After Nangong Rui and the Empress left Zhaoyang Palace, Situ Mo smiled and shook his head gently. He then said,""Alright, this king has also been here for a long time. It's time to return to the wang fu. The two of you can chat slowly, this king won't accompany you.”
"Brother Wang, take care.”Yu Yan and Huangfu Chen said politely.
"Biao Older Brother, why don't we go to the Funing Palace to look for Imperial Mother now and mention to her that we will go to the Prime Minister's Estate to congratulate her the day after tomorrow.”Yu Yan said impatiently.
"Will the Empress Dowager really agree to your request? After all, the day after tomorrow is General Nangong's wedding. If it's really as Prince Yu said, there will definitely be a lot of people coming to the Prime Minister's residence to congratulate him. There will definitely be some dishonest people mixed in. If something happens again and something goes wrong, no one can afford it.”Huangfu Chen reminded her worriedly.
"No, there are so many bad people in the world. Cousin is really overthinking.”Yu Yan smiled and said nonchalantly.
"It's better to be careful." Huangfu Chen reminded her gently.
"Oh, alright." Yu Yan pouted and nodded.
"Let's go." Yu Yan and Huangfu Chen walked out of Zhaoyang Palace and went to Funing Palace together.
On the way, Yu Yan did not hold Huangfu Chen's arm to avoid the suspicion and guesses of the eunuchs and palace maids.
Instead, he walked beside Huangfu Chen and talked to him happily as he walked towards the Funing Palace.
When they arrived at the entrance of Funing Palace, the eunuch outside shouted,""Princess Zi Xuan has arrived.”
Yu Yan and Huangfu Chen walked into the Funing Palace together. At this moment, the eunuchs and palace maids of the Funing Palace had already knelt on the ground.
"Your son greets mother." Yu Yan walked forward and bowed to the Empress Dowager.
"This lowly subject greets Empress Dowager!" Huangfu Chen knelt on the ground and bowed.
"Get up." The Empress Dowager gently instructed them.
"Thank you mother, thank you empress dowager."
When the Empress Dowager saw Yuyan and Huangfu Chen walking together and even going to her Funing Palace together, she could not help but feel a little confused. Why was Yuyan with Huangfu Chen?
"Xuan 'er, why did you come here with Chen' er?”The empress dowager looked at Yu Yan and asked tentatively.
"Mother, your son met Huangfu Shizi by chance in front of the royal study yesterday. After Bing 'er mentioned it to your son, your son found out that Huangfu Chen was your son's cousin, so today cousin came to Zhaoyang Palace to visit your son. We chatted in the palace for a while, and your son wanted to come to Funing Palace with cousin to visit mother.”Yu Yan explained.
"So that's how it is, good child.”The empress dowager's face immediately revealed a gentle smile.
"Come, Xuan 'er." The Empress Dowager waved at Yuyan.
Yu Yan walked over to the Empress Dowager and sat down beside her. Huangfu Chen stood there and waited without moving.
"Mother, the day after tomorrow, General Nangong will be getting married. At that time, the Prime Minister's Estate will definitely be very lively. Your son wants to go to the Prime Minister's Estate to congratulate him, and hopes that mother will grant him permission.”Yu Yan began to mention to the Empress Dowager that she would be going to the Prime Minister's residence the day after tomorrow to offer her congratulations. However, she wondered how the Empress Dowager would react after hearing this.
Just as Prince Yu had said, the empress dowager immediately turned to look at Yu Yan with a serious expression.
"The day after tomorrow, there will be so many people going to the Prime Minister's Estate to congratulate you. There will be many people mixed together. You are the princess of a country, and your identity is exposed. How can you go to such a place so easily? You should stay in the Imperial Palace and not go anywhere.”The empress dowager reminded her.
"Mother, your son wants to go and take a look, so please let your son go. How can there be so many bad people? That is the Prime Minister's Estate, and it is also the wedding of General Nangong. There will definitely be heavy guards there, so nothing will happen. Moreover, most of the people who go to the Prime Minister's Estate to congratulate are officials of the Imperial Court.”Yu Yan saw that the Empress Dowager was adamant against her going to the Prime Minister's residence to congratulate her, so she quickly held onto the Empress Dowager's arm and pestered her.
