A quick journey starting from Wu Dalang

Chapter 169: Being a Perfect Man in My Fair Princess (4)

When Xiaoyanzi heard Yongqi's words, she stood there in a daze. A hint of sweetness spread in her heart, and then more and more joy gradually overwhelmed her.

"Yongqi, are you speaking the truth?" The empress dowager's expression showed no sign of happiness or anger.

"Grandpa, I am speaking from the heart. I only want to marry Xiaoyanzi. Besides, Xiaoyanzi is just the adopted daughter of the Emperor. Why can't she be my wife?"

"Xiaoyanzi, are you willing to be Yongqi's wife?" The Queen Mother ignored Yongqi and chose to ask Xiaoyanzi instead. Xiaoyanzi was a little hesitant at this moment.

"Lord Buddha, I, I..."

"Xiaoyanzi, don't you want to marry me?" Yongqi's face was full of pain.

"I don't know." Xiaoyanzi was also confused. Even though she was somewhat attracted to Yongqi, there were no memories between them, at least not in her own memory.

"Marriage is a big deal. If Xiaoyanzi doesn't want to, why bother forcing her?" The Queen Mother's words hit Yongqi hard. He staggered back a step, and Xiaoyanzi hurriedly supported him.

"Yongqi, I, I like you too, but I don't want to get married yet." Xiaoyanzi bit her lip and spoke out her true feelings.

Yongqi felt as if his heart had experienced a severe drought, but when Xiaoyanzi said that she liked him, he quickly received a refreshing rain.

"Okay, I think it's too early for you to get married now. Why don't you spend some more time together?" The Queen Mother made the final decision, and Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi agreed.

After resolving the relationship issues between the two, the Queen Mother began to consider Ziwei and Shiyi. They were both children of similar age, and the Queen Mother would not favor one over the other.

The Queen Mother's idea is to personally select suitable partners for the two of them, especially for Shiyi. The prince's wife is very important and may become the future queen mother. If the wrong one is chosen, it will be bad.

When Yongqi said that he only wanted Xiaoyanzi, the Queen Mother knew that Yongqi had no hope and her best choice now was Shiyi.

When the emperor learned that Yongqi only wanted Xiaoyanzi, he had the same idea. In order to prevent Yongqi from regretting it, the emperor specially summoned Yongqi.

"Emperor Father"

"Yongqi, I heard from the Empress Dowager that you only want Xiaoyanzi in your life. Are you serious?" The emperor asked a straightforward question right from the start, which was enough to show his seriousness.

"Father, this is what I think. I only want to be with Xiaoyanzi, and I don't want any other woman," Yongqi said firmly.

Seeing Yongqi like this, the emperor didn't want to say anything more: "As long as you can make Xiaoyanzi willing to marry you, I will grant you marriage."

"Thank you, Father Emperor." Yongqi was very happy.

By the way, the emperor also granted marriage to Qing'er and Erkang, and the wedding date would be one year later. The Ministry of Internal Affairs would be responsible for preparing for the wedding during this year.

After Xiaoyanzi regained her memory, she would always come up with new ideas from time to time, which made the queen, who was always law-abiding, very unhappy. But considering Xiaoyanzi's frankness, the queen hid in her own palace and pretended not to see it.

But Xia Yuhe would not let anyone have peace: "I haven't seen Concubine Ling and the Queen for quite a while. I don't know what happened?"

"If mother misses your mother and the Royal Mother, why not go and visit them?" Ziwei suggested. She really thought that Xia Yuhe missed these two people.

"My mother has to deal with palace affairs now, so she doesn't have time to accompany the Queen. How about you accompany the Queen on my mother's behalf?"

"Oh, this is a good idea. The Queen is kind-hearted and will definitely like us." Xiaoyanzi was never troubled by the Queen. In her opinion, the Queen was a kind and good person.

Ziwei understood Xia Yuhe's personality and knew that her mother just wanted to have fun, so she didn't say anything more and brought Xiaoyanzi to the Queen's Palace.

"Your Majesty, Princesses An and Kang request an audience," Madam Rong reported.

"Why are they here?" The queen was a little confused. They didn't seem to have any relationship with each other. "Please let them in."

"Greetings to the Empress Dowager"

Xiaoyanzi saluted in a dignified manner. Although it was not enough to satisfy the queen, she endured it after thinking of her background. She said, "Get up."

"What are you doing staying in the palace all day long? If you keep doing this, she will get bored sooner or later." Xiaoyanzi spoke quickly, which obviously offended the Queen.

"I am your royal mother. Do I need you to teach me what to do?"

"Empress Dowager, Xiaoyanzi didn't mean that. Xiaoyanzi just cares about you." Ziwei hurriedly explained, and only then did the angry queen regain her sanity.

Under the harassment of the two men, the queen could not recite the scriptures quietly for the first time. She walked out of her palace for the first time in a long time and went to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is here."

"Proclaim"

The Queen walked up to the Emperor and knelt on the ground without saying a word: "Isn't the Emperor going to go on a private visit? Do you intend to bring He Shu and An with you?"

"Why did the Queen suddenly ask this?"

"I feel very sad to see these two children doing nothing in the palace. Besides, He Shu is from the common people, so I am afraid he will miss home too."

"That does make sense." The emperor agreed with the queen's statement and planned to go on the tour with the two of them.

Finally, Xiaoyanzi was sent away. The Queen felt so sorry that she wanted to sing a song in the palace, but considering that it was against the rules, she gave up with regret.

The emperor pretended to be the master of a wealthy family and pretended to be out for a trip with his children. Yongqi followed Xiaoyanzi and asked her about her well-being. Erkang also accompanied her as a guard. Shiyi was left in the palace to temporarily take over the official duties.

Shi Yiye did not waste this opportunity. He slowly inserted his own people into the court. While the emperor was away, he ordered the Ministry of Works to create many strange things.

The emperor and other people were having so much fun outside the palace that they didn't want to leave. They even met someone throwing a bouquet of embroidery to choose a marriage partner. However, the bouquet fell on Erkang, which made Erkang very embarrassed.

"Father, Erkang already has a fiancée. I'm afraid this is not appropriate," Xiaoyanzi said with a worried look on her face.

"Master, I already have Qing'er." Erkang quickly expressed his loyalty. He still couldn't forget Ziwei in his heart, but to him, his future and family were more important.

The father of the rich girl saw that she was dressed very elegantly and naturally would not make things difficult for her, so the hydrangea was thrown out again, and this time it was even more unexpected.

The hydrangea fell next to a beggar, who quickly grabbed the hydrangea and shouted that he had become the beggar's husband and wanted to marry him immediately.

"How can this be possible? How can a beggar be worthy of someone's beautiful daughter?" Ziwei tried to stop them, and many people around them also spoke up.
