The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen

During this time, Zhao Haoxuan had maintained his burly appearance. Even Xie Zhengyi and Xie Xiaogang, who frequently visited the courtyard, occasionally glimpsed him from a distance and assumed that Wang Xinyao's martial artist was just a martial artist in his early thirties. As for Xie Dahua and the others, they had long since grown accustomed to their master's image.

That afternoon, after Wang Xinyao returned from digging herbs in the back mountains, she called Zhao Haoxuan, who was accompanying the children in their training, to the hall and said, "Brother Zhao, now that Wu Mingjun and the other two have moved into our courtyard, it's inevitable that they'll see you and Jing Yuan!"

Zhao Haoxuan quickly replied, "Don't worry, Xinyao, I will pay more attention!"

"I heard Jing Yuan has revealed his life story to you?" Wang Xinyao said with a smile, "I can't believe you, his master, are so important to him. His revealing his life story to you means he's entrusted his entire life and fortune to you!"

"Yes, he said it! This child has a high level of comprehension, and his current cultivation level has reached the fifth level of martial artist!" Zhao Haoxuan was very satisfied with Chen Jingyuan's growth and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

"Well, that's really good!" Wang Xinyao nodded slightly, a hint of surprise flashing across her face, but she was mostly happy for Chen Jingyuan. She paused, then continued, "Jingyuan's public identity is my younger brother. Some people in the village have seen him, and because he's not from the Xia country, the number of assassins and the data they have on him are limited. Furthermore, he's grown very fast recently, and if he's dressed a bit more casually, the original assassins might not recognize him. But you're different, and the enemy is getting closer and closer, and they could find us at any time. So, I want to give you an identity that allows you to stay here openly."

Zhao Haoxuan looked at Wang Xinyao with confusion and asked curiously, "What is your identity?"

Wang Xinyao replied with a serious face, "I want you to marry me in a fake marriage, marrying into my family. This will make it easier for me to practice medicine and manage affairs among the villagers. It will also avoid arousing suspicion and excessive speculation from others. Those who are hunting you probably never dreamed that a prince would marry a widow with three children. What do you think?"

Wang Xinyao's voice was gentle but firm, as if she had carefully considered the proposal. She looked at Zhao Haoxuan quietly, waiting for his response.

A flash of surprise crossed Zhao Haoxuan's face, but he quickly regained his composure. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Why a fake marriage? Can't we have a real marriage?" After saying this, Zhao Haoxuan suddenly realized his impulsiveness. His face flushed all the way to his ears, and his heartbeat became extremely violent.

Wang Xinyao's heart pounded upon hearing Zhao Haoxuan's words. However, the body she possessed now was only seventeen years old. In modern society, she would be a mere high school student, not even fully developed. Marrying too early would be detrimental to her health.

Although she also had feelings for Zhao Haoxuan—after all, he was not only exceptional in status and personal ability, but also handsome, gentle, and considerate—what woman wouldn't love such a man? However, they had only known each other for a few months. Conventional wisdom suggests that a courtship period of at least two or three years is necessary for a man and a woman to become comfortable with each other before considering marriage.

Wang Xinyao pondered for a moment and said, "With your status and position, if you don't get your father's approval, even if we really get married now, even if I marry you instead of you becoming his wife-in-law, he will never approve of it in the future." Then she added, "What's more, if you can truly control the world in the future, your harem will definitely not be just me, and what I pursue in this life is a lifelong couple!"

Zhao Haoxuan's face turned serious when he heard this, and he responded firmly, "If the price is losing you, then I'd rather not have this world!"

Hearing this, Wang Xinyao was deeply moved, as if a warm current surged through her heart. She looked at Zhao Haoxuan, whose eyes gleamed with determination, and whispered, "If the day ever comes when you ascend to a high position or regain your status as Crown Prince, and you still wish to be with me forever, I will remain loyal to you and face any difficulties with you."

Zhao Haoxuan's heart was filled with joy. He couldn't hide the smile on his face and nodded vigorously. In his heart, whether it was a real marriage or a fake one, Wang Xinyao was his only princess, and this would never change.

Wang Xinyao continued, "Although this is a fake marriage, we still need to hold a simple ceremony. We'll go find Aunt Liu in the village and ask her to help prepare some necessary items, and then we'll hold a simple wedding ceremony."

Wang Xinyao smiled and added, "After you get married, you can occasionally walk around the village, but don't draw too much attention. Then, you can take Jingyuan to the back mountain to practice. There is abundant spiritual energy there, which will greatly improve your cultivation."

Zhao Haoxuan looked at Wang Xinyao gratefully and said sincerely, "Okay, thank you, Xinyao."

