Qiangxian was the emperor's favorite, but she was reduced to a flower street. She didn't know how she spent her days.
What was the emperor's mood at that time when he went to look for the immortal Qiang who had disappeared due to unfounded charges?
Rose Fairy finally returned to her beloved and found happiness again. What kind of prayers did the people of Huajie bring to worship her?
……Its daybreak……
The deep purple sky begins to whiten from the east.
What a quiet and peaceful dawn.
Although it is calmer than the dawn seen on the tower of Xishen Pass, it is also more lonely.
"emperor……"
She could not bear the loneliness and waited for time to pass. She watched the sky getting brighter and closed her eyes.
...Will you come to pick me up?
"..."
She opened her eyes.
...When you are waiting for your sweetheart, do you hear phantom voices?
For example, will you hear the other party calling your name?
"Emperor..."
...did you really hear it?
Shui Xinyuan forgot to stand up and climbed to the stone steps.
There was a voice calling my name, asking loudly where I was.
"I'm here!"
I hope that voice is not an auditory hallucination.
"I'm here...I'm here, Your Majesty!"
…
He didn't know how many times he shouted, but just when he was about to shout again, he held his breath.
...he heard it.
He heard the answer.
"!"
...The sound comes from the front, is it here?
In a corner of a building complex, stone steps suddenly appeared.
"Shui Xinyuan..."
"emperor!"
……in front of.
When he turned around, he saw Shui Xinyuan leaning out from the stone steps, almost falling down. Before he could say anything, he rushed up the stone steps.
"ah……"
Shui Xinyuan stretched out her hands desperately, her expression seemed like she was about to cry at any moment.
……found it……
…
The arms holding him tightly and the broad back hugging him are all so familiar.
In the morning, Lu Fusu kissed her when he sent her out of the palace. Although it was only half a day apart, the kiss that was so thick and breathless at this moment was so nostalgic.
"……Are you alright?"
Lu Fusu asked in a hoarse voice, and she nodded desperately.
"I'm very worried...fortunately you are safe..."
"sorry……"
Before she could say her apology, she was interrupted by another kiss.
"...Are you very uneasy?"
Lu Fusu's hand stroking her hair was so gentle that she couldn't help but shed tears of relief, which wetted Lu Fusu's clothes.
"I met a kind-hearted person and she helped me..."
"Is she the woman from the restaurant just now?"
"Have you already met her?"
"She was knocked down when the man chasing you was arrested, and she was unharmed."
"Very good……"
...Yunshang is also safe and sound. I really don’t know how to thank her...
Lu Fusu whispered into her ear softly.
"Shui Xinyuan..."
"Um?"
"Are you still willing to stay with me?"
"……What?"
Shui Xinyuan raised his eyes and stared at Lu Fusu with eyes blurred by tears... What did he just say?
"As long as I continue in my current position, government affairs will not be a big problem... However, I cannot solve other people's jealousy."
"..."
"Even if they are people you don't want to see, if they apply for a proper interview, I have to allow it. As long as they are not obviously insulting the Queen, I cannot interfere with others' speech. I know that you have endured a lot of grievances..."
Lu Fusu held Shui Xinyuan's arm so hard that she almost felt a little pain.
"When you are in front of me, you always smile, and you always pretend to forget those unpleasant things... and to encounter this kind of thing, it's really..."
Lu Fusu said that he was worried that Shui Xinyuan did not want to continue to be the queen.
Seeing that Lu Fusu was unable to speak and tried hard to restrain the pain in his heart... Shui Xinyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
…Turns out I’m not the only one having troubles…
It turns out that we all have uneasiness in our hearts.
"emperor……"
Shui Xinyuan gently stroked Lu Fusu's cheek, which was paler than usual.
"...I originally wanted to ask the emperor the same question."
"Same problem..."
"I can't do it... No matter what others say about me, no matter what happens to me, I am not willing to give up my position next to you to others."
"Shui Xinyuan..."
Lu Fusu slowly opened his eyes.
"Are you... still willing to stay with me?"
Seeing the tension on Lu Fusu's face gradually disappearing and his smile returning to normal, Shui Xinyuan also laughed.
Lu Fusu wiped the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers.
"I love you..."
"Me too……"
They kissed again and laughed.
After Lu Fusu snickered, he took out a breath and muttered: "...Do you want to go to bed?"
"What?"
"Shui Xinyuan, don't you want a child?"
"...Yes, yes!"
I have had this idea for a long time.
"Since you want a child, then do it as soon as possible...I have started to think so recently, although I originally hoped it would be a little later."