"Mother is also doing this for your own good. If anything happens to you in the Prime Minister's Estate, who can bear the responsibility?”The empress dowager gently reminded her.
"There won't be any mistakes, mother. If you really can't rest assured about your son, then your son can bring more guards to the prime minister's residence. Or else, you can let cousin accompany your son to the prime minister's residence. Cousin's martial arts are so good that ordinary people are not his match. He will protect your son's safety and nothing will happen.”Yu Yan mentioned Huangfu Chen in front of the Empress Dowager as a reason to go to the Prime Minister's Estate to congratulate her.
The empress dowager was still hesitant after hearing Yuyan's words.
Seeing that the empress dowager was still unwilling to agree to her request, Yuyan let go of the empress dowager's arm. She turned to look at Huangfu Chen, who was standing at the side. She gave him a look, signaling him to put in a good word for her in front of the empress dowager.
Huangfu Chen understood the meaning in Yu Yan's eyes. He turned around and looked at the Empress Dowager. He bowed and cupped his hands,""Empress Dowager, don't worry. This lowly official will definitely protect the princess 'safety in the prime minister's residence. There won't be any mistakes. Since the princess wants to go to the prime minister's residence to congratulate so much, you should let her go.”
Seeing Huangfu Chen speaking up for Yuyan, Yuyan sat beside him with anticipation.
The Empress Dowager knew that Yuyan loved to watch the show. She would naturally want to go to a grand wedding.
The empress dowager did not spoil Yu Yan's mood and agreed to her request.
"Alright, this widow will agree to your request. However, when you go to the prime minister's residence the day after tomorrow, you must bring more guards with you. You can't go to the prime minister's residence alone, understand?”The empress dowager turned to look at Yuyan and gently grabbed her hand.
"Many thanks mother, your son understands.”Seeing that the empress dowager had finally agreed, Yu Yan quickly stood up and bowed to the empress dowager. She was extremely happy.
"Then this minister and cousin will take their leave first.”Yu Yan bowed.
"Go ahead." The empress dowager smiled gently.
The Empress Dowager's face was filled with a loving smile as she watched Yuyan and Huangfu Chen hop out of the Funing Palace.
Yu Yan and Huangfu Chen walked out of the Funing Palace together. At this moment, Yu Yan was extremely excited.
This was the first time she had attended someone else's wedding since she came to the mortal world. The groom was the Great General of the Tianqi Kingdom and the younger brother of the Empress. She really did not know how lively the wedding scene in ancient times was.
In the past, in the modern era, she had only seen the wedding scenes of ancient people from ancient TV dramas. She had never experienced it personally.
The day after tomorrow, she would be able to personally go to the Prime Minister's residence to see how lively and luxurious the wedding scene of the ancients was.
Moreover, she had Huangfu Chen by her side. Yu Yan felt very happy. She hoped that this day would come soon.
"Biao Older Brother, your words are still useful. If it wasn't for you speaking up for me in front of mother, mother wouldn't have agreed to my request so quickly.”Yu Yan looked excitedly at Huangfu Chen, who was walking beside her.
"The empress dowager is also thinking about your safety, so she doesn't want you to go to the prime minister's residence to congratulate.”Huangfu Chen reminded her gently.
"I know that mother is doing this for my own good and is afraid that something will happen to me outside the palace. However, no matter how lively the Prime Minister's residence is, it will be the wedding of General Nangong after all. There will definitely be heavy guards in the residence and outsiders will not be allowed in easily.”Yu Yan stopped in her tracks and looked at Huangfu Chen mischievously.
"Biao Younger Sister is really smart to think of this.”Huangfu Chen said dotingly.
"Yes." Yu Yan nodded excitedly.
"Cousin, come to Zhao Yang palace to find me the day after tomorrow. I'll wait for you in the palace.”Yu Yan coquettishly instructed Huangfu Chen.
"Okay, okay, okay. I will definitely do it." Huangfu Chen said dotingly.
