The whole Li family was currently kneeling in the hall of Li Manor to hear the imperial edict brought by an imperial eunuch from the palace. Everyone's thoughts were different but no one dared to show any expression on their face.
The edict said something which was expected by some present there.
The imperial eunuch in loud and solemn voice read out the imperial edict in his hands.
"The honorable Prime Minister Xi Ying of Imperial court is bestowed matrimony by His Majesty, The Emperor, with the virtuous and honorable daughter of General Li, Rui from the Li Clan on the first full moon of winter. "
Virtuous and honorable.
Even the imperial decree seemed to be mocking the entire Li Clan.
The most surprised person was General Li and Li Rui because they didn't hold any hope for the current bestowed marriage.
Li Rui had not expected that man to be in such an honorable position.
