HCB Chapter 416 Marriage Decree
Chapter 416 Marriage Decree
Zheng Sisi was still in a daze, and Old Madam Zheng quickly pulled her aside. Zheng Sisi opened her mouth and looked at her grandmother blankly.
Madam Zheng whispered, "First accept the decree and express your gratitude!"
"Oh!" Zheng Sisi reacted and kowtowed: "Thank you, Lord. Long live the emperor!"
Everyone followed her to express their gratitude. Eunuch Mu handed the imperial edict to Zheng Sisi with both hands. She raised both hands above her head to receive the edict, then got up, turned around and helped Old Madam Zheng.
Then he smiled and said to Eunuch Mu: "Eunuch Mu, please go to the mansion and have some tea first."
Eunuch Mu raised his hand to stop him and said, "Princess, don't be anxious. Haven't you accepted the emperor's reward yet?"
Zheng Sisi laughed: "Excuse me, Eunuch Mu, I was so excited that I forgot, haha!"
Eunuch Mu waved his hand, and several eunuchs came forward carrying things, and Nanny Li directed the servants to accept the rewards.
Eunuch Mu continued, "The Princess of Anping County has been promoted to Princess of Anping County. Her status has changed. The Emperor has ordered people to prepare the plaque for the Princess's Mansion. Should the Princess hang it up now?"
Zheng Sisi blinked stupidly: "Your Majesty is so considerate, no, Your Majesty is so thoughtful, Anping is so grateful, I'll have to trouble Eunuch Mu to do it for me."
Eunuch Mu said: "It's an honor!"
Before Nanny Li could make any arrangements, a clever guard went to move the wooden ladders. Two ladders were placed under the plaque at the door, and two guards climbed up and took down the plaques of the two county ladies' mansions.
The streets outside the palace became lively at this time.
"The Princess of Anping County has been promoted to Princess of Anping County. Princess of Anping County is so blessed!"
"You don't understand, this princess was earned through wisdom and hard work."
"Yes, didn't you hear the imperial edict saying that Princess Anping has grown double-season rice, more than a thousand kilograms of potatoes per mu, and more than three thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes!"
"Also, the corn and many other vegetables we ate were things we had never eaten before."
"And chili peppers. They are the best seasoning for cooking. I can't eat without chili peppers."
"Yes, I heard from the master in the mansion that the princess also planted winter melons and pumpkins, and they will be available in the market in a few days."
"And watermelon. It gives us watermelon to eat in the summer, and the weather doesn't feel as hot as before."
"Well, the princess has done great things that benefit the people of the world. The Princess Anping deserves the title!"
"........."
Everyone was talking about it, telling out everything they knew, and they knew it better than Zheng Sisi herself.
The people at the door were talking and the gate was busy. Eunuch Mu reached out and took away the plaque held by the eunuch next to him. Two guards took it and hung it at the place where the county lord's mansion was just now.
After the plaque was hung, the people below clapped their hands happily and shouted:
"Congratulations, congratulations to Princess Anping!"
"congratulations!"
The people outside also shouted:
"Congratulations, Princess Anping!"
"Congratulations to Princess Anping!"
Zheng Sisi bowed and thanked: "Thank you! Thank you, thank you everyone!"
After everyone calmed down, Eunuch Mu said, "Princess Anping, please accept my order!"
Zheng Sisi was confused again. Hadn't the imperial edict just been received? Did Eunuch Mu say something wrong?
After all, Old Madam Zheng has seen a lot of things, and looking at the eunuchs' scene behind her, there might be other things going on.
She and Nanny Li looked at each other and saw the same meaning in each other's eyes. They each pulled Zheng Sisi to kneel down again.
Another eunuch came forward and handed the imperial edict on the tray to Eunuch Mu.
Eunuch Mu took it, spread out the imperial edict with both hands, and read it aloud:
According to heaven’s destiny, the emperor issued an edict:
I have heard that husband and wife are the beginning of human relations, and marriage is the source of morality. Now there is Sheng Zhen, the third prince of Dai Viet, who is both talented and handsome, and has good moral character; Zheng Sisi, the Princess of Anping of Dai Viet, is gentle, virtuous, dignified and beautiful. The two are well matched and can be said to be a match made in heaven.
I have granted Sheng Zhen and Zheng Sisi the right to marry, and have chosen an auspicious date for their wedding. I hope that they will treat each other with respect, work together to build a beautiful family, and make contributions to the country and society.
Announce it to the world, and the envoys will hear about it.
The fifth day of the eighth month in the fifteenth year of Yongshun

This was an imperial decree granting marriage. Zheng Sisi already knew what was going on, so she was not confused. She quickly thanked the emperor and accepted the decree.
"Thank you, Lord. Long live the emperor!"
"The marriage was granted to the third prince, the god of war of our Great Yue Kingdom."
"It's truly a match made in heaven! Congratulations to Princess Anping."
"Princess Anping has a double blessing. Congratulations!"
"........."
The people outside were all congratulating and happy for Princess Anping!
Zheng Sisi stood up and took the imperial edict, then held the two edicts together and bowed to the people on the street to express her gratitude: "Thank you all for your blessings. Anping is grateful."
