Chapter 416: The son became a wife slave and almost pissed off the empress to death, such a sweet kiss
Xiao Jinyu is indeed a simple, kind-hearted person, and she takes great care of her sister-in-law.
Unlike Xiao Jinyan, who is very sinister!
Shen Chuwei thought about herself, she also had an unknown origin, right?
If the Crown Prince and the Queen knew about this, they would probably react in the same way.
However, since Xiao Jinyu has been spoiled since childhood and is the emperor and empress's favorite, it is normal for the empress to be so cautious.
At this time, Qiancheng Hall
Xiao Jinyu asked the Fashion Bureau to tailor a beautiful and elegant dress for her early in the morning.
The lake green dress sets off the girl's snow-white skin very well. Her hair is always simple and elegant, with a peach blossom hairpin in her dark hair.
Xiao Jinyu thought the peach blossom hairpin was too plain, so she took out a hairpin inlaid with emeralds from the jewelry box and came to Miss Han.
"The peach blossom hairpin on your head is too plain. This hairpin was custom-made by Yuzaosi. It's very beautiful and goes with your clothes. I'll change it for you."
Miss Han lowered her eyes and looked at the emerald hairpin in his hand. It was worthy of the craftsmanship of a master craftsman from the Royal Court. Both the workmanship and the details were handled very perfectly, which was incomparable to that of street vendors.
"No need, just wear a peach blossom hairpin."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyu thought that she didn't like it and gave up.
"Then let's go. We can't let my father wait for us."
Although Xiao Jinyu was raised with the emperor's pampering, she was spoiled and sometimes even lost her temper in front of the emperor.
But mostly, Xiao Jinyu still respects his father more.
Miss Han nodded, "Yes."
Xiao Jinyu took her all the way to Fengyi Palace.
On the way, he did not forget to comfort her.
"My mother is a very kind person, and she gets along very well with my sister-in-law, so you don't have to be nervous. As for my father, although he is a little fierce at times, he is still a very good person, so you don't have to be afraid."
Miss Han listened quietly, and then replied: "With Prince Yu here, I am naturally not afraid."
When these words reached Xiao Jinyu's ears, they meant that Miss Han trusted him and relied on him.
"You are right to think so. As the saying goes, love the house and love the dog. My father and mother have always loved me the most, so they will naturally not treat you badly."
Miss Han nodded when she heard this.
When they stepped into Fengyi Palace, Eunuch Ren went in to report.
The Queen and Shen Chuwei also stopped talking.
Xiao Jinyu brought Miss Han forward to pay their respects.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May you be blessed with good health."
Then he looked at Shen Chuwei again, smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is fine too."
Miss Han stepped forward and knelt down to pay her respects.
"I pay my respects to the Empress and the Crown Princess."
The queen waved her sleeves and said, "Get up."
"Thank you, Her Majesty." Miss Han stood up from the ground and stood beside Xiao Jinyu.
This was the second time the Queen had met Miss Han. The first time she saw her was when she went to Qiancheng Hall. At first she thought she was a maid, but later she found out that Yu'er had brought her back from outside the palace.
Standing next to her son, even though she is a little shorter than him, the girl is still too tall.
After the morning court session, the emperor rushed to the Fengyi Palace.
"The emperor has arrived." With the shrill voice of Eunuch Li, he stepped into the Fengyi Palace.
The Queen led them to pay their respects to the Emperor.
May your Majesty be blessed with good health. "
"Everyone, get up." The emperor took a few steps forward, helped the queen up, and sat down on the throne with her.
The emperor saw the woman next to Xiao Jinyu at a glance, because of her outstanding appearance and height, she was easily noticed.
It is not difficult to guess that this is the girl Yuer wants to marry.
"You guys sit down and talk too."
"Thank you, father." Xiao Jinyu and Miss Han sat down on the chairs on the side.
The emperor had seen countless people, but he had never seen such a tall woman. He asked in a cold voice: "Why is Miss Han so tall? Is there any other reason?"
Xiao Jinyu explained: "Father, she is from the northern barbarians. Most of the women there are tall and strong."
The emperor glared at his son and asked, "Did I ask you?"
Xiao Jinyu said: "My son's answer is the same."
Miss Han secretly tugged at Xiao Jinyu's sleeve, raised her head and looked at the emperor, and slowly said, "Your Majesty, I was born in the barbarian land in the north, and I have to eat coarse food. It is easier for a girl to marry if she is tall, but it is harder to marry if she is too petite."
Xiao Jinyu turned his head to look at Miss Han. It was the first time he heard that tall women are easier to marry, and he found it a little novel.
The emperor of the northern barbarian land had heard that there was indeed a rumor that the heroine was tall and strong.
"Then why are you in Daxia?"
"My relatives died of illness, and I struggled to make a living. In the end, I was sold to Daxia by a trafficker..."
Before Miss Han finished her words, Xiao Jinyu hurriedly replied: "Fortunately, I met you, your son, and I helped you when you saw injustice, and saved Miss Han, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Miss Han raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyu. Xiao Jinyu gave her a soothing smile, and his eyes seemed to say that everything would be fine with him around.
The emperor looked at his son coldly. He hadn't even married her home yet, so he kept saying this to his son. What would happen after he married her?
