Furthermore, on that day, Prince Zhan and Nangong Waner rode in the same carriage out of the palace, and on the way, it was extremely swaggering, as though they were afraid that no one would know that Nangong Waner was sitting in her carriage.
At first, Nangong Waner did not discover anything, he only felt that Zi Ye's driving skills had retreated, why was it that the carriage became slower and slower, slower than the people on the road?
Initially, Nangong Waner wanted to ask Zi Ye if he could learn how to quickly drive a horse carriage when he wasn't free, but he was afraid that Zi Ye would be too thin-skinned and be embarrassed if she said that. Nangong Waner endured it a bit, but didn't say anything. Nangong Waner pondered for a while, and then thought.
On one hand, he looked like a tortoise that was crawling on the ground. On the other hand, he seemed to be especially anxious to get on the road, as he continuously shouted, ”The Prince Zhang and Assistant Minister’s Residence's Miss Nangong are in the carriage, those who are not working, please quickly move aside. The Prince Zhang and Assistant Minister’s Residence's Miss Nangong are in the carriage, those who are not working, please quickly move aside.” From time to time, Zi Ye would shout these words.
Nangong Waner had thought that there were a lot of people on the road, but he opened the curtain with great curiosity and peeked his head out of the carriage.
”Aiya, aiya, is this Nangong Waner? It really is sitting inside the carriage, it really is sitting in the same carriage as Prince Zhang! ” The surrounding crowd gradually broke out into a flurry of discussion. On the way, they followed quite a few onlookers.
Nangong Waner did not understand why there were so many people gathered on the streets in this cold weather.
His family's prince was going to marry his wife. He was happy, and wanted to let the whole world know immediately.
In the end, the Prince Zhang was unable to control her excitement and led Nangong Waner directly to the Assistant Minister’s Residence with an imperial edict.
As someone who believed himself to have transcended from the modern world, Nangong Waner did not know the procedure of the imperial edict. He only knew that if Chu Xiuhan wanted to talk about marriage, the matter of marriage was written on the imperial edict.
Therefore, when Nangong Waner went into the courtyard to call people, he hesitantly said to the Assistant Minister couple, ”The Prince Zhang is here to announce the imperial edict.”
Assistant Minister and his wife were shocked. What kind of imperial edict was it that the Prince Zhan himself would have to announce to them? According to the customs, all the eunuchs in the palace would come to the palace to pass the imperial edict.
”Wan Er, do you know what is written on the imperial edict?” Lord Assistant Minister asked, puzzled.
Nangong Waner was a bit embarrassed. He couldn't possibly say that Chu Xiuhan was thick-skinned enough to personally read the imperial edict and marry her into the Duke's Palace, right? ”I … I don't know. ”
Seeing Nangong Waner's hesitant look, Lord Assistant Minister thought in his heart, this is bad, this girl must have gotten into trouble again.
”Don't tell me he's here to rob the residence?” Lord Assistant Minister really thought that Nangong Waner had caused some trouble in the palace, so he brought some people to search the palace. He was very nervous as he ran all the way to the front hall.
Seeing that, Madam Yang also followed worriedly.
Lord Assistant Minister worriedly arrived at the front hall, but he saw Prince Zhang standing there alone, and he was even laughing a little … Filled with happiness? Would the Prince Zhang still laugh?
As long as it was not a family extortion, Lord Assistant Minister would be at ease. Lord Assistant Minister also smiled on the surface, and asked respectfully, ”Sorry to bother you, Prince Zhang. Do you want to read out the imperial edict now?”
Prince Zhan felt that it was inappropriate. After all, he was about to become Lord Assistant Minister's son-in-law, and asking his father-in-law to kneel down and receive the decree was not appropriate.
He even squeezed out a smile that he thought was very kind on his face, looked at Lord Assistant Minister and said, ”Lord Assistant Minister, in two months, I will come to marry Wan Er.”
When the Lord Assistant Minister heard Prince Zhan's words, his expression instantly changed as if he had been struck by lightning, and he couldn't react for a long time. Even though Madam Yang was shocked in his heart, he had already known about the situation here, so he shouldn't have been so shocked.
