But Baili Xuanlang is the prince. Even if he changes his mind in the future, she can't take the child away even if they divorce.
She must ensure that the children have the rights and status they deserve.
After so many years of being schemed by the second wife, she still hasn't gotten back everything that belongs to her!
What is she afraid of?
Isn't it just asking for trouble to think about things that haven't happened?
But she was sure that she would regret missing Baili Xuanlang.
"Okay, I'll listen to my sister."
"Do you agree?"
"Yeah." Xu Yulan nodded shyly.
"The emperor has arrived." As the announcement sounded, the door was pushed open and Su Xingyi walked in.
"Your humble servant Yu Lan pays homage to His Majesty."
"County Lady Yunlan, please don't be so polite."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Yulan stood up and looked up at Su Xingyi.
She noticed that the emperor's expression when he looked at the queen was a little strange, so she hurriedly took Xiaowu from Xiao Lingyu's arms.
"Your Majesty." Xiao Lingyu hurried over and took Su Xingyi's arm, saying gently, "I've been waiting for you. Let's go to the kitchen for dinner."
Su Xingyi looked at Xiao Lingyu's delicate and beautiful face, recalled what she had just said, "If you change your heart, just give the child a new father," and pursed his lips.
Tonight let her know the consequences of changing the father of her child.
After lunch, Xiao Lingyu arranged for the palace embroiderer to take measurements for Xu Yulan and tailor clothes.
On the other side, Baili Qingluan and her brother had dinner at Jintai Tower, and then took Su Ning'an back to Prince Fu's Mansion.
Baili Xuanlang stepped into Prince Fu’s Mansion in the capital and was stunned by what he saw.
"Eldest sister, An'er, I'm sorry to have troubled you and your son."
"Uncle, mother had people start decorating the house the day after we moved into Prince Fu's mansion. We have over a month to spare, so although it's a bit rushed, we have enough manpower and everything will be done in time. Mother knows your clothing size and has arranged for the palace embroiderers to sew you wedding clothes. Come with me now." Su Ning'an grabbed his wrist and said, "I'll take you to see your new house."
Su Ning'an used Rongjinyuan, the largest courtyard on the east side of Prince Fu's Mansion, as Baili Xuanlang's new home.
"Uncle, do you like it here? If you are not satisfied, you can change to another courtyard."
Baili Xuanlang saw a two-story building in the yard, and the scenery in front was somewhat similar to the layout of the Haitangchun Garden in the Xu Mansion.
"This is it. I like it very much, and County Master Yunlan will like it too."
Baili Xuanlang turned to Baili Qingluan and said, "Marrying Yu Lan in Beiyi is a bit unfair to her."
Baili Qingluan didn't expect that her brother cared so much about Xu Yulan.
It seems that he really holds her at the top of his heart.
"We in the Baili family cannot treat the bride unfairly. After you get married in Beiyi, you can return to Xirong to hold a grand wedding."
"Mother, uncle, marrying my aunt here will be just as grand and will not let her down. All the officials in the capital will come to Prince Fu's mansion to congratulate us."
"Yes, my father and mother have sent several carts of betrothal gifts. They will definitely not let Yu Lan down. We will go to the palace tomorrow to finalize the marriage. Once the betrothal gifts arrive, we will send them to the palace to propose..."
The next day, Baili Xuanlang got out of bed before dawn.
I tidied myself up and changed clothes one after another in front of the mirror...
Baili Qingluan and Su Ningan, mother and son, had finished their breakfast, but Baili Xuanlang had not yet changed his clothes.
Baili Qingluan shook her head helplessly at this. "You've lived in the Xu family's mansion next door in Xishui County for so long that even County Master Yunlan knows what you look like. You look good in any piece of clothing."
Baili Qingluan said this while personally matching it for him.
She chose a set of prince's dragon robes for him, "Today, our Xirong Royal Family is asking the Beiyi Royal Family to marry the county lady. This is a friendship between our two countries. You can't wear an ordinary brocade robe. The prince's dragon robe is the most appropriate."
One sentence cured Baili Xuanlang's dilemma of making a decision, "Eldest sister, you are right, it is most appropriate to wear the prince's dragon robe. Yu Lan has never seen me wearing the prince's clothes."
Baili Qingluan's eyes lit up when she saw Baili Xuanlang in the prince's python robe. "You know what, the prince's python robe is the best looking. When County Master Yunlan sees you today, she will definitely like you."
"Really?"
"Let's go into the palace and see for herself." Baili Qingluan grabbed his wrist and said, "Let's go into the palace now."
"Mother, my uncle hasn't had breakfast yet."
Su Ning'an hurriedly chased out with a large plate of shrimp dumplings. He handed it to Baili Xuanlang and took one of the shrimp dumplings and stuffed it into his own mouth.
Today was a small court meeting, and those who came to attend were officials of the third rank and above. Baili Qingluan and his family of three rushed to the palace gate and happened to meet the officials leaving the court.
Baili Xuanlang, dressed in a prince's dragon robe, got off the carriage with an imposing manner and glanced at the officials leaving the court.
The officials stopped immediately and bowed their heads from a distance to greet him.
Baili Xuanlang withdrew his gaze, followed Baili Qingluan and Su Ning'an onto the palace sedan chair and headed towards the East Palace.
"Is that the Prince of Xirong?"
"Yes, that's the Third Prince of Xirong." Meng Gaoyang came over quietly, "The little Prince Fu is our emperor's adopted son, but he loves him like his own son. The Third Prince must have come to the capital with good news."
"What good news could it be?" the Minister of Revenue asked. "Your great-great-grandson, Marquis Wenxin, should know something about this."
"Yes, yes." The other ministers quickly echoed: "Tell us quickly what the Third Prince of Xirong is doing in Beiyi?"
"County Lady Yunlan has already stayed in the Eastern Palace for one night." Meng Gaoyang said this in a mysterious tone and walked away.
The Minister of Personnel frowned, "Lord Meng is becoming more and more adept at keeping things in suspense. What does the Third Prince of Xirong's visit to the capital have to do with County Master Yunlan?"
"Ah, I understand." The Minister of Revenue suddenly said, "The Emperor and Empress want to find someone for County Lady Yunlan. The Third Prince should be here for this matter."
"What? Why is he joining in the fun?" The Prime Minister left in anger. He was still waiting for the Queen to hold a palace banquet for a blind date.
The third prince of Xirong is here. Does his eldest grandson still have a chance?
The other officials reacted quickly, a flash of disappointment in their eyes.
They were still a step too late, and their wish to marry into the new emperor was dashed again.
In the main hall of the East Palace.
Su Xingyi stared at Baili Xuanlang silently, looking him up and down.
It was the first time he saw Baili Xuanlang appear as a prince.
He looked very noble and dignified, and was more mature and steady than when he was in Huayang County.
There was no longer any fierceness between her eyebrows, and her eyes were very gentle, just like him.
Baili Xuanlang felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Su Xingyi.
It's like being watched by my father-in-law, no, by my brother-in-law.
It is said that the more a father-in-law looks at his son-in-law, the more he likes him. But it is not the same with my brother-in-law. He definitely dislikes him.
Why hasn’t the eldest sister come yet? Come and save your younger brother.
Baili Xuanlang turned his gaze to Su Ning'an.
"Father, today my mother and I brought my uncle here to propose marriage to County Master Yunlan. I want County Master Yunlan to be my aunt."
