Shaohua is Junqing

Chapter 210 Extra 4

I don’t know how much time had passed, the sky gradually darkened, Beitang Mo Ran slowly woke up, and was surprised to see Si Yu lying beside him.

"Siyu, Siyu." he called and patted her gently with his hand.

Siyu rubbed her sleepy eyes and said, "You're awake."

"How long have you been here? Why didn't you wake me up?"

"Uncle Fu said you were too tired from practicing martial arts, so I just wanted you to sleep a little longer, so I didn't disturb you."

"But if you just fall asleep like this, what if you catch a cold?"

"You are blaming me. Aren't you the same? You don't even lie down properly when sleeping and you don't even cover yourself with a blanket." She pouted her lips in anger.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault, it's my fault, don't be angry."

"That's more like it. By the way, Uncle Fu said you went to rest without eating, so I asked Uncle Fu to prepare some delicious food and bring it to you."

Siyu stood up to get the lunch box, but suddenly screamed in pain and fell down.

"What's wrong? Where are you hurt?" Beitang Mo Ran asked nervously.

"Nothing, just my legs are numb."

Siyu grinned, looking very painful, Beitang Mo Ran quickly helped her up and sat her on the bed.

"Which leg?"

"Right leg."

Beitang Mo Ran slowly lifted her right leg and gently massaged it with his fingers.

Siyu grimaced in pain, "Don't... don't move, just stay like this, it will be fine in a while."

Beitang Mo Ran felt distressed and guilty when he saw her in so much pain but could do nothing about it.

Siyu sat down and relaxed, and her right leg gradually recovered.

She stood up slowly, and Beitang Mo Ran carefully supported her. "How are you? Are you feeling better?"

"Much better."

With the help of Beitang Mo Ran, Si Yu came to the table and opened the lunch box. "The food is cold. I'll go heat it up."

"Don't bother with that. Sit down first. I'll find someone to handle it."

Beitang Mo Ran went out and asked the maid to take the food away.

"My legs were just numb, that's all, but it's fine now."

"Don't do this again." Beitang Mo Ran said in a tone that sounded both commanding and doting.

"Okay, I get it. Then you have to promise me that you won't do this again in the future."

"I promise you."

"That's pretty much it."

The second day, the Imperial Palace, Baohedian.

"Hahahaha, that's great." The emperor's hearty laughter was heard in the palace, which surprised all the palace maids and eunuchs serving him.

"My uncle has finally made up his mind to marry Shao Hua. I have long known that you two are in love, but I have never heard you mention the matter of marriage. I was so anxious. However, this is a matter between you after all, so I couldn't ask too many questions. Now it has finally come to fruition and you have got what you wished for!" The emperor was so happy when he heard that Beitang Mo Ran and Si Yu were going to get married that he couldn't stop smiling.

"Siyu is lively by nature and doesn't like being restrained. I don't want to erase her nature, so even though I like her very much, I don't want to keep her in a cocoon."

"Then why now?"

"Siyu and I have been through a lot since we met, and I think it's time to give her a home. Siyu lives in my house as a princess. Although she has my care, the emperor's protection, and a few good friends, she is still alone and has no real family around her."

Thinking of this, Beitang Mo Ran and the Emperor were also quite touched.

"Siyu is always smiling on weekdays, but I have seen her looking sad a few times. She even mentioned that she didn't know where her parents were. I think she must be homesick."

"The fact that the royal uncle cares so much about Shaohua shows that he truly loves her. The royal uncle is the prince, and Shaohua is a princess personally appointed by the queen mother. They are both people of noble status, so a royal wedding must be grand and solemn."

"Your Majesty, you know that Shaohua and I don't like those red tapes."

"I know. I will order the Ministry of Rites to take full charge of the wedding ceremony. All unnecessary and fictitious ceremonies will be simplified. You and Shaohua will also skip the ceremonies that you don't need to attend. You will only show up at important points and try to complete the wedding ceremony as quickly as possible."

"Your Majesty, I and Shaohua thank you for your grace and understanding."

"I will issue an imperial decree to grant the marriage tomorrow and order the Imperial History Bureau to choose an auspicious date."

"Your Majesty, I and Shaohua thank you for your grace."
