Chapter 324 Plum Blossom Roasting 23
"Prince Rui, it should be the second prince, Jun Ruxuan, right? I heard that he was born to Concubine Jing, only an hour later than the prince..." Li Mingyao said.

"Yes, Ama also said this. Back then, the emperor promised that whoever gave birth to a son would be the queen. Tsk tsk, it was a little too late, and the fate would be completely different."

"Keep your voice down, this is the imperial palace, if these words are listened to by interested people, it will cause unnecessary trouble." Li Wanru said worriedly, but fortunately, the three of them spoke very quietly, and no one paid attention to what they said. something.

When everyone returned to Yongshou Palace, they dispersed separately. Li Mingyao returned to the room, a little preoccupied.

"Master, what's the matter?" Xia Yun asked beside him.

"How long have you been in the palace?"

"The slave has been in the palace for five years"

"Then have you ever seen a lame man?"

"Let the maidservant think about it?" Xia Yun pondered.

"I have seen it," Xia Lan said suddenly.

"You know, then tell me who it is?" Li Mingyao asked excitedly.

"It seems that there is such a person, but I don't remember who he is." Xia Lan scratched her head and said embarrassedly.

Hey, this clue was broken again, Li Mingyao lay down on the bed a little disappointed.

Royal Garden

Today, the emperor entertained the ministers in the imperial garden, and all the beautiful women were also brought to the imperial garden.

This was the first time they met the minister, the prince and other princes.

Xiu Nu was a little excited in her heart, and the bolder ones secretly watched the men present.

"Ama Erniang, you are here too." The show girls went back to their parents and sat down.

"Today is a big day to decide your fate, Wanru, you have to be mentally prepared." Mrs. Li quietly shook her daughter's hand.

"My daughter knows that no matter who she is with in the future, she won't let Er Niang worry about her anymore."

"Good boy." After Madam Li finished speaking, she turned her eyes to Li Mingyao: "With your temperament, I feel quite at ease..."

"Yes" Li Mingyao nodded slightly.

"My heart is very happy, all my lovers are happy together, and you can enjoy yourself to the fullest." The emperor raised his glass.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," everyone raised their glasses.

Next came singing and dancing performances. The banquet was very lively, with the sound of silk and bamboo playing incessantly.

But Li Mingyao knew that this was just a superficial phenomenon, in fact, everyone was very bored, and the conversation was just perfunctory.

It wasn't until the banquet was about to end that the emperor got to the point: "I have a banquet today, and there are still a few things to announce, my lord, please read the imperial decree on my behalf."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Man picked up the imperial decree that had been prepared and began to read: "By God's blessing, the emperor's decree said: Today there is Li Wanru, the daughter of the Minister of War, who is gentle, virtuous, intelligent and beautiful. She is the royal daughter-in-law. Give marriage to the crown prince, and choose a day to marry, hereby."

"Thank you, Lord Long En." Li Wanru and Prince Jun Moyan went forward to thank each other.

Wang Man read a few more imperial decrees, Qingning was given to the second prince Jun Ruxuan, and several beautiful girls were given to the minister's son.

The show girls who have not been given marriages are all given the title of Promise, which is the lowest grade. As for what to be called in the future, it depends on the fate of the individual.

This is a marriage bestowed by the emperor, and some beautiful women are unwilling and dare not show it.

"The banquet is over here, let's leave." Wang Man's thin voice announced the end of the banquet.

Everyone left the banquet one after another, and Xiu Nu, who was given a marriage, would go home with her parents and choose a date to get married.

"Sister, you have become a princess now. With a good marriage, you will be happy." Li Mingyao was in a complicated mood, but she still stepped forward to bless Li Wanru.
