After breakfast, Yun Yichen and Xiao Yao went to meet King Jing and his wife, accompanied by a burden, Xiao Yuan. Admiring his son's frustrated face, King Jing smiled in a rather unkind manner.
The old man was really troublesome. His granddaughter was already married, but he still sent someone to make trouble. I heard that Ruyi insisted on staying in his son's new home, Duiyue Pavilion, last night. Imagine which man would not feel aggrieved when encountering such a thing, but this person could not be beaten or driven away.
Qiuying arranged the brocade cushion, and Yun Yichen and Xiao Yao both knelt on the ground. Xiao Yao first offered a cup of tea to King Jing. King Jing took out the key from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Yao, saying kindly: "This is the key to the storeroom. There are many calligraphy and paintings in it. Take whatever you like."
"Can I only take calligraphy and paintings?"
King Jing laughed and said, "Of course you can take anything. The entire King Jing Mansion will belong to you two in the future. Your father will still care about these things. When you come here, it will be like being at home. You don't have to be restrained or worried. There are no rules in our family. As long as you two are fine, your mother and I will be satisfied."
In two or three years, if we could add a few more babies to the palace, life would be even more complete. Unfortunately, these words weren't what he, as a father-in-law, should say. It seemed a bit too hasty to rush for a child right after the wedding. It wouldn't be too late to wait a year or two. If the old man knew the palace was pushing his granddaughter to have a baby, he would definitely come knocking.
"Mother, please have some tea."
"My dear child, we are finally a family. From now on, you are mother's little daughter. If anyone dares to bully you, just tell me. You don't have to come to greet us every day. Just have dinner with us when you are free." Yin Qianhua was an experienced person. She knew at a glance that her son and daughter-in-law had consummated their marriage last night. It seemed that the two of them were making good progress. So, it would be better to give them more opportunities to be alone. Only in this way could she hold her grandson soon.
Xiao Yao and Xiao Yuan looked at each other in surprise. This was very different from the rules of the Xiao family. How could they be called a family if they didn't eat together every day.
Yin Qianhua had no idea what the two children were talking about, so she couldn't help but ask, "Ping'an, do you have something to say? Come on, if you have anything to say, get up and say it."
Yun Yichen and Qiu Ying helped Xiao Yao up together. They were both waiting to hear what Xiao Yao would answer.
"No matter how busy we are in our family, we always get together for a reunion dinner in the evening. If you two don't mind, I'd like to have dinner with my father and mother."
Yin Qianhua smiled at her son and said, "This was your wife's own request. We didn't say anything."
She was right. The Xiao family did have this rule. There was no need to have dinner with Father, Mother, and Consort every day! She used to eat alone often, so why did she have to have the whole family together? Imagine a newlywed couple, you feed me a mouthful of rice, I feed you a mouthful of soup, how warm and sweet that scene is. If there are too many people, nothing can be done!
After considering the little girl's suggestion and looking at the teasing look in his mother's eyes, Yun Yichen said, "We will definitely eat with our father and mother more often in the future."
It means often accompanying, not every day. King Jing and Yin Qianhua secretly laughed at their son for being too stingy. Yun Ruonan reached out to Xiao Yao for a gift.
"Shouldn't you call her sister-in-law first?" Why did Yun Yichen feel that his family was plotting against his young wife? This was not okay. He had to protect his own people and not let them bully him.
Yun Ruonan and Xiao Yuan pushed Yun Yichen away and pulled Xiao Yao to sit beside them. Sitting next to familiar people, Xiao Yao was not so nervous anymore because she had been recuperating. The gifts she gave to the others were a little simpler, which were three sets of newly tailored clothes embroidered with simple patterns.
"I will make up for the gifts to everyone later. Whatever you want, I will try my best to satisfy it as long as I can."
Prince Jing and his wife and Yun Ruonan all agreed that there was no need to make up for it, as it was already good enough as it was.
"Where's my share? Why is there someone else's but not mine?"
There were also newlywed husbands who asked for gifts from their new wives. Not only did Xiao Yao not know how to respond, but even Yin Qianhua was dumbfounded. It was simply unheard of!
Dare to leave me and sit next to someone else, humph! How can I not ask for some interest? Yun Yichen met Xiao Yao's surprised eyes and said leisurely: "Didn't you just say that you can have whatever you want? And you will try your best to satisfy everyone!"
"I'm talking about Father, Mother, and Ruonan."
"Am I not from the palace?"
Unreasonable, Xiao Yao turned her head and refused to pay attention to him, Yun Yichen was not angry, of course he would not want ordinary things like clothes, he wanted a fragrant and delicious feast that he would never tire of. This could only be satisfied by the person in front of him, so he had to take advantage of the situation to rob.
