Little did I know, the Lin family was a place that would devour people without spitting out their bones.
She was reborn, but the Lin family still tried to intimidate her.
By a twist of fate, Xu Qingshi brought him back to the manor and introduced him to Prince An.
Although Prince An told her yesterday that the Emperor would grant her a marriage, she still felt a sense of unreality before the imperial decree was issued. Could she really marry Prince An?
Until the imperial edict arrived, and I heard the solemn words that connected my name with Xu Heming's, an indescribable sense of security and a faint expectation for the future quietly welled up in my heart.
With a beaming smile, Eunuch Liu helped Li Tianyou up: "Lord Li, please rise! His Majesty attaches great importance to the marriage between Prince An and your daughter. Congratulations, Lord Li! You have gained a wonderful son-in-law!"
"Thank you for your kind words, sir. I am very grateful for your help." Li Tianyou quickly gestured to Zhou Tong to present the red envelope that had been prepared beforehand.
After some initial refusals, Eunuch Liu accepted the gift with a smile and added, "His Majesty also asked me to pass on a message: Although there is still an old princess in the Prince An's residence, she is easy to get along with. The young prince is also on good terms with Miss Li. Once he enters the Prince's residence, he only needs to stay true to himself. His Majesty and the Empress are Miss Li's support."
The protective intent in these words was quite obvious, and Li Tianyou and Li Zhiwei quickly thanked him again.
"Miss Li, the Emperor has invited you to the palace to watch a performance in three days. You mustn't be absent," Eunuch Liu said to Li Zhiwei with a smile.
Thinking about the performance three days later, Eunuch Liu couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
After all, it was the first time Prince An and Lord Wei had performed together, and even he was looking forward to it.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will be there on time." Li Zhiwei assumed that the Emperor and Empress were inviting their officials and their families to watch a play, and obediently agreed.
Eunuch Liu, thinking that he still had to go to Prince An's residence, did not linger.
After seeing off Eunuch Liu, the Li family was immediately immersed in a festive atmosphere.
The servants congratulated Li Tianyou and Li Zhiwei.
Holding the imperial edict as if it were a priceless treasure, Li Tianyou said to his daughter with emotion, "Wei'er, with the Emperor placing such importance on this marriage and even declaring that he will personally support you, I can finally rest assured about your marriage."
Li Zhiwei blushed slightly and nodded: "Father, I understand."
Meanwhile, inside the Prince An's residence.
Xu Heming soon received the same imperial edict. After the eunuch who delivered the edict left, he casually placed the edict on his desk, tapping the surface lightly with his fingertips, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"Saving money to get married..." he muttered to himself, recalling the banter he had with Xie Jincheng in the storeroom of the Marquis of Yongning's mansion yesterday, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
After leaving the Prince An's residence, Eunuch Liu made a special trip to the Wei family.
Lin Ziyi was taken aback when he heard that the Emperor had invited him to the palace to watch a play.
"Father-in-law, are you saying this to me or to my mother-in-law?" Lin Ziyi thought to herself, "In the past, I didn't need to do such things myself."
Why was I sent this time?
"Madam Wei, His Majesty intends to invite you alone." Eunuch Liu was not angry, and his smile remained unchanged. He thought to himself, "Your husband is putting on a great performance, so you must go and support him."
"Just me alone?" Lin Ziyi was somewhat surprised. The Emperor had invited her alone?
"Madam Wei, Princess An will also be going that day."
