Chapter 203 might be a misunderstanding!
On the way to Feiying Hall, Xin Moyan always had a faint smile on her face, looking very happy.
"Yan'er, what did you talk about with them? Why are you so happy?"
Xin Moyan subconsciously released his hand, made a shushing gesture, and said mysteriously, "This is a matter of national importance, I have to keep it a secret."
The warmth in his palm was abruptly withdrawn, and he let out a soft hum through his nose, "Yan'er has now joined forces with them against a common enemy."
"That's not how you use 'shared hatred against a common enemy'!" Seeing him staring at her hand with a sullen expression, Xin Moyan quickly took his hand and shook it with a grin.
"Xuanyuan, let me tell you, His Majesty just rewarded me with 100,000 taels of gold!"
"So that's why you're so happy? Yan'er likes gold?"
"Who would turn down money? Besides, His Majesty is really generous."
"If Yan'er likes it, I will have Fei'e go to Junjing Pavilion later to take out all the gold stored in the storehouse and send it to the General's Mansion."
"No, no, no!"
She waved her hands repeatedly, then seemed to remember something, stopped abruptly, her eyes curving into crescents, and leaned forward to ask, "Xuanyuan, do you have a lot of gold?"
"Yes, a lot." He was overjoyed by the sudden closeness.
"Really?"
"If Yan'er agrees to marry me, I have even more gold and silver jewelry, a amount you can't even imagine."
Xin Moyan abandoned her usual shyness and instead said shamelessly, "Hehe~ It's a deal then, all your money is mine."
Seeing how cute and mischievous she was, the man's mood instantly lifted, and his eyes filled with doting affection, "She's all yours."
With a swift movement, Xuan Yuan pulled her into his arms, and as their eyes met, a blush crept onto Xin Moyan's cheeks. "Xuan Yuan, we're in the palace!"
He lowered his voice and started acting like a rogue along with Xin Moyan, "I don't care. I just told the Empress Dowager at Yongning Palace that I will be coming to propose marriage to you soon and ask you to be my wife. How about I hug you now? I also want to... I also want to kiss you!"
"you……"
Xin Moyan pushed against his chest with both hands, while his waist was tightly held by her, and the two were in a tethered and ambiguous position.
Seeing her growing increasingly shy, Xuan Yuan felt a sudden urge to tease her. He slowly lowered his head and gradually approached her lips...
"Hey! Hey! Hey! In broad daylight, you guys are getting more and more outrageous!"
Hua Buyu's voice suddenly came from behind, startling Xin Moyan so much that she reflexively shrank back and hurriedly broke free from his embrace.
Interrupted from his good time, Xuan Yuan turned around and growled in a gloomy voice, "Hua Buyu!"
"Hey~" she quickly responded, then hopped over to him, crossed her arms, and grinned mischievously.
"What...were you doing just now?"
"I...we're about to come find you! Buyu, what did you and Uncle Xie talk about?" Xin Moyan blushed and deliberately changed the subject.
Hua Buyu didn't answer. Instead, she stroked her chin and said thoughtfully to Xuan Yuan, "Boss, how come I didn't know that Feng Qingyang was acquainted with the Imperial Advisor before?"
He raised an eyebrow. "You mean, Feng Qingyang is in Feiying Hall?"
"Hmm! By the way, Yan Yan, what did the Emperor want to see you about?"
"We were just discussing some things, so I'll remain silent. His Majesty just rewarded me with 100,000 taels of gold; I'm rich again!"
The three walked side by side toward the palace gate, chatting as they went, but Xin Moyan was still sandwiched between them.
"Yan Yan, your cousin is amazing! He just said a few words and he threw away 100,000 taels of gold?"
Xin Moyan nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, I think His Majesty must be very rich to be able to spend money so lavishly."
"Yan'er, could you please not mention him again?"
"Boss, this is just normal chatting. Don't be so possessive!"
Ignoring the other person's expression, Hua Buyu excitedly said, "Yan Yan, take me to meet your emperor cousin sometime! Maybe if I sweet-talk him, I can get some gold like you!"
“Okay! Oh right, Buyu, I won’t have to walk in the palace anymore. When I have the chance, I’ll ask Eunuch Wang if I can arrange a sedan chair for you too.”
The two stopped abruptly and turned to look at Xin Moyan in the middle.
"Yan Yan, what do you mean you won't have to walk in the palace from now on?"
"Well... I just made a suggestion, and His Majesty was so pleased that he rewarded me with half of a palanquin, saying that I won't have to walk around the palace anymore, hehe~"
"What did you say?" Hua Buyu exclaimed, her eyes wide with disbelief.
Xuan Yuan's expression inevitably turned cold. He had just discussed with the Empress Dowager about marrying Yan'er as the Princess Consort of Xuan, but he never expected that she would actually make her intentions public.
Why are you looking at me like that?
She pointed at Xin Moyan's nose and asked seriously, "Yan Yan, tell me honestly, what else did the Emperor say to you?"
"No! Besides, Prime Minister Lou and Prince Ze were there too, and they didn't say anything. Is there a problem?"
Seeing the heavy atmosphere around her, Hua Buyu became anxious, "Yan Yan, half of the emperor's regalia is the empress! Half of the emperor's regalia is called the phoenix carriage, and your cousin wants to make you empress!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuan forcefully pulled her shoulder up, lifted her chin, and said seriously, "Yan'er, isn't his intention obvious enough now?"
Xin Moyan felt flustered and confused under his serious gaze. "Xuanyuan, I didn't know that was called Feng Nian. Perhaps... perhaps His Majesty just doesn't want me to walk too much?"
His cold eyes narrowed instantly, and Xuan Yuan frowned, slightly disappointed, saying, "He is the ruler of a country, how could he act so recklessly? Yan'er, you are making excuses for him again, what do you mean by this?"
She waved her hand and hurriedly explained, "Xuanyuan, don't be angry. According to what you said, that was the Empress's phoenix carriage. Then I won't sit there. When I go to the banquet tonight, I will explain to His Majesty and ask him to withdraw this reward. Besides, His Majesty has always been very good to me. I can't see that His Majesty thinks this way. Maybe it's a misunderstanding!"
Xuan Yuan's expression softened considerably. He reached out and gently pinched her cheek, saying helplessly, "It will be too late by the time you realize it, Yan'er. Tonight, I will publicly ask him for a royal decree to grant us marriage, shall I?"
"Huh? This... so sudden? At least wait for my brother to come back!" Her cheeks were getting hotter and hotter; this was all so unexpected!
"Only when he agrees to grant the marriage can everything be considered. I will go to apologize to your brother when he returns."
“Yan Yan, I think Xuan Yuan is right. Your cousin, the emperor, has already let you sit on the phoenix throne and phoenix carriage. It’s basically announcing it to everyone. By the time he makes you empress, it will be too late.”
Seeing Xin Moyan hesitate, she couldn't help but stomp her fire even higher, "Or... do you not like Xuan Yuan? Don't you want to marry him?"
"Yan'er, you?"
