Chapter 73.1 - Bestowing Marriage Upon Nalan Ye (1/2)
After sending off Empress Wang, Luo Qing Luan felt relaxed all over. She calculated all sorts of ways before she thought of this method. Right now, Empress Wang’s mind was filled only with the thought of getting pregnant. She simply didn’t have the leisure to be concerned about the crown prince consort. She finally could relax.
However, something that Luo Qing Luan didn’t anticipated very quickly happened. Merely ten days after Nangong Qing lead the troops and left for the border, an imperial edict arrived.
“By the Mandate of Heaven, the emperor states, the daughter of General Luo Cheng, Luo Qing Luan, is good-looking and intelligent elegant and well-mannered. We are extremely pleased and especially bestowed her in marriage to the Prince of Chu, Nalan Ye, who will take the responsibility of finding a propitious day for the wedding. By the emperor.”
Eunuch Wang, who brought the decree, smiled very politely as he handed the imperial edict over to Luo Cheng, whose soul had left him. Eunuch Wang said fawningly, “General Luo, congratulations! Eh? Is General Luo just too happy? I understand. To have his majesty grant the second Miss Luo a marriage with His Lordship the Prince of Chu, it truly is a big happy occasion. If I were you, General Luo, I’m afraid I’ll also be the same, I’ll have difficulty speaking.”
“This……it actually is Prince, His Lordship the Prince of Chu?” Luo Cheng was so shocked that his brain completely blanked out.
Once Eunuch Wang left, Luo Cheng quickly unrolled the imperial edict. Suddenly, a delicate little hand quickly stretched over, practically fighting to snatch away the edict from his hands.
Just as he was getting angry, Luo Cheng saw that it was Luo Qing Luan. Whatever temper he had immediately disappeared. “Qing Luan, His Majesty bestowed you to the Prince of Chu in marriage. Were you aware of this matter beforehand?” After hesitating a little, he still asked this question.
The Prince of Chu was equally honorable, favored, and respected, with his position not lower than the crown prince’s. But once Luo Cheng thought of the Prince of Chu’s title of ‘Iceberg Prince’, as well as that imposing manner, even if it was he was the one who had climbed to this door as in-laws, was it possible for him to still dare to flaunt a father-in-laws’ superior authority in front of Nalan Ye?
How could Luo Qing Luan still be in the mood to answer Luo Cheng’s question?
She was so angry that her hands were trembling. She was unable to understand no matter what. Why was it that when everything was going well, this kind of thing actually happened. She was surprisingly bestowed upon Nalan Ye in marriage? What in the world happened that she didn’t know about?
Unable to stay any longer, she wanted to immediately look for Nalan Ye to get to the bottom of the matter.
Casting away Luo Cheng, she hastily rushed to the Prince of Chu’s mansion. Without any trace of politeness, Luo Qing Luan beat on the door, then kicked it when there was no response.
With a squeak, the door opened. The doorkeeper was about to get angry, but once he saw Luo Qing Luan, he promptly changed to an expression of a fawning smiling face. “Prince’s Consort, you’ve come……”
Hearing the address ‘Prince’s Consort’, Luo Qing Luan nearly exploded from anger. Furious, she entered a study. Nalan Ye was sitting by the side of his desk. He looked at her while smilingly while saying shamelessly, “You’ve come so quickly. Did you find out that you’re getting married to me and is too happy?”
