Chapter 48: The Last Wish
"Your Highness, I would like to ask you and the Duke to go to Siwan Courtyard and discuss something with you two." Xiao Dezi interrupted the conversation between Yuan Zhentian and Yan Huai who came to visit the little girl.
"Huh? Auntie didn't call me?" Yuan Yuan was a little disappointed. Queen Wen usually looked for her more.
"Xinxin, have a good rest. Grandpa and Your Highness will go to see the empress." Yuan Zhentian stood up first and made a "please" gesture to Yan Huai.
When the two arrived at Siwan Courtyard, Queen Wen was already sitting in the main courtyard waiting for them.
"I have met the Queen Mother."/"I have met the Empress." Yan Huai and Yuan Zhentian greeted Queen Wen in unison.
"Without courtesy, Uncle Yuan, please sit down quickly. I have something to tell you." Queen Wen couldn't help coughing a few times as soon as she finished speaking, and Aunt Tang quickly patted her back.
"Mother, please go back to the bed and lie down to talk." Yan Huai saw that she was coughing badly and couldn't bear for her to sit upright and waste her energy any longer.
Queen Wen waved her hands and refused, "No, I'm looking for you today just to talk about Shen Zhi and Xin Xin's marriage."
"Uncle Yuan, I want Shen Zhi and Xin Xin to get married first. I can't wait until Xin Xin grows up. I really want to watch them grow up with my own eyes, but I really don't have much time." Queen Wen looked at Yuan Zhen with a pleading look on her face.
God, she knows her demands are too much, so forgive her selfishness.
"Empress! Don't say anything discouraging. I have agreed to let Xinxin and His Highness get married first. It's just His Highness's wedding. Does Your Majesty agree?"
It's not that Yuan Zhentian is looking for excuses to shirk it, it's because Xinxin is only five years old, and Emperor Yan may not be able to agree to putting the marriage of two and a half-year-old children on the agenda.
"Uncle Yuan, don't worry. Your Majesty, I will tell him, Shen Zhi, are you willing to get married first? Let her become your legitimate crown princess and the real mistress of the East Palace."
Empress Wen's two consecutive hints made Yan Huai frown slightly. The empress mother knew what happened by the carp. If Xin Xin was the crown princess whom he knelt down to worship, then how could anyone else dare to provoke her again? His father also
I won't make the little girl sad by being casual with him.
Yan Huai stood up and bowed to Queen Wen and Yuan Zhentian solemnly, promising, "Mother, I am willing. In my heart, Xinxin is my only wife in this life."
"Okay, with your words, the Queen Mother feels at ease. Shen Zhi, you should go back first. The Queen Mother and Uncle Yuan still have something to discuss." Empress Wen stood up with the support of Aunt Tang, hugged Yan Huai, and patted him.
licked his back and watched him leave.
"Mammy, please send someone to invite your Majesty." Queen Wen made up her mind to finalize the marriage between Yan Huai and Yuan Yuan today, and the sooner the better.
"Mother, your highness, the wedding will not be held in the East Palace. Is this inappropriate?" Yuan Zhentian asked tactfully. In fact, he was more afraid of offending his own family and fearing that others would think that the royal family did not like the original wish and would neglect her marriage.
"Uncle Yuan, there is no need to worry. Shenzhi and Xinxin are just getting married in the palace first to make things clear. I will explain to Your Majesty that when Xinxin is married, Shenzhi will marry Xinxin. No one can think of wronging Xinxin. What I am most worried about now is
That is, if I am gone, the marriage between Shen Zhi and Xin Xin will be replaced by someone else."
Empress Wen had already learned about Emperor Yan's selfishness and ruthlessness. If she could use Yanhuai's marriage to consolidate his power, she would definitely be kicked away by him without hesitation. How could she tolerate the little girl she loved so much?
Such humiliation!
"I understand that I have planned this wedding for Your Highness and Xinxin. I will definitely make this wedding grand and grand for Your Highness and Xinxin, and I will not disappoint you." Empress Wen's love for Yuan Yuan is not inferior to that of Yanhuai, Yuan Zhentian
How could you not be moved?
"Empress, Duke, Your Majesty has arrived." At the reminder of the palace attendants, Queen Wen and Yuan Zhentian stood up and waited for the Holy Emperor.
Yan Huai had already returned to Jiyue Courtyard, and took Yuan Yuan, who was still leaning on the soft couch to read the novel, to his room, and then dismissed Qing Yi and Xiao Dezi who were waiting for him.
Seeing how serious he was, Yuan Yuan became nervous. She held his hand and asked softly, "Yan Shenzhi, what's wrong?"
Yan Huai put her on his lap and sat down. He turned her little face to face him and asked with a serious face, "Xinxin, are you willing to marry Gu? Become Gu's wife and stay with Gu forever."
Around you?"
Yuan Yuan nodded under Yan Huai's gaze and replied, "I am willing. Didn't my aunt say that she would marry you when I grow up? Have you forgotten?"
"Xinxin, what Gu said is now, we will get married now." Yan Huai kept looking at her. He didn't want to see a trace of disagreement in the little girl's eyes. In the same way, he didn't want to force it arbitrarily.
she.
"Yan Shenzhi, are you afraid that I won't want you when I grow up? So you should marry me while I am still young and before you are old, so that you are not afraid that you will not be able to marry me when you are old.
Me?" Yuan Yuan looked at her with a proud smile, as if she knew his little abacus.
Yan Huai's originally heavy mood was diluted and relaxed by her absurd reasoning. He reached out and pinched the soft flesh on her face and asked her again about her wishes, "Then are you willing to marry Gu now?"
Yuan Yuan grabbed his rebellious hand, took a bite and replied, "I do. Anyway, we will get married sooner or later, but I have one condition!"
Climbing up the pole means that a thick-skinned person like the little girl never forgets to look for opportunities to benefit herself. Fortunately, her little cleverness will only be used on Yan Huai.
"Tell me." As long as it's not too outrageous, when has he not satisfied her?
"When I marry you, you have to listen to me! I am the biggest in the East Palace! You are not allowed to threaten me with the meat I love to eat! You are not allowed to always catch me reading and reading! I have to go out of the palace to play once a month.
,besides…"
Before Yuan Yuan could finish listing her requests, Yan Huai interrupted her, "Stop it, you made a condition yourself. I will only accept the above request."
These two sentences directly ended her original beautiful wish. She was so angry that she took his hand and bit it hard, "Yan Shenzhi, you bully me again! We are not married yet and you bully me like this! Then after we get married,
Are you even worse to me? You bad guy! If you bully me again, I won’t want you anymore!"
Too much cold water made the little girl angry. Yan Huai could only let her beat him. After the little girl finished venting, he made a promise word for word, "I swear I will never bully Xin Xin in the future. Dong Gong Xin Xin Xin
The biggest, all the delicious and fun things are from Xinxin. If Gu breaks the agreement, Gu Ren will do whatever he wants."
Yan Huai made two insignificant promises to coax the little girl. As for the whimsical request of wanting to go out to the palace every month to play without having to study or read, I'm sorry, the wind was too strong and he didn't hear it.
