While on the way to the hall where her father and the person that came from the palace, she had the time to look at the courtyard and once again contemplate.This meeting is without a doubt about the talk of marriage, do they think that she will run from this absurd thing, if the original owner of the body is here she might not accept it since she is madly in love with the fourth prince but the current soul inside now is different. she has a higher sense of responsibility and since this body has become hers then she will bear this responsibility for her.
Normally, she would not make this kind of decision but the family of this body is a nice one that she doesn"t want to make them worry nor suffer any more than they had already had because of their daughter, though if she ever meets the original owner she will reprimand her because of her actions.
After a few minutes of walk they are finally in front of the room where she was supposed to meet the messenger.
The maid opened the door and what she saw is a eunuch which is lowering his head.
She went inside and greet her father who is inside waiting for her arrival.
"Yang er, this is eunuch Lin, he is under the late crown prince" When her father said "late" she somehow saw the eunuch flinched. This eunuch, he might be summoned here by the emperor since he is from the previous crown prince to look if she is suitable for him.
"Greeting Miss Liang, I was sent here by the emperor to escort you to the palace and meet the emperor" she nodded since there is still nothing she can do about this situation.
She first looked at her father and silently follow the eunuch to the carriage waiting outside of their premises.
While they are walking to the carriage the eunuch is sizing her up, the truth is that the eunuch thought that he will be greeted by a little girl with an excessive amount of tantrum since that is what the little girl is known for but instead he was greeted by a little girl who is extremely calm with an empty eyes, but when the little girl greeted her father she is full of elegance that she might even compete with empress though he will keep it to himself since he might get into trouble if other people heard it from him.
He did come to this place to size up the little girl if she is suitable for their prince but he also won"t be surprised if she is against it since the prince is already gone which saddened him.
Their prince died so young that he cannot help but feel sorry for him, there are so many yung lady fighting for his attention when he was still alive but the prince doesn"t even look at them and continue his spiritual cultivation. They even thought that there won"t be something bad happen to him in the future and he will get stronger because of his diligence.
When the news of prince"s death was then heard by their empire, almost all of the marriageable maiden in the empire was heartbroken and most of the citizens cannot help but feel that it is quite a waste since their prince can finally rival those of the higher cultivator from the empire which is famous for their spiritual cultivators, he is their shining star and hope.
All of those suddenly vanished when their prince died.
When the emperor proposed the marriage of his dead son to the minister, they all wanted to avoid the topic since no matter how great the crown prince before those won"t matter since he is already dead and the dead won"t give them anymore credits and besides it is also a waste of their resources.
Their daughters are part of their property which they can use for their own sake and they don"t want them to be sent to a death prince even if their daughters agreed.
The emperor was angered when he saw the response from his ministers but still in the end he agreed to them because even he, if one of his precious daughter was to be betrothed to a dead man, he will refuse but, the subject is his most precious child.
The child that gave him all the glory that he wanted and he want to gift that child something that he didn"t have before he died.
Then as if a blessing, his fourth son gave him an amazing news.
His son recommended him the granddaughter of the previous great general of their empire. The little girl from that house is extremely fond of his fourth son but this son of his has already had someone in his heart and he suggest to his father to make it look like a punishment because she has finally annoyed the fourth prince but because of the word punishment his father was angered.
"Are you saying that getting married to your splendid brother is a punishment!" The emperor is quite angry at him at that time but he calmed him down because of one sentence.
"But father, this is the only reason where their daughter won"t have any way but to approve" His son is quite right. If it is punishment for what they do, then those people won"t have any other way but accept.
