After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 881 - 877: Imperial Betrothal

Three days later.

Zhao Family.

The doctor is treating Young Master Zhao with silver needles and changing his medicine.

Although the formula of the ointment is unknown, Su Jin taught the doctor how to use the silver needle, fearing the doctor might forget, she even wrote it down.

Just this small display of skill has greatly benefited the doctor.

With the Commandery Princess of the contemporary and the Princess Consort Zhenbei aiding in leg treatment, the doctor dared not be careless with Young Master Zhao.

Just as the doctor was applying the needle, a maid rushed in, saying, "Madam, Young Master, someone from the palace has come to announce an edict, asking you to quickly receive it."

Mrs. Zhao was stunned.

Young Master Zhao’s body moved slightly, the doctor’s silver needle missed the acupuncture point, causing him to gasp in pain.

Mrs. Zhao quickly said, "Don’t panic, don’t panic, let the doctor continue with the needle treatment, I’ll go out and see."

Mrs. Zhao’s heart trembled.

A few days ago, the Emperor had sent a eunuch, and gifted the Zhao Family a pair of Jade Ruyi.

The Zhao Family, somewhat anxious for days, finally felt a bit relieved.

In the entire town, no one had received a gift from the Emperor, the Zhao Family was delighted and hosted a banquet for three days.

Why has another imperial edict come again?

Mrs. Zhao hurried to greet, the eunuch frowned at not seeing Young Master Zhao.

Old Master Zhao looked at Mrs. Zhao and asked, "Where’s Fungfung? Why didn’t he come with you?"

Mrs. Zhao quickly replied, "The doctor is currently treating Fungfung with needles and changing his medicine, the Princess Consort Zhenbei didn’t mention if there would be problems if interrupted, so I boldly came first, and ask the eunuch to wait a bit."

As soon as Mrs. Zhao finished speaking, the steward handed a silver banknote to the eunuch.

The eunuch did not accept the silver banknote, smiling, "It is no inconvenience for Young Master Zhao, I’ll wait a moment."

With gracious demeanor.

The Zhao Family looked at each other, it seemed not to be bad news?

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the sound of a wheelchair rolling was heard.

Two servants carried Young Master Zhao who was seated in a wheelchair inside, the eunuch, drinking tea, quickly stood up.

As he stood, including Old Master Zhao, all of the Zhao Family stood up.

Young Master Zhao wanted to get up and kneel, the eunuch said, "Young Master Zhao has difficulty with his legs, it’s fine to receive the edict seated in the wheelchair."

Young Master Zhao felt a bit overwhelmed with favor.

The Zhao Family knelt down.

The eunuch publicly announced the imperial edict.

The edict praised Young Master Zhao, then praised Princess Fuqing, stating they are a perfect match; the Emperor grants them marriage, waiting for Young Master Zhao’s leg to heal, the Astronomical Bureau will select an auspicious day for their wedding.

This marriage-granting edict stunned everyone.

The eunuch closed the edict, seeing Young Master Zhao unresponsive, smiled, "Young Master Zhao, quickly accept the edict."

Young Master Zhao snapped out of his stupor and hurriedly received the edict.

The eunuch congratulated the Zhao Family.

The Zhao Family’s smiles looked more forced than crying.

Although Young Master Zhao saved Princess Fuqing, the Zhao Family indeed didn’t treat her well, even maids dared to scold her and order her around.

If she held a grudge, would Zhao Family have good days ahead?

Moreover, Princess Fuqing is the Nanliang Princess, the Emperor arranged her marriage with Young Master Zhao...

Mrs. Zhao worried that one day her son would be taken to Nanliang.

How can the small arms and legs of Zhao Family compete against Prince Jin of Nangang’s solid foundation?

Old Master Zhao couldn’t bear parting with his son, he said, "After the wedding..."

His throat seemed stuck with sticky rice, mumbling and shivering.

The eunuch utterly confused, asked, "What does Old Master Zhao want to say?"

Old Master Zhao took a deep breath, asking, "I, I’m asking if after my son and Princess Fuqing marry, will they go to Nanliang to live?"

