Chapter 457: Child Marriage



Ye Xiaoxiao happened to have something to say to Dugu Xin, so when he mentioned it, she nodded.

Seeing that they agreed, Dugu Xin smiled faintly and glanced at Qin Yuan beside him.

"This narrow escape from death has made me think through many things and see through many things."

"Before, I did many things inappropriately, which put me in a dangerous situation."

"However, this life-or-death experience also allowed me to discover the many people around me who love me."

"So, I will also do as you did, clear out my harem for her, and only favor her from now on."

The words were directed at Shangguan Lingyun, but Qin Yuan looked shy when she heard them.

The Queen Mother heard this and spoke with a smile.

"It's great that Your Majesty has figured it out. Queen, you will have a good life from now on."

Ye Xiaoxiao and Shangguan Lingyun first said congratulations, and then Ye Xiaoxiao spoke.

"There is something that shouldn't be said at this festive time."

"However, after today we will be returning to Daxia, so it's better to tell you some things in advance."

Looking at Ye Xiaoxiao's expression, Qin Yuan's heart skipped a beat, but Dugu Xin felt much better.

"You're talking about my body?"

Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, "Although I have helped you get rid of the poison, you are still injured."

"In the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to have other children besides the one in the queen's belly."

Ye Xiaoxiao originally didn't want to say it, but the world was unfair to women, especially in this ancient time.

If Dugu Xin still had three thousand beauties in his harem, it would be better if none of the concubines were pregnant.

But Dugu Xin wanted to disband his harem, so if Qin Yuan could not get pregnant in the future, she would most likely be criticized by others.

As a woman herself, Ye Xiaoxiao didn't want a woman to bear the sin that didn't belong to her.

Dugu Xin knew his body very well, and he also understood Ye Xiaoxiao's thoughts.

"Don't worry, I will let everyone know about this matter and will not let Yuan'er suffer any innocent consequences."

Qin Yuan didn't react at first, but later she understood Ye Xiaoxiao's good intentions and felt even more grateful.

"Thank you, Queen Daxia, for your understanding. As the ruler of a country, there are some things that I am willing to take responsibility for."

Ye Xiaoxiao just smiled and said nothing. She had said everything she needed to say. As for whether she appreciated it or not, that was none of her business.

Dugu Xin looked at Qin Yuan with a doting look on his face, and then spoke lightly.

"Fool, a real man has his share of things to do and things not to do. If you can't even protect the woman you love, how can you be the ruler of this country?"

"Okay, I will make the final decision on this matter."

After saying that, Dugu Xin stopped looking at her and looked at Shangguan Lingyun and Ye Xiaoxiao opposite him.

"There is one more thing I want to discuss with you two."

Ye Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, Shangguan Lingyun spoke lightly.

"Between you and me, if you have anything to say, just speak frankly. If we can help, we will."

"But if you can't help, there's nothing you can do."

Dugu Xin laughed and said, "It's not difficult to say. All you need is a word."

Dugu Xin did not keep anyone in suspense and expressed his thoughts in front of everyone's curious gaze.

"Now, the only ones left in the Dayu royal family are me and the baby in Yuan'er's belly, but I don't want my daughter to bear too much responsibility."

"So, I want to arrange a marriage for you. When my daughter grows up, I will marry her to your son with a kingdom as a dowry. What do you think?"

Ye Xiaoxiao frowned. She did not advocate child marriage.

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if there was no love between the two of them?"

"Do you think you have to sacrifice your daughter's happiness just to ensure the inheritance of your country?"

Dugu Xin saw that Ye Xiaoxiao was a little angry and smiled bitterly.

"Don't be anxious, just listen to me and finish what I have to say."

"After the baby is born, let the two of them develop more affection."

"If they still feel they are not suitable for each other after they grow up, then let them become siblings with different surnames."

"If they really can fall in love with each other, wouldn't that be a perfect thing?"

Ye Xiaoxiao still disagreed in her heart, but Shangguan Lingyun smiled.

"Anyway, the children are still young, and they are all future heirs to the throne."

"By then, if they don't want to, no one will force them."

"Besides, a marriage between the two countries will benefit both children and can be considered a good thing."

After Shangguan Lingyun finished speaking, he gently patted Ye Xiaoxiao's hand. Ye Xiaoxiao sighed and then agreed.

"In that case, let's go back and draft the letter of credence, and after your daughter is born, we'll come and arrange the engagement."

When Dugu Xin saw that they agreed, the smile on his face gradually deepened.

Qin Yuan felt very happy when she saw Dugu Xin seeking happiness for herself and her daughter.

Because of the relationship between the two families, the atmosphere among them became more and more harmonious.

It’s just that Ye Xiaoxiao had just finished her confinement and shouldn’t drink alcohol.

Dugu Xin's body has not fully recovered yet, so he cannot drink too much.

Therefore, this small banquet ended early.

Dugu Xin and Qin Yuan personally stood up to see them off. Ye Xiaoxiao and Shangguan Lingyun got on the carriage and went back to Daxia.

On the way, Ye Xiaoxiao asked Shangguan Lingyun with some confusion.

"Why did you agree to Dugu Xin's request?"

Shangguan Lingyun hugged Ye Xiaoxiao, and no one knew what he was thinking. After a long time, he spoke lightly.
