Chapter 151: Summon
Ning Feng and Jiang Ying reported the battle at the border city at the same time. The emperor felt that Ning Yue was a useful person. If he could take her in for his own use, he was very willing to do so.
“The imperial decree is already on its way. The empress and I meant to issue the decree to set the date first and then give the betrothal gift a few days before the wedding. It would be grand.”
Jiang Huan couldn’t help but laugh when he heard the emperor mention the betrothal gift. You were the one who mentioned it!
“About the betrothal gift, Mother said that Prince Jin will pay 200,000 taels. Mother will pay 50,000 taels. The remaining 750,000 taels will be paid by you.”
Hearing Jiang Huan’s words, the emperor’s smile immediately collapsed.
“Why do I have to pay seven hundred and fifty thousand taels?” the emperor asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Jiang Ying is the heir. His wedding should be handled according to the Regional King’s standards. The emperor naturally has to pay for the betrothal gifts,” Jiang Huan said.
He actually couldn’t refute this reason.
“But the treasury has been empty recently. A lot of pensions have been given. It’s—” The emperor didn’t finish the sentence. Tears were already welling in his eyes.
When Jiang Huan heard this, he immediately knew what the emperor meant. “That’s right. Although the losses in the battle at the border city are not great, so many people have died. The compensation can’t be small.”
In the beginning, the emperor thought that Jiang Huan understood him. Just as he was about to smile, he heard Jiang Huan say that the compensation could not be less. He thought that something was wrong. He wanted to interrupt Jiang Huan, but Jiang Huan did not give him a chance.
“My Prince Jin’s Estate has also contributed a lot to those compensation funds. It’s fine if my son is married to a commoner, but my son is married to a princess conferred by the emperor. The standard of a princess and county king’s wedding is one million taels of gold.”
“It doesn’t make sense for the emperor not to cpmtronite. My family and Mother are already helping Emperor Brother by paying. Emperor Brother, don’t tell me you won’t even pay 750,000 taels of silver? You have to know that according to the rules, you should be the one paying.”
The more the emperor listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. He kept opening his mouth to interrupt, but he could not find an opportunity.
“We sympathize with our emperor brother so much, but he doesn’t give a damn. Ah! My two poor grandchildren. They’re still part of the royal family and have been wandering outside since they were young. It wasn’t easy for them to find them, but they can’t enter the family tree. How can I let those two children down?” Jiang Huan became sadder and sadder as he spoke. In the end, he wailed.
He was crying his heart out.
As long as Jiang Ying and Ning Yue did not get married, the two children would not be able to enter the family tree. Jiang Ying was certain that besides, Ning Yue would not marry another woman. Won’t Prince Jin have no heir then?
Seeing Jiang Huan, a prince who had fought on the battlefield, cry like this, the emperor’s heart softened a lot. In the end, he said with difficulty, “I’ll think of a way.”
Only then did Jiang Huan stop crying, but the tears in his eyes did not disappear.
In the end, Jiang Huan left and the emperor cried.

Due to money issues and the war, the emperor was in a bad mood. Thinking of this, he felt even more depressed and spat out a mouthful of blood.
When the eunuch heard that the situation on the emperor’s side was not right, he rushed in and was terrified to see the emperor vomiting blood and lying on the table.
“Quick! Call the imperial physician over!” the eunuch shouted at the top of his lungs.
It was not easy to wake the emperor up, but the emperor said that he wanted to summon the Crown Prince, the Prime Minister, and the Crown Prince’s Grand Tutor.
“Emperor, what can’t we talk about tomorrow? It’s already dark. Perhaps they’re all asleep,” the eunuch advised earnestly.
“No! You have to call them over immediately! If you don’t, I’ll kill you with a stick!” The emperor was furious. None of them would listen to him.
Just like that, the emperor talked to the crown prince, the crown prince’s grand tutor, and the prime minister for the entire night.
When the crown prince went out, he was smiling as he went to the empress’s palace with the young eunuch sent by the empress.
The empress waited anxiously. When she finally saw the crown prince coming, she asked impatiently, “What does the emperor want by calling you over so late?”
She was very worried that the emperor was dissatisfied because the crown prince had done something wrong, so even though it was very late, she did not dare to sleep.
