A life of ups and downs is pure joy

In the blink of an eye, winter has passed and spring has come, and Xiao Qiannan and Lin Ancai have begun to busy themselves with preparations for their wedding.

"Why can't Brother Ancai go back to Jinhan?"

Xiao Qiannan sat in the inner room of Qingbo Courtyard and looked at Xiao Yi unhappily and asked. She always felt that her elder brother must be unwilling to have this marriage and was deliberately making things difficult for her.

"Ever since you insisted on marrying Yu Ancai, this has been his fate. Not only can he not enter Jinhan, but more importantly, he cannot leave Tianmen without an imperial decree."

After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Qiannan coldly.

"Sister-in-law, you also know about this, right? Was it me who harmed Brother An Cai?"

Xiao Qiannan sat down weakly on the stool and turned to look at Lin Qinghuan who was holding Xiao Xingjian and asked.

"I heard this from my mother, Nan'er. It's not your fault. No matter who An Cai marries, His Majesty will be wary of him."

Lin Qinghuan wiped Xiao Xingjian's sticky hands after he finished eating the fruit, then returned her own son to Chuxia who was standing beside her, and took him out to find a wet nurse.

Xiao Yi glanced at his own daughter-in-law. He never thought that she would take this matter so lightly. What Xiao Yi didn't know was that this marriage was something that this woman had asked for from the Queen. Tao Baiwan had already disturbed her life, and he couldn't let her disturb An Cai and Xiao Qiannan again.

"Big brother, is it really like what my sister-in-law said?"

Xiao Qiannan looked pitifully at her older brother with a cold face.

Xiao Yi couldn't bear to see his biological sister looking so aggrieved, so he nodded.

"Since you have chosen An Cai, you must go with him to endure the hardships of the border. He has no freedom, but you do. Tianmen is not far from Luofeng. In the future, you must respect your parents-in-law and not act as willfully as before."

Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Qiannan quietly and said calmly, after all, she was still young and didn't understand the ups and downs of the previous dynasty. She just wanted to be with the one she loved.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, don't worry. Uncle Lin and Aunt He have always been very kind to me. I will definitely show my filial piety to you in the future."

Xiao Qiannan held Lin Qinghuan's hand and promised.

"Nan'er, I'll be relieved if you take good care of yourself and take care of Ancai's daily life. He and I were born from the same mother and grew up together. It's not easy to see each other now. You should live your own lives well in the future. It doesn't matter whether you return to Jinhan City or not. As long as you are happy, that's all that matters."

Lin Qinghuan patted Xiao Qiannan on the shoulder and said gently.

"Ajue and I are going on a long trip this time to take care of some things, which happens to clash with your wedding date. So don't blame me for not personally sending you to Tianmen. I'm relieved that your second brother is here."

After Xiao Yi finished speaking, Lin Qinghuan looked at him with confusion again, as he didn't know about this yet.

"Brother Fan is so thoughtful and considerate. I feel at ease having him accompany me. Big brother, you can go ahead and do your work. It's a pity that my sister-in-law can't go with me."

Xiao Qiannan was reluctant and kept holding Lin Qinghuan's hand and said.

"Jian'er is too young. When he grows up a little, I will bring him to Tianmen to see you."

Lin Qinghuan said helplessly. After all, on the one hand, Xiao Xingjian was less than one year old and could not withstand the long-distance ride. On the other hand, she was weak after a difficult childbirth last winter and caught a cold. It took several months for her to recover. Now she has to drink the medicine prescribed by Lin Mo every day to regulate her body.

"Your sister-in-law is in poor health, and we can't let her suffer all that way. I will visit you later."

After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he took Lin Qinghuan's hand again.

"Well, I'll go to the palace to look for my aunt first. She said she has something to explain to me and will arrange for two maids to go to Tianmen with me."

Seeing that her brother and sister-in-law looked loving again, Xiao Qiannan stood up and said that she would not disturb the couple anymore.

After Xiao Qiannan left, Xiao Yi and Lin Qinghuan moved to another place and continued to sit and chat.

"Where are you going with the Sixth Prince, my husband?"

Lin Qinghuan asked curiously.

"We have to go to Cen Yao again."

Xiao Yi said.

"Is this something I delayed last year?"

Lin Qinghuan raised his eyes and asked.

"Fool, what does it have to do with you? There are a lot of salt mines there. The emperor and the prince both value this place very much, so we go there once a year."

Xiao Yi looked at Lin Qinghuan's innocent and self-blaming look, and his heart softened instantly. He hugged her in his arms and spoke affectionately.

"That's good. Is this trip dangerous? Will we encounter assassination attempts?"

Lin Qinghuan suddenly remembered the arrow that hit Tao Baiwan, and asked worriedly.

"No, there won't be any danger anymore, don't worry. It's just that I'm really worried about your health."

Before Xiao Yi finished speaking, Lin Qinghuan started coughing uncontrollably again. Xiao Yi quickly stood up and patted her back gently.

"It's okay, maybe I'm a little nervous about you, you'll be fine after you relax."

Lin Qinghuan stopped coughing, then looked at Xiao Yi with a smile, tears welling up in her eyes from coughing.

"I'm really worried about you. Isn't the prescription Lin Mo prescribed effective? Why are you still coughing so badly?"

Xiao Yi reached out and took the tea that Yun Xiang hurriedly ran in and handed over.

"Second sister's prescription is definitely useful, but my body is not doing well. I need to take some more care and I will be fine when the weather warms up."

Lin Qinghuan wiped the tears that flowed from her eyes and said.

"The young lady is always worried and sighing, so even though she's taking the medicine, it's not working."

Yun Xiang thought of how Lin Qinghuan always sat alone in the room with a frown on his face every day, so he couldn't help but speak.

"What's wrong? Is there something bothering you?"

Xiao Yi glanced at Yun Xiang and suddenly realized that he was always busy and had never noticed these things.

"Don't listen to this girl's nonsense. I was just reading some difficult books, or studying some incomprehensible chess manuals, or thinking about the knowledge my master taught me. But when she reads it, it becomes a source of worry."

Lin Qinghuan glanced at Yun Xiang, then looked at Xiao Yi coquettishly and said.

"If you have anything on your mind that you can't hide from me, just tell me. I'm your husband, not an outsider."

Although Xiao Yi vaguely knew what the Queen was thinking, he didn't know that this was actually requested by his little wife.

"I understand." Lin Qinghuan nodded obediently.

"Huan'er, Auntie..."

Xiao Yi remembered the Queen Mother's suggestion that His Majesty would grant him a marriage, and he still wanted to say something to Lin Qinghuan.

"Husband, let's wait until Nan'er gets married. My mind is very busy now, so how can I have the leisure to listen to my aunt's teachings?"

Lin Qinghuan interrupted Xiao Yi and then looked at Yun Xiang.

"Go and bring the dowry I prepared for Nan'er yesterday and show it to your husband to see if he is satisfied. I am not partial. Wen'er and Nan'er will receive the same amount."

Lin Qinghuan turned around and gave Yun Xiang another instruction.

Xiao Yi looked at the woman's smiling face, and the words came to his lips but he couldn't say them. He could only wait for Cen Yao to come back and get things done. Maybe there would be a turning point in the arranged marriage.

The eldest daughter of the Xiao family will be getting married with a grand procession of red veils stretching ten miles long. Xiao Qiannan was covered with a red veil and put into the carriage. Xiao Fan escorted her all the way to Tianmen County.

At the gate of the Xiao Mansion, Lin Qinghuan and Liu Rong supported Liu Ji, who was already crying, on both sides, and watched the carriage go away reluctantly.

"My Nan'er finally married far away."
