The Queen Mother slowly moved her hands, motioning Hong Qingyi to sit down, and looked at Long Chi'an with a loving gaze: "Achi, you speak yourself."

"Uncle and aunt." Long Chi'an called Yan Cheng and his wife very politely, and said frankly, "I asked the royal grandmother for a marriage."

The Yan family was surprised.

The Queen Mother said slowly, "It is true. Ah Chi came to my palace early yesterday morning."

Hearing this, Yan Funing frowned.

It should be said that they returned to the city from Yingtian Lake overnight at midnight the day before.

Not only did she think that Prince Chi was here to help testify, but Fu Ciyi probably thought so too.

In fact, Prince Chi did go to the imperial study to testify.

What she didn't expect was that before that, he had already arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace.

"Prince, why are you like this?" She was really confused.

Long Chi'an looked at Yan Fu Ning and explained to everyone: "After Cai Mushi and Dong Kuang's affair was exposed, I guess Lord Fu has a good chance of successfully refusing the marriage. If the emperor's uncle allows Lord Fu to marry Fu Ning again, then I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"A lifelong regret?" the eldest princess exclaimed.

She didn't expect that her son's feelings for Fu Ning were so deep.

Shi Yangyang smiled and said, "I knew that my brother liked Fu Ning."

However, she didn't expect her brother to like her to this extent.

Long Chi'an stood up, bowed deeply to Yan Cheng and his wife, and then looked at Yan Funing again.

"When I first met Fu Ning, her frequent coughing disappeared."

"After seeing her a few more times, I suddenly realized that she was different."

"There are so many women in the world, but only when she is by my side do I not have the symptom of coughing."

"Even when I was a few rooms away from her, my discomfort was alleviated, and I could tell how close she was to me."

"I have had this disease since I was born, and I never thought I would be able to live a comfortable and carefree life like this."

As he spoke, he bowed again: "Therefore, I would like to marry Fu Ning."

When these words came out, Yan Cheng and his wife and the Princess and her husband were all shocked.

Shi Yangyang covered her mouth and whispered to her brother: "Brother, tell her that you like Fu Ning."

How can this be enough?
The Yan family would think that their brother’s purpose was too realistic, and that he wanted to use Fu Ning as medicine.

Yan Funing shook her head slowly and spoke before Long Chi'an: "The prince doesn't like me, it's just that I can alleviate his symptoms, so there's no need to ask for a marriage. You and I are friends, so I will naturally help the prince find a solution."

Long Chi'an's face turned red: "Fu Ning, I actually..."

He actually likes her.

But it was far from what my mother and sister had guessed.

But he thought that as long as they became husband and wife, they would fall in love with each other over time and he would fall deeply in love with her.

Yan Funing raised her hand to interrupt him: "In Qingshan Town, when I first came to the Prince's residence, I was confused. Every time I approached Xuanzhu Hall, the coughing gradually faded; when I left Xuanzhu Hall, the coughing sounded again, and it tended to get worse and worse."

Long Chi'an was shocked: "You knew it a long time ago?"

Yan Funing nodded: "Indeed, I noticed this phenomenon a long time ago, but the prince hid it very well. Later, when you and I met, you coughed as usual a few times, so I didn't think much about it."

Shi Yangyang then understood why her brother, who didn't like women to be around him, treated Fu Ning differently.

Long Shuyun was extremely happy: "Originally, our two families have been engaged. Now that Zhen Yan'er is back, the marriage will naturally fall on Zhen Yan'er. Plus with this miraculous fate, these two children should become husband and wife."

Then, he looked at the Duke and his wife and said, "Duke, Qingyi, you see how well-matched these two children are, why don't you just accept Chi An as your son-in-law."

Yan Cheng asked seriously, "Since Chi An is by Fu Ning's side, has his health really improved a lot?"

Long Chi'an nodded: "Uncle, it is true."

Yan Cheng nodded.

In this case, compared to Fu Ciyi who was in too good a health, Long Chi'an was more suitable for Fu Ning. At this moment, a loud laugh sounded.

Everyone looked at the owner of the voice, Old Master Shi.

The eldest princess's husband, Shi Yu, lowered his voice: "Father, what are you laughing at?"

Old Master Shi smiled again: "These two children are indeed destined to be together. If Chi An hadn't told me, I would have forgotten why our Shi family and Yan family became old friends."

"There is a reason, how come I don't know it?"

Old Madam Shi glanced at Yan Funing with a smile. The girl in front of her had a beautiful face and a good figure. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her.

The most important thing is that it was able to cure her precious grandson’s illness.

Old Master Shi said, "I didn't know about it at first. I found a booklet when I was looking through the family tree some time ago."

"That booklet records the origin of the friendship between the Shi and Yan families."

"It turns out that hundreds of years ago, the ancestor of the Shi family also had the same illness as Chi An. This illness was completely cured after he married the daughter of the Yan family. Since then, the Shi family has prospered."

They are the main branch of the Shi family, and Chi An, as the direct grandson, suffers from the same disease as his ancestor.

Fortunately, Chi An, like his ancestors, also met the eldest daughter of the Yan family.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Look, this is a marriage destined by fate."

Long Chi'an didn't know that his ancestors were like this, but now that he knew, there was a little more affection in his eyes when he looked at Yan Funing.

The Queen Mother continued, "Achi came to see me early yesterday morning. I remembered that Shuyun had said that she wanted to seek the consent of the Yan family. I thought that I was old, so I went to talk to someone older in the Yan family, and I sent for Old Madam Yan."

Now that things have come to this, the Yan family can’t say anything more.

Shi Yu raised his hand to Yan Cheng and said, "Duke, can you please have a word with me?"

Yan Cheng nodded.

The two of them found a secluded pavilion and sat down.

Shi Yu lowered his voice and said, "It is difficult for the emperor to have children. Shu Yun is the emperor's only sister. She and my son have been placed with high hopes since they were young."

"Indeed."

Yan Cheng naturally knew the reason why Long Chi'an was granted the national surname.

Shi Yu got straight to the point: "Chi An's health was not good before. If he could marry Fu Ning, his health would definitely be completely cured. By then, our two families will work towards the same goal, and from now on..."

Although the words were not clearly stated, Yan Cheng understood them.

The two smiled at each other.

That day, the Queen Mother invited Shi and Yan's families to have lunch.

Based on what they talked about in the morning, and the conversation between her parents and the elders of the Shi family during lunch, Yan Funing felt that her marriage to Long Chi'an was probably a done deal.

After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Yan Funing pondered for a whole afternoon before deciding to send Caiyu to the Fu family.

Even though he treated her like that in the car yesterday, she still needed to clarify something that she and her parents had never done.

"You talk to Lord Fu..." Yan Funing gave the instructions.

Caiyu nodded heavily to indicate that she remembered it clearly, and then went to the Fu family.

When she arrived at the Fu Mansion, Fu Ciyi was in the study reading the divorce letter written by Fu Nanyao to see if there were any mistakes in the wording.

"Master Fu."

Caiyu took a few quick steps to salute.

"My young lady asked me to come here and tell you that it was Old Madam Yan who agreed to the marriage yesterday, not the Duke and his wife."

"Why doesn't she come?" Fu Ciyi's voice was very cold.

Caiyu frowned and lowered her head: "The young lady is busy."

"Busy waiting to get married?" Fu Ciyi sneered. (End of this chapter)
