Chapter 136 Becoming the Real Princess of Dayao

Emperor Wen Zhao was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Moving the capital?"

Xue Yi nodded solemnly: "Yes."

Wen Zhao frowned: "Moving the capital is a matter of great importance. Are you going to move the capital just to marry Youyou?"

Xue Yili answered truthfully: "For Youyou, and also for Dayao."

After hearing this, Emperor Wen Zhao understood. A hundred years ago, Dayao and Dasheng were one family. Later, due to wars, they were divided into two families. Decades ago, after Dayao was defeated in wars, it was forced to move its capital northward twice.

The current location of Dayao's capital is adjacent to grasslands in the north and deserts in the west. There are five or six months of cold winter in a year, which is not suitable for living. It is reasonable for Dayao to move south.

Emperor Wen Zhao looked at the young man in front of him and asked, "Aren't you afraid that if a war breaks out in the future, my Dasheng army will immediately attack the capital of Dayao?"

Xue Yili said that it would take half a month, which was based on riding in a horse carriage, traveling at a moderate pace. If one rode a fast horse, traveling during the day and resting at night, one could reach the destination in about ten days. If one traveled day and night, it would be even faster.

If it was not related to the marriage of his precious daughter, Emperor Wen Zhao felt that such a distance was not too far for the capitals of the two countries. At least if a war broke out, the capital would not be reached immediately.

Xue Yili bowed again, his eyes sincere: "Your Majesty, Dasheng and Dayao are originally from the same clan. Our ancestors were forced to separate in order to seize territory. They have been fighting for more than a hundred years. The common people have suffered from the war and are in great pain. It has only been in the past ten or twenty years that things have improved a little. I don't want to fight again."

If they can rest and recuperate, who would want to fight? There are still many relatives in the two countries who are forced to separate and cannot see each other. Emperor Wen Zhao nodded, indicating that he agreed with Xue Yili's statement.

Xue Yili raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "I hope Your Majesty will support Dayao's relocation of the capital."

Hearing Xue Yili claiming to be a junior trying to get close to him, Emperor Wen Zhao snorted coldly: "The relocation is your business, Dayao, and has nothing to do with me. It's just that you want to marry Youyou, and I don't..."

Emperor Wen Zhao was halfway through his words when he remembered what the empress had told him, that she looked down upon all the men in previous portraits, and that Youyou seemed to have someone in her life. So he took back his words, not wanting to sound so absolute in order to avoid being embarrassed later.

But Emperor Wen Zhao was extremely unhappy that such a good concubine was targeted by this wolf cub in front of him. He looked at Xue Yili with unkindness and wondered in his heart, could it be that Youyou fell in love with this bastard in front of him?

He looked at Xue Yili intently. Although he was reluctant to admit it, he had to admit that Xue Yili's good looks could easily win the girl's heart.

Emperor Wen Zhao secretly regretted letting Youyou go to Dayao this time, but it was no use regretting. If Youyou didn't like him, it would be fine. Even if he had to fight another war, he would never marry Youyou to him.

But if Youyou also has feelings for Xue Yili, he really can't bear to punish her and make his own girl sad.

Emperor Wen Zhao looked at Xue Yili with a dark face for a long time, then said, "I will discuss this matter with the Empress and Concubine Ru."

He also asked Youyou what she thought, but he didn't say the second half of the sentence.

Xue Yili bowed deeply to express his gratitude, then said goodbye and left.

After leaving Yu's study, Xue Yili saw the little girl hiding behind the pillar and retracted her head. He smiled and walked over quickly: "Youyou."

Having been seen, Ji Jinyou no longer hid, and came out from behind the pillar, glanced at the palace servants and guards around him, bowed, and pretended to be unfamiliar: "Hello, His Royal Highness."

The little girl in the red cloak was pretending to be so pretentious. Xue Yili chuckled, stopped, retracted his hand, and bowed in return: "Little Princess."

Seeing that he was very cooperative, Ji Jinyou couldn't help but smile: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is going to leave the palace, and it's just on my way, I'll take you there."

