Emperor Dongling nodded.
The father and son exchanged glances, and Nangong Honglie spoke.
"Your Majesty, I only have one daughter, Xue'er. Our family has finally been reunited, but we will be apart for the rest of our lives.
My request is very simple. After the wedding, they must spend one of three days in the capital at the General's residence."
Emperor Dong Ling was quite surprised: "That's it?"
Nangong Honglie nodded heavily: "Yes, that's the only request!"
"What's the difficulty? As long as they are willing, they can live in the General's Mansion every day. As long as they come to the palace every now and then to see me and their mother.
In short, the children can live their lives however they wish, and I will not interfere or force them."
"really?"
"Of course I take it seriously! My words are my bond. Do you have any other requests, such as a betrothal gift?"
"I have no other requests."
Emperor Dongling laughed heartily: "Then I will ask Minister Zeng to calculate an auspicious date, and I will grant them the marriage."
"It's up to the Emperor to decide."
The few of them discussed the marriage easily and happily.
Nangong Honglie and his son were about to say goodbye when Nangong Jiu rushed into the imperial study with Xiao Wang.
"Grandfather, grandfather..."
Emperor Dongling was overjoyed and quickly picked up the little guy: "Jiu'er is here? Where's your mother?"
"Mother, behind."
Nangong Honglie laughed heartily.
"When Jiuer came back yesterday, she couldn't speak clearly. Maybe she was happy to be home, so now she can speak a few words."
Emperor Dongling looked at Nangong Jiu in his arms.
"Jiu'er, you played a great role in the surrender of Xiyue. Grandfather Emperor took out 10,000 taels of silver notes from the national treasury as a reward, and privately rewarded you with another box of silver."
Nangong Jiu's eyes sparkled with red stars. In his excitement, he forgot to proceed step by step and blurted out three words: "So many!"
Xiao Wang quickly reminded: "Your Majesty, take it easy, otherwise others will be surprised."
"knew."
Nangong Jiu twisted his little body happily.
[Wow, so much silver! One box has several thousand taels, enough for us to travel next year.]
[As for the ten thousand taels of silver, give it to mother as a dowry.]
After hearing this, Emperor Dongling asked tentatively, "Do you approve of your mother and uncle getting married?"
"Agreed, that's a good thing!"
"Haha...Okay, you are a sensible and good child!"
After praising him, Emperor Dongling turned around and ordered Eunuch Wei: "Go and get the silver and banknotes!"
Eunuch Wei agreed and went out.
At this time, Nangong Yunxue stepped into the imperial study, took a few quick steps forward and saluted: "Xue'er greets the emperor!"
"Get up, have you been to Kunning Palace?"
Nangong Yunxue smiled and shook her head: "Not yet, I came directly to the Imperial Study."
"Well, stay in the palace for two more days this time. The Queen talks about you and your daughter every day."
"yes!"
Nangong Yunxue and Nangong Honglie, father and son, greeted each other and sat down.
At this time, Eunuch Wei brought in a box of silver and presented the silver notes.
Emperor Dong Ling took it and handed it to the little man in his arms: "Here, it's all yours."
Nangong Jiu took it with a smile: [Hehe... I love silver the most, thank you, Grandfather!]
With a wave of his hand, he put the silver into his small pocket, slid down the ground holding the banknotes, and ran to Nangong Yunxue.
"Grandfather Emperor, the reward is for you!"
Nangong Yunxue shook her head: "Since it is a reward from your royal grandfather, you can keep it. You don't have to give it to mother."
"Dowry, to support myself." Nangong Jiu explained seriously.
Nangong Yunxue's face suddenly turned red all the way to her neck.
"Jiu'er..."
"Keep it, don't worry." Nangong Jiu patted his chest.
Everyone present understood what the villain meant.
They all advised: "If Jiu'er can be assured in this way, you can keep it."
Nangong Yunxue hugged Nangong Jiu into her arms.
Such a small person, but she always thinks about herself. It must be that she has accumulated blessings for several lifetimes to have such a mother-daughter relationship.
Hearing his mother's thoughts, Nangong Jiu folded the banknote with a smile, put it in his mother's arms, patted it, and felt relieved only after it was safely put away.
Emperor Dongling said to Nangong Honglie and his son, "Let's have lunch in the palace and get together."
Nangong Yunxue held Nangong Jiu and stood up: "Let's go to Kunning Palace to see the queen first."
"Okay, go ahead and tell the Queen that we'll have lunch together in the imperial kitchen."
"yes!"
After leaving the imperial study, Nangong Jiu whispered in Nangong Yunxue's ear: "Mother, the emperor's grandfather and his maternal grandfather are discussing your marriage with your uncle."
"Oh, how did you know?"
[I heard that Grandfather said he'd ask the Ministry of Rites to choose a good day. Jiuer, I'm happy for you.]
Nangong Yunxue kissed Nangong Jiu's little face: "Well, uncle and mother love you."
"I know. By the way, why haven't you seen your uncle?"
"He's probably busy with something. You're already missing him after just one day?"
【Thinking about it, I feel very happy to have my mother and father loving me.】
Nangong Yunxue teased her deliberately: "Aren't you afraid that you will have brothers and sisters in the future and share this happiness with them?"
[I'm not afraid. I have more brothers and sisters to accompany my mother. I can call them sisters. I feel very satisfied.]
Hehe... I've always been a younger sister, and I also want to be an older sister to have some fun.
Imagining a few little people following behind her and calling her sister, Nangong Jiu suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment in her heart.
The mother and daughter chatted all the way and soon arrived at Kunning Palace.
When Empress Chen heard that the mother and daughter had entered the palace, she had been waiting in the hall for a long time. When she saw the mother and daughter, she was so happy that she talked and laughed.
"Oh, Xiao Jiuer, you guys haven't been here for a few months. I feel like I have no motivation to do anything. I always feel like something is missing.
Seeing you, my heart is suddenly filled with joy. This time, I have to stay in the palace for a few more days."
Empress Chen called Nanny Chen over and asked, "Aren't they done yet?"
Nanny Chen smiled and nodded. "I checked earlier and there's still a little left. I guess it's been finished by now."
Nangong Yunxue was completely confused.
Nangong Jiu smiled when he heard the thoughts of Empress Chen and Nanny Chen.
It turned out that my uncle was in the warehouse, counting the betrothal gifts for my mother.
Hehe... You have a betrothal gift, and we also have a dowry, Nangong Jiu proudly raised his tail.
Not long after, Liu Hao came out of the warehouse and entered the main hall. Seeing the mother and daughter, he greeted them with a smile.
"Xue'er, you're here."
"Well, Brother Hao, what are you busy with?"
Liu Hao patted his clothes and said, "Nothing, I'm just tidying up the storeroom for my mother."
"Oh, are you ready? Can I help you?"
"It's already been sorted."
"Then come and sit down and rest for a while."
Nangong Jiu covered his mouth and laughed.
Silly mother, you are so easy to fool.
Empress Chen hugged Nangong Jiu and said, "Jiu'er, tell the Empress Dowager what delicious food you want to eat. The Empress Dowager asked me to make it for you."
Nangong Jiu fiercely waved her hands.
[The Emperor's grandfather said that everyone had lunch in the imperial kitchen...]
