Chapter 489 The wedding is approaching
He felt that this guy was just shirking his responsibility!
Ye Xuanqi's heart moved: Is his expression so obvious?
But his face remained calm, as if he was doing it for the greater good: "How could your Majesty think so? I really want to complete the great cause of unifying the world first."
Emperor Qinglong: This kid is really using this as an excuse to shirk his responsibilities!
However, Emperor Qinglong did not expose him. Instead, he coughed for a while before speaking: "Fourth Brother, my body has been poisoned by Shen Yaoqin for so long that it has damaged its foundation. I don't know how many years I can live. I just want to spend a few years of comfortable life with the imperial concubine while I still have some energy. I think you will agree to it, right?"
Ye Xuanqi: How can this be considered moral kidnapping?
He said cheerfully, as if he hadn't heard it, "Father, don't worry. Yunxi said that your health has improved over the years and is no less than before."
"And Uncle Tian also said that my father is destined to live a long life and will surely live forever."
Emperor Qinglong: “…”
I am so grateful to that father and daughter!
They want to tie him to the throne and squeeze out all his lifespan before they will rest!
Emperor Qinglong was about to say something when Ye Xuanqi interrupted him, "Father, I want to set a date for the wedding with Yunxi. How about we discuss everything after we get married?"
What Emperor Qinglong wanted to say was successfully blocked, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Did Xi girl agree?"
Ye Xuanqi nodded and said happily: "So please ask Father to discuss with Uncle Tian to set the wedding date."
Thinking that he had finally brought the little girl back to be his daughter-in-law, Emperor Qinglong was so happy that he forgot everything else.
"It has to be settled now."
Emperor Qinglong was already thinking about drinking tea with his daughter-in-law and holding his chubby grandchildren in his arms: "I will discuss this with Wentian right away!"
Among all the emperors in the past dynasties, is there any one like him who, at his age, not only has he not seen his grandson, but has even never seen the shadow of his daughter-in-law?
Thinking about it, he felt sad for himself.
The second and third sons also paid the price for the wrong things they did in the past.
The second child, in particular, is now confined to a wheelchair and unable to get up, but he refuses to receive medical treatment and is punishing himself in this way.
All his time was spent teaching the people how to farm and develop water conservancy, and he put everything he had learned and was good at to use for the people.
In his words, this is atonement.
With this in mind, he never thought about getting married and having children. He even ridiculed himself that a man like him should not drag down a good woman.
As for the third brother, his whole mind is now focused on making money, and he even declared that he would use his own strength to fill up the national treasury and make the country rich.
With a money-grubber look who sees everything as if it were gold and silver, how could he be interested in women?
"Father, please don't worry. In my life, I only have money and possessions in my eyes. I don't want to bother with anything else. So instead of urging me, it's better to let the fourth and fifth sons get married as soon as possible."
Listen, what kind of nonsense is this?
Emperor Qinglong was so angry that he almost passed out. He also secretly asked the eldest princess to look for a girl for him. What if? What if they were attracted to each other?
But it turned out that he was overthinking.
Now the third brother has made the eldest princess so angry that she said she will no longer care about him.
So, he could only focus his attention on the fifth brother.
However, that brat was even more infuriating than the second and third brothers. He said that he had no plans to marry or have children in his lifetime, and if he was forced again, he would take medicine to make himself inhumane.
Emperor Qinglong was so angry that he almost passed out.
If Eunuch Sun had not taken the medicine from Song Wentian in advance to calm him down, he would have died in the eyes of his ancestors.
As for the fourth brother, there was no way he could tolerate anyone else in his heart or eyes except Xi Yatou.
Xi girl has been in a coma for the past three years. The fourth brother is in pain, and the court officials have put too much pressure on him. How can he, as a father, continue to put pressure on him?
Besides, wouldn't it be a betrayal to Xi Yatou if he asked her to marry someone else? Wouldn't she be sad and upset when she woke up?
So, no matter what the reason, he couldn't force the fourth brother.
In this way, several years passed, and none of his four sons got married. He began to wonder if they had all become monks in their previous lives and were reincarnated.
So how could he not be happy when he heard the news that Ye Xuanqi was finally getting married?
The marriage between Song Yunxi and Ye Xuanqi was decided amidst the cold face of Song Wentian and the sarcastic remarks of the three brothers Qin Xubai.
Song Yunxi asked Ye Xuanqi: "How is your succession going?"
Although she decided to stay with him for the rest of her life, she really didn't want to be trapped in this deep palace for the rest of her life.
So if he succeeded to the throne, wouldn't she have to stay in the palace?
Ye Xuanqi smiled slyly: "Don't worry, I won't let you be trapped in the harem. After we get married, we will go to the border together and take Northern Chu into our pockets first."
Hearing him say this, Song Yunxi's eyes lit up: "Really?"
She had long wanted to go to the border, hoping to put what she had learned to good use and also to witness the process of unifying the country with her own eyes.
"Of course it's true."
Ye Xuanqi leaned close to Song Yunxi's ear and whispered something. The more he spoke, the brighter Song Yunxi's eyes became.
The smile on Ye Xuanqi's lips deepened: "So you must make sure that father lives a long life."
Song Yunxi patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
She not only wanted Emperor Qinglong to live a long life, but also wanted him to live a healthy and vigorous life.
After the discussion, Song Yunxi looked at Ye Xuanqi and sighed: "As expected, you are still insidious!"
Otherwise, she still had to rely on her own son to make plans. She couldn't think of such a vicious trick at all!
Ye Xuanqi was both amused and confused: "I'll just take it as a compliment from you."
"Of course I'm complimenting you!"
Song Yunxi said seriously: "It is said that one can learn until he is old. You want Master to live and work until he is old!"
Inside the Chongzheng Hall, Emperor Qinglong, who was playing chess with Song Wentian, sneezed violently several times, completely unaware that his own son had tricked him to the point where not even a trace of him was left.
The wedding date of Song Yunxi and Ye Xuanqi is approaching. This time, the Imperial Observatory did not interfere. The date was chosen by Song Wentian himself. Song Yunxi naturally returned to the Imperial Master's Mansion to live.
Elder Wen led everyone from Shengyun Mountain to the capital. General Dingguo, the Queen, and Ye Youran, who were far away on the border of Xidi, also returned.
The capital city, which had been quiet and peaceful for a long time, became lively again because of their wedding.
Outside the Imperial Master's Mansion, a figure watched from afar as the door of the Imperial Master's Mansion opened and closed. He wanted to go up and inform someone several times but he never had the courage. He stood there until dusk before giving up and leaving.
The man left the gate of the National Master's Mansion but did not go far. Instead, he went to Ye Xuanke's Prince Qi's Mansion not far away.
