Chapter 49: Finalizing the Wedding Date
Yan Huai tidied Yuan Yuan's messy sleeves and his own wrinkled clothes, and led her out of the room, followed by Qing Yi and Xiao Dezi.
A quarter of an hour later, several people arrived in front of Qinzhengyuan.
"Your Majesty, His Highness and Miss Xinxin are here." Huan respectfully welcomed them into the courtyard, where Emperor Yan and Yuan Zhentian were already waiting for them.
"See you, father."/"See you, your majesty." I originally wanted to follow Yan Huai and salute Emperor Yan honestly, but the title was no longer as close as before.
Emperor Yan was so preoccupied with his marriage that he didn't notice the change in his original name. He raised his hand to signal the two of them to stand up.
"Sit down, everyone. I asked you to come here to ask your opinions on marriage."
"Be careful, your mother has told me your wishes. As the crown prince of Dayan, it would be wrong for you to get married in the palace. I have already discussed this with your mother. When we are happy with each other, you can hold the wedding in the East Palace.
The gift."
Emperor Yan was paying attention to the changes in the expression on Yan Huai's face as he spoke. Whether it was true or false, Emperor Yan hoped that he would accept it. Even though July was not the right month to get married, Queen Wen's declining body could not tolerate so many taboos for him.
"My son and I have discussed it with Xinxin and have no objections to the marriage. I would like to ask my father to arrange it." Yanhuai knew that Emperor Yan wanted to test his attitude and make his mother happy. He did not feel aggrieved because he could marry under the witness of his mother.
He could only be filled with joy for his little girl.
"Xinxin has no objection. As long as it can make my aunt happy, Xinxin is willing to do anything." Yuan Yuan also followed Yan Huai to express his stance.
Since the two parties involved had no objections, Emperor Yan began to discuss the details of the marriage with Yuan Zhentian in front of them.
Not long after, officials such as the Minister of Rites and the Chief of Qin Tian Supervisor came one after another to assist Emperor Yan in discussing the details of the prince's marriage.
Because the original wish was to have a marriage contract with Yanhuai since he was a child, Emperor Yan simply omitted the six rites of the rites, namely, Na Cai, Na Cai, Na Jin, and dowry.
It's ready, so it's time to apply.
After some discussion, the wedding date was set for July 24th. In the whole of July, everything is suitable for this day. Now it is the fifth day of July. The preparations for half a month are really hasty, but the emperor has orders and dare not
Disobey.
After setting the wedding date, Emperor Yan asked Yan Huai to go to Queen Wen to inform him of his original wishes. Preparing for the little girl's wedding would hopefully make Queen Wen feel better and relieve her illness.
In the courtyard, she listened to Emperor Yan and the ministers discussing her marriage to Yan Huai. Yuan Yuan could not understand. She only knew that she and Yan Huai were going to get married on July 24th.
"Yan Shenzhi, then let's get married on July 24th." Yuan Yuan shook his hand and said. After coming out of Qinzhengyuan, Yan Huai remained silent.
Obviously he agreed to keep the marriage simple, but when he heard Emperor Yan and the ministers discussing that all the betrothal gifts that he had so much in mind were omitted, Yan Huai felt sorry for her, and everyone was afraid of wronging him, but
No one thought that this marriage also wronged his little girl.
"Xinxin, when you get married, Gu will definitely give you the grandest wedding in the world." Yanhuai solemnly promised her that his little girl should use the best.
Yuan Yuan was so nervous that she didn't understand the meaning of his words. Instead, she asked with a depressed look, "Ah? Then don't I have to marry you twice?"
Yan Huai was amused by her words, scratched the tip of her nose and replied, "Everyone on the left and right is married to an orphan, so you won't suffer."
"I just feel so troubled and tired." She felt sleepy after having to experience another lengthy discussion between Emperor Yan and his courtiers.
