FSC [QT] Chapter 122.4

“Excuse me, Eunuch.”

Ling Yaodong had a proud smile on his face, but he was very reluctant in his heart. He never thought that the chosen one would be Ah Wu. There was no place in the palace for her to stay.

Fortunately, the one chosen this time was the princess’ companion. The Third Princess had a transcendent status in the palace. She and Concubine Li Shu were both smart people and did not participate in the struggle between parties.

It was fortunate among misfortunes.

“Is it just one imperial edict?”

Ling Wei was still suffering from a high fever, and she had to hold on at this moment. When she saw that the eunuch had just one volume of imperial edict in his hand, she couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.

“Our family has to go to other mansions to read out the Holy Master’s will, so we won’t stay any longer.”

The eunuch didn’t care about Ling Wei’s offense. He gave a half salute to the Marquis of Changping and was about to leave.

“Excuse me, Eunuch.”

Ling Yaodong was alert and stuffed a bulging purse into the eunuch’s hand without leaving any trace.

“I wonder which house you will go to later.”

The princess could not have only one companion. If his daughter encountered an unruly and willful companion, she would be in trouble.

“The Minister of Revenue was overjoyed. His granddaughter, the Ninth Young Lady, was chosen as the Third Princess’s study companion.”

“The Minister’s youngest daughter was betrothed to the Seventh Prince, who will marry when he turns fifteen.”

“The niece of the commander of the Imperial Guard was betrothed to the eldest son of the Earl of Haicheng, and the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei was betrothed to…”

The eunuch who delivered the edict weighed the thickness and weight of the purse, and his smiling eyes narrowed into slits. The smile at this time was much more genuine than before.

This time, Emperor Qian’s move was not small.

Both the First Prince and the Third Prince were given a concubine. However, the position of the Third Prince’s principal wife was still reserved.

While the Fourth Prince, who was younger than the Third Prince, not only selected the principal wife, but he also was given a side concubine.

Not to mention the Seventh Prince, who was only twelve years old this year, the candidate for his principal wife had already been decided.

The Fifth Prince was the only one left alone, and the emperor didn’t show any sign of it. However, he had never been favored, so it was normal for him to be ignored.

In addition, Emperor Qian also granted marriages to many clan members, which solved the marriage problem of a wave of young talents in the capital.

After sending the eunuch away, Ling Yaodong hurried to the study room with his eldest son Ling Zihuai and Ah Wu, who were about to enter the palace.

Emperor Qian’s behavior was confusing. Ling Yaodong felt that maybe the Li Dynasty was about to change.

The Minister of Revenue, who was already wavering between the First Prince and the Third Prince, was forced to marry the Seventh Prince.

While Yan Zhou of Yan Zhongying’s faction got married to the Earl of Haicheng.

You should know that the wife of the Earl of Haicheng was the aunt of the Marquis of Chengyi Mansion whose property was confiscated.

Although the crime did not extend to married daughters, but after the incident at the Marquis of Chengyi Mansion, the married ladies in the mansion were either sent to temples to watch over the green lamps and yellow books or died of inexplicable illnesses.

The wife of the Earl of Haicheng was not implicated in the confiscation of the Marquis of Chengyi Mansion because she gave birth to four sons and three daughters for the Earl of Haicheng. Even so, the wife of the Earl of Haicheng was too embarrassed to appear in this circle for a long time.

The heir of the Earl of Haicheng is her biological son, and he is also the nephew of the tragically deceased Marquis of Chengyi. Now he was betrothed to the niece of the enemy who killed his uncle. This was probably not a marriage, but an enmity.

Ling Yaodong felt that he could no longer figure out the emperor.

In fact, not only was Ling Yaodong confused, but Yan Zhongying and others also could not sit still after the edicts were read out.

The several forces that had been fighting fiercely temporarily stopped.

They realized that in the Li Dynasty, the man who really had the final say was still the man sitting on the dragon throne.

Today’s arranged marriages were both advice and warnings.
