Xie Yan was sitting in the pavilion in the garden of Luo Mansion. When he saw Luo Junyao coming from the path, the expression on his face softened a bit.
When she stepped into the pavilion, Xie Yan just said: "We have officially decided to get married. Do you plan to call me Prince from now on?"
Facing his smiling eyes, Luo Junyao felt shy for a moment, but she quickly adjusted her attitude, "Then what should I call you?"
"How do you want to call me?" Xie Yan raised his eyebrows.
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "Xie Yan? Zhifei? Ayan? Yanyan?"
The more he spoke, the more outrageous he became. Even a person like Xie Yan couldn't help but look a little stiff.
After a long while, Xie Yan sighed helplessly and said, "Shao Yao, you should call me by my name."
Luo Junyao looked up at him, tilted his head slightly and smiled at him: "Ayan."
Xie Yan's heart moved, and he stared at the smiling girl in front of him without saying anything for a long time.
Luo Junyao looked at him worriedly, "What's wrong?"
Xie Yan chuckled lightly, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I was just thinking...it would be nice if I could get married sooner."
Luo Junyao looked at Xie Yan and was speechless.
Are the ancients so weird? Before, they rejected people thousands of miles away, but then turned around and wanted to get married as soon as possible. There is no need to overdo it.
"What?" Xie Yan said softly: "Shaoyao, do you think it's too urgent?"
Luo Jun shook his head, "Of course. Your Majesty, let me remind you that we have actually known each other for less than two months."
"..." Xie Yan was speechless for a moment. Calculating that they had only known each other for less than two months, they had only met for only ten times. Of course, for two unmarried men and women who were not related by blood,
This number of meetings is actually a bit too high.
If someone had told him in the past that he would pay so much attention to a girl he had only known for such a short time, he might not have believed it himself.
Xie Yan pressed his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Maybe, I always feel as if we have known each other for a long time."
Luo Junyao thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because... the things we encountered may not happen to others who have known each other for a long time?"
It's true when you think about it.
But it was really not a pleasant thing. Either he was being chased or she was being chased. The first few times were even more embarrassing.
The two looked at each other, obviously thinking of the same thing, and both couldn't help laughing.
Xie Yan pulled Luo Junyao to sit down in the pavilion. Luo Junyao asked curiously: "Dad is willing to let me come out to see you now. Do you have something to tell me?"
Xie Yan nodded and smiled: "Shao Yao is so smart."
Luo Junyao thought to himself: What's so hard to guess? Although the marriage has been agreed, his father may not be in a good mood at the moment. If there is nothing serious, he may not let them meet in private.
Luo Junyao thought for a while, "Are you going to the palace to see the Empress Dowager?"
Xie Yan nodded and said, "I want to go into the palace to see the Emperor's Aunt. The Emperor's Aunt originally wanted to issue a decree to marry her, but I stopped her."
He and Jun Yao were able to confirm their relationship and marriage so quickly. It has to be said that the emperor's aunt played a big role in it. But Xie Yan still didn't want the decree granting marriage. He hoped that their marriage would be like ordinary people.
It's generally done, even if it costs a little more trouble.
Luo Junyao didn't care whether the marriage was granted or not. She quite liked the Empress Dowager, so she nodded and said, "Okay, when will you go?"
Xie Yan smiled and said: "Tomorrow, there will be a court meeting tomorrow. I will pick you up after the court meeting."
"Okay, it just so happens that I won't be going to the academy tomorrow. Do I need to prepare anything?" This can be considered a formal meeting with Xie Yan's elders, right?
Xie Yan said: "No need to prepare anything, no need to worry, the Queen Mother is very nice, and she likes you very much."
"I see."
When everyone saw Brother Luo Jinyan personally escorting Xie Yan and his party out of the gate of the Luo Mansion, everyone in the imperial city knew that the marriage between the Luo family and the Prince Regent's Mansion was already confirmed.
Apparently some people secretly hoped that such plots as Luo Yun refusing to marry without giving face, or Miss Luo being dissatisfied with the marriage choice and making a fuss on the spot, which usually only happen in story books, did not happen in reality.
The marriage between the Prince Regent's Palace and the Luo family is certain, and I don't know how many people will stay up all night tonight.
This is not only a simple marriage between two families, but also means that the situation and power distribution in the court will once again undergo earth-shaking changes.
Only a white candle was lit, and in the dimly lit room, Xie Oryun, who had been injured for many days, still looked gloomy.
Compared with Luo Mingxiang's arrogance and arrogance on his wedding day, he was much thinner and paler, and it seemed that he had been living in a miserable state during this period.
"Xie Yan and the Luo family are getting married?" These words seemed to be squeezed out from the gaps between Xie Oryun's teeth.
There was a person standing in the shadows at the other end of the room. The person said solemnly: "Yes, it's not surprising that you didn't know that you couldn't go out. Now...this news has spread throughout the imperial city."
Xie Oryun raised his head, glanced at the man, and sneered: "Didn't you say that Xie Yan won't marry the Luo family?"
The man was also a little angry and said coldly: "The Luo family and Xie Yan may have been planning for a long time, and no news was revealed before. I originally thought it was wishful thinking of the Empress Dowager, until Xie Yan invited Princess Taihua back... and then tried to stop it
, it’s too late.”
Xieyouyun said: "Luo Yun and Xie Yan are married... They have almost all the most elite soldiers and horses in Dasheng in their hands, and Xie Yan is still the regent... In this way, Madam's big event..."
The man in the darkness also fell silent, and after a while he said: "It's just an engagement now, the wedding date has not been decided yet. Maybe we still have time."
Xie Oryun smiled maliciously and said: "What time can we have? Is there anyone who dares to break up Xie Yan's marriage? Or..."