Xue Yili agreed, and the two walked out side by side. After they were a distance away, Ji Jinyou asked in a low voice, "Why are you here? Did you tell my father about our matter? What did my father say? Did he lose his temper?"

The little girl asked a series of questions in an anxious tone. Xue Yili smiled and answered them one by one.

Hearing that Emperor Wen Zhao had not lost his temper, Ji Jin felt relieved. He then asked worriedly, "Are you really going to move the capital for me? Will it be troublesome? Will the court officials agree? How can your father tell? Will he reprimand me..."

Xue Yili stopped walking, reached out and rubbed the chattering girl's head, interrupting her: "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Ji Jinyou was about to ask again when Liang Quan chased out from behind and shouted from a distance: "Little Princess, please stay. His Majesty is here to summon you."

Xue Yili glanced at Liang Quan who was waving desperately, and rubbed Ji Jinyou's head: "Go, see you tomorrow."

Ji Jinyou agreed and followed Liang Quan.

After entering the palace, he saw Emperor Wen Zhao looking at him with a sullen face. Ji Jinyou chuckled guiltily, walked over reluctantly, went behind Emperor Wen Zhao, and patted his back: "Father, you have worked hard."

Emperor Wen Zhao snorted coldly, "Stop feeding me such a fascination potion. Tell me what's going on between you and Xue Yili."

Ji Jinyou honestly and concisely told the story of what happened in Dayao, and then leaned on Emperor Wen Zhao's shoulder and said, "Father, if I want to marry him, will you agree?"

Emperor Wen Zhao snorted again: "You are such a heartless person, how can you bear to abandon your father, mother, and mother concubine?"

Although Emperor Wen Zhao was a playboy and made many concubines sad, he was still responsible and conscientious towards his children and could be considered a qualified father.

Ji Jinyou had been spoiled by him for so many years and grew up with him. She still felt reluctant to let him go when she thought that they might not be able to meet so easily in the future.

She squatted down beside Emperor Wen Zhao, raised her head and looked at him eagerly: "Father, I can't bear to leave you, my mother, my mother, and my brothers and sisters."

"But when I think about not being able to be with him, my heart becomes so heavy that I feel like crying."

Seeing his little daughter's pitiful tearful face, Emperor Wen Zhao didn't understand anything. He reached out and touched the little girl's head, sighing heavily: "Forget it, if you want to marry, just marry. Don't worry, with me and your eldest brother here, the two countries will not go to war again, and you will not be put in a dilemma."

If it weren't for Youyou and Tongtong, everyone in this palace would have died long ago, and Dasheng would have been destroyed by someone, and it was that wolf cub Xue Yili who destroyed it. There would be no chance for him to worry about his children's marriage.

If he had known earlier that the wolf cub would destroy Dasheng, he would have definitely eradicated the problem completely. Unfortunately, by the time he knew it, it was too late. Xue Yili had already returned to Dayao and established himself.

All I can say is that everything has its destiny.

Thanks to the conversations between Youyou and Tongtong, everything in Dasheng is now doing well inside and out.

Xue Yili did not lead his troops to attack Dasheng as in the original plot, but now he has to marry his favorite daughter. Perhaps this is destined.

He was unwilling to marry his daughter so far away, but he didn't want to make Youyou feel embarrassed and couldn't bear the slightest bit of hurt.

Emperor Wen Zhao sighed heavily and looked at Ji Jinyou lovingly: "Youyou, now our Dasheng country is rich and powerful, your brothers and nephews are also doing well, and you have your father and them to support you. Even if you marry, you can live as you please and do whatever you want. If that bastard dares to bully you and make you suffer injustice, you can send a letter to your father, and your father will personally lead the army to flatten Dayao."

Ji Jinyou's heart was very conflicted. On the one hand, she was reluctant to leave Xue Yili and worried that Emperor Wen Zhao would not agree. On the other hand, she was reluctant to leave her family. At this moment, when she heard Emperor Wen Zhao's resounding promise, her heart was warm and sad. She hugged Emperor Wen Zhao's arm and cried, "Father, I will not marry him. I will stay in the palace to take care of you and my mother for the rest of my life."

