In the strange atmosphere, everyone became quiet when they saw the prince. Everyone watched secretly, and then quickly ran away.
This situation made Prince Jiang very depressed instantly.
"My lord, I have come here to inform you of this. Tomorrow you will go to court... On the second day of February, you will receive the prince's gift..."
Zhao Gao came over and said with an apologetic smile.
"I know, I know..." Jiang Fan waved his hand, picked up a plate and went to get lunch.
Zhao Gao followed behind him, chattering about various etiquettes, but Jiang Fan just hummed, not sure if he listened.
No one knew that Jiang Fan's mind was spinning rapidly at this moment.
The agreed-upon engagement finally came, and there were no surprises. We started the wedding process first.
It's just that the empress publicly announced the edict in a high-profile manner. Within a few days, the whole world will surely know it. How will Taiyue and the imperial court react by then? They had just consecrated Jiang Fan to the title of King of the West, supervising the Holy Envoy of the country...
How will the Feng family, which has always coveted the empress, react? In their eyes, Ying Wushuang is the established queen of the Feng family...
However, in addition to these, there is also what Xiaohong will think and whether she will get angry...
Prince Jiang put aside his thoughts, but the outside world was completely shaken.
The empress's edict made the relationship between the two known to the world. This was considered clear.
In the court hall, it is said that there was a lot of commotion at that time.
More than 70% of the civil and military officials were delighted, but a small number of people firmly resisted. There were various reasons, but in the eyes of those who agreed, they were all nonsense. As a result, on the day the edict was announced, the court was also drooling.
However, the empress paid no attention to it at all. After promulgating the edict, she asked the ceremony officials to prepare immediately, and then retreated directly, leaving all the officials to make noises.
The folk scene is actually quite similar.
For a long time, all kinds of ambiguous news about the two people have been flying all over the world, and they have always occupied the headlines of Qin people's after-dinner chats. To be honest, Qin people's opinions on this matter can be described as polarized.
For the vast majority of Qin people, this matter is a happy outcome. After all, they feel that His Majesty is also a human being, and sooner or later he must choose an emperor's husband. Except for King Xiaoyao, who is astonishingly talented, dashing and has outstanding achievements, no one can worthy of His Majesty.
Of course, there are some people who are very afraid of this and do not want to see the day when it becomes a fact.
However, no matter what his thoughts were, the empress made it clear with an edict, and even set an engagement date.
So on the one hand, Great Qin was beaming with joy, and on the other hand, they were secretly discussing various solutions.
Naturally, there are countless flying pigeons and messenger eagles flying to various places to report the news.
But without exception, all eyes were focused on that mortal residence that everyone knew was anything but ordinary.
Now, it depends on whether King Xiaoyao obeys the imperial edict. Although the possibility of refusing to obey the edict is almost zero, Jiang Fan did not say anything, so there may be a trace of uncertainty in this matter.
After all, everyone knows that once you become a prince, it means that you will never be able to serve as an official in the court, let alone an emperor's husband? Does King Xiaoyao, who seems to not care about authority, really care so little in his heart?
It's a pity that the door of Mortal Residence is closed, no one comes out at all, and no one knows King Xiaoyao's reaction.
Everything seems to have to wait until the next day to see the outcome.
Early the next morning, tens of thousands of people gathered on both sides of Kaiyang Street leading to Zhengyang Palace, and there were even more people outside Qingyi Alley where Mortals lived, everyone was waiting for news.
Finally, when the first ray of morning light came over, under the gaze of everyone, the door of the mortal center opened, and the prince's carriage set off.
It’s still the same eight hard-earned horses pulling the cart, and it’s still the top-notch luxurious frame in Da Qin. The only difference is that the eight BMWs all have big red flowers hanging on their necks, and red silk is also hung on the carriages.
This look immediately caused a burst of cheers.
Obviously, this represents the attitude of King Xiaoyao, who will obey the imperial edict and become the only emperor's husband in the history of the Qin Dynasty.
Facing the cheers of the crowd, the curtain of the carriage was raised, revealing King Xiaoyao, who was wearing a five-clawed golden dragon king robe, red silk draped diagonally, and a red flower on his chest.
Today, King Xiaoyao is dressed very formally, with his crown and attire meticulous, and he looks extremely majestic. Only that handsome face still had the calm smile familiar to Qin people.
Facing countless people of Great Qin, Jiang Fan stood up and walked out, stood on the shaft of the carriage, waved to the people on both sides of the road, then cupped his fists and bowed deeply.
Such Jiang Fan won the hearts of the people and naturally aroused huge cheers.
The shouts of congratulations and congratulations to His Highness filled the entire street.
Gu Beiyan, who accompanied him, was also full of joy. He didn't expect this talkative man to be so popular with the people...
However, at this moment, a thunderous roar suddenly came.
"Shameless Jiang Fan! The thief who stole the Qin Dynasty! You must accept your fate!"
Before anyone had time to react, dozens of black-clothed and masked figures jumped down from the restaurants and tea shops on both sides.
"There's an assassin—!"
Before the exclamations could even reach the ground, the battle had already begun.
King Xiaoyao protected the carriage with his bodyguards and fought with the assassins.
There was a sudden chaos on the street, people were running around in panic, and there were countless tramples at once.
Jiang Fan frowned slightly, then his eyes became calm. These assassins arrived very suddenly, and their skills were not particularly good. Under the counterattack of the guards led by Lu Hanting and Long Yi, more than half of them were killed in just a few breaths.
"Keep alive!" Jiang Fan did not return to the carriage with the blessing of the formation, but stood there unusually calmly and ordered.
Soon, more than 30 assassins were killed among the forty assassins, and the remaining few were escorted to kneel down in front of the car.
Seeing that the assassin was subdued, the people calmed down and stared at the scene nervously.
Long Yi pressed his long knife on the shoulder of an assassin, forcing him to kneel down in front of the car: "What kind of thief dares to assassinate!"
The man was not afraid, stiffened his neck and raised his head to glare at Jiang Fan on the carriage.
"A dog thief, a wolf with ambition, wants to steal our Great Qin, everyone will get it and kill him!"
"Presumptuous!" Long Yi kicked him from behind and knocked him to the ground. The man laughed wildly and got up, looking at Jiang Fan whose eyes were still spitting fire.
"The evil thief Jiang Fan wants to steal the country. Don't think that everyone in the world is kept in the dark by you. Sooner or later, the benevolent and righteous men of Great Qin will wake up and will cut you into pieces!"
"Nonsense!" Long Er was furious. He took a step forward and fired his bow left and right, beating the man until he vomited blood.
"Stop!" Jiang Fan shouted.
Long Er immediately stopped his slap and stood aside respectfully.
Jiang Fan looked calm, stepped out of the carriage, and came to the man: "Oh? Stealing the country? You want to talk about it?"
The man stared at Jiang Fan: "Son, in front of tens of millions of Qin people, do you dare to let me say this?"
Jiang Fan looked flatly, "Tell me, don't you want this effect when you assassinate in front of tens of millions of people? People have seen it, so naturally they should listen. Jiang is not that stingy."
The man laughed wildly: "Son, there is no need to pretend to be generous. We know that we will die. Since we dare to come, we have put life and death aside for a long time. If you dare to listen, I will dare to speak."
