Transmigration: Save My Chastity

[56] It's Official! The Emperor Is Going To Get Married!

It was during morning court when Emperor Xian Long Wei made a shocking announcement. He told the court assembly that he had been engaged and would get married by the end of the year.

It was such a surprise that almost all of the ministers and officials were stunned shock and didn't know what to say.

Except for a few people who knew about this matter beforehand. That people were General Bai Jian Yu and Prime Minister Li Huizhong.

This news was too sudden and abrupt that they were surprised and didn't know what to respond. Only when the Prime Minister and Treasurer started to congratulate the son of heaven, then, the others began to seem alive and congratulate the emperor.

Some curious officials asked who was the Empress candidate.

This matter of announcing the marriage had been discussed with both family. So after agreeing, the Bai's, Li and Emperor Xian decided to tell it today.

"Xian Dynasty's future Empress is General Bai's only ger son. Bai Zhan Chen. After discussing it with the spiritual master, the most suitable day for Zhen's marriage would be the end of this year."

The officials who wanted to introduce their ger son gritted their teeth in regret. But, they didn't have courage to raise their voice at the emperor's choice of empress.

Well then, since, their ger sons couldn't be an Empress, then, being a concubine would also very good. They could try to win Emperor Xian's affection and being given a title of Imperial Concubine.

All men were the same when it came to the matters of bedroom.

So, some proposed, "Your Majesty, since the Empress candidate has been chosen. It's also time to think about your harem. Your Majesty should have a few concubi-"

Before the official could complete his sentence, Emperor Xian Long Wei interrupted him. With furrowed eyebrows, he rejected, "Zhen won't have harem and in this lifetime, Zhen would only have one Empress."

"But, Your Majesty-!"

"Zhen won't tolerate anyone who talk about this matter." Emperor Xian stood up from his dragon throne and frowned at those few who seemed unsatisfied. "This matter will end here. No one is allowed to speak about Zhen's non-existent harem or concubine."

With a flip of his sleeve, Xian Long Wei walked down his throne. The ministers and officials knelt down in silence. Afraid of causing the dragon's ire.

Kneeling down, General Bai Jian Yu although still unsatisfied with the impending marriage, he also felt that Emperor Xian had done the right thing. He wouldn't tolerate his precious ger son's affection to be shared with the others, the concubines.

If Emperor Xian had agreed to the proposal of harem by those power hunger ministers, General Bai Jian Yu wouldn't hesitate to brandish his long sword.

The day when Zhan Chen met with the young emperor was when it was in the middle of the day during the second weeks into the autumn.

He was lounging on the soft cushion inside the study while learning about the palace etiquette. Of course, he had learned the basic etiquette but since he was going to become an Empress, he was supposed to learn how to conduct himself as a good Empress.

He sighed as he read the thick book on the table. He also had to recite the rules one by one. If he did one mistake, the palace teacher would tell him to copy the mistake for a hundred times.

The teacher was too strict.

So, to not copy the mistakes, Zhan Chen forced himself to properly learn. He himself loved to learn during his previous world, so, he tried to bring that attitude here.
