Bestowal of marriage!
The Emperor's second decree was unexpectedly to arrange a marriage for Miao Yi Niang, ordering her to marry the Crown Prince, Xia Ying!
Miao Yi Niang is the one who knows best about the grievances between Xia Ying and Chu Mo. Disregarding whether she was willing, the Emperor's motive alone was enough to shock her: "He's picking peaches even before the tree has been planted? "
Chu Mo was also extremely angry, and greatly disappointed with the Emperor.
In his two encounters with the Emperor, Chu Mo had always felt that as the ruler of Great Xia, the current Emperor was a very enlightened person. In terms of vision, temperament and means, the Crown Prince and others were simply worlds apart from the Emperor.
Despite knowing the grudges between him and the Crown Prince, the Emperor still valued him greatly and dared to use him. This shows the breadth of mind, temperament, and strong self-confidence of a sovereign!
But what does this imperial edict mean?
