The emperor looked calm and seemed to have thought for a long time, and finally nodded slightly.
His tone was somewhat helpless, but more of a decision after careful consideration: "My dear Shen, you have made many achievements in the battles on the border. I understand your sincerity."
"Since you have made up your mind, I cannot refuse your wish."
"In this matter... I will cancel the engagement as you requested."
When Shen Yuhan heard this, a huge stone fell from his heart, and the anxiety that had been suppressed for a long time turned into joy in an instant.
He quickly bowed in thanks, his tone filled with gratitude: "I thank Your Majesty for your grace. I will do my best."
"Serve the imperial court and protect the peace of the Great Zhou!"
The emperor smiled, waved his hand, and said in a gentle tone: "Of course I trust you."
"However, there are still many people in the court who know about the cancellation of the engagement."
"I will choose the right time to deal with it so as to avoid any further incidents."
"You also need to be careful on your side to avoid getting involved in the disputes within the court."
Shen Yuhan nodded in agreement, although he knew in his heart that the matter was not completely settled.
But as long as the emperor personally promised it, it meant that the matter had made decisive progress.
He said no more, bowed to the emperor, and then took his leave and left the imperial study.
After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Shen Yuhan walked quickly into the inner courtyard, feeling an irrepressible sense of relief.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Fang Qingyue sitting by the window.
He gently rocked little Huaiyuan's cradle in his hands, while little Qingge slept quietly beside him.
Seeing Shen Yuhan come in, Fang Qingyue raised her head and a trace of concern flashed in her eyes.
As soon as Shen Yuhan saw her, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
He walked quickly to Fang Qingyue and whispered, "Qingyue, His Majesty has agreed to cancel the engagement."
When Fang Qingyue heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then a look of relief flashed in her eyes.
She gently held Shen Yuhan's hand, with a hint of emotion in her voice: "This matter has finally come to an end, and I can finally rest assured."
Shen Yuhan nodded, with tenderness in his eyes: "Qingyue, you have worked hard."
"Next, I will personally prepare our wedding."
Fang Qingyue smiled, her eyes full of warmth: "We already have two children, why do we still need to hold a wedding?"
Shen Yuhan shook his head seriously, his expression firm: "You are the only wife I will ever have in this life, and the wedding must be grand and dignified."
"This is my promise to you and my explanation to the children."
As he spoke, he pulled out a long list from his pocket and handed it to Fang Qingyue: "These days, I have been planning what I need for the wedding."
"We can choose together and arrange it ourselves."
Fang Qingyue took the list and glanced at the listed items.
She couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Yuhan, you prepared so carefully that I was caught off guard."
Shen Yuhan also laughed, his eyes full of doting: "You have given too much for me over the years, now it's time for me to do something for you."
The next morning, Shen Yuhan personally summoned a group of craftsmen and made detailed arrangements for the renovation of the Marquis' Mansion.
The focus of the renovation is on an independent small courtyard, which will be designed specifically for the twins as their future living space.
Shen Yuhan carefully discussed every detail with the craftsmen, from the room layout to the children's items, to ensure that everything was both comfortable and safe.
"This room needs to be more spacious, and the windows should let in light but not be glaring."
"As for the floor, choose soft wood to prevent children from falling and getting injured."
Shen Yuhan stood in the yard, instructing the craftsmen on the arrangements.
"Yes, my lord." The craftsmen nodded repeatedly and listened carefully to his advice.
Fang Qingyue watched Shen Yuhan busying around from afar, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
She had never seen Shen Yuhan care so meticulously about the children. He was not only a husband, but also a responsible father.
The craftsmen began to renovate the house according to Shen Yuhan's instructions.
A few days later, the rooms in the courtyard looked brand new.
The floor is covered with soft carpets and the curtains are in light colors.
The walls are decorated with decorative paintings specially brought from Jiangnan, adding a touch of warmth.
While renovating, Shen Yuhan also personally purchased a batch of items for the children.
Including cradles, cribs, toys, etc.
He wants to make sure every detail of his two children's lives is impeccable.
His personal action won praise from everyone in the mansion.
The transformation was in full swing, but Shen Yuhan did not stop. He contacted Master Lu, the most famous tailor in Beijing.
This tailor was renowned for his exquisite craftsmanship and specialized in tailoring clothes for noble ladies in the capital, and was particularly skilled in making wedding gowns and court dresses.
After receiving Shen Yuhan's invitation, Master Lu did not dare to neglect it and personally brought his disciples to the house to take measurements for Fang Qingyue to tailor clothes.
They measured Fang Qingyue's size and carefully recorded every detail of her.
She also selected the finest silks and satins to design a gorgeous wedding dress.
The wedding dress is decorated with golden phoenix patterns, symbolizing good luck.
Master Lu bowed and said, "My Lord, we will use the finest silk and satin, and sew the Madam's wedding dress by hand, embroidered with phoenix patterns. We will definitely live up to the expectations of the Lord and Qingyue."
Shen Yuhan nodded, his eyes full of trust: "Thank you, Master Lu, Qingyue's wedding service must be carefully prepared."
Master Lu agreed repeatedly, and then took his disciples back to the shop and worked day and night to make this wedding dress.
At the same time, Shen Yuhan also specially invited craftsmen from the palace to create a set of brocade phoenix hairpin accessories that symbolize status, to be worn by Fang Qingyue at the wedding.
