Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

he Empress spread through the entire imperial capital as if the news itself had sprouted wings.

People were unsure about how to react when they first got word of the news.

What? The Emperor was marrying Second Miss Lu?

What kind of joke was this?!

Was Second Miss Lu not already discarded by the Crown Prince? Why would His Majesty want her?

That could not be right.
The Grand Duke family had set up an arena over the last few days to choose a bridegroom for Lu Liangwei.
How did this turn into His Majesty marrying her?

What exactly had happened?

Question after question exploded in everyone’s minds.

Some were disbelieving, some were incredulous, others were jealous and filled with contempt, while there were some who were fearful.

They had not offended Second Miss Lu before, did they? They had not, had they?

Since news of Lu Liangwei hanging herself to attempt suicide had spread, many looked down upon her.
They were of the opinion that a woman such as this would probably find it difficult to get married for her entire life.
Even if someone was willing to marry her, it would likely not be a man of quality.

That was why not many were surprised when the Grand Duke Family had set up that arena to select her a husband.

After all, she was the woman discarded by the Crown Prince.
Who would be willing to pick up leftovers he did not want?

So what if the Grand Duke Family had immense power? So what if Lu Liangwei was absolutely gorgeous? They would rather marry a woman of virtue and honor from a small family.

While secret laughter about how Lu Liangwei would only be able to get herself a useless husband for the rest of her life went on, this shocking piece of news was heard.

They had heard that all the officials from the Ministry of Rites were brought along by the Emperor to the Grand Duke Mansion for a marriage negotiation.

His Majesty was the ruler of the kingdom.
Was it even necessary for him to personally handle the betrothal?

Regardless, he did head there personally.
Rumor had it that the betrothal gifts for the future Empress were so abundant that they could not fit on the front courtyard of the Grand Duke Mansion.
The servants were said to be still busy conducting a stock check for all the gifts.

This showed just how much His Majesty valued the marriage.

Everyone could only react in shock or incredulity over this.
