Time travel! The little princess came down the mountain and made a scene in the palace
Chapter 76: Life is worth living
Not long after Song Liuli left, the eunuch arrived with the emperor's edict.
"Young Master Chu, accept the order."
"Father-in-law, my son is not feeling well and cannot get out of bed. How about I take his place?"
"also."
"Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor."
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims that Song Liuli, the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Song, is dignified and generous, of outstanding character and appearance, and has reached the age of marriage. I am choosing her as a husband for Heaven. Chu Nanxi, the son of Chu Hanzhi, the Lord of Shucheng, is handsome and has passed the age of twenty. He is suitable for marriage. I shall choose a virtuous woman as his match. I shall choose her as a good match and choose a day for the wedding. I decree this."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
"The Emperor has asked me to tell City Lord Chu that he will be returning to Shu City soon to marry Miss Song."
"The minister obeys the order."
Chu Nanxi lay on the bed listening to her father-in-law read out the imperial edict, feeling completely hopeless.
He clutched the quilt tightly with both hands, and was so angry that he was about to go crazy. He avoided marrying the second princess, but failed to avoid the marriage granted by the emperor. What should he do? Should he run away from the marriage?
The emperor has granted me a marriage. If I run away, that would be disobeying the emperor's order. How could I bear to watch my parents and sister being beheaded?
Is the Emperor very idle? Why is he always so fixated on his own marriage? Can't he arrange a marriage for someone else?
Knowing that he was a "dying man" and was reluctant to let the princess become a widow, he brought trouble to the prime minister's legitimate daughter. His own daughter was a treasure, so it didn't matter if other people's daughters became widows.
When City Lord Chu saw his father-in-law leave, he came to the bedside, looked at his son who seemed to have lost all hope in life, and thought of Song Liuli. He immediately felt that they were a perfect match.
Get married first and then start a career. After his son marries Miss Song, he can follow him to manage Shucheng with peace of mind. In two years, he can give birth to a big fat grandson. That would be wonderful. Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing.
"Dad, are you my real dad? I'm so sad, and you can still smile. How can I have a dad like you?"
"Dad is happy to think that you will get married soon. Your marriage is the top priority of our family right now. How can I not be happy that your wish has come true soon?"
"What do you think of this marriage?"
"Can I say no?"
"No, the Emperor has granted us a marriage and we have no choice. If you have other ideas, please give them up immediately, or our whole family will suffer."
"Dad, I don't want to marry the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Can you go to the Emperor to cancel the engagement?"
"Yes, but our family will soon receive an imperial decree to confiscate our property and behead us. If you can bear to watch your parents and sister die, I will go to the emperor to cancel the engagement."
"Just pretend I didn't say anything."
"But I'm miserable. I have to marry someone I've never met. It's hard to think about it."
City Lord Chu looked at him fiercely, "Don't you know who Song Liuli, the daughter of Prime Minister Song's mansion, is?"
"Dad, are you kidding me? How could I possibly know the eldest daughter or the second daughter of the Song family?"
City Lord Chu was speechless when he looked at his silly son. He had been with the girl for several months but he didn't know she was a girl and didn't know her identity. How could he have given birth to such a fool?
When my wife and I gave birth to him, we forgot to give him a good head.
At this time Song Liuli came, and City Lord Chu looked at her and smiled.
"Mr. Song is here. The emperor just sent a eunuch to read the imperial edict."
"City Lord Chu, what imperial decree did the emperor issue?"
"The royal decree granting Nancy marriage."
Song Liuli anxiously asked, "City Lord Chu, which girl did the Emperor betroth to Mr. Chu?"
Yes... City Lord Chu paused deliberately, making Song Liuli extremely nervous.
She asked eagerly: "Lord Chu, which girl do you think the emperor will marry Mr. Chu to?"
"It's Song Liuli, the daughter of Prime Minister Song."
She was shocked and repeated, "Is it Song Liuli, the daughter of Prime Minister Song? Are you sure it's Song Liuli?"
"Of course, this is the emperor's decree. Please take a look."
She was eager to confirm the contents of the imperial edict, and when she saw her own name, she smiled slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.
She smiled shyly at City Lord Chu, "Your Majesty, really betroth Song Liuli to Chu Nanxi."
"Mr. Song, how about this marriage?"
She smiled shyly: "Very good."
"What's good about that? I don't think it's good. Whoever wants to marry Song Liuli can do so. I will be grateful to him for the rest of my life."
When Song Liuli heard Chu Nanxi's words, her expression suddenly changed.
"Mr. Song, don't listen to his nonsense. He still doesn't know who he is going to marry, so he objects. Once he sees the bride, he will definitely not object, and may even be secretly delighted."
"Who said I was happy? I want to die."
"This brat is talking nonsense. Mr. Song, don't listen to his nonsense."
"City Lord Chu, I understand."
"When will you go back?"
"Go back tomorrow to prepare to marry the bride."
"My mother said that you helped me a lot when I was in Shucheng. She wanted to thank you in person. Can you meet with my mother?"
City Lord Chu whispered: "Sure, meeting will also allow your mother to feel at ease marrying you to our Nancy."
"When the time comes, you should let Nancy know your identity! It's better to know now than on the wedding day."
"it is good."
"We'll meet at a pavilion about fifty miles outside of Shizhou City at noon tomorrow. I have no choice but to ask your mother to do it. It's a little shabby, but it will avoid causing unnecessary trouble."
"City Lord Chu, don't worry, my mother doesn't care about these things."
"I told the city lord today that next time we meet, you have to call me dad."
Song Liuli smiled shyly, "Yes."
Chu Nanxi suddenly interrupted, "Why change your words?"
"You can get a word in anywhere."
"Mr. Song, go in and have a chat with Nancy."
"Yes."
City Lord Chu was kind enough to close the door and let them have a good chat.
