The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Ling Rong

So, after much deliberation and consideration, I've decided to choose a good day. After all, this is a major event in your life, so we must not act rashly and must celebrate it properly."

Hearing the emperor's words, Prince Guo quickly knelt down to express his gratitude: "Yes, I would like to thank you, my brother."

The emperor smiled and nodded, then said, "Old Seventeen, you can go back now and start preparing for the relevant matters."

Prince Guo kowtowed again and responded respectfully, "Brother Your Majesty, I will go back and prepare it now." After that, he slowly stood up, took a few steps back, and then turned and left.

The Emperor actually ordered him to marry Fu Jin. How could he not know the deep meaning behind this? Obviously, the Emperor was suspicious of him and could not fully trust him!

However, as a subject, he could not disobey the emperor's order. Even if he was extremely reluctant, he knew he had no choice. No matter who the emperor designated as his wife, he could only obey the order and marry her obediently.

At this moment, Ah Jin saw his own prince slowly returning from afar. An ecstatic smile immediately blossomed on his face. He couldn't wait to greet him and asked, "Prince, you are finally back! I have been waiting for you here. The emperor suddenly summoned you to the palace for an audience. What is the matter?"

Prince Guo replied calmly, "Ah Jin, it won't be long before two concubines will marry into our family. So from now on, you must make good preparations."

As Prince Guo spoke, he turned around and walked towards his room, leaving A Jin standing there in a daze.

"Yunli!" Concubine Shu looked at her beloved son with a worried look on her face, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "I have learned that the emperor is going to choose a wife for you. Whenever I think of this, my heart feels as if it is being gnawed by millions of ants." She raised her head slightly and sighed softly.

"Mother, there's no need to worry. Just relax. The Emperor has already chosen Meng Jingxian from the Duke of Pei's Mansion and Zhen Yuxuan from the Zhen Mansion. I will follow your orders and choose an auspicious date to marry them into the mansion, so that your brother can rest assured."

The man who was speaking had a handsome face, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. His gorgeous clothes made his temperament even more extraordinary. It was Prince Guo.

"As children of the royal family, we have never been able to decide on our own about matters of marriage! My child, this is really hard for you." Concubine Shu looked at the sensible Prince Guo in front of her with a distressed look on her face.

Prince Guo raised his head and met Concubine Shu's gaze with a firm look. "Mother, please don't say that. I don't feel any hardship. As long as you are safe and healthy, it doesn't matter if I marry two women I don't like. After all, my brother is suspicious by nature, and there is no one he can rely on in the court. After I get married, I will probably be sent to guard Yanming Pass again. So, mother, you must take good care of yourself."

Speaking of this, Prince Guo felt helpless.

Tears welled up in Concubine Shu's eyes as she nodded, "Good boy, Mother understands. No matter what, you must be careful out there and take good care of yourself."

Prince Guo smiled and replied, "Don't worry, mother. My son has grown up and will protect himself. But you should be more careful in everything and don't trust others' words. Also, make sure to rest well and take care of your health."

After saying these words, the mother and son smiled at each other, their concern and care for each other being self-evident.

Inside the Duke of Pei's mansion, the maid Shuyue was busy packing things for Meng Jingxian.

"Miss, you are about to marry Prince Guo. Your wish has finally come true. Shu Yue is also very happy for you."

"Silly girl, why do you look to me like you're happier than me?" Meng Jingxian asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"My lady, you have been in love with Prince Guo for many years. Ever since you met him on our master's fiftieth birthday, you've fallen in love with him at first sight. Later, you even vowed to marry no one but Prince Guo. I saw it all, and it only made me feel even more sorry for you. Now that you can finally marry Prince Guo, I'm naturally happy for you."

"Now my wish has come true, but I also know that the prince doesn't like me. And the second lady of the Zhen family, I heard that she was familiar with the prince when she was in the palace. I don't know what it will be like if she marries him." Meng Jingxian was a little worried.

"Don't worry, young lady. The master and the mistress will definitely not let you suffer any grievances after marrying there. But the second young lady of the Zhen family is also a concubine. She wants to be on equal footing with you. I feel it's not worth it for you."

While the two were talking, the Duke's wife came to see Meng Jingxian.

"Jingxian, the Emperor has already issued an edict that you will marry into Prince Guo's mansion in three days. Mother really can't bear to let you go."

"You've been weak since childhood, so you need to be taken care of carefully. You must not overwork yourself. Mother has already discussed with your father that after you get married, the second daughter of the Zhen family will be in charge of the household. You will have some free time and be able to rest well."

"Mother, don't worry about your daughter. Thank you, mother and father, for your thoughtful consideration of me. I won't be able to be with you all the time in the future, so please take care of your health." As she spoke, Meng Jingxian could hardly hide her sadness.

"Jingxian, this is a happy event, and you should be happy. There are still many things to do in the mansion, and mother has to go and take a look. There must be no mistakes. Shuyue, you take good care of the young lady." The Duke's wife did not forget to instruct the maid before leaving.

Inside the Zhen Mansion, everyone was also busy preparing for the wedding three days later.

"Yuyun, you will be married into Prince Guo's mansion in three days. Prince Guo is a noble man and has done favors for our Zhen family. He will definitely treat you well." Zhen Yuandao was talking to Yuyun, and he was a little reluctant at this time.

"Master, this is a good thing. My daughter will eventually get married when she grows up. Yuxuan has feelings for Prince Guo, and now her wish has been fulfilled. Although she is only a concubine, the young lady from the Duke's Mansion is from a prominent family, and I don't think she will marry Yuxuan." Madam Zhen said again.

"The emperor has issued an edict. Miss Meng is weak, so after she enters the palace, you will be in charge of the affairs of the palace. You have always done these things well, so you should be more dedicated and take care of the affairs of the harem for the prince." Zhen Yuandao instructed.

Zhen Yuandao thought for a moment, then turned to Madam Zhen and said, "I'll have to trouble you to take care of Yuxuan's wedding. I'm relieved that you're taking care of it yourself!"

Madam Zhen nodded slightly and replied softly, "Master, you are too kind. This is all within my responsibility. Besides, Yuxuan has been well-behaved and sensible since she was little. Now that she is going to marry, I naturally have to make all the arrangements properly and cannot treat her unfairly."

Madam Zhen paused for a moment before continuing, "As for Yu-hsuan's dowry, I will meticulously prepare it so our daughter can marry off with honor. Furthermore, although Huan'er is in the palace, she's deeply concerned about Yu-hsuan and has sent word that a gift has been prepared for her. I will not allow Yu-hsuan's wedding to be inferior to that of the Duke of Pei's mansion, no matter what."

Hearing this, Zhen Yuandao could not help but nod repeatedly to express his approval, and thanked Madam Zhen again: "Thank you for your care and consideration. With you here, everything at home can be in order."
