In the past, there were examples of marriages for the clan. According to the convention, His Majesty first selected the imperial concubine, and only those who were suitable among the remaining candidates would choose wives for the clan.

Whether this edict grants him a marriage is another matter.

Thinking of this, Qin Youran felt happy.

Qin Youran lifted her robe and knelt down on her knees. Mu Qing and others were also behind their master.

Luo Neishi looked at His Highness the King of Qin, with a hint of joy in his steady eyes. He unfolded his edict and read it loudly, "On the ninth day of September in the third year of Kangding, the emperor made the following announcement: My brother, the King of Qin, She is filial, benevolent, natural, and has good character. Today, Lu Tianyun, the daughter of Lu Jin, is ordered by the minister to be a beautiful woman, elegant and virtuous, with both virtue and talent. She is a good match. I have made her a good match, and Xu Lu Tianyun will be the concubine of the King of Qin. I will choose a date. The master will perform the wedding."

Qin Youran's heart felt a little chilled. It was actually a marriage gift, but the candidate for the marriage surprised him!

Qin Youran has heard about the rumors about His Majesty and Lu Tianyun, and also knows that His Majesty summoned Lu Tianyun to Xiangning Hall several times.

There were rumors in the palace that His Majesty liked Lu Tianyun, and His Majesty summoned Lu Tianyun several times, which also proved that he liked Lu Tianyun.

How could His Majesty give him the title of Princess Qin with his beloved? It shouldn't be.

Chamberlain Luo couldn't see His Highness King Qin's expression, and he could guess what His Highness King Qin was thinking at this moment, so he reminded: "His Royal Highness King Qin, it's time for you to accept the order."

Qin Youran raised his eyelids and looked at Waiter Luo, "This..."

Luo Nei's attendant Qin Youran saw in his eyes his unwillingness to accept the order, and his face suddenly turned cold. He said, "King Qin, do you want to resist the order?"

Qin Youran quickly kowtowed, "My lord, I don't dare."

In the Song Dynasty, resistance to imperial decrees generally resulted in the following results: removal from office, exile, execution, and house confiscation. In serious cases, the nine tribes may be executed.

Qin Youran knew that with the emperor's kind character, even if he did not accept the order, the emperor might not kill him, but he might not allow him to stay in Tokyo, and then everything he had done before would be in vain.

If he accepts the order, everything will become complicated and may even exceed his control.

If he doesn't accept the order, he may be expelled from Tokyo, or he may die. The risk is too great.

Qin Youran was free-spirited and free-spirited by nature and did not like to be restrained. In order to avenge his mother, and for the sake of those who followed him and other people in the Qin Palace, he finally accepted the order, "I accept the order, Zhao Yingyi, and thank you for your grace."

Qin Youran raised his hands, and Chamberlain Luo placed the hand in his hand. Qin Youran clenched the hand and stood up. Mu Qing and others also stood up.

Luo Nei Shi smiled and said: "I congratulate His Highness the King of Qin. Madam Lu is gentle and kind. She and His Highness the King of Qin are a God-given match."

Qin Youran faked a smile and said, "Thank you sir."

Qin Youran invited Chamberlain Luo to have tea in the tea room, but Chamberlain Luo declined. On the pretense that he had something to do in the palace and had to return late, he took the servants back to the palace.

As soon as Chamberlain Luo left, Qin Youran said to Guan Yu, "Go and find out what happened in the palace. Why did your Majesty give Lu Tianyun to this king?"

"Yes." Guan Yu took the order and went to do it.

Qin Youran rolled up the imperial edict, held it in his hand, and said to Mu Qing: "I have received your Majesty's decree, and the Lu Mansion should also have received your Majesty's decree. Your Majesty said before that he would grant marriage to the clan, you go and find out I want to know if other than this king, who else has received your majesty’s decree of marriage.”

"I'm going to inquire about it now," Mu Qing said.

