Xiao Ling remained silent for a long time before saying, "Let me consider it."
"Give me your answer before the morning court tomorrow! You should rest well these next few days. Oh! By the way, should we go and visit the Xiao family?"
The Xiao family?
"No need, I have already been expelled from the Xiao family's genealogy."
"Very well! I like that you've settled all past grievances cleanly."
This is a hint, isn't it?
Xiao Ling's lips twitched, and he said coldly, "I, Xiao, take my leave!"
Two palace maids came down and led Xiao Ling to rest.
Fifteen minutes later.
A palace maid brought a letter with the words "I am willing" written in large characters on it.
Linghu Lan breathed a sigh of relief.
The female lead.
Here's a surprise for you, would you like it?
The next day.
Attending court.
Hearing Linghu Lan announce: A marriage alliance.
The ministers were dumbfounded.
Who rejected the marriage proposal yesterday, and then suddenly announced it today?
It wasn't just about a marriage alliance; they even arranged for the women to be married.
Pingnan Emperor!
Who is this?
"Your Majesty the Regent, may I ask which prince this Pingnan Emperor is? This old minister has never heard of him before," a minister asked directly.
"This is my nephew, whom I just recognized yesterday."
"I wonder which family's young master he is?"
"Xiao Ling of the Xiao family!"
ah!
The ministers were astonished.
Although not everyone has met Xiao Ling, they have heard of him before; he is Jiang Xinwei's strategist.
When Jiang Xinwei plotted a rebellion, it was only through Xiao Ling's advice and planning that she was able to escape from the capital all the way to Yujiang, and finally to the Wushui Kingdom.
"I object! Xiao Ling is a traitorous minister; how can she be allowed to marry into the Wushui Kingdom in place of my Prince Yu?"
"Exactly. Everyone in the world knows that he is Jiang Xinwei's strategist. If he goes there, I'm afraid he will be exposed sooner or later, ruining the prestige of our Great Yu Kingdom."
"I also oppose this matter."
"I object!"
Linghu Lan said indifferently, "Then why don't you pick one of your eligible descendants and send him/her there?"
"puff……"
The ministers nearly coughed up blood. How could the dignified Regent utter such words?
Are their children not noble, or are they just grass?
The ministers fell silent.
For a moment, no one dared to speak, fearing that they would be the first to speak out and get hit by the Regent's crooked-handled gun, which would be a great loss.
"Since no one speaks, then this matter is settled. All of you ministers must not mention it again. You must treat the Pingnan Imperial Minister as a true Imperial Minister. The Minister of Rites will follow up on the matter of the bride's upcoming marriage!"
The ministers: "..."
That's it?
It would have been better not to have a marriage alliance at all.
After the court session ended, everyone was still in a daze, full of excitement and unease. What a glorious era for the Great Yu Kingdom!
Everyone felt even more frustrated than yesterday.
Not long after.
The entire kingdom of Wushui knew that Yu Kingdom was going to marry a prince to them. This was a symbol of good relations between the two countries and also an honor for Wushui Kingdom.
The king of Wushui Kingdom soon sent a wedding procession to Yu Kingdom.
Xiao Ling has been working hard to adapt to his new identity and learn the many etiquette and rules of the palace these days.
One day...
The envoy from the Kingdom of Wushui has arrived.
Xiao Ling is getting married.
The day I left.
Linghu Lan and Jiang Wujiang saw him off.
Xiao Ling solemnly bowed to Linghu Lan. During these days together, he often wondered if he would have ended up in this situation if he hadn't met Jiang Xinwei.
The answer is no!
He would stay and live a peaceful life with his few acres of land until he died, or he would become a monk and leave this world.
Linghu Lan nodded.
Not everyone has the opportunity to seek revenge.
