Chapter 295 You want a promise, right?
The promise she had written before was still in the purse. She called Cuizhu to search for the purse among the dowry.
When Song Junyan came out of the bathroom, he saw her sitting at the table with an agreement that looked very familiar to him spread out in front of her.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, and with a puzzled look on his face, he followed Lu Xinran's gaze and sat down beside her.
"This is?"
"Does Your Majesty still remember this promise?"
Song Junyan nodded. These were all the things he had asked her to agree to when she accepted the marriage.
Even after nearly a year, he hasn't forgotten it.
But why did she dig out this promise on her wedding night?
Lu Xinran pursed her lips, thinking about everything that had happened in the past year, and realized that it seemed inappropriate to bring up these things on the wedding night.
But what should we do next? We can't just keep messing around with him.
Some words may be meaningless in the future even if you say them now, but you still have to say them.
Seeing that he was still willing to keep the promise, she raised her hand and folded it up and put it back into her purse.
"Your Majesty, would you like to have some food first? We can talk after you finish eating."
People are less likely to get angry when they are full, so she still hopes that both of them can have the next conversation calmly.
Seeing that her face was particularly serious, Song Junyan had already guessed what she was going to say next, but he still went out and called the servants to bring some food over.
Lu Xinran looked at him with some confusion as he finished his dinner in such a graceful manner. When he turned to face her again, she took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"Your Majesty, you mentioned before that if I don't want to, you won't force me. Does that still count?"
Song Junyan felt a little cold in his heart, but there was no reason to go back on his word since he had already agreed to the request, so he nodded stiffly.
"Then the prince also said before that if I don't want you to marry a concubine, you can not marry a concubine, so this still counts."
"Count."
The tone was flat without any ups and downs, making it impossible to tell what he was feeling at the moment.
But Lu Xinran was still keenly aware of the disappointment he revealed.
Feeling his mood change, her heart suddenly relaxed, no longer tense as before.
"If I don't have any children for three years, how will the prince arrange for me?"
The overly realistic and sharp question made Song Junyan silent for a long time. The excitement and anticipation when he just came back now turned into the cold wind of winter, whistling and raging in his heart.
The big hand under the table had already clenched his collar, and he suddenly raised his drooping eyes and looked straight at her.
"If you have no children, and you want to stay in the palace, then continue to be the princess. If you don't want to stay, I will find a way to get the emperor to allow us to divorce and let you leave.
"Everything is up to you, I won't restrict you.
"You can rest assured that my promise is valid at all times."
His dark eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.
Lu Xinran felt frightened by her stare, but he still continued talking.
"But you desire that position. Aren't you afraid that I will ruin your good fortune?"
"Oh," Song Junyan suddenly laughed softly, "I desire, but there are so many people and things I desire, how can everything go as I wish? If you are worried, I can re-write a document for you now."
Lu Xinran clenched the purse in her hand, endured his self-deprecating laughter for a long time, and finally asked in a low voice.
"If you get that position, and one day become like your father, with concubines in the harem, will you be willing to let me go?"
This question was like catkins floating in the wind, turning and ending up in an unexpected place.
Song Junyan's heart suddenly felt itchy, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind, causing his dry and lonely heart to sprout again.
He leaned forward and got in front of her to take a closer look at her.
Just when she was feeling uneasy and wanted to look away, he pulled her hand in a hoarse voice.
"You want a promise, right? Promise that I will only have you no matter what happens in the future?"
Although her thoughts were revealed, Lu Xinran did not feel the slightest bit ashamed or angry. She turned her gaze back to the face that was so close to her.
"Yes, when I, Lu Xinran, get married, I hope that the other party will treat me wholeheartedly.
"And I will treat him wholeheartedly. When you love someone, you will be extremely selfish and unwilling to share with anyone.
"I don't know if I will love you in the future, but since you and I are already husband and wife, we should be honest with each other.
"Today we are newly married, it is better to make some things clear before it is too late than to have a falling out in the future.
“If you and I consummate our marriage today, then no matter what the circumstances may be in the future, I will be the only one.
"If one day you change your mind, I won't cling to you. As long as you are willing to let me go, it can be regarded as another kind of honesty."
Song Junyan listened to her quietly until she finished speaking. As the girl's cheeks became hot due to the slight smell of alcohol, he finally slowly moved away.
The red candle shed tears and made a crisp sound.
He stood up, took the wedding wine, cut it open, poured out the sweet wine and handed half of it to her.
"I just told you that I will let you do whatever you want. I married you because I want to spend the rest of my life with you. If you are willing to be with me, then I am lucky. If you are not willing, I will not force you.
"If you want a promise, I will write it to you in as many copies as you want.
"Even if I swear a solemn oath now about what will happen in the future, you will find it hard to believe it.
"There is still a long way to go, why don't we try it together?"
Lu Xinran looked at the wedding wine handed to her, met his frank and forbearing gaze, and suddenly felt relieved.
She stood up, took it, and under his expectant gaze, she raised her head and drank the bittersweet wine.
The new house would be her future residence, and she had transformed it into a layout that she was familiar with and liked according to her own preferences.
On the other side of the hall outside was the study room she had specially arranged, where pens and ink were already prepared.
She pulled up Song Junyan's sleeve and led him into the study: "First the villain and then the gentleman, words are not enough, how about your Highness rewrite a promise to me?"
Song Junyan looked at the pens and ink that had been prepared on the table and felt it was ridiculous and funny for some reason.
He took up his pen and wrote down everything they had just said in the room without stopping on the paper, then went back to his room to get his private seal and solemnly stamped it.
"So, madam, are you satisfied?"
Lu Xinran pinched a corner and read it carefully, then nodded with a satisfied smile.
"Okay."
He agreed so readily and without any dissatisfaction. This series of reactions alone exceeded her expectations.
If he had always been so sincere to her, they might really be able to walk hand in hand.
After carefully drying her hair and putting it away, Song Junyan moved forward and put his arms around her slender waist.
"May I ask, Madam, can we enter the bridal chamber now?"
Lu Xinran's pretty face instantly flushed. She raised her hand and pushed the other person's shoulder without any momentum, and replied in a voice as low as a mosquito, "Yes, yes
