Li Shimin was stunned.
For a moment, he thought he had heard wrongly.
Li Yuan actually bestowed Zhangsun Wugou to Li Xuanlie?
Or a concubine?
He clearly remembered that he had hinted to Li Yuan many times that he had the intention to marry into the Zhangsun family and wanted to make Zhangsun Wugou the princess consort.
Li Yuan knew this, so why did he issue this decree?
Li Shi Min was shocked and furious.
Li Xuanlie's calm face couldn't help but flash with surprise.
"What is Imperial Father doing? He clearly knows that the woman I want to marry is Xiu Ning, so why did he bestow a concubine to me?”
His thoughts spun, and he couldn't understand Li Yuan's intentions, so he didn't receive the decree.
"Congratulations, Your Highness.”
The eunuch laughed.
Li Xuanlie looked at the imperial edict but did not accept it.
At this moment, Li Shi Min rushed forward and snatched the imperial edict.
The eunuch was shocked. He did not expect the King of Qin to do such a thing and was at a loss.
Li Shiming anxiously examined the imperial edict. It was clearly written that Li Yuan had indeed bestowed Zhangsun Wugou to Li Xuanlie.
Although it was cruel, it was the truth.
"Why? Why did father do this?”
Li Shiming grabbed the imperial edict and shouted at the eunuch excitedly.
" Your Highness, please calm down," the eunuch said in a trembling voice." This is His Majesty's decree. How dare I ask?"”
" Father, you actually, actually…"
Li Shi Min gritted his teeth, his face flushed red. He gripped the imperial edict tightly, as if he was about to tear it into pieces.
The surprise on Li Xuanlie's face turned serious.
Li Yuan's imperial edict was indeed puzzling, but Li Shimin's outrageous actions made him furious.
How could he tolerate such disrespect for snatching the imperial edict and insulting Li Yuan?
"Give me the imperial edict!"
Li Xuanlie shouted and extended his hand, indicating for him to return the imperial edict.
Li Shi Min's eardrums buzzed from the shock, and he suddenly woke up.
Looking at Li Xuanlie's stern face and the imperial edict in his hand, he wanted nothing more than to tear this humiliating imperial edict into pieces.
The atmosphere was tense.
"I order you to hand it over!"
Li Xuanlie shouted again. His tone became more serious, and killing intent burned in his eyes.
Li Shi Min shivered. He was still intimidated by Li Xuanlie and couldn't help but calm down.
Shua!
He placed the imperial edict heavily into Li Xuanlie's hand, then snorted coldly and left angrily.
The chief eunuch heaved a sigh of relief. He did not dare to stay any longer and quickly left.
"What is Imperial Father thinking?"
Li Xuanlie looked at the imperial edict in his hand, his straight eyebrows forming a word.
At this time, Liu Bowen came out from behind the screen and smiled,""I heard that Miss Zhangsun is the number one beauty in the East Capital. Congratulations, Your Highness, for bringing the beauty home ~"
"This Prince wants to marry Xiu Ning, but now Imperial Father has stuffed me with a Zhangsun Wugou, what joy is there!”
Li Xuanlie put away the imperial edict and glared at Liu Bowen.
Liu Bowen coughed dryly and said," Your Highness, please calm down. I was just joking. How could I not know about your feelings for Princess Ping Yang?"”
He changed the topic." However, in His Majesty's decree, he only bestowed Miss Zhangsun as a concubine. A concubine is a concubine, and a wife is a wife. It doesn't seem contradictory.”
Li Xuanlie was confused.
Although he was a genius with extraordinary wisdom, his strategies were all stunning.
However, he was only a young man after all. He was not very proficient in the matters between men and women.
He naturally could not figure out the intention of Li Yuan's decree.
"Prepare the horses. This king wants to enter the palace and ask Imperial Father in person!”
…
Zhangsun Manor.
In the boudoir, Zhangsun Wugou was resting his cheek on his palm as he stared out the window at the floating clouds in a daze.
The scene of her meeting Li Xuanlie on Pingkang Street appeared in her mind from time to time.
She would sometimes snicker and sometimes sigh. This made the servant girl Xiao Yun confused.
" Young Master, come back!"
Xiaoyun's voice interrupted Zhangsun Wugou's thoughts. When he turned around, he saw Zhangsun Wuji walking in.
"Little sister, happy news!"
Zhangsun Wuji's face was red with joy.
"What good news made big brother so happy?”Zhangsun Wugou asked curiously.
Zhangsun Wugou smiled." His Highness the King of Qin said that he will enter the palace in a few days and ask His Majesty to bestow a marriage. You will soon be the Consort of Qin."”
So this was what happened.
When Zhangsun Wugou heard this, the curiosity on his pretty face faded, and he only replied with an "oh".
"Why, is Younger Sister still not happy about such a joyous occasion?”
"You are about to become a princess consort. In the future, when His Highness the King of Qin becomes the Crown Prince, you will be the Crown Princess Consort. When the King of Qin ascends the throne, you will be the Empress who is the mother of the world!”
"What glory is this? Our Zhangsun clan has become the descendant clan in one leap. The rise is right in front of us!”
Zhangsun Wuji was extremely excited as he continued to outline the blueprint.
Zhangsun Wugou hesitated for a long time, but he bit his lips and asked carefully,""Big brother, can I…can I not marry His Highness the King of Qin?”
