Xiao Qingning smiled flatteringly upon hearing this, and said coquettishly: "Okay, it's all my fault, I will remember it in the future, Fifth Brother, don't be angry."

Jamel Xiao wasn't really angry at all, and when Xiao Qingning acted like that, Jamel Xiao couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, you're just good at talking, but I don't see you ever learning your lesson."

Xiao Qingning smiled embarrassedly, "But fifth brother, since Ye Hengjing is willing to help us, who will go to Weiyuan Country to marry?"

"You would never have thought that Ye Hengjing said he would go find it himself."

Xiao Qingning was indeed a little surprised after hearing this. "It's really unexpected. He clearly said that he didn't care that day, but it seems that he was just pretending. But this is also human nature. Who can have the courage to face someone they don't like for the rest of their life?"

Xiao Jingxuan said disapprovingly: "You, don't take it for granted. Do you think everyone can be as lucky as us? I don't know how many people's marriages are arranged by their parents and matchmakers, and they didn't even know each other before the marriage. And I can see that Ye Hengjing doesn't care, but everything about him is arranged, so he subconsciously feels that he has no choice. Maybe it's really because of your story that I was inspired and decided to take my destiny into my own hands this time."

Xiao Qingning nodded upon hearing this and said seriously, "Fifth brother, what you said is true. We are really lucky. Not only did we meet someone we like, but we also have such open-minded parents. Even parents from ordinary families may not be able to do this, but our father and mother always consider us first."

Jamel Xiao chuckled when he heard this, “It’s not easy for you to think of these things. Father has also been under a lot of pressure this time. You should make Father less angry in the future, and that will be your reward.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingning glared at Jamel Xiao and said angrily, "Fifth brother, why do you say that to me? How could I always make Father angry? I am Father's little princess and sweet little cotton-padded jacket. I must be doubly filial to Father and Mother in the future."

Jamel Xiao smiled and said, “Then you must hurry up and fulfill your filial duty. After all, you won’t have much time to stay with your father and mother.”

After hearing this, Xiao Qingning looked puzzled, "Fifth Brother, what do you mean by this? I stay in the palace all day, and I have plenty of time to be filial to my father, the emperor, and my mother."

Xiao Jingxuan smiled and looked at Xiao Qingning, "I have my reasons for saying this. In fact, I have another good news for you. Do you want to hear it?"

As soon as Xiao Qingning heard this, he immediately became interested. "What good news is it? Of course I want to hear it. Fifth brother, don't keep me in suspense. Tell me quickly."

Jamel Xiao smiled upon hearing this, and deliberately cleared his throat, then said solemnly: "Ahem... I just took the opportunity to mention your marriage with Zhehao to my father, and he has agreed. The decree will be issued soon, and the wedding date is set for two months later."

Upon hearing the news, Xiao Qingning was completely stunned. He just opened his mouth and even forgot to make any expression.

Xiao Qingning's mood at the moment was very complicated. First he was shocked, then happy, and then disbelief.

"Fifth brother, are you telling the truth? Did the emperor really agree?"

Jamel Xiao looked at his sister's incredulous expression and smiled unconsciously.

"It's true. Father has just drafted an imperial edict. It should have arrived at the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion by now."

After hearing this, Xiao Qingning dared to believe it and smiled happily from the bottom of her heart.

But she quickly realized a question, "Wait, Fifth Brother, you just said the wedding date is two months from now? Isn't two months too fast?"

Jamel Xiao smiled and teased, “Why, are you reluctant to leave the palace, or are you not so anxious to marry Zhehao? If you think it’s too fast, I’ll go tell my father now, maybe I can still stop the imperial edict in time.”

As Jamel Xiao said this, he stood up and was about to leave, but Xiao Qingning quickly reached out and pulled him back.

"Fifth brother, you know that's not what I meant. I'm just a little worried that two months is too hasty to prepare for the wedding. As for the rest, I have nothing to be unwilling about."

The further Xiao Qingning spoke, the softer his voice became. He gradually began to feel embarrassed, and his movements became more awkward.

Xiao Jingxuan smiled when he heard this, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. This incident did make father feel a little scared. The reason why he is so anxious is that he is worried that the longer the night, the more dreams there will be. First of all, Ye Hengjing has not yet determined the candidate for the marriage, who knows if he will regret it one day. Secondly, no one knows if this will happen again, and father can't stand it again. Anyway, the two of you have such a good relationship, it's better to get married early, so you don't have to envy me and your sister-in-law."

Xiao Qingning nodded after hearing this. "It was really difficult for Father this time, but despite this, he did not give up on me and tried his best to protect me. I am really touched. Fifth brother, thank you and Fifth sister-in-law for running around for our affairs. We will remember your friendship in our hearts. If you need us in the future, just ask. We will do our best to help you."

Jamel Xiao smiled indifferently when he heard this, "Why do we still have to say these polite words? We are willing to do this. As long as you stay together and live your life well, your sister-in-law and I will be happy."

Xiao Qingning nodded after hearing this, and smiled and gave Jamel Xiao a big hug.

"Don't worry, Fifth Brother. Zhehao and I will definitely be very happy, just like you and Fifth Sister-in-law."

Jamel Xiao hugged his sister back and gave her the most sincere blessings.

"Brother believes that my most lovely sister will live a very, very happy life."

Xiao Qingning was originally immersed in happiness, but when she thought of Xiao Jingheng, she couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing Xiao Qingning's sigh, Jamel Xiao asked in confusion: "Such a good day, why are you sighing all of a sudden?"

"I am happy, but under the same circumstances, my sixth brother has to bear the responsibility of this marriage alone. When I think of my sixth brother, I feel very uncomfortable and even feel guilty for being so happy."

After hearing this, Xiao Jingxuan finally understood the reason why Xiao Qingning sighed, "You don't have to think like that. Everyone has his own destiny. Although we are all trying hard to fight, many times we can't change anything at all. Besides, no one can predict what the final result will be. We feel that Sixth Brother is in pain now, but how do you know that this is not the fate arranged by God for him?"

"Fifth brother, you are right. Sometimes the arrangements of fate are really beyond our prediction. Just like I never thought before that the person I hated so much would eventually become the person I love the most."
