As long as the Fifth Prince doesn't ascend the throne, Xiao Hao won't have so many troubles in the future!
Well, her motherly mentality is unacceptable! Absolutely unacceptable!!
"Xin Xin! If that brat ever dares to hurt you again, I will definitely beat him up! Besides, you treat that boy so well that I'm even a little jealous! Xin Xin has never schemed like this for me!"
As Li Xiaochen spoke, he began to feel aggrieved. He always felt incredibly jealous whenever Xin Xin plotted for that brat.
"Come, come, I, this princess, will help you plan something today and pamper you properly?"
Lin Yuxin said irritably, and put her hand on Li Xiaochen's waist and pinched it, but not hard.
"Xin Xin, our wedding date has been set. The Imperial Observatory has calculated that the 18th of next month is an auspicious day, suitable for marriage."
Li Xiaochen grasped Lin Yuxin's hand and said softly.
This matter was actually settled a few days ago, but he had to go to the camp outside the capital for some business, which delayed him for two days. The emperor only told him yesterday when he returned. Originally, the imperial decree was supposed to be issued today, but because of this incident, it is estimated that it will have to wait another two days.
"Next month? Isn't that February? My brother's wedding is also in February. Wouldn't that be too rushed? Can't we postpone it for a while?"
Lin Yuxin was quite surprised. The world was too chaotic. Her older brother's wedding was over, and now it was hers. Her mother must be busy to death.
"No rush! I want to marry you as soon as possible."
Li Xiaochen squeezed the slender hand he was holding, and said with an expectant look on his face.
Lin Yuxin looked at his expectant face, but couldn't bring herself to refuse.
"Alright! February 18th it is. But my mother will be too busy, so let's just have a simple ceremony!"
Lin Yuxin thought about it and finally compromised, but she wanted to find other ways to reduce Zhao Hanyue's workload.
"How can this be? This is your wedding, a once-in-a-lifetime event. How can we be so careless? Don't worry, if you're worried about tiring Madam Lin out, I'll send two nannies to help her with the arrangements. In short, we can't let you suffer!"
Li Xiaochen frowned upon hearing Lin Yuxin's terrible idea. Could this matter be handled simply? He was a prince, marrying a principal wife. Even if he wanted to keep it simple, the rules of etiquette wouldn't allow it, and the proper formalities would still apply.
Besides, this is his wedding with Xin Xin, how could he be so careless? He wants to give her the grandest wedding ever!
"But…?"
Lin Yuxin hesitated.
"No buts, do as I say. Even if you go back and ask Madam Lin, she won't agree!"
Li Xiaochen refused to budge an inch and even brought up Lin Yuxin's mother.
Lin Yuxin hesitated upon hearing this, because Zhao Hanyue would definitely not agree.
Oh well, let them do whatever they want! After all, it's a once-in-a-lifetime event, and she still hopes for a perfect wedding.
"Alright! I'll go back and discuss it with my mother!"
Lin Yuxin gave in and nodded.
"Come, I have a gift for you!"
Seeing that she had agreed, Li Xiaochen took her hand and left.
"Hey! Aren't you busy? Didn't the Emperor assign you another task?"
Lin Yuxin was pulled along by him, and asked in confusion, "This man has rarely spent time with me lately. Even when he misses me, he just sneaks into my room in the middle of the night to check on me, chats with me for a while, and then leaves."
She could guess a little, and guessed it was related to Qiu Jingfan.
"It's alright! Things are almost settled. I was planning to take a day off tomorrow and go for a spring outing with you, but then...!"
Li Xiaochen talked as he walked, but eventually he couldn't speak anymore because he figured he wouldn't be able to take a break tomorrow!
The matter concerning Prince Gong's mansion will probably take some time to investigate. Also, if the cooperation with Qiu Jingfan is successful, we'll need to arrange for someone to escort him back.
So there's still a lot to do.
Lin Yuxin felt a little guilty upon hearing this. But what could she do? Prince Gong was so blind! He had schemed against her! Serves him right!
It's just tough on Li Xiaochen. Lin Yuxin squeezed the hand being held and whispered:
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Li Xiaochen paused, turned to look at her, raised his hand to pat her head, and said with a smile:
"What are you thinking? Prince Gong dared to scheme against you, I won't let him get away with it. Anyone who dares to bully my woman will pay the price, no matter who they are! Besides, your business is my business. Don't feel guilty. If I didn't do it, someone else would. You might as well give it to me!"
Li Xiaochen comforted her gently.
How could he possibly ignore the fact that his own woman was being bullied!
Lin Yuxin smiled as she spoke to Li Xiaochen, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart.
Yeah, it's always better to choose a man yourself!
"Come on! Where are you taking me? Let's go back early, I'll show you a good show tonight!"
Lin Yuxin tugged at Li Xiaochen's sleeve and asked softly, then said in a mysterious tone.
"What good show?"
Li Xiaochen asked curiously.
"Oh, you'll see when the time comes. Hurry up, hurry up."
Lin Yuxin kept everyone in suspense, then pushed Li Xiaochen away.
Luckily, there weren't many people around, otherwise their tugging and pulling would probably have caused a stir.
Li Xiaochen was also pushed along by Lin Yuxin, a smile playing on his lips, in a good mood.
Li Xiaochen didn't take her anywhere; instead, he took Lin Yuxin directly back to the Prince's Mansion.
"Butler Mu, bring out the things prepared for the princess."
As soon as Li Xiaochen entered the mansion, he instructed Steward Mu to fetch some things.
"The princess is here! This servant will go and fetch her right away!"
The butler beamed with joy the moment he saw Lin Yuxin, and quickly bowed before turning to fetch something from the storeroom.
