Teaming up with her mother to take revenge on the scumbags! The Crown Princess becomes the darling o

"After all these years, it's rare that you have someone you want. Since that's the case, then your father will grant your request and issue this decree. However, the imperial family values ​​having many children. If she cannot give birth to a son or daughter for you within two years, the autumn selection must be put back on the agenda. Do you understand?"

The prince clasped his hands in a fist salute but remained silent.

He hadn't thought that far ahead about having a son or daughter. He decided to trick He Lingyi into entering the Eastern Palace first, and then cultivate a good relationship with her. That was the best course of action.

With a stroke of his pen, the imperial decree bestowing the marriage was completed.

While other noble families were still inquiring about the reasons for the cancellation of the election, the imperial edict was personally delivered to the Marquis of Haibo's residence by Eunuch Xue, who served the emperor. When the edict was announced, apart from He Lingyi and Haijin, who already knew about the matter and were relatively calm, everyone else was taken aback.

"A marriage decree? Why is Eunuch Xue suddenly decreeing a marriage? Wasn't it said that the autumn general election would be canceled? What... what's going on?"

The Marquis of Haibo looked bewildered, and his wife, Lady Qin, standing beside him, also couldn't understand the meaning of this sudden imperial edict. So she glanced at He Lingyi, waiting for Eunuch Xue to explain.

"This servant is acting under imperial orders. Your Excellency and Madam, please listen to the decree first."

"Yes, yes, what Father-in-law says is true."

Then, the main hall of the Marquis of Haibo's mansion was filled with kneeling people. Immediately afterwards, Eunuch Xue began to read the imperial decree in a high-pitched voice. The decree praised He Lingyi for his noble character, dignified appearance and good conduct, and talent for supporting his husband. Therefore, he was specially granted a marriage to the Crown Prince, and the marriage was to take place on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month.

On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, there were only about three months left. Marquis Haibo received the imperial decree in a daze, while his wife, Lady Qin, quickly calculated how to make the most of each day to prepare everything.

Eunuch Xue was a man of good manners. When Marquis Haibo pulled him aside and stuffed a thick wad of silver notes into his hand, Xue chuckled and replied with a smile.

"Miss He is so lucky. This marriage was personally requested by the Crown Prince. The Crown Princess's status is so noble and glorious that many daughters would rather die than have it. So, Lord Marquis and Lady Marquis, you should get busy."

Upon hearing this, Haibo Hou and Qin Shi exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised.

The Crown Prince seemed calm and collected, always a man of few words. Why would he personally ask for a marriage decree? But upon further reflection, one couldn't help but think that he must be deeply in love to do such a thing. The more one thought about it, the more one felt that it was a match made in heaven.

"Yes, yes, Your Excellency is right. The Crown Prince and Miss He are a perfect match, a match made in heaven. We really should get busy."

Eunuch Xue glanced at everyone in the Marquis of Haibo's mansion. The eldest son had caught the Crown Prince's eye and was appointed as the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, taking the path of a civil official. The second son had previously served as the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guards in the Eastern Palace, taking the path of a military general. In addition, there was his niece, who was already engaged to the General of the State, and his goddaughter, Miss He, who was about to marry into the Eastern Palace. The family was truly destined for prosperity.

So he flicked his whisk and returned a respectful expression.

The Marquis of Haibo's mansion is about to be built.

"You're too kind, my lord. This is a blessing for you and your wife."

With a smile and a nod, after seeing off Eunuch Xue, Marquis Hai turned around and handed the imperial edict to He Lingyi, then gave instructions to his wife, Madam Qin.

"I never expected that the Crown Prince would personally propose this marriage. Lingyi is so lucky! Madam, please make preparations quickly, taking into account Wan'er's situation. Don't delay."

"Of course, this is the grand wedding of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, so we can't be careless at all. We can't just follow Wan'er's preparations. Luckily, Granny Nian is here. I'll go and ask how to handle it."

Madam Qin hadn't expected that she would be preparing for the marriages of her niece and goddaughter before even having the chance to arrange her own two sons' marriages. She was all smiles, clearly very pleased with this arranged marriage.

Standing next to her, Chi Guiwan excitedly grabbed He Lingyi's hand, her eyes filled with tears, and jokingly said...

"I must cherish the days I have now, calling you Lingyi, my little sister. Otherwise, after you and His Highness the Crown Prince get married, we'll all have to call you Crown Princess."

"Sister Chi teased me again, saying that I am different from others and that I should just call her Lingyi."

If possible, He Lingyi would love to acknowledge her mother right now, but she also knew that was impossible. So she just thought about it in her heart and then said to Madam Qin, the wife of the Marquis.

“Godmother, I’m sorry to trouble you with this matter. This is what I saved at Tianbao Bank. If you need anything, just take it from there. You must not refuse, otherwise my grandfather will blame me if he finds out.”

After speaking, He Lingyi handed over a token he carried with him.

That token was something only customers of Tianbao Money Shop could have. By holding this token and giving the shop assistant the right password, one could freely take anything from the shop. He Lingyi turned to tell the password to Madam Hou, who smiled when she heard it.

"You really have some clever ideas."

"Isn't this meant to keep people guessing?"

"Alright, I'll take the money from your treasury for whatever I need, but it also represents the goodwill of our Marquis's family. You have to accept whatever I add, understand?"

"If it's not excessive, Lingyi wouldn't dare disobey."

Qin tapped her forehead, then smiled and said.

"This year is truly auspicious. Wan'er is getting married, and so are you. If those two boys give me a hard time tomorrow, I'll be completely satisfied."

"It's only a matter of time. Hasn't my aunt received so many marriage invitations that her hands are sore? Just watch, my two cousins' marriages will definitely happen soon!"

"Okay, I appreciate your kind words."

The women chatted and laughed, all happy about the bestowed marriage, while the three members of the Haibo Marquis family, father and sons, analyzed the Crown Prince's move.

"Before going to the imperial mausoleum, His Highness the Crown Prince ran into Third Sister once. At the time, the questions he asked left both Qiao Er and me a little confused. Now it seems that the Crown Prince had already made up his mind not to hold the autumn election back then."

"What do you mean?"

"Do you remember when my cousin visited the Qiao family? The daughter of the second uncle of the Qiao family was also on the list for this autumn selection. After she came back, she probably told my third sister. What kind of person is she? Naturally, she is proud and unwilling to share the so-called favor of the crown prince with others. So she kept her distance from His Highness the Crown Prince. I guess that's when he was provoked, which is why there was this decree to bestow a marriage upon only the Crown Princess."

Haiyu's words made Haibohou understand, but Haijin did not express his opinion.

Knowing the real reason, he felt even more helpless at the congratulations from everyone. He looked at He Lingyi with some worry. She was chatting and laughing with her mother and cousin, seemingly satisfied with the marriage.

These people genuinely hoped that He Lingyi would be well; outside, however, things were truly turbulent.
