Chapter 1359: Sending a Marriage Envoy
Shao Yunduan came today to report and pay his respects, and one more thing he had to do was to bring the New Year's money to the Crown Prince.
Three silver notes worth ten thousand taels each were now quietly hidden in his arms.
Even though something like this caught him off guard, he did not forget it.
Shao Yunduan placed the banknotes neatly on the table and said, "My Lord, I have an idea, but I don't know whether I should tell you or not."
The prince smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite in front of me, Shao Qing? Tell me."
"Yes, Prince."
As a marriage envoy, Shao Yunduan himself was not opposed to it. However, he was troubled by how to tell his wife about it.
If his wife knew about this, she would definitely be worried. How could he bear it?
After the tender moments that night, Shao Yunduan held Qiao Xuan in his arms and talked to her for a while. Seeing that the atmosphere was right, he slowly told her that he would be sent as a marriage envoy to escort Princess Shuangfu to Qingdi for her wedding after the New Year.
"The wedding date has been set. On the eighth day of the third month of next year, the Qingdi prince will set out to return to Qingdi, and the princess will accompany him. Don't worry, my lady. I will return to the capital in half a year at most. If you don't like staying in the capital during my absence, I will arrange for you to go to Jiangnan or go back home."
Shao Yunduan talked for a long time before he realized that his wife was listening quietly without saying a word.
He was immediately surprised. How could his wife be so calm despite such unexpected news? This was wrong. Very wrong.
"Madam, you."
Is he scared silly?
Qiao Xuan blinked, looked up at him, and said sullenly, "You are a marriage envoy? Are you going to marry Princess Shuangfu?"
"Um"
"We have to escort the princess to Qingdi to get married. It will take at least half a year?"
"Yes, but I will come back as soon as possible!"
After all, he couldn't bear to leave his wife. This topic was really unpleasant. He had just started talking about it and it was still early before departure, but he was already reluctant to leave.
Those people of the Fourth Prince are such bastards! If you have the guts, just go find the Crown Prince. What's the point of going after him?
Qiao Xuan became more depressed and said, "But, the road is long and difficult, who knows if there will be any accidents on the way? If you are delayed, and you can't come back, how can I feel at ease whether I am in the capital, in Jiangnan, or at home? Ah, I can't go back home, otherwise mother will definitely ask about it. If she asks, I dare not lie. If I tell her, won't mother and my family be worried?"
Shao Yunduan: “.”
Shao Yunduan sighed: "I know, I have wronged you."
Qiao Xuan said softly, "If you don't want to wrong me, that's fine!"
Shao Yunduan was stunned, "Of course I don't want to wrong you."
"That's what you said!"
"Of course."
He felt sorry for his wife, so how could he want to wrong her? But for some reason, why did his wife's words sound wrong?
"Okay then," Qiao Xuan smiled, raised her arms and hugged his neck, and said softly, "I want to go too, take me with you."
"Okay - eh? Madam, you -"
"You promised not to wrong me, don't go back on your word."
“.”
"My wife, this won't work!" Shao Yunduan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Qiao Xuan didn't think there was anything wrong with it. "With me accompanying you, Princess Shuangfu will have someone to keep her company. If there's anything that the princess can't tell you directly, I can tell you for her. Isn't that convenient?"
