No one expected that the Ninth Prince would be able to return from Dongye on the day of Danqing's wedding.
Upon seeing the Ninth Prince, Danqing and Yu'er both shed tears.
The maids and matchmakers who accompanied the bride were also moved to tears.
Yuan Yao rushed over: "Father!"
"Do you miss your father?" The Ninth Prince bent down, picked up his little dumpling, and gently weighed it in his hands.
"Yes!" Yuan Yao buried her little head in the arms of the Ninth Prince.
For the past month, she had been longing for his return every single day...
The familiar cool fragrance filled my nostrils.
As she smelled it, Yuan Yao felt a lump in her throat.
It tastes just like Daddy's cooking!
The Ninth Prince held Yuan Yao in his arms, nuzzled her little head with his chin, and then looked at Danqing: "Don't cry anymore."
Upon hearing this, Danqing cried even harder: "This servant...this servant is happy..."
Danqing was the person who accompanied the Ninth Prince the longest in Qianhua Palace, besides the secret guards.
The Ninth Prince took out an exquisite wooden box from his robes and handed it to Danqing: "This is my wedding gift to you."
Wedding gift?
Yuan Yao, Yu'er, and Jing'er looked over together.
Danqing said with tears in her eyes, "This servant cannot accept it..."
"Take it." The Ninth Prince said calmly, "You've been by my side for almost ten years, haven't you?"
I have nothing to give you, nothing to say, I only hope that even after you marry and have children, you will live a good life.
Danqing covered her mouth with one hand and held the box with the other, unable to speak.
How fortunate she was, a mere palace maid.
Not only will she marry the person she loves, but she will also win the heart of the Ninth Prince...
Tonight, she is not only the happiest bride in the world, but also the happiest palace maid in the entire realm!
Seeing Danqing's makeup ruined by tears, the Ninth Prince looked at Yu'er and Jing'er and said, "What are you all standing there for? Help Danqing wash up and redo her makeup."
How could the people of Qianhua Palace be in such a sorry state?
Especially tonight, the bride's portrait is painted.
Danqing finally managed to stop crying.
Yuan Yao said, "Sister Danqing, put on the jade bracelet!"
Just as Danqing finished applying her makeup and putting on her jade bracelet, footsteps sounded outside the room.
Yu'er and Jing'er hurriedly and frantically put the veil back on Danqing.
Danqing nervously sat on the edge of the bed, twisting his hands.
Zheng Kuo, dressed in his wedding attire, entered the room carrying wine and glasses.
He first glanced at Danqing on the bed before bowing to the Ninth Prince: "Hearing that Your Highness has returned, I specially brought some wine with me."
As he spoke, he bowed in greeting.
Tonight is a great night, and as the groom, Zheng Kuo was forced to drink a lot of alcohol.
Fortunately, he can hold his liquor fairly well.
"Get up." The Ninth Prince said in a calm voice, "Danqing, I am entrusting her to you. From now on, if you ever bully her, I will hold you accountable."
His words sounded so casual and insincere.
However, Zheng Kuo was still startled.
The alcohol made me sober up quite a bit.
Zheng Kuo poured two cups of wine, and handed one of them to the Ninth Prince, solemnly saying, "Now that Danqing has married me, Zheng Kuo, I, Zheng Kuo, will never betray her in this life!"
If I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning and meet a terrible end!
Under the veil, upon hearing Zheng Kuo's vow, Danqing bit her lip, her eyes reddening once again.
She really was a very lucky palace maid...
After attending the wedding banquet, Zheng Kuo ordered a feast to be set up in the courtyard for the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince refused, saying, "I've been traveling all night and will return to the palace first."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Yu'er and Jing'er.
The two walked to the bedside, whispered a few words in Danqing's ear, and then left the room laughing.
Danqing's fingertips were almost red.
Yuan Yao asked curiously, "What did you say?"
Jing'er blushed and said, "This servant doesn't understand either!"
don't know?
I don't understand, why is her face so red?
Yuan Yao didn't quite believe it.
