My Devil Emperor
Marriage and Farewell

The situation and crowded conditions in the morning before noon were heard welcoming the arrival of the Emperor and Empress. Yes, if they wanted to, ZiXuan and Yuan could have arrived on the same day they left, but Yuan chose to rest and look for lodging when the sun had set.

King Huang along with Queen Yin and several concubines greeted him in front of the hall. The wedding preparations are complete. It looks like it is ready to hold a wedding ceremony, just waiting for his presence.

"Greet His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress."

ZiXuan nodded accepting the greeting while Yuan walked quickly closer to his mother.

"Mother, I miss you" she said, hugging Queen Yin.

Queen Yin returned the embrace of her first daughter warmly. He rubbed Yuan's jet-black hair affectionately.

"Mother misses you too."

Zi Xuan walked over and stopped behind Yuan who was still hugging her mother.

"Is Mom okay?" tanya Yuan took off his embrace.

"Mother will be fine after seeing her children in good shape."

"Alright, alright. Since when did our daughter become so spoiled like this? Is His Majesty the Emperor troubled to take care of him?"

Yuan turned his head and saw King Huang teasing him. "Dad!" yang Yuan hugged his father.

"Thank you Emperor and Princess—Ah, I mean Empress Xuan already took the time to come to Ji'er's and Prince Liu's wedding." The remark made Yuan lift his face. He looked at Grand Concubine Zhuang who was standing behind his father.

Yuan released his embrace to King Huang. "Ji'er is my sister, of course I came," Yuan replied smiling at Concubine Zhuang. "Mother Consort Zhuang, how are you?" he continued, hugging the beautiful woman.

Gaining that overly sudden hug, Grand Consort Zhuang's face hardened. This was the first time he had gotten a child's hug. Although Ji'er was his biological son, but the girl did not even dare to look him in the eye. Ji'er is closer to Queen Yin, but she is also not too far from her birth mother.

If defined, Queen Yin was the type of a warm and loving mother whereas Grand Consort Zhuang was the opposite.

If Queen Yin loved all her children including the son of concubine Zhuang, then Selih Zhuang loved her daughter only even if it was not directly revealed.

But despite being close to Queen Yin, FengJi had traits that were almost similar to Grand Consort Zhuang. Like mother like daughter's.

If his son alone was not too close to him, how could YanLi? Of course not. Little YanLi never dared to even cross paths, the little girl always dodged. Then when YanLi grew up, she became a wise and humble girl like her mother. He remained respectful to Grand Concubine Zhuang but they were not as close as they currently were!

Yuan let go of his embrace and looked at the astonished Concubine Zhuang who was still sculpting. "There's an ap— You're all why look at me like that?" tanyanya's confused.

Because, other than ZiXuan, everyone who was there was like a statue. They were all astonished, even that also included King Huang and Queen Yin.

Yuan looked at ZiXuan with a questioning look, but the man instead put the shoulder on the sign he didn't know either.

"Dad, Mother." This time Yuan called out to his parents, making King Huang and Queen Yin come back to their senses.

"Ah, there is no. Let's go in first, the wedding's about to start. His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress please," King Huang said in a welcome statement.

Yuan went back to ZiXuan and stood beside him. They entered the Wei royal palace.

Elsewhere, FengJi sat in front of a mirror with some servants who helped her apply makeup.

Everyone in the room was so busy with their own chants that they were unaware of Yuan's presence leaning on the door of the room accompanied by Jingli who was behind him.

One of the waiters in charge of pairing the head accessories looked difficult.

Yuan walked over to them. "Give it to me."

The servants looked over and were shocked. "Daughter Yanli!"

FengJi who had lowered his head raised his head. He raised his eyebrows. "What are you saying? First brother is already the Imperial Empress, why still call her Princess?" Feng Ji stood up and turned his body towards Yuan.

"Greetings, Empress Xuan," he said, bowing. Then the servants followed him.

Yuan nodded and encouraged Feng Ji to sit back down. "Give it to me," Yuan said extending his hand. He began to wear the accessories on Feng Ji's head.

