Long Live the Empress

Chapter 328 Marriage Decree

Yan Liyuan had been gone for a long time, and Yue Jinghao was a little worried. After all, Yan Liyuan's status was there, and the princess was not someone who would win over the rich and powerful. With Yan Liyuan's temper, if he angered the princess...

The more Yue Jinghao thought about it, the more she felt that Yan Liyuan and the princess were more likely to fight, so she hurriedly called out, "Wang Er!"

Someone flew in, but it was not Wang Er's voice, "Miss!"

"Who are you? Where is Wang Er?"

It was a woman's voice. The voice was unfamiliar and Yue Jinghao had never heard it before.

"Miss, I'm Wang Nineteen. The governor said that you are a woman in the boudoir and it would be inconvenient for Brother Wang to serve you. From now on, I will serve you closely! Brother Wang will serve you outside!" Wang Nineteen was born a secret guard. Even though he was wearing a maid's clothes, the murderous aura he exuded was suffocating.

Manju was not afraid at all. She looked at Wang Shijiu enviously as he entered the house while panting, and said, "You are really good at it!"

Wang Shijiu said expressionlessly: "Thank you for the compliment, young lady!"

"Xiao Nineteen, whose martial arts is better, yours or Brother Wang's?" Agate said. Although she had never seen Wang Yi's martial arts, but since he could be called "One", his martial arts must be the best!

Little Nineteen... ?

Wang Nineteen's expressionless face cracked a little. She was dull and usually practiced martial arts except for executing tasks. She rarely interacted with people. However, because of her good martial arts, she was the big sister among the secret guards. No one had ever called her... Little Nineteen...

Looking at Manju's expectant and eager eyes, Wang Shijiu said, "He is on par with Brother Wang!"

"Wow! That's very high!" Manju pulled Wang Shijiu up from the ground and stuffed a handful of melon seeds into Wang Shijiu's hand. "Then we will serve the young lady together in the future? Great! The young lady is very nice! By the way, how old are you, little Shijiu?..."

Yue Jinghao smiled helplessly, listening to Manju asking Wang Shijiu all kinds of questions, such as how old are you, what do you like to eat, what do you usually do, how do you practice martial arts...

Anyway, Manju said ten sentences and Wang Shijiu answered one sentence...

Yue Jinghao could sense that Wang Shijiu was a little uncomfortable, so she asked, "Where is your master?"

"My lady, the governor said he has gone to prepare the betrothal gifts for her, and asked her not to wait for him for dinner!"

Who wants to wait for him to eat?

Self-indulgent!

Not

what?

bride price?

Does that mean the princess agreed?

"What betrothal gift?" Agate stared at Wang Shijiu with wide eyes.

"The governor wants to marry the young lady!" said Wang Nineteen.

"Getting married?" Manjue was so shocked that the melon seeds in her hand fell to the ground. "Young lady is going to get married with Jiuqiansui?"

Yue Jinghao held her forehead with her hand. Why was this girl’s reaction even bigger than hers?

"Then I have to quickly prepare the wedding dress, the red veil, the embroidered shoes... Oh, no, Xiao Shijiu, I told you to write it down, don't miss anything... people will laugh at you..." Agate hurriedly took the paper and pen and stuffed them into Wang Shijiu's hand, saying one thing at a time.

Yue Jinghao sighed helplessly. She wanted to say that Yan Liyuan was the ninth thousand year old, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs would take care of it properly, so there was no need to worry! But after hearing Manju's excited voice, Yue Jinghao couldn't bear to interrupt her, so she let her go.

royal palace, royal study

"Ayuan, why are you here today?" Yan Liyuan seldom attends court recently because he was injured and had to take care of Yue Jinghao. The old emperor couldn't help feeling a little worried when he saw the dark circles under Yan Liyuan's eyes, but he felt that there was a hint of joy on Yan Liyuan's face no matter how he looked at him.

"Your Majesty, the governor is here today to ask for your permission!" Yan Liyuan's tone was cheerful, which made the old emperor even more confused.

Yan Liyuan had been a deep-minded person since he was young, and rarely showed his true feelings like this.

"What is your request?"

"The Imperial Decree of Marriage!"

I thought the old emperor would ask or joke, but he took out a bright yellow imperial edict from the secret compartment of the dragon case and said, "Take it!"

Yan Liyuan's eyes flickered slightly, he picked up the imperial edict, opened it and took a look...

The chief eunuch scratched his head, moved closer to Yan Liyuan, and tilted his head to look at the imperial edict, which read:

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, summons Princess Jing'an, saying that Princess Jing'an is beautiful and intelligent, virtuous and talented, and a model of women who can stand tall and proud. She is the epitome of a woman who can defend her country. I hereby confer her the title of Princess Jing'an, and grant her ten boxes of jewels and twenty pieces of silk... I grant her marriage to Yan Liyuan, who is nine thousand years old, and choose a day for the wedding. I decree this..."

The eunuch looked at the imperial edict, then looked at the old emperor, and then looked at the imperial edict again. Suddenly he thought of something and his face looked a little ugly.

Yan Liyuan closed the imperial edict, bowed slightly and was about to leave. The old emperor hurriedly called him and said, "Hey... why don't you ask me how I can predict the future?"

Yan Liyuan glanced at the old emperor with a proud look, and the slightly raised corners of his lips revealed his good mood at the moment, and said, "The emperor must have realized that the two of us are a perfect match, so he wrote this imperial edict so early!"

The old emperor...

He knew Yan Liyuan was shameless, but he didn't expect him to be so shameless...

"Get out, get out... Take the imperial edict and get out!"

The old emperor held his forehead and waved his hands to drive Yan Liyuan away.

This time, Yan Liyuan bowed respectfully to the old emperor, then turned and left.

As soon as Yan Liyuan left, the old emperor happily jumped up from the dragon throne and paced back and forth in the hall, "Hahaha, A Yuan is going to get married! Brother, sister-in-law, A Yuan is going to get married! Hahahaha..."

Seeing the old emperor dancing with joy, the eunuch tiptoed to get out. He finally reached the door and had one foot out when the old emperor's excited voice rang out behind him, "Where are you going?"

"Uh... I'll bring the tea..."

"Huh, isn't the teacup still full of tea?"

"Uh……"

"You old rascal... You didn't forget that we had a bet, did you?" The old emperor's voice sounded sinister in the eunuch's ears, as if if he dared to say that he had forgotten, the old emperor would break his neck...

The eunuch swallowed his saliva, closed his eyes and said: "I haven't forgotten!"

"Okay then, shall we begin?"

The eunuch walked dejectedly and looked back every few steps, trying to ask the old emperor to change his mind, but he still didn't hear the old emperor's voice until he hugged the big pillar in the hall.

Finally, under the pressure of the old emperor, the eunuch closed his eyes and shouted at the top of his voice: "I am a fool... I am a fool... I am a fool..."

“Hahahahahahaha…” The old emperor slapped his thigh and laughed so hard that he fell backwards.

The chief eunuch pouted his lips and paced casually as he ground ink for the old emperor.

Outside the palace, the young eunuchs heard their godfather yell "I'm a fool" three times. They looked at each other in bewilderment, feeling anxious: Could their godfather be crazy?
