Chapter 494 [The Legend of Zhen Huan 29]
Yinzhen entrusted the ceremony of establishing the empress to the Imperial Household Department, but the dates chosen by the Imperial Household Department were all far in the future. As the end of the year was just a few months away, they really couldn't find a suitable date, and the nearest date would be the beginning of spring next year.
Yinzhen felt that this was inappropriate, and he wanted to learn from the process of marrying wives of previous emperors. That's right, it was not to establish a queen, but to marry a wife, so that Youyou could enter the palace through the Daqing Gate with dignity and become his first wife. After all, they had never held a formal wedding, which made Youyou suffer a lot of grievances. So, this time, he had to make it up to her no matter what.
In this way, after Youyou spent the New Year in the palace, Yinzhen personally sent her back to Niuhulu's home. Yinzhen told Youyou to make good preparations at home and wait for him to come and marry her.
Niuhulu Alinga was surprised and puzzled when he saw Youyou coming back. He originally thought that Youyou would never come back after returning to the palace. However, to his surprise, Youyou not only came back, but also brought the emperor's decree to let Youyou marry out of the family.
Mrs. Niuhulu, Wu Ya, had never seen You You since you entered the palace. Although the palace had news that the emperor loved You You very much, Wu Ya was still worried. Until this moment, when she saw You You standing in front of her safely, Wu Ya's heart finally settled down. As long as You You was not wronged, that was enough.
Yinzhen was reluctant to let go and hugged Youyou tightly, unwilling to let go. He repeatedly told Youyou to remember to miss him and asked Youyou to write to him every day.
Youyou felt helpless about this, she had never thought that the emperor would become so clingy. But since she had chosen this man, she could only pamper him.
Now, the emperor has become Niuhulu Alinga's son-in-law, but Alinga is not satisfied. He thinks the emperor is not worthy of being his son-in-law. After all, the emperor is old, and his daughter is in her prime. Even if he marries a live-in son-in-law, it is better than marrying the emperor.
Niuhulu's wife, Wuya, certainly knew that once you enter the palace, you will be in deep water, so she didn't want her daughter to marry into the royal family. Because once she married into the royal family, if her daughter was bullied, her family would have no way to support her. Although the family power of Wuya and Niuhulu was not small, it was still far behind the royal family.
Therefore, she thought it would be better for her daughter to find an ordinary family, so as to avoid a lot of trouble. Moreover, ordinary families would not have as high requirements for daughters-in-law as the royal family, so her daughter could live more comfortably. However, these were all Uya's own ideas, and she did not tell her daughter.
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly, shining into the room through the window, bringing a touch of warmth.
Wu Ya came to Youyou's room early, with a happy smile on her face. She looked at Youyou, her eyes full of emotion: "Mother thought that my son would never have the chance to wear a red wedding dress and get married! When you were just born, mother and your father prepared your dowry together. And your mama and Fama also prepared a lot of good things for you! I originally planned to exchange all these things for banknotes and secretly send them to the palace when there was a chance. Now, all this is no longer necessary. Mother will definitely let you get married in a grand manner."
Youyou snuggled up to Wuya, feeling the warmth of her mother. She said softly, "Mother, I can't bear to leave you."
Seeing her daughter so innocent, Wu Ya couldn't help but shook her head and said with a smile: "Silly child, you are still young and don't know the rules of the palace. After entering the palace, everything must be done according to the rules and you can't do whatever you want."
Youyou pouted and said with a wronged look, "What should I do? I don't want to be away from my mother for too long."
Wu Ya patted her hand gently and comforted her softly: "Youyou, you have grown up and you will have to get married eventually. When you marry into the palace, you will no longer be as free as you are now, but this is also the inevitable journey for every woman."
After hearing this, Youyou's tears welled up in her eyes and she choked up and said, "Mother, what should I do if I miss you in the future?"
Wu Ya touched her head distressedly and comforted her: "Don't worry, mother has an imperial decree. If you miss you, you can submit a sign to the palace to request to enter the palace."
Youyou blinked and said firmly, "No! This is too troublesome, and you have to look at other people's faces. Mother, I will ask the emperor to give you a token so that you can come to see me anytime, anywhere."
Wu Ya waved her hands quickly and said seriously: "Youyou, this is not allowed! The palace has strict rules, how can they be broken because of us? Besides, mother can't do such a thing that breaks the rules."
Youyou was a little anxious and explained quickly: "Mother, don't worry, I believe the emperor will agree to my request."
Seeing her daughter so innocent and lovely, Wu Yashi was filled with love. She sighed softly, knowing that her daughter had been spoiled since she was a child, so it was inevitable that she would be a little willful. But she believed that as long as Youyou entered the palace and slowly adapted to life there, she would naturally become sensible.
Wu Ya held Youyou's hand tightly, her eyes full of concern: "Youyou, tell mother, is the emperor treating you well?"
Youyou felt warm in her heart and nodded gently, "The emperor treats his daughter very well. He always gives me first priority when it comes to everything. The emperor gets along with his daughter just like my mother and father."
After hearing this, Wu Ya was slightly relieved, but then frowned again, "Are you trapped? Are you in love with the emperor?"
Youyou's heart skipped a beat, her face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head shyly.
When Uya saw this scene, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She realized that her daughter had different feelings towards the emperor.
Youyou was silent for a moment, then raised her head, with a firm light in her eyes, and said softly, "Not really. The emperor and I like each other. To be precise, the emperor likes me more than I like him. The emperor said that I will be the only woman in the future, and he won't want other women. Mother, I'm telling you in secret. The emperor plans to disband the harem. He has discussed this with me before, and it will probably be after our wedding."
Upon hearing this, Wu Ya's eyes widened with astonishment, "Really?"
Youyou nodded and answered affirmatively: "Yes, mother will know when the time comes."
After hearing this, Wu Ya smiled with relief, but soon became serious again. She gently stroked Youyou's hair and said softly, "Mother, I don't know if what you said is true, but mother has one thing to remind you, don't give your heart to others too early, it's easy to get hurt. Many men nowadays are unreliable. They say this today, but turn around and deny it tomorrow. I hope my son doesn't meet the wrong person."
Youyou nodded firmly, indicating that she understood her mother's worries. However, she firmly believed in her heart that the emperor's feelings for her were real. Although she had also heard about the intrigues and power struggles in the palace, she was willing to believe that their love could stand the test.
Wu Ya looked at her daughter's determined eyes and sighed in her heart. She knew that her daughter had grown up and had her own ideas and judgments. As a mother, she could only silently bless her and hope that her daughter would be happy.
"Mother, the emperor won't do that. I believe him." Youyou said.
Wu Ya smiled and said softly, "Okay, if that's the case, then Mother won't say anything more. Just remember, no matter when and where, Mother will always support you. If you are wronged or encounter difficulties, be sure to tell Mother, and Mother will help you."
Youyou hugged Wuya gratefully, her eyes filled with emotion and warmth.
