Queen Hu was stunned. She looked up at Xiao Chongjun and said, "The child's surname is Xiao? Didn't His Majesty say that he was just joking with His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Xiao Chongjun said: "I was joking, to test him, but Yuan Chen took it seriously and even thought of the name of the child."
Queen Hu was extremely surprised. The Yuan family in Beichen only had a single member like Yuan Chen. If the child's surname was Xiao, wouldn't the Yuan family cease to exist?
Xiao Chongjun looked down at her and said: "Yuan Chen has great wisdom, and the son born between him and Jialan will definitely be outstanding. If I give the country of Nanyue to this nephew in the future, will you blame me?"
Queen Hu was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what he meant. She smiled and said: "Your Majesty, do you think I will care about this?
His Majesty has only been on the throne for a short time, but all his concubines have noticed that the responsibilities of this position are too heavy.
Since you became the emperor, you have not felt comfortable for a day. I know that this emperor is not that easy to do.
If we have a son, I hope he can be free and do what he likes."
Xiao Chongjun held her hand and said, "You still understand me best."
Yuan Chen taught him a truth, that is, it does not matter what the name of the country is, what is important is whether the ruler has the ability to protect the people of the world.
The future belongs to the children, and he looks forward to their world.
...
Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day when Xiao Jialan got married.
In order to send the princess off to get married, the people of Nanyue hung up red silk in every house. On the streets, big red lanterns were hung all over the long streets, and the whole view was prosperous.
In the palace.
Hundreds of officials stood on both sides, waiting to see the princess off.
Xiao Jialan wore the wedding dress carefully prepared for her by her brother.
This wedding dress took a month to weave in the weaving workshop. The wedding dress is embroidered with a soaring phoenix, which is lifelike. In addition to gold and silver embroidery thread, it is also decorated with pearls and gems. It is gorgeous, exquisite, and luxurious.
Not to mention the phoenix crown on the head, ninety-nine southern beads were used.
Su Xinyue looked at Xiao Jialan's outfit and was stunned and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you have put all the treasury of Nanyue on Jialan."
Ye Jinming said: "After all, she is the only sister, so naturally I want to give her the best things."
Su Xinyue nodded, her gaze fell on Xiao Jialan with envy: "It's so beautiful, it feels like Jialan's whole body is glowing."
Ye Jinming held her hand and said, "It looks good on you. When we get married, I will prepare something like this for you."
Su Xinyue said with a smile: "No, this is too exaggerated. You can see how heavy Jialan is when she walks.
Your Majesty is doing this to support his sister and show off their Nanyue's confidence. There is really no need for us to follow suit, it's better to just be normal."
Ye Jinming looked at him and said, "You really feel sorry for me."
Su Xinyue raised her chin and said, "The Duke's Palace is not as wealthy as your Majesty. We still have a large family to support."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of drums.
Su Xinyue pulled Ye Jinming and said excitedly: "It's begun."
Because the princess wants to say goodbye to His Majesty when she gets married, so today's ceremony is for the princess to get married.
Yuan Chen took Xiao Jialan's hand, and they walked on the red carpet to His Highness Qinzheng.
Xiao Chongjun and Queen Hu stood in front of the palace, looking at their sister and brother-in-law at the foot of the steps, with deep reluctance in their eyes.
"bye."
Following the official's voice, Xiao Jialan and Yuan Chen knelt on the ground and bowed three times.
After seeing the ceremony, Xiao Chongjun walked down the steps and reached out to help his sister up.
