Before dinner, Shen Huaiyan kept his appointment and returned to the princess mansion, changed into neat clothes and waited to go with Wen Yuan.
While dressing up, Wen Yuan called Xiao Jiu, "Have you and your sister Chunhua gotten to know everything in the house today?"
"We are familiar with each other. Xiaojiu and Sister Chunhua have learned a lot. Sister Chunhua treats Xiaojiu very well and even asks Xiaojiu to help take care of the princess's garden in the future!"
Every time the garden was mentioned, Xiaojiu seemed very excited, which Wen Yuan could see, "Do you like those magnolias very much?"
"I like it!" Xiao Jiu's excited face without hesitation surprised Wen Yuan. "Those flowers bloomed beautifully. It reminded Xiao Jiu of a sea of flowers he had accidentally seen. They were also so white and flawless."
Qiuyue retorted with disdain: "How can the flowers of the countryside compare with the magnolia given by the late emperor?"
"The princess's magnolia flower is a gift from heaven; the sea of flowers that Xiaojiu saw is also a gift from the earth, how can it be compared to it." Now the spring flowers and the autumn moon are like water and fire, competing with each other.
Wen Yuan was too lazy to care about the grievances between them, "Then you and Chunhua should learn from each other and take care of those flowers with her and your sister Zi Ling in the future. They are all my treasures."
This was Wen Yuan's approval, which made Qiu Yue even more dissatisfied. She was obviously the old man in this mansion and had served as long as Chun Hua, so why couldn't she enter the garden!
"Princess Hairpin This is a red gold hairpin. It looks luxurious and complements the look of a princess."
Qiuyue picked up the hairpin and measured it on Wen Yuan's head when she saw Wen Yuan frowning slightly.
Xiaojiu has a straightforward temper and does not understand so many twists and turns. She thinks the hairpin is not good-looking, so she will not give Qiuyue face, so she immediately takes off the gold hairpin inserted in her bun.
"It doesn't look good at all. The princess is dressed plainly today, but using a gold hairpin makes it look tacky. This wooden hairpin is good, simple and elegant." After saying that, he quickly put the hairpin on Wen Yuan.
She offended Qiuyue as soon as she came. Xiaojiu's life in the princess mansion would not be easy, but she couldn't help but Wen Yuan and Chunhua both liked her, and this hairpin was exactly what she said, and it matched this plain dress better. skirt.
When Shen Huaiyan saw someone coming out, he immediately came forward, "Yuan Yuan really has a connection with me."
After speaking, the man leaned down slightly and pointed to the top of his head. Unexpectedly, he also used a wooden hairpin today, and it was made of the same elm wood as Wen Yuan's.
There were many people in Prince Dingnan's palace today, including Wen Yuan's elder brothers and younger brothers. As soon as Wen Ji saw his sister, he couldn't wait to step forward and talk about his depression when he didn't see her.
"You still know how to come back." Mrs. Wen has always been hard-spoken and soft-hearted. She was worried all day long when Wen Yuan was not in the house, but now she said such cruel words when she saw him.
How can a child not know what his parents think? Wen Yuan obediently stepped forward and hugged his mother, "Here are A Yuan's brothers and parents, and everything A Yuan cares about. How could my daughter be reluctant to come back? Mother, please don't be angry. Ah Yuan is back, isn’t he..."
He talks as much as he talks, and shakes his mother's arm from time to time to act coquettishly. Mrs. Wen, who loves Wen Yuan the most, can't stand this, even if she has lost her temper.
"It's good to come back, so that your mother won't have to worry about you all day long. You've been away for more than half a year. Do you have any anecdotes to share with our family?"
During the days when Wen Yuan ran away from home, Mrs. Wen finally figured out that children and grandchildren are blessed with children and grandchildren. As parents, they can only make suggestions but cannot control them, so their attitude towards Shen Huaiyan has softened now, but She was also angry that he took his daughter away without permission.
"We will all be a family in the future, so don't be so restrained."
"Yuan Yuan looks a lot thinner, but the journey was not smooth?" King Dingnan's eyes were full of heartache, "Or maybe the people around you didn't take care of you properly?"
When he said this, King Dingnan clearly looked at Shen Huaiyan with dissatisfaction on his face, but he remembered that his daughter was not this sick when she was in the capital.
Seeing that something was wrong, Wen Yuan grabbed her father's arm again, "My daughter didn't dare to lie to her father. During the trip, Yuan Yuan was assassinated by a gangster, and she almost became disabled. Fortunately, she worked tirelessly to find an antidote for her daughter. Thanks to I asked Chunhua and another friend to take care of her. Otherwise, the father would not be able to see his daughter today..."
She shed tears at the emotional point, which made her family feel very distressed. After hearing these words, King Dingnan's attitude toward Shen Huaiyan became much warmer, "Thanks to Huaiyan for this."
"Yes, yes, the eldest brother was frightened to hear that. Fortunately, Mr. Shen is here. Mr. Shen is now a nobleman of our Dingnan Palace." Wen Xi loves his younger brothers and sisters, and now he probably regards Shen Huaiyan as his wife because of this incident. Lost his own family.
After dinner, King Dingnan took Shen Huaiyan away, and Mrs. Wen also insisted on taking Wen Yuan for a walk in the back garden, "Ah Yuan, mother knows your thoughts, and she also wants to understand these days when you are gone. No one can complete your future for you, so your mother will no longer hinder your marriage. Now that you are older, everything is up to you."
