Chapter 153 A match made in heaven
After saying this, the empress dowager raised her head and looked at the emperor with kind eyes, as if expecting his further affirmation and support.
Emperor Tiansheng frowned slightly, revealing a trace of worry, and said softly: "But I am worried that Wanyin may not be willing in her heart! After all, this is her lifelong event, and we should fully respect her personal ideas." He knew very well that a forced melon is not sweet.
The Queen Mother smiled slightly, as if she had expected the Emperor to have such doubts. She responded with a firm and confident tone: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. I know Wanyin well. She has always been kind, well-behaved and sensible. I think she will not refuse this marriage. Moreover, Shijun is not only handsome and elegant, but also the eldest son of the Zhenguo Mansion. He has a prominent status. He and our Wanyin are a perfect match made in heaven!"
When Emperor Tiansheng heard this, his worries were slightly relieved, but he was still a little uneasy. However, seeing that the Queen Mother was so confident, he said no more and only said, "Since it is what the Queen Mother said, I am relieved. In this case, let's settle this matter. I will order people to prepare for the palace banquet. When the time comes, we must make sure that this wedding is grand and lively."
At this moment, Zhan Shijun and Wanyin were still unaware of these arrangements in the palace. As usual, they often invited each other to stroll by the lake and enjoy the beautiful lake view. The feelings between the two became deeper and deeper as time went by. However, just as they were immersed in their sweet love, the gears of fate had quietly begun to turn. No one could predict what kind of ending was waiting for them... Perhaps a happy and harmonious relationship, or endless ups and downs? Everything was still unknown.
It was a fine and sunny day, and Wanyin was strolling leisurely in the palace as usual. Just as she was enjoying the tranquility, she suddenly heard a whisper. It turned out that a group of palace maids were whispering and talking.
"Have you heard? The emperor plans to marry the princess to the legitimate son of the Duke of Zhenguo, Zhan Shijun!" one of the palace maids said in a low voice.
"Is this true? The Prince of Zhenguo and the Tenth Princess, they are truly a match made in heaven!" another palace maid echoed.
Hearing this, Wanyin's heart was shocked and her face was full of astonishment. What on earth was going on? She had never heard of such a thing! So she rushed to the emperor's place in a hurry to find out.
When the emperor saw Wanyin rushing over, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes. He frowned slightly, opened his lips slightly, and told her the truth slowly and heavily: "In fact, I also want to hear your opinion on this matter. After all, you and Zhan Shijun have been getting along very well for some time, and now it is time for you to get married. In addition, whether in terms of family background or social status, Zhan Shijun is on par with you." After saying these words, the emperor sighed deeply.
After hearing what the emperor said, Wanyin burst into tears. She couldn't accept the fact that her marriage needed someone else to intervene and arrange it! The person she loved deeply in her heart was clearly Zhan Shixuan!
Facing the current situation, Wanyin felt extremely painful and confused. She didn't know how to fight against this trick of fate, nor did she know where to go in the future...
However, with her current strength, she did not have enough capital to fight against her father. So, she lowered her head and said softly: "Father, I will obey your will."
Emperor Tiansheng was very pleased to see this, because he always preferred Wanyin's gentle and obedient appearance. At this moment, he showed a rare loving expression on his face and said to Wanyin: "Father will definitely not treat you badly. Zhan Shijun will become a great man in the future and be awarded the title of Duke of Zhenguo. In addition, he has made great military achievements and has a bright future. Even the Queen Mother loves you very much and thinks that Zhan Shijun is a rare good son-in-law in the world!"
Faced with such a situation, Wanyin had no choice but to swallow her anger and grievances, kneel down with tears in her eyes, and thank the emperor and his wife, saying, "I am grateful for the kindness of my father and grandmother."
After saying this, he burst into tears.
