"Father! Mother!" Lu Zhaozhao walked into the main hall and called dignifiedly and respectfully.

When Father Xiao and Mother Xiao, who were chatting with Eunuch Wei, heard this, they looked back and smiled.

"Zhao'er is here, come here quickly!" Father Xiao waved to her lovingly.

Lu Zhaozhao stepped forward: "Father!"

"This is Eunuch Wei who came to deliver the message!" Father Xiao introduced.

Lu Zhaozhao saluted: "My daughter has met Eunuch Wei!"

"No way!" Eunuch Wei hurriedly helped her stand up: "You will be Princess Yun in the future, how can the Za family bear your courtesy!"

"Eunuch Wei, you are so polite. You usually solve the emperor's problems, so you can certainly deserve a courtesy from me!" Lu Zhaozhao said with a sweet smile.

On the way here, she had learned from the maid that the visitor was the emperor's confidant, Eunuch Wei, and he was here to deliver the order!

Hearing this, Eunuch Wei smiled and said, "Miss Lu is indeed a peerless beauty, beautiful and intelligent. No wonder Prince Yun fell in love with you at first sight, Miss Lu!"

"Eunuch Wei, that's a wonderful compliment!" Lu Zhaozhao said with a smile.

Seeing her measured progress and retreat, Eunuch Wei nodded and took out the imperial edict from his sleeve.

"Miss Lu! Take the order!"

Hearing this, Lu Zhaozhao slowly knelt down.

Father Xiao, Mother Xiao, and the maids and slaves waiting outside the hall knelt down one after another.

Eunuch Wei unfolded the imperial edict and said loudly: "By God's decree, the emperor decrees that Zhong Ling Yuxiu, the daughter of Mr. Xiao, the bachelor of the cabinet... is specially given to Prince Yun as his concubine!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!" Lu Zhaozhao thanked him.

"Congratulations to Miss Lu!" Eunuch Wei closed the imperial edict and handed it to her.

"Thank you, Eunuch Wei!" Lu Zhaozhao took it with both hands and stood up immediately.

Father Xiao stepped forward, took out a bag of silver from his sleeve, and handed it to him: "Excuse me, Eunuch Wei, I have made a trip in person. This is the tea money given to you by the official. I hope Eunuch Wei won't dislike it!"

"You're welcome, Mr. Xiao!" Eunuch Wei stretched out his hand to take it: "The Za family has to return to the palace to reply to the emperor's order, so I won't continue to disturb you here!"

"I'll give it to you!" Father Xiao stretched out his hand and made a 'please' gesture.

Eunuch Wei and Lu Zhaozhao nodded and walked out.

"I didn't expect that the emperor's confidant Eunuch Wei would come to deliver the imperial edict of marriage. This shows that the emperor and Concubine Shu attach great importance to this marriage!" Mother Xiao said happily when Eunuch Wei disappeared.

Lu Zhaozhao held the imperial edict and smiled.

If she guessed correctly, it must be...

The Emperor and Concubine Shu were more or less affected by the rumors a while ago, and were afraid that Father Xiao and Mother Xiao would not be optimistic about this marriage, so they specially sent Eunuch Wei to come in person to show their support for the marriage. Attention!

"Zhao'er! Now the emperor has granted a marriage. Although the specific date of the wedding has not been specified, we still need to prepare in advance to avoid being in a hurry!" Xiao's mother reached out and took her hand.

"..." Lu Zhaozhao.

Can she say that there will be no big wedding at all?

and so……

There is absolutely no need to prepare anything!

"In the past two days, mother will have someone come into the house to measure your size. First, embroider the wedding dress!" Mother Xiao said.

"Everything depends on mother!" Lu Zhaozhao said obediently.

In order to avoid things being revealed, you have to do what you have to do after all!

"Madam! Miss! Someone is coming from Prince Yun's Mansion!" The maid hurriedly walked into the hall.

"..." Lu Zhaozhao was slightly stunned.

As soon as this imperial edict was issued, why did someone come to Prince Yun's Mansion?

Could it be...

Come to give a betrothal gift?

Just as she was thinking about this, she heard the maid say.

"King Yun personally brought people to deliver the betrothal gift!" the maid said with a smile.

"..." Lu Zhaozhao. She really guessed it right!

"I didn't expect that King Yun, who is usually calm and self-possessed, would be so impatient!" Mother Xiao joked, patting her daughter's hand: "This shows that King Yun also values ​​you very much!"

Lu Zhaozhao felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.

In my mind, I couldn't help but think of what Qing Ju said in the morning, so much so that, at this moment, I really didn't want to see him!

mainly……

Afraid of embarrassment!

I feel even more embarrassed to see him!

"Zhao'er! Let's go! Let's go see what kind of betrothal gift King Yun has given you?" Xiao's mother couldn't help but pull her away.

"..." Lu Zhaozhao had a sad face.

Speaking of...

Can she not go?

Xiao's mother took her out of the main hall and saw a group of servants carrying betrothal gifts to the mansion from a distance.

"...two hundred taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, two pairs of luminous pearls, twenty handles of Ruyi jade, twenty sets of auspicious jade compasses in the form of dragons and phoenixes..."

Listening to the list of betrothal gifts being reported continuously, Mother Xiao couldn't help but glance at her daughter beside her: "The prince really spent a lot of money to marry you!"

"..." Lu Zhaozhao.

Does he want to make it so real?

Wouldn't it be troublesome for him to cancel the engagement and return the bride price later?

Dugu Fan, who was standing in the crowd, saw the figure slowly walking towards them at a glance, with a smile flashing in his eyes.

"Master Xiao! There are some things I want to say to Zhao'er alone!" When she approached, Dugu Fan said.

Father Xiao smiled and nodded: "You go ahead!"

"..." Looking at the tall figure walking towards her step by step, Lu Zhaozhao felt a little guilty.

Can she say no?

But apparently...

Dugu Fan didn't give her a chance to refuse or back down at all. His skeletal fingertips grabbed her wrist and pulled her away.

"..." Lu Zhaozhao did not move.

Sensing her resistance, Dugu Fan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her with a half-smile.

"What? You're still drunk? Do you need me to carry you back to the wing?" Dugufan lowered his voice and said at a volume that only the two of them could hear.

Lu Zhaozhao's cheeks instantly turned red.

This guy……

It's definitely intentional!

"Do you want to go by yourself? Or do you want me to carry you?" Dugu Fan's low and hoarse voice gently brushed against her ears again.

"..." Lu Zhaozhao.

Can she choose neither?

"If you don't say anything, I will assume that you have chosen the latter!" After saying this, he bent down to hug her.

Lu Zhaozhao was so frightened that he took two steps forward: "I can walk by myself!"

"Oh!" Dugu Fan's long and drawn-out voice sounded a bit regretful.

In order to prevent him from acting out of common sense and actually picking her up horizontally, Lu Zhaozhao hurriedly took the initiative to pull him towards the courtyard where she was.

after all……

She didn't want to experience the embarrassment of being carried all the way through the courtyard by him in full view of everyone!

only……

After walking a certain distance, Lu Zhaozhao could still vaguely feel the envious looks cast by the maids and slaves.

"You're walking so fast, what are you doing?" Dugufan asked after taking some time to relax.

Lu Zhaozhao ignored him until he reached the courtyard, then hurriedly pulled away the wrist he had held.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to tell me?" Lu Zhaozhao cleared his throat and tried to suppress the embarrassment in his heart.

And keep telling myself secretly, as long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed!
