By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: Princess Rongshang, the daughter of the princess, is skillful and generous, gentle and honest, and has outstanding appearance. I am very pleased to hear that. Now that Prince Anxian's son, Anluojun, is ready to marry, he should choose a virtuous daughter to marry him.
Matching. Princess Rongshang is waiting for you in your boudoir. She and Prince An are a match made in heaven and earth. In order to become a beautiful woman, you are specially given to marry Prince An as your wife. All etiquette will be supervised by the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor.
Let’s make arrangements together and choose an auspicious day to get married. Here’s to it!
"Congratulations to Your Highness Princess, Crown Prince An and the princess, for their happy marriage. Your Majesty personally granted them the marriage." The father-in-law handed the imperial edict to the princess. Obviously, this imperial edict was given to the princess.
"Thank you, father-in-law." The princess knelt down and accepted the imperial edict. As she spoke, a woman came forward and handed a large ingot of silver to her father-in-law. She asked, "I wonder why your father-in-law is here to announce the edict?"
"The servant went to Luo Mansion. Mr. Luo went out to do business. Only then did he know that the princess had come to Nanwang Town and reported back to the emperor. The emperor asked the servant to come here to announce the decree so that the princess would know about this great event and return to the capital earlier.
Get ready." Then he said to Mr. An Luo, "My father-in-law who went to Mocheng to announce the decree is counting the days and should arrive in Mocheng in the next two days. I am here to congratulate Prince An and Prince Anxian!"
"Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law." An Luojun smiled and winked at the guard behind him, who immediately stepped forward and rewarded him with silver.
But for some reason, Lu Ziwan saw a trace of anger and surprise in An Luojun's eyes. It seemed that this imperial edict granting marriage made the usually gentle An Luojun feel angry.
Lu Ziyuan looked at Princess Rongshang and smiled in her heart. No wonder the eyes of Princess Rongshang when looking at Prince An these two days were full of shyness. The emperor must have discussed it with the princess before granting the marriage.
With the princess's permission, the princess must have mentioned their marriage in her letter to Princess Rongshang, so Princess Rongshang would be shy, but she was not surprised at all at this moment.
After the father-in-law received the reward, he was still chatting and laughing with the princess, and he accidentally mentioned that the Queen Mother intended to select concubines for the entire dynasty of the Emperor. It seemed that all the women who were old enough to be engaged must participate in the election.
When Lu Ziwan heard this, she was shocked. What's the point? Entering the palace to be a concubine? Is this going to cost her her life?
"I wonder if what my father-in-law said is true?" Madam Bai asked what Lu Ziyuan wanted to ask.
"This servant also heard what the maids in the Queen Mother's Palace said. I guess there is no lie. However, I probably don't know when the time will be." The father-in-law said with a smile, "This is a good thing. Who still has a betrothal?"
My daughter, don't be in a hurry to get engaged now. If you wait for ten days and a half, maybe the imperial edict will be issued and she can be sent to the palace by then. As long as the emperor likes her, she can stay in the palace to serve the emperor.
"
After the father-in-law and the princess talked for a while, they left the Bai Mansion with the young eunuch and rushed back to the capital. Mrs. Bai frowned, and when the princess saw her, she asked what she was worried about.
"I don't know whether the news brought by my father-in-law is true or false. To be honest, my sister has a girl who has not yet been engaged. We ordinary people don't expect our daughter to enter the palace. We just hope that our daughter will be safe.
Just live your life peacefully under your own eyes." Mrs. Bai said this straightforwardly. People like her who are relatively wealthy and not short of money would never want to send the daughter she loves in the palm of her hand to...
In the palace, there is no big backstage, and the girl is not yet pregnant. How can she catch the emperor's eye with her stunning beauty? If she doesn't become a concubine, she will have to stay in the palace as a servant to serve others! By God's fate, the emperor issued an edict: "The princess's daughter"
Princess Rongshang is skillful and generous, gentle and kind-hearted, and has outstanding appearance. I am very pleased to hear that. Now that Prince Anxian's son, An Luojun, is of marriageable age, he should choose a virtuous daughter and his wife. Princess Rongshang should treat her as a maiden.
In the middle, you and Prince An are a match made in heaven and earth. In order to become a beautiful woman, I have specially given you to marry Prince An as your wife. All the etiquette will be jointly handled by the Ministry of Etiquette and Qin Tian Jianzheng, and an auspicious day will be chosen to consummate the marriage. Here you go!
