Taking the initiative to remarry! The crazy prince is obsessed with me

After the welcoming ceremony, a palace banquet was held in the Yancheng Palace.

Emperor You'an felt that this wedding was really to his liking, so he toasted with his ministers and was extremely happy. However, as he was old, he drank a few glasses of wine and finally could not hold back and returned to the palace first.

Murong Xuan then took Shen Xiyue to the back hall to meet Queen Qin.

Queen Qin was less than forty years old, with a cool and indifferent look between her brows. Because she was away from the palace for most of the year, she had no trivial matters to worry about, and looked even younger.

Shen Xiyue heard from her mother that Emperor You'an wanted to marry a girl from the Qin family, but the Qin family did not have a daughter of the right age at the time, so they waited until Empress Qin grew up before asking for an imperial decree to marry her as his principal wife.

When Queen Qin entered the palace, it was Concubine Qi who doted on her the most. Emperor You'an only consummated his marriage with Queen Qin on their wedding night and never went to her courtyard again after that.

And it was during this time that Queen Qin gave birth to the fifth prince Murong Xuan.

As soon as he saw Queen Qin, he was no longer the steady, dignified and at ease prince. He rushed into the house, threw himself in front of Queen Qin, half-knelt on his knees, looked up and called out "Mother", then hugged Queen Qin and burst into tears.

Queen Qin reached out to pull Murong Xuan up, but failed after several attempts. She wanted to speak, but her lips were trembling and she couldn't utter a word. She could only pat his back gently and let him cry loudly.

"Okay, you're already an adult, and you're still crying even though you've gotten married? Aren't you afraid that Xiyue will laugh at you?" It took Queen Qin a while to find her voice again. She tried to persuade Murong Xuan with a mixture of sadness and laughter, and reached out to pull him. Murong Xuan finally stood up.

"Your Majesty, His Highness misses you." Shen Xiyue also wanted to laugh and cry at the same time.

Queen Qin raised her hand to wipe away her tears, looked at Shen Xiyue with a smile, and waved at her: "Good child, I have heard Xuan'er talk about you many times. Come here and let me see you."

"Yes." Shen Xiyue took a few steps forward obediently.

Queen Qin was very straightforward. She reached out and took Shen Xiyue's hand, looking at her as if she couldn't get enough of her. "Good child, you are such a good child. I feel relieved to have you accompany Xuan'er. Are you willing...are you willing to follow Xuan'er in calling me mother?"

After hearing this, Shen Xiyue felt tears in her eyes and knelt down quickly. Murong Xuan also knelt beside her. The maid Su Xin brought the teacup. Shen Xiyue offered the tea to Queen Qin and said, "Mother, please have some tea."

"Oh, good, good!" Queen Qin took the tea, took a sip, put it down, and hurriedly helped Shen Xiyue up. She took off a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets from her wrists and put them on Shen Xiyue's hands. She sighed with tears and laughter: "According to the rules, I should have this bowl of daughter-in-law tea tomorrow. It's really..."

"Mother, we as a family don't talk about these things." Shen Xiyue quickly took over the conversation. She really felt sorry for Murong Xuan and Queen Qin, the mother and son.

Murong Xuan grinned: "Mother, what do you think of my son's vision?"

"Child, your mother just wanted to tell you that you should never show your joy on your face." Queen Qin said in a low voice.

"Mother, it's just you and Xiyue here." Murong Xuan had his own reasons.

Queen Qin sighed, feeling a pang of bitterness in her heart. She knew very well how her son endured his life in the capital. Since there was no one else in the room, she let him relax for a while.

Murong Xuan continued, "Mother, I am gradually changing the situation in the court. The eldest son has gone to the fiefdom of Jingchu, and the fourth son is struggling. The Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War are all people arranged by me. Even the emperor feels guilty and loving towards me... Don't worry, I will definitely take you back in a few days."

Queen Qin listened carefully, slowly leaned back on the cushion, and looked at the couple in front of her. The seed of hope in her heart no longer had to worry about anything, and could now take root and sprout unscrupulously.

She nodded with satisfaction, knowing that her son would eventually grow from a seed into a towering tree.

"Silly child, your mother has come through all these years, why should you worry about this? Your heart is so strong that your mother is already very happy." Queen Qin chuckled and said, "The capital is in turmoil, and Lord Shen and Madam Shen only have Xiyue as their daughter. In the future, the most important thing is that you take care of yourself and Xiyue."

"Your son knows." Upon hearing what Queen Qin said, Murong Xuan immediately became serious.

After a while longer conversation, the sun began to set, the noise at the banquet gradually died down, and the guests set off for Beijing one after another.

Queen Qin reluctantly told the two of them, "Well, it's getting late, you should go back. I am very happy to see you get married today and hear Xiyue call me mother."

"Yes, mother, we will come to see you another day."

When returning to the city, Shen Xiyue and Murong Xuan no longer rode in the parade float, but instead changed to a horse-drawn carriage.

Unlike others who were in a hurry to return home, Murong Xuan was very reluctant to leave, so he fell behind everyone else.

The sound of horse hooves outside the carriage gradually became monotonous. Shen Xiyue had been tired all day and couldn't help but feel drowsy again.

Murong Xuan also closed his eyes, half asleep.

In the distance, a dull thunder suddenly sounded, and a moment later, dense raindrops hit the roof of the car, making crackling sounds.

It's raining.

Murong Xuan sat up, lifted the car window curtain and looked out. The heavy spring rain was still a bit chilly, pouring down like a torrent, and the car was moving much slower than before.

The carriage suddenly stopped. Shen Xiyue was shocked and suddenly felt a tightness in her chest. She looked up and exchanged a glance with Murong Xuan. They both saw something bad in each other's eyes.

Then, Mao Ping's nervous voice came from outside: "Your Highness, the car broke down!"

Amid the sound of heavy rain, Shen Xiyue suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood, and then she heard the slight creaking sound of the knife cutting into flesh and bone.

Then there were shouts all around: "There's an assassin!"

Murong Xuan narrowed his eyes, held her hand tightly with one hand, and snapped the car window shut with the other hand.

Almost at the same time, the car shook violently and someone jumped onto the roof.

The clanging sound of swords clashing was even louder than the sound of rain.

"Don't be afraid. They are just a few petty thieves." Murong Xuan gave Shen Xiyue a soothing look and said, "Stay in the carriage and don't move."

Then he snatched the sword from the carriage, kicked the door open, jumped out, and told Mao Ping: "Protect the Crown Princess."

"Yes!"

During the fight, a fast horse came roaring from the direction of the palace, and Murong Xuan saw Queen Qin again in the heavy rain.

"Mother, go back!" Murong Xuan looked at Queen Qin, frowned, and shouted nervously.

In response to him, Queen Qin raised her sword and chopped off the head of the man in black.
