Transmigrating Female Supreme: The Peerless Husband Depends on Me

"It's born! It's a boy!" Lin Yuxuan shouted excitedly, "Father and son are safe!"

Su Yue's legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.

Liang Junze quickly supported her: "Yuer!"

Su Yue took a deep breath, pushed open the door of the delivery room, and walked quickly to the bed.

Shen Yunyan leaned weakly on the pillow, holding the newborn baby in his arms. Seeing Su Yue coming in, the corners of his lips raised slightly: "Yuer..."

Su Yue's eyes were filled with tears, and she leaned over and kissed his forehead: "Thank you for your hard work."

Shen Yunyan shook his head and handed the child to her: "Look at our child."

Su Yue carefully took the swaddling clothes. The baby's little face was rosy, and his eyebrows and eyes looked very much like Shen Yunyan. He closed his eyes quietly and slept soundly.

"Have you chosen a name?" she asked softly.

Shen Yunyan smiled slightly: "Shuxi, Shen Shuxi."

"What a nice name." Su Yue said softly, "Our Xi'er."

The birth of Shen Shuxi made the Su Mansion more lively.

The little ones were full of curiosity about this new brother, especially Yaoyao, who would lie beside the cradle and watch him for a long time every day.

"My little brother is so small." She blinked her eyes. "When can he play with me?"

"Wait until he grows up a little." Su Yue rubbed her head, "Yaoyao must be a good sister and protect her brother, understand?"

Yaoyao nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

Zhou Chufan stood aside and watched this scene, feeling both warm and sad in his heart.

He also wants to have a child with Su Yue.

But now he doesn't even have a name.

Su Yue noticed his mood and walked over to hold his hand: "What's wrong?"

Zhou Chufan shook his head: "Nothing, just... a little envious."

Su Yue understood what he meant and said softly, "Xiao Fan, give me a little more time."

Zhou Chufan forced a smile: "Okay."

He knew what Su Yue was waiting for.

He would look for opportunities to make meritorious deeds and wait for an opportunity that would allow the empress to grant him a legitimate marriage.

The opportunity came faster than expected.

A rebellion broke out on the border. A group of bandits attacked the border towns, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of atrocities.

The empress was furious and immediately ordered troops to suppress the rebellion.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops!" Shangguan Haomu stepped forward and asked for orders.

The empress pondered for a moment, her eyes falling on Zhou Chufan: "Chufan, are you willing to go with me?"

Zhou Chufan was startled, then knelt on one knee: "I am willing to go!"

The Empress nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I appoint you as deputy general to assist General Shangguan in suppressing the rebellion."

Zhou Chufan's heart was pounding.

This is his chance!

If he could accomplish something, he would be able to legitimately ask the Empress for marriage!

On the eve of the expedition, Su Yue personally packed his luggage.

"Sister." Zhou Chufan held her hand. "When I come back, we'll get married, okay?"

Su Yue looked at his determined eyes and finally nodded: "Okay."

Zhou Chufan's eyes became hot and he lowered his head to kiss her.

The war went more smoothly than expected.

Shangguan Haomu is a master in commanding troops. Although Zhou Chufan has no actual combat experience, he has repeatedly achieved remarkable feats with his extraordinary martial arts and keen intuition.

Three months later, the rebellion was put down and the army returned victorious.

The empress was very pleased and immediately rewarded him.

"Zhou Chufan, listen to my orders!"

Zhou Chufan knelt in front of the hall, his heart beating like thunder.

"Prince Zhou Chufan, for your meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion, I grant you a thousand taels of gold, a hundred acres of fertile land, and—" The Empress paused, her lips curled slightly, "and grants you marriage to Su Yue, a lecturer at the Imperial Academy. The wedding will take place on a chosen date!"

Zhou Chufan raised his head suddenly, his eyes reddened instantly: "Your Majesty, thank you for your grace!"

The whole court was in uproar, but no one dared to object.

After all, Zhou Chufan earned this honor with his own ability.

