Everyone who wanted to get rid of Xia Lian An, and separate her from crown prince Zhang had obtained her punishment.
Ruan Yi and his father were shown several times to have attempted murder against Xia Lian An, they were both sentenced to death. And the mother of Ruan Yi who heard her husband and son were put to death went mad, and was locked up in a dark prison.
Now Xia Lian An's hand had started to recover, even though she had not been able to move as freely as before.
"So my empress, when are we going to have a wedding? The ministers and the people have been wondering to the father of the emperor and the queen mother." Crown prince Zhang.
"I'll soon be healed, I don't want to make things difficult for you at the wedding. So please be a little patient."
"Alright, I've been waiting for you for years, so if you have to wait a few more days it doesn't matter."
"Thank you, you've been so patient with me."
Crown Prince Zhang clasped Xia Lian An's hand.
"You're the first woman who's managed to make my sleep soundly disturbed, so of course I have to be patient to get you who have disturbed it, so that my sleep back soundly."
"Hahaha, why don't I know if you're so good at saying sweet things like this?"
Crown Prince Zhang smiled, as he himself did not know since when he could speak like that to a woman.
"It turns out you two are here."
Xia Lian An and crown prince Zhang who heard the queen's voice, immediately turned their heads and stood up.
"Greetings to the queen's majesty." Xia Lian An.
"You still don't want to call me mom?" Queen's speech.
Xia Lian An looked at crown prince Zhang.
"Are you going to wait for Jiang'er to give you permission first?" The queen again.
"Mom.... I don't mean it like that, your majesty, I just...."
"If so you should start calling me mother, and call your highness the emperor father."
Xia Lian An nodded ".... Well queen mother, emperor father."
The queen and the emperor were overjoyed to hear Xia Lian An calling her father and mother like crown prince Zhang calling them.
"Everyone is waiting for your happy day." Emperor.
"Dad emperor, Lian'er's shoulder has not healed completely. We've agreed to have the wedding after Lian'er's shoulder has completely recovered." Crown prince Zhang.
"Alright, then mom will prepare from now on. Because I'm sure, it won't be a month for Lian'er's shoulder to heal."
"The queen mother doesn't have to do much, I don't...."
"Lian'er, let your mother take care of everything. We've been waiting for a long time like this." The emperor's words cut out Xia Lian An's words.
"Well if it's like that."
The Queen hugged Xia Lian An gently "Mother wishes you would always be happy, even though you would live outside of Ming country."
"Thank you mom."
The queen caressed Xia Lian An's cheeks, she was really very happy because her son found such a kind and wise woman.
"Tomorrow mother will bring some people to the eastern palace to measure your body, mother wants to make some clothes for you."
"Good queen mother."
The emperor and crown prince Zhang were happy to see the interaction of the two women they loved.
From afar, Min'er was also happy, as the crown prince Zhang's family was able to receive her brother very well within the royal palace.
Min'er was a man, and he was the only biological child of the Qing family. So of course he had to get out of Xia Lian An's house and have his own house after he married later.
Because of this, Min'er had secretly sold the house and all the land as well as the items that her parents had left for her.
Min'er does not want to live in the shadow of the past, which will only make him slump because of his great disappointment in both parents. He sold everything his father and mother left behind.
***
In the palace of Yue Ji, inside the royal palace of the Qin state. Empress Rui had heard that Xia Lian An would marry crown prince Zhang of Ming country.
This good news certainly made her very happy, because eventually Xia Lian An would marry a man who loved her very much.
"Eventually he'll get the happiness he's always wanted." Empress Rui said to herself.
Empress Rui rubbed her already enlarged stomach.
"Hurry to birth baby, I want to channel you with the nicest person in this palace, your mother and aunt Nuan."
"What makes your Majesty look so happy?"
Empress Rui saw concubine Nuan coming along with her loyal servant.
"Empresses..... Ah no, I mean Brother Lian, soon she will marry the crown prince of the Ming country."
"Sister Lian, you mean noble... Empress Yan?"
Empress Rui nodded "In a moment she will become the empress of the Ming state, so naturally I will have to call her with Brother Lian. I don't want her to keep remembering her name in this palace."
"Your majesty is right, for she will live happily with the person who loves her so much."
"Yes, I'm happy."
"Will the noble give a gift to Brother Lian?"
"Of course, he used to give us this pair of jade bracelets. I wanted to make her a jade bracelet, so she knew we'd always be with her."
"That's great, I'll also order a very beautiful hairpin for Lian's sister."
Empress Rui nodded happily.
All this time they had always seen Xia Lian An living in hardship and suffering, of course after hearing the happy news they were both very happy.
"Your highness, Brother Lian will marry the crown prince of the Ming country, who is none other than the noble friend of the emperor. Is it your majesty...."
"During this time the emperor's majesty never discussed it, perhaps he harbored everything himself."
Concubine Nuan nodded.
"Before I was pregnant, I once told her, if she had made a big mistake on Lian's sister. Maybe that's why he realized, if anything he did would never make Lian's brother come back."
"In the past, the noble emperor had indeed acted outrageously at Brother Lian. Which woman's heart so easily forgets her pain, and is treated so unjustly by her own husband."
"You're right, but finally Brother Lian has found her own happiness after coming out of this palace."
"Your majesty is right."
Concubine Nuan looked at the stomach of the already enormous empress Rui.
"What is our little prince doing right now?" Said concubine Nuan.
"Maybe he was sleeping, because a while ago he was moving non-stop. Like I wasn't allowed to sleep by her."
"Hahaha, really a very resolute emperor candidate. Even his mother was like that."
Empress Rui smiled, she rubbed her already big belly a few times.
