Old together
The grand wedding plunged the whole Yuhan into a carnival. This is the first time that Mu Qingya has put on the empress dowager's clothes. Before that, Duanmu Lingyu has always opposed it and is not allowed to wear this dress, saying that only the queen's phoenix robe can match her, and this time it was compromised under her strong insistence.
Although Duanmu Jinchen is only 15 years old, he is particularly calm and can completely deal with Yuhan's big and small affairs without Duanmu Lingyu's help. At this time, he wore red clothes and stood straight in front of them, already with the unique demeanor of a young emperor.
Looking at such a son, Mu Qingya felt a little sore and proud. Compared with Baoer, he has been particularly sensible since he was a child. Even if he has grievances, he never complains. He just remembers in his heart and waits for the right time. No matter how big or small, he will not come to trouble him. Such a child is the most reassuring and makes her inadvertently ignore him. Now when I see him finally get a family and a career, I inevitably feel guilty and reluctant.
Duanmu Jinchen walked to the two and knelt down respectfully: "The emperor joined the father and mother."
Duanmu Lingyu got up and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, Jinchen, you are now an emperor, so you don't have to kneel."
"No matter what the status of my son is, it is reasonable to kneel down to his parents."
"Hmm." This child is his successor and the pioneer of Yuhan. He is decisive, smart and wise. He has all the characteristics of the emperor.
"Cchen." Mu Qingya got up and helped him tidy up his clothes. "The queen is the person who has accompanied you all your life. You should respect and love her. Your heart is always exchanged with sincerity." In fact, she doesn't agree with marrying the current queen, because Jinchen doesn't have much affection with her, but on the whole, her identity and character are the most suitable person for the queen's position.
Duanmu Jinchen's lips were full of smiles: "Mother, don't worry, I know." How could he not understand what the mother meant? She hoped that she could marry her beloved, but he understood that from the moment his father took over this position, he had to shoulder his responsibility. The reason why his father was able to stay with his mother all his life and only married her queen in his life. In addition to his deep love, there is the most important thing. One reason is that the mother's character is noble and square, which is most suitable for the position of queen and can stand shoulder to shoulder with her father, so they can know each other.
And he is not as lucky as his father. He has not met a person who is suitable for the queen's position and he likes. In this way, there is no difference in marrying anyone. If the queen can please her, just respect and love her well. Now Yuhan needs a queen, so that his father and mother can completely unload their burdens and be truly leisurely.
The ceremonial official sings complicated etiquette. Baoer stood next to the hall, looked at the saluteing brother and future sister-in-law, and turned to look at Mo Jiang, who had been following her: "You are really funny. What have you been following me?"
"Why didn't Baoer go to see your brother's wedding?"
"Bao'er is my favorite name for my father and mother. Although you are the child of my uncle, after all, there is a difference between men and women. You'd better pay attention to it." Baoer looked at him coldly with a little vigilance in her eyes.
Seeing her eyes, Mo Jiang subconsciously frowned: "So I didn't call you like this. Why are you separated from me now?"
"You don't need to know why." Baoer turned her head and didn't look at him, but snorted proudly in her heart. Mo Jiang really thought that he couldn't see through his mind. At this time, he was still hesitating. No wonder his uncle didn't grab his mother's attention at the beginning. At first glance, he lacked determination. Since he liked him a little, he could not tolerated procrastination. And shirk.
Mo Jiang only cared about the feeling at this time, and didn't expect that he was already in Baoer's calculation: "Baoer, but what did I do to make you angry?"
"Nothing. The royal brother also married his sister-in-law. It seems that I should also discuss it with my father and mother. It's better to choose a time to gather Yuhan's young son-in-law and choose a son-in-law."
Mo Jiang frowned: "You are most of your age. Don't worry so much."
"Although the emperor's daughter doesn't worry about getting married, I'm 15 years old. Do you think I'm still a child? Moreover, it has nothing to do with you. You didn't come to ask for marriage on the order of your uncle. Although I am the only princess in the royal family, there are many beautiful women in Yuhan. Taking this opportunity, you can also choose a princess to take it back, which also shows the intention of friendship between the two countries.
"Don't talk nonsense. How can I marry someone else?"
Baoer raised her eyebrows and looked faintly from him: "Don't you want to marry someone else? So who do you want to marry?"
"..." Your words almost blurted out, and Mo Jiang's heart suddenly trembled. Just now, he actually thought that he would marry no one except Baoer. Did he really fall in love with the little girl he had met when he was a child?
Baoer snorted coldly, scolded a nerd in her heart, and turned around and walked to her palace. Mo Jiang unconsciously followed her footsteps and noticed that many princes around him were secretly staring at Baoer. The discomfort in his heart became more and more serious. He secretly said: There are no rules! Can the princess also measure it at will?
