Stepping out of the Hall of Preserving Harmony, the night breeze caressed her face, and Lin Yun let out a long sigh of relief.

Yongzheng walked to her side and said softly, "Are you tired?"

Lin Yun shook her head, a faint smile playing on her lips: "With Your Majesty by my side, I am not tired."

The smile in Yongzheng's eyes deepened, and he took her hand, saying, "I will escort you back to the palace."

On the way back to Yanxi Palace, the snow had stopped, and the moonlight shone on the palace walls, casting a silvery white glow.

Lin Yun suddenly stopped and said softly, "Your Majesty, I have a request."

Yongzheng raised an eyebrow: "Speak freely."

Lin Yun hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask for a decree for Daiyu, that she may decide her own marriage in the future. If she does not wish to marry, then she may remain unmarried for the rest of her life."

Yongzheng's heart skipped a beat. He wondered why Yun'er would ask for such an imperial decree for Daiyu. Could it be that in her heart, she still felt that it was not the best choice for him to force her back then?

So he pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Why would Yun'er think that way?"

Looking at the Emperor's profile, Lin Yun knew he was overthinking things, so she explained, "Daiyu is different from me. She lost her mother at a young age. Although she lives with her maternal grandparents, she is not an outsider. But in my opinion, Daiyu will not be able to make her own decisions about her future marriage. I do not want them to arbitrarily interfere with Daiyu's marriage."

The thought of Daiyu coughing up blood and dying in the book makes me burst into tears.

Emperor Yongzheng was shocked to see Yun'er so sad.

He always felt that Yun'er's feelings for Daiyu were excessive and that she was too intimate with her.

"Is there something else Yun'er hasn't told me?" Yongzheng asked bluntly.

"Your Majesty, as you know, I... know some things about the future... Daiyu's father will soon pass away, and his family property will be embezzled by the Jia family. Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, the second son of Jia Zheng's family, were childhood sweethearts, but they were forcibly separated. He married a girl from the Xue family, and Daiyu eventually died of heartbreak, coughing up blood." Lin Yun said, wiping the corner of her eye.

Yongzheng frowned. Jia Zheng? There seems to be such a person. He is just a junior official in the Ministry of Works, a fifth-rank official. If it weren't for the achievements of his ancestors, the Jia family wouldn't even make a ripple in the court.

However, since there has been such a dispute, he needs to think carefully about how to arrange things for the Jia family.

The most urgent task is to appease the woman in front of him: "Yun'er, don't worry, I promise you. Now I have made her a county princess. Ordinary people are not good enough for her. If Jia Baoyu is not ambitious, he will never get a chance. My brothers are no worse than others."

Lin Yun agreed, especially since there were top scholars (Zhuangyuan and Tanhua) in the imperial examinations every year. With so many talented young men, she was sure she could find a good one.

Then he became happy again and pulled the emperor back to the palace to see the children.

Yongzheng found it quite amusing to look at this unpredictable woman: indeed, a pregnant woman's emotions come and go quickly.