The emperor turned to look at the queen, "What do you think?"
The Queen said calmly: "I will listen to the Emperor. If Yu'er likes it, then I will respect Yu'er's choice."
Emperor: "..." You said you would listen to me, but you still have to follow Yu'er's ideas, right? "
Xiao Jinyu heard the Queen's words and said happily, "Father, Queen Mother, I think the 15th of next month is an auspicious day for marriage. What do you think?"
emperor:"……"
Queen: “…”
Shen Chuwei didn't dare to say anything, but she still admired Xiao Jinyu in her heart. She even picked a date, which showed that she had already been planning it before telling the emperor and empress.
The emperor said unhappily, "It's your parents' order and the matchmaker's words. You haven't even decided on a date yet?"
The queen tugged at the emperor's sleeve, looked at her son and said softly, "As the Prince of Yu, getting married is not something that can be done with just a few words. You need to let Qin Tianjian calculate your fortune."
Xiao Jinyu said: "I know, that's why I came to ask you."
The emperor said patiently, "The next fifteenth day is too late. The autumn hunting season is coming up soon. We have to wait until we return from the autumn hunting season to discuss the marriage."
Xiao Jinyu was not an unreasonable person. Naturally, he wanted to hold a grand wedding and let Miss Han marry into the Qiancheng Palace with honor.
"Then I will obey my father, the emperor, and my mother, the empress."
As he said this, he pulled Miss Han up and they both knelt on the ground.
The emperor and the empress were both startled by the sudden gift and subconsciously shrank back.
They know Xiao Jinyu too well. He would show great courtesy for any reason, and a great courtesy must mean that he is asking for something important.
"Thank you, Father and Mother, for your help."
The emperor finally understood that his son did this on purpose. They had not explicitly agreed to the marriage, but his son brought Miss Han with him as a gift, which meant that they agreed.
Xiao Jinyu raised his head and said with a smile: "Father, mother, shouldn't you give your future daughter-in-law a gift or something?"
emperor:"……"
Queen: “…”
Before the day of marriage, they are asking for a meeting gift? And the son is asking for it on behalf of his future daughter-in-law. Can the son still accept it?
Shen Chuwei didn't know how much self-control she had to keep herself from laughing out loud. She was sure that Xiao Jinyu was a wife-slave.
Since her son had already asked, the Queen couldn't let him lose face, so she asked Qingying to go to the storehouse to get a set of hairpins and personally gave them to Miss Han.
"This set of hairpins is my favorite, and I'm giving it to you now."
Miss Han took it with both hands and thanked her verbally, "Thank you, Her Majesty."
Xiao Jinyu said: "You have to call me mother instead."
Queen: “…”
The emperor saw that his son was becoming more and more demanding and even asked for a meeting.
"Okay, I still have something to discuss with the Queen, you can leave first."
"I'll take my leave."
Xiao Jinyu took Miss Han out.
Shen Chuwei also followed him out.
After everyone left, the emperor couldn't help but ask, "Queen, do you think this marriage is reliable? Look at how you are protecting Yu'er before she even gets married. What will happen after she gets married?"
The Queen asked, "Your Majesty can't do it himself, so why can't you ask your son to do it?"
The emperor hastily explained, "Your Majesty, that's not what I meant."
"What does that mean? Isn't it that a husband shouldn't be so protective of his wife?" The queen snorted, stood up and turned away.
The emperor felt that he was wronged. They were clearly talking about his son, so how did it get to him? Who said he would not protect his wife?
The aggrieved emperor saw his son coming back and asked, "Why did you come back?"
"Father, I am here to tell you that I will bring your future daughter-in-law with me during the Autumn Hunt."
emperor:"……"
After his son left, the emperor heard the baby calling, "Daddy... hold me..."
He stood up and walked to the crib, and saw that Susu had woken up and was sitting next to her brother. She was holding her brother's hand with her little hand, trying to wake him up.
Seeing the Emperor coming, she immediately let go of her brother's hand and reached out to the Emperor for a hug.
The emperor looked at Susu smiling so sweetly, and the grievance he had just felt disappeared immediately, and he picked up Susu.
"Granddaughters are still the best. They can only make the emperor happy."
Susu hugged the emperor's neck, pouted and gave him a kiss on the face.
The emperor was stunned at first, then he laughed happily and went to find the queen with Susu in his arms.
"Empress, please kiss me."
At this time, Cining Temple
The Empress Dowager learned that the Emperor would be leaving with the princes and ministers for the autumn hunting trip in two days, and seeing how virtuous Wanxin was, she wanted to arrange the marriage as soon as possible.
"Wanxin, pack up and let's go to Yu's study."
Wan Xin nodded gently: "Okay."
Cining Palace was some distance away from Yu's study, so the empress dowager went there in a sedan chair.
When the emperor learned that the empress dowager had come in person, he quickly put down the memorial in his hand and stood up to greet her.
"Mother, if you have anything to ask, just let me go to Cining Palace. Why would you go there in person?"
The Emperor helped the Queen Mother sit down on the chair.
The Queen Mother raised her head and looked at the Emperor, smiled and said, "The Emperor is so busy, how can he have so much free time? I just happen to be free, so I should relax."
The emperor sat back on the throne and asked gently, "My mother, is there something important that brought you here to see me?"
