After I traveled through the book, my whole family overheard my thoughts and went crazy

at dusk.

Xia Siqi sat in her room, daydreaming with a book in her hand.

Lu Zhaofeng has been on the expedition for such a long time.

Why haven't you come back yet?

Could something have happened?

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

Followed by the voice of a eunuch passing on the message.

The Imperial Censor and Madam Xia looked at each other.

Imperial edict! ?

How could an imperial edict suddenly come in the middle of the night?

Could something have happened?

The Imperial Censor thought about it carefully and realized that the court had been peaceful recently and nothing had happened.

What is the reason for this imperial decree?

"Master Xia, may I ask if Miss Xia Siqi is here?" The eunuch walked up to the Imperial Censor with a smile on his face and said, "Hurry up and have someone bring Miss Xia out. This imperial edict belongs to her."

"Siqi's?" The Imperial Censor turned pale with fright.

"Lord Xia, don't be nervous. This is a happy event." The smile on the eunuch's face deepened a little.

The Imperial Censor's expression finally eased a little.

At this time, Xia Siqi also rushed over from the backyard.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that Xia Siqi, the daughter of the Imperial Censor, is skilled, generous, gentle and kind, and is hereby granted marriage to Lu Zhaofeng, the second son of the General. All ceremonies are to be jointly handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Director of the Imperial Observatory, and an auspicious date will be chosen for the wedding. I decree this."

The Imperial Censor and Madam Xia looked at each other.

"Mrs. Xia, why don't you accept the decree and thank me? This is the marriage granted by our General Lu in exchange for his military merits. It shows how much our General Lu cares about Miss Xia."

The Imperial Censor suddenly came to his senses.

He looked nervous and excited and winked at Madam Xia.

Madam Xia hurriedly took out a bag of silver from her bedroom and stuffed it into the hands of the eunuch who came to read the imperial edict.

"It's really troublesome for you to come here, father-in-law."

"No, no, this is all part of the job of a miscellaneous person." The eunuch waved his hands repeatedly.

"Sir, please keep it. When the wedding comes, you must come and have a drink." The Imperial Censor said politely.

"It's getting late, and I have to go back and report to the Emperor."

The Grand Censor personally escorted the eunuch who was to read the imperial edict to the gate of the mansion.

"Miss Xia is so lucky. Now that Concubine Shu is in the same position as Empress Fu in the palace, and General Lu has made great military achievements, you will feel relieved if you marry him."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great grace, and thank you, Eunuch, for your kind words."

The Imperial Censor walked in from outside with a worried look on his face.

"I really didn't expect that when you went to the mansion in person to mention this matter, General Lu was full of excuses. How come you went to ask the emperor for a marriage yourself?" Mrs. Lu said in surprise.

"I don't know, mother." Xia Siqi stared at the words on the imperial edict with blushing cheeks, reading it again and again.

"Siqi." The Imperial Censor frowned, "Tell your father the truth, did you do anything out of line with General Lu in private?"

Xia Siqi: ...

"Father." Xia Siqi looked at Madam Lu angrily: "Mother, look at father."

Madam Lu punched the Imperial Censor in anger, "How can you say that about your own daughter? Siqi is with me all day. Besides, even if Siqi really had something going on with General Lu, didn't the Emperor grant them the marriage?"

Xia Siqi: ...

She rolled her eyes speechlessly.

"In the past, when the General's Mansion was not so prosperous, we could not even marry into it. But now, the status of Concubine Shu is unmatched in the harem, and this Young Master Lu is the new number one scholar. Our Siqi is lucky."

There was a hint of pride in Mrs. Lu's tone of voice.
