Chapter 340 Imperial Marriage
The matter in Jiangnan is finally settled, and Ji Xuan and the Crown Princess are about to return to the capital.
However, one of them brought Yuechen with her, and the other brought Ajing with her.
When the Crown Princess saw Yue Chen again, she was quite surprised, but when she saw that Yue Chen was with her younger sister, she had no choice but to give up.
A Jing was wary when he saw Yue Chen, after all, his appearance was rather plain compared to Yue Chen's.
Sure enough, after meeting Yue Chen, the Crown Princess doesn't seem to be as enthusiastic towards him anymore.
"Ah Yu, do you like that Yue Chen? I know I'm just an ordinary person, not good enough for you at all. Ah Yu, why don't you just let me go back to the village!" This time, when the Crown Princess was distracted again, Ah Jing couldn't take it anymore.
"Ah Jing, what are you saying! Yue Chen belongs to my sister, I don't like him at all!"
The Crown Princess wasn't thinking about Yue Chen; she was clearly afraid.
The closer she got to the capital, the more afraid she became that His Majesty would blame her again, after all, she had been missing for a period of time.
"Good Jing, don't overthink it. I really was thinking about something else! You know how I feel about you. It's a love that will last until the mountains crumble and the heavens and earth unite. Don't say anything about leaving again, it will make me very sad!"
Ah Jing was skeptical of what the Crown Princess said, but her jealousy subsided somewhat.
And so the two of them lived happily ever after.
Meanwhile, Ji Xuan looked at Yue Chen, her mind filled with countless thoughts.
"Maybe I should go sit outside!"
"Your Highness, what are you saying! If anyone should go outside, it's me! How can I let you sit outside!" Yue Chen said, getting up to sit outside the carriage.
Upon hearing this, Ji Xuan regretted saying the wrong thing. Her intention was to prevent the two of them from being alone in a room, which would affect Yue Chen's reputation.
To everyone's surprise, Yue Chen was about to get up and go outside the carriage after speaking, but Ji Xuan couldn't let her.
She reached out and pulled the other person along, saying, "Let's all sit inside!"
"Your Highness, I..." Yue Chen wanted to say something, but the carriage happened to pass over a large pothole, and the carriage suddenly plunged into the pothole, causing it to lurch.
Yue Chen also lost his balance, and Ji Xuan quickly pulled him into her arms.
The two looked into each other's eyes, and then their faces began to turn red.
"Your Highness, may you let go of me now?" Yuechen asked shyly.
Ji Xuan then realized that she had been holding Yue Chen's hand the whole time. She quickly let go and helped Yue Chen sit up.
"I... I will take responsibility. Once I return to the capital, I will ask His Majesty to grant me this marriage!"
"Your Highness~" Yue Chen blushed even more.
"What, you don't want to? Fine, I was rash. Never mind then!" Ji Xuan said with some disappointment.
"No, I'm willing!" Yue Chen was initially very happy that her idol liked her too; what fan wouldn't be excited?
To his surprise, he heard Ji Xuan say "never mind" again, and he quickly expressed that he was willing to be with Ji Xuan.
"Your Highness, you!" Yue Chen realized he'd been tricked when he saw Ji Xuan staring intently at him. "You're kidding me!"
"No, no, how could I dare! I'm telling the truth. When I return to the capital, I want to ask His Majesty for a marriage decree. I wonder if you would be willing!"
Ji Xuan said seriously.
"Your Highness, I am willing!" It seemed that Ji Xuan's serious attitude influenced him, and Yue Chen also responded seriously.
"Okay!" Having received a positive response, Ji Xuan took Yue Chen's hand again.
Following the harmonious beginnings on the Crown Princess's side, Ji Xuan and Yue Chen's relationship is also becoming increasingly harmonious.
The carriage traveled for a long time before finally arriving in the capital.
As soon as the group entered the city, a palace attendant rushed in to report: "Your Highness the Crown Princess and Your Highness the Prince, His Majesty requests your presence."
The Crown Princess turned pale, but forced herself to agree.
Ah Jing looked at the Crown Princess with concern, but she patted his hand to reassure him.
Ji Xuan looked at Yue Chen with concern. This little rabbit had secretly run away from home. Wouldn't she get scolded when she got back?
"Don't worry, Your Highness, it's alright. My mother spoils me a lot!" Yue Chen said, swallowing hard.
Although his mother usually adores him, she doesn't know if she'll be angry with him for secretly running off to Jiangnan this time.
"Alright, then you stay home obediently and wait for me to come find you after I've obtained the imperial decree!" Ji Xuan patted Yue Chen's head and then went into the palace.
His Majesty in the palace only asked the two about their time in Jiangnan, and did not blame the Crown Princess and Ji Xuan.
"You two did a good job on this mission. Would you like any reward?"
Following His Majesty's question, Ji Xuan immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I wish to grant you a marriage. I wish to marry Yuechen!"
"Yue Chen? The most handsome man in the capital?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have long admired Lord Yuechen and wish to ask for your permission!"
"This Yue Chen is indeed handsome, but his status is too low and doesn't match yours!"
Although Ji Xuan was not the princess chosen by His Majesty, the Empress still liked this outstanding daughter very much.
The Empress still cared about her husband.
"Why not make him your concubine, and I will choose a suitable husband for you? What do you think?" The Empress quickly came up with a good idea.
In this way, the daughter has both a husband of suitable status and a beloved person.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I only want Yuechen!" Ji Xuan firmly refused.
Even the Crown Princess couldn't help but admire Ji Xuan's words, as she actually planned to marry only one person.
"Absurd!" The Empress was indeed furious upon hearing this.
"As a member of the royal family, how could you possibly marry only one husband?"
"But I only want to marry Yuechen. I don't like anyone else but Yuechen!"
"He's just Yue Chen. He's only a bit more handsome. Are you really going to give up so many young men of the Phoenix Dynasty for him?"
"Yes, there are so many gentlemen in the world. But when they heard the news of my disappearance, only Yuechen risked danger to travel all the way to Jiangnan to find me. I think that's enough!"
"But that's fake news!"
"Even if it's fake news, Yuechen doesn't know it, yet he still rushes towards me without hesitation. Doesn't that prove his love for me?"
The Empress was speechless for a moment. "Fine, since you've made up your mind, then don't regret it later!"
"Your subject will never regret it!"
Thus, Ji Xuan finally received the imperial decree granting her marriage.
The Empress was somewhat annoyed, and then looked at the Crown Princess standing to the side, "Yu'er, what do you want!"
"Your subject, your subject also desires an imperial decree granting us a marriage!"
"What, you also want to be with one person for life?" The Empress's eyes narrowed.
The Crown Princess immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly said that Ah Jing was her savior, so she wanted to ask for an identity for him.
"Then bestow him upon you as your concubine. A village boy is enough!"
Seeing that the Crown Princess didn't react after she finished speaking, the Empress asked again, "What, do you have any other questions?"
The Crown Princess hurriedly shook her head, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your permission!"
