Chapter 112: Aboveboard
"Okay, I get it. Now let's get down to business. You left the imperial city without telling anyone again?" He had done this many times.
"No, I came here openly. I said I came to Nancheng to propose marriage." This story started during the Chinese New Year.
No one expected that after the imperial concubine learned about some of the eldest prince's private affairs, she became anxious.
He discussed with the Yuwen family to move up the wedding date instead of waiting for three years.
He was completely unprepared for this incident.
He and Xiaotong both thought that the wedding could be delayed for at least one to six months.
But no one expected that the imperial concubine would be so anxious.
He is older than the second prince, so his marriage must wait until he is married first, and then the second prince's turn. Now, the royal family and the Yuwen family have set a date, and they can only get married before the two of them get married.
The emperor also gave the power of marriage to the eldest prince Ouyang Li. In the eyes of outsiders, this was a sign that the emperor did not value the eldest prince's marriage.
Inside, the emperor was looking forward to the eldest prince's marriage more than anyone else.
He gave him the right to marry because he wanted him to arrange it himself.
Of course, Wen Li now also thinks that the emperor does not value him and does not care about him.
After listening to Wen Li's explanation, Xia Yutong understood.
"So, can you stay in Nancheng longer this time?" If that's the case, then it's not unacceptable.
Wen Li shook his head. "It's impossible to wait long. The Second Prince and his wife's wedding is scheduled for tomorrow, the beginning of spring, just before your birthday. So, we don't have much time left."
He wanted to give her the best, but there were always some people who disliked them.
Come and stop them from loving each other.
Counting the days, Xia Yutong's face fell, "The emperor is such a dog."
Her perspective has always been centered around Wen Li, and she has no favorable impression of the emperor at all.
"I can't help it. It's been like this since I was a kid." Wen Li shrugged. "You'll just get used to it."
It was late at night and the two went to bed.
The next day, Wen Li left Xia Mansion early.
The two of them agreed that she would tell her family today and ask him to come and propose marriage tomorrow.
Many people came with him this time, including some people from the Ministry of Rites in the court and some of his own subordinates.
In terms of face, Wen Li would definitely not let her suffer any grievances, and would give the prince's wife all the respect she deserved.
However, people were still waiting outside the city, waiting for his letter. Once the letter arrived, the engagement process would officially begin.
After Wen Li left, Xia Yutong took another nap. There was no other way. After the commotion last night, he was there the whole time, and she couldn't go into the space to take a bath.
Unable to relieve fatigue, I can only sleep again.
When she woke up, the sun was high in the sky.
Fortunately, An Xiaoxiao and the others did not come to find her today, otherwise she would have been discovered.
"Xiang'er, are my mother and the others at home?" Xia Yutong asked after changing her clothes.
Xia Xiang is usually responsible for Xia Yutong's food, clothing, housing and transportation, while Xia Xue usually accompanies her when she travels.
Take care of some external things.
These were also discussed by the two of them.
"Madam and Miss Rongrong are home. The master went out early this morning, and the eldest son didn't come back yesterday," Xiang'er replied comprehensively. "Well, ask Xue'er later where my father is and have her go and get him back. And as for Xuan'er, have someone go to the hot pot restaurant and get him back." She was well aware of the goings-on at her family's house.
"Yes, Miss."
After getting dressed, Xia Yutong left the yard. At this time, it was just right for her to have lunch with her mother.
When she arrived at the main courtyard, she saw her mother sitting in the main hall, accompanied by Grandma Zhou and Rongrong.
"Mom." Xia Yutong walked in and called out.
"Big sister."
"Miss Ann."
"You girl, you must have played too much yesterday. You just got up at this hour." Mother Xia is very tolerant of her children.
"It's not lunch yet." After saying that, he waved to Xiaotong, "Mom doesn't need lunch either, so it's a good opportunity for us to come together."
Meals for pregnant women vary greatly.
Either it is very sour, very spicy, or very light.
The taste of summer vegetables is pretty good, and you can eat some of each.
Her belly is a little big now, but she looks good pregnant and the baby in her belly is doing well and very healthy.
The adult is also doing well, he can eat and drink, and his weight has not increased too much, and he has been keeping it under control very well.
"Mom, has your brother been bothering you recently?" Xia Yutong took her mother's pulse after dinner.
She still cares very much about her mother.
"No, he's very well behaved. He won't stop until I pat him twice a day." If her daughter hadn't said the child was healthy, she would have doubted...
Xia Yutong laughed after hearing this, "It seems that our little brother is lazy."
"That's right, big sister, you don't know, usually when I come to talk to him, he ignores me." Speaking of this, Rongrong looked aggrieved.
"It's okay. After he is born, you can ignore him." After saying that, Xia Yutong and Xia's mother laughed.
"Hmph, big sister, I'm not going to pay attention to you." Rongrong is not stupid. Big sister is making fun of her.
The mother, daughter and her two daughters chatted for a while, and then accompanied Xia's mother for a walk in the yard for a while.
Not long after, Xia's father and Xia Zixuan rushed back.
They were called back by Xia Yutong.
"What happened?" Seeing the two coming back, Xia's mother asked in surprise.
Father Xia looked at Xiaotong and said, "Xiaotong asked me to come back, and I don't know what happened?" He looked confused.
Xia Zixuan didn't ask much. He sat down aside and poured himself a cup of tea. His elder sister asked him to come back, so there must be something wrong. Since she was back, she would tell him soon. There was no rush.
Xiaoxuan is becoming more and more stable now.
"Don't worry, Mom. It's a good thing. Sit down first and listen to me." Xia Yutong hurriedly helped the person sit down so that he wouldn't be frightened.
Seeing that everyone was present, Xia Yutong didn't keep anyone in suspense and directly told them about Wen Li's arrival in Nancheng.
He also told the purpose of his visit.
After listening to this, Father Xia sighed deeply.
"You can ask him to come over tomorrow." Since it cannot be changed, then accept it.
He would never let his daughter suffer any injustice, even if it cost him his life.
Xia Zixuan was very unhappy, but he would not offend his elder sister, "I will stay at home tomorrow."
These days, he has made all the recipes given by his elder sister, and now the business of the store is becoming more and more prosperous.
He was preparing to go to the imperial city to open a branch, and Jiang Ce also intended to leave with him, leaving the affairs here to Shiyou.
It just so happened that he couldn't leave.
He also has a lot of troubles at home.
There is no need to think about Wei Nan, as he is busy studying now.
Looking at the ugly faces of her family members, Xia Yutong cheered for Wen Li tomorrow.
Since her family agreed, Xia Yutong sent someone to Fengming Tower to inform Wen Li.
Anyway, he would basically stay in Fengming Tower when he arrived in South City.
The betrothal gift will be sent tomorrow, so those people outside the city must come into the city today, otherwise they will not be able to make it in time tomorrow morning.
There are rules for the royal family to make betrothal gifts.
Even if the emperor doesn't take it seriously, Wen Li does.
She couldn't lack anything that others had, and he also prepared everything for her that others didn't have.
The ten-mile red wedding dress was the prerequisite for him to marry her.
