Chapter 217 Pei wants to take back the previous chapter
The congratulations didn't last long, after all, this was in the palace.
The congratulations from everyone and Song Junyan's greetings with his brothers and sisters were the last step. At this moment, no matter whether it was sincere or false, he was surrounded by several brothers, all of whom congratulated him with a smile.
As for Lu Xinran, the female relatives were not as straightforward as the men. They congratulated him a few times in a sour tone and then dispersed and went back to their homes.
Lu Xinran also followed Pei and the others to leave the palace, but before leaving, she felt Song Junyan's gaze. She turned around, hesitated for a moment, and nodded slightly.
If he wants to talk, then they will talk again.
Pei was more worried than happy, and Song Junyan's coming-of-age ceremony shocked everyone who was watching.
No one could guess what the emperor was really thinking. Even Lu Xinran, who possessed a heaven-defying system, only got an ambiguous answer.
If the emperor favors Song Junyan and wants him to succeed, then what happened today can be considered as building momentum for him and helping him to gain more weight in the hearts of court officials.
But if it was just to give the other princes a sense of urgency and let them try their own ways to seize the throne.
She didn't even dare to think about what kind of life Lu Xinran would live after marrying him.
It would be fine if the couple worked together, but... She tilted her head to glance at her granddaughter who was still fiddling with the imperial edict, and she felt so worried that her hair was about to fall out.
"Xinran girl, do you understand the importance of the marriage?"
Once the decree was issued, even the emperor had no room for regret.
Lu Xinran came back to her senses and met Pei's concerned gaze. After thinking for a moment, she replied seriously, "Grandmother, the Fourth Prince, no, now he is the King of Wei. He asked me to meet him tomorrow."
"Meet?"
Pei frowned, but then she thought of what Song Junyan might be looking for her for.
"That's good. If there's a chance, it might be better to make some things clear earlier."
With their thoughts as a bridge, there shouldn't be too many misunderstandings between the two of them in the future.
And in her opinion, Song Junyan was the prince with the best character among them.
Perhaps it was because he lost his biological mother at a young age and saw a lot of the fickleness of the world in the palace, so his heart was unusually clear and sincere.
He was willing to make a promise to her before the imperial decree granting marriage was issued, which was better than most men in the capital.
Sister Lu Xintong carefully took the imperial edict from Lu Xinran, unfolded it carefully, and read it happily by the car window.
"Second sister, are we going to call you Princess Wei from now on?"
Really fantasy!
They actually have a sister who is a princess!
Lu Xinran thought of the title Song Junyan was given, and replied with a smile: "It should be the Princess of Wei."
"Wow! Second sister is awesome!"
The exclamations instantly made the car lively. Pei looked at their innocent and carefree appearance and vaguely remembered what she looked like before she got married.
At that time, she had her parents, brothers and sisters by her side, and her life was as carefree and joyful as it is now.
After returning to the Lu Mansion, Zhao jumped off the carriage and looked at the imperial edict in Lu Xinran's hand with a complicated expression.
She always knew that she would have a prince as her son-in-law, but she never thought that the one marrying Song Junyan would be the daughter who was incompatible with her in every way.
When she met Lu Xinran's sudden gaze, she immediately snorted proudly, raised her leg and stepped over the gate first.
Pei looked helplessly at her daughter-in-law who seemed to never grow a brain, and wanted to take back her previous words.
This daughter-in-law... is so stupid that you can't tell whether she is really kind-hearted or not.
After returning home, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Lu Xinlan pulled her to his yard and asked her seriously.
"Sister, the imperial decree of marriage has come to your hands. Have you decided whether you really want to marry him?"
Lu Xinran scratched his hair and sighed with some melancholy: "I don't know either."
The emperor's thoughts could not be seen in the booklet, so she had no idea what the emperor's purpose was today.
She didn't care whether Song Junyan would become the emperor or Prince Xiaoyao in the end. She only cared whether they could get away with it safely in the end.
"Sister, what do you think I should choose? If I run away from the marriage, maybe the result would be worse than marrying Song Junyan."
She always had a vague feeling that running away was just her wishful thinking.
Her last sentence already showed which direction the scale in her heart leaned towards.
Lu Xinlan nodded in understanding and helped her add weight.
"Okay, then I'll find a way to help you arrange your dowry starting tomorrow."
Marrying a princess is different from marrying into an ordinary family, especially since the private property under her name is pitifully small.
How could she bear to be laughed at again about her dowry?
"Is the dowry not urgent? Won't grandma help with this?"
Lu Xinran didn't have much intuitive feeling about these things, and now he was a little confused when he heard her suddenly mention it.
"How can we not be anxious? The dowries of noble ladies in the capital are prepared from the moment they are born. It's too late for us to start preparing now."
Lu Xinlan knew that Zhao had already arranged a dowry for her original body a long time ago. What she had to do now was to find a way to make Zhao willing to give it to Lu Xinran.
As if she had guessed what she was thinking, she raised her hand and patted Lu Xinlan's shoulder.
"Don't worry about me. No matter how hard we try, you or I will never become exactly like the people here.
"Sister, let's just follow our heart.
"You worry too much about everything, and you will get sick if you worry too much.
"You said you would always be with me, so you must take good care of your health."
Lu Xinlan felt warm in her heart after hearing what she said, and she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will always be with you."
How could the other person not be important in her heart?
In the cold time and space, they will always be each other's comfort.
Lu Xinran left with a smile. Today in the palace, she asked the system to load Song Junyan's booklet. She wanted to go back and take a good look at that guy to see if he really wanted to be the emperor.
After she left, Lu Xinlan immediately changed her clothes and went straight to Zhao's room.
But before she reached the gate of the courtyard, she heard people say that Zhao was called away by Pei, so she immediately changed direction and headed straight for Zhaoyun Courtyard.
Zhao and Kong were both in Pei's room.
The imperial decree granting the marriage has been issued, and it is a foregone conclusion that Lu Xinran will marry as a princess.
The birth of a princess in the palace is a very glorious event in the eyes of outsiders.
Therefore, whether for the sake of making Lu Xinran live a happier life in the future or for the face of the Lu family, her dowry cannot be small.
But if you want to give more dowry, you have to negotiate where and how to pay it.
Mrs. Pei looked at her two daughters-in-law and said, "Xinran's marriage is now finalized. The prince said before that His Majesty intends for them to get married before the end of the year. We don't have much time left to make arrangements."
