Chapter 187 Imperial Edict for Marriage Arrives

The maid who was leading the way naturally saw it too and replied, "It's the Third Miss."

Qin Su heard the noise behind her and turned around.

The moment Qin Qionghua saw her face clearly, she was startled: "Qin Sangsang?"

The girl not far away had exquisite and stunning features, but her eyes were distant and indifferent, as if they were made of ice and snow. Her temperament was noble and otherworldly, and there was no trace of her former unease and humility. She was like a completely different person.

Qin Sangsang, after not seeing her for several months, has grown into such a beautiful woman.

But what really shocked Qin Wanrou was what was to come:
"...Ms. Qin is gentle and kind, of outstanding character and appearance, and comes from a prestigious family. The Empress and I are very pleased to hear of her. Therefore, we hereby betroth you to the Crown Prince as a concubine. We hope that after entering the Eastern Palace, you will be virtuous and dutiful, assist the Crown Prince, and diligently manage the household, so as to uphold the virtues of the royal family. After receiving the decree, the Prime Minister shall quickly prepare the dowry and choose an auspicious day to send the girl to the palace."

Qin Qionghua couldn't hear what happened next; all she knew was that Qin Sangsang had been chosen as the Crown Prince's concubine.

It is impossible for two women from the same family to marry the Crown Prince at the same time. Even if she enters the palace later, her rank will never surpass that of Qin Sangsang.

Qin Qionghua's vision went black, and she almost fainted, but fortunately, Hongxing, who was beside her, reacted in time and supported her.

The system told Qin Su this as a joke: "Host, look! The female supporting character is so angry she almost fainted when she heard you entered the palace."

Qin Wanrou, who was standing nearby, naturally heard it as well. Although she was also jealous and shocked, she remained calm due to her previous "experience" and did not cause any disturbance.

"Your Highness, please rise."

The eunuch delivering the imperial decree smiled gently and took the initiative to help Qin Su up from the ground.

Out of the corner of her eye, Qin Su glanced behind her and saw that Qin Qionghua's face was as white as a ghost.

So pitiful~
She nodded to the eunuch who delivered the decree: "Thank you, Your Excellency."

Qin Rusong, who was standing to the side, was also unable to contain his excitement and his joy was evident.

Although he had a premonition that his third daughter would enter the Eastern Palace, he did not expect her to have such a high rank.

Crown Prince's concubine, Crown Prince's concubine...

The Crown Prince's harem has been empty for a long time. What is the difference between the Crown Prince's concubine and the Crown Princess in the Eastern Palace?
Moreover, if Sangsang is smart enough to seize this opportunity and get pregnant before the Crown Princess enters the palace, then the Crown Prince's eldest son should be born from her belly.

When the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, I will be the maternal grandfather of the future eldest prince...

While exchanging pleasantries with the imperial eunuch who delivered the imperial decree, Qin Rusong ordered someone to present him with generous gifts.

As for Qin Su, she was surrounded by the women of each household who congratulated her repeatedly.

Qin Su's aloof attitude was seen as shyness by them.

Qin Rusong warmly invited the eunuch to stay for dinner, but he politely declined, saying he had to return to the palace to report back.

Once the father-in-law left, the others, knowing the father and daughter had something to say, also tactfully left.

“Sang Sang, come with your father.”

Qin Su was complaining to the system that she had seen more women than she had ever seen since she transmigrated. Hearing her scumbag father's overly gentle and friendly tone made her feel uncomfortable for a moment.

Qin Rusong was in high spirits because of the happy event. He knew that Qin Su came from the palace, and he also learned from his conversation with the eunuch who delivered the imperial decree that she had "made meritorious contributions in protecting the emperor" in the palace. So he decided to keep her and question her in detail.

But soon, he sensed something was wrong from the girl's expression.

Being made a concubine of the Crown Prince would be an incredible honor, but her brows were furrowed, her expression dazed, and she looked utterly lost and distraught...

His first thought was that he wondered if the old eunuch had seen the many rewards he had received, and whether he would go back and talk nonsense.

Because of this thought, the joy he felt when he led his men into the hall faded somewhat. "Sangsang, let me ask you, what about you and the Crown Prince…?"

"Father!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped inside, before the door was even closed, the young woman knelt before him, her eyes brimming with tears, and pleaded, "I beg you, I don't want to marry the Crown Prince, please..."

"Absurd!" Qin Rusong shouted at Qin Su, then got up again before sitting down, went to the door, and closed it tightly. He then turned to Qin Su, his smile gone.
"The imperial edict has just been issued, what nonsense are you spouting? If someone hears this, do you want your whole family to be buried with you?"

Seeing the girl's pitiful face, Qin Rusong swallowed back the rebuke he was about to deliver.

It wasn't that he felt sorry for his daughter or anything, but he suddenly remembered that the girl in front of him was now the Crown Prince's concubine, personally appointed by imperial decree, and was no longer the little girl he could scold at will.

He gave a somewhat stiff smile, walked over and helped the person up: "Get up first. I'm not trying to be mean to you, but... disobeying an imperial decree is punishable by beheading. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your aunt."

Speaking of Aunt Xu, Qin Rusong recalled the news he had heard when he brought her back that day—a masked man frequently came and went from the mansion.

Instantly, his gaze towards Qin Su became more suspicious: "I heard that when you were out, there was a masked man always by your side. You didn't want to enter the palace to marry the Crown Prince, could it be because of him?"

He was already showing restraint by not using the term "wild man."

Although Qin Rusong's tone remained relatively calm, he had already planned in his heart that once confirmed, he would use whatever means necessary, even if it meant going to heaven and sea, to completely eliminate this person.

Fortunately, his daughter only glanced at him with some surprise, then shook her head: "There is no one else, he... is the Crown Prince."

Qin Rusong: !!!

Is there really such a surprise?!

He was prepared to destroy the evidence and eliminate everyone in the vicinity of Chongxian Lane who knew about the incident.

"So that means that during all these days you were away, you were actually with... with His Highness the Crown Prince?"

As he said this, the way he looked at Qin Su changed slightly.

I never expected that my seemingly ordinary daughter would have such abilities.

As for any secret dealings or clandestine exchanges... well, that's His Highness the Crown Prince. If you're going to call it anything, you should say it's like playing the dragon and the phoenix!
The girl lowered her head and didn't speak, her cheeks slightly flushed. She didn't say anything explicitly, but her girlish demeanor said it all.

"I knew it! How could His Highness the Crown Prince have noticed you for no reason? It really is fate."

He burst into laughter, his earlier anxiety and tension vanishing. As for Qin Su's claim that she wanted to annul the engagement and not marry the Crown Prince, Qin Rusong thought it was just a young girl throwing a tantrum.

However, out of caution, he asked one more question: "Did you have a fight with His Highness?"

Sure enough, upon hearing this, his daughter looked at him in surprise, as if to say: How did you know?

Qin Rusong was now even more relieved.

Originally, I thought that the Emperor's bestowal of a marriage was already a pleasant surprise, but now that I have learned that the Crown Prince has some genuine affection for his third daughter, it is even more incredible.

As for the young couple having a fight, that's not his business.

So he simply said, "Don't talk nonsense about the annulment of the engagement. Your aunt is waiting for you inside. Go see her."

Having achieved her goal, Qin Su could only leave "helplessly": "Yes, daughter takes her leave."

However, as soon as they stepped outside—

"Qin Sangsang!"

The popularity has plummeted these past two days. Has everyone given up on writing? If so, I'll take a break for a couple of days too?
