Chapter 421: Chapter 385: Xiao Jinyan is so considerate, it’s overwhelmingly touching_2

At this moment, Xiao Jinyu walked in with Miss Han, and upon seeing Shen Chuwei on the couch, he said, "Sister-in-law, you’ve finally come back."

Shen Chuwei lifted her head to look towards the doorway, where two tall figures strode in side by side, both possessed of stunning looks and impressive physiques that brightened the room instantly.

Having seen Xiao Jinyan’s handsome features and Ye Chu’s ethereal beauty, Shen Chuwei could now calmly behold the attractive couple before her.

"Prince Jinyu, Miss Han, you’ve arrived."

Possibly because Xiao Jinyu always brought her delicious treats on his visits, she subconsciously checked his hands, only to find them empty this time.

"Little Uncle, how come you’ve come empty-handed?" Shen Chuwei followed the babies in calling him Little Uncle, implying it was the babies who wanted treats, not her~

This time, Xiao Jinyu had come in such a hurry that he’d forgotten to bring even a small trinket...

"Sister-in-law, I was in a rush this time, but I’ll definitely bring you some tasty treats next time."

Having said that, Xiao Jinyu’s gaze turned to the dragon and phoenix babies on the couch, where Susu was lying on her brother, lifting her little head and staring at him curiously.

Since the babies looked alike, they were distinguished by the color of their clothes.

Xiao Jinyu clapped his hands toward the little sister, "Susu, let your Little Uncle hold you."

Susu stopped playing with her brother’s nose and happily reached out her hands to Xiao Jinyu, wanting to be held.

Xiao Jinyu’s heart melted at the sight of Susu’s gesture for a hug, "Susu is just too adorable."

Susu, as if understanding the compliment, grinned even wider with joy.

Xiao Jinyu picked up Susu and said to Miss Han by his side, "Miss Han, just look at Susu, isn’t her smile sweet?"

Miss Han watched as Susu’s little hands clutched at Xiao Jinyu’s collar, her smile curving beautifully around her eyes.

Turning to Miss Han, Xiao Jinyu’s peach blossom eyes softened, "Why don’t you give me a smile too?"

Miss Han pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, then tried to force a smile.

However, she was so unaccustomed to smiling that her attempt appeared rigid and strained, as though she were smiling at knifepoint.

Seeing the difficulty she had in smiling, Xiao Jinyu decided not to trouble her further, "You hold Susu and look at her more. After a while, you’ll learn to smile too."

Miss Han, with Susu thrust into her hold, saw that the baby didn’t seem shy around strangers. Held by Miss Han, Susu continued to smile joyfully, trying to grab at the pearl necklace around her neck.

Xiao Jinyu watched Miss Han holding Susu and envisioned a family of three in his mind, thinking it wouldn’t be bad to have a daughter as endearing as Susu.

"See, Susu seems quite fond of you as well."

Miss Han looked down at Susu, who was earnestly playing with the pearl necklace, her little mouth occasionally forming a delightful curve.

Perhaps she is somewhat adorable~

Xiao Jinyu raised his head to congratulate Shen Chuwei with a smile, "Sister-in-law, congratulations on becoming the Crown Princess. Soon, I will be able to call you Sister-in-law openly and rightfully."

Shen Chuwei, who was eating a Date Paste Crisp, lifted her head to look at Xiao Jinyu, her eyes and brows bending, "Every time you visit, just bringing some tasty treats will suffice."

"No problem, in a few days, I plan to take Miss Han out of the palace. I’ll bring back something delicious for you then." Xiao Jinyu was worried Miss Han would find staying in the palace stifling, so he often took her out for a change of scenery.

Xiao Jinyan arrived when Susu, tired out from playing, had already snuggled up and fallen asleep next to her brother.

"I’ve already had Lu Zhaoyan calculate an auspicious date, and by tomorrow, we will have a result."

Shen Chuwei mused, "It feels like I’m living in a dream."

Ever since she had transmigrated to this ancient era, she found it incomprehensible, yet had managed to stumble upon and marry a steadfast Crown Prince.

And incredibly, she, a person with no title and no background, had become the Crown Princess~

Xiao Jinyan understood her sentiments; he had never expected to find himself so eager to marry someone, someone indispensable to him.

"Although there is no civilian Bridal Sedan to ride, there is the imperial sedan, equivalent to the Bridal Sedan, and no less grand than the cars you’ve mentioned."

Shen Chuwei was taken aback at his remembrance of the civilian bridal customs from over a year ago.

He even remembered her casual mention of cars.

She had just been speaking off the cuff at the time...

Xiao Jinyan then inquired, "Are there any other wedding customs you’d like to share with me? Whatever can be done, I will do it."

After more than two years of being together, Xiao Jinyan had come to realize that Xiao Jiu might not be from Daxia, her origins unknown to him but certainly far from Daxia.

Shen Chuwei asked curiously, "Your Highness, are we going to have another wedding?"

Xiao Jinyan nodded, "The ceremony to establish the Crown Princess and the formal wedding is a necessary process. As the future Empress, it naturally has to be a grand affair."

Shen Chuwei asked with interest, "Then, are we going to drink the wedding cup?"

Xiao Jinyan nodded, "Of course, as wedlock partners, the wedding cup is an important ritual."

He looked at her with an amused expression, "Are you that interested in the wedding cup?"

"Just curious," she replied. She easily became drunk, so how could she be interested in wine?

The next day, Lu Zhaoyan calculated the auspicious date, which was to be on the eighth day of the following month.

With the date set, the Ministry of Rites began busily preparing for the Grand Ceremony.

This was their second time arranging such an event, so they were quite familiar with the process.

After the Emperor settled some urgent matters, he headed to Fengyi Palace.

The Empress, having finished her bath, was examining a half-finished little garment, imagining how Susu might look wearing it.

At the entrance, Qing Ying saw the Emperor arriving and knelt to greet him, "Your Majesty, may you be blessed with peace and good health."

The Emperor inquired, "Where is the Empress?"

Qing Ying bowed low and replied, "Your Majesty, the Empress is feeling unwell and has already retired to rest."

"Why did she suddenly feel unwell? Could it be a cold? Has the Imperial Doctor been called?"

The Emperor spoke as he swiftly walked inside.

"The Imperial Doctor has already examined her and advised that the Empress needs to rest quietly," Qing Ying announced.
