The case is different for the Chief Academician of the Imperial College. His official rank is indeed not high, and he is far away from the turmoil in the court. It is most appropriate for a girl like this to be a leisurely princess.

Besides, Miss Shangguan has always been an educated and gentle girl. Aren't they a perfect match for Prince Yi, who likes to wield swords?

Furthermore, the Jijiu was in charge of the Imperial Academy.

Although he had no real power, he had many students all over the world. The powerful officials had little contact with him, but many young talents with good names were his students.

In the end, the future still belongs to the young, right?

In general, Prince Yi’s marriage may not be the most dazzling, but it is definitely the most suitable one.

Having said that, Prince Yi grew up with the Crown Prince since childhood, so it is natural that they have a good relationship.

Prince Yi has always followed the Crown Prince's lead and is a clear supporter of the Crown Prince's faction.

With this granted marriage, Prince Yi gets a benefit, but doesn’t that benefit the Crown Prince as well?

After thinking about it this way, it seems that Emperor Yan Ning still prefers the Crown Prince a little more.

After thinking it over for several rounds, the group quickly prepared generous gifts, put on a smiling face and went to several mansions to congratulate.

No matter how great the impact of several imperial edicts was on the nobles and powerful officials, it was not as great as that of Duke Xu's Mansion, which was at the center of the whirlpool of public opinion.

When Duke Xu's mansion received the imperial edict, news had just spread from the palace that Empress Lu had been reprimanded. The family was listening to all that gossip when they suddenly heard from the housekeeper that someone had come to the palace to announce the imperial edict.

The whole family hurriedly changed their clothes and went to the main hall to wait for the imperial edict to be read. Xu Xingyin, who had been imprisoned for some time, finally stepped out of Chenguang Courtyard for the first time in many days.

Despite being under house arrest for so many days, Xu Xingyin didn't look miserable at all. On the contrary, he looked even more bleak because he stayed indoors all the time.

The beautiful brocade dress and proper manners gave her an air of elegance and grace, which almost made Shi's teeth break.

Unfortunately, Xu Xingyin was a person without good taste. He knew clearly that she didn't like her, but he still deliberately hung around in front of her.

If the eunuch in front of the emperor wasn't here right now, she would really teach Xu Xingyin a lesson!

After the eunuch who announced the imperial edict finished reading it out in a shrill voice, the entire main hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Some were surprised, some were shocked, some were angry, and some were jealous. Only the Seventh Miss Xu remained calm and maintained her original posture.

She is calm, pretty, and smart. She is indeed the top girl in Duke Xu's mansion!

The eunuch who announced the decree thought.

After all, the family had seen big scenes before. Xu Xiuzhu was the first to react. He took the decree respectfully and politely exchanged greetings with the people who came to announce the decree.

No one in Duke Xu's mansion took the marriage of Jing Zhichen and Xu Xingyin seriously, but now the imperial edict came without any sign, and everyone who seemed harmonious on the surface had some hidden thoughts in their hearts.

Compared to everyone else's excitement, Xu Xingyin was the calmest. He sat there calmly waiting to be "arranged".

Chenguangyuan, which had been neglected for a long time, suddenly became the Xu family's treasure land, and even Chen's Zhilanyuan became lively.

The maids and servants who had been transferred to various places were sent back to Chenguang Courtyard intact by the housekeeper;

The best food and supplements in the mansion were also picked first from Chenguangyuan;

Valuable jewelry, ornaments and furniture were sent to Chenguang Courtyard in a continuous stream, for fear of neglecting the master inside.

Xu Xingyin didn't care much about these material possessions. He held a cup of tea and listened to Dangui chatting with him.

"The old lady sent bird's nests to Zhilan Courtyard for three days in a row. She must have known that Madam is soft-hearted and wanted Madam to intercede for Miss! However, I went to Zhilan Courtyard to ask about it. Madam was furious this time. She accepted the gifts but said that Xiang was cold."

"The master has been so happy outside these days, but he looks so sad when he comes back home. I am so anxious that my mouth is swollen! Oh, the master has been calling the prince to the study these two days. I guess he wants to use the prince's way to ease the relationship with the young lady."

"The Third House also sent people to come several times, saying that they were worried about the young lady's health. I followed the young lady's instructions and rejected them all, but I couldn't stand them coming three times a day."

"The one from the fourth room is the most interesting. I heard that she was so angry that she couldn't eat for several days. She even had a fight with the fourth master yesterday and scratched her face. Also, your marriage is a must. As the younger sister, it is not good for the ninth lady to marry before the young lady, so the marriage was put on hold. But the ninth lady has always had a poor appetite these days, but she has been putting it on hold and not letting the doctor come to the house to see her. I wonder if there is something fishy going on."

Dangui, who had been suppressed for a long time in the past few days, was in a very good mood this time. The usually calm girl tried her best to see jokes everywhere, and after coming back, she did not forget to share them with Xu Xingyin.

The two were talking happily when they heard Dan Feng, who was waiting outside, knock on the door and report quietly.

"Miss, Danying is back."

The two people in the room looked at each other and immediately got into the mood according to the script they had originally agreed upon.

At the moment, not to mention Xu Xingyin's comfortable life, even the maids in Chenguang Courtyard are superior to others when they go out.

Among the several senior maids, Danying is the prettiest. In wealthy families, most maids like her help the mistress to serve the master.

Xu Xingyin did not marry into an ordinary family. Even being a maid in the Eastern Palace was an endless honor for them with such a background.

So these days, Danying's place was no quieter than Xu Xingyin's. There were a lot of maids and old women who came to get close to her. Being flattered by those people, Danying felt a little bit ecstatic.

Indeed, with her beauty, if she could get the chance to be the prince's concubine, she would have no worries about not being able to capture his heart!

Danying was thinking happily and just walked to the door to please Xu Xingyin, when she heard the sound of Xu Xingyin and Dangui having a secret conversation in the room.

"Miss! Why are you getting angry with these people?"

"Now that I haven't even married yet, a bunch of so-called nobles are planning to put people in the East Palace. It's obvious that they don't take me seriously at all! How can I not be angry!"

"Miss, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is of noble status, and the positions of concubines and concubines are naturally coveted by thousands of people. Why are you going to bother with them? In my opinion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs people to serve him, so you might as well make plans in advance."

"how do I say this?"

"Miss, you will be the Crown Princess and the mistress of the Eastern Palace in the future. Those concubines and concubines are nothing more than concubines. Instead of letting those outsiders take advantage of you, you might as well consider your own family. A relative who is connected by the same bloodline is always more reliable than those outsiders, right?"

"This……"

Xu Xingyin hesitated for a moment and said, "Let me think about it for a while. There's no rush for this."

Dan Gui did not give up, "Miss, if you feel that your sisters are offensive, then what do you think of Dan Ying?"
