Lu Qingyuan was trembling all over. She was the eldest princess, begging to get married like this, it was really...
It's really exciting and brave.
She has read many books and copied many poems.
She had imagined this scene last night and prepared countless beautiful speeches.
For example, "If it weren't for you in this life, why would I worry about matching black hair with white clothes"; another example is "Butterflies come with the wind, people leave and the moon is dull"; another example is "There will be no more stunning beauty in my life, every blade of grass and every tree is filled with lovesickness"...
Saying this makes her seem more reserved and introverted.
But the moment she finally embraced the person she had been thinking about day and night, all her plans were disrupted and her mind was in a mess.
She had only one thought: don't wait any longer, don't marry someone she doesn't like, and don't live her life in a muddle.
Therefore, what came out of her mouth were only the most straightforward, urgent and sincere requests.
Then, all that remained was a long silence.
At this moment, Shen Jiayan looked at the person in his arms with red eyes crying, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
My heart was beating so fast, like thunder, hitting my heart hard.
"Qingyuan."
After many years, Shen Jiayan called Lu Qingyuan's name again.
He raised his hand and gently wiped Lu Qingyuan's tears.
"You should understand that I can't give you a stable and comfortable life."
Lu Qingyuan shook her head. "I don't need you to give me a stable and comfortable life. I need you to marry me in a grand ceremony."
She raised her hand and grabbed Shen Jiayan's wrist, gently stroking the calluses on his palm.
"Shen Jiayan, I don't believe you don't have me in your heart, so I'm going to go out of my way to tell you the truth."
She sobbed and continued, "You know, I'm flamboyant, willful, and have a weird temper. I don't like any of the men chosen by my mother. I would go crazy if I married them."
Of course Lu Qingyuan knew that Shen Jiayan had her in his heart.
Otherwise, why would Shen Jiayan refuse to get married or take a concubine despite Mr. Shen's urging?
Otherwise, why would Shen Jiayan bother his sister-in-law to take care of her?
"Qing Yuan, things are not as simple as you think."
Shen Jiayan was very helpless. He wanted to explain but didn't know how to start.
You can't just say that the reason he hasn't proposed to Lu Qingyuan is because the Queen Mother doesn't want to, right?
Mingyue is still in the harem. Having offended the empress dowager, Mingyue's days will probably be difficult.
Furthermore, the Queen Mother was Lu Qingyuan's biological mother. If he fell out with the Queen Mother, Lu Qingyuan and the Emperor would be in a dilemma.
The best way is to wait for him to quell the unrest, arrange the border affairs, and then hand over the military power and ask to marry Lu Qingyuan.
But this takes too long to plan, and there are too many unknown changes.
Boom boom boom…
Just as the two of them were lost in thought and silent, there was a knock on the door.
Baozi's deliberately low voice came from outside the door: "Princess, if you don't go back, the Queen Mother will get suspicious."
"good."
Lu Qingyuan responded, raised her head, and looked at Shen Jiayan: "Don't make me wait too long."
After saying that, she turned around, opened the door and left.
Shen Jiayan clasped his hands slightly, unable to help but savor Lu Qingyuan's embrace and breath.
He waited a little longer before going back.
When Shen Jiayan returned to the front yard, everyone had already taken their seats. No one had the nerve to look at Lu Qingyuan.
"Jia Yan, what are you standing there for? Come and sit down."
The emperor waved at him and said with a smile, "There are no outsiders here, so you don't need to be restrained."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Shen Jiayan responded, retracted his gaze, and sat down at the table.
"Try this squirrel mandarin fish dish. Mingyue worked hard in the kitchen all morning to make it for you! I rarely get to taste her cooking!"
After saying that, the emperor picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and tasted it with relish.
"Qing Yuan deserves credit for making this squirrel mandarin fish so delicious. She's been busy all the time. Hey, where's Qing Yuan? She was just complaining about being hungry, so why is she gone now?"
Shen Mingyue seemed to realize it later and wanted to get up and look for it.
"Oh, luckily my sister-in-law still remembers me! Otherwise I would be heartbroken!"
Lu Qingyuan walked out from the inner room with a smile.
The Queen Mother raised her eyes and frowned: "Your eyes..."
"Somehow, chili peppers got on my sleeves, and when I rubbed my eyes, they were so spicy I started crying. But I didn't notice, and the more I rubbed, the more painful it became!"
As Lu Qingyuan spoke, she began to laugh.
My eyes are red and swollen, which makes me worry and feel distressed.
The Queen Mother said, "Hey, why don't you be more careful? Do you want to change your clothes?"
"No, I'm starving. I need to eat something first, or I'll starve to death!"
Lu Qingyuan walked over to the Queen Mother and sat down, picked up her chopsticks and started picking up the dishes and eating.
As if carefree.
Shen Jiayan was a little dazed, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour.
Lu Qingyuan's smile and carefree attitude at this moment were all fake.
When Lu Qingyuan leaned on his arms and cried just now, she couldn't suppress the cry from the bottom of her heart.
"Alas, the Mid-Autumn Festival in previous years was always very lively. This year it seems so petty."
The Queen Mother felt dissatisfied after taking just two bites.
Lu Qingyuan poured her a bowl of chicken soup and said with a smile, "This year is really special."
The Queen Mother nodded thoughtfully: "That's true. I didn't expect Old Nine to be so ambitious."
The emperor said, "On the ninth day of next month, envoys from various countries will come to visit, and it will be a lively occasion again."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "Well, Hu Di sends some rare things every year. I'm really looking forward to it."
