"You go and bid farewell to the Crown Prince. Marriage requires mutual affection. I'll ask the Crown Prince what he thinks. I'll grant you the marriage only after you reach the age of 15." Emperor Youning smiled kindly.
"Zhao Ning, take your leave." Shen Xihe did not seem to be in a hurry.
His Majesty himself said that marriage requires mutual affection, and he would not marry her to someone else without her consent. Otherwise, if she made a scene, His Majesty would regret it.
The reason she came to the palace today was indeed to bid farewell to the Crown Prince, and to place Sui Axi in the East Palace. In the future, when she is not in Kyoto, it will be inconvenient for Sui Axi to enter and leave the palace.
Shen Xihe paid her respects to the Queen Mother before arriving at the East Palace. As soon as she saw Xiao Huayong, she could feel that his hair seemed to be exuding joy. In the past, he also smiled when he saw her, and it seemed no different, but she inexplicably felt that he was particularly happy today.
"Is there any good news for Your Highness?" He was so happy that she couldn't help asking.
Xiao Huayong told himself to restrain himself, but he couldn't. She told His Majesty that she liked him!
I like him!
Happy!
he!
These few words were the only ones that kept circling in his mind. His Majesty had his people in the Mingzheng Palace, and Shen Xihe wanted to see His Majesty, and there was no one who could send him away. This news would not only spread to him, but would soon spread throughout the palace and outside the palace. It was just that he knew it earlier.
"Ha." Xiao Huayong coughed lightly and reservedly, "I know everything the princess said to His Majesty."
Shen Xihe didn't expect it to be because of this. She looked at Xiao Huayong who was looking down and embarrassed to look at her:...
Wasn't this agreed long ago? She would ask His Majesty for a marriage. Did he mistakenly think that what he just said was sincere
His thick black hair fell down, Shen Xihe could not see his face, but he could see that his ears were red.
Shen Xihe: …
"Your Highness..."
"Princess, these are the snacks that His Highness ordered the Imperial Kitchen to prepare when he heard that you were entering the palace." Shen Xihe was about to explain clearly when Tian Yuan bravely handed over a plate of exquisite snacks.
Shen Xihe glanced at Tianyuan, who was still smiling respectfully and attentively.
He knew what the princess was going to say, but it's not that His Highness didn't know it, he just didn't want to know. He just wanted to be happy, even if it meant deceiving himself, as long as he was happy.
If the princess made her words clear, His Highness would not even be able to find the joy of deceiving himself. Those cold words would pierce His Highness' heart like a knife, and he could not bear to see His Highness licking his wounds by himself.
Shen Xihe did not insist on pouring cold water on Xiao Huayong, but instead tasted the snack.
"Yoyo, is there something wrong?" Xiao Huayong restrained his arrogance and was still very happy.
"Did His Highness's people only pass on half of the message?" Since he knew that she was asking for an imperial decree to grant her marriage, why didn't he know that she planned to go to Linchuan
It wasn't that the people in the Eastern Palace only passed on half of the message, but that the people in the Eastern Palace also knew that Xiao Huayong was fond of Shen Xihe, so they naturally reversed the order, first saying that Shen Xihe asked for an imperial decree to grant the marriage, and then saying that Shen Xihe was going to Linchuan.
However, when Xiao Huayong suddenly heard Shen Xihe's request for marriage, his mind was already confused and he didn't pay attention to the following words.
Xiao Huayong cast a puzzled look at Tian Yuan.
