Chapter 71

The man put his slender hands on the girl's lower back and began to feel that three months was a bit too long.

They should have gotten married earlier so that he could better protect her in his arms.

At least, she would not have to experience the experience of having her room broken into at night by a thug again.

…………

Not only Pei Yuqing had the idea of ​​getting married early, his mother was even more eager.

The eldest son finally agreed to get married, and his long-cherished wish was about to come true. The moment Princess Duanyang received the news, she became impatient to start making arrangements.

Within two days, she prepared generous gifts and knocked on the door of Marquis Xuanping's mansion with her husband.

Having informed in advance, Xie Shu and Zheng were well prepared this time, and were not at a loss as they were when Pei Yuqing came to their house that day.

The vermilion main door opened wide and the couple greeted them solemnly.

I entered in the morning and came out at dusk.

Princess Duanyang's cheeks were slightly drunk, and she was supported by her husband with unsteady steps. She did not forget to say something to Zheng from time to time. The two ladies were laughing and talking, and their attitudes were very close and enthusiastic.

It was clear that both the host and the guests were enjoying themselves.

On the second day, Princess Duanyang came again. This time, Duke Pei did not come with her. However, she stayed at Xie's house for the whole day as usual, and only returned home at dusk with a smile on her face.

On the third day, Princess Duanyang continued to visit as usual, with a big smile on her face. Her attitude was not as arrogant as a royal daughter, but rather showed a hint of hospitality.

This situation allowed some discerning people to guess some clues.

Some people who were familiar with the two families came to inquire about the news.

Soon, the news that the Pei and Xie families were discussing marriage spread like wildfire.

Zheng was also exhausted. On the night of the third day when the noble princess came to visit, she complained to her husband, "The princess is so humble that she came to visit us for three consecutive days just to set the wedding date for our two children."

But every time she greeted you with a smile, and discussed things with you in a nice tone, without showing any royal majesty. Zheng couldn't refuse outright, so she could only say tactfully that marriage was a lifelong event after all, and it shouldn't be decided too hastily.

As a result, perhaps because her attitude was not strong enough, Princess Duanyang became more and more courageous and repeatedly came to the door just for this matter...

Xie Shu stroked his beard and smiled when he heard this. He was quite magnanimous and did not get angry. Instead, he comforted his wife, "Madam, don't be upset. This just shows that the Pei family values ​​our Wanwan."

Zheng had already let her hair down and was gathering it to her chest, combing it slowly with a jade comb. After hearing this, she raised her eyes and glanced at her husband, saying angrily, "How could I not know this? I'm not annoyed, but the Pei family is too impatient."

Raising a daughter is like raising flowers. It takes a lot of careful care and effort to grow her into her current graceful appearance. Although Zheng had already made preparations to marry her daughter off, it was too soon after all.

Xie Shu was naturally reluctant to see his young daughter get married, otherwise he would not have been so angry when Pei Yuqing came to visit him a few days ago.

But he is a man after all, more rational and not as delicate emotionally.

He smiled and said, "It's no wonder that the Pei family is anxious. If Yan'er had taken a fancy to a girl from another family, I'm afraid that as a mother, you wouldn't be in a good mood either."

This makes sense. Their family also has a son who is in his twenties and still refuses to get married. They have never felt the same way.

Anyway, I have already agreed to marry my daughter off, so it doesn’t matter if it’s a month earlier or later.

Thinking of this, Zheng said sadly: "If that's the case, then I'll accept it?"

The marriage of children was originally decided by the lady in the inner house, and Xie Shu nodded without objection.

He took the jade comb from his wife's hand, casually placed it on the dressing table, and said with a smile: "It's late at night, it's time to put it down."

...When Princess Duanyang came again on the fourth day, the Xie family finally agreed to the request to complete the marriage within three months.

As soon as these words were spoken, Princess Duanyang was overjoyed. Her well-maintained face was wrinkled with smiles, and her face was flushed as she said hello several times.

After she calmed down from her joy, she thought that her future in-laws only had one daughter, and that she might feel unhappy if they married her off in such a hurry.

Thinking of this, Princess Duanyang paused for a moment and said, "Master Yuankong from the Huguo Temple happens to be in the capital. I will ask him to look at the birth dates of the two children and calculate an auspicious date."

Originally, with her status, she could have asked the Imperial Observatory to calculate an auspicious date for her eldest son's wedding, but that might take some time, and she was eager to find a wife, so she really couldn't wait.

Master Yuankong was a famous monk in the capital, so Zheng had no objection to finding him to arrange a date.

Seeing her satisfied expression, Princess Duanyang said, "When the date is right, I will ask the emperor to issue an imperial decree to grant the marriage."

Zheng looked slightly stunned.

"Don't worry," Princess Duanyang said with a smile, "I only have one son, and I can't treat the girl he likes lightly no matter what. The rush of the wedding date has already wronged your daughter, and she must not be deprived of the proper dignity."

Although there are many noble ladies in the capital, few of them have the honor of having their marriage granted by the emperor himself.

After these words were spoken, the last bit of knot in Zheng's heart completely disappeared.

...With the imperial edict, even if Wanwan broke off the engagement and turned to marry someone else from a rich family not long after, no one would dare to have any malicious assumptions no matter how urgent the wedding date was.

…………

While the elders were busy with their work, the two parties involved were living an almost isolated life in a villa in the suburbs.

Every day, they either meet up to fish by the lake, or burn incense, brew tea, and play the piano together.

During the first two days, Xie Ruyu followed around like a little tail, but after Liu learned that her eldest daughter was discussing marriage with the prince of the Duke of Pei, and that both of them were in a villa outside the capital, she sent her personal nanny to take her daughter back that very day.

Xie Ruyu was quite reluctant and muttered to herself, not wanting to leave.

Although she knew in her heart that it would be inappropriate for her, as her cousin, to follow her cousin as she developed a relationship with her future husband.

Xie Wan Ning now had a very good relationship with this little cousin. Seeing this, she smiled and coaxed her: "I will stay for a few more days, and I will be back to Beijing soon. I will play with you then."

Xie Ruyu snorted and said, "Are you willing to leave your Prince Pei behind to play with me?"

She was always upset about the fact that her cousin had got engaged to someone right under her nose and without telling her.

"Of course I am willing to say that."

Xie Wan Ning had already figured out her cousin's sharp-tongued and arrogant personality. Upon hearing this, she showed an expression of "what's a man?" and continued to coax her, "He is not as important as our Ru Niang."

"That's better." Xie Ruyu was so delighted by her coaxing that she got on the carriage happily.

Looking at the carriage going further and further away, Xie Wan Ning withdrew his gaze and turned to go back home, only to see a green figure standing not far away, looking at him with an unclear expression.