"I feel that my cousin is different from a few days ago. Now he has started to bully my sister. If you dare to bully others again, I will take my sister home and tell grandfather and uncle that you abuse my sister." Xiao Yuan didn't want to see Xiao Yao angry. She waved her fist at Yun Yichen, said goodbye to King Jing and his wife, and then took Xiao Yao with her left hand and Yun Ruonan with her right hand and walked out without looking back. If you didn't know, you would think he was the owner here instead of a guest!
After watching the excitement, King Jing looked at his stunned son, shook his head, chuckled, and left the living room. Some things were more appropriate for his mother to say. It seemed that this young couple still had a lot of work to do! However, from his perspective as an experienced person, his son was definitely no match for his daughter-in-law. He was so scared when he heard that his daughter-in-law was going to be taken away. There was no hope!
Yun Yichen didn't plan to stay here any longer, as he had to go to the palace to meet the Queen Mother and the Emperor in the afternoon! He should also go down and prepare, especially since the Queen Mother's test was not easy to pass, and he couldn't let the little girl be bullied no matter what.
Yin Qianhua put the cup in her hand on the table. A crisp sound made Yun Yichen stop. What happened to his mother?
"Achen, guess what Ping An is thinking right now."
Yun Yichen thought about it and shook his head. He really couldn't guess.
"She'll definitely think you're fickle, and she's even more afraid that you'll change more and more, and in the end, she won't be the Yun Yichen she knew. You know she was doted on at home, and if you want her to accept you, you have to dote on her even more. How can she get close to you and accept you when you act like a man the day after you get married?"
Yun Yichen really thought that once he married his wife, she would become his own. He would no longer have to consider the feelings of the Xiao family and could just do what he wanted. Isn't that right?
"You haven't forgotten what you promised the Xiao family, right? Do you think that as long as you don't look for other women, you won't be breaking the agreement and you can do whatever you want to Ping An? If you think so, mother tells you that you are completely wrong. The consequence of doing so will only make Ping An drift further and further away from you."
"Mother." Yun Yichen didn't expect such serious consequences might occur. He looked at Yin Qianhua anxiously, hoping that she could tell him what to do.
"Put yourself in her shoes. Men who think that winning a person equals winning her heart are the stupidest. Only by being sincere, considering things from her perspective, and treating her family as your own relatives, can you hope to truly enter her heart. Think about these words carefully when you go back!
"Perhaps you think that once you're married, you should put your husband first and forget about him. You don't need to prioritize him like you did before. If you think and act that way, it will only drive the distance between you two further apart. Don't forget that you were the one who asked for her hand in marriage. Otherwise, she would still be the treasure of your family!"
After Yin Qianhua's reminder, Yun Yichen also realized that some of his ideas were wrong. He would remember what his mother had just said and work hard to win the heart of his young wife instead of just being satisfied with keeping her by his side.
After lunch, Xiao Yao felt terrible when she heard the news that she was going to the palace. She didn't like the palace at all. Is it okay not to go?
Seeing Xiao Yao's undisguised unwillingness, King Jing and Yin Qianhua both laughed. If it were another person, they would know that they were meeting their husband's grandmother and uncle, but they would not show it on the surface. But this child, his face was full of "I don't want to go".
"I'm here!" Yun Yichen knew that the palace was like a nightmare for Xiao Yao. After the meeting at Fengxiang Palace, she probably only had awe and fear towards the Royal Grandmother. If he were in her place, he would not be willing to go either.
Xiao Yao wanted to choose a more elegant palace dress, but Yun Yichen insisted that she wear bright red. Her long, flowing hair and gorgeous gown instantly transformed Xiao Yao into a dignified and elegant bride. Standing next to Yun Yichen, the man looked handsome and the woman was stunningly beautiful.
Empress Dowager Han and Xiao Yao had similar thoughts. She also didn't want to see this granddaughter-in-law who had taken over the Han family girl's position. Today was a special day. This was the newcomer's first time in the palace. Even if she was unhappy, she had to meet her for the sake of her son and grandson.
The sight of her grandson and this woman together was too eye-catching. She had always believed that only women from the Han family were worthy of the position of Crown Prince's Consort. Although she was reluctant in her heart when she saw Xiao Yao today, she had to admit that the two of them were indeed a good match.
"Let your wife stay and talk to me, and you go meet your uncle!" Empress Dowager Han was always kind to Yun Yichen, but completely ignored Xiao Yao.
It wasn't so much that she wanted to keep him to chat, but rather that she was trying to intimidate him. Although her life wouldn't be in danger, a humiliating experience was inevitable.
"Yaoyao, I'm afraid I can't stay and chat with you today. The Emperor's uncle and aunt are waiting for us to meet them!"
Yaoyao... Xiao Yao looked Yun Yichen up and down. Could he call her anything more disgusting? No, I have to talk to him when I get back. This name is not acceptable.
Yun Yichen didn't know why he came up with such a name. He didn't want to call her Ping'an like the Xiao family, and calling her little girl didn't seem appropriate either. After thinking it over, he settled on Yaoyao. Was it corny? He didn't think so at all.
