The ancient martial arts master traveled through time

In the palace:

Ruan Xiaojiu and Ruan Siqi finished their meal and went to the palace. In the Yangxin Palace, Ruan Junan sat in the upper seat, with Ruan Xiaojiu and Ruan Siqi sitting below him.

"Brother, I want to formally marry Siqi as my concubine. I will give her a grand wedding." Ruan Xiaojiu took Ruan Siqi's hand and looked at Ruan Jun'an proudly.

Ruan Jun'an was stunned for a moment, then smiled, happy for the two. "I thought you wanted to let your uncle live with you in the palace without any official status. You two can finally be considered a couple, Xiaojiu. Congratulations on getting your wish. Don't let your uncle down in the future."

"of course."

"It's not easy for my uncle to follow you in such an awkward position. Please don't make me sad. If I leave you in the end, you will cry."

Ruan Xiaojiu felt a pang of pain in his heart when he thought of that scene. He turned around, pulled Ruan Siqi's sleeve and said, "Siqi, I will treat you well. You won't leave me, right?"

Ruan Siqi covered Ruan Xiaojiu's small hand with her big hand and said lovingly, "Of course, no matter how Xiaojiu treats me in the future, I will always be by your side and never leave you."

Ruan Xiaojiu was relieved, but she secretly promised in her heart that she would treat Ruan Siqi well in the future. Ruan Siqi leaving? Impossible, she would never let such a thing happen.

Ruan Jun'an just smiled and said nothing. He couldn't help but feel delighted at the sight of the loving couple before him. He was the first person to know that Xiaojiu had feelings for Xiaoshu. At the time, he didn't think the two of them could have any future. Forcing them to be together would only lead to rumors and gossip, which would put them in a dilemma. It was a miracle that they had managed to develop to this point.

Although Ruan Siqi was his uncle and Ruan Xiaojiu was his sister, they were not related by blood, so there was no question of confusing the generations. Who could interfere with a matter of mutual consent? As long as Xiaojiu was willing and he was in charge, who would dare to say anything against it?

Seeing Ruan Siqi's ears flushed and she lowered her head, she looked a little unnatural. After all, the relationship between the three of them was that of elders and uncles. Facing two of his former juniors discussing his marriage in front of him, and marrying Xiaojiu as a princess, he felt a little embarrassed. He simply picked up the teacup and pretended to drink tea to cover up his embarrassment.

Ruan Jun'an thought of his grandfather and asked, "Xiaojiu, have you told him about this?" His voice was as soft as a mosquito, tentative and cautious. He knew that it was his grandfather who arranged the marriage between his uncle and Zidan, and that this incident had made Xiaojiu dissatisfied with him. He didn't dare to persuade him too deeply, for fear of backfire.

"No, I don't need anyone's opinion on my marriage, nor do I need him to interfere." Ruan Xiaojiu took a sip of tea and curled his lips. "Of course, I will have someone notify him on the day of the wedding. Whether he comes or not is not my concern."

Ruan Siqi was listening nearby. When he heard Ruan Jun'an mention Ruan Guolong, he frowned, put down his teacup, and said, "Xiaojiu, tell father! After all, he is your grandfather and my father as well. This is a sign of respect for him."

Although he had many complaints about Ruan Guolong because of the marriage, he was grateful to him for raising him for so many years. He and Ruan Guolong didn't have a good relationship now, and he always felt that there was a layer of separation in his heart, but this was normal. He hoped that he would get used to it slowly in the future, he consoled himself.

Ruan Xiaojiu noticed Ruan Siqi's emotions, turned to look at him, his eyes full of tenderness, "Siqi, you don't have to worry about anything, just live a good life and be yourself. From now on, you are my concubine, and anyone who betrays you is my enemy. I will never allow anyone to bully or covet you." The domineering words touched Ruan Siqi.

Ruan Siqi raised his head and met Ruan Xiaojiu's eyes. As their eyes met, Ruan Siqi was deeply moved. It seemed that as long as he had Ruan Xiaojiu, he would have everything. As long as she was there, he really didn't have to worry about anything.

Ruan Jun'an saw the two of them looking at each other in a lingering affectionate gaze, and he was almost jealous. So he coughed and said, "As for whether you want to inform Grandpa, I won't get involved. The 18th of next month is a good date for marriage. If you don't mind, we can set it on that day. What do you think?"

Ruan Xiaojiu thought for a moment and looked at Ruan Siqi, "Is there no closer date?"

Ruan Jun'an smiled. He had never expected such a cold sister to be so anxious about her uncle becoming her princess. He teased, "Look how anxious you are. If you want a grand ceremony, it will inevitably take a long time, unless you want to keep it simple."

"No, that won't work. Let's do as you say. I have no objection." Ruan Xiaojiu leaned back and agreed reluctantly. She had already started eating meat, so she would just wait.

Ruan Jun'an looked at Ruan Siqi again, "Uncle, how do you feel about that day?"

"I have no objection. You can arrange it." After saying that, Ruan Siqi continued to drink the tea in his hand. He didn't want to discuss this topic with the two of them. He just wanted to be invisible.

Ruan Xiaojiu noticed Ruan Siqi's discomfort and said, "Just make the decision. Try to make it as grand and as good as possible. If you don't have money, you can come to the palace and withdraw it."

Ruan Jun'an naturally wouldn't be polite, but he couldn't show it too obviously, so he just smiled and said nothing. "Alright, seeing you two so affectionate, I'm relieved. Tomorrow I'll order the Ministry of Rites to start drafting the gift list. If you have nothing to do, go back. The palace gates will be locked soon, and it will be difficult to get out."

"Then leave everything to me." After saying that, Ruan Xiaojiu pulled Ruan Siqi up and left the palace.
