Xie Wanyun was at a loss for a moment.
Yan Suizhi said angrily: "You little bastard, is this strange? Shouldn't your mother be in father's room?"
"Hahaha!" Yan Jinbai laughed out loud. "It should be! It should be! It should have been done a long time ago!"
"Hahaha, Father, Mother, take your time packing up, I'm leaving first!"
Yan Jinbai laughed loudly and ran away quickly.
"Meimei, how about going out of the city for a trip today? You and I have never traveled together before. After we get married, let's go to the south of the Yangtze River." Yan Suizhi said.
"Okay, Yunjianfang mostly gets its supplies from the Jiangnan region. I've been wanting to go and see it myself for a while now."
Yan Suizhi had just been released from prison when the emperor granted him a ten-day leave, allowing him to return to court after his leave expired. Because the then-prime minister, Huang Yanwei, had committed suicide due to his crimes, Yan Suizhi was to take over the position temporarily.
With three days left before the holiday ended, the two were also preparing for their wedding. Naturally, they purchased all their supplies at the Xie Family Trading Company, which offered a more comprehensive selection than any other company in the capital.
The two of them made their relationship public, appearing together openly. Xie Wanyun had initially worried about being criticized, but along the way, she'd been met with nothing but smiles and blessings, though still jealousy.
One is a high-ranking official in the court, and the other is the richest man in the capital. Such a rich woman and a handsome man are truly enviable.
Men envied Yan Suizhi for marrying a wealthy and beautiful wife, while women envied Xie Wanyun for marrying a handsome man who held a high position. Xie Wanyun's heroic act of "divorcing her husband" was brought up again, and the women were envious. Even after divorcing her husband, she was able to marry such a good man, which shows that being faithful to one person is not a good thing.
Some women immediately used Xie Wanyun as an example and wanted to divorce their husbands. The situation became so chaotic that Shangjing Prefecture Governor He Jincheng was busy handling multiple divorce lawsuits. This was something Xie Wanyun and Yan Suizhi had not anticipated.
That day, the two men went to the palace to meet the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother held the two men in her hands and looked at them, smiling very happily.
"I look at Suizhi and Wanyun, and they seem more and more like a perfect match. You two have been through so much hardship, but finally you have finally found your happy place. If you had gotten married earlier, I wouldn't have had to worry about you for so long."
Yan Suizhi quickly admitted his mistake. "Queen Dowager, this is all my fault."
The Queen Mother looked at him carefully, her eyes somewhat complicated.
Although Xie Wanyun remained calm on the surface, she was a little surprised. Could it be that the Queen Mother knew Yan Suizhi's life experience?
"Wanyun, Suizhi, I've had someone check the almanac. The eighth day of next month is a good date. You should get married."
When they heard this, they smiled at each other, their hearts filled with sweetness.
"The Emperor has arrived!" Suddenly, a eunuch's shrill announcement came from outside.
Xie Wanyun's eyes turned cold.
Why did the emperor leave court so early? She was extremely reluctant to see Emperor Dezong. This man was the mastermind behind the extermination of the Xie family. All the suffering she had endured over the years was due to him.
Yan Suizhi was worried that she would lose her composure, so he quickly winked at her.
The emperor had already entered. Although he was still walking with big strides, he was obviously tired. His eyes were not as bright as before, but rather dim, and he looked listless.
It seems that Huang Yanjing's death was a big blow to the emperor.
After all, the two of them had a period of deep brotherly love. The emperor must have felt bad for forcing his younger brother to death himself, right?
They both knelt down to welcome him.
The Queen Mother laughed and said, "How did the Emperor find time to come here today? Could it be that he heard there's a happy event happening here, and wanted to join in the fun?"
Emperor Dezong smiled and said, "My Queen Mother understands my thoughts and is here for this very reason. Speaking of which, the marriage between Yan Aiqing and Wanyun should be properly handled. How about this? I will personally grant the marriage and then formally appoint Yan Aiqing as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. This will add some color to the marriage. What do you think?"
Yan Suizhi and Xie Wanyun were both a little surprised. The emperor was obviously trying to win them over.
The Empress Dowager smiled brightly, "That's wonderful! It's rare for the Emperor to be so thoughtful. Suizhi, Wanyun, why don't you thank me?"
Upon hearing this, the two of them had no choice but to kowtow and express their gratitude.
Emperor Dezong glanced at the two men and said calmly, "Please stand up. Your Excellency Yan has truly suffered these days. This marriage is my small act of compensation to you."
