After Princess Xuanxue came down from the mountain, the whole capital was in chaos.

On the day Jiang Jiulu returned home, she came with Li Jiaojiao's child in her arms. The child was also one year old and was round and cute.

She has made up her mind to treat this child well. He is not a son and will not compete with her child for family property. Giving this child a happy childhood and a good husband's family is nothing to Jiang Jiulu.

She was happy to gain favor in front of Bai Fujun.

This day, Sun Xiangli Youming also made an excuse to come. The excuse was very simple, that is, he and Xiangli Mingzhu were related, and of course he should come when the relative's daughter got married.

During lunch, Xiangli Youming couldn't sit still. When he saw Yuan Qi standing at the door to take a breath, he walked over.

The two of them stood in the corridor together, Xiangli Youming gently put Yuan Qilong Lelong's clothes on to make her warmer, and his eyes revealed his expectations for the future.

Xiangli Youming gently held Yuan Qi's hand and said softly: "Your sisters are already married. It's time for us to consider making our marriage arrangements."

Yuan Qi felt a little uncomfortable. She was not used to close contact with others, so she gently withdrew her hand.

She lowered her head slightly, thought for a moment and then replied: "In a few years, um, five years, five years from now, I will be an adult by then. I also hope to get engaged to you as soon as possible, but this needs to be discussed together by us. , find a suitable time.”

Their eyes met, as if they could see each other's inner desires through each other's eyes.

Xiangli Youming smiled and nodded. He took Yuan Qi's hand and brought her closer to him.

"I understand that your status is different from ordinary people. As long as you are willing to marry me, I will be happy to wait as long as you want. We are not in a hurry. But I hope that we can confirm it as soon as possible so that our love has a clear future."

Yuan Qi's eyes shone with happiness, and she said softly: "Let us wait for a while, and when everything is ready, we will hold a special engagement ceremony."

Xiangli Youming's heart was filled with warmth. He knew that Yuan Qi wanted their engagement ceremony to be perfect and unforgettable.

Xiangli Mingzhu heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but feel worried for Xiangli Youming. She felt that Yuan Qi asked Xiang Li Youming to wait for five years, which was too long. Five years was enough to change a lot of things.

So, Xiangli Mingzhu gently walked to Yuan Qi and persuaded softly: "Yuan Qi, you see, five years is really too long. Why don't you wait until you are fifteen to get engaged? This will also make you happy." You Ming can feel at ease." There was sincerity and concern in her eyes.

Yuan Qi turned his head and looked at Xiangli Mingzhu, with a trace of hesitation on his face. He thought for a moment, and then said: "I know you do it for our own good, but I also have my own ideas. Although five years is not a short time, I hope to become more mature during this time and understand better My own thoughts. I don’t want to make a decision easily to avoid regret in the future.”

Xiangli Mingzhu frowned slightly. She could understand Yuan Qi's concerns, but she was still worried that time would change everything. After all, Xiangli Youming's status was precious, and many women in Kyoto had gone to great lengths just to marry him.

After such a long time, what if someone changes their mind?
Yuan Qi is a Taoist priest. Which young master is willing to marry a Taoist priest? What should I do if I can't get married?

She held Yuan Qi's hand and said, "I understand your thoughts, but time waits for no one. Five years of waiting is also a kind of torture for You Ming. You have to think about it carefully."

Yuan Qi felt Xiangli Mingzhu's worry. He nodded and said, "I will seriously consider it. If he changes his mind midway and wants to marry another woman, it means we are not destined. I will not force it."

Xiangli Mingzhu frowned and looked very anxious.

She talked about her joy and said to Yuan Qi: "How could you keep people waiting for so long? Aren't you afraid that people will change their minds? You are such a big-hearted kid!"

Yuan Qi stood aside, bowing his head and saying nothing, as if he had no intention of changing his mind.

Seeing that Yuan Qi didn't respond, Xiangli Mingzhu became even more anxious. She continued patiently: "You know, opportunities wait for no one. If you don't know how to cherish them, you will only let the opportunities slip away from your hands." There was a hint of reproach in his voice. Yuan Qi raised his head slightly, looked at Xiangli Mingzhu, and said softly: "I understand, I will pay attention."

Xiangli Mingzhu looked at Yuan Qi and shook her head helplessly. She knew that Yuan Qi still needed time to grow.

Xiangli Youming couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He knew that Yuan Qi still didn't love him enough.

"Don't worry, I can wait. I believe she will be willing to marry me one day."

Xiangli Mingzhu glanced at Xiangli Youming, and the anxiety in her heart eased slightly.

Xiangli Youming turned to Yuan Qi and said, "Yuan Qi, you have to remember that time is precious to everyone. We must respect other people's time and cherish our own opportunities." Yuan Qi nodded. , said with a firm expression: "I understand, I will consider it."

Xiangli Mingzhu looked at Yuan Qi and gradually let go of the worries in her heart.

Five years later.

On that special day, the engagement ceremony between Xiangli Youming and Yuan Qi was grand and solemn.

Xiangli Youming's heart was filled with joy. His long-awaited heart finally came to fruition. All are here.

This engagement ceremony is more grand than an ordinary wedding ceremony.

Not everyone's daughter can marry the next head of the Xiangli family. It would be a supreme honor and power, which means that the Jiang family's status will rise to a higher level.

Jiang Zhengqing looked at Yuan Qi happily and whispered to her: "Your mother has entered the Jiang family's ancestral grave."

Yuan Qi nodded slightly: "I already knew it."

Jiang Zhengqing said: "I know this has always been a knot in your mind. What you have done for the Jiang family has been seen by the clan elders. They all agreed that your mother should be buried in the ancestral grave. The clan elders also agreed that I would posthumously recognize your mother as my concubine. , your mother’s memorial tablet has also been placed in the Jiang family ancestral hall, and it has become justifiable from now on.”

Yuan Qi hummed: "No matter what, I have to thank my father."

Xiangli Youming stared at Yuan Qi's beautiful face, his eyes shining with happiness.

Yuan Qi smiled, her eyes revealing her deep affection and commitment to Xiang Li You Ming.

Xiangli Youming held Yuan Qi's hand tightly, as if he owned the whole world.

He felt that he was the happiest man in the world, and their love would be frozen forever at this beautiful moment.

People around them blessed them, and a joyful atmosphere permeated the whole scene.

Xiangli Youming and Yuan Qi cling to each other and welcome a happy life in the future together. Their love story will continue to be written, full of sweetness and warmth. (End of chapter)
