Chapter 295 You want a promise, right?

The promise she had written earlier was still in the purse. She called Cuizhu and rummaged through the purse among the dowry.

When Song Junyan came out of the bathroom, he saw her sitting at the table with an agreement that looked very familiar to him.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and with a puzzled look on his face, he followed Lu Xinran's gaze and sat down beside her.

"What is this?"

"Does Your Majesty still remember this promise?"

Song Junyan nodded. These were all the things he had promised her when he had agreed to the marriage.

Even though nearly a year had passed, he hadn't forgotten it.

But why did she dig out this promise on her wedding night?

Lu Xinran pursed her lips, thinking about what had happened in the past year, and realized that it seemed inappropriate to mention these things on the wedding night.

But what should we do next? We can't just keep messing around with him.

Even if some words you say now may be meaningless in the future, you still have to say them.

Seeing that he was still willing to keep the promise, she raised her hand, folded it up again and put it back into her purse.

"Would you like to have some food first, my Lord? We can talk after you finish eating."

People are less likely to get angry when they are full, so she still hopes that both of them can have the next conversation calmly.

Seeing that she looked particularly serious, Song Junyan had already guessed what she was going to say next, but he still followed her wishes and went out to call the servants to bring some food over.

Lu Xinran watched him with some confusion as he finished his dinner in such a graceful manner. When he turned to face her again, she took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, you mentioned before that you would not force me if I didn't want to. Does that still count?"

Song Junyan felt a little cold in his heart, but there was no reason to go back on his word since he had already agreed to the request, so he hummed slightly stiffly.

"Then the prince also said before that if I don't want you to, you can not marry a concubine or a concubine. Does that still count?"

"It counts."

The tone was flat without any ups and downs, making it impossible to tell what he was feeling at the moment.

But Lu Xinran was still sensitive enough to notice the disappointment he revealed.

Feeling his mood change, her heart suddenly relaxed, without the previous tension.

"If I don't have any children for three years, how will the prince arrange for me?"

The overly realistic and sharp questions made Song Junyan silent for a long time. The excitement and expectations he had when he just came back now all turned into the cold wind in winter, raging in his heart.

The big hand under the table had already grasped his collar, and he suddenly raised his lowered eyelids to look straight at her.

"If you have no children and you want to stay in the palace, then continue to be the princess. If you don't want to stay, I will find a way to get my father to allow us to let you leave.

"Everything is up to you. I won't restrict you.

"You can rest assured that my promise is valid at all times."

His dark eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.

Lu Xinran felt frightened by her stare, but he still continued to speak.

"But you want that position. Aren't you afraid that I will ruin your plans?"

"Oh," Song Junyan suddenly laughed softly, "I want it, but there are so many people and things I want, and how can everything go as I wish? If you are worried, I can re-write a document for you now."

Lu Xinran clenched the purse in his hand, endured his self-deprecating laughter for a long time, and finally asked in a low voice.

"If you get that position, and one day you become like your father, with concubines in the harem, will you be willing to let me go?"

This question was like catkins floating in the wind, turning into an unexpected place.

Song Junyan's heart suddenly itched, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind, making his dry and lonely heart sprout new life.

He leaned forward and got in front of her to look at her carefully.

Just when she was feeling uneasy and wanted to look away, he pulled her hand in a hoarse voice.

"You want a promise, right? A promise that you'll be my only friend no matter what happens in the future?"

Her thoughts were revealed, but Lu Xinran didn't feel ashamed at all. She turned her gaze back to the face that was very close to her.

"Yes, when I, Lu Xinran, get married, I hope that the other party can treat me wholeheartedly.

"And I will treat him wholeheartedly. When you love someone, you will be extremely selfish and unwilling to share with anyone.

"I don't know if I will love you in the future, but since you and I are already husband and wife, we should be honest with each other.

"Today we are newlyweds, it is better to make some things clear before it is too late than to have a falling out later.

"If you and I consummate our marriage today, then no matter what the situation is in the future, I will be the only one.

"If one day you change your mind, I won't be obsessed with you. As long as you are willing to let me go, it can be regarded as another kind of honesty."

Song Junyan listened to her quietly until she finished speaking. As the girl's cheeks became hot due to the slight smell of alcohol, he finally moved away slowly.

The red candle shed tears, making a crisp sound.

He stood up, took the wedding wine, cut it open, poured out the sweet wine, and handed half of it to her.

"I just told you that I will let you do whatever you want. I married you because I want to spend the rest of my life with you. If you are willing to be with me, then I am lucky. If you are not willing, I will not force you.

"If you want a promise, I will write it to you, as many copies as you want.

"Even if I swear a solemn oath now about what will happen in the future, you will find it hard to believe it.

"There's still a lot of time to go, why don't we just join hands and give it a try?"

Lu Xinran looked at the wedding wine handed to her, met his frank yet forbearing gaze, and felt relieved in her heart.

She stood up, took it, and under his expectant gaze, she raised her head and drank the bittersweet wine.

The new house would be her future residence, and she had transformed it into a layout that she was familiar with and liked according to her own preferences.

On the other side of the hall was the study room she had specially arranged, in which pens and ink were already prepared.

She pulled up Song Junyan's sleeve and led him into the study: "First the villain and then the gentleman, words are not reliable, how about you write a new promise to me, Your Majesty?"

Song Junyan looked at the writing brush and ink that had been prepared on the table and felt it was both absurd and funny for some reason.

He took up his pen and wrote down without pause everything they had just said in the room on a piece of paper. Then he went back to his room to get his private seal and solemnly stamped it on the paper.

"So, madam, are you satisfied?"

Lu Xinran held a corner and read it carefully, then nodded with a satisfied smile.

"It's OK."

He agreed so readily and without any dissatisfaction. This series of reactions alone exceeded her expectations.

If he had always been so sincere to her, they might really be able to go on hand in hand.

After she carefully blew the promise away, Song Junyan stepped forward and put his arms around her slender waist.

"May I ask, Madam, can we enter the bridal chamber now?"

Lu Xinran's pretty face instantly flushed. She raised her hand and pushed the other person's shoulder without any momentum, and replied in a low voice like a mosquito, "Yes, yes."