"Thank you, mother, for your understanding. Ayuan made a mistake this time and shouldn't have run away from home, but mother... Huaiyan is really good. He understands me, respects me, and loves me. We will definitely be happy in the future, just like you Same as dad.”
Nothing in this world is absolute, everything will change, but what it will become is unknown.
Mrs. Wen hugged her daughter and patted her back gently, "You are old, and your parents cannot accompany you for the rest of your life. I just hope that your children can find someone to spend their lives with. Fortunately, you will not have any parents-in-law after you enter the house. You are the only mistress in the house, so there will be less trouble."
In the study, Prince Dingnan and Shen Huaiyan chatted about some interesting stories from Wen Yuan's childhood, "Although my daughter has been pampered since childhood, she is really outstanding. The day she got hairpins, the threshold of Prince Dingnan's palace was almost crossed."
"A woman as elegant and refined as A Yuan is naturally yearned for by gentlemen, and juniors are no exception." Speaking of Wen Yuan, Shen Huaiyan couldn't hide the smile on his face.
From this, King Dingnan could also see the depth of his love for his daughter, but as a father, he still had too many things to worry about. "Yuan Yuan has never suffered hardship since she was a child. When the late emperor was here, he held her in high esteem. The love in my hand, many princes and princesses are more favored than Yuanyuan."
"The current Holy Emperor is also Yuanyuan's biological uncle. When it comes to it, it is Mr. Shen who has always favored our Dingnan Palace." He tried to use such words to anger Shen Huaiyan.
But Shen Huaiyan didn't feel that he was insulted. This was the fact, "A Yuan's appearance as a celestial being and his family background are beyond the reach of the younger generation. It is natural that the younger generation has surpassed A Yuan."
"Then you are still chasing my daughter. Doesn't she deserve a better son from a noble family?"
"If A Yuan is ruthless to the junior, the junior will not let him go." Doesn't this mean that they are in love with each other and cannot be separated by others.
King Dingnan snorted, "Yuanyuan likes you, and your parents won't stop you. But if one day your love fades due to sex, or if you do something unfaithful to my daughter, you will definitely know about this king." means."
"I'm afraid this junior will never know the way the prince treats his merciless son-in-law." Shen Huaiyan played the last piece during the chess game between the two, "It seems that the prince lost this game of chess to this junior by half a piece. "
"It's been a long time since I saw someone who can win my chess game. Shen Huaiyan, Shen Huaiyan, you are very good." King Dingnan laughed and left the study, telling his wife about their conversation.
On the way back to the princess mansion, Shen Huaiyan also told Wen Yuan what he had said to King Dingnan in the study.
He also took out something that Wen Yuan didn't expect, "This knife was a gift from the late emperor when my father was twenty years old and crowned king. My father actually gave all his treasures to you?!"
Although he was shocked, Wen Yuan was more happy, "It seems that my father has recognized you, which is great."
"Yes, it's a blessing to be blessed by our elders. It's great." Shen Huaiyan took Wen Yuan's hands and stared at Wen Yuan with a pair of eyes filled with stars.
The two looked at each other affectionately, and Wen Yuan only felt that the time was peaceful. It would be great if they could always be so leisurely and comfortable.
Beside the bed, King Dingnan mentioned his knife when he was washing Mrs. Wen's feet. "Madam, do you still remember the short knife that your father gave me before?"
"Remember, it was a gift from the late emperor when you were twenty years old. Why did you suddenly mention it today?"
The man wiped the water stains from his wife's feet, ordered the water to be poured out, and then sat next to Mrs. Wen, "I gave him to Shen Huaiyan for my husband."
His tone was relaxed, as if he didn't care about the short knife. Mrs. Wen saw his reluctance.
Back then, the late emperor's favorite husband was his heir apparent, but he wanted a happy and free life and did not want to be tied down in the palace.
After so many years, every time he thought of the late emperor, he would always take out this short knife and feel sad secretly, "I believe in A Yuan's vision, and I also believe in my husband's."
The couple looked at each other and smiled, "Yes, my husband has always had good taste. Otherwise, why would I have been so impatient to propose marriage when you were still young?"
King Dingnan and the princess were childhood sweethearts and had been in love all their lives. She was the only mistress in the house. When they proposed marriage, they swore by their ancestors that they would never take concubines in their lives.
Therefore, the children in the family were also influenced by him and felt that it was best to have someone they loved by their side, and they were unwilling to make do with it. As a result, the eldest son, Wen Xi, was already in his mid-twenties and still refused to marry a wife.
Fortunately, his parents didn't force him, they just followed his pleasure.
"Now it's time to think about our daughter's dowry. We, Yuanyuan, will definitely be glorious when we get married." He decided that when King Nan's daughter gets married, even ten miles of red dowry will not be enough. When the time comes, we must give this world's rare treasures All the treasures were stuffed into her princess mansion.
At night, after Wen Yuan went to bed, Chi Zhaoyue went to the princess mansion to have a drink with Shen Huaiyan. The two grown men actually discussed what kind of betrothal gift they should give.
Although Shen Huaiyan regards money as dirt, he has always had the habit of collecting treasures in order to be able to marry Wen Yuan in his life. No, he finally got what he wanted in this life.
"If you really have a plan, I will also help you." The two of them are brothers and will not let their brother fall into the blame.
