章 631: He Has Come to Our Doorstep

Xie Niushan could not understand. His daughter was just an ordinary official's daughter, how could she be a noble?

As her father, he still had to kneel, how could his daughter be exempt from the formalities?

However, before he could regain his senses, he heard the old eunuch cough dryly, pinch his throat, and read the imperial edict.

"In accordance with the imperial edict, the former General Xie Niushan's eldest daughter Xie Qiao is skilled and generous, kind and honest, has outstanding looks, and is intelligent and capable. His Majesty is very pleased to hear that... she is a match made in heaven with our Crown Prince, and I hereby betroth this daughter to the Crown Prince as his wife. The ceremony will be jointly handled by the Ministry of Rites and the directorate of astronomy, and the marriage will be arranged on a suitable date!

"Also, the Emperor has specially gifted some treasures to the future Princess Consort."
