"I swear to God I'm serious. From now on, you're my older sister, and I'll be there for you whenever you call!"
Song Yan'er's lips twitched. One minute she's calling her sister-in-law, the next her brother, and then her older sister!
Men's words are deceitful!
After discussing what to do next, Song Yan'er and Xiong Batian and his wife left General Si's house!
Because both parties were very satisfied with the marriage, and Xiong Batian really couldn't stay in the capital for long, and most importantly, the two children were not young anymore!
So the two families decided to skip the long ceremony and keep everything simple. They decided to go to a temple to calculate an auspicious date for the two to get married!
Yuuji was overjoyed by this; he couldn't wait to get married on the spot!
As long as it doesn't take two years, that's fine!
Song Yan'er didn't plan to participate in the rest of the matters. After all, Xiong Er's parents had already arrived, and they didn't need her support anymore! The identity of the frontier commander was still very convincing! He commanded hundreds of thousands of troops!
Xiao Yang was brought before the new emperor!
Xiao Yang has been here for a while, but Xiao Yuan hasn't said a word!
Xiao Yang was puzzled! Wasn't he supposed to be in a hurry? Why wasn't he in a rush now that he was here? He should have known better than to rush!
After sitting for another fifteen minutes, Xiao Yang couldn't sit still any longer!
He walked straight up to Xiao Yuan:
"Brother, didn't you say you had something urgent to tell me to come see you?"
Xiao Yuan glanced at Xiao Yang expressionlessly:
"Yes! I just heard you're looking for a wealthy place to retire! That's why I asked you to come and ask if you've found a place yet? Or should I look for one for you?"
Xiao Yang...
I should have kept quiet. I bet Xiao Yuan was just waiting for me to open up so he could question me!
However, this matter had to be addressed sooner or later, and this is also an opportunity!
"Hey cousin, you know how I got married to Yan'er, right? I'm sure Uncle Huang has told you too!"
Yan'er dislikes the capital and doesn't want to stay there. As a member of Western Shu, it's my duty to keep an eye on her and prevent her from settling in another country! Otherwise, she'll bring prosperity to other countries instead of Western Shu!
Xiao Yuan had indeed heard his father, the Emperor, mention Song Yan'er to him, and he believed it to some extent!
From the moment he met Song Yan'er, everything she did was beneficial to the development of the Western Shu Kingdom! Whether it was about salt or improving breeds, those things could bring about a qualitative change in the Western Shu Kingdom!
The grain seeds are now being rolled out nationwide, and he believes that the Western Shu Kingdom will get better and better in the future!
Seeing that Xiao Yuan was silent, Xiao Yang knew that he was actually wavering!
“Brother, Yan’er originally wanted to go back to Dongquan City, after all, many of our foundations are there, but I think it’s too far away, so I chose Yan’er as the fiefdom of Princess Fuxi. It’s very close to the capital, and we can go back and forth in less than a day!”
That way, if you ever need Yan'er's help in the future, she will do her best to help you out of respect for me!
Even though I'm no longer in the capital, my heart will always be here. Brother, if you ever need anything from me, I'll do anything for you, even die for it.
Xiao Yuan rolled his eyes: You've said everything, what am I supposed to say? But after thinking about it, it's actually a good thing!
After all, if Song Yan'er is really unhappy living in the capital and really wants to go to other countries to see what it's like, and ends up living in another country, that would be a loss for the entire Western Shu Kingdom!
After all, her martial prowess has already spread throughout various countries and regions! As long as she remains in the Western Shu Kingdom, other countries will have to consider whether they have the strength to come to her!
Seeing Xiao Yuan soften, Xiao Yang unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had made a promise in front of Bai Zihua, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this moment!
It seems the result is not bad. Even though he hasn't agreed yet, based on Xiao Yang's understanding of Xiao Yuan, he is already 90% confident!
Xiao Yuan glanced at Xiao Yang:
"Since none of you want to stay in the capital, why don't you go to some impoverished place? After all, with your abilities, you can improve that place in just a few years!"
Besides, isn't it incredibly fulfilling to witness a city transform because of you?
Xiao Yang...
I don't feel any sense of accomplishment, thank you!
Xiao Yuan looked at Xiao Yang, who had a bitter expression on his face, and a slight smile appeared on his lips:
Hmph, I don't want to stay in the capital either, but is that even possible? You, on the other hand, not only do you not want to stay in the capital, but you also want to find a wealthy place to retire. You're so young and already thinking about retiring? Dream on! There's no such thing as a free lunch!
After thinking about it seriously, Xiao Yang suddenly realized that it wasn't so hard to accept! After all, as long as his family was together, they could be anywhere!
Besides, to be able to change the appearance of a city because of yourself, to be honest, is really very fulfilling!
Moreover, Xiao Yang really enjoyed this feeling! He liked it even more than if he had become a high-ranking official in the capital!
However, I still need to go back and ask my family for their opinions. I don't know if they would be willing to come with me to a poor place!
Seeing the struggle on Xiao Yang's face, Xiao Yuan waved his hand impatiently:
“Go back. You only have these two options: either stay in the capital and help me, or go to a poor place and help them! You know I just took the throne, and things are not yet in order. I need manpower a lot, which is why I’m so tired every day. Of course, I can’t just watch you live a carefree life!”
That would make me feel so resentful, wouldn't you say? Besides, wasn't our childhood dream to dedicate ourselves to the Western Shu Kingdom? I'm exhausted every day now, which means I've already fulfilled that dream!
So, little brother, don't forget the vow you made when you were little!
Xiao Yang...
Cousin, are you serious about what you said?
As an emperor, shouldn't you sacrifice yourself for the Western Shu Kingdom? Besides, you hold a position above all others; how can we be treated the same?
Xiao Yang left the house looking completely bewildered!
Xiao Yuan couldn't help but laugh as he watched Xiao Yang's retreating figure. His cousin was truly innocent and adorable!
In fact, because of Xiao Yang's achievements in Dongquan City, Xiao Yuan originally planned to send him to serve as a local official for two years!
After all, he knew Song Yan'er's abilities very well. It wasn't so much about using her, but rather that since she had such abilities, he should do as much as he could!
Consider it a way to accumulate good fortune for yourself and your family!
As for Xiao Yang's suggestion to move closer to the capital in case anything happens and help is needed, Xiao Yuan really needs to think about it carefully!
After all, Xiao Yang's words made sense; Song Yan'er's abilities were undeniable!
So we should find a place closer to Beijing!
