Chapter 39 Imperial Edict of Marriage (2)
After Qin Yaoyao received the imperial edict, everyone stood up. Qin Yunji looked at He Yanxi in astonishment and questioned, "Why was this imperial edict of marriage suddenly issued? Did you do this?" He Yanxi nodded in admission without any attempt to hide his feelings.
Qin Yunji's eyes widened, and he said with a hint of reproach in his tone, "You've gone too far! Don't take advantage of your status as a prince to act recklessly and force others!" However, before he could finish speaking, He Yanxi interrupted him, "Sister Yao'er agreed voluntarily."
Qin Yunji was speechless for a moment, but still turned to look at Qin Yaoyao in disbelief, and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Little sister, is what he said true? You really agree to this marriage?" Qin Yaoyao smiled slightly and nodded to indicate her approval.
Qin Yunqi, standing to the side, looked at his foolish younger brother and shook his head helplessly. He said, "Don't you understand your little sister's personality? If she didn't want to, how could she be so calm? And how could she willingly suffer without making a fuss?" Qin Yunji looked around as if waking from a dream, seemingly hoping to find the answer in the expressions of others. Sure enough, everyone looked like they knew the answer.
Qin Yunqi added, "Of course, otherwise, given my younger sister's personality, Yanxi probably wouldn't have been able to finalize this matter so quickly if she hadn't agreed." Qin Yunji thought about it carefully and realized it was true. His younger sister never compromised; if she was unwilling, she would definitely fight back and would never be so compliant. With this in mind, Qin Yunji's doubts were dispelled.
Looking at her children, the mother said with expectant eyes, "Yaoyao will be of marriageable age in two months. She can't be like you, still no sign of marriage." She then glared at her brother. Afterwards, Qin Yaoyao, holding the imperial edict, returned to her courtyard with He Yanxi.
He Yanxi sat quietly at the table, while Qin Yaoyao obediently poured him a glass of water and said with a smile, "Brother Yanxi is so quick! You've already gone to the palace so early." He Yanxi gazed at the busy Qin Yaoyao and replied softly, "I went last night." Qin Yaoyao was slightly taken aback and asked in surprise, "So, after leaving here last night, Brother didn't return to the Prince's Mansion but went directly to the Imperial Palace?" He Yanxi nodded gently, indicating his agreement.
A smile appeared on Qin Yaoyao's lips as she softly said, "Why rush? Going today is the same, and I'm not going to run away." He Yanxi held Qin Yaoyao's hand tightly and said affectionately, "I just want to marry Yao'er as soon as possible. I really don't want to wait until today." His eyes revealed sincere emotions, as if she were the only person in the whole world.
Qin Yaoyao's lips curled slightly, and she chuckled softly, "Silly boy." Hearing this, He Yanxi immediately said, "I will come to propose marriage in a couple of days, is that alright?" Qin Yaoyao smiled charmingly and replied, "Of course, that would be wonderful. I also look forward to marrying you soon, brother." Upon hearing this, He Yanxi's face instantly flushed red, and he said with great joy, "Then I will go back to prepare the betrothal gifts and come to find you again tonight." Qin Yaoyao blinked her beautiful eyes and replied with a smile, "Alright, then I will wait for you here, brother." After saying this, He Yanxi slowly got up, turned around, and left.
Watching He Yanxi's receding figure, Qin Yaoyao felt a surge of joy and contentment. She secretly rejoiced at being able to return to this world and reunite with her beloved. This time, she resolved to stand firmly by He Yanxi's side, no matter what difficulties or challenges they might face.
"That's wonderful, Brother Yanxi!" Qin Yaoyao murmured softly, her eyes sparkling with happiness. She knew this relationship was hard-won and understood that only through hard work and dedication could she protect this precious bond. In the days to come, she would love and support him with all her heart, becoming his strong pillar of strength.
Qin Yaoyao imagined the wonderful times she would spend with He Yanxi in the future, her heart filled with anticipation. They might go through thick and thin together, growing together; they might face various trials, but as long as they stood shoulder to shoulder, they would surely overcome all difficulties. And she also believed that in this process, their feelings for each other would grow stronger and stronger, until they were forever.