Sitting on the throne, Duanmu Lingyu took Mu Qingya's hand and said dissatisfiedly, "Why did Baoer fall in love with that wooden boy?"
"Bao'er's personality is different from that of others. Although those sons of the family are excellent, they are obedient to her. What she wants is a husband who can rely on herself, and not an obedient slave. I think Mo Jiang is good. Besides, with Junqing and Mingli, she will definitely not stand grievances."
"That's all I can think." Duanmu Lingyu glanced coldly at the young talents. It seemed that he was looking for some opportunities to practice them well. Every day, he only thought about how to take a shortcut to the sky and prevent them from suffering. He really thought how outstanding he was.
Mu Qingya smiled gently and looked at the thick red in front of her, with a nostalgic look in her eyes: "Baoer's girl has her own decision, so we don't have to worry about it. It's really unexpected that more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye."
Danmu Lingyu clenched her hand and looked at the unparalleled face in front of her, and the love in her heart slowly turned: "Yes." More than ten years, long years, they have really come like that for more than ten years. Now I think about it, I actually feel extra short. "I was not as lucky as Jinchen at that time. It took a lot of effort to marry you."
"Ha ha, didn't it let you hold the beauty in the end?" Mu Qingya's eyes were joking.
"Yes, the biggest beauty in the world is still brought home." Duanmu Lingyu led her out of the Chengqian Hall and slowly walked to the Feiyu Pavilion.
The sky is slowly dim, and the front hall is still the sound of bamboo, but it is very quiet around the Feiyu Pavilion. The complicated salute is over, and there is nothing wrong with the emperor and the empress dowager.
"Qingya, you lived in Feiyu Pavilion at the beginning of the draft."
"Speaking of which, I had passed the draft at that time. If it hadn't been for Mo Liuchen, I would have been your queen in the early years."
"Who said no, that Mo Liuchen, huh!" Now when it comes to the vicious woman, Duanmu Lingyu is still full of anger, especially when she killed Qingya's mother, which made her heartbroken.
Mu Qingya leaned against his side and looked up at the night sky: "Mother should have forgiven me already."
"Elegance..."
"I know what you are going to say. I still understand this truth. I can avenge my mother and make her feel at ease."
Duanmu Lingyu held her in his arms: "Well, just figure it out." Every year on the anniversary of Qin Yue's death, Mu Qingya will be particularly sad. This matter will always be the hurdle in her heart, and it is difficult to pass.
"I'm thinking that if her mother is alive, it would be very satisfactory for her to know her father."
"My father-in-law is deeply affectionate, but if my mother-in-law knows that she doesn't want to see him alone for a lonely life."
Mu Qingya turned around and looked into his eyes with water in her eyes: "Ling Yu, if something happens to me one day, would you like to find someone else to accompany you for the rest of your life?"
"No!" Duanmu Lingyu held her in his arms and said, "You are not allowed to go anywhere, otherwise even if you fall into the yellow spring, I will definitely find you. Because...you have to accompany me until I grow old."
Mu Qingya raised the corners of her lips and hugged him back: "I'm just saying something. You don't have to be so nervous."
"Qingya, don't talk nonsense." Just thinking about that result, he feels very uncomfortable. For so many years, except for Jinchen and Baoer, the reason why they don't want to have children is that he doesn't want to experience the fear at that time again. A woman's birth is equivalent to stepping into the door with one foot, not to mention giving birth to twins. Therefore, he would rather not have children than let Qingya go through a danger. Without her, what's the use of having more children?
"Okay, I'm wrong. I won't say it again."
A breeze blew, and the snow-white pear blossoms suddenly fell from the branches, and the petals fell on the shoulders of the two snuggled, dyeing a trace of white between their ink-like hair.
"Qingya, if... I mean, if one day I'm really going to die..." After a long silence, Duanmu Lingyu couldn't help asking.
"If there really is such a day, I will accompany you. Because you are the best to me in this world. How can I get used to it without you? Therefore, you have to wait for me. Don't go too far alone. You will be afraid if I can't catch up with you. The smile on her lips was particularly warm, and Mu Qingya bent her eyes, like a girl who didn't care about the world.
"...Okay."
One day we will have white hair, one day we will fade our color, and one day we can't even wear our clothes alone... But don't be afraid, because even if we have white hair, my old hands will still hold you tightly. Maybe at that time, my hands are too trembling to hold you tightly, but don't I'm afraid, because I will remember the dense red thread wrapped around our hands. If I forget this, then I will definitely be on the verge of death. Would you like to accompany me at that time?
The ten fingers are intertwined, and the promise clearly rings in your ear: If you don't leave, you will never give up...
