Quick Wear: After Revenge, I and the Immortal King Renew Our Relationship

Princess Jingyang had tears in her eyes and her voice choked with sobs, "My son, let me see him. He has become darker and stronger. Fortunately, you are back safely. Are you injured?" She carefully examined his body and felt relieved when she found no wounds.

Rong Yan smiled widely, his face slightly flushed. "Mother, when I was in danger in the mountains, a girl saved me. She had no place to live, so I brought her back to the army. She's a skilled doctor, and with her in charge, the casualties among the soldiers are very low. As long as someone is not already dead, she can revive them. So don't worry, I'm really fine."

Princess Jingyang, who had experienced this, could see the tenderness in her eyes. She wiped her tears gently with her handkerchief, her face showing no emotion. "Really? Then let me see you some other day."

Rong Yan happily agreed, and nervously explained, "Mom, Yanyan is my savior, you can't make things difficult for her."

Princess Jingyang glared at him unhappily, "Why do you think I'm such a rude and vicious person?"

Rong Yan smiled flatteringly, "My mother is the most beautiful, gentle, kind, and noble princess in the world."

"You're such a chatterbox! Well, it's almost time, come with me to the banquet!"

They didn't arrive early, and before they had even sat down at the table, the emperor and empress arrived, and they stood up and bowed again.

Rong Yan was the protagonist of this celebration banquet, and his seat was just below the main seat, very close to the emperor.

The emperor raised his glass and drank with Rong Yan, then asked the eunuch to announce the decree, appointing Rong Yan as the General of Zhenbei, adding the title of Prince Yi, and rewarding him with ten thousand taels of gold, a thousand acres of fertile land, etc.

The list of rewards was very long, and the eunuch read it for a long time. Rong Yan didn't listen carefully. He only knew that "Yi" meant leisure and happiness. This hint could almost be considered an explicit one. Well, that was fine, it was exactly what he wanted.

The decision to crown him king shocked the royal family and all officials. They knew that Rong Yan had made great contributions and would be rewarded generously, but were they concerned that it would be too much of an honor for a king of a different surname?

Only at the beginning of the founding of a country were a few heroes with outstanding achievements qualified to be crowned kings of different surnames.

After the eunuch finally finished reading, Princess Jingyang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, your grace is great, but Yan'er has relied on you to achieve what she has today. How can she be worthy of the title of prince? Please revoke your order."

The emperor remained silent and looked at Rong Yan, "General, what do you think?"

Rong Yan said calmly, "I thank you for your grace!" Amidst the incredulous looks from others, Rong Yan continued to make requests, "Your Majesty, I have one more favor to ask of you."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "You might as well speak frankly."

Rong Yan pulled out the military token from his sleeve and said, "Now that the external threat has been eliminated and the world is at peace, the military token is of no use to me. Your Majesty, please take it back."

The emperor was tempted, but pretended to decline, "You are a skilled commander of troops, and have made outstanding contributions. I am at ease with the military order in your hands."

"Please forgive my selfishness. As I grow older, I also want to live a warm life surrounded by my wife and children. Uncle, can you bear to see Yan'er be childless and die on the battlefield without an heir in the future?" Rong Yan showed weakness appropriately.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The emperor glared at him and reluctantly took back the military token. "I have already agreed to your request. Why curse yourself? Your uncle also naturally hopes to see you have many children and grandchildren. Do you have a sweetheart? Why not tell me and I will grant you a marriage."

Rong Yan smiled brightly, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I met the love of my life in the border town. Although she is a commoner, she is my savior. I will marry her in this life and will not take another wife. Please grant my wish, Your Majesty."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief. Being a commoner was good. If Rong Yan really wanted to marry someone from a wealthy family, he would have to worry about it! If he really didn't care about power, what would be wrong with letting him live a life of wealth and honor? "If you are sincere, I will agree to your request and grant you marriage."

Princess Jingyang also breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

After this banquet, the emperor and his ministers were in harmony and everything was satisfactory. Only the officials were stunned by the two big news: the king was given a different surname and the prince wanted to marry a commoner.

After the news spread, the entire capital was abuzz with talk, with people saying that a commoner's daughter was not worthy of being the prince's wife, and that the prince was just temporarily bewitched by a vixen.

There were also many people who wished they could sacrifice themselves in his place. After all, in this era when having three wives and four concubines was common, who would dare to make a promise to the emperor that they would be together for life?

But Rong Yan and An Yan, the parties involved, did not care about the rumors outside. They were in the courtyard of the general's mansion, appreciating the reward given to An Yan by the emperor.

After the imperial decree granting the marriage was issued, the emperor specially summoned the two of them.

An Yan deliberately acted like she had never seen the world and was timid and fearful. Her eyes, full of love and dependence, never left Rong Yan. She followed him like a little bird, never leaving his side.

Rong Yan always looked after her and treated her like a treasure, fearing that anyone would dare to neglect her.

The intimacy and love between the two, the occasional intimacy and love that were revealed were so strong that it didn't seem to be acted out.

The emperor observed for a long time, feeling confused. Finally, he sighed and rewarded her with twice as much gold, silver and treasures as originally planned to add to her makeup.

The wedding date was set for two years later. Because An Yan was still young and the laws of this dynasty stipulated that women could only get married at the age of fourteen, the engagement was set first.

Although the wedding date is still early, all the wedding supplies can be prepared early.

Princess Jingyang took on the two major tasks of betrothal gifts and dowry alone, and was very busy.

Her original attitude towards An Yan was distant and polite. An Yan was far from the image of a daughter-in-law with a noble family background, good education and good manners in her mind. She couldn't say that she was dissatisfied. She was well aware of her brother's suspicion and knew that she was a good choice, but she couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

An Yan did not flatter or please Rong Yan on purpose. She just took care of Princess Jingyang's body and beautified her face for Rong Yan's sake, making her look radiant.

When she went out to socialize, ladies of the same age group wanted to find out about the new daughter-in-law. Before they could even say anything, they were attracted by her face that looked like a young girl. Those who were close to her directly asked her what she did to achieve such a rosy complexion and delicate skin, which made people very envious.

Which woman doesn't love beauty? Princess Jingyang is no exception. Praising her youth and beauty really touched her heart. She was not stingy and gave An Yan a lot of praise.

Many ladies came to her for help, but Princess Jingyang did not take on too much responsibility. She just said that her daughter-in-law was quiet and introverted, and she had to go back and ask her opinion first.

After hearing this, An Yan readily agreed. She was free anyway, so it would be nice to earn some extra money.

Princess Jingyang was very happy and treated An Yan even more sincerely.

So, for her wedding dress, she specially asked all the famous tailor shops in the capital to come to her house with their treasures for her to choose.