Emperor Wen Zhao was originally upset, and seeing his little daughter crying miserably, his eyes also turned red. He touched the little girl's head with his big hand and said, "Why are you crying? You are useless. You are just a man. If you want to marry, marry him. Marry him once and leave no regrets. If you can't turn back, we will divorce him. Father will find you a better one. If you are not satisfied with this one, just follow your second sister's example and pick a few more to keep in the mansion..."

"Father, I don't want to follow my second sister's example." Ji Jinyou burst into laughter and interrupted Emperor Wen Zhao's nonsense in time.

Emperor Wen Zhao was relieved. Although the Empress and others were reluctant to let the girl marry far away, they didn't say anything else.

Everyone shared the same idea as Emperor Wen Zhao: they were able to live well until now thanks to Youyou. They were reluctant to part with the little girl, but they were also willing to let her get what she wished for.

In addition, the promises made by Xue Yili, including moving the capital, marrying only Ji Jinyou, and making Ji Jinyou the queen when he ascends the throne in the future, etc., can be said to be full of sincerity.

Even if the girl regrets it in the future, or has something unsatisfactory in her life, the worst that can happen is that she can come home and choose another good husband. As long as Dasheng has strong soldiers and horses, Youyou will always have the confidence.

Ru Fei held Ji Jinyou and talked a lot, and finally said: "If you are happy, mother will be happy."

This made Ji Jinyou burst into tears and she felt very sad.

Seventeen didn't say anything, but just like when they were little, he took Ji Jinyou to sit by the lotus pond in the palace for a long time. Finally, he touched Ji Jinyou's head and said, "Don't worry about marrying. Your mother has a brother."

Ji Jinyou held his hand and shook it, and was so moved that he couldn't speak for a long time.

When the sixth, seventh and eighth princesses heard the news, they immediately came to the palace, poked the little girl on the forehead and scolded her, saying that she had abandoned her sisters for a man.

Ji Jinyou bluntly told the disgusting past of her sister and brothers-in-law, leaving them speechless and trying to strangle her. The sisters then laughed and made a scene.

When the young master learned that his aunt Xiaojiu was going to marry far away, he hugged his aunt Xiaojiu's arm and begged her not to let him go. He also shed a few tears sincerely. One moment he said he would beat Xue Yili and drive him away, and the next moment he said he wanted to live with him in Dayao. He was very nonsensical and looked just like the young master who used to lie on the ground and roll around when he was a child.

Ji Jinyou said a lot of nice things and finally managed to appease the person.

Ji Jinyou didn't know what the situation was in the court of Yao Kingdom, but there were some voices of opposition in the court of Dasheng. However, they were quickly suppressed by Emperor Wen Zhao.

The marriage was settled, and Ji Jinyou was happy but also nervous.

Fortunately, although Emperor Wen Zhao agreed to the marriage, he said that his daughter was too young and wanted her to stay for another two years before getting married.

Although Xue Yili wanted to bring the people back as soon as possible, he also knew that Emperor Wen Zhao wanted to see the actual action of moving the capital, so he readily agreed.

Prince Dayao is going to marry Princess Dasheng. This is a major event for both countries. The engagement arrangements will be left to the Ministry of Rites of the two countries, and Ji Jinyou does not need to worry about it.

At the beginning of the next year, Xue Yili brought the Dayao delegation to visit Dasheng again. Yun Yao, who came with them, was overjoyed. She hugged Ji Jinyou and jumped happily, saying that they could see each other every day in the future.

After the grand engagement banquet, Xue Yili left Ji Jinyou with a message "wait for me", then hurried back to the country with the diplomatic corps and began to make arrangements for the relocation of the capital.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another year and a half has passed. Ji Jinyou has already celebrated his 18th birthday and officially turned 19.

The new capital of Dayao has begun to take shape, and the merchants and wealthy families of the original capital have already gone there to buy land and build houses. Ji Jinyou, accompanied by Xue Yili, went there in disguise to see it. The new capital has beautiful scenery and the new palace is magnificent. Ji Jinyou likes it very much.

