The Concubine Strikes Back: The Marquis Insists on Me to Be His Wife

Princess Shaohua informed the emperor of this matter. Of course, she would not tell everything. She only said that the two of them were in love and asked the emperor to decree their marriage.

The emperor was very pleased after hearing this and thought it was indeed a good thing. After all, his sister had always had good taste. Since she thought Li Shang and Miss Xing were a good match, then this boy should be good too. So he called General Xing and Li Shang.

After the two of them arrived, the emperor asked Li Shang directly: "I heard from my sister that you and General Xing's daughter are in love with each other? How about I decree that you two get married?"

Li Shang quickly knelt down to express his gratitude, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Princess. Miss Xing and I really treat each other sincerely."

General Xing was very surprised by the emperor's sudden question! He also stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted, saying: "Your Majesty, it is a blessing for our family that my daughter can be favored by you. But ~ I would like to ask my daughter's opinion, please agree."

When Princess Shaohua heard this, she knew that General Xing would definitely not agree. Otherwise, Xing Yuning would not have risked such a big risk to ask for her help. So she quickly ordered the servants around her: "Go and call Miss Xing over." The servants hurried over. After a while, they brought Xing Yuning over.

Xing Yuning saw Li Shang kneeling on the ground, thinking that the princess must have facilitated this, but her father's face looked a little ugly, and he must have disagreed. "Your servant Xing Yuning pays respect to the emperor. Long live the emperor!"

"Let me ask you, I heard that Lord Li and you are in love with each other? I wonder if this is true or false?" The emperor looked at Xing Yuning and asked with a smile.

Xing Yuning bowed slightly and replied respectfully: "In reply to the emperor, I have admired you for a long time." Her voice was soft but firm, and her eyes were shining with sincerity.

Hearing this answer, the emperor laughed heartily: "That's great! I have always hoped that a pair of lovers can finally get married, so I will grant you a marriage and choose an auspicious date to make this a beautiful story come true."

General Xing's heart sank, and he wanted to speak to stop him, but the emperor had already said it, and it was irreversible. He sighed helplessly and could only kneel down to thank the emperor: "Thank you for your grace!"

Li Shang and Xing Yuning bowed together to express their gratitude, and they had different feelings. Li Shang had a bitter smile on his face, as he knew he could not change the outcome; while Xing Yuning was filled with joy, as she had finally realized her wish.

Soon, the news of the marriage decree spread throughout the palace and people were talking about it.

When Li Shang sat back at the table, he was completely sober. He didn't know why he did such a rude thing, but since it had already happened, he decided to accept the fact. He thought of his beloved woman and felt a pang of pain in his heart. But now it was too late, and he could only accept this marriage resignedly. After all, he was indeed at the age to start a family and career, and he couldn't delay it any longer. Moreover, he didn't want to delay his sister Yue'er.

Xing Yuning was overjoyed at this moment. Her goal was finally achieved. She successfully married Li Shang and became his wife. In the days to come, she would spend her life with Li Shang. She firmly believed that as long as she worked hard, she would be able to win Li Shang's heart.

Su Jinqi was also at the table, and after hearing this, he was delighted. He wanted to go back and tell Meng Zhiyuan the good news.

Meng Zhiyuan was supposed to come today, but Su Jinqi was afraid of something unexpected happening, so she sent her away on the grounds that Meng Zhiyuan was in poor health and was about to give birth.