"You can go. Sister, I want to chat for a while with my sister," Yuan said without looking at the people behind him.

"Good."

Yuan tidied up some of his sister's hair. Her eyes occasionally glanced at the reflection of FengJi's beautiful face in the mirror. "I understand why you hate me so much" he said.

FengJi smiled cynically. "What do you understand? Can a much-loved princess understand the feelings of others who can't feel them?"

"That's just from your point of view. You yourself are suggesting that people are not being fair to you. It's true, there are some people who are like that but not all of them are."

"If Big Brother just wants to say that to me, then just keep it. I don't need it," FengJi said indifferently.

"Alright, alright. I don't talk anymore."

Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Who would you like to give it to me? A woman can have only one husband. You take it, I don't want it."

"You—"

"What's? Do you want me to have an affair with your future husband?"

***

The ceremony went well. FengJi is now officially the wife of Prince Liu.

"Thank you for the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor and Empress Xuan," FengJi and Prince Liu said together.

Yuan smiled while Zi Xuan nodded back at the words of the two new couples.

"May you live happily."

Yuan looked at Jingli who was behind him. Jingli nodded in understanding and brought a wooden box then gave it to Feng Ji.

"It—"

"Gift from us to you guys," said Yuan who understood Feng Ji's confusion.

Jingli opened the box.

"It's so beautiful!" His outstretched hand touched a pair of clothes that were inside the box.

Declaring admiration was also heard by Yuan from the people who saw him.

"Thank you, Brother and Sister-in-law," said FengJi lowering his head.

Everyone smiled to see it too. Unexpectedly, King Huang's first daughter was able to accept the marriage of her former fiance.

After the event was over, Yuan went with Jingli to the lotus lake behind the palace. While ZiXuan chatted with his father and some guests who came.

"It's still the same as it was a few months ago" Yuan recalled.

Jingli smiled warmly. "Yes, Empress. Although the imperial palace is vast and more beautiful, I still miss this palace."

"Sister, can you or someone get me the lotus? It seems like eating lotus root soup will taste good tonight," said Yuan who was taken in spirit by Jingli.

Yuan stared at the calm and clear water with the lotus flowers growing floating on some of its surface.

The sound of footsteps came from behind. Turning around, Yuan smiled and said, "Sister Jingli, you came back very quickly."

His smile disappeared when he saw another person standing in front of him.

"Why are you here?"

The man stepped closer. "How are you?" ask her while smiling.

"What is Prince Liu doing here?" Instead of answering, Yuan repeated his question.

"It wouldn't be nice if you were here, I'd go." Yuan walked past Prince Liu, but his steps came to a halt as Prince Liu restrained his wrist.

"Get your hands off!" said Yuan staring fiercely at the man.

"Xiao Li, I still love you and I'm sure you're the same. Give me a chance at least to help you remember our relationship again, I don't want you to regret and be sad."

"Prince Liu, keep your limits! If that's what you're worried about, then it's not necessary. I will not regret the decision I made, rather than regret it I had better live it. This action of yours, it's gone too far. You even dare to touch me?"

"Why are you like this? I never liked Ji'er. I can't be with her and I can't forget you."

Yuan brushed off Prince Liu's hand violently and it paid off. "Ji'er is your wife now."

"I don't care!" Prince Liu pulled back Yuan's hand, about to bring the girl's tiny body into his arms, but Yuan dodged it by throwing Prince Liu's hand into his hand, that circumstance made Yuan almost fall if Jingli did not come and restrained his body quickly.

"Sir, are you okay?"

The sound of a slap rang out loud for a moment after Yuan again stood straight in front of the man.

"Not know yourself! What did you say just now?no matter? But I care! If you hurt my sister, then I will never forgive you! In the future, never show your face again!" Yuan pointed at Prince Liu's face with his index finger.

The glint of disappointment was clearly visible in her beautiful eyes that had all this time seemed calm. To be honest, Yuan also did not know why he could sense this, but there was a hint of pain and anger in his heart.

"Prince Liu, our relationship is past. I hope you can forget it. Now, you and I don't owe each other anything."
