Chapter 918 - The wedding in three days
Xiao Jiuyuan’s heart ached as he held the skinny Empress Dowager in his arms and cried.
“Mother.”
In the bedroom, Yun Qianyu and Xiao Yechen accompanied him in tears.
Xiao Jiuyuan was sad for a while. Knowing that there was something important to do, he quickly looked up at Yun Qianyu and said,”
“Yu ‘er, we’ll get married in three days.”
Yun Qianyu was surprised and asked,”the wedding in three days? Why are you in such a hurry?”
She didn’t object to the three-day wedding, but why was it so urgent?
Xiao Jiuyuan turned to look at the Empress Dowager on the bed and said in a low voice,””This is the last thing my mother will do for me.”
In fact, his mother had done many things for him, but just as she had said, the difference between him and the previous emperor was that he was not her child. So when he faced the previous emperor, she could only choose the previous emperor. She had no choice.
If he was born by his mother, he believed that his mother would be the first to not abandon him.
Mother.
At this moment, Xiao Jiuyuan forgave the Empress Dowager.
In the palace, Yun Qianyu suddenly understood what the Empress Dowager meant.
If she had a funeral, Xiao Jiuyuan, as her son, would have to mourn for a year, and their wedding would be delayed again. That was why the Empress Dowager insisted on waiting for them to return to the capital and wanted them to get married three days later.
For a moment, Yun Qianyu’s heart was filled with complicated feelings. She couldn’t tell what she was feeling.
If the Emperor and Xiao Jiuyuan were to face each other, the Empress Dowager would definitely choose to stand by the emperor’s side.
Therefore, she was a pitiful woman.
“Alright,” Yun Qianyu said,”the wedding will be held in three days.”
“But there’s one more thing I need to deal with.”
Xiao Jiuyuan got up and went out, followed by Yun Qianyu and Xiao Yechen.
The two of them saw that he was holding a bright yellow silk scroll in his hand. It looked like it was an order from the Grand Empress Dowager.
He didn’t know if the Empress Dowager would let Xiao Jiuyuan inherit the throne or someone else.
Yun Qianyu didn’t know how to react.
If Xiao Jiuyuan became the new emperor of Dongli, would they be able to do anything else?
A country could not go a day without a ruler, so he would not be able to leave.
What about master and his wife?
Yun Qianyu suddenly became worried.
Xiao Yechen, who was beside her, was quite happy because after the ninth Imperial uncle became the Emperor of Dongli, the an Prince’s residence would be stable. They would be more relaxed in the future, so that every Emperor would not have to keep an eye on the an Prince’s residence.
When the ninth Imperial uncle became the Emperor, he wouldn’t care about the military strength of the an Prince’s residence.
The group of people walked straight out of the palace where the Empress Dowager lived. When they entered the main hall, Xiao Jiuyuan ordered the palace maids in the hall.
“Immediately summon all the officials outside into the main hall.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
The palace maids did not dare to be careless. This person was likely to be the future God of Dongli state, so they did not dare to offend him.
The palace maid went out and called out. The ministers kneeling outside all got up and walked into the hall.
As soon as they entered the hall, they saw Xiao Jiuyuan holding a bright yellow silk scroll in his hand. At a glance, they knew that it was the decree of the Grand Empress Dowager.
It seemed that they had guessed correctly that the Empress Dowager had passed the throne to Xiao Jiuyuan.
This was Dong Li’s future emperor. Everyone was happy and afraid at the same time.
“We pay our respects to li Prince.”
Xiao Jiuyuan nodded and handed Emperor Ming’s silk scroll to Bai su. He asked Bai su to hand it to the minister of rites and read it in the hall.
The minister of rites immediately received the order.
