Zhaoyan happily returned to her residence and told her men, "We will return to China immediately after the wedding, and we will pack our things in the next few days."

"Your Highness, why did I hear many servants in the palace discussing that the fifth prince was the one who was given the marriage by the emperor?" the guard said cautiously.

"How is it possible? Hearsays don't count. When I was talking to Ninth Prince Feng Qiting last night, the emperor said in front of us that he would grant us a marriage. She is a eloquent emperor, and what she said was not a joke. "Zhaoyan was already so happy that she couldn't let go of the raised corners of her mouth. The emperor personally said that he would grant them a marriage and there was no way he would regret it.

"The imperial decree has arrived!" the palace servant shouted loudly, and the group quickly arrived in front of Zhao Yan, "Her Royal Highness the Princess of Yin Zhao Kingdom listens to the decree."

According to heaven’s destiny, the emperor issued an edict:

Princess Zhaoyan, the daughter of the Yinzhao Kingdom, has outstanding appearance, extraordinary beauty, good conduct, and gentle temperament. Now the fifth prince has both good looks and both civil and military abilities. I hereby decree that the fifth prince will be betrothed to Princess Zhaoyan, hoping that the two countries will always be friends of Qin and Jin.

The wedding will be completed in three days, and preparations for the wedding will begin. It must be done solemnly to show the power of our dynasty.

……

"Fifth prince?" Before the imperial edict was read out, Zhao Yan stood up and shouted loudly, "Did you read it wrong? I want to marry the ninth prince, not the fifth prince."

The palace servant was stunned and then looked at the imperial edict carefully, "Princess Zhaoyan, that's right. Your Majesty wrote about the fifth prince. If you don't believe me, read it."

Zhao Yan grabbed the imperial edict and looked at it carefully. It was correct. It did say that it was the fifth prince, not the ninth prince. What was going on? Yesterday at Fengqiting, it was clear that he and the Ninth Prince were going to get married, so why did he become the Fifth Prince?

She went straight to the emperor's study room with the imperial edict, "Your Majesty, what is going on?" She threw the imperial edict in her hand onto the emperor's desk.

"What? You want to break off the engagement? When you and the fifth prince were talking at Fengqiting yesterday, didn't you say that he is suitable to manage the middle palace of your Yin Zhao Kingdom? I have the beauty of an adult and immediately promised to grant you a marriage?" The Emperor said no. He asked in disbelief, "Is the prince of Fengyu Kingdom so unbearable? Let you be so humiliated."

"That's not the case, Your Majesty. The person I was talking to at Fengqiting yesterday was the Ninth Prince, not the Fifth Prince. You made a mistake. You can change it back now." Princess Zhaoyan said eagerly, if Feng Yu Kingdom's It's still too late for the emperor to change.

The emperor's face darkened, "Your Highness Zhaoyan, are you saying that I don't even recognize my own children? The person who was at Fengqi Pavilion yesterday was clearly the fifth prince. In addition to me, the second emperor's husband, the second princess and the others were also present. , the emperor’s husband will not recognize his own son, the fifth prince. You said at that time that he was the only one worthy of the position of the main palace of Yin Zhao Kingdom, what, do you mean to say that you are making fun of my prince? "

"Your Majesty, I really made a mistake. I want to marry the ninth prince, not the fifth prince." Zhaoyan was anxious. The fifth prince was not bad, but she already had the ninth prince in her heart.

"Stop talking. The Ninth Prince is still in confinement and has not left his palace. You are ruining my son's reputation by saying this. The imperial edict of marriage has been issued and has been distributed to all states and counties across the country. "The fifth prince will marry Princess Zhaoyan, the daughter of the Yinzhao Kingdom, in three days. Go back and prepare." The emperor had a cold face, even if he was wrong, he could not change it. The emperor was a man of words, so how could he change his words?

Princess Zhaoyan was stunned. She did not expect that the emperor would be so stubborn. She looked at the emperor's expression and knew that there was no point in arguing any longer. She walked out of the imperial study room silently, feeling confused.

After returning to her residence, Princess Zhaoyan sat alone in the room, feeling depressed to the bottom. The current situation cannot be changed. She will get married to the fifth prince in three days. But she still couldn't accept this fact in her heart, because the person she loved was the Ninth Prince.

At this moment, the second princess suddenly came to her residence. Looking at Princess Zhaoyan's unhappy look, he already understood something about it. He walked forward and asked softly: "Princess Zhaoyan, what's wrong with you? Why are you so depressed? You will marry my fifth brother in three days, and I will be your second sister from now on. We should keep in touch."

Princess Zhaoyan raised her head and looked at the second princess, not knowing how to answer. But she was really not in a good mood right now and couldn't muster the energy to socialize.

"Second Princess, thank you for caring about me." Princess Zhaoyan cheered up, "I'm fine, I'm just a little nervous."

"It's normal to be nervous." The second princess said with a smile, "After all, this is a major event in your life. But don't worry, my fifth brother is a very good person, and you will definitely be very happy. Believe me, he is better than the Ninth Prince. It is more suitable to manage the middle palace. It has been almost ten years since the Nine Emperors left the palace. He does not understand the scheming methods in the palace at all. Unlike the fifth prince who has been in the palace since childhood, he has been exposed to the methods of governance in the palace since he was a child. He will definitely let him You have no worries in the harem."

"Yes, I know." Princess Zhaoyan nodded, but she still couldn't accept this fact in her heart, "Second princess, was it really the fifth prince who was in Fengqiting yesterday?"

"Princess Zhaoyan, of course, he is my fifth brother. We grew up together and can recognize him immediately even if his face is covered." The second princess looked into Princess Zhaoyan's eyes, "Your Highness, now the imperial edict has been issued to all states and counties. It may have changed. Princess, please prepare for the wedding in three days. My fifth brother is a suitable candidate for the palace, so you can rest assured to prepare for the wedding."

The second princess laughed coldly in her heart. She always thought that she really looked down on the ninth brother who grew up in the mountains. His little trick made it happen. Fortunately, his sister Lao Shiliu was still young. Otherwise, he would He is really difficult to deal with. He should be referred to a palace marriage as soon as possible.

It would be a big mistake to stay in the palace and give advice to Prince Bai.

Princess Zhaoyan was shocked. She lowered her head, was silent for a while, and then nodded gently, "Okay, if he can help me manage the harem, I will definitely be able to help you when you need it."

"As in-laws, naturally I am good to you, and you are good to me." The second princess said with a smile, "Love is the most beautiful thing in the world, but we were born in the royal family and cannot only consider our own feelings. ."

"You are right." Princess Zhaoyan raised her head, "I know what I should do."

"That's right." The second princess said with a smile, "I believe you and your fifth brother will be happy after your marriage."

"Thank you, Second Princess." Princess Zhaoyan raised her lips and looked at the Second Princess seriously, "We will be a family from now on."

"You're welcome." The second princess patted Princess Zhaoyan's hand gently, "We will be a family from now on. We can help each other with anything."

Three days later, the wedding of the fifth prince and Princess Zhaoyan was held as scheduled. Officials of rank five and above from the entire capital came to participate in this grand celebration.

However, at this time, another surprising thing happened. When the fifth prince and Princess Zhaoyan were worshiping, an assassin suddenly rushed out from the crowd and rushed towards the fifth prince with a sharp knife.