When Ji Jinyou returned to Dasheng and spoke excitedly to Emperor Wen Zhao about Dayao New Capital, Emperor Wen Zhao knew that he could no longer keep his daughter.

After Emperor Wen Zhao agreed, Xue Yili immediately started to arrange the marriage. The officials from the two countries' ministries of ritual discussed the matter together again and again, and finally chose an auspicious day and set the wedding date.

Xue Yili came in person to welcome the bride. After the grand wedding ceremony, Ji Jinyou hugged Concubine Ru, and both mother and daughter burst into tears. Everyone said goodbye reluctantly.

Afterwards, escorted by the Seventeenth Prince, the Fifteenth Prince, the Fourteenth Prince, the Sixth Prince, the Sixteenth Prince, and the Young Master, the wedding procession, dressed in red makeup, set out in a grand procession.

The journey lasted half a month, but Ji Jinyou felt that it went by very quickly because of Xue Yili's company.

After arriving at Dayao and resting for a day, they worked non-stop to complete Dayao's wedding ceremony. Ji Jinyou entered the East Palace and became the real Crown Princess of Dayao.

Xue Yili lifted the veil for Ji Jinyou. After the two drank the wedding wine, he asked Ji Jinyou to take off her heavy wedding dress and makeup and have dinner first. He then went to the hall where the wedding banquet was held to entertain the guests, of course, mainly his brothers-in-law who had come to see him off to the wedding.

Concubine Ru was worried about the younger palace maids around Ji Jinyou, so she gave Jin Xing and Hai Tang to Ji Jinyou and asked them to come as housekeepers as part of her dowry.

As soon as Xue Yili left the house, Jin Xing and Haitang came forward and helped the young master, who was already exhausted and had backaches, to take off his phoenix crown and change his clothes. They were very busy.

Ji Jinyou was extremely tired. He changed into light clothes and lay on the bed with his back straight. After he recovered, Jin Xing helped him get up to eat.

After dinner, he sat for a while but Xue Yili did not come back, so he ordered the eunuch to ask around. He was told that the Crown Prince was being taken for a drink by the Young Master and his brothers, and it looked like it would take a while.

Ji Jinyou went to take a shower first, and then lay down on the bed to rest alone.

Seeing her young mistress lying paralyzed on the bed, Jin Xing couldn't help laughing. She stepped forward to massage her shoulders and legs. Then she stood up, took out a book without a title from the box, and stuffed it into the little girl's hand.

Originally, she should have given the book a long time ago, but along the way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was always by the young master's side, and the young master was always jealous and would never leave the young master's side, so she never found the right opportunity. If she didn't give it now, it would be too late.

Ji Jinyou was half asleep when he suddenly felt something in his hand. He took a look and saw it was a book. He asked curiously, "A storybook?"

Jin Xing looked mysterious and said in a low voice, "My young master, this is given to you by the Empress. I asked you to take a look at it first."

Ji Jinyou groaned, opened the book nonchalantly, took a look, and instantly blushed. He immediately put the book on the bed and waved his hand in a calm manner: "I'm going to sleep, Xingxing, you go down and rest first."

"Yes." Jin Xing suppressed her laughter and walked out.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Ji Jin sat up slowly, poked his head towards the door, and made sure that the door was tightly closed and no one was in the room. Then he crawled under the quilt with the book, knelt there, covered his entire head, leaving only a gap for light to come through, and opened the book again with excitement.

Ji Jinyou watched attentively and carefully, and didn't know how long it had been. He was watching with great interest when he saw a bright light above his head and the quilt was pulled off by someone.

Ji Jinyou was startled and stuffed the book down his stomach, "Xingxing, why are you back again..."

Turning her head, she saw a handsome man in red standing beside the bed, looking at her leisurely.

Ji Jinyou stopped talking abruptly. Her already rosy face suddenly turned completely red. She lay on the bed, holding the book tightly. "Why are you here?"
