From an old woman back to a young girl, she vowed never to marry into a marquisate

Tang Jiang's words came to an abrupt end. Everyone immediately looked towards the door and saw a carriage parked at the door. A eunuch was walking towards them with a few followers, holding a yellow scroll in one hand.

After seeing who was coming, Tang Jiang's eyes almost popped out.

It’s Li Bo!

Omg.

Could it be that the results of the imperial examination have been announced?

Tang Jiang was so shocked that his body stiffened. He was a fifth-rank official, and it was rare for an imperial edict to come to him in person. This was the first time this had happened.

Tang Jiang was so frightened that his legs were shaking.

He began to regret that he should not have been so angry just now and let the Marquis of Yongning go away empty-handed.

Even if it was the same situation as Zhou Ziyue and Tang Yue'er, he should have insisted on agreeing to marry Tang Wanru to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion.

In this way, even if the emperor is charged with a crime, the old marquis will still speak for him.

Alas, it was all because he was confused and couldn't see the situation clearly that he ended up in this situation!

Thinking of this, Tang Jiang regretted so much that he wanted to bite off his tongue.

"Master, kneel down." The voice of the housekeeper Zhang Bai suddenly came. Tang Jiang looked down and saw that Li Bo had come close to him. Everyone in the room knelt down, and he was the only one standing.

Tang Jiang knelt down with a thump and said tremblingly, "I accept your order."

Seeing his expression, Li Bo looked at him with disdain before reciting: "The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, declares that Tang Wanru, the legitimate daughter of the Tang family, is skillful and generous, gentle and honest, and has outstanding character and appearance. I am very pleased to hear this. She and Bai Yanli, the son of the Bai family, are a perfect match made in heaven. In order to make the beauty of the beautiful woman come true, Tang Wanru, the legitimate daughter of the Tang family, is betrothed to Bai Yanli. This is decreed!"

what?

After Li Bo finished reading the imperial edict, everyone in the front hall was so shocked that their jaws dropped. Tang Jiang only felt his brain go blank with a buzzing sound.

Marriage?

The emperor actually granted marriage to Wanru and Bai Yanli?

How is this going?

Tang Wanru was also startled. But she remained calm, and quickly recalled what was going on.

The last time she saw the emperor was at the Lu Ming Banquet in Yunxiang Tower.

She was sitting together with Bai Yanli at that time.

She knew that the emperor had spoken for Bai Yanli at that time. Judging from the situation that day, Emperor Zhou should like him very much.

But can you grant me marriage just because I like you?

will not!

That means Bai Yanli and the emperor must have had some kind of relationship that she didn't know about.

Thinking of this, Tang Wanru suddenly turned around and looked at Bai Yanli. He also raised his dark eyes and looked at her.

The moment their eyes met, Bai Yanli's long eyebrows raised leisurely.

As if to say.

Didn’t you say that whether I can marry you depends on my ability?

Then let’s take a look now!

Those eyes were full of complacency.

In fact, Bai Yanli had planned this game as early as when he was in Longquan Temple. At that time, the emperor investigated the reason why he went to Longquan Temple, and the news he got was that it was for Tang Wanru. Emperor Zhou knew from that time that Bai Yanli might be pursuing this woman. After that, he publicly proposed to Tang Wanru, and Yunxianglou deliberately sat with Tang Wanru, which implicitly showed Emperor Zhou that he liked Tang Wanru and was determined to win her.

After the events at Longquan Temple and Yunxiang Tower, Emperor Zhou wanted Bai Yanli to enter the palace to help him even more. If he wanted him to enter the palace, he would have to please him and give Bai Yanli what he wanted.

And Tang Wanru is exactly what he wants most.

Therefore, Emperor Zhou granted the marriage and catered to Bai Yanli's wishes so that Bai Yanli could no longer refuse to enter the palace.

Little did he know that all this was part of Bai Yanli's plan from the very beginning.

Tang Wanru is what he wants.

He also wants to enter the palace.

What’s more, we should ask for it openly and honestly.

Seeing how proud he was of her, Tang Wanru was not angry, but couldn't help laughing.

Okay.

The second son of the Bai family was desperately trying to prove to her how capable he was. So she admitted that he was indeed capable.

Really awesome.

Make her look at you with new eyes.

Thinking of this, Tang Wanru smiled and nodded to him.

Bai Yanli originally thought that she would be angry about his plan, but unexpectedly, she actually laughed.

That smile made Bai Yanli's face flushed. He couldn't help but lower his head. He glanced and saw Bai Ge was also looking at him.

Bai Ge knew that he was preparing to return to the palace recently.

But he didn't know how far it had progressed. Now he saw that the emperor had granted him a marriage.

He didn't understand how he played chess?

Wouldn't it go astray?

Lin Yunrou was also confused, and her gaze shifted from Bai Yanli to Tang Wanru.

Tang Wanru seemed to know nothing as well.

I sighed in my heart that it was not good.

Her son-in-law...ah no, this Bai Yanli is an extremely shrewd man, I'm afraid Wanru has also fallen into his plan.

Seeing Tang Jiang kneeling there motionless after hearing this, Li Bo took two steps forward and raised the imperial edict above his head and said, "Master Tang, will you accept it?"

Tang Jiang finally reacted and immediately raised his hand to take the imperial edict: "I accept the order and thank you for your grace!" Then he kowtowed.

After he kowtowed, Li Bo stood in front of him and did not leave. Instead, he put his hands in his sleeves and said, "Master Tang, your daughter is very lucky."

Tang Jiang was stunned when he heard this. What good fortune could there be in marrying into a merchant family?

But he didn't show it on his face, Tang Jiang lowered his head and replied: "Thanks to Eunuch Li."

"Ha." Li Bo sneered and said, "It's a good thing for the Tang family to marry off their daughter, so let's start preparing as soon as possible and choose a good date to get married."

"Yes, thank you, father-in-law." Tang Jiang said.

Li Bo didn't say anything else. He glanced around the room again, then turned around and left with his men.

Tang Jiang felt all the tense nerves in his body relax, and he sat down with his body softened.

Come on.

The emperor has granted the marriage, so there is no need to think about marrying Tang Wanru to the Yongning Marquis’ Mansion.

Hey.

Tang Jiang just felt pity in his heart.

Dark night, Qingyu Courtyard.

Liu went back to the outer courtyard outside the capital today for some business. As soon as she came back and heard the news, she went straight to Tang Yue'er.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard a crying sound coming from inside.

Liu pushed open the door and saw that it was dark inside and no lights were on. After searching for a long time, she finally saw Tang Yueer sitting in the corner of the bed crying.

"Yuer." Liu called out with concern.

Tang Yue'er seemed not to hear it and continued to sit there motionless.

"Yuer?" Liu came forward. Tang Yueer couldn't help crying out, "Mother!" and then she threw herself into Liu's arms.

Lighted the lamp.

Liu sat next to Tang Yue'er. Tang Yue'er calmed down, but her voice was still hoarse: "Mom, I'm really done this time."

Liu also heard about what happened in the Tang Mansion today. There were too many people present at the time, and there were also several noble ladies from the capital, so the news could not be stopped at all.

"Yuer, you are too anxious." Liu told her not to be anxious at the time, otherwise it would be counterproductive. Unexpectedly, she would end up like this.

"Mom, what should I do?" Tang Yue'er covered her face and cried, "My relationship with Prince Zhou has been made public."

"In this case, if the Marquis' Mansion is convicted, will I be implicated? Will I die?" Tang Yue'er became very pessimistic when she thought of the consequences.
