Three days later, a large number of attendants suddenly came to the entrance of the merchant house. The person in the lead was a white-haired eunuch. He dismounted and shouted, "The imperial edict has arrived."

Shang Tiancheng who was in the hall heard that someone had come to report, and immediately placed the incense table down, bringing the young and old down on their knees to receive the orders.

"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

The white haired eunuch, the Eunuch Li, started to announce the decree: "Obediently, the emperor decrees: imperial physician Shang Tiancheng, medical skills are exquisite, moral character is high, rearing a girl is good, thousand gold, Shang Yiqing is beautiful, her nature is intelligent, her character is virtuous and virtuous, we present Shang Yiqing as my imperial concubine, and have arranged for her to be married on the sixth day of the next month.

"This humble subject shall obey the decree. Long live the Emperor, long live, long live the Emperor!" Shang Tiancheng didn't dare believe his ears, and used his trembling hands to receive the imperial edict.

"Congratulations Imperial Physician Shang, congratulations Miss Shang!" The bestowal Eunuch Li looked at Shang Tiancheng with a beaming smile, "We offer Imperial Physician Shang our congratulations!"

"Eunuch Li is too polite! "Please sit inside." Shang Tiancheng endured the shock in his heart and called out to Eunuch Li.

"We are only here today to deliver the decree, we can't stay any longer. The empress still needs us to serve her. We won't stay here any longer, until we meet again." As he spoke, he led the servants back to the palace.

Shang Tiancheng quickly ordered for people to take out some silver, and as a reward for everyone, he also gave Eunuch Li gold barley: "Please accept this official's kind intentions, this official will buy wine for you to eat."

Eunuch Li smiled and accepted it without a trace of politeness: "We appreciate Old imperial physician's kindness. I heard that the Empress greatly appreciates your daughter, and the Empress even asked the Emperor to issue an imperial decree. In the future, when the Miss Shang marries the Prince Rong, she will become an imperial concubine.

"The Emperor's grace is vast, the Emperor's magnanimity is vast!" Shang Tiancheng praised the Emperor's kindness and sent the Eunuch Li out of the merchant house.

Turning around, the smile on his face turned into a wry smile. He even frowned as he let out a long sigh and walked into the hall.

"Father, Eunuch Li left?" Shang Yiqing could not help but ask.

Shang Tiancheng didn't say anything. Instead, he let out a sound of dejection. Sitting on the Grand Preceptor chair, he looked unspeakably frustrated. He didn't look excited at all that his daughter was going to be an imperial concubine.

"Dad, what happened to you?" Shang Yiqing asked puzzledly. She knew that her father had always been annoyed by her marriage, and now that the order had been given to her to marry the Duke, why didn't her father seem happy at all?

Shang Tiancheng let out a long sigh, "My daughter, do you know who the Emperor wants you to marry?"

"Marry the prince, now I'm going to be an imperial concubine!" Shang Yiqing was a little excited. She didn't care who she married. After teleporting to this place, she was very curious about what had happened to her. Other people had countless fortuitous encounters after teleportation, so what kind of Prince Charming could she encounter? But what about herself? Fortunately, she was a nurse and could be considered to have returned to her old job. However, there were no peach blossoms or flowers, and there were very few people who came to propose marriage. Now that the Emperor had actually ordered her to marry the Prince, it could be considered as giving her a bit of a pleasant surprise.

"My daughter, my daughter, you are too naive. The one the Emperor wants you to marry is the Prince Rong!" Shang Tiancheng heaved a long sigh. It seemed like his daughter knew nothing about this Prince Rong at all. The Prince Rong is the son of the Prince Yu, the current emperor's nephew, but he has been sick and weak since childhood. The other sons of Prince Yu have already been married for a long time, but in this country, no one is willing to marry their daughter to the Prince Rong. The Emperor wants his daughter to marry him because he wants her to take care of the patients! Moreover, this Prince Rong's body is weak and sick, what if his daughter marries to him and he dies, wouldn't his daughter become a widow at such a young age?

"So what if I marry the Prince Rong?" Shang Yiqing still did not understand his father's words.

"The Prince Rong has always been weak and sickly since young. The Emperor wants you to marry him because he wants you to take care of him." Shang Tiancheng hesitated, and told Shang Yiqing everything he knew.

Shang Yiqing's eyes turned around: "You mean, you want me to take care of the patient?"

Shang Tiancheng nodded.

"So what? It's not like I've never taken care of her before!" Shang Yiqing thought to herself indifferently, when she was at the hospital, didn't she have to deal with patients everyday? She was already used to it. Even after she had transmigrated here, she could still frequently dream of being busy at work. From this ward to that, dozens of patients were waiting for her! She was really nostalgic for the busy and fulfilling days of the past.

Seeing that Shang Yiqing did not care, Shang Tiancheng did not know what to say. He only had a daughter like her, who he viewed as the pearl of his palm. For his daughter to be able to marry a good family, he was naturally happy, but to marry the sickly Prince Rong, he could not feel happy at all!

Shang Yiqing stood there quietly with a calm smile on her face. Seeing her father like this, she went up to comfort him, because to her, the imperial edict just now was just an announcement that she was going to marry a "fuerdai", it was not a big deal.

"Poor daughter." Shang Tiancheng felt even more sad hearing his daughter's consolation. How could this happen? It was all his fault, he had to bring his daughter into the palace to check on the Queen's pulse that day. In the end, when the Queen took a look at him, she sent out such an imperial edict, which caused Shang Tiancheng to regret deeply.

"Father, no matter what, your daughter is marrying a prince, and in the future, she will be a princess, so you should be happy for your daughter. In any case, who is married to whom? At any rate, this is still the imperial concubine!" Seeing Shang Tiancheng's sad face, Shang Yiqing was also a little excited. After teleporting to this place, Shang Tiancheng had never found out about her identity and had always treated her like his own daughter, doting on her very much.

"But, but that Prince Rong, he ?" Shang Tiancheng leaned on his daughter in distress, gently stroking her hair, that Prince Rong, what kind of duke was he, how could he be a prince, like a cripple, he would not even live long.

"Dad, don't worry. Your daughter is so capable, maybe after marrying her, Prince Rong's disease will be cured. Maybe I will be very happy in the future!" Shang Yiqing smiled elegantly, her tone carrying a bit of coquettishness.

Shang Tiancheng looked at his sensible daughter and felt a wave of comfort. Ever since his wife died, he and his daughter had been relying on each other for life. Although he had always been worried about his daughter's marriage, right now, it was time for his daughter to get married.

"Dad, you should be happy for your daughter. Just laugh, just laugh!" Shang Yiqing played with his father.

Shang Tiancheng finally revealed a trace of a smile. He really didn't expect that his daughter, who he had always viewed as someone who didn't care, would actually be so reasonable, and even console himself on the other hand.
