Marriage certificate...
Why are you thinking about getting engaged at such a young age?
That's childish talk!
Yuan Yao was also extremely helpless.
Moreover, it is not only through marriage that a relationship can be strengthened.
During the years that Father served as regent of the Great Qi Kingdom, weren't the five kingdoms very peaceful and harmonious?
Only in Xiqiu was Princess Liuyue sacrificed.
However, Liuyue's tragedy occurred at the beginning of the late emperor's reign.
At that time, the palace turmoil in the Great Qi Dynasty had just ended, the late emperor had just ascended the throne, the situation in the Great Qi Dynasty was unstable, and Xiqiu was eyeing the country covetously...
Yuan Yao snapped out of her thoughts, smiled, and said to Yun Tan, "Tan'er, don't listen to your uncle."
We should talk about engagement when you're older.
If you really want to help Brother Yunchan, then study hard and grow into an upright, kind, and honorable man.
Then you can help Brother Yunchan!
grow up?
Yun Tan looked at Yuan Yao and frowned: "But... Sister Yao Yao, it will be many years before Tan'er grows up!"
"Wouldn't it be better to get engaged first?"
What's so good about it?!
Yuan Yao said irritably, "You're still young, there's no rush to talk about marriage!"
Your brother Yunchan doesn't need your help anymore.
If you insist on getting engaged, then write your own marriage certificate, negotiate with the emperors of the Three Kingdoms yourself, and get engaged yourself!
Your sister Yaoyao doesn't play with disobedient children!
Is Sister Yaoyao angry?
Yun Tan quickly said, "Sister Yao Yao, Tan'er was wrong."
We're not getting engaged yet; we'll talk about it when she grows up!
"Sister Yaoyao, please don't ignore Tan'er, otherwise Brother Yunchan will also be angry with Tan'er."
As he spoke, he stretched out his small, tanned hand, tugged at Yuan Yao's clothes, and gently shook it.
If she were a little whiter, Yun Tan would look very much like Yun Chan when she was young.
Seeing him admit his mistake and act coquettishly, how could Yuan Yao bear to be angry?
She gently stroked Yun Tan's little head and said softly, "Yes, as long as Tan'er is good, sister won't be angry."
Upon hearing this, Yun Tan finally cheered up.
Standing to the side, Xie Ning clicked his tongue: "Little Yao'er, you're just trying to sabotage your uncle!"
Yuan Yao blinked: "Who told you, Uncle, to corrupt the child?"
Xie Ning was quite helpless, and couldn't help but laugh, "You little rascal..."
He was clearly helping her and Yun Chan!
To everyone's surprise, she didn't appreciate it at all!
Thinking about it, Xie Ning looked at the Ninth Prince and sighed, "Our little Yao'er has grown up and will be getting married soon. Her nephew is starting to side with outsiders!"
The Ninth Prince gave him a cold look: "You asked for it."
Xie Ning choked up, then tried to save face, saying, "I just thought the atmosphere was too quiet, so I made a couple of jokes to liven things up."
The Ninth Prince picked up the teacup beside him, took a small sip, and then asked Yuan Yao, "Isn't he going to go and see the Emperor's wedding?"
“Go!” Yuan Yao said obediently with a smile, “Yao’er heard that Father is back!”
"Wait a moment, Yao'er will go and keep the Emperor company."
Thinking about it, she asked, "Father, would you like to go and take a look?"
Today is the Emperor and Empress's wedding day, it's so lively! Yao'er, shall I take you to see it?
If you change your identity and go with her, she won't go up to you. Instead, she'll choose an inconspicuous spot far away and just accompany her father for a quick look.
The old man paused in his tea-drinking motion.
Are you here to attend the ceremony?
Now, he is a "dead man".
How can a dead person appear in the sunlight?
Disguise?
Appearances can be changed, but his temperament, no matter how well he hides it, will likely be noticed by those who know him well after just a few glances...
