Chapter 1279 - 1279: Marriage!

Translator: Lonelytree

In reality, His Majesty had already decided to let Yuwen Ling go through the marriage alliance.

“What?” Granny Liu’s eyes widened in disbelief. She said in shock,” How is this possible? Didn’t His Majesty love the Ninth Princess the most?” How could he bear to send the Ninth Princess away for a marriage alliance?

Consort Liu said,” His Majesty promised Ling ‘er that as long as Jiang Zhennan agreed to marry her, he would bestow the marriage upon them. Ling ‘Er heard

of a kind of love-at-first-sight medicine from someone. Ling ‘er thought of

drugging Jiang Zhennan.

“However, she did not expect that when she went to the General’s Estate to drug Jiang Zhennan, she would be used by someone with ill intentions. A bottle of poison that harmed the Emperor was hidden in the General’s study, causing Jiang Zhennan to be imprisoned and almost allowing the Third Prince’s party to successfully rebel!

“Now that the Third Prince’s party had failed in their rebellion, His Majesty had begun to hold them accountable. Although Ling ‘er did not mean it, the mistake she made almost caused His Majesty to be dethroned. Therefore, Ling ‘Er has to pay for her mistake.

“His Majesty said that Ling ‘er’s mistake is comparable to an accomplice in the rebellion of the Third Prince’s party. According to the crime, our entire Liu family can’t escape. Now, His Majesty only wants Ling ‘er to go through the marriage alliance to protect her life and the lives of the Liu family!” Consort Liu said dejectedly.

When Granny Liu heard this, she panicked. She asked nervously and worriedly,” How did this happen? What should we do?”

When Consort Liu De first heard the news, she almost broke down. She knelt down and begged the Emperor not to do this. However, the Emperor’s words instantly made her collapse.

Between Yuwen Ling and the entire Liu Family, she didn’t know how to choose.

“So, Nanny, we can’t indulge Ling ‘er anymore. Think of a way to stop Ling er from tormenting Jiang Zhennan and make her obedient. Perhaps His Majesty will be soft-hearted and won’t let Ling ‘er go through the marriage alliance.”

When Granny Liu heard this, she sighed heavily and said,” Your Majesty, this old servant understands!”

Defender General Manor

Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan were strolling hand in hand in the back garden.

When the servants saw the two loving people, they covered their mouths and snickered.

They did not expect that the iron-faced general, who had always been cold and emotionless, would actually become so gentle and affectionate towards Lin Yuelan. Anyone could see it.

They were engaged now, but from what Brother Da Zu said, they were in a relationship.

As for what an engagement was, Brother Da Zu said that it was between an unmarried man and a woman. The purpose of the engagement was to understand both parties and promote the development of feelings before marriage.

It sounded fresh.

Of course, this would never happen to them.

This was because they could not be the master of their own marriage, It was either the order of their parents or the words of a matchmaker. They would marry someone they liked or disliked. Otherwise, they would be like servants, where the master made the decision.

If she met a good master, she might marry a good man. However, if she met a master who treated his servants harshly, her future life would be worse than death, and she would not be able to resist.

Therefore, they were really envious of their master’s love, but they couldn’t have any extravagant hopes.

Look, the general had plucked a flower from the garden and placed it in the young madam’s hair. Then, they saw the young madam’s beautiful face, which was smiling like a flower, and then they heard a burst of happy laughter.

“Yue ‘er, you’re so beautiful!” Jiang Zhennan plucked an orchid and stuck it in her hair.

Lin Yuelan touched the flowers on her head and asked with a smile,” Which is more beautiful, the flower or the person?”

“Of course, the person!” Jiang Zhennan replied without thinking,” When the flower is placed on your head, it will lose its luster!”

Lin Yuelan raised her eyebrows and asked in amusement,” In that case, why are you still doing it?”

Jiang Zhennan’s expression immediately became a little embarrassed. He said,” I heard from Guo Bing that when a man puts flowers on a woman’s head, it shows that the man loves the woman!” Therefore, even if this flower were overshadowed by Yue ‘er r s beauty, he would still pin it.

Lin Yuelan was speechless.

Guo Bing would always lead her Great General astray.

However, Lin Yuelan continued to ask,” Guo Bing, how did he know? I remember that he doesn’t have a wife or a woman, right?”
