The eunuch who announced the decree left the imperial edict granting marriage and returned to the palace with his men.
Ning Qingyan returned to her small courtyard with the imperial edict with a bright yellow dragon pattern, and Li Yangzhou followed her, wanting to say something but stopping.
"Uncle Zhou, do you have anything to say?" Returning to the small courtyard, Ning Qingyan asked after putting down the imperial edict.
Li Yangzhou saw the imperial edict that she had casually thrown on the table. Next to it were the dishes and chopsticks that she had not yet cleared away after finishing her meal. She opened her mouth, but finally swallowed the reminder.
If the emperor knew that his imperial edict was handled in this way by the eldest lady, he would probably be so angry that he would destroy the nine Ning family clans.
Although, now the Ning family doesn’t even have three clans anymore.
"Miss, why did your Majesty grant you a marriage to a king?" Li Yangzhou asked.
How could Ning Qingyan know what Emperor Dahao was doing? However, after knowing that she was Kun Yuan Ti, she did not object to the husband who was sent to her.
At least, it’s not Zhao Xingyao, who is obviously ordinary but very confident!
"The imperial edict said it was because I was helpless and afraid of being bullied." Ning Qingyan cited the reasons given in the imperial edict.
Li Yangzhou was silent before speaking again: "Miss, is there any way to cancel this marriage?"
"Huh?" Ning Qingyan became curious. "Why do you want to reject it? Could it be that...this King Ding is not as good as Zhao Xingyao?"
Damn it! If that were the case, she would have to go into the palace again and have a fight with the emperor. She is not a rag collector, so why are all the royal family’s crooked melons and jujubes stuffed into her?
"That's not true." Li Yangzhou quickly clarified.
Ning Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, Li Yangzhou's next words made her frown again.
"But, he is not the best candidate for husband."
wipe!
Ning Qingyan's eyes darkened.
Did Emperor Dahao really take her for granted?
"Have you ever heard of the rumors about Prince Ding?" Li Yangzhou asked suddenly.
Ning Qingyan squinted her eyes and recalled her original memory. However, she had been drugged by the Xiao mother and daughter for a long time and was groggy all day long. Her heart was tied to that scumbag Zhao Xingyao. Where could she go?
What are you asking about?
"No." After searching around to no avail, Ning Qingyan shook her head and said truthfully.
Li Yangzhou was not surprised. He just sighed and told everything he knew. "Prince Ding is the youngest brother of His Majesty today. They are from the same mother, so compared to other princes, Your Majesty will be more affectionate."
Favor King Ding."
"However, King Ding has been weak since he was born, and he barely grew up by being soaked in a medicine jar."
"Both the late emperor and the present His Majesty have sought out famous doctors from all over the world to come to Zhongdu to diagnose and treat King Ding."
"However, all the miracle doctors came to the same conclusion. It was said that Wang was born with a flaw and had to use precious medicinal materials that were rare in the world to survive until now. But even so, his body was already riddled with holes and he would not survive until twenty. And
Now, King Ding is nineteen years old."
The subtext of these words is to tell Ning Qingyan that if she really gets married, she will probably become a widow soon.
"It is also because of this that Prince Ding, who is favored by His Majesty, has become the object of avoidance for the married women of all the major families in Zhongdu City."
What's the use of being favored again after such a short life?
Once King Ding dies, how long can the whole family rely on the emperor's favor?
After Li Yangzhou finished speaking, he secretly looked at Ning Qingyan's face.
He originally thought that he would see the frightened and anxious look of the fifteen-year-old girl, but unexpectedly, he saw the excitement bursting out of her eyes.
"???...Miss?" Li Yangzhou looked confused.
Ning Qingyan's lips couldn't help but smile upward.
Isn't this a coincidence!!!
She just needs a 'husband' to activate the 'Kun Yuan Body' for her so that she can start practicing.
But it’s really uncomfortable to have another man pointing fingers and making comments around me.
Now, the marriage arranged by Emperor Dahao for her is simply a perfect match sent from heaven!
"Okay!" Ning Qingyan high-fived.
There was a hint of crack in Li Yangzhou's puzzled expression, and he asked hesitantly: "...Okay?"
Ning Qingyan turned to look at him and smiled brightly. "Uncle Zhou, I am very satisfied with this marriage. You don't have to worry about anything else."
"But..." Over the years, seeing the eldest lady being manipulated by the Xiao mother and daughter, Li Yangzhou no longer wanted to care so much and just wanted to take good care of the old general.
But now, seeing that the eldest lady seemed to be getting better, he couldn't help but give a warning.
However, the eldest lady’s reaction...
"Uncle Zhou, the emperor's order cannot be violated! Compared to Zhao Xingyao, that scumbag who looks down on me and still has his own feelings, I think Prince Ding is very suitable for me." Ning Qingyan said with a sad face.
She was told that it would be best for Prince Ding to die after he gets married, completes his mission as a bridal chamber, and dies!
She doesn't care what people say about Kefu, Tiansha Lone Star, etc.!
Thousands of years ago, no matter how harsh the words were, no matter how vicious the curses were, her ears would become calloused.
"..." Looking at Ning Qingyan's solemn look, Li Yangzhou suddenly felt, 'My young lady has finally grown up! She knows how to endure humiliation and bear the burden!'
"Miss, you have worked so hard for Ning Mansion!" Li Yangzhou's eyes became much warmer.
"This is what I should do." Ning Qingyan said very seriously, even though she knew that Li Yangzhou had misunderstood something.
Li Yangzhou finally stopped trying to persuade him to break off the engagement, and instead started planning for Ning Qingyan. "How long King Ding can live is all one-sided opinions of famous doctors. Maybe King Ding's condition will improve after the eldest daughter marries him.
What? If you take ten thousand steps back, if Prince Ding is no longer with you, and you have the identity of Princess Ding, at least no one from other royal families will dare to bully you anymore."
"Yes." Ning Qingyan smiled politely.
I am not curious at all about Li Yangzhou's transformation.
…
All wedding matters will be organized by the clan mansion.
As an orphan from the Ning family, she could just wait for the auspicious day to get married, so Ning Qingyan didn't need to worry about anything.
However, after Li Yangzhou's relationship with Ning Qingyan eased, he began to make arrangements for her. Before the wedding date was decided, he began to discuss Ning Qingyan's dowry.
"Miss, there is something that the old general should have told you. But now, the time the old general is awake every day is getting shorter and shorter, and you are about to marry into Prince Ding's palace, so I can only tell you."
Li Yangzhou's expression suddenly became serious.
Ning Qingyan felt that what he was about to say must not be simple. "What is it?"
After Li Yangzhou carefully made sure that no one was watching or eavesdropping outside, he said in a deep voice: "Many years ago, the old general once rescued a mysterious cultivator. The mysterious cultivator seemed to have a good background and promised to give the descendants of the Ning family an opportunity to enter.
Qualifications for Xuanmen practice."
"Xuanxiu!" Upon hearing this familiar word, Ning Qingyan's eyes narrowed.
