Chapter 101 The Emperor Grants Marriage
Imperial edict?
Marquis Yong'an frowned and thought for a moment.
Could it be that he was reinstated to his post?
Thinking of this, he was so excited that he took a step forward and was about to leave. Seeing Su Rui, he instructed the housekeeper, "Take someone to pack the young lady's luggage immediately and leave the house and leave the city immediately."
After giving the instructions, Marquis Yong'an couldn't wait to receive the imperial edict.
The housekeeper hurriedly pulled him back, and meeting his questioning gaze, he said with embarrassment, "My Lord, the imperial edict... that imperial edict is for the eldest lady."
To Su Rui?
Marquis Yong'an stopped in surprise, turned back to look at Su Rui, and had a bad premonition in his heart.
Could it be that the emperor ordered her to be strangled?
But this should be a secret order. He waited for ten days but saw no movement, so he thought the emperor was too lazy to take care of her and left it to him to deal with.
But now he has issued an imperial decree. Could it be that it also involves the Marquis' Mansion?
I was very nervous, but the imperial edict had arrived and there was no time to delay.
"Follow me to receive the imperial edict." After saying this, Marquis Yong'an walked away quickly.
I, the Marquis, can no longer be called father.
It's really fast to divide the relationship.
Su Rui snorted in her heart, but she did not hesitate and walked quickly towards the door.
Others have also arrived after hearing the news.
Liang put on a worried mask.
Zhou Yao showed no disguising her gloating.
Su Ye's eyes were filled with resentment, and he glared at Su Rui even more harshly after seeing her.
Outside the gate, many people gathered to watch the fun, discussing what was written in the imperial edict.
The person who delivered the imperial eunuch was the senior eunuch in the palace. Su Rui remembered him as the one who stood beside the emperor on Buddha's birthday.
"How come it's Eunuch Fu who's here to deliver the imperial edict? I'm sorry for not taking good care of you and keeping you waiting for a long time." When Marquis Yong'an saw that it was Eunuch Fu, he hurriedly led him up.
"The Emperor has personally issued an order, so of course I have to make this trip. It's my job, so there's no need to be so polite, Your Majesty." Eunuch Fu looked up at Su Rui behind him and said with a smile, "Now that Miss Su is here, please accept the order."
Su Rui nodded and walked forward, kneeling on both knees in front of Eunuch Fu, and everyone else followed suit.
Eunuch Fu unfolded the bright yellow imperial edict and shouted, "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Su Rui, daughter of the Yong'an Marquis Su, is of outstanding appearance, virtuous disposition, sweet-smelling virtue, and possesses the beauty of peace and righteousness. She is hereby betrothed to Prince Yong as his concubine. The selection has been made by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, and the wedding will take place on the auspicious eighth day of next month."
Grant marriage!
No one expected that this imperial decree was not to kill Su Rui, but to grant her a marriage.
Or... Prince Yong's concubine!
Even Su Rui was skeptical after hearing this. Were the words on the imperial edict written correctly?
When she got the Yun Ji jade pendant, she knew that it was a good thing that Yun Ji asked her to wait.
She guessed that the imperial edict given to her was good, but she never expected that it was an imperial edict granting her marriage.
There is no way the emperor would marry her to Yunji. It must be Yunji who brought her here.
He asked her to wait in the Marquis' Mansion for this very thing!
"Miss Su, please accept the order." Eunuch Fu reminded with a smile.
Su Rui came to her senses and quickly raised her hands, asking Eunuch Fu to put the imperial edict in her hands.
Holding the heavy imperial edict, Su Rui finally felt that this was true.
After reading the imperial edict, Eunuch Fu and Marquis Yong'an exchanged a few polite words and then left.
Everyone stood up and looked at the imperial edict in Su Rui's hand, still unable to believe it.
"Let me see!" Su Ye took a step forward, took the imperial edict from Su Rui's hand and opened it to take a closer look.
Liang and Zhou Yao also looked over and checked every word one by one.
There is not a single typo.
The emperor actually arranged for Su Rui to marry Yun Ji.
"How is that possible? With your status, the emperor must be sick and stupid..."
"Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about!" The door was not even closed tightly, and Marquis Yong'an wished he could sew Su Ye's mouth shut.
Su Ye also realized that his mouth was faster than his brain, so he quickly shut his mouth.
"The emperor's will cannot be guessed. Moreover, this imperial edict is not for Mr. Su." Su Rui reached out to take back the imperial edict and walked back without wanting to stay any longer.
Everyone was still in shock. Seeing Su Rui take two steps, Liang chased after her, holding her hand and saying, "Rui'er, getting married is a big deal. It's the eighth day of next month, the same day as Yao'er's. Let the Marquis' Mansion take care of the wedding preparations for you."
Marquis Yong'an also reacted when he heard it.
The emperor granted the marriage, and no matter how bad Su Rui's reputation was, she would be Prince Yong's concubine in the future.
This also shows that Yun Ji dotes on Su Rui. The Marquis's Mansion arranged a marriage for her, and they became a family.
Yun Ji has just been conferred the title of prince, and his official position has not yet been determined, but it will definitely not be low. He is now dismissed from his post and is in the palace. As long as Yun Ji asks, he can work under him.
If your superior is your son-in-law, many things will be much easier to handle. You can show your talents and don't have to endure any bullying.
"No need." Before the Marquis of Yong'an could speak, Su Rui refused without hesitation. She pulled her hand out of Liang's and said coldly, "I have no relationship with the Marquis' Mansion. There is no need for the Marquis' Mansion to worry about me. Besides, there are differences between concubines. If we do things together, it would be bad if others think we are of the same kind."
Su Rui revealed Liang's thoughts.
Firstly, he wanted to restore the relationship between Su Rui and Yong'an Marquis Mansion, which would be useful in the future.
Secondly, since they were getting married on the same day, it would be a good opportunity to include Zhou Yao in the wedding, which would also bring honor to her.
But he didn't expect Su Rui to react so quickly and speak so harshly.
"Rui Er, how are you going to prepare for your wedding alone, or..."
"How I prepare is my business, you don't have to worry about it." Su Rui interrupted Liang and said to Xier, then walked away with a wink.
Liang wanted to chase after her, but Xier quickly stood in front of her, her emotionless eyes sweeping over everyone, as if to say that anyone who dared to stop Su Rui would be killed.
Looking at Xier, Marquis Yong'an couldn't help but regret that he was wrong.
If I had known this earlier, I would have waited another day and not been so anxious to get Su Rui to leave. Now I am stuck here.
Zhou Yao was so jealous that she bit her lower lip.
I thought that today's imperial decree was to kill Su Rui, so I hurried over to see if Su Rui could still be strong enough when death was imminent, thinking of kicking her hard a few times to vent my anger.
What she got in the end was that she was granted marriage as a concubine.
Prince Yong's concubine, even if she is a concubine, she is different after all.
A concubine can also be included in the royal jade register. She is not even comparable to the wives of ordinary noble families, let alone her little concubine. The difference between them is like heaven and earth.
But why?
Both of them had a ruined reputation, but Su Rui was a woman who had slept with thousands of men, and her reputation was even worse than hers. Why could she still be a concubine, while she could only be a concubine?
But no one cared about her reluctance at this time.
Whether inside or outside the mansion, Su Rui is the focus at this moment.
