Rebirth Space Pretty Girl Chapter 3019: decree to

The possibility of her granddaughter wedded to Helian Rongjiu was something she truly hadn't anticipated.

Having raised Helian Rongjiu herself since his childhood, she was intimately familiar with his character and knew he shared a deep harmony with her granddaughter.

She was convinced that becoming the wife of Helian Rongjiu was the finest path for her granddaughter's future.

Helian Rongjiu had even given her his word. He promised that if he were permitted to marry Murong Lingran, he would break the tradition of previous emperors; he would shun the three palaces and six courtyards filled with wives and concubines, choosing to remain only with Murong Lingran for the rest of his life.

While the future remains uncertain, the fact that her granddaughter inspired Helian Rongjiu to make such a vow proves the depth of his current affection for her.

Given the circumstances, she decided to let the future handle itself. If she were to oppose their union now, she feared the granddaughter who had finally returned to the family would grow to resent her.

Murong Lingran remarked, "I hope that is the case."

Helian Rongjiu was both young and striking; surely, many within the capital harbored their own designs regarding him.

Furthermore, the title of Queen had come to her with such ease that the entire process felt suspiciously effortless to her.

She found it hard to believe that those other young noble ladies would simply remain idle and compliant.

Noticing the look of apprehension on her granddaughter's face, Princess Qihua assumed it was merely a bride's reluctance to leave home. She gently patted her shoulder but offered no further words.

The following morning, Wei Jingxuan arrived at the Marquis of Ning'an Mansion, carrying the imperial decree for the empress's canonization.

At that moment, every member of the Marquis of Ning'an's household was gathered, kneeling solemnly in the front courtyard.

Wei Jingxuan unfurled the imperial scroll and announced in a clear voice: "The Murong Clan, granddaughter of the Marquis of Ning'an, possesses the virtuous heart of Lanzhi. She is hereby appointed as the Queen with the book Baolier. Respect this."

Murong Lingran replied loudly, "This minister's daughter accepts the decree."

Wei Jingxuan placed the imperial decree into her hands, assisted her in standing up, and said with a grin, "Cousin, my congratulations to you."

After opening the decree to scan its contents, Murong Lingran smiled back and said, "I thank you, cousin."

Wei Jingxuan shared a few more pleasantries, set down the gifts he had brought, and departed from the Marquis of Ning'an Mansion.

Helian Rongjiu had no intention of slighting Murong Lingran. Over the coming days, the traditional rites would proceed: the collection of gifts, the asking of the name, followed by the Naji and the final arrangements.

Eunuch De returned on this day to deliver another decree. Its message was straightforward: three potential dates had been selected for Murong Lingran to choose from herself. Each date was carefully scheduled to avoid her menstrual cycle, leading her to select a day in the middle of the month.

Once the official wedding date was finalized, Murong Lingran was suddenly overcome by an inexplicable sense of restlessness.

Observing the pale complexion of his granddaughter, the Marquis of Ning'an asked with concern: "Aran, what is troubling you? Do you feel unwell?"

Eunuch De also watched her with a worried expression upon seeing her state.

"I am fine, there is nothing wrong," Murong Lingran said, shaking her head. Suddenly recalling a concern, she asked: "Eunuch De, you are aware that I have four pets. They are quite large now and cannot be parted from me. I must take them into the palace. Did His Majesty mention how they would be accommodated?"

Eunuch De gave a reassuring smile and replied, "Rest easy, County Master. His Majesty knows you cannot bear to be without them. He has already commanded the Ministry of Works to construct a dedicated courtyard for them near the Queen's Palace. This will ensure they are comfortable and that you can visit them every single day."

Murong Lingran felt an immediate sense of relief. "I am grateful for the information."

Once Eunuch De had been seen off, the Marquis of Ning'an instructed the servants to return to their tasks quickly.

After all, the Ning'an Marquis Mansion would surely be flooded with guests on that day. Areas requiring reconstruction were rebuilt, and those needing a refresh were renovated. Regardless of the cost, he would not allow his granddaughter's reputation to be diminished.
