Chapter 198 Wedding
After Shen Tang agreed to Mo Junye's confession, the news spread throughout the entire Kyoto city.
Everyone said that Princess Mingzhu and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were a match made in heaven. Even the long-bedridden emperor was excited.
He sat up in shock from his dying illness and held the queen's hand.
"Queen, please get them married as soon as possible. I am afraid I won't be able to wait until that day. Please hurry!"
The queen was also very pleased, "Your Majesty, please don't be anxious. Ye'er has his own ideas. Please don't be anxious."
"Your dragon body is in good health. You will live to be a hundred years old."
The emperor shook his head, "I know my own illness very well. Quick, bring the Shen family to the palace. I want to ask about the wedding date in person!"
When Qin Yunshuang learned that the emperor had summoned her, she almost fainted.
Pulling Shen Feiyu excitedly, "Son, what does His Majesty mean by summoning you? Does he object to Xiao Tangbao being with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
The royal family is so majestic that Qin Yunshuang is still a little afraid.
Shen Feiyu comforted her, "Mother, what are you afraid of? The Emperor and Empress dote on little Tangbao so much, how could they object? This time they came to the palace, they must be discussing the engagement with us."
Shen Sikai also came over, "Mother, please don't worry."
Qin Yunshuang entered the palace with an uneasy mood. The emperor and empress were very warm to them and set up a large banquet.
"My dear relatives, please don't be restrained when you enter the palace!"
Qin Yunshuang was apprehensive. "How dare I? Your Majesty, you are too kind."
The emperor waved his hand and many gold, silver and jewels were carried in. "My dear, these are the engagement gifts I gave to little Tangbao. Do you like them?"
The guards carried all the large boxes into the house. There was no room for them in the room, and they were piled up outside the hall.
A young eunuch took out a thick little book, "Mrs. Shen, this is the gift list that His Majesty gave to the Shen family for the engagement. Please take a look."
"So many!" Qin Yunshuang was stunned.
His Majesty waved his hand, "This is not much. Our Ye'er will also give the Shen family an engagement gift when the time comes."
It is said that the Shen family is extremely wealthy, but compared with the royal family, they are still dwarfed by the giant.
Qin Yunshuang put down the gift list and said, "Your Majesty, we still have to ask Little Tangbao about this matter. Although it is the parents' order and the matchmaker's words, it still needs her consent, right?"
The queen nodded, "Of course, go and call the prince and Xiao Tangbao, and I will ask them personally."
When Xiao Tangbao was called into the hall, he was holding a kite in his hand, obviously he had just returned from flying a kite with Mo Junye.
"Mom! How did you and my brother get into the palace?"
"Wow, there are so many delicious foods!"
Little Tangbao was not that hungry. When he saw the delicious delicacies on the table, his mouth was watering.
Mo Junye silently picked up some food for Xiao Tangbao, "Eat something first, don't get too hungry."
"Thank you, Brother Ye! Brother Ye is the best to me!"
Qin Yunshuang saw how close the two were and agreed, "Little Tangbao, His Majesty wants you to get engaged to the Crown Prince. Are you willing?"
There was a piece of meat stuffed in the little Tangbao's mouth, and his cheeks instantly turned a faint red.
"Hey, you guys can just make the decision on this matter, why are you telling me?"
With that, Little Tangbao stood up and ran out, "I will never talk to you again!"
"Hahaha, little Tangbao is shy."
His Majesty and others burst into laughter.
Mo Junye always had a faint smile on his face. He picked up a chicken leg with a handkerchief and hurriedly chased after him.
It was not until he reached the garden that Mo Junye found Xiao Tangbao, who was playing as an ostrich beside the rockery.
"Little Sugar Baby, I brought you a chicken leg."
Shen Tang's cheeks are still rosy and puffy, making people want to kiss her.
"Brother Ye, I have something to tell you."
Shen Tang took the chicken leg and took small bites of it.
Mo Junye smiled indulgently, "Eat slowly, don't choke."
Shen Tang smiled and said, "I want to open a women's college so that women all over the world can learn like men."
"We women are not stupider than men. I want everyone in the world to know that women can also leave home and enter the court with great talent."
Little Tangbao's head was held high, and his eyes were shining brightly.
Mo Junye was stunned and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
He never expected that the woman he fell in love with actually cared so much about the world.
Men have always been respected since ancient times. If Xiao Tangbao opened a school for girls, it would definitely cause an uproar.
"Tang Bao, opening a girls' school is very difficult. Are you really ready?"
Shen Tang ate the last bite of meat, smiling, "Brother Ye, how do you know if it works if you don't try? After girls can go to school, Da Sheng can recruit talents. This is the fundamental way to govern a country!"
[Besides, we still have Brother Ye. It is said that a united husband and wife can accomplish great things.]
couple……
Hearing these two words, Mo Junye's eyes darkened.
"Good, a husband and wife working together can accomplish great things."
Shen Tang was stunned, "Brother Ye, why are you..." Do you know what I am thinking?
Mo Junye hugged her waist, with a doting look on his face, "I've always known."
Shen Tang felt like the sky was falling.
Later she found out that Mo Junye could always hear her thoughts, and all her fantasies in the past were also heard by him.
Ahhhh!
I don’t want to live anymore!
So embarrassing!
Shen Tang hid from Mo Junye for several days.
After the wedding date is set, Shen Tang will marry Mo Junye immediately after her coming-of-age ceremony.
Since the news of Shen Tang's proposal to open a girls' school spread, all the women in Dasheng expressed their gratitude to Shen Tang for her great kindness.
Princess Mingzhu's fame spread across the country in an instant.
On the day of Shen Tang's wedding, the streets of Kyoto were crowded with people wearing red silk and shouting, "Long live Princess Mingzhu!"
She was dressed in red makeup, and followed by a dozen huge white lions with snow-white hair.
What a magnificent and grand scene.
In a corner, a slender figure stood there, with a face full of tenderness.
"Your Highness, I ask you to return to the palace immediately."
Ye Lucheng nodded, retracting his reluctant look, "Well, it's time to go back."
Seeing Shen Tang get her own happiness, he was satisfied.
To love someone does not necessarily mean to get him/her, but to see him/her happy is enough.
At the door of Shen's house, Qin Yunshuang cried like a tearful person.
Chun Tao couldn't help but persuade her, "Mother, it's a good thing for my sister to get married, don't cry."
Liu Ruru also said, "Yes, mother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats my sister very well, so you can rest assured."
"Yes, I should be relieved, but I just can't hold back my tears."
Xiaotangbao was so young when she was born, but now she is getting married. Time flies so fast.
It seems like a lifetime ago!
The palace was hung with red silk everywhere, and civil and military officials were lined up on both sides.
Shen Tang, wearing an elegant tiara and bridal gown, walked towards the platform step by step. On the platform, Mo Junye, also wearing a wedding dress, was waiting for her.