"Never mind." The Ninth Prince said to Yuan Yao with affection, "It's just the Emperor and Empress's wedding, Father won't join in the fun."
In a few days, it will be your wedding day, Xiao Yao'er.
Today, go and take a look and learn a thing or two.
"By the time you and Yun Chan get married, you'll have gained experience, and you won't have to work so hard."
“Father…” Yuan Yao blushed, “Yao’er is still early…”
morning?
The Ninth Prince gazed at her intently: "It's getting late. In ten days, the wedding procession will have to depart from Daqi."
Ten days...
Yuan Yao opened her mouth.
For a moment, she couldn't describe how she felt.
Yes.
In ten days, she will be married off to the State of Chu...
The date for her wedding with Yun Chan has been set for the seventh day of the seventh lunar month.
That day happened to be Qixi Festival, also known as the Double Seventh Festival.
All things considered, her days in Daqi are numbered...
Yuan Yao suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
I want to... run away from my wedding!
No wonder Yun Chan had Yun Tan and Bai Yan deliver a message, telling her to control herself and not to run away from the wedding.
Yun Chan really knows her too well!
Yuan Yao left Aruo behind to serve her father and uncle, and only took Jing'er and Yun Tan back to the palace gate.
At the palace gates, officials, noblewomen, and palace servants were all on high alert.
Along the long street, gongs and drums resounded, firecrackers crackled, and horns blared.
Listen, we're not far from the palace gate.
When Yuan Yao arrived, Jiang Chengyan was already sweating with nervousness.
Since being named Crown Prince, under the dual tutelage of the late Emperor and the Ninth Prince, he has long since developed a mature and composed character, remaining calm even in the face of a collapsing mountain.
Unexpectedly, I am extremely nervous about marrying the Empress today.
He had known Deng Zhiheng since childhood.
Over the years, whenever there was a banquet in the palace, Deng Zhiheng, as the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Works, would accompany her mother to the palace...
The former empress, now the empress dowager, was very fond of this Miss Deng.
Sometimes, when Jiang Chengyan went to Fengwu Palace to pay his respects, he would encounter Deng Zhiheng and, following his mother's instructions, would escort this Miss Deng for a while.
In my memory, Deng Zhiheng was just like my elder sister Huairou in temperament—gentle, dignified, and generous.
When you speak to him, tilt your head slightly and smile faintly.
Jiang Chengyan always knew that Deng Zhiheng liked him.
However, over the years, she has always maintained a very good distance from him.
At least, it never made him uncomfortable.
Even on their wedding day, he felt no aversion towards her.
On the contrary, he harbored a faint sense of anticipation...
Jiang Chengyan clenched his fingers, then opened them, watching Yuan Yao approach him.
He raised his hand and gently covered his chest, then smiled faintly at Yuan Yao.
Yuan Yao strode closer with light steps: "What is Your Majesty laughing at?"
Jiang Chengyan raised the corners of his lips: "Happy."
Happy?
Yuan Yao smiled brightly: "Cheng Yan, I'm happy for you too."
The once awkward and arrogant little brat is getting married today!
Soon, he will have his little prince and little princess...
Following closely behind Jiang Chengyan, the young masters and ladies born to the noble families of the capital will repeat the lives of their parents, entering the Imperial Academy and growing up together...
Yuan Yao's eyes stung, but she forced a smile: "Cheng Yan, the future of Da Qi is truly wonderful!"
Jiang Chengyan was taken aback upon hearing this.
He saw a faint glimmer of water and a dazzling starlight in Yuan Yao's eyes.
Jiang Chengyan smiled at her: "Yes, the future of Daqi will only get better and better."
Yuan Yao smiled, her eyes narrowing: "We will get better and better too!"
"Yes!" Jiang Chengyan nodded emphatically.
Just then, a cheering voice came from the palace gate: "They're here! They're here! The bridal sedan chair is almost here!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed joyfully, "Cheng Yan, your bride is coming!"
Hurry, hurry! We're off to pick up the bride!
