The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?
Chapter 106 One life, one pair
After sitting and talking for a while, Mu Xiyue was about to go to the palace with Xiao Yibai, so she said to Tan Tai Hong, "Brother Hong, I'm going to visit his manor in the next two days. How long will you stay in the capital this time?"
Tan Taihong took out a box from his arms and threw it on the table. "I'm going back to Luofeng today. This is the gift I brought you from my trip a while ago. Have you two set a date for your wedding? I'll make time to come and give you your wedding present."
Mu Xiyue took the box and opened it. She was immediately delighted. "Diamonds? Diamonds actually exist in this era."
They turned out to be two diamonds, quite large in size.
After she finished speaking, she realized that she had forgotten herself a little. She felt guilty when she met Tan Taihong's half-smile. She turned her head to look at Xiao Yibai. Xiao Yibai seemed not to have heard what she had just said, and there was no trace of strangeness on his face.
She smiled awkwardly, "The wedding date hasn't been set yet, Xiao Yibai, can we decide when to set the wedding date ourselves?"
Xiao Yibai had heard the unusualness in her words just now. It seemed that this Tan Tai Hong had some connection with Yue Yue, and this connection must have been known to them only after they met. If they had known it earlier, the Soul-Seeking Pavilion would not have sent out that group of killers.
Hearing Mu Xiyue's question, he chuckled and said, "Of course, we can. Normally, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory will select an auspicious date within the past two years for us to choose from. When does Yueyue want to get married?"
Mu Xiyue thought for a moment and said, "How about a year from now? We can spend more time together. What if after a while you feel that I..."
Xiao Yibai interrupted her, "There's no such thing as a one-time event, Yueyue. If you still can't completely trust me, then I'll do it in a year. However, I still hope to marry you as soon as possible. Since Master Tantai is your sworn brother, I'll say it again today in front of my brother-in-law: I, Xiao Yibai, will do what I promised you. I don't know if I'll be so lucky to meet you in the next life, but I will never let you down in this life. You're the only one for me."
A trace of envy flashed in Tan Tai Hong's eyes. He said to Mu Xiyue seriously, "Sister, life is long or short. It's rare to meet someone who likes you, and if that person happens to be someone you like too, then don't waste your time. No one can predict which will come first, tomorrow or an accident. Since you like each other, why are you still thinking about so many trivial things? Don't be so dilatory."
The last sentence was accompanied by an eye roll, which added an extra spoonful of salt to the chicken soup for the soul and made Xiao Tao laugh out loud.
Dan Taihong was very pleased with Xiao Yibai's words "brother-in-law" just now. He made the final decision, "Your Highness, I will decide for my little sister. Choose a date within six months, but not too early. If it's half a month or a month, the dowry won't be ready in time. But Your Highness, let me be clear. If you dare to displease my little sister, then my Soul-Devouring Pavilion will break the rule of not killing members of the royal family."
Xiao Yibai stood up and bowed to him, "Yes, thank you for your support, big brother. I will remember this."
Mu Xiyue was deeply touched. She had been here for over a year, and although she and Xiaotao were like sisters, they were different from Tan Taihong. As long as Tan Taihong treated her sincerely, she would treat him as her own brother.
Tan Taihong stood up and waved at the two of them. "Aren't you going to the palace? Hurry up! I should leave too. If there's nothing else to do in the pavilion, I'll come back in about five days."
When Xiao Yibai and Mu Xiyue arrived at the palace, Prince Rui was also in the imperial study.
Mu Xiyue thanked the emperor for the title and marriage according to what Xiao Yibai taught her when he came. She also learned 90% of the etiquette. Although it was still a little stiff, it was much better than the previous two times she entered the palace. In addition, she had a sense of pride, and compared with such a weak noble lady, her temperament was much better.
After the emperor granted the two of them a marriage, he accepted Mu Xiyue from the bottom of his heart, and he liked her even more.
"Jinzhi, take Xinping to meet your royal grandmother. She was talking about you yesterday."
Xiao Yibai responded respectfully, "Yes, then Yueyue and I will withdraw first."
Prince Rui saw Mu Xiyue's graceful and generous appearance, which was much better than the women in his backyard. Although Mu Xiyue had no background, he had a hunch that Mu Xiyue would be a helper to Xiao Yibai. Since he couldn't get her, he must destroy her.
The emperor noticed the vicious look that flashed across Prince Rui's eyes. After Xiao Yibai and Mu Xiyue left, the emperor directly reprimanded Prince Rui.
"Boss, if you attack Lao Wu and Xin Ping again, you won't be able to continue as the Prince of Rui anymore. Don't think I don't know what you did to Lao Wu."
Prince Rui's heart trembled, and he immediately knelt down. "Father, please forgive me. I will never do it again. Before, I was blinded by greed and jealous of my fifth brother's excellence. I will never do that again. I will learn from my fifth brother and help you share your worries."
The emperor raised his hand and said, "Stand up! I hope you will be kind and respectful to each other. The Xiao family's kingdom needs you brothers to protect it together. As the eldest brother, you should set a good example."
Although the emperor said this, he also knew that it was very difficult for the royal family to be friendly and respectful to each other. How many emperors in history did not come to power by stepping on the blood of their brothers?
In Ci'an Palace, the Queen Mother held Mu Xiyue's hand very kindly.
Mu Xiyue thought that the Queen Mother would definitely not like her. After all, she was a girl who grew up in the countryside and had no family background, so she could not support Xiao Yibai. She didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so easy to talk to.
The Queen Mother seemed to know what Mu Xiyue was thinking. She patted the back of her hand and said with a smile, "Isn't it strange that I like you?"
Mu Xiyue felt the Queen Mother's kindness, and she chuckled and said, "It's the Queen Mother's kindness."
The Queen Mother said with a smile, "You should also follow Jinzhi and call me the Imperial Grandmother! It's rare for Jinzhi to have someone he loves, and I'm naturally happy for him. He's had a hard time these past few years. I can see that you are a good person, and I believe in Jinzhi's judgment."
Mu Xiyue listened quietly to the Queen Mother's words. She didn't know how to respond, so she replied obediently, "Yes, Grandmother."
The Queen Mother smiled and continued speaking as if she didn't need to say anything else.
“It’s rare for a person to meet someone he likes in his life, and that person also happens to like him.”
Mu Xiyue felt that this sentence was very familiar, as if she had heard someone say it before. Uh, it seemed that Tan Tai Hong had said something similar this morning. She smiled and replied, "Grandmother is right."
The Queen Mother seemed to be reminiscing about something. After a while, she came back to her senses and chuckled softly. "I can see that you also have feelings for Jinzhi. How many people in the royal family can get what they want? No woman would want her husband to have another woman. Jinzhi is not a fickle person. She will definitely not let you down."
The Queen Mother took off a emerald green jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on Mu Xiyue's wrist. "This was given to me by the late Emperor when he was still a prince. At that time, the late Emperor also promised to be together for life, but his status did not allow it. I hope that your wish can come true."
Mu Xiyue was very touched. It turned out that the Queen Mother also had a beautiful love when she was young. No wonder she could accept her so easily.
Mu Xiyue touched the jade bracelet and smiled, "Thank you, Grandmother. We will try our best to do it."
Xiao Yibai was dissatisfied with Mu Xiyue's words, "What effort? We can definitely do it, Yueyue, you have to have confidence in me."
The Queen Mother smiled broadly when she saw the two of them. "Well, you should leave the palace soon. I'm tired too."
