MTL - After Giving Way To My Husband’s Sweetheart-Chapter 118 Don’t marry anyone other than Sima Chao
A few days after Sima Zhengde's memorial requesting for Sima Zhengde's title was handed over, the order for Sima Chaoguan to be reinstated came down.
Of course, this will is not the intention of the current Holy Emperor. The old emperor only has a breath of leisurely energy left, so how can he still have this ability.
At present, imperial power is mainly controlled by the Guo family and Prime Minister Zhang Bingcheng.
Of course, military power is controlled by the Sima family.
Zhang Bingcheng was the elder brother of the former empress. Although the former empress and the prince were deposed, the Zhang family had deep roots in the court and the Guo family had not been able to completely eradicate them.
Allying the Sima family to deal with the Zhang family together is Concubine Guo's biggest wish at the moment, so she can't wait to marry her daughter to Sima Chao. That's why Sima Chao can be reinstated so easily.
Sima Chao accepted the imperial edict and went to the palace to thank him the next day.
Love smiled and replied: "He is a big businessman and has many things to do. Besides, we don't have much to do with him. It is true that he helped us, but speaking of it, we are just casual acquaintances."
Shuangchi looked at Sima Chao with a smile on his face and said, "After all, how do you want to thank me?"
Shuangchi said disdainfully: "It's not like my mother-in-law doesn't know my daughter's thoughts. I have been in love with Major General Sima for a long time. Naturally, I want to get my wish as soon as possible. Humph! As far as I know, the noble daughter in Beijing is not thinking about him. Young Master, if someone else takes advantage of you first and I **** it away, it will be trouble after all."
At the west border of Wujin, Love finished her dinner and went into the house to continue doing embroidery.
Lantian was talking about Zhao Yi'an, and couldn't help but look at Love and asked: "Miss, why haven't you seen Mr. Zhao coming to our place recently?"
Although the imperial edict was issued by Guo Guifei, the old emperor had not yet ascended to heaven, so he still had to go through the formalities.
"You are smart." Shuangchi said proudly: "Is it really the grace of the queen mother, or is it my own will."
Seeing that Sima Chao was about to leave, Shuangchi quickly blocked him in front of him and asked coyly with a smile: "Has your father told you about you and me?"
Lan Tian came in and said, "The sun is about to set. Doing show work at this time is most harmful to the eyes."
She gave Lan Tian an angry look and said, "Who can complain about having too much money? When we save more money, we may be able to open a big restaurant in the future."
Qiu Ying quickly echoed: "Princess is a noble person, and she has beautiful face and beautiful face, so she should have the most handsome man in the world." Shuangchi heard these words, and she said with a smile: "This princess is interested in more than just Sima Chao has such a good skin, and his cold temperament is also what I like. He looks like a man, much better than those pretty boys who are servile in front of this princess."
Having said that, Sima Chao didn't wait for Shuangchi's reaction this time, so he walked around him and strode away.
Sima Chao glanced at Shuangchi and asked: "Princess, how do you want me to thank you?"
“The more critical the moment, the more calm you must be. Only in this way can you accomplish great things.”
Shuangchi stopped Sima Chao and asked with a smile: "Major General, where are you going?"
Shuangchi smiled and replied: "My father is unconscious now. If you thank him, you might as well thank me." After saying that, she ordered to the palace people beside her: "This princess wants to discuss with you the young master." The general will speak alone, so please retreat first."
Shuangchi smiled and replied: "Concubine, don't wait any longer. Please hurry up and issue an order. Isn't it your long-cherished wish that we form an alliance with the Sima family?"
Lantian advised: "Our restaurant business is good now. Now that we don't have to worry about food and drink, young lady doesn't have to work as hard as before."
Shuangchi stood on tiptoes and looked towards the place where Sima Chao had gone. When she saw that there was no more human figure, she looked away angrily and replied: "Let's go and see my mother and concubine."
It wasn't until Qiu Ying, the personal female officer, came over to speak that Shuangchi came back to her senses. She smiled and said, "This is the only man in the world who is worthy of this princess."
Seventy-nine. One-three-four. One-eight-five. Seventy-five
Concubine Guo smiled, looked at her daughter and said, "You are so competitive, so you just follow me."
When Shuangchi met Concubine Guo, she directly asked about her life-long events.
"The queen mother said that I would be surrendered to Major General Sima. When will she give the order?"
Shuangchi stood there, looking at the tall and handsome back, and stood there for a long time.
“I don’t think so.” Lan Tian held his cheek in one hand and murmured, “Why do I always feel that Mr. Zhao is hiding something from us?”
Sima Chao smiled and replied: "There is no need to ask, I know, this is the grace of the noble concubine."
Concubine Guo sighed slightly and replied: "I do have such thoughts. I also mentioned this matter to General Sima a while ago, but General Sima has not replied yet. If I make such a rash decision The decree granting marriage seems like we are in a hurry."
"Miss, you have great ambitions. Hehe, to be honest, I am quite satisfied with where we are now."
The current income from the restaurant is indeed enough for their family, but Love always feels that if they save more wealth, the family will be more secure.
“That’s all the princess is thinking about.” After saying that, Sima Chao walked away.
Concubine Guo glared at her daughter and replied, "How could a princess like you get married in such a hurry?"
He entered the inner palace and "happened" to encounter Shuangchi on the way.
“He seems to have a lot of secrets about him that are hard for people to see through.”
Shuangchi smiled sweetly and said coquettishly, "I haven't thought about it yet."
“Major General Sima is so handsome!”
As she spoke, she looked at Sima Chao and said coquettishly: "So, the person you should thank the most should be me."
As he spoke, Lantian held his cheek with one hand and murmured: "Speaking of which, we have to thank Mr. Zhao. If he hadn't introduced us to such a good shop, we wouldn't be living like this now."
Sima Chao said expressionlessly: "I'm going to meet the Holy Spirit to thank him."
After everyone retreated, Shuangchi approached Sima Chao and said mysteriously: "Do you know who made the decree to reinstate your officer?"
Sima Chao was about to blurt out instinctively, but after a second thought, he pretended to be confused and said, "What did you say? My father has been ill recently and has not told me anything about the princess."
"The person the princess likes is naturally the best." Qiu Ying flattered again. Seeing that Shuangchi was happy, she took the opportunity to persuade: "Princess, let's leave quickly, the noble concubine is waiting for you to come over."
The master and servant were chatting here, and Yu Nuan came in and replied: "Miss, the girl who came to see you last time is here again to see you."
Love was confused and asked: "Which girl?"
Yu Nuan replied: "It's the one named Ning'er."
