Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 342

Chapter 342: Bestowed Marriage
Miss Xin took a sip of her tea and said, “What’s more, it only took him a month to reclaim the seven cities and twelve fortress passes in the northern region and force the Xiong Nu to surrender. As long as the enemies hear Yan Junwang’s name, they will lose the will to fight.”

Miss Xin shook her head, and her eyes were full of pity when she said, “I think this Shisan Gongzhu really overestimates herself. She is just a subjugated princess, but she dares to set her sights on Yan Junwang. She must have felt that she had lived too long and was no longer afraid of death.”

After hearing Miss Xin’s words, the other three young ladies nodded in agreement. After a few seconds of silence, Miss Wu asked, “Then what will happen to the alliance between our empire and the Xiong Nu?”

Miss Guan rolled her eyes and replied, “What alliance? The Xiong Nu have sent their princesses and princes here as hostages. It’s obvious that they have surrendered to us.”

Miss Xin nodded and added, “Exactly. I heard that the person chosen as the husband of Shisan Gongzhu is the son of a seventh-rank minister of the Hanlin Academy. Moreover, the person who chose him was Yan Junwang.”

As soon as these words came out, Miss Chen asked in doubt, “Isn’t that man famous for being frivolous and good for nothing? At thirty-five, he had no job or any decent achievement. I even saw him visiting the pleasure house on the way here.”

The other three young ladies looked disgusted when they heard this.

After a while, Miss Xin recalled the conversation between herself and her mother and said, “A few days ago, I heard from my mother that this good-for-nothing man brought two more concubines from the pleasure house. Even before the first wife got married, the backyard was already filled with flowers. This man is really a scumbag.”

Miss Chi sighed again, took a sip of tea, and couldn’t help but comment, “Yan Junwang is really vengeful. If anyone dares to offend him, the rest of that person’s life will be miserable.”

The young ladies chatted for a long time, and when they left the Wu family’s mansion, they had finished talking about all the rumors in the imperial capital city.

At this time, Duan Yixin and the Chi siblings had just finished looking around the Xie Guogong’s Mansion. Looking at the beautiful courtyard prepared for them, Chi Xinru smiled happily.

“Xin Xin, your father really loves you.”

Duan Yixin looked at the busy maidservants and servants moving things and smiled, “He is indeed a considerate father.”

While they were supervising the arrangement of furniture, Xuan Ruiquan left the imperial palace and went to Dali Si. A few hours later, Qiu Yuanbo arrived at Xie Guogong’s mansion. After hearing the news, Zhan Wenmin came out to greet him.

Seeing Qiu Yuanbo waiting in the main hall, Zhan Wenmin hurriedly asked, “Qiu Gong Gong, what brings you here today?”

Qiu Yuanbo stood up from his seat and said with a smile, “Greeting, General Zhan. I am here to send the imperial edict. His Majesty finally grants marriage to Yan Junwang and Miss Duan.”

Zhan Wenmin was stunned when he heard this, and Qiu Yuanbo said again, “General Zhan, please invite Miss Duan to come out and receive the imperial edict.”

Zhan Wenmin came back to his senses, nodded, and smiled, “Qiu Gong Gong, please wait a moment. I will inform the Eldest Young Lady.”

Qiu Yuanbo nodded and said, “General Zhan, please take your time.”

While Qiu Yuanbo was waiting, Zhan Wenmin quickly relayed the news to Xie Yanghui in the Jin Yi Army’s military camp and then went to notify Duan Yixin. Not long after, he returned with Duan Yixin and the Chi siblings.

Seeing them arriving, Qiu Yuanbo smiled and said, “Miss Duan, please accept the imperial edict.”

Duan Yixin and the others knelt on the floor, and Qiu Yuanbo opened the imperial edict. He cleared his throat and read the content.

“By the will of Heaven, the emperor decreed. Duan Yixin, the eldest daughter of Xie Guogong, is kind-hearted and has superb medical skills. She will be married to Yan Junwang, Xuan Ruiquan, to become his main wife. The wedding will be held on an auspicious date.”

After reading the imperial edict, Qiu Yuanbo helped Duan Yixin up and smiled, “Congratulations, Miss Duan.”

Duan Yixin accepted the imperial edict and smiled, “Thank you for delivering the imperial edict, Qiu Gong Gong.”

She then handed the imperial edict to Zhan Wenmin and asked, “Qiu Gong Gong, did General Xuan go to Shi Xiong to ask for this marriage?”

Qiu Yuanbo recalled what had happened a few hours ago, nodded, and chuckled.

Seeing Duan Yixin and others looking at him curiously, Qiu Yuanbo covered his smiling lips and said, “This morning, Wangye indeed met with His Majesty and asked for this marriage. As for the specific situation, Miss Duan should ask Wangye later.”

Looking at Qiu Yuanbo’s smile, Duan Yixin knew that things were not as simple as he said, but she did not ask for details.

Now that the imperial edict had been given to Duan Yixin, it was time for Qiu Yuanbo to leave. He smiled at Duan Yixin and said, “Miss Duan, I still need to deliver the imperial edict to Wangye. I will take my leave first.”

Duan Yixin nodded, “Qiu Gong Gong, thank you for coming today.”

Qiu Yuanbo smiled and said, “This is what I should do.”

Before Zhan Wenmin handed the money bag to Qiu Yuanbo, Qiu Yuanbo had already said, “No need to send me out. I know the way.”

Zhan Wenmin still sent him to the gate and said, “Qiu Gong Gong, please go slowly.”

After delivering the imperial edict to Duan Yixin, Qiu Yuanbo went to Dali Si and handed another imperial edict to Xuan Ruiquan. While screams and cries came from the underground prison, Qiu Yuanbo calmly read out the imperial edict.
