Yuchi Xi said, "Mother, you don't have to write. Actually... Kou Shi Bookstore is owned by me."
She hadn't originally planned to say it specifically, but she didn't want her mother to embarrass her like this.
"I went to Concubine Liang's place today and I plan to ask the original author to write a sequel. I'll send her a letter shortly."
Empress Xian was stunned for a moment, "So that's how it is."
"Okay, then mother won't embarrass herself."
Empress Xian put the book down with a smile, "Writing a book is really not something that ordinary people can do."
Yuchi Xi nodded, "I can't write it either."
“I’ll have to ask someone to write it.”
Yuchi Xi took Concubine Xian's hand and acted coquettishly, "Mother, I didn't tell you before I did this, will you be angry?"
Concubine Xian shook her head and patted her little head lovingly, "Xi'er has grown up and has her own ideas."
"No matter what you do, mother will support you."
"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it."
"It's okay. Mother believes that no matter what you do, you can do it well. But if you have any difficulties, just come to mother, okay?"
Yuchi Xi nodded, "Okay!"
[Hehe, if I really encounter something I can't solve, then I'll just yell, "Daddy and Mommy, help me!"]
Empress Xian laughed when she heard her inner thoughts.
[Speaking of which, I still don't know how to tell my mother about Uncle Ye Min!]
[It seems that my cousin uncle likes Zhuo Lanyu, the daughter of the Zhuo family. However, Zhuo Lanyu's mother doesn't like my cousin uncle Ye Min.]
[It's not appropriate for others to interfere in matters of the heart.]
Yuchi Xi was thinking about this in his mind.
[My cousin's father is a decent person, and it was my grandmother who begged my mother to help him. So, should I tell her or not?]
Concubine Xian lowered her eyes and spoke softly, "Xi'er, do you still remember your uncle Ye Min?"
When Yuchi Xi heard Concubine Xian mention it, he nodded quickly, "I remember."
"He sent me a letter today, saying that he has a girl he likes and asked me to help bring her together."
This letter was not written.
Empress Xian wanted to help Ye Min, but she didn't want Xi'er to know that she could hear her inner thoughts, so she came up with such a bad plan.
Yuchi Xi didn't expect that Uncle Ye Min would be so proactive!
He actually took the initiative to write a letter to ask mother to be a matchmaker, but this is a good thing, "Are you planning to help him, mother?"
"Yes." Concubine Xian smiled, "I plan to help him."
"If he really wants to marry me, why not help me?"
That night, Empress Xian wrote a letter and asked Qiuxiang to deliver it to Ye Min's house. Ye Min was surprised when he received the letter.
He didn't expect that Empress Xian would know that he liked Lan Yu, but when he thought about it carefully, he had never concealed his love for Lan Yu over the years. Take the fact that he went to the Zhuo family to propose marriage but was turned away, for example. Anyone could know about it with just a little inquiry.
Empress Xian said in the letter that if he sincerely wanted to marry Miss Zhuo, she would ask His Majesty to grant them a marriage!
This is a marriage granted by the emperor. Once it is decided, it cannot be changed.
Ye Min was naturally happy in his heart. He wanted to marry Lan Yu, but he didn't know what Lan Yu was thinking.
After thinking for a while, he did not reply immediately. Early the next morning, he went to ask for a meeting with Zhuo Lanyu.
Zhuo Lanyu had lost his temper with Madam Zhuo and her personal maid last time, and those maids and servants all knew that Zhuo Lanyu was not someone to be trifled with. Therefore, the news of his coming was not concealed. Zhuo Lanyu happily left the mansion and got on Ye Min's carriage.
Ye Min took her to go boating. When they got on the boat, Ye Min rowed the boat. Zhuo Lanyu blinked at him and asked, "Why don't you let me come?"
"Are you tired?"
"It's inconvenient." Ye Min pursed his lips and waited until the boat reached the center of the lake before stopping rowing. Now that there was no one around, the two of them could talk to each other about their true feelings.
"Lan Yu..."
Ye Min looked at her, and Zhuo Lanyu suddenly became nervous, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Just say what you want to say!"
Ye Min nodded, "It's like this, Empress Xian knows about our relationship, and she is willing to help us get an imperial marriage."
"I came to you today to ask you, do you really want to marry me?"
"A marriage granted by the Emperor cannot be revoked."
It's not a joke.
Zhuo Lanyu was furious, "If I didn't want to marry you, wouldn't I have married someone earlier and why am I still waiting for you?"
"If you are not sure in your heart, then don't marry me!"
Ye Min quickly waved his hands, "That's not what I meant..."
"Because this is a royal gift...it's a big deal, and I don't want to embarrass you."
What if she met someone better during this time?
Zhuo Lanyu also knew his temper, "Then I will tell you exactly, I am willing."
"Rather, that would be great!"
"This way, my parents won't be able to influence my marriage."
Thinking of this, Zhuo Lanyu smiled and said, "When will you come to marry me?"
Ye Min's ears immediately turned red. "I, I'll go write back to Empress Xian first."
As he said this, he stood up, raised his foot stiffly, turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait--!" Zhuo Lanyu shouted, but it was too late. Ye Min forgot that he was on the boat. He was too excited and wanted to write back to Empress Xian immediately. As a result, he turned around and fell directly into the lake.
Zhuo Lanyu lay on the bow of the boat and burst out laughing, "Can you swim?"
"Come, I'll pull you up."
Ye Min's face flushed red. With his head above the water, he looked at her with burning eyes, "I'm just too happy."
