Chapter 994: Chapter 642: How could Song Top Scholar be like this? Rushing back before the parents’ wedding_2

Afterwards, she looked at Top Scholar Song with a puzzled face, "I thought someone as well-read as you would be emotionally obtuse and certainly not the type to prepare surprises, but it turns out you can too, huh?"

Top Scholar Song felt somewhat embarrassed; he indeed was not very savvy when it came to emotions, nor was he good at these things.

But, he wasn’t a fool, he could still observe.

Hadn’t he seen how a pig runs even if he had never eaten pork?

"If you think it’s a surprise, then that’s good."

Tao Minmin pursed her lips, looking at him with anticipation, "Did you really get engaged to me because you like me?"

Top Scholar Song was somewhat puzzled, "Why do you ask that?"

Tao Minmin said, "I know nothing about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, nor do I have any artistic talent, and I reek of the smell of copper coins; even among beauties, I wouldn’t stand out. What exactly do you like about me?"

Top Scholar Song chuckled lightly, "That’s what you think. In my eyes, you are gentle and generous yet not pettily meticulous, and you’re also very empathetic. As for artistic talent and beauty, it’s enough for me that I have been graced with a bit of each. And this smell of copper coins, how come I’ve never detected it?"

Tao Minmin learned for the first time that she had so many good qualities, "Do I really have so many strengths?"

Top Scholar Song said, "Of course. That was the feeling I had when I first saw you. If you weren’t wonderful, why would His Highness the Crown Princess condescend to matchmake for us? His Highness is a future monarch, naturally his judgment of character is better than mine, which also shows that my own judgment is not bad."

Tao Minmin’s eyes curved into smiling crescents, "Then I’ll believe what you’ve said. Even if it’s not true, I will become a virtuous wife and good mother in the future, and won’t drag you down."

Top Scholar Song said, "After we get married, husband and wife will be as one, there is no question of dragging anyone down."

Tao Minmin laughed again, "You’re right."

After returning, Top Scholar Song began to prepare the betrothal gifts.

Tao Minmin’s eyes were curved with joy.

Tao Father watched his daughter’s joy-filled face, "Minmin is truly happy today!"

Mrs. Wang said, "Of course, she’s going to be engaged to the man she fancies, how could she not be happy? She wasn’t nearly this cheerful when engaged to Mr. Chen."

"As long as Minmin is happy, it’s wonderful. To think she could marry a Top Scholar, I hadn’t dared to imagine it, let alone having His Highness and the Crown Princess play matchmaker, our ancestors must be smiling down on us!" exclaimed Tao Father, unable to contain his emotion.

Mrs. Wang felt the same, "His Highness and the Crown Princess really treat Minmin well. His Highness will undoubtedly be a wise ruler in the future."

Jun Moqing and Feng Qingyan returned to the Capital the day before Jun Wuxian’s wedding.

That day, Susu lay on Feng Wuyou’s body, munching on tea pastries and asked in her baby voice, "Mommy, for the ceremony tomorrow, won’t grandma and grandpa come back?"

"I don’t know either," Feng Wuyou took a bite of a tea pastry, "I miss them too! They’ve been gone for so long, and the New Year is almost here."

Having said that, she took another bite of her tea pastry.

Susu chewed on a tea pastry, pondered for a moment, and then her eyes suddenly brightened, "Mommy, let’s go out of the palace to find them, shall we?"

"No, it’s too cold outside; it’s warmer inside the house," Feng Wuyou said, shifting the hand warmer closer to herself.

After finishing the last bit of her tea pastry, Susu clapped her tiny hands and began to crawl down.

Feng Wuyou reminded her, "Be careful when you go out to play, don’t fall and get hurt, okay?"

"I know that, I’ll take Dabai with me to find grandma and grandpa," Susu said as she ran off with her little short legs.

Feng Wuyou paused mid-bite of her tea pastry, "Find grandma and grandpa? Are you going out?"

She instructed, "Chun Xi, have Qin Xiao follow Susu, don’t let her fall. The palace would be heartbroken."

"Understood, Master," Chun Xi responded from outside, and soon after, Chun Xi said, "Axiao, follow the little princess, don’t let her fall, otherwise, we’d all be heartbroken."

It wasn’t just them; when the Emperor felt heartache, it meant the whole Imperial Palace felt it too.

Susu lay on Dabai’s back, shouting, "Dabai, charge! Charge out!"

Dabai raised his head to glance at the high wall in front of him, then turned to look at Susu on his back, his expression seemingly asking, are you sure you want me to charge? If you fall, who is to blame?

Susu continued to shout, "Dabai, you can do it!!!"

Dabai looked away and carried on walking.

A horse carriage suddenly stopped in front of them; Dabai sniffed a familiar scent and howled twice at the horse carriage, "Awoo!!!"

Susu seemed to understand Dabai’s howl, raised her head to look at the horse carriage, and saw two people emerge from it. Recognizing them as grandma and grandpa, she excitedly patted Dabai’s head, "Lie down!"

Dabai obediently crouched down on all fours.
