Long Jingchen turned around and helped Yun Lan up: "General Yun, please get up. There are no outsiders here, so there's no need to be so formal."
Yunlan stood up and looked at the Emperor, asking, "Is Your Majesty trying to solve the Linglong Chess Game?"
Long Jingchen glanced at his chessboard and nodded: "General, do you know how to solve this puzzle?"
Yunlan chuckled and shook his head: "I'm just a roughneck, how would I know anything about this?"
Long Jingchen put down the chess piece in his hand and casually asked, "I wonder what brings you here to see me, General?"
The elderly couple blushed and said somewhat awkwardly, "This old minister has come today actually for the sake of my daughter."
"Sister Siqing?" Long Jingchen asked in return.
Yunlan clasped her hands in a fist and said, "Your Majesty's address of 'sister' is too much for this old minister. How could I possibly be worthy of Your Majesty's title of 'sister'?"
Long Jingchen smiled and helped him up as he bent over: "General, you are too kind. You have risked your life for my Dongchen Kingdom, and Siqing has grown up with me since childhood. How can you not be worthy of being called my sister?"
Yunlan stood up and said, "Your Majesty is too kind to this old minister. Protecting our country is the duty of every man."
Long Jingchen smiled, picked up a chess piece from the table, and asked softly, "General, what brings you here regarding Sister Siqing?"
Yun Lan felt awkward. He looked at Long Jingchen and asked shyly, "Your Majesty, I wonder if the Eighth Prince has a woman he admires?"
As soon as he said that, Long Jingchen understood what he meant.
He immediately laughed and shook his head: "I understand, Sister Siqing has taken a fancy to our Eighth Prince."
Yunlan nodded: "This old minister is too presumptuous to presume upon this honor, but this old minister only has one daughter, Siqing..."
“Hey!” Long Jingchen raised his hand to interrupt him: “General, you are being too polite. Siqing and the Eighth Prince have grown up together since childhood, so it is only natural that they have feelings for each other. Moreover, I have always wanted to arrange a marriage for the Eighth Prince, and I think only Siqing is worthy of our Eighth Prince.”
Yunlan smiled and said, "Your Majesty is too kind to my daughter."
Long Jingchen was already annoyed by Long Jingyu's covetousness towards Sang Jiang. Now that Yun Siqing had come along, he couldn't be more excited that Yun Siqing would take a liking to him, so that he wouldn't bother his little Jiang Jiang anymore.
Thinking about this, she felt a surge of secret pleasure.
He looked at Yunlan and said, "How about this, I'll first sound out the Eighth Prince's opinion."
Upon hearing this, Yunlan immediately knelt down to express her gratitude: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty."
"General, you're too kind."
Long Jingchen felt a surge of secret pleasure after Yun Lan immediately responded.
He never expected that Yun Siqing would appear.
He looked at Yang Qi and said, "Grind the inkstone, are you really going to draft an imperial edict?"
Yang Qi felt a jolt in his heart upon hearing his words.
Is the emperor planning to bestow a marriage directly?
As he ground the ink, he pondered how to dissuade him.
He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the words on the imperial edict.
Thank goodness...
He really couldn't imagine what it would be like if the Emperor actually dared to bestow a marriage upon Long Jingyu directly...
After Long Jingchen finished writing, he stamped the imperial edict and then rolled it up and handed it to Yang Qi with satisfaction.
"Go and make the trip." His voice was much cheerfuler than usual, which showed that he was in a very good mood at the moment.
Yang Qi nodded upon receiving the imperial edict: "This servant will go immediately."
General's Mansion.
Yang Qi arrived almost immediately after Yun Lan.
Yunlan looked at Yang Qi strangely: "What's going on, Lord Yang?"
Yang Qi smiled and said, "General, don't be afraid. This is good news for Miss Yun. General, please go and call Miss Yun to receive the imperial decree."
