Chapter 633: When Are We Getting Married?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although Liu Shimei felt that he might not understand her words, she still had to say it, “I suspect that my father might not include those betrothal gifts in the dowry for me to bring back to the Imperial Residence.”

“It doesn’t matter!” Huangfu Lingyao was afraid she would be upset, so he hurriedly said, “Then let’s forget about it.”

Betrothal gifts were originally meant for the bride’s parents. If Liu Fuyun was greedy, it didn’t matter if he didn’t give them.

The issue he cared about was: Why didn’t anyone inform him about the exchanged marriage decree?

Why!

He, a person about to get married, only found out now that he was already betrothed!

Liu Shimei took a deep breath and said, “I will talk to Master Grand Chancellor about it later. We should get as much as we can. Don’t let it go to waste!” Of course, right?

After all, she didn’t have a biological mother to advise her, nor did she have any older brothers. She would definitely make sure to extract as much money as possible from the Liu family!

Huangfu Lingyao was even more concerned. “When will we get married, Wife? Have we set a date?”

“Yeah, it’s on the 16th of September,” Liu Shimei nodded.

!!..

To avoid overlapping with the Crown Prince’s wedding, their marriage had to be scheduled later and with some time in between. The auspicious date chosen by the Imperial Astronomical Bureau was the 16th of September, and the imperial decree had already been issued.

Huangfu Lingyao looked utterly frustrated. “Why didn’t they inform me!”

Liu Shimei didn’t say anything, just looked at him, her heart full of pity for him!

Originally, these preparations should have been done by the groom-to-be. But he was clueless. The Emperor and Empress bypassed the groom and arranged their wedding date through the Internal Affairs Department, Ministry of Rites, and the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, and almost completed all the procedures without him knowing.

And he was kept completely in the dark!

“Wife, I’m really angry!” Huangfu Lingyao looked at her with a face full of grievances, squinting at her and said, “Why didn’t you tell me?”

Liu Shimei reached out and touched his face, saying, “I only found out last night. I actually wanted to tell you, but I got busy with other things this morning and forgot!”

She had been extremely busy lately. If it weren’t for this trip, she would have completely forgotten about this matter.

Huangfu Lingyao pursed his lips, sighing dramatically, “It feels like it’s going to take a long time!”

Two months!

It felt unbearable!

“I don’t think it will be too long,” Liu Shimei said. Her idea of ‘long’ was different from the way a silly dog might think of it.

With the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, it was almost time for the Crown Prince to make his choice for a consort.

So far, Liu Yan’er was still recuperating at home. Liu Fuyun prohibited her from going out, avoiding contact with others, and not receiving guests. She could definitely endure until the end.

As for Zhang Miaozhen, their family’s attitude was not proactive.

Her lack of enthusiasm didn’t mean that Miaolinglong was not enthusiastic!

In that case, Zhang Miaozhen was in danger!

The next time she went to show the old lady her leg, she had to have a good talk with Zhang Miaozhen and warn her about Miao Linglong.

Huangfu Lingyao saw the worry in her eyes and asked, “Wife, what are you thinking? Why do you seem unhappy?”

Before she could answer, he suddenly realized, “Ah, I know, are you also unhappy because you have to wait for such a long time?”

Liu Shimei smiled wryly and explained, “I’m just worried about Miaozhen.”

“Worried about what she might do!” Huangfu Lingyao snorted and said, “Zhang Miaomiao is well-loved at home. She has her grandfather, her father, her mother, and her uncles, all treating her well!”

Liu Shimei sighed and said, “You’re right.”

In fact, from another perspective, his words meant: the Zhang family is not to be trifled with, and Zhang Miaozhen is not someone without love and care. Could she not be aware of the need to actively fight for the position of the Crown Princess?

Of course, at this moment, Liu Shimei couldn’t have imagined that no matter how careful one is, things can still turn out unexpectedly!
