The Shangshu Ling really gave birth to a good daughter.
"That's alright. I came in a hurry and didn't notify you in advance. Now that Miss Su is here, then please accept my order."
After Dehai finished speaking, everyone in the hall knelt down, with their foreheads pressed against the backs of their folded hands on the ground, their attitudes very respectful.
Immediately afterwards, Eunuch Dehai's sharp voice rang out in the hall.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims:
I have inherited the destiny of Heaven and rule over the four seas. My heart is always with the people of this country and I am worried about the successors of this empire.
Today, there is Su Jingyao, the legitimate daughter of Shangshu Ling. She is outstanding in appearance and character, and has both virtue and talent. She is truly a role model for the boudoir.
I consider her virtuous and kind, and think she is suitable for a good marriage, so I specially grant Su Jingyao the title of Crown Prince's concubine to assist the Eastern Palace.
Half a month later, the wedding ceremony will be held with a grand royal ceremony to demonstrate my great grace.
I hope the two of them will respect each other as guests, give birth to a son soon, and continue the royal bloodline.
So ordered! "
"Your humble servant receives the order."
After Eunuch Dehai left, Su Jingyao's mother Liu Jingxian looked worried.
"Master, I was originally looking for a husband for Yaoyao. Yaoyao is your daughter who I have loved since she was a child. I want her to be my legal wife, but now..."
Although Liu Jingxian is thirty-three years old, her face is still soft and firm. Su Hongyu felt a little reluctant when he expressed his concern for his daughter.
But this is an imperial decree and cannot be disobeyed.
"I know that, too. What's more, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have a very close relationship. I'm afraid Yaoyao will suffer some grievances if she marries him."
As a woman living in seclusion, Liu Jingxian naturally did not know about the prince's romantic affairs, but Su Hongyu knew clearly that when the prince went to war, he had a love affair with General Ling's daughter. If the princess was not infertile, His Majesty would not have given Yaoyao to the prince now.
Ever since the Crown Prince married the Crown Princess, he has been unwilling to take a concubine, but now his Yaoyao wants to be the first to take the lead.
Su Hongyu was a little worried that the prince would take his anger out on Yaoyao.
I can’t tell you everything now, otherwise my wife will be even more sad.
"Father, Mother, I'm fine. I'm willing to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like me, I will behave myself and live well in the Eastern Palace, not causing my parents to worry."
When Liu Jingxian heard her daughter's sensible words, she couldn't help but shed tears.
"Mother should have arranged a marriage for you earlier. You wouldn't have been forced to marry now, leaving you with no choice. It's all my fault for wanting to keep you for another year."
"Mother, the Crown Prince is a man of great stature and appearance. Although my daughter won't be his legal wife, she will be a member of the royal family. In the future, our family will also be members of the royal family. My daughter is not sad, and mother, please don't be sad for her, okay?"
Su Hongyu also felt sorry for his wife's sadness and tears, so he gently held her in his arms and his eyes fell on Su Jingyao.
"Yaoyao, the Su family will always be your backer. If you need anything after you get married, remember to write to tell Daddy and Mommy. Don't keep it in your heart."
"Okay, Daddy and Mommy are the best. I will remember this."
