Chapter 1047 Accept the order
Chapter 1047 Receive the order
Xiao Qing still turned aside to wipe her tears.
Father Chen pinched Chen Xuzhi's waist, and Chen Xuzhi almost screamed "Ouch".
He remembered what his eldest brother said, if he didn't coax the princess, their whole family would be ruined.
Chen Xuzhi knelt on the ground and took a few steps forward, crying bitterly: "Qing'er, it was that **** who seduced me."
"Don't worry, the child has been aborted, and the **** will be kicked out as soon as possible."
“I will definitely give you my whole heart from now on.”
Xiao Qing covered her face with a handkerchief and her heart suddenly turned away.
What happened?
Xu Zhi clearly seemed to be sincere towards that vixen yesterday, and kept saying that he didn't want to be divorced. Why did his attitude completely change today?
She is not stupid, but her world is too simple. Thinking about her father-in-law not being in the Chen Mansion last night, Xiao Qing suddenly understood something.
She turned to look at Chen Xuzhi. Chen Xuzhi was kneeling on the ground, with tears streaming down his handsome face and no sense of beauty at all.
She suddenly felt that this man was no longer worthy of being liked.
In a blink of an eye, he found Chen’s father also kneeling on the ground.
She quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Chen, please get up quickly. This matter has nothing to do with you."
Father Chen stood up and said sadly: "It's because the old minister failed to teach his son well that Xuzhi behaved recklessly."
He kicked Chen Xuzhi and said, "Xuzhi is confused. Princess, don't argue with him. If the princess doesn't calm down, you can give him a good beating."
Chen Xuzhi looked up at Xiao Qing, "Qing'er, it's all me, I know I was wrong. I will never--"
Just as he was talking, a maid hurriedly came in from outside and said, "Princess, my father-in-law came to the front hall and said he was here to deliver an edict."
She glanced at Chen Xuzhi and his son, "Eunuch Yu said, let the Prince Consort, Master Chen, and Mrs. Chen receive the order together."
“Eunuch Yu has sent people to tell Mrs. Chen.”
Father Chen was sweating for a moment. Chen Xuzhi got up from the ground and looked at Xiao Qing eagerly, "Qing'er, this..."
Xiao Qing sighed, "I felt unhappy this morning. I was just complaining to my mother, but I didn't know that my brother went to pay my respects to my mother. Then I found out."
"Brother Huang was furious. I tried to persuade him for a long time, and then his anger calmed down a bit."
“I didn’t expect that Brother Huang would issue an imperial edict.”
Father Chen sighed, he couldn't avoid what was coming, "In that case, let's go to the front hall to receive the order."
The group of people went to the front hall. Eunuch Yu quickly stood up and saluted the princess, and said: "When the old slave came, the emperor said that this imperial edict is not for the princess. The princess does not need to kneel, she can just sit next to her."
Father Chen lowered his head, feeling more and more uneasy. This was enough to show how much the emperor valued his only sister.
Next, people set up an incense table in the front hall.
Not long after, Mrs. Chen was brought in.
The three members of the Chen family knelt down in front of the incense table. Xiao Qing covered the corners of her raised mouth with a handkerchief and sat aside.
When the father-in-law read: "The prince-in-law does not cultivate personal ethics and despises the royal family. He will be punished with thirty big boards."
Chen Xuzhi was kneeling when his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Mother Chen was trembling all over and thought, "Thirty big boards, my God, Xu'er is going to be beaten to death."
Then he heard from Gonggong Dao: "Chen Zhen, the censor of the right capital, has no way to teach his children, and the family tradition has been ruined, so he was demoted to the second rank."
Father Chen felt relieved. Fortunately, he was only demoted one level and his position was not affected.
The emperor was merciful.
After reciting the imperial edict, the three members of the Chen family kowtowed and thanked them.
Eunuch Yu raised his voice and said, "Here comes someone! I'll wait on you!"
