In Prince Rui's Mansion, Ma De came with the imperial edict, and Prince Rui's Mansion, led by Dongfang Rui, knelt down.
Ma De's slightly pitiful eyes swept over Dongfang Rui, who had lowered his head, unfolded the imperial edict, and said loudly:
"It is God's destiny, the emperor decreed:
I am very pleased to hear that Su Li, the daughter of Prince Dongfang Rui, has a virtuous temperament and outstanding appearance. Today, the third son of the King of Zhenbei is no longer worthy of his title and is of marriageable age. He should choose a good daughter as his mate! It's time for Su Li to stay in her boudoir, and she is destined to marry the three sons of the King of Zhenbei. For the beauty of adulthood, I specially betroth you to the prince as the princess, and the Ministry of Etiquette will handle the arrangements for you to get married on a good time and auspicious day!
Admire this! "
"What? The royal brother is granting marriage, or is he marrying Ling Li from the Ling family?!"
Dongfang Rui was shocked and stood up from the ground suddenly, with a look of disbelief.
Li'er is the most talented woman in the capital, so why would the emperor betroth her to that ignorant playboy Ling Li? !
"Prince Rui, I know that Princess Li has been living in Guoxuebangfu, so please accept the order for her."
Ma De had a kind smile on his face, but his eyes were cold. As long as Dongfang Rui dared to refuse, Dongfang Xiao would definitely destroy him with the power of thunder. His contact with King Rui was under surveillance, and he could not have anything to do with Dongfang Rui. Relationship.
Dongfang Rui's face was ugly. He looked at the golden silk paper in Ma De's hand and didn't take it for a long time.
Only at this moment did he know what Su Li meant when he came back to remind him yesterday.
"No matter what His Majesty the Emperor demands, just agree to it, dad, without any disobedience."
Li'er was able to know the emperor's actions one step ahead of time and make countermeasures. How did she do it
Originally, Dongfang Rui thought that even if Su Li hid some secrets, it was just a title that could deal with the Su family. It was only now that he realized that he didn't even know his daughter at all. His intelligence ability is probably no less impressive than some of the hidden forces in Yunjing City.
"Prince Rui, Prince Rui?"
Ma De's voice reached his ears, and Dongfang Rui suddenly came back to his senses. The kind-hearted Ma De who fell into his eyes lost his previous kindness, and his words were quite aggressive, "Prince Rui is unwilling to accept the order, is it possible... If you want to resist the order, why don't you?" Do you respect me?"
Dongfang Rui was shocked and immediately understood Dongfang Xiao's intention.
Imperial brother, you actually want to attack him
Why!
No wonder Li'er asked him to accept the request unconditionally. If he refused, that would be the best excuse for Dongfang Xiao to take action!
pity…
Dongfang Rui sneered in his heart, Brother Emperor, Brother Emperor, you would never have thought that Li'er had expected this step and had arranged everything in advance. If it had been for his daughter before, he would never have agreed. But now...
Thinking of this, Dongfang Rui took two steps forward and gently took the imperial edict under Ma De's stunned eyes, and said respectfully:
"I...accept the order!"
Dongfang Rui's movement was so sudden that Ma De and others who came to read out the imperial edict were stunned. Even Eunuch Feng, who was waiting at the side with an expressionless face, was not expecting it.
Actually... accepted the order? !
Ma De's body was trembling slightly, and he pointed at Dongfang Rui who had received the imperial edict, his voice trembling, "Prince Rui, you have to think carefully. After receiving the imperial edict, Princess Li must marry into the Ling family. There is no way out! Are you really willing to give it up?"
Seeing Ma De's reaction, Dongfang Rui's eyes flashed with a strange look, and then he asked with a smile but not a smile: "Why, Master Ma seems to be talking about something."
Is there something in there? "
Ma De's expression froze, and he waved his hands quickly: "Where is it? I just asked casually, since Prince Rui has accepted the imperial edict. I will go to the Ministry of Rites and say goodbye..."
"Thank you, Master Ma. Master Ma, please walk slowly."
Dongfang Rui shouted loudly, and when Ma De and others left Prince Rui's Mansion, the smiles on their faces immediately disappeared, and the hidden anxiety emerged. Wu Bin appeared next to him at the right time, with a serious look on his face, "Old slave, go and pick up the young lady right now!"
"Go quickly!"
Dongfang Rui waved his sleeves and said anxiously, since Li'er asked him to agree, there must be a solution. But when Wu Bin asked Su Li, her answer made Dongfang Rui completely dumbfounded.
"What... do you really want to marry that Ling Li?!"
Dongfang Rui slapped the table in shock, and tea spilled everywhere on the table.
Su Li looked calm and nodded gently, without any fluctuation in her tone, as if what she said had nothing to do with her, "The emperor issued an imperial edict. Although Ling Li has a dandy personality, in terms of family status, there is no difference between him and his father. Even if this matter spreads and causes criticism, it will not cause much trouble. Even if the ministers have objections, Dongfang Xiao is reasonable, and the ministers will not lose the face of Gu Taijun in vain. In addition, Dad, you We have just received the order, what can we do to save the child?"
Su Li hit the nail on the head with every word he said, which made Dongfang Rui's heart freeze. It turned out that there were so many twists and turns hidden in it, and he hadn't thought of it before.
"In that case, why do you still want me to accept the order? Li'er, this is your lifelong event! How can that bastard boy from the Ling family be worthy of you? How can you tell your father to explain to your mother..."
