Jinxiu felt happy but also a little shy when looking at such stones.

But thinking about the scene at the door just now, she still felt a little jealous.

"What do you think of what Du Juan said just now?"

"I just feel like I was really blind before and was deceived by her soft appearance. I would never look twice at such a vicious woman."

"Don't worry, Jinxiu. From now on, you are the only one in my eyes."

Jinxiu felt sweet in her heart, and the blush on her face spread from her cheeks to her neck and behind her ears.

"So Jinxiu, will you marry me?" Shi Tou was so nervous that sweat began to appear on his forehead.

Jinxiu lowered her head and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "I am willing, but I want to accompany the young lady into the palace. I can only do that after the young lady has settled down in the palace and has a familiar maid by her side."

"I'm worried that the young lady won't be used to being alone in the palace. After she gets married, it will be difficult for me to enter the palace and see her again. So, Shitou, can we do this later?"

Shi Tou was about to nod when Xu Jinyi and Third Brother Xu appeared with smiles in their eyes.

"Jinxiu is also my sister. Shitou, you want to marry her right away, but that's not possible." Third Brother Xu bumped Shitou with his shoulder.

"That's right, Jinxiu and I grew up together. Did Brother Shitou kidnap someone and bring them to my house?"

Facing the two people whose life was at stake for him, Shitou naturally flattered them: "Sister Xu, the beautiful, generous, noble and elegant Queen, and my good brother, please have some pity on me."

"I'm already 23 years old this year. Brother, you can get married and have someone to warm your bed every night. How can you still watch me sleep alone?"

"Sister Xu, you too are about to be in love with the Emperor and live happily ever after. You can't leave me alone, right?"

Shi Tou also tried hard to make a bitter expression, but in the eyes of Xu Jinyi and Xu San Ge, this expression was exaggerated and funny.

After laughing out loud, Xu Jinyi stopped teasing them: "Brother Shitou, if you want to marry our Jinxiu, then it depends on your sincerity."

"Just answer my three questions. Jinxiu is angry, what will you do?"

"Hooray?" Shitou asked immediately.

Xu Jinyi didn't say anything, just looked at him.

Shitou added, "Coax her, buy her things, give her gifts, and coax her until she's happy."

Xu Jinyi still didn't speak.

"Persistently pester her until she's happy."

Hearing this, Xu Jinyi nodded in satisfaction: "The first way for a couple to get along is to communicate, never engage in a cold war."

"If I find out that you bully Jinxiu, you're done. Although Jinxiu has no parents, we are her family. Understand?"

Stone nodded.

Jinxiu's eyes were red and she looked at Xu Jinyi with tears in her eyes.

"Second question, if a woman subtly expresses her affection for you and is willing to be your concubine, what would you do?"

"No. I will never give any woman the chance to defile me. My body and soul belong to Jinxiu alone."

"uh-huh?"

"I will tell Jinxiu about this and tell her everything."

"The third question is very cheesy, but very important: should we protect the elder or the younger?"

In ancient times, giving birth was like walking through the gates of hell. This question was often heard. The reason why Xu Jinyi asked was because Xiaoqi had just told her that if they got married in the future, Jinxiu would die in childbirth.

"Bao Da, there must be big before there must be small, I understand this truth." Shi Tou could empathize with this question, because his father chose Bao Da and that was why he lost his mother.

Xu Jinyi looked at him deeply and said, "Remember what you said."

If that day really comes, Xu Jinyi will definitely not let Jinxiu die.

The queen's coronation ceremony was to be held in ten days, so Jinxiu and Shitou's wedding was scheduled for a month later.

During these ten days, Du Juan tried every means to see Xu Jinyi, but Xu Jinyi never gave her the chance.

Ten days passed quickly, but to Fu Shiyan, it felt extremely long.

Because Xu Jinyi did not live in the manor, he had no way of sneaking out of the palace to meet people.

After waiting day and night, the day of the queen's coronation ceremony finally arrived.

Xu Jinyi, wearing a bright red wedding dress with a pattern of birds paying homage to the phoenix, was led by Fu Shiyan to the throne room, where she dignifiedly accepted the worship of civil and military officials.

She was so beautiful today. Lin Ze knelt below her, pursed his lips tightly, and felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

After leaving him, Xu Jinyi seemed to have changed. She was no longer as unknown, unadorned, and non-competitive as before.

Now she is gorgeous and her face has an extra layer of charm, just like a ripe peach.

At this moment, Lin Ze hated Fu Shiyan for taking Xu Jinyi away.

After the ceremony, Xu Jinyi was taken to Kunning Palace by the nanny.

Seeing the bridal veil on the bed and remembering what her mother had said that morning about the positions that would help pregnancy after intercourse, Xu Jinyi's face flushed so much that it felt like it was burning.

"Empress, please have your meal first. The Emperor may still have some social engagements and won't be back soon. I'll leave now."

The bride should actually be wearing a veil and waiting for the emperor to come, but the emperor has already ordered Xu Jinyi to do as she pleases.

Because she hadn't eaten for a day, she was worried that Xu Jinyi was starving.

The nanny went out, leaving only Xu Jinyi and Jinxiu in the room.

After the people left, Xu Jinyi slumped his shoulders, raised his hands high and stretched his body lazily.

"I'm almost fainting from exhaustion. Jinxiu, please help me undress. I can't hold it any longer."

He was not allowed to eat or drink water, and was not even allowed to go to the toilet. He had to hold his urine, and every step Xu Jinyi took was uncomfortable.

"Jinxiu, you should eat quickly. You must have been hungry all day." After eating, Xu Jinyi pulled Jinxiu to sit down.

"Your Majesty, this is against the rules. I will go downstairs to eat later."

"There are no rules for just the two of us. I can't finish all this food. Come and sit down."

Because the current emperor would arrive at any time, Jinxiu ate very quickly and Xu Jinyi did not try to persuade her.

"My Lady, please enjoy your meal. I will have someone prepare some hot water. If you call me during the night, I will bring some water in."

Before entering the palace, Jinxiu learned the rules from the nanny for a period of time and understood some of these things.

"Please bring in a bucket now. I've been sweating a lot today and I want to take a bath."

"Your Majesty, the Emperor hasn't arrived yet." The wedding dress should only be taken off after the Emperor arrives.

"Listen to me."

How could she have time to take a bath when that bastard man came? With his wolf-like and tiger-like eyes, she was afraid that there would be a lot of trouble tonight.

Having not seen him for more than ten days, Xu Jinyi missed him very much.

Stepping into the hot water sprinkled with flower petals, Xu Jinyi leaned over the edge of the bathtub and closed her eyes comfortably.

"Jinxiu, give me a massage on my shoulders. When I'm done soaking, you can go down and rest. You've been very busy today. Just let another maid keep watch tonight. Don't get yourself tired."

The comfortable feeling came so much that Xu Jinyi almost fell asleep.

Jinxiu was pinching it when she saw the emperor come in silently. Just as she was about to salute, he waved his hand and asked her to leave.

After silently bowing to the emperor, Jinxiu retreated and closed the door.
