Chapter 610 Matchmaker's Words and Zhong Cui's Night Talk
On March 26, Chen Xingshan’s wife Yuan came as a matchmaker to propose marriage. Of course, before that, in order to show the importance of marriage, on March 22, Xue Ning took her son out to visit a friend’s house. On the way I met Qi Tai's family of three who had never taken their daughter out before. Qi Tai spoke carefully to Xu Xiyang and asked him a few questions. Xue Ning also talked to Qi Tai, Yu Minyue and his wife. After a few words, Xue Ning noticed that someone on the carriage borrowed by the Qi family seemed to be secretly watching his son.
Xue Ning is of course satisfied with this marriage. His second son wants to take the civil service route, and Qi Tai is not only a close confidant of Yun Xi, but also a civil service official who came from the imperial examination. Of course, he cannot help Xi Yang in the exam and dare not help him. Although he was very busy, becoming an official would be very useful in the future; not to mention that that night when he saw Qi Yaner, although she was frightened, she was not confused at all, and she was a housewife who could be the master of the house.
But having said that, it was useless even if he was dissatisfied with the marriage. He didn't know whether this was Xiyao's intention or Yunxi's intention, but no matter which one it was, he could not violate it.
Xu Xiyang's own feelings were very strange. He did not expect that the woman he rescued two months ago, the woman who could not remember her appearance but was calm and composed, would become his wife. This was something he had never encountered before. He didn't know how to react to the situation.
He knew what marriage was like. He imagined that he and Qi Qier would live like parents in the future, and he didn't feel anything wrong. This was his only relatively clear feeling about this marriage.
Of course, Yan'er has her own thoughts, but her thoughts are even more confused. She has no idea how she should react to this marriage. However, in a traditional Chinese marriage, the woman does not need to make a statement, as long as It would be fine if she did not express her objections to her parents. For those families who do not value their daughters, it is useless for their daughters to express their objections clearly.
After the marriage was officially proposed and the marriage was accepted, both parties returned the marriage certificate. Although the man and woman were not yet married at this time, the marriage was already protected by law, and neither party had the right to unilaterally dissolve the marriage or refuse to get married.
On the first day of April, Yu Minyue brought her to the palace to pay her respects. Xiyao looked at her carefully for a while, then took off the gold bracelet on her wrist and gave it to her. It was not unusual for the queen to reward others, but she took off her usual The gold bracelet she is wearing as a reward has an extraordinary meaning. At this time, it shows her recognition of Yan'er.
Yu Minyue breathed a sigh of relief, and Yan'er accepted Xiyao's reward after declining.
After that, the Xue Qi family began to carry out the marriage procedures step by step according to the six rites. Under normal circumstances, the two of them would officially get married in about a year.

Yunxi stretched, pointed to the memorials on the northeast corner of the table and told Huang Lu: "Send these memorials to the General Affairs Department."
Huang Fu said to Yunxi: "Your Majesty, should you light the lamp now, or wait until after dinner?"
Yunxi pushed away the memorial in front of him: "Why light a lamp! The rest of the memorials are those that have been sentenced to death by the local government and asked the court for permission to execute them. Even if the approval is completed now, it will not be sent to the local government until tomorrow. It doesn't matter if it takes a day. It’s a big deal, let’s deal with it tomorrow.”
With that said, Yunxi stood up and walked out of Qianqing Palace.
Wang Xi caught up and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to Kunning Palace or Zhongcui Palace?"
"Go to Zhongcui Palace. Miaojin is about to give birth, please stay with her more." Yunxi said.
The king agreed and sent people to Zhongcui Palace to make preparations.
After a while, Yunxi came to Zhongcui Palace and went straight to Miaojin's bedroom. Miaojin was not like Xiyao, who went to the palace gate to greet Yunxi with a pregnant belly when she was nine months pregnant. She waited in the bedroom.
After Yunxi entered the bedroom, he stood up from the bed and saluted Yunxi slightly: "I have seen your Majesty."
"Oh, what are you doing at this time? Sit back on the bed." Yunxi came up and helped Miaojin sit back. Although it is good for pregnant women to move more, it is obviously not referring to pregnant women who are about to give birth.
Today is April 17th. Both the experienced midwives and the imperial doctor said that she will give birth in the next few days. Yunxi comes to see her every day, sometimes staying the night and sometimes not, but
They would all have dinner with her.
The two of them were eating face to face, and Yun He said, "You are due to give birth in the next few days. How about I leave a midwife to watch in Zhongcui Palace day and night, just in case?"
"No need," Miao Jin smiled sweetly: "I heard that women will feel it before giving birth. It will be too late to notify the midwife and the imperial doctor by then."
"It's better to keep a midwife. It's just a matter of these few days. Just give the midwife more money." Yunxi was still worried.
Although the eldest sister's experience told her that there was really no need to keep a midwife in the house, but since Yunxi cared about her, how could she refuse and said with a smile: "Thank you husband."
After a while, the two of them finished their meal. Yunxi had nothing to do today, so he stayed in Zhongcui Palace with Miaojin. Of course Miaojin was happy. Although people came into the palace every day to talk to her, her husband was still different.
.
"I am not alone during the day. The eldest sister and the third sister take turns entering the palace to chat with me. The third sister just wants to pay it forward. After all, she has to make the decision on a lot of things in Prince An's palace; the eldest sister now leaves everything to Gao Chi's wife,
I have a lot of free time. Originally, after Gao Chi's wife gave birth to a baby at the end of last year, she should have taken Gao Sui and his wife to Su Fan. But firstly, to take care of me, and secondly, Gao Sui's wife was also pregnant, so the eldest sister stayed here for the time being." Miao.
Jin said.
"Hey, speaking of it, Aunt Twenty-two married Uncle Twenty-two in the first year of Jianye's reign. Why is there still no movement in her stomach?" Yun He asked.
Although Yunxi asked casually when he had nothing to do, theoretically speaking, this was also within the scope of his concern. As the patriarch of the Zhu family, he had the responsibility to care about every family. King An and Zhu Ying have been married for two years and still have no children, even ordinary people.
It is also a big deal for ordinary people. Some impatient families may even divorce their daughter-in-law and marry another.
When she mentioned this, Miao Jin also frowned: "The third sister is also worried. Since last year, the third sister has given the favor to the two little maids and asked them to serve the third brother-in-law. But so far, no one has any stomachaches.
."
Seeing Miao Jin's expression, Yun He secretly regretted why he had brought it up and started talking about other things. Miao Jin didn't want to think too much and followed Yun He's tone and changed the topic.
Early the next morning, when Yunxi got up, Miaojin was still sleeping soundly. He quietly walked into Miaojin's bedroom, kissed Miaojin on the forehead, turned and left the bedroom. But what he didn't know was that after he left, Miaojin
Jin immediately opened his eyes, touched his forehead with his hand, smiled, and fell asleep again.
