The Crown Princess is busy fishing
Chapter 159 Proposal
Hua Ruoyan had been anxious about her son's marriage for the past few years.
Xiao Yuan was still complaining about the rushed wedding date and how he couldn't make the necessary arrangements.
Immediately, her eyebrows furrowed, she put her hands on her hips, her almond-shaped eyes widened as she glared at Xiao Yuan, and launched into a rapid-fire speech:
"You, you, are just making sarcastic remarks! Your son has devoted himself to the court all these years, working tirelessly without ever having a moment to spare."
The diplomatic mission was so troublesome, yet he agreed without even flinching. Instead of showing concern, you're nitpicking about the wedding date!
As she spoke, Hua Ruoyan quickly walked a few steps to Xiao Yuan and poked his chest:
"For years, I've been eagerly waiting for Yunqing to get married. You know how many twists and turns there have been."
Having finally found this marriage, and with the wedding date set, it's time to strike while the iron is hot.
But you're still grumbling and talking nonsense!
Where did your usual brilliance go?
Why are you so indecisive and dragging your feet when it comes to your son's marriage?
Hua Ruoyan grew angrier as she spoke, her chest heaving violently.
Turning to look at Xiao Yunqing, her expression softened instantly, and she took his hand and whispered:
"Son, don't worry about your father, he's confused!"
My mother knows exactly what's going on. Ever since I met Yuge, I've prepared everything for the past two years, just waiting for you to come back.
"Perfect! Tomorrow we'll go to the Lin family to propose marriage in grand style."
Xiao Yunqing saw her father being scolded by her mother and did not try to stop him.
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on his lips, and he quickly nodded:
"I will do as Mother says. Thank you for your concern."
Seeing that he had angered his wife, Xiao Yuan felt helpless and regretful.
His usual composure and self-control crumbled instantly, and a fawning smile spread across his face.
He stepped forward, gently tugged at Hua Ruoyan's sleeve, and muttered softly:
"Yan'er, I'm clumsy with words and said the wrong thing. Please don't get upset."
It's not that I don't want my son to get married, it's just that this happened so suddenly.
I didn't quite grasp the situation and said some nonsense that upset you.
As he spoke, Xiao Yuan secretly gave Xiao Yunqing a pleading look, hoping that his son could put in a good word for him.
Xiao Yunqing suppressed a laugh, pretending not to see it, and turned her head to the side.
Xiao Yuan had no choice but to continue his persistent pleading:
"Yan'er, I've seen all the hard work you've done these past few years. You've put so much effort into Yunqing's affairs all these years, and I've neglected your feelings."
My son is going to propose marriage tomorrow. I promise I will be there for him and handle everything perfectly.
"If we're short of manpower, I'll find it; if we're short of items, I'll provide them. I'll make sure this wedding goes smoothly and is a grand success, okay?"
Hua Ruoyan's lips twitched slightly, her expression softening somewhat, but she remained silent.
Xiao Yuan pressed his advantage and continued:
"That Lin family girl is well-educated, reasonable, and capable."
He and Yunqing are a perfect match; I'm overjoyed.
Now that the wedding date is set, I will fully cooperate and won't say anything discouraging anymore, so please calm down.
Hua Ruoyan then turned her head, glared at Xiao Yuan, and said reproachfully:
"You talk too much! You'd better watch your mouth from now on. If you spoil my fun again, I won't let you off so easily."
Xiao Yuan nodded hurriedly, and Xiao Yunqing, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't help but chuckle.
The tense atmosphere in the hall instantly dissipated.
The family started chatting and laughing again, discussing the many details of the wedding.
The next day, just as dawn broke, everyone in the Prince's mansion was busy.
As promised, Xiao Yuan arranged for his steward to bring back the best official matchmaker from the capital before dawn.
The servants of the Prince's mansion carried heavy gift boxes, with the one at the front steadily holding a pair of wild geese in his arms.
Xiao Yunqing was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, her black hair tied up with a crown, and she had a graceful and charming appearance.
He was riding a black steed.
