Chapter 10 The Emperor Who Will Not Have an Heir! He Wants Her to Treat His Illness and Give Birth to a Son
“…”
The old general and his wife were shocked.
Xiao Lingzhao was also shocked.
He looked at the identity document handed to him.
Get married right away? Get married tonight?
Is it too simple and too hasty?
The old lady was both happy and distressed. She said lovingly, "Miss Shen, you don't have any elders in your family. You don't understand. If our family wants to marry you, we have to choose an auspicious day to give you the three books and six ceremonies. Only after these are done can we go to the government office to register your marriage. We can't be so careless. It would be bullying to register your marriage directly—"
Xiao Lingzhao also said to Shen Yuanwei solemnly, "Yes, the betrothal gifts have not been paid yet, how can I be so rash as to marry you and bully you? If I want to marry you, I must do it in a grand manner and have a big banquet for the guests. We must let all the people in the city know that the wife I, Xiao Lingzhao, am going to marry is Shen Yuanwei."
Shen Yuanwei didn't care at all.
How long will it take to go through the three books and six ceremonies process?
Does this mean that she has to live in the general's mansion without any status during this period?
It would be better to just keep things simple so that she can have a legitimate claim from now on.
Shen Yuanwei said to Xiao Lingzhao, "Don't bother. I'm a simple person and I want to keep things simple. Just think of me as coming to you to celebrate your wedding. Why should there be so many rules for Celebrating a Wedding?"
Xiao Lingzhao was silent for a moment, looking at Shen Yuanwei's beautiful face. Thinking of the comfort of being close to her, Xiao Lingzhao's heart was moved.
Do you really want to get married tonight?
If they get married tonight, then doesn't that mean he can have his wedding night tonight?
He suppressed the impulse in his heart and confirmed again, "The wedding was simple and hasty. I really won't let you down?"
Shen Yuanwei said casually, "If you betray me, lie to me, and hurt me in the future, that will make me feel wronged. My grievance does not depend on whether there is a grand wedding or not, but on how you treat me in the future, don't you think?"
After Xiao Lingzhao was stunned for a moment, a smile welled up in his eyes.
He likes Yuan Wei's free and easy nature.
He raised his hand and swore to the sky.
"I, Xiao Lingzhao, swear to heaven that I will never let Shen Yuanwei down in this life. After marriage, I will never take a concubine or have a second woman. If I break this oath, I will be punished by heaven and earth."
He stared into Shen Yuanwei's eyes, emphasizing every word.
"Believe me, I won't let you down, never."
Shen Yuanwei thought, whether it was a shame or not, we’ll know later.
It’s a bit early to say this now.
She smiled and said, "Okay, I believe you."
Xiao Lingzhao clenched her fingers and turned to look at the old general and his wife, "Dad, Mom, let's treat Yuan Wei and I's wedding as a wedding for good fortune. There's no need to invite guests. We can get married tonight."
The old general and the old lady looked at each other.
tonight?
The girl arrived at noon, and the ceremony was held in the evening. It was so hasty that it was unimaginable!
The two elders looked at their son.
Thinking of their son's clinginess to the girl, they were silent for a while, and then suddenly felt that they could understand.
You're already 21 years old, and it's normal to want to have a wife and children and a warm bed as soon as possible.
Since the son and daughter-in-law have no objection, then they should just do as they are told!
They also want to have grandchildren sooner!
The old general stood up and laughed out loud.
"Okay! Anyway, we don't care about those empty words. We will do whatever you two say! I will ask the servants to get going right away. We will tidy up the house and hang up red silk wedding characters. We will be waiting for the wedding ceremony at dusk!"
The old general looked at the old lady.
"Madam, I'm going to the government office to get my son and daughter-in-law married. You go to Jinxiu Pavilion to buy the best wedding clothes. The wedding is urgent, but these things can't be compromised. You must buy the best!"
The old lady agreed with a smile.
She looked at Shen Yuanwei and smiled from ear to ear, "Daughter-in-law, it is really our Xiao family who has wronged you, but don't be afraid, we will double compensate you in the future for what we have treated you unfairly! His father and I are old, and from now on, this family will be ruled by you and Ling Zhao. We will not care about anything and will only wait to play with our grandchildren!"
Shen Yuanwei laughed.
She bowed again and said, "Thank you for your hard work, old general and old lady."
The old lady waved her hands repeatedly, "Why is it hard? We are so happy that you are willing to be our daughter-in-law. It's not hard at all!"
She gently patted the back of Shen Yuanwei's hand and said, "Then you and Ling Zhao can play by yourselves for a while. His father and I will go and take care of things. Be good."
Shen Yuanwei nodded, "Okay."
Xiao Lingzhao stood beside Shen Yuanwei, watching his parents leave happily, and watching the servants in the yard jump for joy when they learned of his good news. The joyous atmosphere in the mansion filled his heart with emotion and gratitude.
He opened his mouth to say something thankful, but before he could finish his words, he saw Shen Yuanwei whispering to him, "Can you take me to the kitchen? I'm hungry."
He swallowed the words back silently.
He nodded, "Okay."
He held Shen Yuanwei's hand tightly, turned around and took her straight to the kitchen.
Shen Yuanwei hadn't eaten for the whole day. As soon as she walked out the door, she poked Xiao Lingzhao's back and gently called him, "Let's run faster."
Xiao Lingzhao smiled, "Okay."
Then, he obediently took Shen Yuanwei's hand and ran in the corridor.
The servants who were busy at work turned around and saw their usually calm and aloof young general running away from the corridor like a gust of wind with the young lady who was about to marry into the family.
Thinking of the smile on the major general's lips, they couldn't help but laugh.
They like this young lady.
The general's mansion, which had been silent and sad for a year, was finally filled with laughter again because of the arrival of the young lady.
…
The Imperial Palace.
After reviewing memorials for several hours, Emperor Xie Junlin felt a little tired. He put down his red brush, rubbed his brows, and found that his personal eunuch Chen Hai was not around.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip. A moment later, Chen Hai appeared in a hurry.
As soon as he entered the room, Chen Hai shouted excitedly, "Your Majesty! Great joy! Great joy!"
Xie Junlin paused, raised his dark eyes and looked at the happy Chen Hai.
Great joy?
What good news?
Could it be that one of the concubines in the harem is pregnant, and he is finally going to be a father?
He had imagined this scene countless times over the past decade. A concubine in his harem suddenly found out she was pregnant, and Chen Hai ran in excitedly and shouted, "The emperor is overjoyed..."
But he hadn't been to the harem for five months, how could he be pregnant?
Xie Junlin tightly grasped the teacup to sober himself up.
He lowered his eyes to hide the loneliness in his eyes, and pinched the cup lid with his bony fingers, gently skimming the foam in the cup, and his voice was low and pleasant, "What's the big news?"
Chen Hai knelt down with a plop. "Your Majesty, someone has found a cure for the Great General of the Cavalry! He can stay awake without giving up his martial arts! Your Dingguo Pillar has stood up again!"
Upon hearing that there was someone who could cure Xiao Lingzhao's illness, the emperor, who had always been calm and steady, couldn't help but show his joy.
"Who saved Ling Zhao?"
Xie Junlin was happy that Ling Zhao recovered, and he was even happier that a great doctor had appeared.
There was a fire in his eyes.
This man is even more powerful than Song Suihuan, the descendant of the ghost doctor. He can even cure Ling Zhao's strange disease. So, can he also ask this miracle doctor to cure his infertility?
Can this miracle doctor help him, who has no descendants, to have a child and become a father?
