Everyone was sensible, and they knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Remember your Majesty's teachings."
Xiao Yunchu nodded with satisfaction and said: "Everyone, get up."
Everyone thanked him and sat back.
Xiao Yunchu turned around and blinked at Mu Yun'an, as if asking her, was she powerful or not?
Mu Yun'an smiled and said: "Everyone has seen the Queen's grace just now, now it's time for the Queen to see your talents."
This was a rare opportunity to show off, and naturally no one would give it up, so the ladies from various families competed for their beauty, which added a lot of fun to the banquet.
Here in the Royal Garden, there was constant laughter and it was very lively.
The imperial study room was much deserted. Yan Jingxuan was writing an imperial edict at his desk. Every time he wrote a word, he would look up at Xiao Chengyi and confirm: "Are you really going to do this?"
Xiao Chengyi was asked endlessly by him, and he said with a dark face: "You can just write if I ask you to. Why are you so verbose?"
Yan Jingxuan was not nagging, but felt that Xiao Chengyi was digging a hole for him again. He said, "What if my cousin wants to settle a score with me?"
What Xiao Chengyi asked him to write was none other than the imperial edict conferring marriage to Yuan Shuolin, and the candidate for the marriage was naturally Li Yueling.
But he knew very well that Yuan Shuolin would not agree to the marriage.
Xiao Chengyi smiled and said: "Your Majesty is the emperor, who dares to settle accounts with you? Write it quickly."
Yan Jingxuan had no choice but to finish writing the marriage edict and then handed it to Xiao Chengyi.
Xiao Chengyi checked it once, and after confirming that it was correct, he sent a eunuch to the Li Mansion to announce the decree.
Yan Jingxuan asked curiously: "What are you planning on?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "Then how does Your Majesty think this matter should be resolved? Li Yueling jumped into the lake and was rescued by King Jing. Who will marry her if King Jing doesn't marry her? Do you have to force a girl to death?"
Yan Jingxuan was choked by him and had nothing to say. He knew that Xiao Chengyi must have his own motives for doing this, so he didn't care.
Soon, the eunuch who delivered the edict came to the Li Mansion. After reading the edict, Li Xun and the entire Li family were very happy.
Only Li Yueling's face was pale, not showing much joy.
After sending away the eunuch who delivered the edict, Li Xuan read the imperial edict back and forth several times and said excitedly: "Ling'er, aren't you dreaming as a father? Are you really going to marry King Jing and become the princess?"
Next to her, Li Yueling's mother, Mrs. Zhou, was looking around at the rewards sent from the palace, her eyes shining.
Li Yueling looked at them and suddenly felt a deep sense of sadness. She said, "I'm tired, so I'll go back first."
Li Xuan waved his hand casually, and Mrs. Zhou didn't even ask a question.
Li Yueling turned around and went back to her room. She closed the door and sat in front of the mirror, looking at her unfamiliar self.
The Li family is not a hereditary noble. Her father rose from county magistrate to prefect and then entered the capital step by step.
Before coming to the capital, she lived a slightly richer life than ordinary people, with no worries about food and clothing and no worries.
After arriving in the capital, she had to be careful in what she said and did, and she didn't dare to make any mistakes.
At that time, all the noble ladies in the capital looked up to Han Qianyu, the daughter of the Prime Minister, and all of them rushed to curry favor with her, and she was no exception.
However, how could Han Qianyu really have a heart-to-heart relationship with them? He was just enjoying the sense of superiority of being held up by others.
The most shameful thing for her was that in order to please her, she knelt on the ground and used her sleeves to wipe her dirty shoes.
Thinking of this, Li Yueling suddenly smiled in front of the mirror, and tears flowed from her eyes just by smiling.
