Jiang Jiu took the imperial edict granting the marriage, read it again and again, and still couldn't swallow this anger.

If she hadn't been afraid that the original owner's father would get angry and kill her in one breath, she wouldn't even have accepted the imperial edict.

Now that we have accepted it, if we don’t comply, our whole family will be beheaded.

The only solution now is to persuade the emperor to revoke his decision and not grant the marriage.

Wouldn't it be nice for each of you to find someone you like and marry?

Why does she have to force the marriage? Besides, she has never even seen what the emperor looks like.

In the room, the young Yao Song was eating, looking at his sister with a reluctant look on his face, and pouting.

"Sister, you used to like Prince Qi the most. You'd sneak out every day just to see him, and you even said he was the most handsome man in Daning..."

Jiang Jiu snorted coldly: "He is unlucky in marriage... Do you want your sister to die from this unlucky fate..."

Yao Song: “…”

When he said nothing.

Jiang Jiu's eyes rolled: "Brother, do you think I can go to the palace and return the imperial edict to the emperor?"

Yao Song's eyes widened as he was eating.

"Sister, the Emperor's words are his bond. You want him to retract his decree. Do you think your life is too long, or do you think our family is not miserable enough..."

"Besides, there are still three years left. Why are you in such a hurry? After three years, the Emperor might not even remember who you are."

Jiang Jiu thought about it carefully and agreed: "Okay, wait a little longer. If there is a chance in the future, it will not be too late to return the imperial edict to him."

Unexpectedly, just a few days later, Jiang Jiu received an order from the emperor to enter the palace to learn etiquette.

It turned out that everyone knew that the original owner was willful and capricious, and that he didn't follow many rules as he came from a military family.

Therefore, the Ministry of Rites and Qin Yuan decided to let the original owner enter the palace to study.

There are still three years to learn etiquette, rules, and how to be a queen.

A group of people were carefully selected to teach her.

Jiang Jiu was furious when she saw the person who came to pick her up and take her to the palace.

"If I enter the palace, will I lose my freedom? My father is still lying in bed, and I have to serve him."

The palace maid said kindly, "Princess, His Majesty has sent a doctor to personally serve the Duke, so you can rest assured."

Jiang Jiu saw the former doctor from Prince Qi's mansion behind the group of people, waiting with something in his hand.

"And my younger brother, he also needs teaching..."

The nanny laughed again: "The prince is young, he can enter the Imperial College, take a rest every five days, and can go to the palace to visit the princess at any time."

There is no room for negotiation on this matter. The emperor has already arranged all the logistics.

Jiang Jiu made another excuse: "I still have to observe mourning for my mother, grandfather and grandmother..."

The nanny laughed again. "Of course, the princess is in mourning, wearing plain clothes and eating vegetarian food. The palace has issued orders, and someone has specially prepared it for the princess. The princess can observe mourning and learn the rules at the same time."

"That's really thoughtful and careful. Does that mean I have to enter the palace?" Jiang Jiu was helpless.

The nannies and eunuchs in charge of the palace all laughed.

Jiang Jiu felt scared when he saw their smiles.

That's fine. After entering the palace, she could make the emperor hate her and divorce her on his own initiative, and then the marriage would be called off.

Jiang Jiu wanted to pack her things, but when she turned around, she found that her maid Taohua had already packed her things.

"Taohua, you, you actually betrayed me..."

Taohua was also helpless: "Princess, you will enter the palace sooner or later anyway, what difference does it make if you enter a day earlier or later."

Jiang Jiu said goodbye to the original owner's father and brother, and took the palace carriage to enter the palace.

After getting on the carriage, Jiang Jiu stuffed a silver ingot into the nanny's hand.

The nanny was about to return it to her, but her hand paused and she put it back into her sleeve pocket.

"My Lady, if you have any questions, I will tell you everything I know."

Jiang Jiu also imitated them, smiling with both his lips and his eyes.

"Madam, what's your name?"

"My surname is Qian..."

Jiang Jiu was surprised: "What a nice surname, Aunt Qian, hello, hello, thank you for your hard work."

Nanny Qian glanced up and down at Jiang Jiu, and a flash of surprise passed through her eyes.

"It's all for your majesty, it's not hard."

Jiang Jiu sighed: "I'm going to the palace to learn the rules. Do I have time to rest?"

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Nanny Qian couldn't help but think of someone.

When she was a child, she had the same expression when she didn't want to get up early to go to school, but her will was much stronger than hers.

"Every five days you have a rest day, and on your rest day, the princess can leave the palace and go home to visit the Duke."

Not bad, not bad, you can still take a rest.

Although the rest time is short, it is better than nothing.

A little better than 996, a little worse than 592.

Jiang Jiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she thought of the most important thing.

"Then I am learning the rules in the palace. Ultimately, I am learning for His Majesty. Do I get a monthly salary?"

As soon as she said this, the maid Taohua beside her turned pale.

"My Lord, this is not something you should ask."

Jiang Jiu was puzzled: "Why can't I ask? I'm the queen now, can't I even know how much silver I have?"

As she said this, she looked at Nanny Qian in a flattering manner and stuffed another ingot of silver into her hand.

Nanny Qian looked at Jiang Jiu's cunning cat-like expression and thought of her again.

The two of them look so similar in that they are obsessed with money.

"Ever since His Majesty issued the imperial decree, the princess has been paid according to the empress's share every year."

Jiang Jiu was very happy. Being a queen was not bad, and she could get money.

"Can I ask how much it is? What else is there besides the monthly salary?"

The maid Taohua's face wrinkled up with shame.

Which noble lady is always thinking about money? She looks like she has never seen the world and is full of the smell of money. Is she still a lady of her family?

Nanny Qian had seen people who loved money more and were more calculating than her, so she was naturally not surprised.

"Yes, there are clothes and jewelry for all four seasons, all prepared for the Empress. You can ask the palace maids to make whatever jewelry you want. There will be many rewards during the New Year and other festivals, but don't be too extravagant."

Jiang Jiu was satisfied now. He rubbed his hands and laughed secretly.

"Okay, for this benefit, let's go to the palace."

At least she could make some money before the emperor agreed to cancel the engagement.

The ancient palace was very majestic, but it was still inferior to the palaces Jiang Jiu had seen.

I glanced at the palaces around me and felt that they were very familiar.

After walking with Nanny Qian for a long time, the palace was empty.

"Madame Qian, why is there no one in the palace?"

Nanny Qian led the way. The Queen's palace was still under renovation. It would be completed within three years and the Queen would be able to move in.

"Your Majesty, the harem is empty. There are few palace maids and eunuchs. Apart from the patrolling imperial guards, there are not many people."

Jiang Jiu clicked his tongue. This emperor was indeed unlucky with his wives. There wasn't a single woman left in his harem.

Oh, how pitiful.

"I will first take the princess to meet the emperor, and then arrange for her accommodation. The princess's ceremony will begin in three days. I will provide the specific schedule later."

I'm about to meet the emperor.

Jiang Jiu was really curious about this emperor who was unlucky in marriage.

The group came to the emperor's study. After Nanny Qian finished her report, Jiang Jiu saw a very handsome eunuch coming out shortly afterwards.

"Princess Ronghua is invited to enter the palace."

Jiang Jiu stared at the eunuch in surprise and took a breath.

"Wow, are all the eunuchs around the emperor so good-looking?"

The emperor must be pretty good looking...

Jiang Jiu couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation for the emperor he was about to meet.