As Qin Youran said, the Lu Mansion also received the decree of marriage. Shangshu Ling was very surprised about the marriage. After receiving the decree, he changed his court clothes and went to the palace to see the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother had long expected that Shangshu Ling would enter the palace, so she received Shangshu Ling in Cining Hall.

After the minister had paid his respects, he ignored the presence of palace officials and directly asked, "Sister, why did you marry my Yun'er to Zhao Yingyi without discussing it with me?"

The Queen Mother sent everyone out of the palace and ordered the minister: "Brother, I am here for Yin'er and to fulfill that promise."

The minister ordered: "Yun'er will not threaten Yin'er's status."

The Queen Mother walked towards Shangshu Ling, touched Shangshu Ling's right shoulder with one hand, and sighed softly: "Ah Jin, this is what I promised Jin Yin and the Luo family back then. I can't break my promise."

This promise cannot be broken, and the Queen Mother and Minister Shuling know it very well, especially the Queen Mother.

That year, not long after His Majesty ascended the throne, Tubo came to court to ask for the Princess of the Song Dynasty to be his concubine. At that time, the only princess in the palace who was of suitable age and ready to be married was her only daughter, Princess Xinyang. The eldest princess of Xinyang was her only daughter and the only princess of the Song Dynasty. Naturally, she and her Majesty did not want to leave Xinyang and marry a foreign country.

Tubo only said that it wanted to marry the princess of the Song Dynasty, but it did not say that it must marry a real princess. There were many princesses in the clan who were married off to foreign countries, and there were also daughters of important ministers who were named princesses and sent for marriage.

There are several girls of the right age in the clan. Except for the royal daughter of King Qinghe, the remaining ones are either too far away from the royal family, or they don't have the style of a princess and cannot be on the stage.

King Qinghe is a first-class prince and your majesty's direct uncle. It is most suitable for his daughter to be made a princess and marry to Tubo. King Qinghe is the legitimate daughter of Princess Yurong, so he is naturally unwilling to marry his daughter to Tubo.

King Qinghe has the Northern Territory Army in his hands, and His Majesty relies heavily on King Qinghe. Forcing King Qinghe to agree to marry Princess Yurong far away will break the heart of Prince Qinghe's palace.

Princess Xinyang was not allowed to marry, and Princess Yurong was not allowed to marry either, so she and His Majesty set their sights on the Lu family's legitimate daughter, Lu Pingting, the second daughter of Luo Jinyin, wife of Shangshuling Huaping.

She promised Mrs. Hua Ping that she would never shake Lu Yinli's position as queen and promised the Luo family countless glory and wealth. Only then did Mrs. Hua Ping tearfully agree to marry Princess Pingting.

The minister ordered: "Sister, you are afraid that Yun'er will threaten Yinli's status and do not allow her to stay in the palace. I can understand this. Why do you have to marry Yun'er to Zhao Yingyi? That Zhao Yingyi is disrespectful to the emperor's father and does not know kindness. You are a scoundrel. Before the death of the late emperor that year, he wanted to see the King of Qin and summoned him back to the capital to meet the emperor. However, the emperor ignored the emperor's will and delayed returning to the capital, causing the emperor to regret his death."

The Queen Mother said, "That was just a misunderstanding. Unfortunately, King Qin was injured and was unable to return to the capital to see the late Emperor for the last time."

The Minister Lingzhi promised the Queen Mother his beloved daughter to the King of Qin not only to keep her promise to the Luo family and his wife, but more importantly for His Majesty. His sister would not allow anyone to influence His Majesty, even if there was only a slight possibility. She will also reject this possibility.

Lu Tianyun is his illegitimate daughter. With her humble background, marrying the prince as his legitimate wife is the best outcome for her at the moment.

There are only a few princes without concubines, King Qi has more than a dozen concubines in his backyard, King Xuan has leg problems, and the Nine Kings have not been crowned kings and are still childish. In comparison, King Qin is the best choice.
