She refused to marry.

Xiao Xuanjing frowned. "My feelings for my wife are genuine."

Su Wanwan pushed him away, "I don't believe it. If I hadn't been clever, I wouldn't have been able to leave the Princess's residence at all."

"After you went in, I waited outside. When I saw that you didn't come out for a long time, I wanted to go in. Who knew that you would come out of the warm pavilion? You were like a ray of light, Madam." Xiao Xuanjing chuckled.

"You're still laughing?" Su Wanwan pinched Feng Chenjun's cheek.

"Madam, I was wrong. At that time, you were getting close to the Crown Prince, and I only wanted you to stay. I didn't want you to have any more involvement with the Crown Prince. I was too hasty." Xiao Xuanjing touched her hand.

"Fine, I won't argue with you." Su Wanwan was displeased.

"I'll drink it." Xiao Xuanjing handed him a glass of wine.

Su Wanwan finished drinking and hadn't even put the cup down when there was a loud bang, followed by fireworks soaring into the sky.

Su Wanwan was mesmerized by the scenery before her.

The shouts from afar grew louder and louder.

"fireworks……"

"What beautiful fireworks."

……

Su Wanwan was immersed in the blooming fireworks when, in the next moment, warm lips pressed against hers, sucking on them wantonly.

She was almost suffocating from the pressure.

He pushed her away forcefully, annoyed, "Be gentle."

"Okay." Xiao Xuanjing rolled over and pinned her down, slowly approaching her.

Su Wanwan's chest pounded.

Who can bear this.

Is watching the fireworks more important, or is it seeing the man in front of her being bewitched by her?

She seemed unwilling to miss out on anything.

The next moment, a warm, moist touch came close to my lips.

The two then shamelessly rolled into the cabin.

Just as Su Wanwan was getting excited, Xiao Xuanjing suddenly stood up, picked her up, and said, "Madam, look."

Su Wanwan looked up and saw a splash of purple, dazzling and soaring into the sky, drawing exquisite arcs.

Then another purple...

The last streaks of color streaked across the night sky like a dream, then fell like ears of rice.

The two embraced and watched the whole thing until the curtain fell. In the distance, on the edge of the city, the sounds of iron-making fireworks and dragon lantern dances rose up.

This attracted many people to stop and watch.

"How wonderful," she couldn't help but exclaim.

"Does Madam prefer a prosperous and flourishing era?" Xiao Xuanjing lowered his eyes.

"Yes." Su Wanwan nodded emphatically.

Who wouldn't love a prosperous and flourishing era?

"Then I will grant you a prosperous and glorious world, shall I?" Xiao Xuanjing held her hand tightly.

Su Wanwan raised her eyes. "You're not a king; how can you control the emperor?"

"If I could, would you be willing to marry me, Madam?" Xiao Xuanjing's eyes were deep.

Su Wanwan took a deep breath, hesitating to respond.

This statement has two layers of meaning: the kidnapping of the young emperor to ascend the throne, or, more profoundly, the rebellion.

"This humble woman only wishes that Your Majesty may live in peace and prosperity year after year, and that we may meet every day like swallows on a beam."

"Little fox, are you willing to marry me, to live a harmonious and loving life together?" Xiao Xuanjing asked earnestly.

Su Wanwan lowered her eyes, "If it were only Your Majesty, I would naturally be willing, but if it involves others, I'm afraid I cannot do it."

"Little fox, what are you worried about?" Xiao Xuanjing's heart tightened.

"It's true that I like you, and it's also true that I'm afraid to marry you. I don't know your family, and your family might not be able to accept me." Su Wanwan didn't dare to look up.

"Silly girl, whatever position I hold in the court, that's what you'll hold in the manor." Xiao Xuanjing smiled and pulled her into his arms.

Su Wanwan was a little out of breath.

"Your Majesty, my wish is to be with only one person for life. Your Majesty holds a high position and great power, and you will surely have to produce many offspring for the General's Mansion in the future. I'm afraid I can't do that." Su Wanwan wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Children are a matter of fate, Madam, there's no need to worry." Xiao Xuanjing happily grasped her shoulders. "Would you like to watch the fish playing in the water, Madam?"