The Ninth Prince bent his index finger and gently tapped her forehead: "There are some things that Little Dumpling shouldn't hear."
Yuan Yao puffed out her cheeks: "Being a dumpling is a bad deal!"
Upon hearing this, the Ninth Prince smiled slightly: "I think it's quite nice to be a dumpling. It's better for my little Yao'er to grow up slowly."
Grow up slowly?
not good!
Not good at all!
As a dumpling, it doesn't even have the ability to protect itself, so what's so good about it?
The only advantage is that you can snuggle in the arms of the Ninth Prince anytime, be affectionate, sleep, or simply enjoy the warmth and coolness of his embrace in winter and summer...
Time was given to the newcomer, and the Ninth Prince carried Yuan Yao out of the Ministry of Justice's residence.
At the mansion, music and dance continued without ceasing.
Zheng Yihe took his father's place and greeted the guests with impeccable manners...
Inside the carriage, nestled in the arms of the Ninth Prince, Yuan Yao looked up and asked, "Father, Danqing must be very happy, right?"
"What's wrong?" The Ninth Prince put his arm around her and closed his eyes to rest.
Yuan Yao replied obediently, "Because Danqing married for love!"
Marry for love?
The Ninth Prince slowly opened his eyes.
He curled his lips into a smile: "I've been gone for a month, where have you picked up some strange and unusual sayings?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao asked in a soft, sweet voice, "Does Daddy agree?"
What do you agree with?
Do you agree that Danqing married for love?
The Ninth Prince chuckled, "If Yao'er says she agrees, then Father agrees."
"That's so perfunctory!" Yuan Yao drawled in her childish voice.
The Ninth Prince reached out and pinched the little bun on Yuan Yao's head: "Small in stature but big in mind."
The strength of the nine thousand-year-old's hands made him exceptionally skillful.
Yuan Yao felt as if the bun on her head had been electrocuted.
She exclaimed in a childish voice, burying her entire little head in the arms of the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince gently stroked her back and closed his eyes contentedly.
The happiest thing in life is to open your eyes and see your little dumpling in front of you, and close your eyes and have your little dumpling in your arms...
Even if three horses died on the way, it was worth it!
When the Nine Thousand Years Old returned to the capital, apart from the Ministry of Justice and the Qianhua Palace, no one outside the capital knew about it.
Therefore, the gates of Qianhua Palace remained closed for two consecutive days.
These past two days, the Ninth Prince had a good sleep and recharged his energy.
The third day was the day for Danqing to return to her parents' home.
As a palace maid who had married out of Qianhua Palace and held an imperial title, Danqing first paid her respects to the Empress before arriving at Qianhua Palace accompanied by Zheng Kuo.
It was only then that the emperor learned that his A Yuan had been back in the palace for two days!
The emperor, cursing and swearing, led his entourage to Qianhua Palace.
Before the person even entered the room, a voice came from outside the hall: "A-Yuan! A-Yuan..."
Yuan Yao almost choked on her tea.
Danqing served the tea, turned around, and curtsied, saying, "This servant greets Your Majesty."
The emperor, his clothes still unbuttoned, hurriedly stepped into the Moonflower Palace.
Upon seeing Danqing, he waved his hand and said, "You also have an imperial title now, so you don't need to refer to yourself as a servant anymore."
Danqing responded and, with Zheng Kuo's help, stood up.
Zheng Kuo said in a deep voice, "Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty."
"My dear minister, there's no need for such formalities." The emperor flicked his sleeves and looked anxiously at the Ninth Prince: "A-Yuan, you're back! Why didn't you tell me?"
The Ninth Prince sipped his tea and said indifferently, "I wish to have two days of peace and quiet."
emperor:"……"
The emperor looked somewhat aggrieved: "A-Yuan, are you upset that I'm disturbing you?"
The Emperor's gaze swept over the Emperor, noticing the rouge on his lapel, and he sneered, "Your Majesty is in quite a good mood."
While I'm out leading troops in battle, Your Majesty still has the leisure to favor your concubines.
The emperor looked down and was struck dumb.
