Finally, the emperor asked Yan Zhe to go to Xiqiang as an envoy to send congratulations to Xiqiang. At the same time, he also wanted to know how Princess Xiaoyue was doing in Xiqiang.
This can be regarded as a son inheriting his father's legacy.
"Mr. Yan" Fu Mingjiao was happy but also a little worried. When Daye and Xiqiang were negotiating for peace, it was Duke Qing who went to negotiate. Therefore, it was not surprising that the king of Xiqiang would ask Duke Qing to send an envoy, but Duke Qing had passed away. .
And asking Yan Zhe to go on an envoy will definitely remind him of all the things he did when he followed his father to negotiate with the Xiqiang.
Fu Mingjiao frowned with some worry, and then learned from Ji Xiang that the emperor intended to let Yan Zhe inherit the position of Duke of Qing, but he needed to contribute to Daye State, start a family in the capital, and revitalize the Duke of Qing.
The meaning is to let Yan Zhe marry a wife, and the candidate must satisfy the emperor. The so-called contribution means being able to be used by the emperor.
Yan Zhe did not directly answer the emperor's intention. He said that he would observe filial piety for his father for three years and would not discuss marriage before the three years were up.
Fu Mingjiao was not surprised at all. The position of Duke of Qing could not move him at all.
"Go and send a greeting to the Duke of Qing. Tomorrow I will go with the general to pay him a visit." Fu Mingjiao lowered her eyes slightly and looked sideways at Jixiang and whispered.
"Yes." Jixiang agreed quickly.
Given such an opportunity, Fu Mingjiao certainly hopes to ask Yan Zhe to bring something to Xuanyuan Xiaoyue. At the same time, she also wants to know something about Xuanyuan Xiaoyue's current situation. It would be best to see Xiaoyue with her own eyes. She is still very fond of Yan Zhe. trust.
Although the two countries are said to be married, they are still two countries and cannot exchange letters all the time. Fu Mingjiao has not heard from Xuanyuan Xiaoyue for a long time.
She will definitely strive for an opportunity like Yan Zhe¡¯s mission this time.
"Young Master, there is a greeting card!" In the Qingguo Duke's Mansion, the steward ran into the inner courtyard excitedly holding the greeting card in his hand. The Qingguo Duke's Mansion had not received a greeting card in how many years! How could it not be exciting!
"Whose greeting card is it from?" Yan Zhe turned around and asked with some surprise.
"Sir, this is a greeting card from the General's Mansion." The old housekeeper quickly handed the exquisite and simple greeting card to Yan Zhe's hand.
Yan Zhe¡¯s eyes brightened and he reached out to take it. The greeting note was written by Yin Xuanlin himself, and he brought his wife to visit
Yan Zhe pursed his lips and smiled. He looked at the seal signed with the general's mansion and said with a smile: "General Yin and the general's wife will come to the door tomorrow. You should go down and get ready. Clean up all the weeds and fallen leaves in the courtyard of the mansion."
"Yes, yes! Let me get ready now!" The old housekeeper was overjoyed and hurriedly asked his servants to clean. This was even more exciting and joyful than the Chinese New Year.
The Duke of Qing was thoroughly cleaned up and down. Attendants stood in front of the door to greet him. The lanterns were replaced with new ones. Yan Zhe specially changed into a navy blue brocade suit and sat in the main hall with a jade crown on his head. Welcome the arrival of the two.
The carriage of the General's Mansion stopped in front of the Qingguo Duke's Mansion, and the old housekeeper had already walked down the stairs to greet him.
"I've met General Yin, Madam." The steward leaned over and said, "Young master has prepared tea and is waiting in the main hall. General, please come here."
"Thank you." Yin Xuanlin nodded and thanked in a low voice, holding Fu Mingjiao's hand and walking towards the mansion.
This is the first time Fu Mingjiao has walked into the Qingguo Duke's Mansion. The Qingguo Duke's Mansion seems to be as elegant and simple as Yan Zhe's. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