Dongfang Rui sighed bitterly, and then suddenly his eyes lit up and he said: "Li'er, why don't I let Wu Bin escort you out of Dahan Country? As long as you escape the control of Dahan Country, Dongfang Xiao will be innocent even if he wants to be punished. Zhi, Wu Bin..."
"it's useless."
Before Dongfang Rui could speak, he was interrupted by Su Li's cold words.
"Dad, Dongfang Xiao is so cunning. Since he wants to deal with you, he must be fully prepared. If you refuse to resist the order, the Yuyun Army will surely break through Prince Rui's Mansion within half a day; if you accept the order and let me escape, I'm afraid They were caught by the Yuyun Army without even seeing the gate of Yunjing City. Everyone in Prince Rui's Mansion is like a caged bird at the moment. They can only act according to the will, otherwise they will only die. Dad, don't you understand?"
Every word Su Li said was like a sharp sword, piercing Dongfang Rui's chest. The latter took a few steps back, his face grim.
He originally thought that there was still room for change, but had Dongfang Xiao already reached this point
"But... dad doesn't want you to be wronged!"
Dongfang Rui held Su Li's hand tightly, his eyes full of truth. Since Su Yue left, Su Li was the only one left in his life. If his life could allow Su Li to regain his freedom, he would definitely give it up. Don't hesitate!
But even if he resists now, Su Li's end will not be better than now.
Feeling the warmth from Dongfang Rui's palm, Su Li smiled gently and stretched out her hand to smooth the wrinkles between Dongfang Rui's eyebrows. The sound was like a gentle spring breeze blowing by Dongfang Rui's ears.
"Dad, it is the greatest luck that my daughter can recognize you in this life. I dare not ask for anything else."
"Li'er..."
Dongfang Rui was moved, tears flashed in his eyes, but Su Li smiled softly.
Fortunately, my daughter did not kill you in this life. The rest of the time will be left to you.
My daughter, please solve all the causes and consequences.
"Dad, Ling Li is not as simple as you think. In fact, the imperial edict first drawn up by Dongfang Xiao was Ma Jintian." Su Li smiled as brightly as a flower and explained softly: "After many influences from me, I became Ling Li. Speaking of which, the third son of the Ling family was chosen by my daughter herself, and she...is willing to marry him!"
When Dongfang Rui heard this, the sadness on his face turned into astonishment.
He was born into a royal family and was used to intrigues and intrigues, but now his brain was a little weak in front of his daughter's plan.
Su Li has obviously been living outside the palace and has never even entered the palace. How can it affect the choice of marriage partner
"Li'er, what on earth are you..."
Before Dongfang Rui could say anything, he was blocked by Su Li's fingertips. The latter showed a beautiful smile, and his eyes were as bright as the sea, "Dad, there are some things that a daughter cannot say too much. When the time is right, dad will know everything. As for Now... please ask dad to properly arrange a dowry for his daughter."
Dongfang Rui looked at Su Li blankly. He was silent for an unknown amount of time, and finally a smile appeared on his face, "I am just a daughter like you, and your father will help you prepare the dowry so that you can marry in a glorious manner, no worse than a princess!"
"Thank you dad."
Su Li smiled sweetly and stayed at Prince Rui's Mansion for the night, and would stay at Prince Rui's Mansion for the next few days. She knew her situation very well. If she didn't live in Prince Rui's Mansion now, she would have fewer opportunities to live in Prince Rui's Mansion in the future. .
Dongfang Rui became completely busy, bringing a large amount of gold and silver jewelry for Su Li to choose from every day.
Although he didn't know what Su Li was planning, he still chose to believe his daughter unconditionally. He could only pray now, hoping that Ayun's spirit in the sky would protect their daughter from suffering and a smooth journey.
While Prince Rui's Mansion was busy preparing the dowry, the people in the Ling Mansion were stunned by the sudden news.
"The emperor granted marriage to Su Li?"
After the ancient Taijun and Qiu Meng received Eunuch Feng's imperial edict, they both stayed for a long time. Immediately, Qiu Meng was ecstatic and immediately came to the east courtyard in person to tell Ling Li the good news.
"Li'er, come out quickly, don't stay in the room. What great news! Your emperor and grandpa have given you a marriage to the girl you like, Su Li!"
Ling Li, who was processing the Tianya Pavilion information in his room, heard his mother's voice and was so frightened that he stuffed all the information under the table. As soon as he stuffed it, he heard Qiu Meng open the door and walk in.
Where did that kid Ling Mo go? He didn't know where to stop him for a moment.
Ling Li complained for a few words before his mind returned to what Qiu Meng said. His eyes suddenly became dull due to extreme shock, and he asked tremblingly: "Mother... what did you say?!"
Qiu Meng's face was full of joy, and he quickly spread the imperial edict in front of Ling Li, with black characters written clearly on yellow silk.
"Su Li and I will choose a good time and auspicious day to get married?"
Ling Li looked confused. His mind seemed to be lost at this moment. He originally thought that there would be no possibility between him and Su Li in this life, but he didn't want an imperial edict to suddenly fall from the sky.
He never expected that he and Su Li would get married in such a ridiculous way.
"Master!"
Ling Mo rushed in with a trace of weirdness and joy on his face. When he saw his wife was there, he immediately swallowed his words. It seemed that the young master already knew.
It's just... Will Miss Su Li... agree to such a marriage
