After the general's wife was reborn, everyone knelt down and begged her for mercy.

Ning Ruyan opened her mouth but no sound came out, for she was a little confused. In her past and present lives, although she had been married to Jiang Boyan, he was the only man she had from beginning to end. But, could he really keep her as he promised and have her as the only woman from beginning to end?

just in case……

The people around were a little anxious, but they didn't dare to urge them.

"Yan Yan, you don't believe me?" Xia Yan looked up at her with a firm look in his eyes.

Ning Ruyan exhaled, raised her eyes and looked at the other person: "You know, I've been through so much, I don't really believe in...promises." After a pause, "I have Alang, and I don't really want to get married, I..."

"I understand." Xia Yan smiled. "If you don't want to get married, I won't force you. But you have to be with me. If you feel uncomfortable one day, I will let you leave."

Ning Ruyan's eyes widened a little.

"Your Majesty, your words are not a joke." Xia Yan said, and asked his men to deliver a copy of the imperial edict. "I understand your concerns, and this is my promise to you."

The imperial edict promised that as long as Ning Ruyan brought the edict here, one of her conditions would be met.

There is the seal of Emperor Xia Wen on it, which means it was an order issued by the emperor himself.

It was a lie for Ning Ruyan to say that she didn't dare to move. After all, she was a remarried woman. Under normal circumstances, even if she could remarry, it would definitely not be a good one.

After she returned home, there were people who proposed to her, but they were all about marrying older men, and her father rejected them.

But now, she can marry the most noble man, and he has even planned a way out for her in advance. If she still refuses, it would be hypocritical.

"Okay." Ning Ruyan took a deep breath and took the imperial edict.

Xia Yan smiled.

After staying in Gusu for a few days, Xia Yan had to set off back to Beijing, but this time, Ning Ruyan and Alang would accompany him.

"My daughter, if you feel unhappy, just come back, okay?" Ning Ze still couldn't bear to leave his daughter and grandson, and held Ning Ruyan's hand with tears in his eyes.

"Dad, I know." Ning Ruyan nodded, then said goodbye to her brother and sister-in-law, and got on the carriage with Alang in her arms.

The journey back to the capital was not very peaceful. There were two assassination attempts. Fortunately, Xia Yan was well prepared, so he was not affected too much.

Because they were traveling with Ning Ruyan and Alang, they couldn't travel very fast. In addition to the troubles they encountered along the way, it was already half a month later when they arrived in the capital.

Emperor Xia Wen actually went out of the city in person to welcome his son. When he saw Ning Ruyan, his expression paused slightly, then he smiled and let her stand still. But when he saw Alang, he burst into laughter.

Alang was not shy and stretched out his arms to let him hold him, then rubbed his beard with his little hands.

Everyone around was scared to death, but Emperor Xia Wen smiled and was not angry. Instead, he carried him into the carriage.

Ning Ruyan looked at the man beside her with a little trepidation, but he held her hand directly and gave her a reassuring look, and her heart immediately calmed down.

Originally, I thought that I would encounter some twists and turns or obstacles after returning to the capital, but unexpectedly, it was so peaceful, so peaceful that Ning Ruyan felt it was unreal.

The ministers in the court did not oppose Xia Yan.

No one even opposed her becoming the Crown Princess.

Ning Ruyan found it strange and went to ask Xia Yan.

"Haha." Xia Yan laughed, "That's because everyone remembers all the things you did before." He touched Ning Ruyan's head and said, "There are many bad people in this world, but there are also many good people. Since I promised you, it must be you. I will do my best to protect you."

Ning Ruyan nodded: "Okay, but I'm not a dodder, I can stand shoulder to shoulder with you."

"I know." Xia Yan held her hand, "Let's walk side by side from now on."

"But Alang..."

Xia Yan smiled: "Alang may have to work harder." "What's wrong?" Ning Ruyan frowned.

"The Crown Prince is naturally hard-working."

"But……"

"That's my son. Since I accepted the position of Crown Prince, he can only accept the position of Crown Grandson. After all, the throne must have an heir."

Ning Ruyan smiled helplessly: "Okay." But she felt a little sad in her heart. In this life, she completely got rid of the life of her previous life and embarked on a completely different path.

This road is destined to be bumpy.

but……

When she saw Xia Yan's determined eyes, she was still very confident.

The next day, Emperor Xia Wen personally issued an edict to announce it to the world, formally appointing the crown prince, and also appointing the crown prince grandson. Of course, he did not forget to appoint Ning Ruyan as the crown princess.

Of course, there were people who agreed with this decision as well as those who opposed it, but Emperor Xia Wen fought back with all his might.

Xia Yan is naturally not someone who is easy to mess with. If anyone disagrees, he will dig up the other person's ancestors for eight generations. Who can guarantee absolute innocence?
So, after a few days, everyone quieted down.

And gradually, Emperor Xia Wen began to delegate power due to health reasons.

Xia Yan became busier and busier, but he was very sensible. No matter how busy he was, he would take time every day to spend time with A Lang, and no matter how late it was at night, he would come back to sleep in the same bed with Ning Ruyan.

"Your Highness..."

"We are husband and wife. You used to address me as Sir, but now it's Your Highness. Can't you change it? Can't you be more intimate?"

"More intimate? What are you shouting?" Ning Ruyan was stunned.

"For example, husband? Ayan? You choose one."

"Ayan."

"So good." Xia Yan touched the top of Ning Ruyan's head, "What do you want to say?"

"I wanted to say that you don't have to run back and forth every day, you..."

"Did I disturb you?"

"No." Ning Ruyan shook her head, "How could it bother me? I just think it's too tiring for you to run back and forth."

"Going home, how can it be hard?" Xia Yan smiled, "As long as you don't feel disturbed, I am willing to come back."

"Okay." Ning Ruyan smiled, "It's getting late, let's go to bed."

"Every time I came back and saw that you were already asleep, I felt embarrassed to wake you up, but now that you are awake, let's do something that makes you wake up."

"what are you up to?"

"Do what you love naturally." Xia Yan said as he turned over and pressed the man down.

When Ning Ruyan fell asleep, the sound of roosters crowing could be faintly heard outside, but Xia Yan had not slept at all and got up directly to prepare for court.

"Ayan." Ning Ruyan wanted to get up. After all, as someone's wife, it was her duty to serve her husband, not to mention that he was the prince.

"There are no so many rules between us, let's go to sleep." Xia Yan kissed her, "Wait for me for dinner tonight." (End of this chapter)
