Chapter 87: The Imperial Decree to Get Married (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Xue Fanxin returned to the Duke’s Estate, she first took a bath with flower petals before sleeping soundly. As for what Ye Jiushang was doing, she had no idea. However, she was very confident in him.
This guy had always been clamoring for her to be his future consort. How could he allow the Nanling Emperor to betroth her to someone else? She would just wait and watch the drama unfold.
The next morning, Ye Jiushang led a mighty army and thousands of large chests of betrothal gifts. They beat the gongs and drums along the way as he came to the Duke’s Estate to propose.
!!This formation almost shocked Xue Batian to the point his jaw dropped to the floor.
Because of the huge commotion, the news that the Ninth Imperial Uncle had come to the Duke’s Estate to propose marriage quickly spread. Everyone on the streets was talking about it, and all of them were extremely envious of Xue Fanxin.
How could a stupid and useless person enter the Ninth Imperial Uncle’s eyes?
Not many people in the Imperial City had contact with the Ninth Imperial Uncle, especially the young women. Basically, they had never seen him, so they did not have any adoration for him. Therefore, when the Ninth Imperial Uncle went to the Duke’s Estate to propose marriage, those young women did not have any reaction other than sighing.
“Ninth Imperial Uncle, what are you doing?” Xue Batian personally received the Ninth Imperial Uncle and was actually quite afraid of him.
“Proposing a marriage! Because of the limited time, I could only get my hands on 5,000 large chests of secular things in this place. They are all gold, silver, or jewelry. They can’t be used in any elegant hall. However, I guarantee you that in the future, I will add ten times the betrothal gifts to escort Little Xin’er.” The Ninth Imperial Uncle directly stated his purpose.

When Xue Batian looked at the priceless boxes of gold and silver jewelry, his eyes widened, unable to imagine just how much wealth this was.
A thousand-year-old jade and ten-thousand-year-old spirit ginseng were things that even the royal family of the Nanling Empire could not take out. However, the Ninth Imperial Uncle said that these were just ordinary things that were not worth taking out in an elegant hall.
If these things could not be considered elegant, then what could?
When Xue Fanxin found out that Ye Jiushang had come to propose with the betrothal gifts, although she was a little surprised, she did not find it that unexpected. She got up and slowly washed up before heading to the hall. Seeing the dazzling lineup of gold and silver jewelry, her face was filled with joy and excitement.
“Wow… So many treasures! This is a high-grade white jade bracelet and ten-thousand-year-old spirit ginseng. This is good, this is good. It’s actually a jade, a thousand-year-old jade. Ninth Imperial Uncle, where did you rob and get so many good things?”
“Ptui, ptui, ptui. What are you talking about, little girl?” Xue Batian was unhappy when he heard the word ‘rob’ and reprimanded her dotingly. His eyes were slowly filled with love.
“Grandpa, I was just joking.” After Xue Fanxin’s excitement subsided, she looked at Ye Jiushang and casually replied, “I agree to your marriage proposal, but I can’t get married until I’m 18 years old. Can you accept such a condition?”
“No problem. From now on, you will be my fiancée.” Ye Jiushang smiled mysteriously.
Xue Fanxin suddenly felt as if she had boarded a pirate s.h.i.+p. The reason she had agreed to Ye Jiushang’s marriage proposal was that she wanted to avoid being betrothed to Ye Chenping by the Nanling Emperor. As far as she was concerned, being engaged to Ye Jiushang was much better than to a stranger.
But was that really the case?
Just as Xue Fanxin was organizing her thoughts, Xue Batian suddenly asked, “Little Xin’er, have you thought it through? This is your marriage, so you can’t just do whatever you want. Although this guy has many betrothal gifts, money is not as important as happiness.”
“Grandpa, do you want me to marry Ye Chenping and become his consort, or do you want me to become the Ninth Imperial Uncle’s fiancée?” Xue Fanxin asked in a serious manner.
