The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

In addition to Aunt Qing and Shangguan Yuefei who were unhappy, there was also a hint of jealousy in the eyes of some other young ladies from aristocratic families. After all, Shen Lebai was also a famous elegant young man in Zhaojing, with first-class character and family background.

If we were to say who was the most dissatisfied with this marriage, it would be Shangguan Rui. He had always been at odds with the Shen family, and now he hated them even more. He felt uncomfortable all over when he thought about his daughter marrying into the Shen family!

However, the Queen Mother never asked for his opinion at all. After what happened just now, he knew he was in the wrong and didn't dare to say anything more...

Forget it. He thought that he would still be Shen Lebai's father-in-law in the future, and Shen Hongan probably wouldn't feel too comfortable either. He felt a little psychologically comforted...

The storm was thus calmed down, and the banquet officially began.

Despite what happened just now, the eldest princess's mood was not affected at all. Instead, she was even happier because of the arrival of the Queen Mother.

Princess Jiayin accompanied Shen Leyan and Shangguan Yueyin throughout the whole process. They both felt very sorry for Sister Yueyin, but fortunately, it is all over now...

"Sister Yueyin will be Sister Leyan's sister-in-law from now on, and you will be a real family in the future. Don't forget me!" Princess Jiayin said with some joy and some sadness.

Upon hearing this, the two of them immediately assured in unison: "Of course not!"

"From now on, Princess, you can come to the Shen family anytime to play with me and Sister Yueyin!"

"Great! I'll definitely come here often!"

"I will definitely prepare a big gift for Sister Yueyin when she gets married!" Princess Jiayin said happily.

Shen Leyan asked curiously, "What gift does the princess plan to prepare for Sister Yueyin?"

Princess Jiayin thought about it and whispered something to Shen Leyan's ear, fearing that Shangguan Yueyin would know in advance. This was a surprise for her!

Although Shangguan Yueyin was curious, she didn't ask any more questions. She was a little shy at the moment, and she was afraid that if she opened her mouth, the other two would start teasing her again...

After the banquet, Shen Leyan said goodbye to the two of them without stopping. Someone was really urging her to leave. Emperor Yong'an had already sent two groups of people over, and she was afraid that if she didn't go out, he would come to invite her in person.

As soon as Shen Leyan left the Princess's Mansion, she was invited to a carriage and was held in the arms of Emperor Yong'an, who kissed her fiercely...

"Your Majesty..." Shen Leyan was already having difficulty breathing from the kiss and began to resist.

But he remained unmoved. He gave her a few seconds to catch her breath before starting a new round of siege.

He didn't stop until Shen Leyan could no longer bear it and started begging for mercy, calling his name and husband.

"You heartless little thing, do you still remember that I am your husband?" Emperor Yong'an asked angrily.

"If I hadn't sent someone to invite you, I'm afraid you would have forgotten me again." Emperor Yong'an said with a slight frown.

Shen Leyan glared at him coquettishly, but she also felt a little guilty and sweet in her heart.

If Emperor Yong'an hadn't stopped her in time, she would have gone back with Sister Yueyin. She felt a little uneasy, worried that Lord Shangguan would make things difficult for her...

"Alright, Your Majesty, I'm just worried about Sister Yueyin. I'm afraid Lord Shangguan will be unhappy with this marriage..."

Emperor Yong'an shook his head helplessly and hugged the person in his arms tightly.

"You can rest assured. From what I know about my uncle, after this lesson, he will definitely not be as confused as before."

"Besides, even if he's unhappy with this marriage, there's no room for regret now. It's your father who should be worried."

Shen Leyan tilted her head and looked at Emperor Yong'an, wondering, "What is my father worried about? If he knew about this, he should be happy. My brother is finally getting married!"

Emperor Yong'an didn't elaborate on their mutual desire to annoy each other. Instead, he teased her, "Oh? It seems Yan'er is very happy about the marriage?"

Shen Leyan shyly turned her head away, "Your Majesty, of course I'm happy that my brother can marry Sister Yueyin. They are now in love with each other..."

Emperor Yong'an gently pinched Shen Leyan's cheek and said with a smile: "Yan'er, do you know what I mean? If we were to get married, would you be so happy?"

"I think I would be happier, but..." Shen Leyan said as the smile on her lips gradually disappeared.

"Just what?" Emperor Yong'an asked anxiously.

"After Yan'er married the Emperor, she had to stay in the palace forever. Not only could she not see Sister Yueyin and the others often, but she couldn't see Mother and Father often either..."

Thinking of this, Shen Leyan's eyelids drooped, and Emperor Yong'an felt very distressed.

She immediately assured him, "I never thought that after we get married, I would have to trap Yan'er in the palace for the rest of her life. If Yan'er gets bored, I can take her out of the palace to play when I have time."

"Similarly, if Yan'er misses her family and friends, you can invite them into the palace to accompany you, or I can arrange for secret guards to escort you out of the palace to reunite with them..."

Shen Leyan's eyes suddenly lit up, but dimmed again in an instant. She knew that the palace was strictly guarded and even the emperor could not leave the palace at will, so these were not as easy as she imagined.

But she was still very happy. Although it was difficult, Emperor Yong'an would still try his best to satisfy her. She believed in him...

Shen Leyan leaned in Emperor Yong'an's arms, nodded slightly, her heart full of anticipation.

"Does Yan'er like the outside world?"

Shen Leyan didn't quite understand what he meant at the moment. Was he referring to the world outside the palace or...

Emperor Yong'an continued in her puzzled eyes, "In the face of absolute strength, you can get whatever you want."

"After I abdicate, shall we go out and have a look? With Yan'er by my side, even ordinary mountains and rivers will become breathtakingly beautiful scenery in my eyes!"

Shen Leyan couldn't explain the shock she felt at the moment. She didn't know how to express her true thoughts. She could only hug him tightly and nod solemnly.

Emperor Yong'an's thoughts were also what she wanted, and she wanted to accompany him...

"Yan'er, General Ye will be returning to Zhaojing with his soldiers soon. I'm afraid I won't have time to accompany you during this period. You must take good care of yourself."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Shen Leyan knew that Zhao Jing's world might be changing soon. She also wanted to do something for him and accompany him to face it together...

But Emperor Yong'an was afraid that she would be hurt, so he refused to tell her too much. He believed that it would not be long before he would be able to marry her openly and make her his queen.

The carriage slowly arrived at the gate of the Shen Mansion and stayed there for a long time before Shen Leyan straightened her appearance and the wrinkles on her clothes and got off the carriage.

If the servants outside hadn't reminded the Shen Mansion's housekeeper to come over, I'm afraid Emperor Yong'an would have had to detain her for a while...
