Betrothal gifts
An eunuch from the palace came with a imperial edict and everyone had to kneel down to accept it.
In the edict the emperor didn't mention which children they should send as to send a hint that they can even send a concubine's daughter. Song Huaishi understood the deep meaning behind the edict and accepted it.
Even though the offer was very good but Song Huaishi couldn't bear to send his beloved daughter there to the tiger's den.
King Lan, actual name Chu Lan. Prince Chu's youngest son and also the most cruel and merciless king. He obtained his King title at the age of 16 for his bravery in the border.
But he was mostly known for his cruel and merciless nature. People say that he doesn't even blink to kill someone if they disobey or get wrong with any of his orders.
Because of his cruel nature there was no crime in Jiangnan city. Even though there was no crimes but that doesn't mean people lives there happily. Rumors has it that the people had to do every thing like they r on a thin ice bridge. They can't make any mistakes. So they r on edge every second.
Jiangnan situates at the most north side from the capital. The weather there mostly is winter.
The King Lan who was going marry now was 28 years old now and now he is sitting on his study listening to the shadow guards.
..........
Lord, the decree has been sent!
Chu Lan (King Lan)
Whom r they sending?
..........
Its still mysterious!!
Chu Lan (King Lan)
*Frowns*
..........
This servant couldn't find it! But its strange! The atmosphere around them is quite unnatural!
Chu Lan (King Lan)
What do u mean?
..........
Like normally they would be unhappy but this doesn't seems so for them. They r quite normal like they really want to send their daughter here!
Chu Lan (King Lan)
It's because they r not sending their daughter! Let it be!! Its better they won't be sending someone from their family. It would be easy to settle this matter peacefully!
Chu Lan (King Lan)
(They even dare to deceive the emperor! Lets see whom they r gonna send!)
The wedding preparations r going very hastily. Even though the Song family didn't want to decorate the house for Song Rui's wedding but since its the cruel King's wedding they didn't dare to lack behind.
Song Rui
(They r making a sacrificial ceremony so grand! Its really laughable!)
The betrothal gift from King Lan's side also came and shockingly the amount was very great.
The Song family didn't understand that why the King Lan send so many precious gifts for the concubine's daughter! If Song Huaishi could see the deep meaning of the emperor then there is no doubt that King Lan would also understand.
But they were also very happy as they didn't expect that they would get so many presents.
