The Emperor's heart is won, she sits on the Phoenix Throne! The Divine Physician's Eldest

After school, Song Siyao didn't see Shen Pei at the academy gate; instead, Wei Xin was waiting for her.

“Princess, my lord has something to attend to and instructed me to come and fetch you. He will meet you after he finishes his business,” Wei Xin explained.

“Okay.” Song Siyao had no doubts and got into the carriage.

As they approached the meeting place with Shen Pei, the number of pedestrians suddenly increased, making it inconvenient to travel by carriage.

“Princess, there are too many people. Why don’t we get off the carriage and walk over?” Wei Xin suggested.

“Okay.” Song Si shook off the carriage.

“Princess, please come with me, it’s just ahead.” Wei Xin pointed to a spot not far ahead.

Just then, a passerby came up and handed Song Siyao a rose.

"Princess, may you be happy forever."

After walking only a few steps, another group of people handed Song Siyao a rose, saying, "Princess, may you be happy and healthy."

Just as Song Siyao was wondering what was going on, a passerby brought her a third rose and said, "Princess, may you have peace and good fortune."

……

As they continued their journey, Song Siyao received a total of ninety-nine roses.

At this moment, she arrived at the place she had agreed to meet with Shen Pei.

Shen Pei was standing directly in front of her with his back to her.

Behind Shen Pei was a heart made of flower petals. Shen Pei turned around, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hands.

"Yaoyao, you're here. I didn't mean to hide it from you."

Shen Pei looked at Song Siyao, knelt on one knee, and confessed with deep affection and seriousness, "I have waited for this day for a long time. I once promised you that you would protect the world and I would protect you. Now that the world is at peace, will you marry me?"

Faced with the sudden marriage proposal, Song Siyao was somewhat surprised, but mostly delighted.

She took the flowers from Shen Pei's hand and answered loudly, "I do."

Shen Pei did not get up, but took out a small box from his pocket. He opened the box and took out a gold ring.

He put the gold ring on Song Siyao's ring finger and kissed the back of her hand.

"Yaoyao, I love you. Thank you for coming into my life and becoming the light of my life."

As he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from all around, and everyone offered their sincere blessings.

"Congratulations, Your Highness and Princess."

"Wishing Your Highness and Princess eternal happiness."

"Your Highness, may the princess live a long and happy life together."

……

Shen Pei held Song Siyao's hand, his face full of smiles, happiness and pride, as the two walked into the restaurant amidst everyone's blessings.

In the private room on the second floor, the food had already been prepared, and Song Siyao saw that the table was full of her favorite dishes.

"How long have you been preparing for this day?" Song Siyao asked Shen Pei.

“A few months,” Shen Pei said. “I haven’t found the right time yet, and I’m worried that if you find out in advance, there won’t be any surprise. I also don’t know how to make you like it.”

Shen Pei was a formidable warrior on the battlefield, striking fear into the hearts of his enemies, but when it came to matters of the heart, he was extremely cautious in front of Song Siyao.

Because I care, I am cautious.

He was afraid she would be unhappy.

Song Siyao held Shen Pei's hands and looked at him with a smile, "I like anything you make."

She tiptoed and gave Shen Pei a light peck on the corner of his mouth.

In an instant, Shen Pei's body felt as if it had been struck by lightning.

He cupped Song Siyao's face in his hands and kissed her lips, as lightly as a dragonfly skimming the water.

He gazed at Song Siyao, and seeing that Song Siyao's eyes were slightly closed, he kissed her again.

Lips and teeth met, the dew was sweet and refreshing.

The room was quiet; at this moment, their world consisted only of each other.

The next day.

Shen Pei went to the palace to request Emperor Changlong to grant him a marriage. Emperor Changlong issued an edict to grant Song Siyao and Shen Pei a marriage, and the wedding date was set for the ninth day of the fourth month of the following spring.

The news caused a sensation throughout the capital.

Prime Minister's House.

Jiang Yu smashed everything she could in the house; her eyes were red with anger and jealousy.

Just yesterday she was mocking Song Siyao, saying that Shen Pei wouldn't give her a proper title, but after school that afternoon, Shen Pei proposed to Song Siyao.

She didn't take the news to heart when she heard it.

Marriage has always been arranged by parents or matchmakers. So what if there's a proposal? As long as they're not officially engaged, she and Shen Pei still have a chance.

But how could Emperor Changlong have arranged their marriage so soon, only one night later?

What does all her hard work over the years amount to?

She is not reconciled!

She is not convinced!

She hated Song Siyao for taking away her wealth and status, and even more so for taking away the man she loved.

"Song Siyao, I will never forgive you! Don't be so smug, you two aren't married yet, I will definitely take the prince back!"

Dingguo Gongfu.

Huo Ye held a small box in his hand, inside which was a hairpin that he had specially made as a gift for Song Siyao.

He hasn't been in Beijing lately; he's gone out to do business.

When it comes to leading troops into battle, he is definitely no match for Shen Pei. So he had no choice but to find another way and was determined to surpass Shen Pei and catch Song Siyao's eye.

It must be said that Huo Ye is a business genius; in less than a year, his business has spread all over the south.

He was away for a rather long time this time, only returning to the capital late last night.

He was unaware that Shen Pei had proposed to Song Siyao yesterday. Today, he was preparing to take a gift to Song Siyao when he heard from a servant that Emperor Changlong had bestowed a marriage upon Song Siyao and Shen Pei.

In an instant, he clutched his chest and squatted down, his heart aching so much he couldn't breathe.

Emperor Changlong's bestowal of marriage foreshadowed that there was no longer any possibility between him and Song Siyao.

He waited for Song Siyao for so long, but he still hadn't properly confessed his feelings to her. Their relationship ended before it even began.

"Why didn't you wait for me?" Huo Ye murmured to himself, his eyes filled with sorrow.

He planned to take this opportunity to seriously confess his feelings to Song Siyao.

Everything is too late.

Unless Shen Pei or Song Siyao take the initiative to break off the engagement, but they love each other so much, why would they take the initiative to propose breaking off the engagement?

"Young Master, don't be sad. There are plenty of good girls in the world. Try to think more positively," the servant comforted Huo Ye.

Huo Ye didn't listen at all; he gripped the box tightly. "I'm going to the Marquis's residence!"

Before he could finish speaking, he had already strode out of the room.

He was going to the Zhenbei Marquis's residence to see Song Siyao and tell her his feelings.

He will accept whatever the outcome.

But if he doesn't speak out, it will become a lifelong regret for him.

He wanted to try again, to be true to himself.

The Zhenbei Marquis's Residence.

"Princess, Young Master Huo has arrived," Hongshao reported.

"Let him wait in the living room, I'll be out in a bit."

"Yes, princess."

Song Siyao arrived at the front hall and saw Huo Ye pacing back and forth, his hands behind his back, as if in a meeting.

"Young Master Huo, is there something you need from me?" Song Siyao asked directly.
