The next day
Sure enough, a royal decree was issued in Zhaochen Palace.
Granting marriage between the Fifth Prince and Princess Hai Feng of Western Xia.
The decree also mentioned.
Due to the special status of Princess Hai Feng, the engagement process would be skipped, and a favorable date selected for the wedding directly.
The decree caused a shock throughout the court.
Even the elderly Imperial Noble Consorts in the harem were alarmed.
Of course, this was also because of Empress Dowager Zhen.
Outside the palace, ministers naturally expressed congratulations and praise.
After all, the union of two countries was beneficial for diplomacy, the nation, and its people!
Any minister with a bit of wisdom appreciated such an icing on the cake.
As for the Imperial Noble Consorts inside the palace.
Say nothing but talk about Empress Dowager Zhen, when she learned her son was to marry Princess Hai Feng.
Her heart was filled with both joy and worry.
