Fearing that Su Qiqi and Mo Yunchi would be attacked by assassins again, the emperor wrote a letter and ordered it to be delivered to the Wangsheng Pavilion at full speed. He also ordered the patrols of Changle Palace to be strengthened.
I don’t know if the assassins were scared or what, but they didn’t dare to come again for more than half a month.
Instead, four maids came to ask for a meeting with the token of the Rebirth Pavilion and a handwritten letter from Yan Xi.
On the small piece of paper, two sentences were written in a flamboyant style: "My maid is an excellent martial artist. You can arrange it for me. Thank you for taking care of Yunchi."
The emperor had no choice but to arrange the four maids to be with Mo Yunchi, Su Qiqi, Lu Hongxuan and Shen Mingyue respectively.
The injury on Mo Yunchi's hand was not very serious, but Shen Mingyue was afraid that he would develop a chronic illness, so she insisted that the imperial physician take his pulse every day.
Su Qiqi would always "inadvertently" take out fresh herbs and give them to Mo Yunchi, letting him eat them as snacks.
Mo Yunchi was very curious about where Su Qiqi got the herbs from. Every time he asked, Su Qiqi would babble and act dumb. After asking a few times without any results, he stopped asking.
On the third day of the winter month, several large boxes of rare treasures were delivered to the Qionghua Palace.
In addition to the usual betrothal gifts required for engagement, Shen Jiayan also gave a lot of strange things.
Bizarre shells, fragrant hand creams, melodious conch shells, and exquisitely crafted fishbone lamps...
"These are treasures I collected from all over the place. I hope they will bring you pleasure."
Shen Jiayan is simple and can be summed up in one sentence.
In fact, he always remembered that Lu Qingyuan liked those strange and interesting little gadgets.
Over the years, he has traveled extensively, and in his spare time, he always finds some interesting things to keep with him and then finds an opportunity to bring them back to the capital.
He had always wanted to give those things to Lu Qingyuan, but his status did not allow it. So he could only keep them for himself, and gradually he had more and more.
Now, there is finally a chance.
"I hope these things can bring you fun."
When Shen Jiayan said this, his earlobes turned red.
Perhaps because he was a little embarrassed, he didn't even dare to look Lu Qingyuan in the eye.
"Thank you, husband. I love it."
As Lu Qingyuan spoke, he picked up a conch and started tinkering with it.
Shen Jiayan's earlobes turned even redder.
The emperor doted on her and reprimanded her, "You're already calling me husband before you even get married. If the queen mother hears, she'll scold you."
"It's just a matter of time!" Lu Qingyuan muttered softly.
She put the conch back into the box and reached out to pick up Su Qiqi from the emperor's arms. "Come here, darling. Your uncle gave you a lot of interesting things. Pick out if there's anything you like. I'll give one to you."
Shen Mingyue smiled and said, "This is your betrothal gift. How can you let a child choose it? Don't worry about Qiqi. She has a lot of things."
"It's not particular. I just wanted to give Qiqi something to share in her good fortune."
Lu Qingyuan insisted on holding Su Qiqi and went to look through those things.
Su Qiqi kissed Lu Qingyuan on the cheek and waved her hands excitedly.
[Woo woo woo, Lu Qingyuan is really so nice! ]
[Is this a wedding after the engagement? I really want to eat wedding candy!]
[By the way, according to the plot, Lu Qingyuan will give birth to the heroine next year, right? I must establish a good relationship with the heroine and teach her to be independent and strong. I will never go the route of abusive writing!]
“…”
Lu Qingyuan stared blankly at Su Qiqi in her arms.
This little guy...
Why did he say so many things that she didn’t understand?
Could it be that she was so funny and excited that she was hallucinating?
"Qing Yuan, Jia Yan, I have something I want to talk to you about."
The emperor's words finally brought Lu Qingyuan back to his senses.
"Why did you suddenly become serious?" Lu Qingyuan looked at the emperor, feeling a little uneasy.
The emperor sighed slightly and said helplessly: "The spies have reported that Urna is dead."
"Dead?" Lu Qingyuan was startled at first, then she smiled and muttered softly, "Isn't this good? He has done so many evil things that he deserves death."
Shen Jiayan explained gently, "Ulna is dead, but his nephew, Urke, is not an easy person to deal with."
The emperor nodded, his face solemn: "Beihuang is secretly recruiting troops, I'm afraid it will start a war."
Lu Qingyuan was somewhat disdainful: "They were defeated before, and now if they attack us again, the men of our Tianqi Nation will not be afraid."
"That being said, we must be on guard. We must also send capable people to guard the northern wilderness border."
When the emperor said this, he had already turned his gaze to Shen Jiayan. The meaning was very clear.
Shen Jiayan simply knelt down and said: "I am ready to obey your orders at any time and will never back down."
The emperor bent down and helped Shen Jiayan up. "If it's a blessing, it's not a disaster. If it's a disaster, it's inevitable. I originally wanted to wait until next spring when the flowers bloom before you get married, but I'm afraid that the war will be intense next spring and I may not have time."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyuan gritted her teeth and said, "Since the wedding date is going to be changed, why not move it up."
The emperor said helplessly: "There is a good day at the end of the month, but it's a bit urgent, I'm afraid..."
"The trousseau and wedding attire have already been prepared. I have no objection to making do with the rest. Anyway, the wedding date can be moved forward, not postponed!"
Lu Qingyuan's tone was excited, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
Who can predict what will happen on the battlefield?
We have to leave her with something to think about. If she continues to wait and hope in this palace every day like before, she won't be able to bear it.
"Princess, if we rush things, things might go wrong and it won't be perfect. It would be better to postpone the wedding and wait..."
"Can't!"
Before Shen Jiayan could finish his words, Lu Qingyuan scolded him and rejected him.
【Urk? 】
[Come to think of it, this guy seems to be mentioned in the book. He's quite powerful. The war between Tianqi and Beihuang lasted for quite a while!]
[In the original plot, when Shen Jiayan defeated Wuerke and returned to the capital, Lu Qingyuan's child was already two years old.]
At the celebration banquet, Chen Ziyang lied, saying Lu Qingyuan had taken the child to Jiangnan for fun. In reality, Lu Qingyuan was locked in the backyard, unable to leave, and the child was being brutally abused.
[Now that Shen Jiayan is gone, Lu Qingyuan shouldn't be married to Chen Ziyang anymore, right?]
Su Qiqi muttered quietly in her heart.
Lu Qingyuan started to panic.
When Shen Jiayan returned to Beijing, her child was already two years old?!
She is going to marry Chen Ziyang, that heartless guy?
No! Absolutely not!
"Brother, please move up the wedding date. The engagement has already been made and cannot be broken."
Lu Qingyuan knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor.
The emperor bent down again and helped Lu Qingyuan up. "Never mind, let's do it in advance. I will explain the situation to the Queen Mother tomorrow."
"Thank you, my royal brother."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Tears still welled up in Lu Qingyuan's eyes, but she smiled again, as if this was the result she had been looking forward to and was most satisfied with.
Shen Jiayan was worried and hesitated to speak.
