Only after Li Qingfang was left alone did Yinzhen stop smiling. Then he tormented Li Qingfang for two whole months. If Yin Qingyi hadn't spoken up, Yinzhen probably would have tormented her for another two months.
Li Qingfang clearly knew that Yinzhen knew about his relationship with Yue'er, so for the past two months he did whatever Yinzhen asked him to do without uttering a single objection. It was because of this that Yin Qingyi couldn't stand it and came out to stop him. If Li Qingfang had even the slightest unwillingness, Yin Qingyi would not have intervened.
"Li Qingfang, do you know why I have treated you this way for the past two months?" Yinzhen asked Li Qingfang with a dark expression early the next morning.
"I know, Your Majesty, I am unworthy of Your Highness, but I sincerely wish to marry you. I beg Your Majesty to grant my request." Li Qingfang knew the reason for this, so she knelt on the ground and said sincerely.
"Li Qingfang, you are quite something. Before I bestowed a marriage upon Yue'er, you actually made a private vow with her. Do you know your crime?" Yinzhen was not swayed by Li Qingfang's words and his face remained dark.
"Your Majesty, my feelings for the princess are purely platonic and have never crossed any lines. However, the moment I saw the princess, I knew one thing: I would only ever marry her and never marry anyone else! If Your Majesty is willing to give the princess to me, I will treat her well for the rest of my life. Otherwise, may I be cursed to have no descendants!" Li Qingfang was really going all out, even saying things like "may I be cursed to have no descendants."
"You want my Yue'er to never have children in her life? Or do you want her to never be able to hold her grandson in the future?" Yinzhen slammed his fist on the table and stood up, glaring angrily at Li Qingfang below.
"So Your Majesty agrees? I thank Your Majesty!" Li Qingfang's focus was quite different. Yinzhen was so angry that he slammed his hand on the table, but in Li Qingfang's ears, this was obviously an agreement to his being with Yue'er! Overjoyed, Li Qingfang immediately kowtowed to Yinzhen.
"Get out of here!" Yinzhen was speechless at Li Qingfang's words, and he disliked Li Qingfang even more, so he simply told her to get out.
Li Qingfang tactfully withdrew, but the smile on her face was truly irritating to Yinzhen!
Even if Yinzhen was very angry, he couldn't find fault with this person, so the marriage was still arranged, but the wedding date was set for two years later.
On this sunny day, Yin Qingyi held her daughter's hand, tears welling in her eyes. Her child had grown up and was about to get married, and as her mother, she couldn't hold back her tears.
"Mother, don't cry. I'm just getting married, not going to a political marriage. My princess residence is so close to the palace. I'll come back to see you every day from now on. Please don't find me annoying." Yue'er's eyes were also filled with tears. Although she knew that they could still see each other every day from now on, she still felt sad.
"My Shujue has grown up. Don't cry. It's not good to shed tears on such a joyous day." Yin Qingyi rarely called Yue'er by her full name. Today was Yue'er's wedding day, and calling her by her nickname would seem disrespectful. So, Yin Qingyi called Yue'er by her full name all day.
"Okay, Mother, if you don't cry, I won't cry." Yue'er blinked hard, wiping away the tears in her eyes.
"Let's go, it's time." Yin Qingyi took Yue'er's hand and led her for a while. Then Hongxi took Yue'er away. Yin Qingyi stood beside Yinzhen and watched her daughter walk away. Tears still fell down her cheeks.
"Don't cry. If that brat treats Yue'er badly, I'll skin him alive!" Yinzhen wiped away Yin Qingyi's tears with heartache. He was also reluctant, but he was not as sentimental as Yin Qingyi.
"Yes, if he treats Yue'er badly, I'll deal with him myself!" Yin Qingyi said softly.
Li Qingfang, who was standing opposite Yue'er, suddenly shivered. She looked at the sun high in the sky and was puzzled. Why did she feel shiver on such a beautiful day?
Yue'er's wedding was very grand. The ten-mile-long red bridal procession was nothing compared to the fact that the dowry was carried from morning until afternoon. It then circled the imperial city and was not fully carried into the princess's residence until nightfall.
“Mother, please persuade Father Emperor. He is still in his prime. How can he talk about abdication? My wife is only pregnant with my child. My first child hasn’t even been born yet. How can I become the emperor?” Hongxi complained with a worried look in Consort Yin’s Weiyang Palace.
"You've come to the wrong person for this matter. Your imperial father has wanted to abdicate for a long time, but you were too young before, and you only married your wife two years ago, so your father waited for you for two years. Now that your wife is pregnant, your imperial father is naturally eager to give you the throne." Yin Qingyi said helplessly. Yinzhen had mentioned abdication to her more than once, and she had been helping her son delay for two years. This was really unavoidable, and she was powerless to help him.
Hongxi gritted his teeth, got up and left, then knelt directly at the entrance of Yinzhen's Hall of Mental Cultivation. He knelt there for the entire morning. At noon, Yinzhen spoke up, saying he would give Hongxi some time, and only then did Hongxi get up and return to his own residence.
However, Hongxi clearly underestimated the shamelessness of his father, the Emperor.
"Eunuch Su, what did you say? Please say it again." At the morning court session the next day, Hongxi couldn't help but ask again.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor Emeritus has said that you will ascend the throne today. He left the palace last night with the Empress Dowager, saying he was going on a trip and his return date is uncertain." Su Peisheng repeated this with a smile, even though he had already repeated it three times.
"...Father, Mother, you're so kind of you, how could you lie to me!" Hongxi said through gritted teeth. Although he was unwilling, Hongxi finally accepted reality, put on the dragon robe, and became the emperor he didn't want to be.
Having traveled hundreds of miles outside the capital, Yin Qingyi and Yinzhen turned back to look in the direction of the capital.
"If you run away like this, Hongxi will probably be furious," Yin Qingyi said, but her eyes were full of smiles.
“Why is he angry that he’s following in his father’s footsteps? While I’m still able to run, it’s time to fulfill my promise to you.” Yinzhen gazed tenderly at Yin Qingyi. He had said that after he abdicated, he would take this little woman to travel around this beautiful land, and now he had done it.
"Yinzhen, it's so good to have met you in this life." Yin Qingyi also looked back at Yinzhen, his figure reflected in her eyes. Over the years, she had figured out how to get Yinzhen to cultivate with her, so that the two of them could be together for a long time. How wonderful.
"Qingqing, the luckiest thing in my life is meeting you." Yinzhen took Yin Qingyi's hand and put it to his lips.
As the sun sets, the two embrace, feeling incredibly lucky to have met each other in this lifetime!
