Chapter 424 You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder
Should I agree to him?
To be honest, she had feelings for him, but she knew the gap between them and came to her senses in time.
And now, he has cut through all obstacles and taken ninety-nine steps towards her. Should she take the remaining step towards him?
Shen Qionghua was touched that Xie Nanyuan could do this for her.
But while she was moved, she also knew clearly that all of this was based on Xie Nanyuan's love and respect for her.
Xie Nanyuan loved her and respected her, so he was willing to use his military merits in exchange for a promise to reassure her.
But what if Xie Nanyuan no longer loves her in the future, or falls in love with someone else?
If you don’t love someone anymore, why would you still care about a promise?
If a person truly changes his mind, even with this imperial decree, it will probably be of no use.
What's more, this promise concerns a man's face, and it is likely to become a thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his flesh.
If Xie Nanyuan really has the opportunity to ascend the throne and change his mind in the future, he will not want to let her go or divorce him. He has ten thousand ways to save his face.
Only after this imperial edict was published did she have the right to divorce her husband. After all, even Xie Nanyuan could not go against the will of the late emperor, otherwise those officials' jealousy would drown him.
But Xie Nanyuan didn't want to be an abandoned husband and become a laughing stock in the eyes of the world, so he could be more ruthless and make her a widower before she took out the imperial edict.
Now that she is dead, there is no question of whether she can divorce her husband or not.
His face and that of the royal family were saved.
So even if Xie Nanyuan made this promise to her, if something unexpected happened in the future, they would still have to fight.
It's just that she has a better chance of winning.
Shen Qionghua gradually calmed down, staring at the pen, and the more he thought about it, the clearer his mind became.
Xie Nanyuan had no idea what Shen Qionghua was thinking. Seeing that she had not taken the pen for a long time, his eyes darkened slightly, thinking that Shen Qionghua was unwilling.
Deep down, he didn't want to force her, so he could only suppress his disappointment. The corners of his mouth curled up in a very forced arc, and he said slowly with a stern face: "It's okay. If you still need time to think about it, I understand."
"This imperial edict is here. When you figure it out, you can write your name on it. I can wait."
After Xie Nanyuan finished speaking, he was about to withdraw his hand and put down the pen.
Just as he slightly deviated in his direction, he heard Shen Qionghua say, "Don't think about it. I have already made a decision."
Immediately afterwards, a pair of slender white hands took the pen from his hand.
Shen Qionghua held her sleeve with one hand and held the pen with the other, and wrote the three words "Shen Qionghua" in a flamboyant manner on the blank space of the imperial edict, and then threw the pen away.
He looked at Xie Nanyuan and said, "This is my answer."
She is willing.
Even if she still had concerns, even if there was still a possibility in the future, at least at this moment, he was sincere to her.
He exchanged his military merits for such an imperial edict, and was even willing to be scolded by the emperor in order to make her such a promise.
Such intentions made her feel that if she missed Xie Nanyuan, she would probably never meet a man who treated her as wholeheartedly as Xie Nanyuan.
She even had a vague feeling that if she refused, she would regret it in the future.
But she didn't want to do anything that would make her regret.
So, just go with it, follow your heart.
Even if there are changes in the future, that is a matter of the future.
At least at this moment, he was worthy of her firm choice.
She shouldn't give up her present happiness for the pain of the past and the illusory things that have not happened in the future.
Xie Nanyuan is not Xie Qian'an, and she is not Shen Qionghua in her previous life. Some things should have passed long ago.
It was not until this moment that Shen Qionghua felt that she had truly walked out of the haze of her past life, and those things seemed to be getting farther and farther away from her.
Shen Qionghua's movements were so smooth and efficient that Xie Nanyuan looked at the words on the imperial edict and didn't know how to react for a moment.
He had already decided to face failure, but suddenly he was greeted with light. The surprise came too quickly, and even Xie Nanyuan felt like he had been hit by a pie in the sky.
He looked at Shen Qionghua, then at the imperial edict, and finally reached out and gently stroked the words on the edict to make sure that he was not hallucinating. Then he slowly smiled.
Although he was sure that Shen Qionghua had feelings for him, she always restrained her feelings, which made him sometimes wonder if he had misunderstood her and if all this was just his own wishful thinking.
It was not until today, when everything came to fruition, that he felt truly certain that he and Shen Qionghua were truly in love with each other.
Xie Nanyuan was so happy that his wish came true.
Now that he is about to have a formal status, he will naturally have fewer concerns when doing things.
"Shen Qionghua, I knew that you weren't completely innocent towards me!"
His dark pupils seemed to be filled with stars. He picked up Shen Qionghua by the waist and spun her around several times.
Shen Qionghua was about to get angry when she heard this, but was frightened by his sudden action and quickly hugged his neck tightly, "Xie Nanyuan! Put me down!"
Xie Nanyuan put the person down, lowered his head, and kissed her cheek hard, which looked like a peach blossom in March.
Shen Qionghua's eyes widened, "You...how could you do this!"
Xie Nanyuan took it for granted, "Since you agreed, you will be mine sooner or later. What's wrong with a kiss?"
It's not a kiss.
Xie Nanyuan stared at Shen Qionghua's red lips and said silently in his heart.
Hearing these words that were no different from those of a scoundrel, Shen Qionghua almost laughed out of anger. Just as she was about to curse, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Xie Nanyuan's eyes.
She was so frightened that she immediately put her hand in front of her mouth and stamped her feet, saying, "Xie Nanyuan! If you continue to be such a scoundrel, I... I... I will erase my name from this imperial edict right now. I will no longer be the Princess of Rui. Whoever wants to be her can do it!"
As he spoke, Shen Qionghua reached out to take the pen.
Xie Nanyuan was so frightened that he immediately loosened his arms around Shen Qionghua's slender waist and snatched the imperial edict spread out on the table.
He carefully folded it and placed it on his chest. Then he looked at Shen Qionghua and said with a hint of doting in his helplessness: "Why are you so angry? What if you defile the imperial edict?"
This imperial edict concerns his happiness for the rest of his life, so he has to be careful.
Shen Qionghua snorted coldly upon hearing this and said, "Who told you to touch me? I'm telling you, before we get married, you're not allowed to do anything inappropriate, otherwise... humph! I won't marry you."
He looked fearless.
Does Xie Nanyuan dare to refute Shen Qionghua when he hasn't even married her yet?
Obviously he didn't dare.
There is no rationality left for men and women who are in love.
Shen Qionghua was a little temperamental, and Xie Nanyuan could only pamper her. There was no trace of the indifference and alienation he had when he first met Shen Qionghua.
He acts as if whatever you say is what he means.
However, it is obviously impossible for him to surrender just like that.
Xie Nanyuan has his own little thoughts.
His dark eyes flickered slightly, and he said softly, "Then when you decide on a suitable day, I will send a matchmaker to the Shen family to propose marriage."
You have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder.
Since you can't touch each other or do anything inappropriate before marriage, just get married as soon as possible.
