Chapter 369 Finale
Prime Minister Cai Shi also went to the Marquis of Anding's mansion to propose marriage on the same day as the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
The two sisters hid behind the screen, too embarrassed to come out to see people.
Old Madam Chen first said to Zhao Wanyue: "Jingya has already told me that she was reckless that day. No wonder your master, this marriage doesn't need to be forced."
Zhao Wanyue smiled and couldn't close her mouth: "We are not forcing it at all. The old lady said that these two children don't know each other without fighting. Changhe said that if Jingya likes the prosperity of the capital, he will work hard to prepare for the Spring Examination and get a job to support his wife.
If he likes the freedom of the frontier, he will take the military examination and take her to see the lonely smoke in the desert!"
"I want to go to the frontier!" Chen Jingya couldn't help but said behind the screen.
Zhao Wanyue felt relieved: "Old lady, look, the child has agreed, you should approve the marriage!"
Old Lady Chen said self-deprecatingly: "This child is too unruly. Madam Zhao, you must have thought about it carefully to marry such a daughter-in-law!"
"I couldn't ask for more!" Zhao Wanyue said.
Accompanying the old lady to see that Su Changhe's marriage had been successfully settled, she also began to worry.
She said, "Sister, what do you think of the marriage between Jingshu and Pei Yuan? Our Pei Yuan is not as promising as Changhe, but our family tradition is good. The Pei family does not allow concubines, and at home, the lady has the final say.
I will not let Jingshu suffer any grievances when she marries into the mansion. Pei Yuan has no ability, and Jingshu will have to work with Lingxi in the future. We also fully support it. When we have a child in the future, let Pei Yuan take care of it at home!"
Old Madam Chen smiled and said, "That's great, but Jingshu is the same, she has to listen to her own wishes.
Jingshu, you have heard some of what Old Madam Pei said, do you agree with this marriage?"
"Granddaughters listen to grandmothers!" Chen Jingshu said shyly.
In this way, the marriage was settled, and the two sisters got married on the same day.
After Pei Yuan got married, he was simply Chen Jingshu's follower, following her every step. Later, as Mrs. Pei said, Chen Jingshu became a female official, and Pei Yuan stayed at home to take care of his wife and children.
Su Changhe participated in the military examination and became the champion. He took Chen Jingshu to the northern border and, according to Gu Huaiyu's deployment, directly annexed Beiqiu and became Beiqiu County.
Tang Yongning lived up to expectations and became the champion of the new session and entered the Imperial Academy.
Li Yutang, the son of the eldest princess, loved Buddhism and became a monk. He traveled with his master and became a great monk.
Zhao Liming had been serving outside the country and had outstanding political achievements, so he was named the governor of Jiangnan County.
Li Yunshu handed over the intelligence network to Su Xiaoxiao, and went traveling with Zhao Hongjing to do good deeds.
Zhao Hongye has been the Minister of Industry, and has implemented a series of engineering projects that benefit the country and the people, with remarkable achievements.
A girl who was saved in Xiling came to find him from thousands of miles away, and insisted on being his maid to repay him. With the concerted efforts of Su Xiaoxiao and Zhao Hongjing, Zhao Hongye finally found a new aunt for Su Xiaoxiao.
In a blink of an eye, Su Xiaoxiao was finally sixteen years old. The emperor's feelings for her were known to the whole world, but she was the only one who didn't know it.
Su Bowen resigned and went home, leaving only the title of Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. No matter what the emperor and Xiaoxiao will be like in the end, he doesn't want to become the object of the emperor's jealousy.
Su Xiaoxiao went to the palace to play as usual, but was stopped by Gu Huaian: "Xiaoxiao, think about what the emperor said to you!"
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head woodenly.
"Since you can't make up your mind, it means you don't like him, Xiaoxiao, the emperor said that if you are with him, the world is yours, and he will find all the delicacies in the world for you.
It's so tiring to manage the world, you might as well consider me, I will give you all my property, and I don't have to deal with state affairs, we can go wherever we want!"
After Gu Huaian finished speaking, he looked at Su Xiaoxiao carefully, waiting for an answer.
Gu Huaiyu appeared in front of him with a cold face, and he was visibly nervous: "Huaian, didn't I tell you not to hit on your sister-in-law!"
"Royal brother, didn't Xiaoxiao not agree to you? Xiaoxiao, choose me or the royal brother." Gu Huai'an pressed on step by step.
Gu Huaiyu looked at Su Xiaoxiao nervously and said softly: "As long as you choose, I will agree to it!"
"I want the prince to find delicious food, Xiaojiu's money, and if I want to play, you don't have to bother you. I have a lot of friends, I will go by myself!"
Gu Huaiyu: "..."
Gu Huai'an: "..."
Really, everyone is a tool.
Gu Huai'an still didn't believe it, and asked: "Who do you like more, me or the royal brother?"
"I like both!" Su Xiaoxiao was very frank.
"Go ahead and choose one!" Gu Huaian was a little mad.
"Don't scare Xiaoxiao!" Gu Huaiyu said in a deep voice, and then said to Xiaoxiao: "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. There's a new chef today. Go and see if there are any dishes that suit your taste!"
"Yeah!" Su Xiaoxiao ran away happily, and finally turned back and made a face at Gu Huaian.
Gu Huaiyu drove Gu Huaian away, called Qintian Supervisor Cheng Xingzuo, and asked, "Is there any progress?"
"Your Majesty, we have found the place where the goddess was punished in Beiqiu County, and everything is ready. Once the formation is activated, the goddess will return, and Master may no longer be able to accompany you. Are you sure you want to do this?"
