Unlike Xiao Jinyan, who is very treacherous! Shen Chuwei thought of herself, who also has an unknown origin, right? If the prince and the queen knew about this, they would probably have the same reaction.
However, Xiao Jinyu has been spoiled since childhood and is the emperor and empress's darling, so it is normal for the empress to be so cautious.
At this time, Qiancheng Hall
Xiao Jinyu asked the Clothing Bureau to order a beautiful and simple dress for her early in the morning.
The lake green dress sets off Miss Han's snow-white skin very well. Her hair style has always been simple and elegant, with a peach blossom hairpin in her dark hair.
Xiao Jinyu looked at the peach blossom hairpin and felt it was too plain and simple, so she took out a hairpin inlaid with emerald from the jewelry box and walked up to Miss Han.
"The peach blossom hairpin on your head is too plain. This hairpin is custom-made by the Imperial Crafts Department. It is very beautiful and goes with your clothes. I will change it for you."
Miss Han lowered her eyes and looked at the emerald hairpin inlaid in his hand. It was worthy of the craftsmanship of a master craftsman from the Royal Crafts Department. Both the workmanship and the details were handled very perfectly, which was incomparable to that of street vendors.
"No need, just wear the 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 by the emperor and spoiled, she became spoiled and sometimes even lost her temper in front of the emperor.
But for the most part, Xiao Jinyu still respected his father.
Miss Han nodded, "Yeah."
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 can be a little fierce at times, he is still a very good person, so you don't have to be afraid."
Miss Han listened quietly, then replied: "With Prince Yu here, I'm naturally not afraid."
When Xiao Jinyu heard this, he realized that Miss Han trusted 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 son pays respects to the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother be blessed with good health and happiness."
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 Queen and the Crown Princess."
The queen waved her sleeves and said, "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Miss Han stood up from the ground and stood beside Xiao Jinyu.
This was the second time the Queen had seen Miss Han. The first time 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 Fengyi Palace.
"The Emperor has arrived." With the shrill voice of Eunuch Li, he stepped into Fengyi Palace.
The Queen led them to pay 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 noticed the woman next to Xiao Jinyu at a glance. Because of her outstanding appearance and height, she was easily discovered.
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 of the north, and I had to eat coarse food. It is easier for a tall girl to marry, but it is harder for a petite girl to marry."
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 were indeed rumors that the heroine was tall and rough.
"Then why did you end up in Daxia?"
"My relatives died of illness, and I struggled to make a living. In the end, I was sold to Daxia by human traffickers..."
Before Miss Han finished speaking, Xiao Jinyu hurriedly replied: "Luckily I met you, your son. When you saw injustice, you drew your sword to help 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 brought her home yet, so he was helping her with every word. What would happen after he brought her home?
The emperor turned his head and looked at the queen. "What do you think, Queen?"
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?"
When Xiao Jinyu heard what the Queen said, she said happily, "Father, Your Majesty, Mother, I think the fifteenth of next month is an auspicious day for marriage. What do you think?"
emperor:"……"
Shen Chuwei didn't dare to say anything, but she still admired Xiao Jinyu in her heart. She even picked a date, which meant she had already planned it before telling the emperor and empress. The emperor said unhappily, "It's the parents' order and the matchmaker's words. You haven't even started your horoscope yet, and you've already decided on a date?"
The queen tugged at the emperor's sleeve, looked at her son and said softly, "As the Prince of Yu, your marriage cannot be decided with just a few words. You need to ask the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to 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 soon. The autumn hunting season is coming up soon. We should discuss the marriage after the autumn hunting season."
Xiao Jinyu was not an unreasonable person. Naturally, he wanted to hold a grand wedding so that Miss Han could marry into Qiancheng Palace with honor.
"I will obey my father, the emperor and my mother."
As he said that, he pulled Miss Han up and they both knelt on the ground.
Both the emperor and the empress were startled by the sudden gift and subconsciously shrank back.
They knew Xiao Jinyu too well. He would not perform such a grand ceremony for no reason. If he performed such a grand ceremony, it must be because he was 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 yet explicitly agreed to the marriage, but his son brought Miss Han as a big gift, which was equivalent to their consent.
Xiao Jinyu raised her head and said with a smile: "Father and Mother, shouldn't you give your future daughter-in-law a gift or something?"
emperor:"……"
Queen: “…”
Before the day of marriage, they are already asking for a 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 prevent herself from laughing out loud. She was sure that Xiao Jinyu was a wife-slave.
Since her son had already spoken, 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. I am giving it to you now."
Miss Han took it with both hands and expressed her gratitude verbally, "Thank you, Queen."
Xiao Jinyu said: "You have to call me mother." - Queen: "..."
The emperor saw that his son was becoming more and more demanding, and he 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 hurriedly explained: "Queen, 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, turned around and left.
The emperor felt that he was wronged. He was clearly talking about his son, so why did he get dragged into it? Who said he would not protect his wife?
The aggrieved emperor saw his son who had gone and returned, and asked, "Why are you back again?"
"Father, I am here to tell you that I will bring your future daughter-in-law with me during the Autumn Hunting Trip."
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.
When the emperor saw Susu smiling so sweetly, the grievance he had just felt immediately disappeared, and he picked up Susu.
"Granddaughters are still the best. They can only make Grandpa Huang happy."
Susu hugged Grandpa Huang's neck, pouted and kissed him on the face.
The emperor was stunned at first, then he laughed happily and went to find the queen while holding Susu.
"Queen, Susu kissed me."
Cining Palace
The empress dowager learned that the emperor would set out with the princes and ministers for the autumn hunting trip in two days, and seeing Wanxin's virtuous appearance, she wanted to arrange the marriage as soon as possible.
"Wanxin, pack up and let's go to the imperial study."
Wan Xin nodded gently: "Okay."
The Cining Palace was some distance away from the Imperial 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 the Cining Palace. How can I ask you to go there in person?"
The emperor helped the empress dowager sit down on the chair.
The Queen Mother raised her head and looked at the Emperor, she smiled and said, "The Emperor is so busy, how can he have so much free time? I just happen to have nothing to do, so I should relax."
The emperor sat back on the dragon throne and asked in a gentle voice, "Then my mother came to see me later. Is there something important?"
