Chapter 245 Father needs you!
Shen Yushu turned his head to look at her profile illuminated by the fire, his tone extremely gentle, "What do you want to talk about?"
Xue Youran looked at the burning fire and asked, "How long will you stay in Lingnan this time?"
"I don't know yet, but from what the emperor said, I should stay here for a long time."
Shen Yushu said this and asked her, "What about you? How long do you plan to stay in Lingnan?"
Xue Youran was slightly stunned, "I haven't thought about it yet."
Shen Yushu did not answer immediately.
He was silent for a long moment, and when he spoke again, his eyes were fixed on Xue Youran, "Youran, if you have no plans to return to Beijing for the time being, and you don't know where you are going, can you stay in Lingnan with me?"
"What did you say?"
Xue Youran looked up at him suddenly, as if she couldn't believe her ears.
Shen Yushu looked at her and said word by word, "I hope you can stay in Lingnan with me, okay?"
Xue Youran just looked at him, struggling and tangled in her heart, "But, you know my identity. I leave the palace, how can I..."
Although she has not served in the emperor's bed after entering the palace.
But, after all, she is also a noble who has been canonized by the emperor, how can she be with Shen Yushu?
Shen Yushu understood what she was worried about and took out a letter from his arms, "When I left Beijing, Yan'er handed me a letter and said that when I see you, I will hand it to you personally and let you read the content of the letter. After reading it, you can answer whether you are willing to stay in Lingnan with me."
Xue Youran took the letter from his hand and took out the letter paper inside.
This letter was written by Shen Chaoyan to her and Shen Yushu.
The first sentence was that life is short and she advised them to enjoy life while they can.
Shen Chaoyan said that they had tasted the bitterness of the battlefield when they were at the border, and then they had tasted the bitterness of separation when they returned to Beijing. Now it was time to taste the sweetness of love.
Xue Youran finished reading Shen Chaoyan's letter in one breath. Seeing her bold words, she couldn't help but curl her lips. "Sister Yan is now the queen, and she still speaks so boldly. It's really admirable."
Shen Yushu looked at the arc of her mouth and said softly, "I read this letter many times on the way to find you from Beijing. I think Yan'er is right. Life is short. We have missed three years and can't miss it again."
Just like Shen Chaoyan said in the letter, they are still young. There is no need to observe the death ceremony and spend their lives dogmatically.
Since she left the palace, Xue Youran is free.
Since the two of them met here, it was a destined fate. Why not follow the truest thoughts in their hearts and stay together for life?
Xue Youran's eyes fell on the last few lines of the letter -
Sister Xue, I can assure you that my eldest brother is a first-class person, considerate and caring, and a rare good man. You, you must seize the opportunity.
Brother, Sister Xue is the best girl in the world. She is gentle and strong, kind and righteous, brave and straightforward. You must treat her well!
When you settle down in Lingnan, I will definitely come to see you in the future! Wait for me!
The letter ended here. Xue Youran sometimes really envied Shen Chaoyan's temperament. She didn't care about the world's eyes and only did what she thought was worth doing.
During the time in the palace, she got along very well with Shen Chaoyan, just like real sisters.
Shen Chaoyan did a lot for her silently.
Even her ability to leave the harem smoothly was thanks to Shen Chaoyan.
Since she was already far away from the capital, she should also say goodbye and be brave for once.
Thinking of this, Xue Youran raised her head and moved her gaze from the letter to Shen Yushu's face, "General Shen, please take care of me when you arrive in Lingnan."
Shen Yushu stretched out his hand to her, "This is my first time in Lingnan too, let's take care of each other."
Xue Youran looked at his big hand, thought for a moment, put her hand in his palm, and promised softly, "Okay." Shen
Yushu's eyes warmed up, and his big hand held her hand tightly.
They can hold each other's hands like this, and they muster up great courage.
My sister is right, there is only one life, and there is only one life. They don't need to embarrass themselves. Follow your own wishes and live every day with your loved ones in the future. This life is enough.
Capital, the palace.
After Sikong Yan came down from the morning court, he just stepped into Fengqi Palace and saw Shen Chaoyan sitting under the shade of a tree, staring at the letter in her hand, smiling from ear to ear.
He walked up to her and raised his eyebrows, "What is the queen looking at? Why are you smiling so happily?"
Shen Chaoyan waved the letter in her hand to him, "I received a letter from my eldest brother. He married my eldest sister-in-law to me."
Because Xue Youran's identity was not convenient to be made public, their marriage was very low-key and no relatives were invited to attend the ceremony.
However, Shen Chaoyan was happy for them from the bottom of his heart when he learned that the two lovers finally got married.
"Really? That's great news."
Sikong Yan was also half a matchmaker for Shen Yushu and Xue Youran.
He was also deeply relieved to know that they finally got married.
Shen Chaoyan looked up and blinked at Sikong Yan, "Your Majesty, if there is a chance in the future, can we go to Lingnan for a trip? And visit my elder brother and the others!"
"Of course."
Sikong Yan turned his head and glanced in the direction of the bedroom, "When Chen'er grows up, I will ask the tutor to teach him to read and write as soon as possible. He can get familiar with government affairs and supervise the country for me as soon as possible. The burden on my shoulders will be lighter, and I will have more time to accompany the empress to travel."
Tianshu: [Host, the tyrant is planning to retire as soon as possible and wants to train your son to inherit the throne as soon as possible.]
Shen Chaoyan: [I heard it, his abacus beads are about to jump on my face. However, there is nothing wrong with this. If my son ascends the throne as soon as possible, I, the empress, will be more relaxed. 】
Tianshu: [You two are really good at calculating. Your son is still crying for milk, but you can't wait for him to grow up and let him sit on the dragon chair! ]
Before Shen Chaoyan could reply, Lugua and another little palace maid came towards them holding two babies.
The two babies were crying in their arms and legs.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the little prince and princess are awake."
Although the two children cannot speak, they seem to know everything.
After getting enough sleep and drinking enough, they twist their arms and legs and whimper when the wet nurse
holds them, indicating that they miss their father and mother. At this time, as long as Shen Chaoyan and Sikong Yan pick them up, they will immediately become obedient.
Sure enough, Sikong Yan and Shen Chaoyan each held a baby, and the two little guys not only did not cry, but also grinned at them.
Sikong Yan reached out and pinched his son's little face, "Chen'er, grow up quickly, your father needs you!"
