"Imperial Brother, the He family are butchers in Nan'an County Town."
"Butchers?"
The Crown Prince's expression was quite something. His own fiancée was the daughter of the Earl of North Border; his elder brother was to marry the daughter of a barbarian king. And now his younger brother was going to wed a butcher's daughter? For a moment, the Crown Prince was at a loss for words and could only look to his Imperial Father.
The Yan Emperor did not rush to answer, his face merely grave.
Ji Chengjue continued, "Imperial Father, before Your son left Nan'an County to return to the capital, my future father-in-law, old Mr. He, told me that the He family might not have much else, but they are never short of cured and smoked meats during the holidays. He said that as long as his old He family has a bite of meat to eat, they would never let Your bowl lack for a speck of grease!"
The Yan Emperor was silent.
