Father Shen still has great faith in Emperor Yong'an's sincerity. He has assisted the emperor for so many years, and he can use the country as a testimony. This shows how important his precious daughter is in the emperor's heart.

But he still didn't want to. Thinking about the previous deposed prince being the same, he felt even more that the Xiao family had bad intentions and were plotting against his precious daughter...

He thought that Emperor Yong'an was so angry and severely punished the prince because of him, which even touched him.

After all this time, it turns out that Emperor Yong'an was doing this because of him. He must have been blind to think that way.

His precious daughter had become the subject of a dispute between father and son. Just thinking about it made him angry!

Father Shen snorted coldly, "Your Majesty, if you say this now, if a new person enters the palace in the future, there's no guarantee that Your Majesty won't transfer his affections to someone else. Then won't my daughter follow in the footsteps of the late queen?"

Emperor Yong'an's face darkened. "Since I have said that I will only love her in this life, I will not break my promise. I will not let Yan'er follow in the footsteps of the late queen, nor will I let the Shen family fall into the same situation as the Lu family."

"The Prime Minister has already understood the current situation. The Lu family's annihilation was his own fault. Now, as long as I get rid of the Ye family, I will no longer have any worries."

"Therefore, there will only be Yan'er in the harem from now on. I will issue an edict that I will never take concubines."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Father Shen's eyes widened. He didn't expect Emperor Yong'an to be so resolute, which left him speechless for a moment.

Soon, Shen's mother and Shen Leyan came in with snacks. When Shen's father saw his daughter, he sighed in his heart.

Mother Shen laid out the snacks one by one, and after observing the expressions of the emperor and Father Shen, she knew that the two had not yet reached an agreement.

She smiled and tried to smooth things over, "These are Yan'er's favorite pastries. I've specially brought them here to present to His Majesty."

Emperor Yong'an smiled and politely thanked him, then tasted the food with great appreciation.

Shen Leyan walked to the side of Emperor Yong'an and stood still, looking at him gently and asked him how it tasted.

Seeing this, Father Shen exchanged glances with his wife and heard her say, "Master, does this look like us back then?"

Father Shen nodded slightly, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

He recalled that in the past he was also so persistent in his pursuit of marrying his wife, and he negotiated with her father to seize the opportunity.

Seeing that his expression had relaxed a little, Shen's mother immediately signaled the two of them to work harder.

At this time, Emperor Yong'an put down the snacks in his hand, took Shen Leyan's hand and said, "I hope that Yan'er and I can live together like the prime minister and his wife, and love each other forever."

Shen Leyan's cheeks flushed, and she was too shy to look at him...

Father Shen finally shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, since Your Majesty is so persistent, I will not stop you. I hope Your Majesty will keep his promise."

Emperor Yong'an was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Father Shen. He didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings at the moment.

After getting her father's consent, Shen Leyan immediately hugged Emperor Yong'an with a happy smile on her face.

"But I have one more thing I hope Your Majesty will grant me."

"Prime Minister, please speak freely."

"If one day Your Majesty changes your mind or gets tired of me, I hope you can let my daughter go home..." Father Shen said with a choked voice.

“Daddy…”

Shen Leyan didn't expect her father to say such words. Suddenly, she felt her nose a little sour, her eyes began to turn red, and crystal tears rolled in her eyes.

Father Shen turned his head away reluctantly and said, "Your Majesty, please agree to my request. Otherwise, I will feel very uneasy."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yong'an's expression grew serious. He held Shen Leyan's hand tightly and said solemnly, "Don't worry, Prime Minister. I swear here today that I will never let Yan'er down. If I break my promise, my throne will be in jeopardy."

After hearing this oath, Mr. Shen felt a little relieved.

Shen Leyan couldn't hold back any longer and threw herself into her father's arms, tears streaming down her face...

Father Shen patted her back gently and said comfortingly, "How come you were so stubborn when you were little, but now you've grown up and become a crybaby?"

Father Shen still remembers that she had never given them much trouble since she was born. She was quiet, sensible, and learned things quickly.

When his brother was young, he had to be forced and coaxed to go to school, but she didn't need any coaxing and took the initiative to ask to learn these things.

In order to practice the piano, he even neglected sleep and food, locked himself in the room, and rubbed his fingers until they bled, just to practice the piece well.

Fortunately, under the care of him and his wife, the once well-behaved and sensible little girl gradually became "willful". In the eyes of Shen's father, he prefers to see Shen Leyan's lively appearance.

Father Shen also knew that Shen Leyan's temper was as stubborn as his. Once she made up her mind, she would not give in. So the reason why he agreed so quickly was that he did not want to make his precious daughter sad.

"Okay, Daddy has agreed. Shouldn't Yan'er be happy now?"

"Yes, it makes Yan'er seem like she is about to leave us, but she is still with daddy and mommy!" Mother Shen also touched her head and comforted her.

Although she said this, she knew that her previous idea of ​​arranging a marriage for Shen Leyan and letting her stay in the mansion for two more years would probably not be realized.

For a moment, she felt a little sad. She should be happy because she had finally gotten over a worry, but she just couldn't feel happy at all...

"lady……."

Father Shen noticed the change in Mother Shen's mood, and hurriedly took his wife into his arms, and the three of them hugged each other.

Father Shen no longer cared about being sad at this moment, because he was busy comforting the mother and daughter, so how could he have time to be sad...

Fortunately, Emperor Yong'an took Shen Leyan over in time and shared half of the burden with him.

At this moment, not only the Shen family was a little sad, even Baoshun, who was following Emperor Yong'an, felt a little sad. If he hadn't known that this was originally something worth being happy about, he would have been unable to hold back the urge to cry...

Woohoo...

Lord and Madam Shen are so kind to Miss Shen...

In his heart, only the emperor is worthy of Miss Shen.

Emperor Yong'an looked at her crying and hugged her tightly. He whispered in her ear jokingly, "If Yan'er keeps crying, the Prime Minister will be even more reluctant to marry you to me later."

"If the Prime Minister changes his mind later, I will cry here with you."

Perhaps Emperor Yong'an's comfort worked, Shen Leyan's crying suddenly stopped. She rubbed her eyes in his arms, and then began to smile at her foolishly with bright eyes.

Her eyes were filled with tears, and I felt pity for her.

At this moment, she looked more like an innocent little kitten. If it wasn't inconvenient, Emperor Yong'an really wanted to hold her in his arms and kiss her.