However, the slight tightening of his hands inside his sleeves betrayed the unease in his heart.
The group soon arrived at the Lin residence.
Lin Yuge and his group received the news yesterday and had been waiting for a long time.
After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Fanghai accepted the wild goose, formally acknowledging the marriage.
The official media then got straight to the point:
"Master Lin, Young Master Yun and your daughter are a perfect match, a match made in heaven."
I heard that the two of them have been entrusted with important tasks by His Majesty, and time is short.
Therefore, the Prince's Mansion intends to complete the six rites as soon as possible. What is your opinion?
Lin Fanghai stroked his beard and nodded slightly.
His gaze lingered on Xiao Yunqing for a moment before he said slowly, "
With the Prince's favor and the Emperor's decree in place, it is a blessing for my daughter to be able to form a bond with Yunqing.
Both of them now have important responsibilities, so it's not good to delay too much.
"Then let's do as the Prince's mansion wishes."
Xie Jingwan looked somewhat worried upon hearing this, and she sighed:
"Everything else is fine, but I'm afraid the wedding dress won't make it in time."
Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Yunqing stepped aside to let the old woman behind her step forward:
"Auntie, you don't need to worry about the wedding dress."
I specially brought an experienced nanny with me, and then went to take Yuge's measurements.
The embroiderers in the Prince's Mansion are all skilled craftswomen with exquisite craftsmanship. Working day and night, they are sure to embroider stunning wedding gowns.
"I guarantee it will be completed on time, so as not to delay the wedding."
Xie Jingwan was relieved and looked at Xiao Yunqing with increasing satisfaction.
"That's excellent. Yunqing, you've thought things through very well."
After both parties agreed on all the details, the atmosphere inside the room became increasingly harmonious.
After the nanny finished taking her measurements, Lin Yuge followed her out.
As soon as I stepped across the threshold, I looked up and saw Xiao Yunqing.
He was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, his posture upright, his black hair tied up with a crown, and he was speaking to his father with his head slightly turned to the side.
Perhaps it was a meeting of minds, but Xiao Yunqing turned her head at that moment, and their eyes met.
Undisguised smiles and tenderness instantly appeared in their eyes.
Xiao Yunqing stepped forward, ignoring the other people around her.
She gently smoothed a strand of hair that had fallen down Lin Yuge's temple with her hand, her movements light and natural.
"I'm sorry to trouble you during this time, but I will always be with you."
"If you encounter any difficulties, simply send someone to deliver a message, and I will arrive immediately."
Xiao Yunqing's voice was deep and gentle, and his warm breath brushed against Lin Yuge's ear, causing her cheeks to flush.
Lin Yuge lowered her eyes slightly and pursed her lips.
After a moment, she looked up to meet his gaze and gently scolded him:
"I know, I'm not so delicate that I can't handle anything. You just focus on preparing for things at the Prince's Mansion and don't let me distract you."
Although it was a complaint, it contained a lot of care and consideration.
Lin Fanghai coughed lightly and joked, "Those two are practically oblivious to everyone else."
Xie Jingwan smiled too, and the atmosphere in the room became even more relaxed.
Xiao Yunqing then belatedly realized that she was a little embarrassed, and her earlobes turned slightly red.
However, she was still reluctant to let go of Lin Yuge's hand, only slightly loosening her grip.
Lin Yuge struggled slightly, raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yunqing, her gaze shifting:
"You'd better hurry back to the manor to make preparations, or you'll miss the wedding."
Xiao Yunqing nodded, but leaned closer and whispered:
"Don't worry, I will definitely not be late. I just hope that day will come soon so that I can be by your side legitimately."
Having said that, he finally released his grip slowly, turned around, and solemnly bowed to Mr. and Mrs. Lin Fanghai:
"Uncle and Aunt, I will take my leave now. If there are any changes or discussions regarding the wedding date, please send someone to inform me immediately."
Lin Fanghai waved his hand: "Go ahead, be careful on your journey, and please take care of the wedding arrangements."
Xiao Yunqing agreed and left with the people from the Prince's Mansion.
