章節 9: Royal edict
The second prince can be seen getting ready for the court session in his chamber
"Your highness, rumours had it that the third lady of the prime minister's mansion had risen from the death," said eunuch Li
"Is she? What do you mean she's risen from the death? isn't she faking her death In the first place? she's a cunning woman you know," said Jun
"I don't think she will, considering the fact that she's so much in love with you," said eunuch Li
"Why can't she just die and free me?Why has she come back again?" Jun said with a sad expression
"Sighs, the marriage is still gonna hold your highness," said eunuch Li
"I know, ok? And enough of the marriage stuff, where's Haoyu," Jun asked looking around the room for his friend
"Oh, he had returned to his mansion this morning as soon as he woke up," said eunuch Li
"And he couldn't even wake me up and tell me," said Jun
"He's going to prepare for court this morning," said eunuch Li
"That secretary title actually fit him," Jun said laughing hysterically
"And where's Gang?" Jun asked as he seeks for his presence
"Oh, he's getting the horse ready," said eunuch Li still putting on Jun's robe for him
Jun is ready for the court session and was soon outside riding on his horse with Gang on another horse all the way to the palace
"Long live the king," chorused the king's ministers as they all bowed down while the crown prince and prince Jun also greeted him
"Long live father," they both said
"You can all rise up" said the king
"Your highness, we've won the war against the "xie" kingdom and we bought lot's of goods and slaves," said the minister of war
"Good! you shall be rewarded,"
"Crown prince, how's your wife, I hope the royal grand prince is kicking in her stomach," said the king as he laughed happily
"Yes father, mother and son are both in good health," replied the crown prince
"Congrats to the prime minister on the return of the young lady too, I heard that she had risen from the death," said the king
"Yes your highness, the gods are to be praised for bringing back my daughter to life," replied the prime minister bowing his head
"The engagement to my son, Jun is still valid then,"
"Yes, your highness, we are more than happy to become part of the royal family," said the prime minister with a broad smile
"The wedding shall take place in two days time then, let the young couples enjoy each other company"
"Yes your highness," replied the prime minister
"The court is adjourned then," the king said as he made his way back into his chamber
"Long live the king," chorused the ministers bowing to the king departure
The ministers made their way out of the palace, heading to their various houses while some are still busy chatting
"Guess, there's no way to avoid your marriage with the third lady," said Haoyu coming towards Jun
"Sighs, can you just spare me the talks please, I'm not interested," said Jun who is on the brink of loosing his temper
"Congratulations to you brother," said the crown prince as he joined in the conversation
"Thank you your highness," replied Jun
"Yes! congrats your highness," said Haoyu laughing hysterically as Jun rolled his eyes at him
"Why are you laughing Haoyu? Is anything wrong?" the crown prince asked looking worried
"No your royal highness, I'm just feeling pity for someone here," Haoyu replied bowing his head
"Pity as how?" the crown prince asked
"It's nothing brother, just ignore Haoyu foolishness," Jun said
"Alright, I'll see you on the wedding day, till then take care," said the crown prince as he depart from them with his escorts
"Sighs, don't worry, you can take in many concubine as you want," said Haoyu
"I know, but I don't want any other woman except Mei Zhen," replied Jun sadly
"I understand, but you can't get married to her, it's better to get rid of the feeling sooner," said Haoyu
"Yes, but it's not easy, my love for Mei Zhen would never change," replied Jun
"Alright then, ..let's go home," Haoyu said as he grabbed Jun by his shoulder as they talked their way home
The prime minister's mansion have been busy since the prime minister got home and told them about the great news from the palace. They were still busy celebrating when the king eunuch brought a letter from the palace .
"Hear ye, this is a letter from the palace," he said as all the members of the prime minister manor gathered together and knelt down.
"Miss Yang Mei lien is a virtuous, elegant, outstanding, mannered and cultured woman and hereby is to be married to the second prince and be his consort. Bow down to collect the edict,"
"I accept," Mei lien replied as she came forward and collected the edict
"Alright then, I shall take my leave now," said the king eunuch after handling over the edict to her
"Thank you," the prime minister said as he showed the king eunuch out
"I shall address you as the prince consort in the nearest future," said Yuze happily as others nodded
"Yes my beautiful granddaughter will soon become the prince consort," said old madam Yang happily as she hugged Mei lien
"Errrrrm... Grandmother! can't we decline the marriage proposal?" Mei lien proposed with a fake smile
"What!!! No one refuse the king edict, anyone who does that will face a death penalty child," replied old madam Yang laughing hysterically as she holds Mei lien by her hand leading her to the room as Mr Yang, Mrs yang and Yuze followed with some maids leaving only Mei Zhen with her hand maid
"Bitch!!!" Mei Zhen shouted gritting her teeth
"Calm your anger my lady, they can hear you and I know prince Jun still love you,"
"I know, but I just can't stand that bitch, she's just a pretender, she has always been collecting everything that belongs to me from birth, she acts like she's pure but she's the real devil," said Mei Zhen angrily
"What matters is that the prince still love you, he even sent a letter," said Xiu, her hand maid handling over the letter to her
"Oh, what's it?" Mei Zhen asked as she collected the letter from her hand maid and read it silently
' I'm sorry I couldn't fulfill my promise to you, but I want you to know that my heart would always belong to you, I love you Mei Zhen and I will always do'
"My lady, what does the letter says, it looks like it's a good one," Xiu asked curiously
'Yes, I love you too Jun and nothing would ever come between us, just wait Yang Mei lien, I'll kill you and make my way up to being the prince consort' thought Mei Zhen as she smiled happily