So they called their four children and told them that they had decided to get married. The children were very happy and gave their blessings.

"Should I call you brother-in-law or master?" Chen Jingyuan asked jokingly.

"Master, should we call you stepfather or master?" Xie Dahua and the others also smiled evilly.

Zhao Haoxuan didn't know how to respond, but Wang Xinyao immediately came to his rescue: "Let's discuss our own affairs. We should continue to call each other the same way we did before."

That night, Wang Xinyao went to find Aunt Liu and explained her purpose. Aunt Liu happily agreed: "Xinyao, congratulations, you finally found someone to rely on. It's great!"

Wang Xinyao's request was that the wedding be as soon as possible, and the ceremony as simple as possible. So, after some discussion, the two decided to set the wedding for tomorrow, inviting Xie Baihong and the village head and his wife to have lunch together. As Wang Xinyao herself said, when marrying into a woman's family, men are more concerned about prestige, so the simpler the better!

The next morning, sunlight shone through the mist into the yard of Wang Xinyao's house. After Wang Xinyao gave Wu Mingjun an acupuncture, she asked the housekeeper to take him back to his residence. Wang Xinyao did not plan to invite them to today's wedding banquet!

Aunt Liu arrived at Wang Xinyao's house early, holding two Chinese characters for "happiness" in her hands. Although they looked a bit worn, they did not affect the festive mood at all. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she began to get busy.

She first cleaned the yard and then pasted red wedding characters on the doors and windows. Although the wedding ceremony was simple, these small wedding characters added a lot of joy to the yard.

Wang Xinyao wore a plain red dress with her hair simply tied up. Zhao Haoxuan still maintained the appearance of a sturdy man, with dark skin and a thick beard, looking completely different from before, showing his ruggedness and boldness. However, his coarse linen clothes were extremely neat, without a single wrinkle or stain, and even his hair was combed meticulously.

At noon, Xie Baihong and the village head and his wife finished their work and rushed over. When they learned the unexpected good news the previous night, they were stunned and stunned for a long time. They had never even met the mysterious martial artist in Wang Xinyao's family face to face, so who could have imagined that they were about to get married? All this happened so suddenly, leaving them both surprised and curious.

The table was neatly laid out with simple yet delicious dishes, including braised pork, stir-fried vegetables, and chicken soup. Although not delicacies from land and sea, it was also warm and cozy. Ten people sat around the table, and Wang Xinyao solemnly introduced: "Dad, village chief uncle, this is my husband, Zhao An"

Zhao Haoxuan immediately stood up and saluted respectfully: "Greetings, Father, and the village chief, Aunt Yue'e, and Aunt Liu."

Xie Baihong, Xie Zhengyi and others nodded with satisfaction. Although he was a little older and his appearance was a little ordinary, he was a son-in-law after all, so he was a good match for Xinyao.

Xie Baihong said to Zhao Haoxuan sincerely, "Son-in-law, although I am not Xinyao's biological father, in my heart, she is closer than my own daughter. She is kind-hearted and a good child. You must treat her well in the future."

"Please rest assured, Dad. I will take good care of her!" Zhao Haoxuan said with a simple smile!

The village head and his wife, along with Aunt Liu, also congratulated Wang Xinyao and Zhao Haoxuan: "Congratulations! May your marriage be blessed with a son soon, and may you live happily ever after!"

Hearing this, the two of them couldn't help but blush! Wang Xinyao looked at everyone gratefully and said, "Thank you, we will definitely live a good life."

Zhao Haoxuan also gazed at Wang Xinyao affectionately and said, "I will treat you well all my life."

Hearing this, Wang Xinyao blushed. She thought to herself, "Hey handsome guy, this is just a fake marriage! Don't tease me like that!"

At this time, Wang Xinyao said, "Uncle Village Chief, when you finish work this afternoon, please tell everyone that I got married today. Give everyone 20 wen as a gift so that everyone can share in my joy!"

"Okay, niece Xinyao, I thank you on behalf of everyone," said Xie Zhengyi.

Everyone chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. After the meal, Zhao Haoxuan took the initiative to help clear the dishes, which made Xie Baihong and others quite satisfied!

In the evening, as the night fell and the stars twinkled, Zhao Haoxuan and Wang Xinyao walked together in the yard.

"Xinyao, meeting you is my life's blessing." Zhao Haoxuan said in a deep voice, "Don't worry. From now on, I will redouble my efforts in cultivation. Once all dangers are eliminated, I will promise you a grand wedding, crowned with a phoenix crown and a red robe, and you will become my Crown Princess. From then on, we will be together for the rest of our lives."

Wang Xinyao smiled and responded: "Okay, I'll wait and look forward to spending my life with you."