Su Wanwan joked, "Where did you get fish playing in the water from?"

Xiao Xuanjing took out a round fish basin from the cabinet, with a Bagua diagram drawn on the bottom.

There are two fish in the water. As the fish swims through the black and white area, the color of the fish changes accordingly.

From this day forward, we will be like two fish in a tank, seemingly swimming at opposite ends, but actually sharing the same world. I am your body, and you are my heart. From this day forward, we will never be apart.

After hearing this, Su Wanwan felt a tightness in her chest and knew that it was not the right day to say anything so resolute.

We can only enjoy the present moment.

That night, she was both happy and sad.

The sense of uncertainty in my heart has increased even more.

After the meal, Feng Chenjun escorted her back to her residence and then went back to attend to official duties.

Su Wanwan rested for a night, had breakfast, and then went to Jinse's room.

Jinse looked at the dowry list and was slightly shocked.

"Is it all right? If anything is missing, add it and I'll take care of it right away?" Su Wanwan glanced at him.

Jinse lowered her eyes and remained silent, taking a sip of tea. "Thank you, Sister Wan."

"Take good care of yourself and wait for the Jiang family to propose marriage. We'll also set the date then." Su Wanwan suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right, the Princess's residence is hosting a banquet in a few days, and we have to go too. We can't be impolite. What do you think we should bring as a gift?"

"Can I go?" Su Jinning jumped out.

"Of course we have to go. Your brother has done a great service. How can we not go?" Su Wanwan said with a smile.

"Is the Pei family going too?" Su Jinning gestured.

"They should go; not going would be disrespectful to a victorious general."

Everyone was speculating about Jin Ning's ulterior motives.

"I'll prepare this gift. Sister Wan has already worried enough about me, so don't worry, I won't be impolite." Jinse raised the corners of her mouth.

"Alright, thank you for your trouble, Sister Jinse."

"Miss, Miss, you're all here. A lot of people have arrived outside, saying they've come to propose marriage." The doorman walked up to the door, panting. "The Second Madam is receiving them. Please ask the Third Madam to come over."

"Is it the Jiang family?" Su Jinse asked, raising her eyes.

"Yes, it seems so." The doorman wiped his sweat.

"Good sister, I won't go. Now that the new son-in-law has come to visit, I need to hurry up so that I don't miss out on my dowry."

Su Wanwan went straight to the back door, got into a carriage, and went to the shop. Cuizhu was already skillfully handling the accounts.

Qiu Shi was waiting for the shop assistant to come and report on the progress of her dowry.

Upon seeing the young lady, he stepped forward to greet her, "Miss, what can I do for you?"

"The Jiang family has already come to propose marriage, we need to hurry." Su Wanwan entered the shop, and the people inside all bowed to her.

"Everything feels different now?" Su Wanwan felt a little uncomfortable.

Qiu Shi glanced at Cui Zhu and said, "This girl is quite capable. She keeps her subordinates under her thumb. I almost fell for her tricks."

"She's someone close to my maternal grandmother. If she didn't have some skills, how could she have gotten to her grandmother's side? You should learn from her." Su Wanwan walked in.

Upon seeing this, Cuizhu hurriedly came out from inside and said, "Greetings, Miss."

"Are you getting used to it?" Su Wanwan asked.

"Yes, Miss, I'm used to it. Brother Qiushi is very kind to me. I've never received such treatment before. I must repay you properly." Cuizhu said softly, her eyes involuntarily turning to Qiushi.

Qiu Shi quickly turned her face away.

Su Wanwan chuckled softly.

"Second Miss, this is the list of gifts that have already been delivered to the manor." Qiu Shi took out the booklet from her bosom.

After reading it, Su Wanwan said, "Not bad, I trust you to handle things."

"Second Miss, someone's been watching us lately." Qiu Shi pointed outside. "They don't even come forward. I wonder what they're up to. They don't seem like good people."

Su Wanwan looked over, and the burly man suddenly stood up, strode in, and said, "Second Miss, how have you been?"