"What?"
"If the bride dies, there will naturally be no marriage."
The room was quiet for a while, and then the person in the darkness said: "I thought you had some clever tricks. You could catch a young girl from the Luo family and do this to yourself, causing us to lose our troops. I heard what you mean, Miss Luo."
With extraordinary skills, you... still want to kill her again?"
Xie Oryun's face was gloomy, and he raised his head to stare at the man in the darkness, but could not say anything to refute.
He was really embarrassed by Luo Junyao that time. If something went wrong again, the lady would probably not let him go.
The man in the darkness said: "First pass this news to Madam. Madam asked you to bring people to Shangyong, but she did not specify any important tasks. She must have other plans. Don't let this matter affect Madam's major affairs.
"
Xieyou Yun said in a deep voice: "I understand."
The man laughed inexplicably and said: "Although the young master's injury has not healed, it has improved a bit, but... I still advise you not to go out to seek death. The spies sent by Xie Yan to hunt you have not withdrawn yet.
.I heard that Qu Tiange has been hunted to the north, please take care of yourself."
After that, the sound of opening and closing the door sounded, and after a while, the room returned to its original tranquility.
Xie Oryun sat alone under the lamp for a long time, then stood up and staggered back to the bed not far away to lie down again.
The place where he lives now is very simple. The small room only has a bed, a table and a few stools.
His dignified young master, the Xie'ou family, had never suffered such grievances even though his family was in dire straits.
Thinking of who had given all these things to him, the hatred in Xianyun Yun's eyes was even more intense.
The next morning, Xie Yan came back with Luo Yun.
The Dasheng Dynasty held a court meeting every five days, and as both of them were important ministers of the court, they naturally had to attend. After the court, Xie Yan did not return to the Regent's Palace, and went directly to the Luo family with Luo Yun to take Luo Junyao into the palace.
"Dad, Ayan!" Luo Junyao saw the two of them coming side by side and greeted them happily.
Luo Yun was very happy to see his daughter, but when he heard that voice, his face turned ugly.
Luo Jun walked over and took Luo Yun's arm, "Daddy will be back early."
After all, he still loved his daughter. Luo Yun reached out and patted his daughter's little head, showing a proud smile to Xie Yan.
"..." Xie Yan looked calm and smiled.
Fighting requires two people, one person cannot fight.
Luo Yun didn't think it was interesting to see Xie Yan like this, so he had to say to Luo Jun sternly: "Today you are going to the palace to pay homage to the Empress Dowager, and your father and your mother will not accompany you. Once you enter the palace, don't be in front of the Empress Dowager.
Naughty. The Queen Mother is not in good health right now, so don’t keep disturbing her, okay?"
Luo Junyao nodded and said, "Dad, don't worry, I know it, and my mother also warned me."
"That's good." Luo Yun looked at his daughter, then at Xie Yan, and sighed: "I'll leave it to you."
Xie Yan cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry."
"Go, go." Luo Yundao said, "Go early and come back early. Don't let the Empress Dowager wait for you."
Luo Jun shook his head in agreement, and the two of them excused themselves to Luo Yun, then turned and walked outside.
Luo Yun looked at the backs of the two figures, one tall and one short, walking away side by side, feeling infinitely sad in his heart.
In the palace, the Empress Dowager had been waiting early.
Although she is seriously ill, the Queen Mother is in great spirits today because of this happy event that she originally thought was hopeless.
Sitting on the soft couch in the main hall, I would ask from time to time if anyone was here.
Eunuch Huang stood aside and replied with a smile, "It's almost time. Your Majesty will go to the Luo Mansion to pick up Miss Luo after the court. It's almost time. Don't be anxious, Queen Mother."
The Empress Dowager sighed and said, "I just said that I would have someone pick up the little girl. Zhi Fei had to go down to the court by herself."
Eunuch Huang said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager sent someone to pick her up, which will certainly make Miss Luo more respectable and prestige, but going in person will make it appear that the prince values the future princess and is more sincere. General Luo will surely be happier."
There is always a lack of face at home, so naturally sincerity is more important.
The Queen Mother thought about it and said with a smile: "It seems that Zhifei still values that little girl very much. The thousand-year-old iron tree has blossomed, so I can rest assured."
She knew the child she had raised, and the Empress Dowager knew that Xie Yan would never marry the Luo family for the sake of the Luo family's power.
Then it can only be that he has really taken a fancy to the little girl from the Luo family.
The little emperor who was sitting next to Empress Dowager Zhu asked curiously: "Emperor's grandmother, is it the emperor's uncle who wants to marry A Cheng an aunt?"
The Empress Dowager waved to the little emperor lovingly, pulled her grandson to her and then smiled and said: "No, your uncle is going to marry the princess, and A Cheng will have an aunt in the future."
"Will Auntie like A Cheng?"
The Empress Dowager said: "Who wouldn't like Ah Cheng?"
The little emperor said happily: "Then Ah Cheng also likes my little aunt!"
The emperor's uncle is good at everything, but he is still a little scared if he is too serious. In the future, if he has an aunt, if the emperor punishes him, can he ask his aunt to intercede for him?
The little emperor thought happily, and he was very curious about the future aunt who dared to marry his imperial uncle.
"His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has arrived!" The voice of the chamberlain came from far outside the palace.
Eunuch Huang smiled and said, "The prince is here."
The Empress Dowager was very happy, but it was difficult for her to even sit up now, so she had to say to Mr. Huang: "Go and greet him quickly."
Eunuch Huang nodded in agreement. Before he could walk out, the little emperor had already run out quickly, "Grandma Huang, A Cheng is also going to greet the emperor's uncle and aunt!"