The two walked as they talked, and soon arrived at Siwan Courtyard. They briefly told Queen Wen about the wedding date, and then had dinner with her. Queen Wen offered to let Yuan Yuan stay overnight, and Yan Huai went back to Jiyue Courtyard by himself.
.
After washing, Yuan Yuan nestled in Queen Wen's arms full of nostalgia, and her little mouth began to chatter.
"Auntie, Yan Shenzhi and I are married, so should I also call my aunt the queen?"
Queen Wen patted her back gently and replied, "Yes, Xinxin also wants to follow Shen Zhi and call her aunt, queen, or mother. Is Xinxin willing to call aunt mother?"
"Xinxin is willing. In Xinxin's heart, aunt is like Xinxin's mother." Yuan Yuan said and moved towards Queen Wen's ear.
"Xinxin secretly told my aunt a secret. Xinxin secretly called her mother in her heart. Everyone has a mother, and Xinxin also wants one. But I'm afraid that grandpa will cry, so Xinxin doesn't dare to have one."
Listening to Yuan Yuan's childish words, Queen Wen's eyes were filled with tears. Others always said that she was upset, but the little girl was only five years old. When other children were acting coquettishly around her parents, she was not upset. She even
Didn't ask for anything.
"From now on, my aunt will be Xinxin's mother, your Majesty's uncle will be Xinxin's father, and our Xinxin is also a child with a father and mother."
As soon as Yuan Yuan heard that Queen Wen asked Emperor Yan to be her father, the little girl immediately refused, "Auntie, I don't want His Majesty to be my father. He is Yan Mingzhu's father, and I don't want it."
Originally willing to resist Emperor Yan with all her strength, Queen Wen listened to Yan Mingzhu's words and thought that it was Emperor Yan's punishment for the dispute between the two that made the little girl unhappy. Queen Wen was also not happy that Emperor Yan would become her father.
He followed her words to comfort her.
"Okay, then Xinxin doesn't want him, and from now on my aunt will be Xinxin and Shenzhi's mother."
Yuan Yuan nodded, looked directly at Queen Wen with expectant eyes, and then whispered in a tentative tone, "Mother?"
Tears burst out of Queen Wen's eyes instantly. She hugged Yuan Yuan's little body tightly and said softly, "Mom is here."
Nanny Tang and Qing Yi, who had been accompanying Queen Wen all the time, looked at each other with tears in their eyes. Both the empress and Miss Xinxin were not favored by God, but they had never resented anything. On the contrary, they were as close as mother and daughter.
The friendship makes people cry.
Queen Wen smiled softly at the two of them, let go of Yuan Wan and let her lean against her, "Xinxin, can I give my mother to you?"
"Ah? Mommy has to take care of my mother, so she can't give it to Xinxin. It's enough for Xinxin to have Qingyi take care of her." Yuan Yuan waved her hand and refused.
The little girl didn't understand what Queen Wen said, but Aunt Tang understood that the empress was planning a way for her. She had been a master and servant for more than thirty years, so the empress was afraid that she would follow her, so she wanted to use her ignorant and innocent heart to
The young lady gave it to her, which made her happy.
Queen Wen expected that the little girl would refuse, so she naturally had a countermeasure in advance.
"Qingyi has to be by Xinxin's side all the time, but things in the East Palace are very heavy. Xinxin can't always study and handle palace affairs in the East Palace. Xinxin still has to go to school, and she has to continue reading after school. Isn't Xinxin tired?"
When Yuan Yuan thought that she would spend the rest of her life reading and writing, she quickly shook her head and refused, "No, no, I'm too tired!"
"It's better to leave the general affairs of the East Palace to grandma, so that Xinxin can have time to play with her friends."
"Okay, Xinxin, go to sleep. Mother is by your side. Tomorrow, mother will start preparing the wedding clothes for Xinxin to marry Shenzhi. She must make Xinxin the most beautiful girl." After saying this, Queen Wen patted her gently.
