Chapter 216 Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings
Shui Yi lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him, but from the moment she entered, she had noticed his striking white hair.
“Shuiyi, my future wife,” he then introduced Xie Cangming to Shuiyi, “Yi’er, this man is the Imperial Preceptor of Yuanqi.”
Shui Yi nodded politely to him and said softly, "Shui Yi greets the Imperial Preceptor."
Xie Cangming did not respond to her, his blue eyes openly scrutinizing Shui Yi.
After a long pause, he chuckled softly, "Shui Yi? The surname Shui is quite rare! Your future wife has such an outstanding appearance and temperament, and she's quite a good match for you."
"Alright, I didn't bring Yi'er here specifically to introduce her to you. I'm asking you, what exactly did you say to His Majesty? He had prepared that imperial edict in advance."
Xuan Yuan originally intended to leave, but seeing Xin Moling come to settle accounts, he decided to wait a little longer. After all, he was Yan'er's brother, and judging from the looks of it, he didn't seem to want Yan'er to marry into the royal family either.
"Hehe~ You two shouldn't dwell on what I said. Now that His Majesty wants to make Mo'er Empress, if neither of you is willing, then think carefully about how to deal with it. I, the Imperial Tutor, am biased towards Mo'er."
"Do you have a way to persuade His Majesty to retract his order?"
"If Mo'er becomes Empress, you will be the Emperor's brother-in-law. What's wrong with that?"
Xin Moling snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "My brother and I have lived in the palace since we were young. How could we not know the dangers of the inner palace? I only wish Yan'er to be happy and live a carefree life. I look down on empresses and princesses. Yan'er is not someone who covets wealth and glory."
"Did you hear that? My Mo'er doesn't crave wealth and glory. Even if you begged for the position of Princess Consort of Xuan, I doubt Mo'er would care."
He glanced at Xie Cangming and said indifferently, "So what? I only want Yan'er to marry me. As for what she wants to be, I can make it happen as long as she wants it."
Upon hearing this, Xin Moling's expression suddenly became complicated. "You... I'd like to talk to you later."
Xuan Yuan nodded, but still wouldn't give up, he asked again, "Where is Yan'er now? Why didn't you bring her with you?"
"...She's staying at the palace tonight." Xin Moling practically gritted his teeth as he said this. He always had the feeling that his sister had been kidnapped, regardless of whether the kidnapper was Xuan Yuan or Yuan Huaijun.
"What did you say?" The person's voice rose several decibels instantly, and the veins on their forehead bulged out.
"Just now in the Hall of Grace, I originally intended to take Yan'er away early, but His Majesty said that Yan'er would be invited to the Imperial Study for a meeting tomorrow. To avoid the trouble of traveling back and forth, Yan'er was to stay in the palace tonight in her original bedroom. He immediately ordered the palace servants to take Yan'er to rest. I didn't even... didn't say a single word to Yan'er."
Xin Moling spoke with extreme frustration and resentment, even suspecting that Yuan Huaijun was going to place Yan'er under house arrest.
Xuan Yuan took several deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down. "I'll go find Yan'er now."
Xie Cangming shook his head helplessly, "What are you looking for? You are a prince, wandering around the inner palace in the middle of the night. Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will use this as a pretext to punish you?"
"I'm afraid of him? In any case, I won't let Yan'er get too close to him."
"So you think I would approve of you and Yan'er being too close?" Xin Moling glanced at him sideways. How could this person's temperament be so different from what she had heard before?
Xuan Yuan was speechless after being stumped by these words.
"Alright, alright, it's just that Yan'er is staying here for one night, don't overreact."
As Xie Cangming spoke, he glanced at Shuiyi's face and said, "I think Miss Shuiyi is also tired. You should take her back to rest as soon as possible. When I see Mo'er tomorrow, I will arrange for her to return to the manor."
"Xuanyuan, remember this: when I asked you to marry Mo'er, it was because I had foreseen your destined marriage. If Mo'er did not wish to marry you, you could not force her. Everything should be based on Mo'er's wishes. Now, do whatever you want!"
This time, his tone was no longer nonsensical, and he directly called out Xuan Yuan's name. After all, it seemed that his elder brother probably knew something!
The two of them didn't say much more, each already having their own solutions in mind. The most important thing right now was to see Yan'er as soon as possible.
"Go back, everyone!" Xie Cangming yawned; it was time to rest.
Xin Moling stood up first, took Shui Yi's hand, greeted him, and turned to leave Feiying Palace.
Xuan Yuan didn't linger, after all, Xin Moling had asked him to come see her, what did he want to ask him?
In the blink of an eye, only the two of them remained in the Feiying Hall. Their half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and they stared thoughtfully in the direction of the door.
"What are you thinking about?"
"He's thinking about his and his sister!"
Feng Qingyang sighed and comforted her, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; even without children and grandchildren, I will enjoy my own happiness."
“…Feng Qingyang, you can get out now.”
Inside the Xianhuan Palace, Xin Moyan lay on her bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She couldn't understand why the Yelan Kingdom had specifically requested her to go for a political marriage for no apparent reason. And what about her imperial cousin? He was her own cousin! Even if she had transmigrated, this body was still related to him by blood!
And then there's Xuan Yuan. He must have been angry last night, which is why he left without saying goodbye. I wonder what he's doing now? His relationship with His Majesty doesn't seem to be very good. Did he go to argue with His Majesty? But imperial edicts aren't like WeChat messages; they can't be recalled. So what should we do?
She lay sprawled out, one leg draped over the blanket, and glanced at the bright yellow imperial edict on the table in the distance, which only intensified her frustration.
Regardless, she must explain things to His Majesty tomorrow. She was escorted here by palace maids and didn't have time to say a few words to her brother and Buyu. They are probably worried about her too. By the way, will Xuanyuan go to see her brother? What will her brother ask him?
Her thoughts wandered, then she sighed deeply, saying she couldn't attend these kinds of banquets; the days just passed by...
While Xin Moyan was racking her brains, two men were sitting calmly facing each other when a noisy commotion came from outside the door.
"Why can't I go in?" Hua Buyu put her hands on her hips and glared fiercely at Qing Que. These two men had bad tempers, and their subordinates also had deadpan expressions.
Qingque remained expressionless, feeling helpless towards Hua Buyu. "Master said he and Xuanwang need to have a detailed talk alone."
"What a load of rubbish! If those two keep talking, Yan Yan will be the empress tomorrow. They claim to love Yan Yan the most, but not one of them is trustworthy!"
She spoke with great distress, saying that she had urged him to make progress faster but he wouldn't listen, and now look what happened, someone else had snatched her away!
The two people in the room were both ashamed upon hearing this...
“Yuan… no, I should call you Xuan Yuan.”
