She refused to marry.

Su Wanwan felt uneasy after reading the letter.

Ying Zheng has moved into the Eastern Palace and become the current Crown Prince.

I wonder how his health is?

Judging from the letter from Feng Chenjun, Shen Yan was very satisfied with the new master of the Eastern Palace, but Ying Zheng still hadn't let go of his own feelings.

Su Wanwan then wrote a resolute letter and returned the ring along with it.

Perhaps, there is a chance for things to turn around.

Not long after, news arrived in Shu that the new crown prince was diligent in his duties and wanted to personally come down to inspect the situation.

Su Wanwan's palm trembled. Had Ying Zheng not let go yet?

She felt helpless.

It's good that she came. If Ying Zheng had come and seen that she was six months pregnant, he might have given up.

That day, Su Wanwan was resting at home when she suddenly felt a strong longing for her husband, and she could faintly smell his unique fragrance.

She was deeply moved.

Has the longing reached this point already?

He immediately stood up, and in the instant he looked up, his gaze swept over the figure at the doorway.

For a moment, she froze.

Her husband was standing at the door, gazing at her intently, his eyes filled with a mixture of resentment and tenderness.

Xiao Xuanjing carefully reached out and embraced his wife, looking down at her face, his right hand gently resting on her abdomen. "Why didn't you tell your husband?"

Su Wanwan said coquettishly, "If I tell him, will my husband come immediately, take me back, or stay with me to rest during my pregnancy? None of these are good things. I think as long as we are safe and sound, that's all that matters."

"Little fox..." Xiao Xuanjing gently pulled his wife into his arms, "Little fox..."

He had a thousand words to say, but at this moment, only the three words "little fox" remained.

Although Su Wanwan was preoccupied with business, if it weren't for managing these matters, she probably would have been unable to suppress her longing for him long ago.

"Husband..." Su Wanwan tiptoed and gently kissed her husband's face.

Feng Chenjun lowered his eyes and responded deeply. After a moment of tenderness, he released his wife's face.

Su Wanwan was displeased. "Husband, we've been apart for so many days. Shouldn't a short separation make the honeymoon feel fresh?" With that, she tried to hook her husband's belt and lead him into the house.

Xiao Xuanjing's face was tense. He grabbed his wife's hand and whispered, "Someone asked me to pass on a message."

"What did you say?" Su Wanwan asked, displeased.

"Lu Huai'an wants to ask you, if there were another chance, would you give him that opportunity again?" Xiao Xuanjing held his wife's hand tightly.

He wanted to know too.

"Is my husband stupid?" Su Wanwan leaned against her husband's chest. "The person you love is right in front of you, why bring up the past..."

My husband is so foolish. It's such a good time for a short separation to make the honeymoon even better, why did he have to be so disappointing?

Su Wanwan frowned. "Besides, I'm already married to you, and you're still helping others with their questions. Tell me, do you have a lover outside?!"

"Heaven and earth bear witness, I have no such intention!" Xiao Xuanjing raised his right hand to swear.

Su Wanwan looked up, passed through her husband's arm, and saw the two people standing outside the courtyard.

Ying Zheng.

Shen Yan was standing next to him.

"Your Highness..." Su Wanwan was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses. It wasn't until her husband squeezed her palm that she came back to her senses.

"Let's go see the Crown Prince." Xiao Xuanjing put his arm around her waist, and the two walked slowly into the courtyard.

Su Wanwan bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."

Ying Zheng has recovered most of his health and looks as good as before, but his eyes are much dimmer.

Ying Zheng stood quietly, his gaze fixed on her face. With each step she took, his heart ached a little more.

If he wasn't lying to her, is there still a chance?

It is said that on her deathbed, Wanwan took a dagger and prepared to follow him.

He thought that as long as he had a chance to live, he would promise her a lifetime.

But when he woke up, Wanwan had already married someone else.

Upon receiving her resolute letter, he couldn't believe that Wanwan could be so heartless towards him.

It is clear that while she was intimately entwined with Feng Chenjun, his heart was completely broken.

