Chapter 250 Love is always feeling indebted
A few days later, Sikong Yan came to Fengqi Palace and led Shen Chaoyan and the two children out of the palace to the Shen Mansion.
"I dreamed of my parents yesterday. It's great that I can go home today!"
Shen Chaoyan lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out, feeling deeply touched.
She hasn't been back to her parents' home for a long time since she gave birth.
I don't know if it's because of the victory, but the streets now look more lively than before.
When they arrived at the Shen Mansion, Shen Qingyuan was already waiting at the door with Lu Qiyun and Shen Linfeng to greet them.
"Greetings to the Emperor! Greetings to the Empress!"
Sikong Yan said gently, "Master Shen, please do not be polite."
After sending away the servants, Shen Chaoyan immediately coquettishly took Lu Qiyun's arm, "Mom! Your daughter misses you so much!"
Shen Linfeng rushed back, "Sister, we miss you too! And my eldest nephew and niece!"
Lu Qiyun looked behind Shen Chaoyan, "Where are Chen'er and Nian Nian?"
Although Shen Yushu and Shen Linfeng are older than Shen Chaoyan, one is far away in Lingnan and cannot be taken care of, and the other is concentrating on business and seems to have no interest in getting married.
Lu Qiyun was so jealous when she saw other people holding grandchildren!
Fortunately, her daughter gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, and the two little guys are so adorable!
Sikong Yan replied, "They fell asleep because of the shaking of the carriage."
"Then let them fall asleep first."
Shen Qingyuan said, turning to Sikong Yan respectfully, "Your Majesty, the tea is ready, please come this way!"
Sikong Yan met his gaze and nodded slightly, "Okay."
However, Shen Qingyuan did not take them to the main hall, but went directly to the backyard.
Just when Shen Chaoyan was puzzled, she looked up and saw two people standing in the yard.
The man was wearing a green long gown, tall and straight. Although his face was a little darker than before, it did not affect his handsomeness at all, but made him look more masculine.
It was Shen Yushu who secretly went to Japan more than a month ago.
Although the woman standing next to him had a veil on her face, Shen Chaoyan still recognized her at a glance.
Shen Chaoyan let go of Lu Qiyun's hand and ran forward quickly, her face full of surprise, "Sister Xue, why are you here?"
She had mentioned more than once in the letters she wrote to Xue Youran that she would go to Lingnan to visit them in the future.
Unexpectedly, she would see them in the Shen Mansion!
Xue Youran reached out to take off her veil and replied with a smile, "Your elder brother and I came here by water from Japan."
Shen Chaoyan was surprised, "You went to Japan too?"
Xue Youran nodded, "Yes, the king of Japan suddenly fell ill a few days ago and has been bedridden. Now his son has succeeded him. The new king wrote a letter expressing his willingness to surrender to Daxia. I'm afraid Japan will completely become history."
Shen Chaoyan was also very happy to hear the news, "That's great! Are you and your elder brother planning to stay in the capital this time?"
"No."
Xue Youran shook his head, turned to look at Shen Yushu, seemed a little embarrassed, "You decide."
Shen Yushu first bowed to Sikong Yan, and then said to Shen Qingyuan and Lu Qiyun, "Dad, Mom, Youran and I plan to get married before returning to Lingnan."
Although they had drunk the wedding wine in Lingnan before, they did not have a proper wedding ceremony, and their parents were not present, which was really unfair to Xue Youran.
Now that the border war is over and they have returned triumphantly, he wants to give Xue Youran a wedding. Maybe it can't be grand and lively, but at least their relatives are present to witness the most important moment in their lives.
"Good! That's great!"
When Lu Qiyun heard her eldest son say this, her nose was sore and her eyes couldn't help but redden.
She has waited for this day for too long!
Xue Youran had a special status. Although she had left the palace and had no relationship with Sikong Yan, many people in the capital knew her.
Therefore, they could not invite guests to their wedding, and only the two families could be witnesses of their wedding.
But for Xue Youran, the blessings of her relatives were enough.
Shen Qingyuan looked at Shen Yushu, who had grown into a man of his stature, and said with satisfaction, "Your mother and I have prepared the betrothal gifts. Let's pick an auspicious day to visit the two in-laws and discuss the date of your wedding with them."
Shen Yushu replied, "Dad, Youran and I have already picked a date. It will be three days later. It's a good time to get married."
Shen Qingyuan raised his eyebrows, "So hasty? How can that be? It's too unfair to Youran!"
Xue Youran replied, "Uncle Shen, I have already told my parents, and they agree."
The Xue family is made up of military generals, and they don't care about these details.
In their eyes, all the empty gifts are not as important as their daughter's happiness.
Shen Qingyuan and Lu Qiyun didn't want to treat their daughter-in-law badly, but they had to return to Lingnan after the wedding, so they had to keep everything simple and get married as soon as possible.
Because there were still many things to do before the wedding, Xue Youran and Shen Yushu chatted with them for a while and then went to work.
When Shen Chaoyan took Sikong Yan to rest in her room before entering the palace, she couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, thank you for letting Sister Youran leave the palace."
Otherwise, with her eldest brother's temper, she would probably be single for the rest of her life!
Sikong Yan rubbed her hair with his big hand, "Yan'er, why are you being polite to me? It was my selfish desire to release Xue Youran from the palace."
Shen Chaoyan raised her eyebrows curiously, "What selfish desire does the emperor have?"
Sikong Yan curled his lips and replied with a smile, "It's the selfish desire to save money for the harem. You also know that in addition to the monthly allowance, you need to assign several people to serve a noble, and the expenses are not small."
Sikong Yan was joking, but Shen Chaoyan was still very moved, "Your Majesty, thank you!"
Thank him for everything he did for her.
Sikong Yan reached out and hugged her in his arms, "Silly girl, why do we need to say thank you to each other?"
And Shen Yushu had contacted the cloth shop to make their wedding dresses before he came back.
On the way to the cloth shop in a carriage, Shen Yushu held Xue Youran's hand with an apologetic look on his face, "Youran, I'm sorry that I can't give you a grand wedding. It's really unfair for you to marry me under such circumstances."
There were no guests and no red makeup, Shen Yushu felt very indebted to her.
However, Xue Youran didn't care about these.
She held Shen Yushu's hand in return, "Before leaving the palace, Sister Yan also talked to me about this problem. We talked for a long time at that time. There was one sentence that I remember very clearly. Sister Yan said that our love was a two-way love. Since it was a two-way love, how could it be a grievance?"
When she was in the harem, what did it matter if she had fine clothes and delicious food every day?
She was not happy at all.
For her, as long as she can be with the one she loves, she doesn't feel wronged at all!
Moreover, Shen Yushu is a responsible man. Even if she followed him to Japan during this period, he took good care of her, put her first in everything, and didn't let her suffer a bit.
Shen Yushu looked at her, and when he spoke again, his tone was serious, "Before you and I met in Los Angeles, everything was too hasty. I will take you back to Xue Mansion tonight."
"Okay."
