"Your fourth sister?" Yi'er was shocked. He had heard from Mianmian that the person getting engaged today was Cheng Wan'er. How could he become her fourth sister now?
Cheng Wan'er explained: "My parents originally wanted me to marry Mr. You, but they never thought that my fourth sister had been secretly in love with Mr. You for a long time. She was afraid that her parents would blame her, so she came to beg me overnight and wanted me. I don’t like Master You to fulfill her, so naturally I would rather fulfill my fourth sister’s wish, so I told my father and mother about this matter. I also asked the Queen Mother for an imperial edict. No, it’s Master You and my fourth sister today. The date of engagement.”
Yi'er suddenly realized that his mother and Mianmian had known about this for a long time.
They deliberately didn't say anything, just to let themselves express what was on their mind.
He shook his head and laughed. His mother and sister were still more powerful.
Yi'er held Cheng Wan'er's hand and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go back home quickly. Your fourth sister is engaged. Of course you can't be absent. Let's go!"
After he finished speaking, he ordered the coachman to turn the carriage around and return to Cheng Mansion. ?.?????.???
When he arrived at the gate of Cheng Mansion, Yi'er did not enter the house. After sending Cheng Wan'er back, he immediately returned to the palace.
Du Wanchun and Mianmian were sitting in the room drinking tea when they heard Yi'er's voice in the distance.
"Mianmian, mother!"
Du Wanchun ate the fruit and snickered: "Look, your eldest brother has come back from a wedding robbery."
Mianmian also snickered and said, "It looks like a great success."
Yi'er walked up to them and took the fruit from Mianmian's hand, "It seems that you and mother really knew this a long time ago."
Mianmian raised her head and smiled: "Brother, my mother and I are not to blame for this matter. My mother and I asked you several times a few days ago, but you didn't tell the truth."
"If you hadn't thought that Sister Wan'er was going to marry someone else today, I'm afraid you would still be stubborn."
Yi'er has always doted on her, and Mianmian did this for his own good, so he didn't blame her. He bowed to Du Wanchun and said, "Mom, I will choose the crown princess in the future..."
Before he finished speaking, Du Wanchun said with a smile: "Why choose the Crown Princess rather than the Princess Concubine? Isn't there already a candidate for the Crown Princess? Then there is no need to choose again."
"Dad and I just need to prepare for your marriage with peace of mind."
Yi'er was very happy after hearing this, and bowed to Du Wanchun again, "Thank you, mother."
Du Wanchun was really not used to his politeness, so he deliberately teased him: "How about a robbery marriage today?"
Yi'er smiled and said, "Of course I scared her, but don't worry, stepmother, I won't do such reckless things again."
Du Wanchun nodded.
She breathed a sigh of relief as her son and daughter became more sensible day by day.
Yi'er's marriage was settled, and Zhou Ruiyuan was also very happy.
The two discussed that they must give them a grand wedding.
At night, she and Zhou Ruiyuan chatted until very late, and it was already dark.
"Rui Yuan, it's better to go to bed early." Du Wanchun stood up slowly, came behind him and combed his hair.
Most of Zhou Ruiyuan's hair was combed by Du Wanchun.
He never arranges a palace maid to serve him, at most it is Eunuch Zhang.
When Du Wanchun was combing Zhou Ruiyuan's hair, she accidentally found a white hair. She was shocked, "Ruiyuan, why do you have white hair?"
Zhou Ruiyuan and Du Wanchun are only in their thirties now, and have not yet reached the age of gray hair.
Moreover, even though Du Wanchun is now in her thirties, her appearance is exactly the same as when she was eighteen years old. She has not aged like ordinary people.
But Zhou Ruiyuan is different.
Zhou Ruiyuan looked back at the white hair in her hand, and was startled. He said slowly: "Maybe it's because I'm too tired during this period. I'll ask Eunuch Zhang to send someone to cook some nourishing soup for me to drink tomorrow."
Du Wanchun nodded. She looked carefully at Zhou Ruiyuan's face. Apart from being more mature and steady than when he was young, there was no sign of aging. It seemed that it was just due to fatigue.
The next day, Zhou Ruiyuan did not wait for instructions to Eunuch Zhang.
Du Wanchun had already arrived at Zhou Ruiyuan's palace with a nourishing soup.
Zhou Ruiyuan was frowning as he watched, his brows furrowed.
Du Wanchun asked: "Why is Ruiyuan looking so sad?"
When Zhou Ruiyuan saw her coming, he immediately wiped away the fatigue on his face, stood up and said, "Some trivial matters in court are not worth mentioning."
As he finished speaking, he accidentally knocked over a letter.
He hadn't had time to read the letter yet.
Du Wanchun also happened to see it. She lowered her head and saw Wei Qing's name written on it.
She bent down and slowly picked up the letter, "Is there a letter from Xiao Qing'er?"
Zhou Ruiyuan replied: "I just sent it, I haven't had time to see it."
Du Wanchun slowly opened the letter.
In the letter, Xiao Qing'er first greeted Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan, then talked about the affairs of Nanyi, and finally mentioned Mianmian.
He said that he would come to the capital to visit Mianmian in a month.
Du Wanchun raised his head and looked at Zhou Ruiyuan.
"He's coming."
Zhou Ruiyuan was not surprised, "This kid has been thinking about Mianmian for a long time. Now that Mianmian is about to get haircut, he is naturally very worried."
Mianmian is relatively close to Nanyi Proton, and everyone in Xuanyue Kingdom knows about it.
Naturally, Xiao Qing'er couldn't sit still. Beauty Qiao had been sending him messages over the years.
Although the letter specifically concealed this matter, Xiao Qing'er still found out about it from other places.
Du Wanchun said slowly: "He is worried too much."