Gu Huaiyu's eyes were firm: "If the formation is not activated this year, won't we have to wait another nine hundred years? I can't let Xiaoxiao suffer so much reincarnation for the sake of a lifetime of companionship. Let's set off in three days!"
With Xiaohong's flying car, Gu Huaiyu and Su Xiaoxiao and his party soon arrived in Beiqiu.
As soon as Xiaohong stopped, Su Xiaoxiao covered her chest and felt uncomfortable all over.
"Xiaoxiao, are you okay?" Gu Huaiyu held her hand and asked nervously.
"I feel uncomfortable all over as soon as I arrived here, as if something terrible had happened here!" Su Xiaoxiao felt panic in her heart.
This was the place where Xiaoxiao was tortured. Even after a thousand years, the painful memory has not completely dissipated, which shows how much Xiaoxiao suffered at that time.
Gu Huaiyu comforted her: "You left something here. We will take it back and you won't be sad anymore!"
Su Xiaoxiao nodded, not quite understanding.
Su Changhe and Chen Jingya had already prepared everything. Gu Huaiyu had already found out Xiaoxiao's life experience. After all these years of hard work, he finally gathered the fragments of the Cangsheng Jasper. Today, he would use the power of the Cangsheng Jasper to retrieve Xiaoxiao's consciousness and let her no longer suffer from reincarnation.
Without much explanation, Xiaoxiao was attracted by the power of the Cangsheng Jasper and walked into the formation set up by Cheng Xingzuo.
As soon as she arrived at the center, a magical thing happened. The Cangsheng Jasper immediately became intact, emitting a dazzling light, wrapping Su Xiaoxiao in it.
"Ah!" Su Xiaoxiao let out a miserable cry.
"Xiaoxiao!" Everyone was very worried.
Gu Huaiyu hurried forward, and at this moment, the light swept Gu Huaiyu in.
"Your Majesty!"
"Brother Emperor"
Everyone was in a panic, only Cheng Xingzuo remained calm.
"The Jade of the Cangsheng is a kind thing. Master and Your Majesty are its old friends. Nothing will happen."
The light quickly turned into a swirling red flame, which kept burning. A dragon and a phoenix flew out from it, and everyone was stunned.
Xiaohong said in surprise: "Grandpa! The emperor is the lover of the goddess, that is, my prince supreme dragon! After thousands of years, they finally met!" Xiaohong said
, tears kept flowing, one for the lovers to finally get married, and the other for her to finally complete the mission successfully and be a free dragon.
A dragon and a phoenix flew into the sky and disappeared in the vast sea of clouds. Gu Huaiyu walked out of the flames holding Su Xiaoxiao's hand.
"Your Majesty, Princess!" Everyone came to greet them. But the two looked at each other, their eyes were drawn, and they completely ignored the existence of everyone.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Huaiyu with distress in her eyes. She raised her hand and touched Gu Huaiyu's face and said, "It's been hard for you these years!"
For thousands of years, the Supreme Dragon has been reincarnated continuously, just to find Su Xiaoxiao's trace. Even if all his memories have disappeared, he has never given up looking for her, but they have missed each other in every life.
Gu Huaiyu held Su Xiaoxiao's face and said guiltily: "I'm sorry that it took me so long to find you and made you suffer!"
"It's not painful!" The two hugged each other tightly, and all the previous memories came back. Now they no longer have to be so close, but regret missing each other.
Gu Huaian was very anxious: "How can this be? There is no fair competition yet, how can he hug her? What if Xiaoxiao chooses me!"
Xiaohong added: "You should take a rest. People have waited for thousands of years and finally found you. Don't humiliate yourself!"
Everyone laughed at this.
Gu Huaiyu married Su Xiaoxiao as his queen. Except for the maidservants who served Su Xiaoxiao personally, all others were sent away. Gu Huaian joked, "The mosquitoes in this palace are all male. Brother, you are not afraid of the palace to this extent!"
Gu Huaiyu laughed and said, "If you are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish! You have a group of concubines, don't you find it noisy?"
"If you are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish!" Gu Huaian replied with the original words. "I will go to my fiefdom tomorrow, don't miss me too much!"
Gu Huaian walked out of the palace and took a last look at the palace. He really couldn't compete with his brother. If he couldn't, he would hide.
Three years later, Su Xiaoxiao finally gave birth to a son. Why was it finally? Because Gu Huaiyu finally married Su Xiaoxiao. Before that, he always said that she was too young and he couldn't bear it.
When their son was one year old, he stopped breastfeeding. Gu Huaiyu took him to court every day and began to supervise the country when he was five years old.
Su Xiaoxiao felt distressed: "He is still so young, you are rushing it!"
Gu Huaiyu didn't think so: "Why rush? I have done my best by not giving him the Zen throne. I know he likes the hustle and bustle. You just have to be patient. When he is seven years old, let him ascend the throne, I will be the emperor, and we will go traveling!"
"A hundred years later, we can go wherever we want, why bother with such a hassle!" Su Xiaoxiao was also a little hesitant.
The young prince was already accustomed to the lovey-dovey behavior of his father and mother: "If you want to go, go ahead. This little government affairs is not difficult for me!"
Su Xiaoxiao and Gu Huaiyu hit it off: "Then it's a happy decision!"
So, Dashuo had the youngest emperor in history. Under his leadership, Dashuo unified the four borders, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, no longer suffering from war.
As for the retired emperor and the empress dowager, no one knew about them. Some said they were herding horses on the grassland, some said they were boating in the south of the Yangtze River, and some said they went to Shuzhong to eat hot pot.
