If I want to run away from the outer chamber, I will criticize the prince madly and take me into the

Chapter 268 Yuan Xi and Yuan Jia

After Ke Chao left, Cui Ying slowly opened her palm, and the exquisite key lay in her palm.

"In fact, Ke Chao has already come to Shangjing, but he feels that if he sees you, he might be even more reluctant to let go."

"He's heading for the border."

Cui Xu stood behind Cui Ying and said something. Cui Ying turned around and said, "Go to the border?"

Hearing her question, Cui Xu nodded: "Now that Dashuo and Dongyi have signed a trade contract, the border is in need of these merchants."

Today, Ke Chao is no longer the boy who used to worry about money. He is quick-witted and has already decided to do business at the border. Although the risk is high, the rewards are immeasurable.

Before in Wulei City, he was afraid that after he left, Cui Ying would have no one to take care of her. Now that he sees that she and Chu Yan are living well, he has nothing to worry about.

If he stays away from him, maybe he will slowly forget about these things.

"That's fine. He's very good and shouldn't waste his time on me any more."

Cui Ying held her hand, then put it down. Cui Xu smiled and said, "Yingying is not bad either. I have a wedding gift for you as well."

As he spoke, Cui Xu took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and said, "This is what your sister-in-law and I prepared. Brother doesn't have much ability, but if you are wronged in the future, wherever you are with brother and your sister-in-law, it will be your home."

"Hanzhou's token. Anyone who sees this token can travel freely."

This gift was not gold, silver, jade or precious stones, but it was the best Cui Xu could think of.

If she is unhappy living in Beijing in the future, at least she still has a home to return to.

"Thank you, brother and sister-in-law, you will always be my family."

Cui Ying reached out to take it, looked up at Cui Xu and smiled.

Before dawn the next day, Shen Huajiao and Xie Weixing pulled Cui Ying up. The makeup lady did her makeup, and Dongyue and Amber dressed her. Everything went on in an orderly manner.

But when it was time to comb Cui Ying's hair, no one was there to comb it. Shen Huajiao stepped forward, took the comb and said, "Let me do it."

"You call me sister-in-law, so I am your elder. Today I will help you dress up."

Shen Huajiao muttered some auspicious words while combing her hair and putting it up again.

Cui Ying looked at herself in the bronze mirror, took the hands of Shen Huajiao and Xie Weixing, and smiled without saying a word.

Although today is the wedding of the Emperor and Empress, Chu Yan only needs to wait for Cui Ying in the ancestral hall, and then complete all the wedding ceremonies according to the royal rules.

It’s just that Chu Yan seemed to be particularly fond of folk customs and insisted on parading through the streets with ceremonial guards.

So the etiquette has naturally changed.

Outside the Marquis' Mansion, Cui Xu and Xiao Fengan were blocking the door, looking at Chu Yan who was dressed in red. He seldom wore such bright colors.

It is said that people feel refreshed when they are happy. Now that he is wearing such clothes, his appearance becomes even more stunning.

Cheng Chong and Ying Dong had already drunk countless amounts of wine for Chu Yan, but they didn't let the two people blocking the door move aside at all.

Chu Yan was in a good mood today, so he asked people to scatter a handful of copper coins, and while everyone was picking up the coins, he sneaked in.

"Yingying."

"His Majesty?!"

Just as Xie Weixing was about to cover Cui Ying with the veil, she saw Chu Yan. She called out, and Chu Yan picked her up. "Yingying is more beautiful today than the peach blossoms in the East Palace."

He asked Xie Weixing to cover her with a veil and said with a smile, Cui Ying grabbed his clothes, tilted her head and replied to him: "Huai Wei looks good today too."

Chu Yan's smile deepened, and he led his people out from the main gate. The ten-mile-long street was covered with a red carpet, and handfuls of candies and copper coins were distributed, receiving blessings from the people of the city.

They said that the Queen is as kind as a Bodhisattva and as beautiful as a fairy, and that she and Your Majesty will surely live happily ever after.

After the ceremonial procession circled the city, the sun gradually set and it turned into dusk. In the ancestral hall, Cao Ye and all the civil and military officials had been waiting for a long time.

The ceremonial officer who presided over the wedding was the same one who presided over the tablet of Cui Ying last time when Chu Yan married her, but this time, his face was full of smiles, without the repressed look as last time.

As the witness of the two people's wedding, Cao Ye was dressed particularly solemnly today. Although he was old, he was very energetic.

He thought that if the teacher were still alive, he would definitely be very happy to see Chu Yan getting married today.

Chu Yan held Cui Ying's hand and walked up to the platform step by step. He listened to the ceremonial officer's singing and worshipped heaven and earth with her. After the ceremonial officer finished his last sentence, Cui Ying suddenly lifted her veil.

Everyone present was stunned when they saw this scene, and then they saw her take a few steps towards Chu Yan. She whispered, "Since it's a happy event, I have one more thing I want to tell Huai Wei."

Chu Yan was stunned for a moment, then she spoke slowly: "Caizhuer is a little lonely, so..."

Before she finished speaking, Chu Yan already understood. He looked at her belly with a look of surprise on his face. Then, everyone saw him pick up Cui Ying.

"This kid really knows how to pick the right time. Now, I have to wait another year for my wedding night."

“This is called double happiness!”

Cui Ying corrected him with a blushing face, and Chu Yan nodded: "Yingying is right."

Although he still misses his wedding night.

As for when the child was discovered, it was probably that night when she accompanied Chu Yan in the Zichen Hall to review memorials. She didn't know whether it was because the floor heating in the hall was burning too strongly or the rice wine she drank at night was too intoxicating.

Somehow, the two of them got closer and closer, and then she found that her period was late, and after taking her pulse, she found that the baby was already more than a month old.

He is truly the destined child.

Not long after the wedding, Xie Weixing became pregnant. Chu Yan even asked Xiao Fengan to stay at home with Xie Weixing, but Xie Weixing was a doctor herself, and she disliked Xiao Fengan for being clumsy.

A year after their marriage, Cui Ying and Chu Yan's two children were born one after another. Chu Yuanxi was the second son. It was just dawn when he was born. As he cried, the sun gradually rose.

Xi represents dawn and sunrise, and also carries Chu Yan’s hope for him.

However, Chu Yan did not want children later on, and he even went to the doctor to ask for male contraceptive drugs. Unexpectedly, his second son, Chu Yuanjia, was born under such circumstances.

He was a little depressed and a little angry, so he simply used the sterilizing drug. To him, the child was not important, he just wanted to be with Cui Ying.

The two brothers Chu Yuanxi and Chu Yuanjia have completely different personalities as they grow older.

There is no need to say more about the eldest daughter, Caizhuer, also known as Chu Yuanyi.

Even Chu Yan couldn't handle her temper, but Chu Yan said that he owed Yuan Yi for not taking care of Cui Ying when she was pregnant, and Yuan Yi missed a lot of growth in the process.

Therefore, he has always been very doting on Yuanyi.

On the contrary, he was strict with his two sons.
