Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xie Niushan could not understand. His daughter was just an ordinary official’s daughter, how could she be a noble?

As her father, he still had to kneel, how could his daughter be exempt from the formalities?

However, before he could regain his senses, he heard the old eunuch cough dryly, pinch his throat, and read the imperial edict.

“In accordance with the imperial edict, the former General Xie Niushan’s eldest daughter Xie Qiao is skilled and generous, kind and honest, has outstanding looks, and is intelligent and capable. His Majesty is very pleased to hear that… she is a match made in heaven with our Crown Prince, and I hereby betroth this daughter to the Crown Prince as his wife. The ceremony will be jointly handled by the Ministry of Rites and the directorate of astronomy, and the marriage will be arranged on a suitable date!

“Also, the Emperor has specially gifted some treasures to the future Princess Consort.”

As he spoke, he got people to arrange the things and read them out one by one.

Xie Niushan could not hear a single word that was being read out.

He could understand the words that were praising his daughter’s good looks and sensibility.

However, he could not understand them when they were put together.

He had a dumbfounded look on his face, like a fool. The eunuch could not bear to watch any longer. Seeing that he still had no reaction after receiving the edict, he hurriedly said, “Master Xie? Can you at least express your stance?”

Logically speaking, he should serve tea and red envelopes to those who came to deliver the edict of such amazing news, right?!

If he was too cold, if word got out, others would think that the Xie family did not approve of this marriage!

“Ah? Stance? What stance?” Xie Niushan scratched his head. “W-What did you say my daughter should do?”

“Become the Crown Prince’s wife…” The eunuch was speechless.

In addition, the reaction of this family… was very strange!

Especially the Xie siblings. There were only three people present at the moment, and they all looked calm and indifferent, as if they had heard a very common thing!

This Xie Niushan was even more outrageous. He actually did not understand?

He was not old. How could he be deaf?

“Princess Consort…” Xie Niushan muttered. Then, his voice rose like a gong. “The Princess Consort that you’re talking about is the Crown Prince’s wife, right? T-The Emperor wants my daughter to marry the Crown Prince?!”

It was not a dream, right?!

S-She had achieved greatness in one step!

“That’s right.” The eunuch hurriedly nodded.

“Why?” Xie Niushan still felt a little incredulous.

He was too absent-minded. Could it be that he had not woken up yet and was dreaming?

Xie Niushan thought for a moment and pinched Xie Pinggang beside him from behind.

Xie Pinggang’s expression remained the same.

“It’s really a dream!” Xie Niushan suddenly realized!

Xie Pinggang could not stand it anymore. “Father, it’s true. The Crown Prince is marrying my eldest sister. This news has been spreading for several days. I thought you knew about it. I didn’t expect that you would be so slow.”

“It’s been several days…” Xie Niushan patted his face.

Suddenly, he reached out and took the imperial edict. Then, he strode into the house.

The rest of the people looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

Xie Pinggang played host and served the people who were left behind tea and gave them some silver beans as errand fee.

At that moment, Xie Niushan returned to the house in a daze and took out a wooden box from under the bed.

After Ms. Lu left, only did he place the box in his room. He carefully took it out.

There was a memorial tablet of his beloved wife’s name written on it, Ms. Peng!

He wiped the memorial tablet and placed it on the bed, with a plop, he knelt in front of the bed.

“My dear wife, take a look at what this is! You wouldn’t believe that the Emperor sent this imperial edict! He wants your daughter to become the Princess Consort. This daughter of ours has a short life, and she has a lethal fate. Do you think she would kill the Crown Prince with her fate? However, I think… that doesn’t matter. Our daughter said earlier that the Crown Prince is good-looking. Unfortunately, I was useless and couldn’t make him stay. Now that he has come to our doorstep, I will never let him go….”
