An engagement?
Luo Zhao was a little confused.
All these years, he had never heard his mother mention that his late father Luo Cheng had arranged a marriage for him.
Moreover, it was with Princess Chang Le!
"Ding Dong!"
"The System Newbie Gift Bag has been delivered. Please take note of it.”
At this moment, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind.
Luo Zhao suddenly realized that this engagement was the newcomer's reward for being late.
The hunting ground was in an uproar again.
No one had expected such a dramatic scene.
A moment ago, Luo Zhao had just received the emperor's favor and was able to enter the court.
In the next moment, such a marriage agreement would appear out of nowhere. Luo Zhao would become the son-in-law of the emperor!
His wife would also be the emperor's most beloved Princess Changle.
This luck was simply heaven-defying!
Zhangsun Chong was stunned.
He was just reprimanded by Li Shimin because of Luo Zhao, so it was fine if he was unhappy.
Now that there was such an engagement, Luo Zhao wanted to snatch his Princess Chang Le, how could he not be shocked and lose his sense of propriety?
" So what? The Empress is my aunt. So what if Luo Zhao is engaged to Changle? Uncle will never agree…"
In the blink of an eye, Zhangsun Chong came back to his senses. He snorted and glanced at Luo Zhao.
He didn't believe that Li Shiming would ignore Empress Zhangsun and his father Zhangsun Wuji's influence to bestow Princess Chang Le to Luo Zhao.
Everyone's eyes were on Li Shiming.
The Emperor of the Great Tang was also stunned. His eyes lit up as he thought back to the past.
That was a bloody battle. He was surrounded, and Luo Cheng single-handedly fought a bloody path for him.
After that, he and Luo Cheng drank and celebrated. They were 70% drunk and grateful for Luo Cheng's life-saving grace. He promised to marry Luo Zhao when he grew up in Changle and wrote a marriage contract on the spot.
Now that Luo Cheng had passed away for many years, Shan Yingying had never mentioned this matter, and Li Shimin had gradually forgotten about it.
However, he did not expect Shan Yingying to suddenly take out the marriage contract at this moment and ask him to fulfill the engagement.
Li Shi Min calmed himself down and asked the palace guards to bring the marriage contract over. After a closer look, it was indeed his own handwriting.
Looking at the marriage contract, Li Shiming nodded his head and fell into a dilemma.
The marriage contract was true. According to the agreement, he should give Changle to Luo Zhao.
However, the son-in-law he had originally chosen was Zhangsun Chong. How was he going to explain this to Empress Zhangsun and Zhangsun Wuji?
"Your Majesty, was this engagement really decided by Your Majesty?”Wei Zheng asked.
"Indeed…it was indeed set by Zhen.”Li Shi Min did not deny it.
Wei Zheng cupped his hands and said seriously," I think that Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. Your words are of great weight. Otherwise, how can you set an example for the people?"”
Li Shi Min's body shook as he suddenly woke up. The hesitation in his eyes instantly disappeared.
The Son of Heaven kept his word.
Moreover, Luo Cheng had saved him before, so how could he break his promise?
Li Shi Min's eyes were firm and determined.
He put away the engagement, took a deep breath, and said loudly,"Pass down the imperial decree to order the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor to choose an auspicious day to hold the wedding of Princess Changle and Duke of Yue Luo Zhao!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shan Yingying heaved a sigh of relief and bowed deeply.
The hunting ground exploded.
Countless pairs of eyes from the princes and nobles gathered towards Luo Zhao in shock.
There was shock, confusion, and even more jealousy.
That was Princess Changle, the most beloved daughter of the emperor.
Many of the young masters present wanted to kneel before her.
However, they also knew that with Chang Le's looks and status, only Zhangsun Chong was worthy.
But now, the emperor had given up on Zhangsun Chong and chosen Luo Zhao for Princess Changle!
They were completely dumbfounded. They could not understand why Tian Zi would make such a choice.
Zhangsun Chong was even more dumbfounded. He stood rooted to the ground, as if he was dumbfounded.
After a long while, he finally regained his senses. His furious and shocked gaze turned to Luo Zhao.
At this moment, Luo Zhao was frowning. Not only was there no joy on his face, but there was also helplessness.
It was as if marrying the Eldest Princess, the most beautiful woman of the Great Tang and the Emperor's favorite, was a difficult task.
He would marry a beautiful, gentle, and virtuous wife, and take in a few beautiful and understanding concubines…
This was what he wanted.
Wouldn't marrying Changle be the same as welcoming a Bodhisattva? What fun could there be?
Luo Zhao was momentarily distracted, wondering if he could reject this marriage.
"Zhao 'er, why are you in a daze? Hurry up and thank His Majesty!”
His mother, Shan Yingying, shouted beside him. She glared at him sternly.
Luo Zhao sighed.
Mother's fate was hard to disobey…
Moreover, the emperor had already issued an edict to reject the marriage. Wasn't this deliberately embarrassing the emperor?
"Looks like I have no choice but to be the prince consort. Sigh…"
Sighing in his heart, Luo Zhao reluctantly cupped his hands,"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the marriage."
