Chapter 533 The Empress Grants Marriage
Di Ran and others appeared at the door and saw that outside the mansion there was indeed just as the housekeeper had described, a huge wedding procession with many palace servants standing on both sides.
The red sedan chair is very conspicuous and it is impossible to see the groom sitting inside.
But no matter how you look at this scene, it seems that the attackers are not friendly.
Sure enough, when she saw Prince Beichen coming out, Zuo Sijian An Lingrong smiled and slowly stepped forward to bow.
"Meet King Beichen."
Di Ran held Ji Yunxie's hand and stood in the center, his eyes slightly lowered, looking down at him.
"What brings Zuo Sijian here?"
There was no smile in Di Ran's eyes, and he seemed to have no reaction to the sedan chair that appeared outside the mansion.
An Lingrong was also unable to grasp the other party's thoughts, so she just calmly replied, "Your Majesty, I am here to convey His Majesty's decree."
"Oh?"
Di Ran narrowed his black eyes slightly.
Ji Yunxie at the side held Di Ran's hand tightly, his fox eyes showing a barely perceptible dark color. His gaze swept across the bridal sedan, and a gloomy flash appeared in his dark eyes.
An Lingrong also read out the imperial edict under pressure: "In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Empress proclaims: Today, there is the Princess of Mingxuan County, who is gentle, demure, and dignified..."
"I hereby grant you the marriage to King Beichen as his concubine. I decree this!"
"…Prince, this is His Majesty's order for marriage. Please…accept the order."
After a lot of scattered words, the summary is that the empress arranged a marriage between Princess Mingxuan and Prince Beichen.
Moreover, he executed the bridegroom without authorization and brought the bridal sedan over, forcing King Beichen to accept it.
But is Di Ran so easy to surrender?
"roll!"
This cold word expresses the meaning vividly.
Obviously, she didn't agree with this marriage!
"Your Majesty, you are disobeying my order..."
An Lingrong was surprised and really didn't understand what King Beichen was thinking.
It is natural for a woman to have three husbands and four maids. Even the princesses in the palace have several concubines and maids, not to mention that she is a prince.
Even if His Majesty is not satisfied with the choice of concubine, the worst that can happen is that he will marry her and not favor her. Why would he risk the crime of disobeying the order and refuse? Could it be that the monarch is jealous and unwilling?
Thinking of this, An Lingrong couldn't help but look at the person beside her. She frowned at first glance, with surprise and amazement in her eyes.
Who is this?
Being able to stand with King Beichen, could he be King Beichen?
But... isn't it said that Prince Beichen is disfigured and disabled? The person in front of him is so handsome and stunning, he doesn't look like a disfigured person at all, and he is not disabled.
Yes, I heard that King Beichen found a magic medicine for Prince Beichen to cure his facial and leg diseases. The person in front of me is definitely Prince Beichen.
But compared to the other princesses and princes he had met, this Prince of Beichen was too gorgeous, without a trace of being dignified and virtuous, and seemed too flattering to the emperor.
Although she had some complaints, it was obvious that Prince Beichen liked this prince very much, and An Lingrong would not say anything bad about him at this time.
But Prince Beichen refused to marry a concubine, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
Mo Yan, who was standing by, seemed to notice the tense atmosphere and An Lingrong's embarrassment, and stepped forward with a smile.
"Left Supervisor, may I have a word with you?"
An Lingrong also recognized Mo Yan. She raised her eyes to look at the gloomy King Beichen, then followed Mo Yan to the side.
"Miss Mo Yan, what advice do you have?"
"I don't deserve your advice, but I hope you will accept this small token of my appreciation."
Mo Yan smiled and stuffed a gold ingot into her hand.
An Lingrong was slightly surprised, but she smiled slightly and did not refuse.
"Miss Mo Yan, feel free to speak frankly if you have anything to say. I will tell you everything I know."
Mo Yan glanced at the bridal sedan not far away and said with a smile, "Nothing much, it's just that I remember that the prince had rejected the Queen Mother's marriage proposal a few days ago. Why did His Majesty issue an order for marriage again this time?"
An Lingrong was stunned, hesitated for a while, and sighed, "Alas, this Princess Mingxuan, ever since the last time the prince disobeyed the order and refused the marriage, she was hit hard. She cried all day long, became thinner and thinner, and finally fell ill."
"…The Queen Mother was distressed and anxious as she saw that the illness was not getting better. In order to help Princess Mingxuan, she asked His Majesty to issue an imperial decree to grant the marriage."
"The Queen Mother was afraid that the prince would refuse the marriage again, so she made the decision first and asked me to leave the palace with your Majesty's imperial decree..."
He even defended the empress: "Your Majesty originally did not want to issue this decree, but due to filial piety, he had to..."
Mo Yan secretly complained in his heart: Do you really think she is a fool?
Would the empress not want to?
It seems that she is eager to cause trouble for her master.
