After a silent night, the next day, Wufu received the imperial edict of marriage. Although it was somewhat peculiar, considering that Ah Jiu was a foreign prince, yet the Emperor of Nanyue granted the marriage, neither party said anything, and others would not speak much either, at most they would privately express some bitterness.
Following the edict, Yan Er, representing Ah Jiu's side, brought an official from the Beiyan Ministry of Rites to Changqing Residence to propose to Madam Zhou. This left Madam Zhou flustered and helpless, prompting her to invite Wufu's mentor Old Mr. Meng to discuss the matter.
The news that a Beiyan official had gone to Wufu's home to propose quickly spread throughout Changan City. This move seemed urgent but more like it was well-prepared. Everyone was eager to see what the betrothal gifts from Beiyan would be.
Meanwhile, the two involved were hiding in the house next to Changqing Residence, whispering sweet words to each other.
