Chapter 49: Finalizing the Wedding Date
Yan Huai tidied up the messy sleeves and her crumpled clothes for Yuan Yuan, and led her out of the room, Tsing Yi and Xiao Dezi followed left and right.
A quarter of an hour later, several people arrived in front of the Qinzheng Yuan.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness and Miss Xinxin have arrived." Juan respectfully welcomed people into the courtyard, and Emperor Yan and Yuan Zhentian were already waiting for them.
"See Father." / "See Your Majesty. "I was willing to follow Yan Huai to salute Emperor Yan honestly, and the title is no longer as close as before.
Emperor Yan was now full of the marriage of the two of them, but he didn't notice the change in the original title, raised his hand falsely, and motioned for the two to get up.
"Sit down, I called you here to ask you what you think about the marriage."
"Shenzhi, your queen mother told me your wishes, as the prince of Dayan, you have wronged you in the palace to get married, I have discussed with your queen mother, and when you come to the next day, you will hold a big wedding ceremony in the East Palace."
Emperor Yan said while paying attention to the changes in the expression on Yan Huai's face, whether it was true or false, Emperor Yan hoped that he could accept it, even if it was not suitable to marry in July, but Empress Wen's declining body could not allow him to be taboo so much.
"The son-in-law has discussed with Xinxin, and he has no opinion on the marriage, and he is bothered by his father's arrangement." Yan Huai knew that Emperor Yan wanted to test his attitude, and he could rejoice for his mother, he didn't feel wronged, and he was only full of joy when he could marry his little girl under the witness of his mother.
"Xinxin has no opinion, as long as he can make his aunt happy, Xinxin is willing to do anything." Yuan Yuan also followed Yan Huai to express his position.
Since the two parties had no opinions, Emperor Yan began to discuss the details of the marriage with Yuan Zhentian in front of them.
After a short time, officials such as Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the head of the Qin Tianjian came to assist Emperor Yan in discussing the details of the prince's marriage.
Because the original wish was to have a marriage contract with Yan Huai since he was a child, Emperor Yan waved his hand and directly omitted the name of Nacai, Naji Nazheng, and dowry in the six ceremonies, which Queen Wen had prepared in Weiyang Hall and East Palace early, so it was the time to invite.
After some discussion, the wedding date is scheduled for July 24, in the whole of July, this day is suitable for everything, and now it is the fifth day of the seventh month, half a month of preparation is really in a hurry, but the emperor has a fate, dare not disobey.
After setting the wedding date, Emperor Yan asked Yan Huai to go to Queen Wen with her original wish to inform her, and to prepare for the wedding for the little girl, she thought that coming would also make Queen Wen feel better and delay her condition.
In the courtyard, listening to Emperor Yan and those ministers discussing her marriage with Yan Huai, she didn't understand her wishes, she only knew that she was going to marry Yan Huai on July 24.
"Yan Shenzhi, then let's get married on July 24." Yuan Yuan shook his hand and said, Coming out of the Qinzheng Courtyard, Yan Huai didn't speak all the time.
Obviously, he agreed to keep the marriage simple, but when he heard Emperor Yan and the minister discuss that the original marriage ceremony that his heart should have been omitted, Yan Huai only felt sorry for her, and everyone was afraid of wronging him, but no one thought that this marriage was also wronged by his little girl.
"Xinxin, when you are ready, Lone will definitely give you the grandest wedding in the world." Yan Huai solemnly promised her that his little girl should use the best.
Yuan Yuan didn't understand the deep meaning of his words, but asked with a depressed face, "Huh? Am I going to marry you twice? β
Yan Huai was amused by her words, scratched the tip of her nose and replied, "The left and right are married to Gu, and you don't suffer." β
"I just feel so troublesome and tired." To go through another long discussion between Emperor Yan and the courtiers, she was sleepy to listen to.
The two talked and walked, and soon arrived at Siwan Courtyard, briefly told Queen Wen about the wedding date, and then accompanied her to dinner, Queen Wen offered to let the original wish stay overnight, and Yan Huai went back to Jiyue Courtyard by himself.
After washing, Yuan Yuan nestled in Queen Wen's arms full of affection, and his small mouth began to horn.
"Auntie, I got married to Yan Shenzhi, so do I have to call my aunt the queen mother?"
Empress Wen gently patted her on the back and replied, "Yes, Xinxin should also follow Shenzhi to call her aunt and aunt, or call her mother, is Xinxin willing to call her aunt her mother?" β
"The heart is willing, in the heart of the heart, the aunt is like the mother of the heart." As he spoke, he moved to Empress Wen's ear.
"Xinxin secretly told my aunt a secret, Xinxin secretly called my aunt my mother in my heart, everyone has a mother, and Xinxin also wants to have it, but I'm afraid that my grandfather will cry, so Xinxin won't dare to ask for it."
The childish words of the original wish made Queen Wen's eyes moist, and others always said that her heart was troublesome, but the little girl was only five years old, and when other children were coquettish around her father, she didn't have a heart, she didn't even ask for anything.
"In the future, my aunt will be the mother of my heart, Uncle My Majesty will be my father, and we will also be children with my father."
As soon as she heard that Empress Wen asked Emperor Yan to be her father, the little girl immediately refused, "Auntie, I don't want Your Majesty to be my father, he is Yan Mingzhu's father, I don't want it." β
Originally wished to resist Emperor Yan all her body, Queen Wen listened to Yan Mingzhu in her words, thinking that it was Emperor Yan's punishment of the dispute between the two that made the little girl unhappy, and Queen Wen was not very happy that Emperor Yan would be her father, so she followed her words to comfort her.
"Okay, that heart doesn't want him, and my aunt will be the mother of heart and caution in the future."
Yuan Yuan nodded, looked directly at Empress Wen with expectant eyes, and then whispered in a tentative tone, "Mother? β
Empress Wen's tears burst out of her eyes instantly, hugged her little body tightly, and gently responded, "Mother is here." β
Mama Tang and Tsing Yi, who have been accompanying Queen Wen, also looked at each other with teary eyes, Niangniang and Miss Xinxin are people who are not favored by God, but they have never resented anything, but their friendship like a mother and daughter is tearful.
Empress Wen smiled softly at the two of them, letting go of her wish to let her lean on herself, "Xinxin, will my mother give you Mama?" β
"Huh? Mama wants to take care of her mother, she can't give her heart, and it's enough for her heart to be taken care of by Tsing Yi. "I waved my hand and refused.
The little girl doesn't understand Queen Wen's words, but Mama Tang understands, Niangniang is planning a way for her, the master and servant have been for more than 30 years, and Niangniang is afraid that she will follow, so she wants to hand over the ignorant and naΓ―ve Miss Xinxin to her, so she can be absolutely thoughtful.
Queen Wen expected that the little girl would refuse, so she naturally had a countermeasure.
"Tsing Yi has to follow Xinxin all the time, but the East Palace is full of things, Xinxin can't always learn to deal with palace affairs in the East Palace, Xinxin still has to go to school, and he has to continue to read after school, isn't Xinxin tired?"
As soon as I thought that I would read and read in the future, I quickly shook my head and refused, "Don't, I'm too tired!" β
"The chores of the East Palace should be handed over to Mama, so that Xinxin will have time to play with his friends."
"Okay, Xinxin sleeps, my mother is by my side, and tomorrow my mother will start preparing the wedding dress for Xinxin and Shenzhi, and I must make Xinxin the most beautiful little girl." After Empress Wen finished speaking, she gently patted the thin quilt on her body and coaxed her to sleep.