On the day of the wedding, the entire capital was shocked.

This was the first time since the founding of Mingxi Kingdom that a prince married a woman from a lower family.

The ten-mile-long street from the imperial palace to the Su Mansion was paved with red silk, with heavy guards on both sides. People crowded on both sides of the road to watch this grand wedding.

"Look! His Royal Highness's procession is here!"

Thirty-six guards in golden armor led the way, followed by sixty-four palace maids holding flower baskets and scattering fresh petals into the air.

Zhou Chufan sat upright in a gilded wedding sedan carried by sixteen people. The sedan was carved with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes, and golden bells unique to the royal family were hung on the four corners, making crisp sounds with the steps of the sedan bearers.

In front of the Su Mansion, Liang Junze had already lined up with his husbands to welcome them.

Liang Junze's light blue outfit makes him look gentle and elegant;

Gu Qingyan rarely changed out of his black clothes, and wore a dark red brocade robe that made him look even more handsome.

Lin Yuxuan stood on tiptoe excitedly to look around;

Mu Feng was trying to persuade Shu Yao and Shu Han who were having a bad temper.

The Shangguan brothers were dressed in military uniforms, their swords at their waists gleaming in the sun;

Shen Yunyan was holding Shuxi, who was just four months old, while Mu Feng and Zhou Ziqian were standing in the front row, holding the little ones.

"The new son-in-law has arrived—"

As the ceremonial officer sang loudly, the wedding sedan slowly landed on the ground.

The curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and Zhou Chufan walked out slowly in a bright red wedding dress.

The four-clawed python pattern embroidered with gold thread sparkled in the sun, and the pearls on the jade belt around his waist swayed gently with his steps.

He was born handsome, and today he looked even more handsome with a face like a jade and eyes like stars.

Su Yue stood on the steps, looking at the boy who used to follow her and call her "sister", and now he has grown into a tall and handsome man.

She was wearing a nine-phoenix golden crown today, and through the falling pearl curtains, one could see her smiling eyes.

"Please ask the newlyweds to perform the ritual of washing their hands—"

Zhou Chufan walked up to Su Yue, and they each held a jade spoon in the golden basin and washed each other's hands.

This is a unique etiquette for royal weddings, symbolizing washing away the past and welcoming a new life.

"Please ask the newlyweds to perform the same prison ceremony—"

The maid brought the special prison meal, and Su Yue and Zhou Chufan each took a small piece and fed each other.

Zhou Chufan's hands were shaking slightly, and he almost dropped rice grains on Su Yue's lapel.

Su Yue chuckled and steadily took the food he handed over. Her fingertips accidentally brushed against his palm, causing Zhou Chufan's ears to turn red.

"Please ask the newlyweds to perform the wedding ceremony——"

Liang Junze personally served the wedding wine.

When Zhou Chufan took the wine glass, he saw the sincere blessings in the master's eyes and his heart warmed.

He intertwined his arms with Su Yue's and drank the wine in one gulp. The wine went down his throat, spicy yet sweet, just like his mood at the moment.

"Bow to Heaven and Earth——"

"Bow to your parents twice——"

"The couple bows to each other—"

When Zhou Chufan and Su Yue bowed to each other, his eyes were already wet.

His long-cherished wish finally came true. From now on, he could openly call her "wife" and stand beside her with dignity.

After the ceremony, the wedding banquet officially began.

The empress specially sent a royal chef to prepare the feast, which included all kinds of delicacies from land and sea.

The most eye-catching dish is the "Dragon and Phoenix", which is made with high-quality deer tendons and abalone, symbolizing the couple's happy marriage.

"Your Highness looks particularly handsome today," the guests exclaimed.

Zhou Chufan didn't care about these compliments, his eyes were always following Su Yue.

Watching her chatting with the guests, watching her being pestered by a few kids for wedding candy, watching her helpless expression when Lin Yuxuan secretly forced her to drink... every scene made his heart burn.
