Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As soon as this news spread, the entire capital was in an uproar.

Everyone was asking about Li Xiaoran’s background.

The nobles and ministers in the dynasty were even more baffled.

They were just a commoner who had been removed from the royal family and an unknown peasant. Why did the emperor want Eunuch Zhao to announce the imperial decree in public?

When the emperor learned of this news, he was stunned for a long time.

“I asked you to spread the decree and bestow a marriage decree for my seventh son and that country girl?” After a while, the emperor finally came back to his senses and looked at Eunuch Zhao.

Eunuch Zhao also looked at the emperor aggrievedly as he quickly expressed his loyalty.

“Your Majesty, I was by your side when this happened! I don’t know any cloning techniques. How I can serve you and make a trip outside the palace at the same time?”

“I didn’t write such an imperial decree. Besides, if I wanted to bestow a marriage, I would have chosen the princess of Zhu Lan Kingdom! How could I let him marry a farmer?! Go, ask General Zheng to bring that imperial decree back to me! I want to see who dared to impersonate me!” The emperor was furious as he gave out instructions.

When the imperial decree was really brought over, the emperor thought that he was seeing things.

This imperial edict was in his handwriting!

Could it be that he, the emperor, sleepwalked in the middle of the night and wrote such an imperial edict?

After this thought appeared, the emperor quickly rejected it.

No, this was definitely not an imperial edict from him. He wasn’t that senile.

Therefore, this imperial decree was definitely fake.

However, why did someone with such impressive workmanship only make an imperial decree to bestow marriage?

If anyone really had such impressive impersonation abilities, they should at least make an imperial decree for inheriting the throne!

The emperor’s expression turned solemn at the thought.

Or could it be that the other party had already made an imperial decree for inheriting the throne?

What a terrifying thought!

The emperor really couldn’t sit still anymore!

After standing up, the emperor paced back and forth in the imperial study many times. Eunuch Zhao’s gaze landed on the emperor as he tried to figure out what he was thinking.

“What do you think the person who forged this imperial decree wants?” The emperor suddenly asked.

When Eunuch Zhao heard the emperor’s words, he immediately laughed. “Your Majesty, is there a need to think about it? Isn’t it obvious who benefits?” When the emperor heard Eunuch Zhao’s words, his heart skipped a beat.

Wasn’t the farmer called Li Xiaoran the one who benefited the most?

But how could a farmer have such abilities?

But if it wasn’t this farmer, who else benefited?

Was it his seventh son? No, no, no, it was probably someone else!

After all, if his seventh son married the princess of Zhu Lan Kingdom, he would be a much greater threat to the others. Thinking of this, the emperor sneered.

His sons were all very ambitious.

Other than his seventh son, everyone else coveted the throne he was sitting on.

Thinking of this, the emperor suddenly realized how good his seventh son was.

Although this son of his wasn’t what he expected and he had never placed high hopes on him, he had never caused him any trouble from the beginning to the end.

The only time was when he stood in front of him and asked to be removed from the family.

To be honest, after his seventh son was born, he had abandoned him.

He didn’t even know how this child had grown up.

But when his seventh son asked to be removed from the family, he was moved by his stubborn expression, so he let him go.

Over the years, the emperor actually thought of this son occasionally.

He heard that his son had actually gone to Sichuan to become a hunter.

To be honest, the emperor really didn’t understand!

He was clearly a prince. Even if his biological mother’s status was low, his seventh son still had his bloodline and had a much higher status than those commoners.

Why was he unwilling to be a prince, but willing to be a hunter?

With this suspicion, the emperor subconsciously paid more attention to his seventh son.

Zhu Lan Kingdom offered a national treasure as the princess’ dowry. At that time, he immediately bestowed the princess of Zhu Lan Kingdom to his seventh son.

Marrying the princess of Zhu Lan Kingdom to his other sons was a bad idea. He was only at ease if the princess of Zhu Lan Kingdom married his seventh son.

After all, it was impossible for a commoner son and a princess from another country to cause any trouble.

Therefore, the emperor thought about it for a long time and finally felt that his other sons must have done it.

This time, the emperor was even warier of his sons!

In the capital, Luo Cheng’s other brothers were secretly delighted.

If a commoner like their seventh brother couldn’t marry the princess of Zhu Lan Kingdom, he would still be a commoner.

One less competitor was naturally something to be happy about.

Besides, even if Luo Cheng was betrothed to someone else, the princess of Zhu Lan Kingdom was still around!

Therefore, these people began to have designs on the princess of Zhu Lan Kingdom again.

One had to know that Zhu Lan was a mineral-rich country.

Whoever married the princess of Zhu Lan Kingdom would obtain the help of Zhu Lan Kingdom. They were naturally unwilling to let go of such a good opportunity.

For a moment, the situation in the capital changed.

The capital was in chaos. After Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran received the news from the capital, they heaved a sigh of relief.

After knowing that the emperor didn’t suspect them at all, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng were secretly amused.

At the same time, the new house built by Li Shun, Zhao Xiu, and the others was about to be upgraded.

After the beam was up, they could build roof tiles. After that, they would ventilate the house for a few days to get rid of the humidity.

In the countryside, putting up the beam was a very important thing, so they had to prepare a lot of things.

They should have called the villagers over to liven things up, but after Li Shun and Zhao Xiu discussed it, they decided not to make a fuss.

After they called a few families from the village over, the ceremony of putting up the beam began.

By the time Sr. Li and Aunt Li received the news, the ceremony had already been completed. Everyone had already left, leaving the craftsmen to build tiles in the new house.

To be honest, after knowing that their third son had built a new house, Sr. Li and Aunt Li immediately had plans.

During this period of time, Sr. Li and Aunt Li became increasingly disappointed.

Although their eldest son and youngest son were still by their side, this family was declining.

Although they could still survive, their living standards had plummeted!

At this moment, the old couple thought of their third son, Li Shun, and their third son’s wife, Zhao Xiu..
