The news of An Lingge being annulled the engagement with the Duke Palaces was like a drop of gunpowder that blew up the tranquility on the surface of the Duke Palaces without a trace.

An Lingyi was the first to be unable to hold back from saying these words, as she gloated with an undisguised expression.

"Aiya, I didn't expect that big sister would have her marriage annulled under the emperor's decree. It's really shocking."

She glanced at An Lingge's face and continued, "But big sister, you don't have to be sad. Although this woman who has been annulled is no longer suitable for others, given our Prince An's Palace, finding a wealthy family for you to marry into, won't be a problem."

The so-called wealthy families referred to merchants.

It was clear to the industry and commerce class that when An Lingyi said she wanted to marry the direct daughter of the An family to a merchant, it was blatantly humiliating her.

The old mistress pursed her lips, her face a dark green.

She thought that her Prince An's Palace was also a well-known family in the capital back then, and many people rushed to curry favor with her. Unfortunately, after the fall of the Duke Palaces, the families that came to curry favor with her had all disappeared, and even the Emperor was now using their Prince An's Palace to make fun of her!

First, they had been bestowed an imperial marriage order, and now, they had unreasonably changed their decree. Did they think that their Prince An's Palace were some kind of lowly family that could be casually toyed with like a cat or dog?

Hearing An Lingyi's words, the old lady's face became even uglier.

She glared at this talkative girl, her aged face fierce. "Shut up. The emperor cancelled this marriage, and the relationship isn't limited to just the big girl. None of you will be able to get away with it."

An Yingcheng immediately took two steps forward, and stood respectfully by the old lady's side. "Mother, calm down, there must be a reason behind the Emperor changing his decree, I'll send someone to investigate."

The eunuch who gave the order just now had already said that the Emperor had seen Hereditary Prince Mu before he gave this edict, so there was a high chance that this matter had something to do with Hereditary Prince Mu.

The old mistress understood this logic. She had been by the old prince's side for decades and had some understanding of the matters of the imperial court.

Hearing An Yingcheng's words, she suppressed her anger and asked An Lingge, "Now that the marriage has been cancelled, what do you think, big girl?"

Although it was said that the Emperor had changed his mind and was at a disadvantage for the entire Prince An's Palace, the one who suffered the most in this matter was still An Lingge.

An Lingge lowered her head and respectfully replied to the old lady's question, "Reporting to Grandmother, the reason why Little Ge and Hereditary Prince Mu were engaged at that time was because the emperor ordered it to be annulled. Now that the emperor has ordered it to be annulled, Little Ge will take it that it has never happened before."

Because she had lowered her head, the Countess could not see much from her face. Only by hearing that her voice was somewhat stuffy, could she tell that she was not in a good mood.

The originally joyous and joyous marriage ended up in vain. Who would be in a good mood?

The old mistress sighed in her heart. "Eldest girl, don't worry. There are many men in this world. Grandmother will properly show you a son. I won't let you suffer any grievances."

She was making a promise to An Lingge, and her attitude instantly changed the gloating An Lingyi had just done.

It was one thing for An Lingge to be a direct descendant of the Prince An's Palace and occupy a good status, and even the Emperor bestowing marriage on her.

Now that the emperor had changed his mind, not only did An Lingge not enter the Prince Mu’s Palace, she became an unlucky girl who had her marriage annulled.

But the madame actually had to personally choose her husband? How could An Lingge have such a good life!

An Lingyi's expression was furious, but Aunt Li bumped into her and secretly gave her a secret look, then laughed sincerely.

The young miss has been wronged for no reason, and it has to do with her reputation and character. If this matter were to be spread, not only the young miss, our entire Prince An's Palace would also become the laughingstock of the people in the capital. However, the young miss' marriage annulment is a hindrance to her reputation, so if she wants to find a good family, she must properly consider it. "

The little act between the two of them caught An Lingxue's eyes, her lips raised slightly, but she seemed to be extremely indignant for An Lingge, "But just like that, the Emperor changed the imperial edict, but he did not explain anything. Sooner or later, outsiders will know that Big Sis was ordered by the Emperor to annul the marriage, who knows what they will think, Big Sis wants to find a good home, but it will be as difficult as ascending to the heavens."

Who said it didn't make sense?

The worry on the old lady's face deepened. Although the person she doted on the most was An Lingxue, who had grown up by her side, as the direct descendent of Prince An's Palace, An Lingge had the most personality and intelligence out of all of her granddaughters.

But now that the emperor had suddenly changed the order, An Lingge would inevitably be looked down by others, the marriage was not easy to find.

If they were to look for those small families, not to mention whether An Lingge was willing or not, just the matter of her low marriage was enough to cause everyone in Prince An's Palace to lose face.

An Lingge suddenly laughed, with a look of calmness, "Grandmother, no need to worry about me, Little Ge has always believed that fate has always been predestined by the heavens, it is yours, and sooner or later it will be yours.

Right now, she looked like she did not care about it at all, but her expression just now was obviously sad. The old lady knew that An Lingge was saying this to comfort her.

The madame's heart ached even more as she patted her hand. "Tomorrow, I'll go to the palace and ask the empress dowager what the emperor means by doing this."

Even though she couldn't directly interrogate the emperor, she had some friendship with the empress dowager back when they were in the palace. It wouldn't be a big deal if she asked the empress dowager about it.

An Lingyi suppressed the jealousy in her heart with much difficulty. Seeing that the old lady was so generous to An Lingge, a bit of injustice surfaced in the depths of her eyes.

But before the old lady could go to the palace and ask for the reason, the second decree had already reached the Prince An's Palace.

An Yingcheng immediately brought everyone to welcome them, his heart a little uneasy.

The eunuch who passed down the decree laughed, and upon seeing An Yingcheng coming out he immediately congratulated him, "Great news, great news."

An Yingcheng was confused, but seeing that the eunuch was like this, he calmed down, "May I ask Great Elder, what orders has the Emperor given this time?"

"The Emperor decreed that Miss An would be conferred the title of Princess Changqing."

The eunuch laughed, and only after saying this did he begin to read out the imperial edict.

This time, An Yingcheng did not need to send anyone to Prince Mu’s Palace to investigate the reason, and the old mistress did not need to beat around the bush to ask the empress dowager for information.
