The people of the entire Nanding Kingdom know that the current Emperor married the 200-pound废物 princess of the General's Manor as his Empress.
However, one day, this Empress was no longer...
Seeing that Guan Zhiyue ignored him, Li Qiji stood up from the chair with some curiosity, walked up to Guan Zhiyue, bent down and looked at Guan Zhiyue who was in a daze.
"Yue'er, are you alright? Why are you so absent-minded since you came back from your trip?"
"Has something happened?"
Guan Zhiyue still ignored him, her thoughts lost in her own memories.
She really wanted to know what kind of person the original owner's mother was, and what secrets Guiling Valley held back then.
Why do I have absolutely no memories of anything before I was four years old, not even the slightest trace of them?
What exactly did she experience before she was four years old? Who can answer her questions? Who can tell her what the original owner of this body went through before?
Li Qiji raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and gently shook them a few times on Guan Zhiyue's face, but Guan Zhiyue still didn't blink, staring into the distance with a dazed look.
"Someone come here!"
As Li Qiji's voice fell, two people entered from outside the door, one of whom was Bilian.
Li Qiji turned his head and saw Bilian and Jiwu enter together. He then turned to Bilian and asked, "Bilian, where did your mistress go? What did she do?"
Startled, Bilian knelt down on the ground with a thud. The cold ground instantly sent a chill down her spine.
"Your Majesty, Her Highness just went to General Guan's camp. General Guan gave Her Highness her mother's jewelry, and now..." Bilian stammered as she reported the truth.
Guan Zhiyue was startled awake by Bilian's exclamation, snapping out of her reverie. Looking at the scene before her, she asked incredulously, "What are you all doing?"
"Bilian, what are you doing kneeling on the ground in this freezing weather? Get up!"
Upon hearing her mistress's words, Bilian dared not get up, and then looked up at Li Qiji beside her.
Guan Zhiyue looked in the direction of Bilian and saw that Li Qiji had a dark face!
Guan Zhiyue: "..." You rough old man, what kind of tricks are you up to on the first day of the Lunar New Year?
"Get up!" Li Qiji only spoke after Guan Zhiyue glared at him.
Seeing that Guan Zhiyue had come to her senses, Li Qiji waved for the two to leave. Li Qiji looked at Guan Zhiyue and said, "My dear Yue'er, you scared your husband just now. What were you thinking about?"
Guan Zhiyue gently placed the things she was carrying on a small table beside her, and then said, "Hmm, I was thinking of my mother whom I have never met."
Upon hearing this, Li Qiji quickly embraced Guan Zhiyue. Guan Zhiyue sat on the back of the chair, wrapped her arms around Li Qiji's strong waist, and buried her face in his stomach.
He was in a very low mood and seemed unsure of what to do.
"I do have some recollection of what my mother-in-law said." Li Qiji gently patted Guan Zhiyue's back, as if to comfort her or encourage her.
Guan Zhiyue looked at Li Qiji with some surprise, her eyes filled with all sorts of hopes!
"Do you know my mother?"
Li Qiji didn't want to lie to Guan Zhiyue, so he nodded and said, "Yes, I know her!"
"Can you tell me? What kind of person is my mother?" Guan Zhiyue sat in the armchair, wrapped her arms around Li Qiji's waist, and tilted her head back to look at Li Qiji who was looking down at her.
Li Qiji reached out and affectionately flicked Guan Zhiyue's nose, saying gently, "Okay! But I can only tell you what I know."
That's enough!
Li Qiji took Guan Zhiyue's hand, sat down on the chair next to her, gently rubbing Guan Zhiyue's fair and delicate hands, and began to reminisce.
"I met your mother when I was six years old, before you were born, when she was pregnant with you!"
"What was my mother like?" Guan Zhiyue stared wide-eyed at Li Qiji. In the original owner's memories, Guan Zhiyue had never met her own mother, so she didn't know what her mother was like.
"My mother-in-law is very gentle, and she is kind, generous, and beautiful! Not only that, she is also exceptionally loving!"
“I remember back then, my mother-in-law gave a lot of clothes and food to the refugees who fled to the capital! When the refugees returned to their hometowns, she gave each of them one tael of silver.”
"At that time, I didn't quite understand. There were so many princes, and my father was also the kind of carefree and irresponsible person. My father-in-law wasn't even a great general back then!"
“Mother-in-law, when you were pregnant, you supported your father-in-law’s career without complaint. While your father-in-law was guarding the border, you were in the capital taking care of your parents-in-law and your two older brothers. That’s why your father-in-law was able to guard the border with peace of mind.”
As Guan Zhiyue listened to Li Qiji's story, she felt that the original owner's mother must have been a very gentle and virtuous woman. She thought that she must have already reunited with her daughter!
Now she will live well in her place and take good care of her children and family, after all, she has taken over her daughter's body, hasn't she?
"Yue'er, what are you thinking about?" Li Qiji looked at Guan Zhiyue, who seemed a little absent-minded after hearing what he said, and felt inexplicably curious.
Guan Zhiyue heard the shouts, turned around and looked at Li Qiji, saying, "Ah, oh! It's nothing, it's nothing."
The two chatted for a while longer before changing the subject and saying nothing more.
Li Qiji stood up, still looking somewhat worried, and held Guan Zhiyue's hand, saying, "We've been married since childhood, and our love is unwavering!"
Guan Zhiyue didn't say anything. Instead, she straightened her clothes, stood up, and said calmly, "Let's leave tomorrow!"
"good."
——
Cold comes and heat goes, spring goes and winter comes!
Time slips away day by day in the sea of people, following the rhythm of life. Before they knew it, Guan Zhiyue and her group had been walking on the road for some time.
"Your Majesty, the scenery along the way is truly beautiful!"
"It's like two completely different places! I'm quite surprised! Just a few days ago we could see snow, but now the sun is shining brightly."
Guan Zhiyue lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside. Spring was indeed in full bloom outside the window. Although it wasn't the time when all the flowers were in full bloom yet, the sunshine was the most comfortable time.
"Yes, it is indeed much warmer than a few days ago."
"I never expected that our trip to the Turkic region would be resolved by Your Majesty before we even started fighting. Your Majesty is truly a divine being," Bilian flattered.
Guan Zhiyue was speechless. She was the last person who wanted to start a war. Wouldn't a peaceful resolution be better? Why the bloodshed and separation?
"Alright, I'm a little tired. I'll rest for a bit. You can enjoy the scenery for a while!"
Bilian said nothing more and obediently kept quiet.
