Chapter 2423 Noble Lady 30
Once she's married into a wealthy family, she can then deal with those two scumbags, Shen Yu and Princess Zhaoyang, and that will be a happy ending for everyone.
After waiting for a few days, they received an imperial edict from the palace.
Led by Han Qingyou, the entire Han family knelt down to receive the imperial decree.
"The beginning of Heaven (乾) inevitably relies on the strength and compliance of Earth (坤) to prepare for external governance and supplement internal duties, thus enabling the prosperity of the nation. The long-standing emptiness of the Central Palace (中壶) necessitates the initiation of a grand undertaking, respectfully adhering to established precedents and conforming to moral principles. We have Han Qingyou, daughter of Han Shen, born into a distinguished family, blessed with auspicious virtues. She possesses inherent talent and illustrious character; she has been granted honors and received blessings while skillfully fulfilling her duties within the household. Her virtuous conduct and prudence are worthy to continue the family's legacy; her gentle and respectful character is truly worthy to carry on the family's virtuous traditions. In the past, she ruled the six..." "Having assumed the duties of Empress Dowager, it is fitting to follow the established procedures; now, after three years, the time has come, and the ceremony is held in accordance with the Empress Dowager's decree. By the Empress Dowager's command, with the golden book and golden seal, you are hereby established as Empress. You shall uphold her virtuous teachings and serve as a model for the inner palace. Diligently cultivate the virtues of gentleness and tranquility, finding joy and longevity in your duties; strive diligently in your frequent tasks, upholding the proper etiquette within the inner palace. May the Empress Dowager's benevolent grace ensure your eternal happiness; may the virtuous teachings of the Imperial Household Department continue the legacy of your predecessors, manifesting the mandate of heaven, and bringing forth abundant blessings. Respectfully obey!"
Listening to the eunuch's words, Han Qingyou was completely confused. In any case, she only clearly heard one sentence: the emperor had bestowed a marriage upon her.
Or did he bestow himself upon himself, and then become the empress?
Han Qingyou remained indifferent for a moment, so, her next step was to become the Empress!
Did the Emperor simply say that she was better than Princess Zhaoyang, and then become so generous as to bestow her in marriage?
The men of the Han family were experiencing a mix of joy and sorrow at this moment.
The good news is that my sister, despite being divorced, will become the future empress and mother of the nation.
The worry is that they have no idea what the Emperor means by this. Even Han Shen doesn't know why the Emperor would suddenly have this idea.
When Han Qingyou was getting a divorce, although the Han family held a high position among civil officials, there were still many people gossiping behind her back. Some even watched with amusement, wondering if the Han family would support Han Qingyou for the rest of her life, or what kind of person Han Qingyou would marry in the future.
No one expected that Han Qingyou would be the Empress!
Although the Crown Princess passed away early and Han Qingyou was not the Empress, the problem is... Han Qingyou got divorced!
For a divorced woman to become an empress is absolutely unprecedented!
Some people suggested that Your Majesty, if you like Han Qingyou, you should take her as a concubine!
Becoming an imperial concubine after a divorce is a pretty good way to retreat.
What surprised everyone even more was that the emperor defied all opposition and insisted on marrying Qingyou as his empress!
Upon receiving this imperial edict, the one who could not bear it the most was Shen Yu!
Shen Yu locked himself in his study and instantly imagined being cuckolded. In his mind, the reason why Han Qingyou insisted on divorcing him must be that she had already gotten involved with the Crown Prince when they were at the Han residence. However, at that time, the Crown Prince already had a Crown Princess, and Han Qingyou would not lower herself to be a concubine, so she married him instead!
It's my own foolishness that I was made a sucker and left to take the fall without even realizing it!
She was pampered and spoiled, but in the end, she was slapped in the face repeatedly!
Shen Yu was both angry and furious. He was angry at Han Qingyou's shamelessness, and even more furious at the emperor's reckless behavior!
Although he didn't do anything special to Han Qingyou, he still felt in his heart that Han Qingyou was spoiling him rotten.
