"You two should get up too." The emperor smiled, "It's a wedding, come and offer tea, but I've strayed a bit.
Chang'an, you just said you wanted a reward. Tell me, your tea and wine today really pleased the Emperor. What do you want?"
"Well, Chang'an said that the emperor is not allowed to laugh at me." Chang'an said, waving to Eunuch De who was serving on the side.
Wait for Eunuch De to come in.
Chang'an whispered something in Eunuch De's ear, and by the time he spoke, Eunuch De's eyes had already curved into slits with laughter.
Especially when everyone saw Eunuch De's expression, they became even more curious.
Eunuch De relayed the message to the Emperor, who laughed heartily after a moment. "Xuan'er, you...are quite interesting. Chang'an, I grant you permission. Little Dezi will be at your service, writing."
"Yes." Eunuch De was smiling as he prepared something for the Emperor. He also teased Bei Mingxuan, "Prince Xuan, your life from now on, tsk tsk! Be careful! Your princess may be beautiful, but she has thorns."
"Ah?" Bei Mingxuan pretended to be confused.
"Father, look at Eunuch De. He relies on his status as a popular figure around you and is deliberately trying to humiliate Chang'an in public."
"Haha." The emperor was in a good mood. "Xiao Dezi, a woman in Chang'an is thin-skinned. Are you doing this on purpose?"
"I was wrong." Eunuch De knew that the emperor was not angry, and Chang'an was not angry either. "I just felt that someone as interesting as Princess Ruxuan is someone you may not meet in several lifetimes."
"Eunuch De is such a sweet talker. No wonder the emperor kept him by his side." Chang'an said, "One day, I will definitely learn from Eunuch De so that I can please the emperor and get more rewards."
"You little girl." The emperor's eyes were full of smiles, "It seems that I was right to let you two get married. With you in Prince Xuan's mansion, it will definitely be more lively.
Xuan'er, don't be like a taciturn person all day long, unable to utter a word.
If you make Chang'an bored, I will not forgive you."
As he spoke, the emperor frowned and glanced at the imperial edict he had written. He pondered and said, "Chang'an, with your lively personality, it is very likely that my son will be wronged in the future. Now that I have given this imperial edict to you, won't it make Xuan'er even more speechless?"
"How could it be?" Chang'an said, and without regard for the rules, he immediately stepped forward, ran to the emperor's desk, took the imperial edict in his hand,
"Father, you are not allowed to go back on your word. According to this imperial decree, even if Prince Xuan is a bit of a taciturn person, he must talk to Chang'an."
"Hahaha!" the emperor laughed.
Several princes standing by were also surprised, except for the fourth prince Bei Ming Ye, who had a forced smile on his face. He couldn't understand why Chang'an at this moment had changed so much from the Chang'an he knew. Could it be that he really felt ugly and had no confidence in speaking?
"Ninth brother," the eldest prince said with a smile, "it's true, like fried dough sticks and soy milk, one thing conquers another. You've always disliked crowds, weren't good at talking, and rarely socialized. Now it seems your peaceful days are coming to an end."
At this moment, Bei Mingxuan could only smile awkwardly but could not say anything.
However, Chang'an's performance today really made him happy, especially what Chang'an said to the emperor.
Bei Mingxuan is good at martial arts and internal strength, and he heard clearly what Chang'an said in a low voice just now.
The emperor's eyes were filled with a deep smile. "Chang'an, today is the day for you to return home. Go back early."
"Yes." Chang'an smiled, "Father, Chang'an has another request, and I hope your Majesty will approve it."
"Tell me, then I'll know whether you approve it." The emperor smiled, "I won't fall for your trick this time, lest you ask me for another imperial decree, otherwise my son will be wronged."
Changan smiled and said, “Father is really stingy, but don’t worry, your daughter-in-law will never bully him.
My daughter-in-law would like the emperor's permission to go back to the Southern Kingdom with Prince Xuan to meet my grandfather.
Her grandfather was very concerned about Chang'an's marriage, so he hoped that her father would agree. There was also the matter of the Qilin military talisman and the crown prince of the Southern Kingdom, which Chang'an needed to clarify with her grandfather.
In this life, Changan only wants to live a peaceful and carefree life with the prince. It is not worth being trapped by these material possessions."
Bei Mingxuan was also surprised by this proposal. Chang'an had never revealed his intention to go to the South Country.
But suddenly, a trace of uneasiness flashed through Bei Mingxuan's heart.
"The Qilin Military Token and the position of crown prince are things that many people desire but cannot obtain. Why don't you want them?" The emperor frowned slightly.
"Everyone has their own aspirations." Chang'an smiled and glanced at Bei Mingxuan. "Besides, the prince doesn't like these things either. He said last night that they are tiring."
The emperor sighed, "It's okay for a woman like you to think so, but Old Nine, you can't do that.
My kingdom will still depend on you brothers from now on.
A hundred years after my death, when the Crown Prince ascends the throne, you must help him well."
The princes replied, "Yes."
"Old Nine, especially you, don't think of yourself as an idler."
"Yes, if your Majesty needs me, I will do my utmost to help you."
"Yes." The emperor nodded and looked at Chang'an again, "When do you plan to return to the Southland?"
"When my cousin's injuries get better," Chang'an replied, "I'll leave with him then."
"Alright." The emperor nodded. "When the time comes, I'll arrange for someone to protect you along the way, okay?"
Bei Mingxuan and Chang'an glanced at each other and said, "Everything will be arranged by our father."
The two returned to the mansion, and it was obvious that Bei Mingxuan looked a little unhappy. Chang'an pretended not to notice, and walked straight towards the room without asking.
"Stop!" Bei Mingxuan said, "Some things don't necessarily have to be done personally, and you're actually using yourself as bait. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking when you deliberately mentioned bringing the Qilin Military Talisman back to the Southern Kingdom."
"Bei Mingxuan, in your eyes, am I such a fool?" Chang'an said slowly, "Don't worry, I, Gu Chang'an, cherish my life very much."
Outside the door, Fu Lin reported, "Master, Princess Lan said she wants to see you for something?"
Bei Mingxuan frowned, "Tell her that I am busy and have to accompany the princess back to the general's mansion."
"yes."
However, just as he finished speaking, a surge of internal force rushed towards Bei Mingxuan, and before he knew it, he was pushed out of the door. "Bei Mingxuan, don't use me as a shield in front of any woman.
Especially those women who adore you, for that, I will be extremely grateful."
Bei Mingxuan smiled and shook his head helplessly. He knew very well that Changan didn't have him in his heart. "Let's go."
In the room, "Miss, the prince seems to have left. What do you think happened to Princess Lan?
She clearly knew that today was the day the young lady would return home, yet she still came to see the prince. I wonder if she did it on purpose. Besides, she is the daughter of Aunt Gu Shijia. Miss, do you think they might have colluded with each other? When the young lady returns home without the prince, Gu Shijia will laugh at her.