"Why... why?"
After Lu Fusu ascends the throne, he should be appointed a crown prince as soon as possible.
"Because... once you have a child, you will definitely love him very much."
"Of course..."
"By then, you won't have time to pay attention to me."
"this……"
Shui Xinyuan blinked desperately, while Lu Fusu looked serious.
"Ah, that, this..."
"So, I originally wanted to have you exclusively for a few years."
"..."
"These days, people around me are becoming more and more nagging... Of course, if you give birth to a child, you can continue to accompany me, and I will be very happy."
"..."
At present, Lu Fusu returns to the palace after handling government affairs every day, and when he goes out the next day, he and Shui Xinyuan are inseparable.
Lu Fusu was worried that once Shui Xinyuan needed to take care of her children, she might not be able to continue this kind of life.
"ah……?"
"Shui Xinyuan, you definitely don't want to leave your child to a wet nurse. I also think it would be safer for you to take care of the child yourself, but if you do this, then..."
"Wait...wait a minute!"
Shui Xinyuan couldn't help but grab Lu Fusu's shoulders.
"A child is a child. If I give birth to a child, of course I will love it and take good care of it, but the emperor is the emperor and is my husband, so..."
"I know, I know. Anyway, it's my fault for being too narrow-minded."
"...The Emperor is always number one!"
Shui Xinyuan forcefully pulled Lu Fusu's shoulders toward him, and Lu Fusu blinked in surprise.
"... No matter how many children I have in the future, the Emperor will always be number one."
"..."
"Don't worry, I'm confident enough!"
"Yes, really?"
"So...I want children."
"...I will handle it properly!"
"yes……"
Lu Fusu's eyes widened when he saw Shui Xinyuan's determined look, and then burst into laughter.
"……emperor?"
"It's okay... I was thinking that it's hard for you too. In addition to caring for your children, you also have to care for your husband."
"I will also let the emperor pamper me."
Lu Fusu smiled and gently pushed the hair away from Shui Xinyuan's face with his fingers.
"...Besides a child, what else do you want?"
"Can I make a request?"
"sure."
"Then...I'll think about it."
...I am too powerless.
But...the emperor I loved most made herself his queen.
Maybe you have the ability to do something.
The sky has almost turned white, and you can clearly see the surrounding scenery.
"……you're tired right?"
"A bit..."
Lu Fusu stood up and gently picked up Shui Xinyuan.
Although Shui Xinyuan was not too tired to walk, she still didn't want to leave Lu Fusu and wanted to act coquettishly to him again.
Shui Xinyuan silently put his hands around Lu Fusu's neck, and Lu Fusu smiled and kissed her forehead.
"My carriage is parked at Hongyuan Tower. After I pick up Chunxiang, I will go to Zhuge's house to have a rest before returning to the palace, right?"
"yes……"
At this time, Lu Fusu looked at the red ancestral hall, as if he had discovered it for the first time.
"Rose Fairy Temple?"
"I heard that she was a woman who transformed from a geisha into a queen when she was offering sacrifices to the Xia Kingdom."
"...The Queen of Xia Kingdom? Is that your ancestor?"
"possible."
Shui Xinyuan paid attention to the ancestral hall and said... Before Lu Fusu arrived, it was this ancestral hall that protected him.
"I heard you can pray for marriage."
"...So, it really worked."
Lu Fusu also looked at the ancestral hall for a moment, and then kissed Shui Xinyuan on the forehead.
He was about to walk down the stone steps...and suddenly stopped.
"...I absolutely don't want it, Li Yuezhen, go ahead!"
"Your Excellency, Mr. Zhongshu Shilang, I think it would be more appropriate for you to call me."
"Didn't I say it? I don't want to go! Why do I have to do this kind of thing every time..."
"However, no matter how affectionate you are, and if you wait patiently, the emperor will probably come back."
"I can't waste time here now, so I'm worrying about it! The emperor loves his wife dearly, and I repeatedly told him not to shout loudly. As a result, the emperor ran and crowed louder than a rooster."
"Now is an extraordinary period. Now that it has happened, there is nothing we can do about it."
"I just appreciate your calmness, so please go and call the emperor back as soon as possible..."
"The principle of my life is not to destroy the love of others, so forgive me for not being qualified."
"...Then at least find a desperate guy who dares to destroy other people's love..."
Zhuge Qing arrived at some unknown time. With his back to Lu Fusu and the others, he sat on the lowest stone steps and held his head. Li Yuezhen responded calmly as usual.
