Chapter 249 Marriage
Chapter 249: Marriage

"Yes, I obey your command!" Ye Xuan did not dwell on the experience on the island and quickly adjusted his mentality.

After finding a carriage, Ye Xuan personally helped Zhu Huan get on it, and then he sat at the front of the carriage to drive the horse for Zhu Huan.

In a trance, Ye Xuan seemed to be back on the island, and time seemed long yet passed in a flash.

Before we knew it, the carriage had arrived at the Meridian Gate.

Ye Xuan handed the whip to the Jinwu Guard who came after hearing the news, and took the reins handed to him by Wang Feihu.

After entering the Meridian Gate, Ye Xuan and Zhu Huan will part ways here.

Zhu Huan returned to his Kunning Palace, while Ye Xuan needed to go to Wuyindian to report to Zhu Yuanzhang the entire process of arresting Hu Weiyong and confirm Hu Weiyong's actual situation with Zhu Yuanzhang.

After all, Hu Weiyong was involved in a major case of treason and had colluded with the Japanese pirate Prince Huailiang from Japan. Ye Xuan had to personally confirm the news of Hu Weiyong's death so that Zhu Yuanzhang could rest assured.

Just as they were passing the curtain of the carriage, Zhu Huan's voice suddenly came from inside the carriage.

"Husband..."

The voice was quiet, but it reached Ye Xuan's ears very clearly.

Ye Xuan raised his lips slightly and whispered, "Madam, what did you call me for?"

A shy voice came from inside the car, "My husband, don't you want me to bear a dozen children for you? Then...my husband needs to hurry up and propose marriage."

"Haha!" Ye Xuan responded with a loud laugh, immediately jumped on his horse, raised the whip high in his hand, and headed towards the Wuying Palace.

…………

"So, the traitor Hu Weiyong has died in the sea?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked solemnly while sitting on the dragon table.

Ye Xuan clasped his fists and replied, "Your Majesty, I saw with my own eyes how Hu Weiyong defeated the sea of ​​fire and then the ship sank. It is absolutely true!"

"Hahaha, good!" Zhu Yuanzhang patted the dragon table lightly, stood up and walked to Ye Xuan, patted his shoulder and said, "Ye Xuan, I am still very confident in your work!"

"But it would be too easy for him to just let him die in the sea of ​​fire. I wish I could skin him alive and stuff him with straw!"

Zhu Yuanzhang cursed fiercely for a while, then looked at Ye Xuan with a smile on his face, "Ye Xuan, you have done a great service to me again!"

"Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Originally, with Ye Xuan's character, whether it was a polite remark or a sincere one, Ye Xuan should have said: "It is my honor to serve Your Majesty. I dare not ask for a reward for my small contribution."

Even Zhu Yuanzhang had already prepared what kind of reward should Ye Xuan give if he refused.

Promotion, reward or title?
However, the next moment Ye Xuan actually made a request, "Your Majesty, I dare not refuse your reward, but I do not want a promotion, nor do I want gold, silver, or jewelry."

"Oh, then what do you want?" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately became interested after hearing that. Most people in this world only want promotion and wealth, but Ye Xuan doesn't want either, so what does he want?
Ye Xuan smiled slightly, looked up and looked directly into Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes for the first time, and said word by word: "Your Majesty, I want to be your son-in-law!"

…………

"Your Highness, why would you let the Emperor send the princess to study at Beishan Royal Manor? What good is there in that remote place?"

In Kunning Palace, Cui'er, who survived a disaster, asked curiously while combing Zhu Huan's hair.

In a smooth bronze mirror, Zhu Huan was reflected in a shawl and a phoenix crown. Zhu Huan took out the rouge paper from her mouth, looked at her full, fiery red lips in the mirror with satisfaction, and said with a bright smile, "The prince consort likes it. He said that the good air in the countryside can help people live longer."

Cui Er chuckled and said jokingly, "Isn't this what the common people say: Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog? Wherever Lord Ye likes, our princess will follow."

"Damn Cui'er, you want to be beaten again, right?" Although Zhu Huan said this, he did not look angry at all. Instead, he looked happy and sweet.

"I dare not!" Cui Er begged for mercy, and then said nervously: "I have something I don't understand."

Zhu Huan glanced at Cui Er charmingly and said, "There are things that you, a little elf, don't understand. Tell me."

Cui'er stammered and her face turned red.

"Um... Your Highness, why didn't you follow the palace rules and send out a trial maid before you got married?"

Zhu Huan glanced at Cui'er, whose face was blushing, in the bronze mirror and said with a meaningful smile, "I heard that when you were in Quanzhou Prefecture, you were nearly attacked by a group of hooligans. Fortunately, the prince consort arrived in time to save you. Is that right?"

"You were almost naked at the time, and you were held in the arms of your husband. Am I right?"

As Zhu Huan's two answers were both right and wrong, Cui'er's face turned red like a cooked crab, "Your Highness, you...you should stop talking!"

"Hahaha!" Zhu Huan covered her mouth and laughed softly. After a long while, she said, "Do you really think that this princess doesn't know your little thoughts?"

"I'm afraid that when the prince consort saved the beauty that day, you, a little slut, have already fallen in love with her, right?"

Cui Er was both shy and surprised when she heard this. "Your Highness, when did you become so vulgar?"

After hearing these words, Zhu Huan couldn't help but be stunned.

When did it start? It seemed like it was during the days spent with Ye Xuan on the reef. Whenever Ye Xuan was intimate with her, he would always spit out foul language. At first, she found it unbearable to hear, but later, after hearing it more often, she actually felt a strange stimulation and could not help but respond to Ye Xuan's words.

The more I listened, the more I learned without realizing it.

Thinking about it now, Zhu Huan was so shy that he wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it.

But then she changed her mind and thought that she would experience that long-lost feeling again tonight on her wedding night, and she couldn't help blushing and her heart beating fast.

"Your Highness, why are you blushing?" Cui'er was quite surprised. It was Zhu Huan who was embarrassing her, but why was she the one who was embarrassed first?

Seeing Cui Er's thoughtful expression, Zhu Huan quickly changed the subject: "Humph, anyway, I have already made a private appointment with the Prince Consort, and I will treat the beauties in his house with courtesy. There are about four or five of them, not to mention a maid like you."

Cui'er was surprised and happy when she heard this. She was surprised because from what Zhu Huan said, there were several beauties in Ye Xuan's mansion, which was obviously inconsistent with the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty.

The good news is that, precisely because he had so many beauties, Zhu Huan had a sense of hopelessness and actually took the initiative to add one more to the Prince Consort's Mansion.

That is myself.

Cui'er was so overwhelmed by the huge surprise that she didn't even bother to think about the shocking thing.

I was just thinking with both anticipation and anxiety, would the princess and her husband be allowed to serve them in their wedding night tonight?

Not to mention what Cui was thinking in her heart, time passed slowly without her noticing, and in the blink of an eye it was already the auspicious time.

After being properly dressed, Zhu Huan stood up and walked out of Kunning Palace and headed towards Fengxian Hall.
