The year Yan Xingchuan successfully rebelled, he made his cousin empress, and even promised never to establish another empress in this life before her death.
Cui Si was his principal wife, wh...
Chapter 216 The world cannot be spring and summer forever
Yan Xingchuan was once annoyed with that unfilial son, thinking that he only cared about his mother and not his father, and did not help him at all, and even did such a stupid thing as giving his mother a lover.
Even when Cui Si wanted to bury him with Lin Qingning, he didn't know how to stop her.
When he was just reborn, he thought that one day when this brat was born, he would spank him hard to let him know who his father was.
Now he just wants the child to come back to him.
All he wants now is for his wife and children to be by his side. If he really comes back, he won't dare to say a word even if the children ride on his head.
Yan Xingchuan was thinking about something, and remained silent with a cold face. Seeing that he was silent, Mr. Cui did not remain silent either.
When he reached the door, Yan Xingchuan came to his senses and thought to himself, he finally understood why Cui Jing and Cui Si were so smart, and Cui Changyou was also very unyielding, so what was going on with Cui Yi who only grew in height but not in brains.
It turns out that it was passed down to my father.
This temper is really bad. When Cui Yi saw him before, he glared at him, but Mr. Cui Er remained silent.
"Meet the old lady."
"I have met the King of Northern Yan."
Since Yan Xingchuan was willing to be the younger generation, Old Lady Xu didn't bother to care about him. They each performed their own rituals. Anyway, since Yan Xingchuan dared to perform the rituals, she dared to accept them.
Humph, it’s not that easy to marry her granddaughter.
However, since he was the King of Northern Yan, Mrs. Xu could no longer sit in the main seat. She just sat in the lower right seat, facing Yan Xingchuan.
"I heard that the King of Northern Yan came here today to apologize."
"Exactly." Yan Xingchuan nodded. "Since it was my fault before, even though it's over and I've given the Cui family an explanation, since I've come to Xianyang City, it's only right that I come and formally apologize."
After saying that, Yan Xingchuan glanced at Yun Gang. Yun Gang clapped his hands, and someone carried in a few boxes of things.
Yan Xingchuan said, "This is an apology."
These apologies were actually prepared this morning and bought in Xianyang City. They didn't cost much, but I chose the expensive ones and spent real money on them.
So these things have everything.
Yan Xingchuan said somewhat awkwardly, "Because I was in a hurry, I could only prepare these. When I return to Yunzhou, I will have someone prepare another one and send it over."
"That's not necessary." Old Madam Xu shook her head. "Since the King of Northern Yan is so willing, this is enough."
Today, Yan Xingchuan came in person to apologize. He was not angry even when he was left out like this. Old Mrs. Xu breathed her last and looked at this man seriously for once.
The young man was handsome, reserved, calm, mature and steady. He had an upright and majestic figure that ordinary people could hardly match. He was like an inaccessible mountain or an ancient pine tree towering into the clouds.
Such a man, even apart from his status, is indeed qualified to be the son-in-law of her Cui family.
"Since you have come here to apologize today, my Cui family will let this matter of your kidnapping be forgotten and will not mention it again in the future.
As for your wish to marry Ah Si, my Cui family doesn't approve, but we also don't object. If you have the ability to make Ah Si willingly marry you, my Cui family will certainly happily send her off."
Yan Xingchuan nodded: "It should be so."
Even if the Cui family is willing to help him, what is the point if Cui Si is unwilling and is forced to marry him by the Cui family?
What he hoped was to reconcile with his wife and continue their old relationship, rather than being a grudge match with her again.
Most importantly, he didn't want Cui Si to be unhappy.
"But the old lady said that I could see Ah Si once, and I can't go back on my word."
Old Madam Xu paused and asked him, "When did the King of Northern Yan leave Xianyang City?"
"I'll leave tomorrow."
After sending Cui Si back to Xianyang City, he was going back to Yunzhou. Although Chen Sui and Shangguan Tong were there to stabilize the situation and could stop Jiang Shao, it would not be easy to take over Miaozhou in a short time.
The longer this battle drags on, the harder it will be to fight.
We can't delay this any longer.
"In that case, I'll have someone tell Ah Si, and you can go there in a moment."
Old Madam Xu arranged for a maid to inform Cui Si, and then she said to Yan Xingchuan, "On the battlefield, swords have no eyes. Even if you are brave and unparalleled, you must be extremely careful."
"I know, don't worry, old lady."
There was a little chat and not much talk, but both parties achieved their goals and were relatively satisfied.
Cui Si was not surprised to hear what Old Lady Xu had sent to tell her. She nodded and said, "Then let him come over. Ah Hao, you go back first. Yanzhi Songlu, bring up a pot of hot tea, and then have the maids in the courtyard go down as well."
Yanzhi and Songlu took the order, one went to prepare a pot of hot tea, and the other arranged for the maids in the courtyard to leave. When Yan Xingchuan arrived at Qingwu Courtyard, Cui Si was the only one left in the courtyard.
The maid escorted him to the door and bowed before leaving.
Yan Xingchuan stood alone at the gate of the courtyard, staring at the 'Qingwu Courtyard' for a while, then pushed the door open and walked in.
In winter, leaves fall, flowers wither, and the ground is covered with snow. There is still some green in the flower beds in the Qingwu Courtyard, but the tall sycamore tree in the courtyard is only left with branches.
The cold wind blew and the branches swayed.
"The four seasons come and go. Spring and summer have passed, and the autumn wind has blown the leaves off. Now it is covered with snow, but next spring, new leaves will grow and new flowers will bloom."
He and she have gone through life together, and now their new life will naturally be better.
Cui Si lifted the curtain that shielded him from the wind and snow and stepped out. Seeing him mumbling to himself, she couldn't help but say, "Next spring, new leaves and flowers will grow, but in the same way, in autumn, the leaves and flowers will fall, leaving only bare trees."
"There is no eternal spring and summer in this world; autumn and winter will eventually come. Fate cannot be changed; in the end, all that remains is emptiness."
Yan Xingchuan's expression changed slightly.
What he meant was that their previous lives were over, and even if the result was not good, they had a new beginning. What Cui Si meant was that even if there was a new beginning, it was also a reincarnation, and the result would be the same.
Just like the fallen leaves in autumn and winter, all that is left is emptiness.
Yan Xingchuan sighed, then walked over and stood beside her, looking at the tree with her: "What on earth can I do to make you trust me even a little bit?"
"It's not that I don't believe you, but even though the flowers and leaves are affectionate, the autumn wind is ruthless. In the end, I can't hold them back. It's just fate."
"Fate? What kind of fate is this?"
"Even if you sit in your position, you will always be unable to control yourself."
Even if he really cares about her, he will eventually abandon her when he has no choice.
"But I said, you are the most important in my heart, I will never..."
"It's just a promise. How can I take it seriously if something really happens?" Cui Si smiled. How could she take these words seriously? She just thought that he was crazy and talking nonsense.
"Why can't you take it seriously? I can definitely do it."
