Ye Yu is now completely puzzled.
Logically speaking, now that Li Ruowang has become the empress of the Great Qian Dynasty, with such status and position, what kind of man couldn't she find? She could easily establish a harem of three thousand. So why is she insisting on him?
This question truly baffled him.
[Seeing the marriage issue brought up again, you suddenly feel a strange sensation.]
[In your mind, the image of the woman in the flower garden suddenly becomes blurred.]
[Why didn't she let Ye Liangyan tell you about her becoming the emperor?]
[And why insist on the fifty-year deadline?]
[These questions trouble you, leaving you pondering endlessly.]
[Ye Liangyan tells you: Whether it's fortune or misfortune, some questions are beyond my understanding, if you want answers, you may have to see Li Ruowang in person. But whatever decision you make, I'll support you wholeheartedly. Even if it means giving up everything I have now.]
[At this moment, you feel the warmth of home once again.]
[The next morning.]
[You voluntarily enter the palace, intending to meet Li Ruowang.]
[And it's as if she knew you would come.]
[She had already arranged female attendants to wait for you at the palace gate.]
[Then, under their guidance, you enter the palace.]
[As you wished, you meet Li Ruowang.]
[Now, she's dressed in dragon robes, still as beautiful as she was fifty years ago.]
[When she sees you approaching, she hands you an invitation.]
[Inside, it states that on the 8th of August, the new empress will wed.]
[Signed with both your and Li Ruowang's names.]
[Without a doubt, it's your wedding invitation.]
[Counting the days, August 8th is the day after tomorrow.]
[Are you getting married in two days?]
[Holding the invitation, you feel at a loss.]
[You ask why.]
[Li Ruowang doesn't directly answer your question.]
[Instead, she pulls up a chair and sits in front of you.]
[She starts talking about childhood memories.]
[During childhood, even though you never played with Li Ruowang, she felt that just watching you play was the happiest thing.]
[Even if you never acknowledged it, she still considered you her best friend.]
[Later, when the late emperor ascended the throne, Li Ruowang didn't forget to inquire about your whereabouts after entering the palace.]
[Upon learning that you became a playboy, she didn't feel disgusted. She simply believed that young men should behave like young men.]
[What's wrong with liking multiple people? In the Great Qian Dynasty, which man didn't have three or four concubines?]
[Li Ruowang doesn't care about this point. When she was twenty, she started considering that if she were to marry, you would definitely be her first choice. ]
[However, at that time, your reputation in the capital was not good, and she knew her father the emperor would not agree if she brought it up herself.]
[So Li Ruowang deliberately delayed it.]
[By the time she turned twenty-seven, the old emperor's health was failing, and he knew his time was short. Naturally, he started to worry about Li Ruowang's marriage.]
[At this time, if she brought up the marriage proposal again, the chances of success would definitely be higher. As she expected, the old emperor agreed. Li Ruowang said that was the happiest day of her life.]
[As for why she gave you fifty years of freedom, allowing you to thoroughly enjoy yourself, including not letting Ye Liangyan tell you about her becoming emperor, it was for this reason. ]
[Li Ruowang didn't want you to have too much psychological burden. She thought that only after you had thoroughly enjoyed yourself would there be a possibility of settling down.]
[Of course, if you couldn't settle down by then, it wouldn't matter. But after marriage, you shouldn't be too open about finding other women, as Li Ruowang is now the ruler of a country. There are things she doesn't say, but others would speak up about it.]
[After listening to Li Ruowang's story, you couldn't help but feel dazed. A woman who could do this much—it's simply incredible. ]
[She started liking you at such a young age, began planning to marry you at twenty, successfully planned it at twenty-seven, but didn't rush into marriage, giving you fifty years of freedom.]
[Fifty years later, she still looked beautiful and radiant, with light in her eyes. Even though becoming a cultivator could extend one's lifespan, fifty years is not something that can be easily dismissed.]
[If you say you're not moved in your heart, that would be absolutely false. With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?]
Ye Yu felt completely stunned.
He never expected that one day he would envy himself in a dream.
But it's not surprising at all.
Li Ruowang is truly the ideal wife for any man.
She loves you enough and has enough patience. She doesn't even mind if you find other women.
If you don't marry a wife like her, it's truly heaven's wrath and people's resentment.
Forget everything else.
Marry her, marry her, marry her!
[In the end, you agreed to this marriage.]
[And two days later, on August 8th, you and Li Ruowang held your wedding as scheduled.]
[On this day, the Great Qian Dynasty was boiling.]
[Not only were there decorations everywhere, even in the capital, men and women were wailing and crying.]
[Women cried because they had once had feelings for you, but you didn't choose them in the end.]
[Men cried out of envy and jealousy.]
[Their brains were almost fried, unable to understand why the lofty Empress would choose a man like you.]
[Could it really be because of that marriage decree fifty years ago? Empress, oh Empress, you didn't have to be so faithful to that promise.]
[Who doesn't know who Ye Yu is in the entire capital? Why did you have to make such a sacrifice for a marriage decree?]
[On this day, tears flowed throughout the city.]
[Yet under the blessings of countless people, you married the Emperor of Great Qian Dynasty.]
[Of course, how many of these people were sincere, no one knew.]
[But that doesn't matter.]
[What matters is that from today onwards, within the Great Qian Dynasty, you can be said to be above all but beneath none.]
[Of course, occasionally you could be beneath some.]
[It all depends on the position.]
[Seeing you finally starting a family, dressed in your groom's attire, Ye Liangyan couldn't help but feel slightly emotional.]
[Evidently, he never expected that his once wayward son would one day marry.]
[At night, you gazed at Li Ruowang in her wedding gown, feeling a bit lost in thought.]
