274 I Cannot Neglect the People (2/2)

Hearing her tease, Lu Wei burst into a laugh.

…

Five days later,

The palace was in a festive mode. Bright color decoration hung all over the palace, and loud music played outside. The guests chattered among themselves with laughter and smile.

On this day, the ministers from previous Eastern Zhou and Qian Rong attended the grand wedding. After today, the previous Eastern Zhou and Qian Rong will turn to Da Cheng. Though many are anxious at this sudden change, they were anticipating to see how will the new couple rule over the kingdom.

The people from Eastern Zhou, especially, were happy that they soon, will not have to worry much about the lack of food. Most of their land was infertile, and in the past, they will have to rely on trading with people from Da Cheng and Qian Rong.

Their past monarch was overthrown after their attempt to conspire with the previous Emperor of Qian Rong to attack Da Cheng. In the end, their land was seized by Da Cheng.

The people were upset at the previous monarch's stupidity. However, in the first few months that Da Cheng had taken over their land, the people found the Emperor of Da Cheng took care after their welfare.

As long as they did not have to starve and pay a hefty amount of money to eat, the people of Eastern Zhou were happy. Some of them began to rejoice that their past monarch was overthrown.

Seeing how well Da Cheng treated the former Eastern Zhou consoled the people of Qian Rong. At least, they have hope that their people will not be treated unequally.

In the Crown Princess palace, the servants paced back and forth as they busied themselves with the wedding.

Princess Lingchen sat quietly as a servant carefully help her to dry her hair.

At this time, Ah Zhen entered the room with a tray of hair ornaments. Princess Lingchen glanced at the decoration and nodded. Then, Ah Zhen put the tray on the side and walked out again.

”Aren't you nervous?”

The Princess did not dare to turn her head. Only her eyes moved as she looked at Mingyue at her side. To say that she was not nervous would be a lie. Her parents had arranged for her marriage for years, but every time, their plan fell through. There were always excuses for her to delay her marriage, for example, Mingyue's disappearance.

This time, she can no longer avoid and postpone her wedding. Princess Lingchen began to wonder if Mingyue did not disappear on that day, will she still be marrying Lu Wei?

Jiang Mingyue frowned when the Princess did not answer. However, her lips curled into a small smile when she saw the way the Princess was tapping her fingers on the chair.

”It's going to be alright,” Mingyue said.

At this time, the eunuch's high pitched voice could be heard, announcing the Empress's arrival. Princess Lingchen held a hand and waved for the servant to retreat before she stood up to greet her mother.
