Jiang Nian stood in the yard, still a little dazed.

In front of him stood the palace eunuch who was in charge of delivering the imperial edict, holding the imperial edict in a loud voice.

"The Emperor decrees: The daughter of the Jiang family is virtuous, kind-hearted, and talented. She is to be married to the Prince of Yan as his concubine. The officials are ordered to choose an auspicious date for the wedding. This is my decree!"

The eunuch's voice resounded throughout the front yard. Jiang Nian knelt down to receive the imperial edict, and finally came back to his senses from his previous shock. The King of Yan really asked for the imperial edict.

It’s only been a few days since we last talked about this, and you’re here already?

"Congratulations, Miss Jiang." The eunuch said respectfully.

"Good work."

Baozhu behind him quickly handed over a bag of silver, but the eunuch smiled and declined, saying that Miss Jiang would soon be the Prince of Yan's concubine, so he didn't dare to accept it.

The eunuch delivered the order and left, leaving the Jiang family dumbfounded.

Aunt Liu knew some things about Jiang Nian. In the past, there was Yan Qingsong, then there was Prince Jin, and after that there was General Xiao. But when did the eldest lady have any contact with His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan?

There was no joy on Lin's face, but instead she looked worried.

It is impossible for His Majesty to assign the granddaughter of the Lin family to his own son.

Everyone dispersed with excitement, and Jiang Nian followed Lin back to the house.

"Don't worry, Mom. I'll be fine."

"Did you know this before?"

Jiang Nian nodded, and Lin was helpless: "Last time you mentioned the matter of King Xuan, mother thought you were just talking casually, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"Mother, Prince Yan is the best choice right now."

It can not only stop King Jin's thoughts, but also get rid of Xiao Yinnan.

"But... Mother would rather you marry someone from an ordinary family. Although being a concubine sounds nice, it's still just a concubine after all. Besides, it's not easy to marry someone from the royal family."

Wouldn’t it be nice to marry into an ordinary family and live a stable life?

Jiang Nian had thought so in his previous life, but it was ultimately impossible to realize it.

When a woman gets married, she always seeks one thing: either love between husband and wife or power and money. If she lives her life over again, she will not expect love between husband and wife, and can only seek her own interests.

"Mother, she's the concubine of Prince Yan's Mansion. It's different from other places after all. Besides, there's no mess in Prince Yan's Mansion. I won't be wronged if I enter the mansion."

It is precisely because it is the royal palace that they are worried. If it were an ordinary family, if someone was wronged, their parents would still come to help and make the decision. But in the royal palace, let alone being wronged, even if someone died, no one would dare to say a word.

"Niannian, are you really willing to enter Prince Yan's Mansion? Is this truly your own will?"

"Mother, I did this all on my own accord. Prince Yan is better than Prince Jin and Xiao Yinan. He's a gentleman. Even if he gets tired of his daughter in the future, he won't treat me harshly."

Jiang Nian can still guarantee this. Although the King of Yan appears to be aloof and aloof, he is actually not as the outside world says.

Although I didn't say that I liked her explicitly, I had feelings for her in my heart, and that was enough.

After coming out of Lin’s courtyard, Jiang Nian opened the imperial edict and read it again and again. Could there be a good outcome in this life?

Just as she was thinking about it, a servant came running in: "Miss, someone is coming from Prince Yan's Mansion."

People from Prince Yan's Mansion came in carrying boxes and almost filled her yard.

"These were sent by my prince, saying they were betrothal gifts."

"bride price?"

"Exactly. My prince is already on his way."

what?

"His Highness said that since he wants to marry, he must come in person to propose."

Marry a wife? Isn't that the same as taking a concubine?

Not long after the people from Prince Yan's residence left, Concubine Liu came hurriedly: "My dear, His Royal Highness Prince Yan has come in person to propose marriage!"

"What about people?"

"He's in the front hall. He said... he wants to see the lady."

"Then go ahead and invite him, it would be nice to meet him."

Now that you are here, you can’t stop us from seeing each other.

When Lin heard that His Royal Highness Prince Yan was coming in person, she quickly dressed and went to meet the guest.

Jiang Nian's face was expressionless, but Hubo was happy: "Miss, I told you that His Highness likes you, otherwise why would he come here in person?"

"Maybe." This is not a good thing.

I don't know what was said in the front hall, but when Lin came out, she had a smile on her face. Aunt Liu led everyone to Qingfang Courtyard and quickly led them out.

Inviting him into the house, Jiang Nian asked, "Why are you here today, Your Highness?"

"You don't know?"

"I just didn't expect His Highness to come in person."

"Since you are proposing, you should be courteous and considerate. I am not a casual person."

Jiang Nian: ...

"But...Your Highness is only taking a concubine, so there's no need for you to come in person."

King Yan looked at her and asked seriously, "You don't like it? Don't you want me to come?"

"Of course not." Jiang Nian quickly explained, "It's just that... it doesn't make sense."

The King of Yan suddenly raised his lips and said, "It doesn't matter whether it suits you or not. As long as you like it every year, it's fine. The King of Japan will send the wedding dress to you, and you don't have to make it yourself."

"...Thank you, Your Highness."

Prince Yan sat in the room for quite a while before leaving. As soon as he left, the oppressive feeling in the room disappeared. Jiang Nian had a headache. This Prince Yan really didn't play by the rules.

As soon as the imperial edict from the palace was issued, everyone in the capital knew that she was going to be the concubine of Prince Yan. Even if she didn't go out, Jiang Nian could imagine how the outside world would ridicule her, and they simply thought that she was not worthy of Prince Yan.

However, someone from Princess Huaining's mansion sent gifts, and the Princess of Jin also asked someone to bring her a message, saying that the Prince of Jin was in a bad mood recently and it was inconvenient for her to leave the mansion, and she would come to congratulate her later.

Princess Anle happily asked her out for a meeting, and even the Duke of Anguo's Mansion sent news.

From this perspective, she is quite valued.

......

Since the imperial edict came, the mansion has been noticeably quiet. Prince Yan has sent many people to guard the mansion inside and outside. No disorderly people have come to the mansion in the past two days.

The Prince of Yan sent someone to deliver the wedding dress and head ornaments. All the family members came to see them, and were stunned when they were taken out. They were all bright red, which was the dress that could only be worn when marrying a wife.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan has always been kind to us. Even though he is a concubine, you can see the gifts he sent us and the rules he followed. They are all in accordance with the rules of a wife."

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is indeed thoughtful." Even Mrs. Lin was praising him.

Jiang Nian didn't know what bad things Prince Yan said to her mother when he proposed last time, but since then, Lin never objected again, and she seemed very satisfied every time she talked about Prince Yan.

Everyone hurried to help try on the wedding dress, and Aunt Liu couldn't stop praising it.

"You have a beautiful figure, and once you put on this wedding dress, you'll look like a fairy descending to earth."

Jiang Nian looked at herself in the mirror. The dress was indeed beautiful, but...how did he know her size? No one had even measured her.

The two of them had had some ambiguous behavior before, but it had never reached that level.

But looking at the things Prince Yan sent, I think he even prepared a dowry for her. Is he afraid that the Jiang family will be embarrassed when the time comes and won’t be able to provide the dowry?

Although he looks cold, he is actually very thorough in his work.

The family was peaceful for a few days, but that night, there was movement.