The eunuch chuckled, "Old Master Zhao is overthinking, Princess Fuqing is the daughter of Princess Jiuling, the war between Nanliang and Daqi has just begun, Prince Jing is not returning to Nanliang for now, let alone the Commandery Princess and Prince Consort?"

Biological daughter?

Not an adopted daughter?

Mrs. Zhao worried she heard wrong, whispered to Old Master Zhao, "How is she the biological daughter?"

Old Master Zhao vaguely understood why the Heir of Prince Zhenbei and Princess Consort Zhenbei would personally seek Princess Fuqing.

If she was merely a Nanliang Princess, they wouldn’t bother.

But if she is Princess Jiuling’s own flesh and blood, the situation changes.

Princess Jiuling is the current Emperor’s full sister, the biological aunt of Princess Consort Zhenbei, making Princess Fuqing her own cousin.

Just now, the steward gave the eunuch a silver banknote worth one hundred taels, now the eunuch disclosed such important news, isn’t one hundred taels too little?

The steward handed over two hundred taels.

The eunuch happily accepted them.

Though it’s still gifting money, the timing changes its significance.

Before, it was bribing the eunuch, now it’s sharing the joy.

Accepting this money is fine.

After congratulating, the eunuch said, "The duty is complete, I shall return to the Capital to report, farewell."

Old Master Zhao personally escorted the eunuch out of the mansion.

The Zhao Family was delighted, Second Madam Zhao laughed, "The Emperor gifted Zhao Family a pair of Jade Ruyi, we held a banquet for three days, this time for the marriage arrangement, should we host it for seven days to make it sufficient?"

If the eunuch hadn’t shared Princess Fuqing’s real identity, the Zhao Family would certainly be filled with dread.

Now, only joy remains.

But Young Master Zhao didn’t seem equally happy, looking at the edict in his hand, scenes of Su Jin treating his leg and Xie Jingchen’s dark face flashed in his mind...

Young Master Zhao sitting in the wheelchair daydreamed.

Young Master Zhao, having never seen an edict, approached wanting to look.

Just as his hand touched the edict, Old Master Zhao scolded him.

This edict cannot be touched casually; if damaged, it would be disrespectful to the Emperor.

This is Zhao Family’s celebration, a glorious event, the edict must be enshrined in the ancestral hall, reported to the ancestors.

Young Master Zhao pouted, looking at Young Master Zhao, "Big brother, when will you go to the Capital City?"

Growing up, he hadn’t seen what the Capital City looks like, he wanted to go play in the Capital City.

Young Master Zhao purely wanted to piggyback on his big brother’s opportunity to visit the Capital City, but this brought a reminder to Old Master Zhao.

Though Zhao Family’s roots are in the town, Princess Fuqing marrying into Zhao Family wouldn’t presumably stay in this small town.

Recently, the Zhao Family considered establishing a presence in the Capital City, yet leaving their homeland is difficult, and the Capital City isn’t easily accessible, a fallen tile could hit several noble individuals.

Each of whom ranks higher than the Zhao Family.

Fearing entering the Capital City and being devoured whole, the Zhao Family restrained this thought, seeking peace in their own corner.

Now, the Emperor marries Princess Fuqing to Young Master Zhao, making Zhao Family part of the royal family.

This status cannot compare with those nobles, but also, not everyone can bully them.

Old Master Zhao felt this is a good opportunity, and so did Old Master Zhao.

The Zhao Family needs a courtyard in the Capital City, and it must be grand and imposing.

Mrs. Zhao said, "The Emperor conferred marriage, with Fungfung’s legs inconvenient, it’s fitting to enter the palace to express gratitude, and besides, Princess Consort Zhenbei’s ointment will run out soon..."

Mrs. Zhao feared Noble Lady Su Jin might be too busy to remember the ointment need for her son.

Above all else, this was the priority.

Though Young Master Zhao is small, he understood, joyfully waved his arms and legs, "Oh, oh, finally I can go to the Capital City to play!"