The one she loved from beginning to end was that annoying Feng Chenjun.

No matter how passionate Wanwan is towards herself, she would never have such a tender and affectionate moment.

Especially when he looked at her pregnant body, he completely gave up at that moment.

After a long pause, he finally managed to say, "Congratulations, Madam Jun..."

After saying that, the pain in his heart pierced his flesh and could never come out again.

"Greetings, Madam Jun." Shen Yan bowed.

"Greetings, Miss Shen." Su Wanwan bowed.

I heard that Miss Shen entered the palace to serve Ying Zheng, but I don't know what her status is now. It's better to just call her Miss Shen.

"Has Your Highness found the answer you're looking for?" Xiao Xuanjing embraced his wife tightly, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Ying Zheng took a deep breath and looked away.

"The scenery is beautiful today. It has been a long time since I have dined with your wife. I would like to ask your wife to host a meal and let us taste the delicacies of Sichuan."

"Wanwan is happy to help." Su Wanwan chuckled, glancing sideways at her husband. "Since you've all come, let's ask the divine physician to come and take a look at your white hair and Your Highness's health. We can't have made this trip for nothing... Let's go."

The four of them strolled away from the courtyard.

Su Wanwan hosted a banquet at Juxiang Tower. Whether it was because the emperor had a high tolerance for alcohol or because he was keeping to himself, he did not get drunk for a long time.

The most confused one was Ying Zheng. After a few drinks, he started laughing like an idiot and cursing himself for not being human.

Then, holding Su Wanwan's hand, he kept apologizing.

Su Wanwan was touched. She had long since let go of the past and patted Ying Zheng on the shoulder, comforting him repeatedly.

Although Fengchen was displeased, in order to reassure Yingzheng so that he could sit in the position of Crown Prince, he allowed the two to behave excessively.

Shen Yan's eyes were filled with heartache, her heart and soul were filled with thoughts of the young master. If she hadn't disliked his illness earlier, perhaps she would have already won his heart.

After the banquet ended.

Ying Zheng was so drunk that he was unconscious, and Feng Chenjun ordered someone to take him to rest.

Su Wanwan was worried that the young master would not understand, so she asked Shen Yan to take care of him.

This mutual support led to the selection of the next crown prince.

Looking back on this day twenty years later, Su Wanwan realized that she had done the right thing.

night.

Su Wanwan took Feng Chenjun's hand and nestled beside him, feeling more at ease than ever before.

"My lord, when we return this time, what will happen to the Princess...?"

"Don't worry, my wife. Your husband has built the Fengchen Mansion, which is near the Su family's residence. Mother won't come to bother you. Now that you've married into the mansion, it's inconvenient for you to return to the Su family. So, please have the two elders come and visit often." Xiao Xuanjing held his wife's hand tightly.

"Thank you, my husband." Su Wanwan glanced sideways and smiled.

"Now that you are pregnant, has your wife decided on a name for the future heir?" Xiao Xuanjing's mind raced for a moment before a single word came to mind.

"Shunxin, can be male or female, peaceful and safe, may everything go smoothly year after year..." Su Wanwan's almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly. She had liked this name for a long time.

"Shunxin...Shunxin..." Xiao Xuanjing savored the name, "Shunxin is good, Shunxin is extremely good."

He raised his hand to tuck a stray strand of hair behind Su Wanwan's ear, his voice tender and affectionate, "My husband does have a word he has kept hidden for many years."

Su Wanwan tilted her head back, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling, "What word?"

Xiao Xuanjing slowly spoke, "Read it."

"Read it?" Su Wanwan blinked. Read what?

She still prefers things to go her way.

Wishing you a peaceful and prosperous year.

Xiao Xuanjing gently held his wife's fingers, "You are my little fox, and this child is what we both long for. Shunxin is a blessing, and Nian'an is a protection, so let's name him Xiao Nian'an, with the courtesy name Shunxin, is that alright?"

Su Wanwan's eyes welled up with tears. She buried her face in his chest and chuckled softly, "Okay, Xiao Nian'an..."

"Finish"
