Chapter 85: Bai Hongzhuang Ending 2
In the hot spring pool, the water was rippling, and circles of ripples were coming towards Qin Yanheng, gently hitting his arms and entwining with the black hair floating on the water.
Perhaps because it was night, there was no sound in the palace. The deep forest was unusually quiet, and the birds that usually played around were nowhere to be seen.
It seemed as if Qin Yanheng was the only one left in the entire Xiaoyun Mountain. The aroma of wine emanating from his every breath seemed to merge with the heaven and earth, as if he and Luo Qingling were supposed to be husband and wife, inseparable no matter life or death.
Someone is laughing in my ear, I wonder who this fearless little demon is.
Qin Yanheng closed his eyes, not wanting to pay attention, and simply sat in the hot spring, leaning against the wall with his head tilted back. The water tonight seemed cooler than usual, so cool that it had dispelled much of his drunkenness.
Originally planning to spend the night in the pool, Qin Yanheng suddenly remembered that he had seen a newly opened snack shop when he was going down the mountain today. Luo Qingling had loved eating pastries when he was alive, so he planned to buy some after daybreak and then go up the mountain to stay with Luo Qingling for the whole day.
Thinking of this, Qin Yanheng opened his eyes and was about to get up, but suddenly his body froze.
On the edge of the pool, a girl in a red dress squatted beside him, her hands folded on her knees. She was looking at him with her head tilted, a smile on her face.
The red dress she was wearing was the wedding dress Qin Yanheng had prepared for Luo Qingling. It had been kept in the palace before, together with his princely attire, just like an ordinary couple hanging out the clothes they would wear tomorrow.
This suspension lasted for a year.
That wedding dress had never been worn by anyone before. It was Luo Qingling's dress, and now—
Qin Yanheng suddenly closed his eyes, clenching his hands underwater into fists, forcing himself to suppress the heat welling up in his eyes. He missed her so much, to the point of hallucinations.
The monster that could transform into the appearance of a loved one had been dealt with by the two of them long ago. Qin Yanheng was unable to react for a moment and didn't know whether the monster was playing a trick on him, or... or she really came back.
Seeing Qin Yanheng's unbelievable look in front of him, Luo Qingling kept his eyes open without saying a word, secretly laughing in his heart, and just "stalemated" with Qin Yanheng.
In fact, after Song Yutai shot her with a rocket that day, her soul, for some reason, did not disperse, but instead drifted across Xiaoyun Mountain. Fortunately, the spiritual energy was abundant there, and she was a jade stone in Yue Lao's hand, originally a thing from the immortal world. After years of recuperation, the spiritual energy infused into her soul and was able to condense into a true body again.
Tonight, when Qin Yanheng was sitting in front of the grave drinking, Luo Qingling had already woken up in the palace, but her previous body had disappeared, and her soul had condensed into a new body, which looked exactly the same as she did before her death.
By this calculation, she is one year younger than Qin Yanheng...
Thinking of this, Luo Qingling couldn't help laughing out loud. She leaned closer to Qin Yanheng, who was still dozing off, put her arms around his neck from behind, and spoke softly in his ear.
"Your Highness Qin, long time no see."
Qin Yanheng suddenly opened his eyes, and there were water droplets on his fluttering eyelashes.
He just lowered his head and smiled bitterly. Just when Luo Qingling was about to continue speaking, she suddenly felt dizzy and was dragged into the pool, sitting in Qin Yanheng's arms.
Those narrow and long phoenix eyes were no longer smiling like before. The pupils in the red eye sockets were looking at her motionlessly. His long eyelashes flickered but he was reluctant to blink, for fear that Luo Qingling would disappear in front of him again in the next second.
"Qin Yanheng, I'm back."
Luo Qingling stood up slightly and knelt on Qin Yanheng's legs. She put her arms around his neck and wanted to rest her head on his shoulder, but he cupped her cheeks with his hands. She was about to say something when he blocked her lips.
The touch of her lips was slightly cool, but the man seemed to think it was not enough, so he put a hand on the back of her head and deepened the kiss.
From beginning to end, Qin Yanheng kept looking at her with his eyes open, and he couldn't get enough of looking at her.
He used his eyes to imagine the scenery under her wedding dress, and used his lips to trace her red lips. It was not until Luo Qingling was a little breathless that Qin Yanheng finally let go of his lips.
He placed his chin on Luo Qingling's shoulder, and the two of them sat face to face in the hot spring, hugging each other tightly, unable to separate for a long time.
The man's breath was beside her ears, and the sound of his panting was transmitted to her ears without reservation. Luo Qingling's cheeks suddenly turned red. She bit her lips and rolled her eyes, refusing to look at Qin Yanheng.
"Don't bite."
Qin Yanheng chuckled and spoke in a whisper, stretched out his fingers to pull out Luo Qingling's lower lip that was pinched between his white teeth, and then tilted his head and kissed her.
Ever since he saw Luo Qingling, Qin Yanheng had a vague suspicion in his mind. Yes, she was a treasure from the heavens, how could she be shattered by a rocket?
His little princess finally came back.
Qin Yanheng's Adam's apple slid for a moment, and his mouth kept moving. He held Luo Qingling with one hand and moved around under the water with the other.
The wedding dress was a vibrant, shimmering affair, made for Luo Qingling by the best embroiderer in the palace. He had been eagerly anticipating the moment she would put it on. It was springtime, and her beauty was unrivaled.
Her heart was pounding. Luo Qingling tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and hugged Qin Yanheng's neck tightly with both hands, feeling the warm water submerging her whole body.
The pair of bony hands moved across her skin, creating ripples that made her body soften.
"Marry me tonight, okay?"
"I want to marry you."
Qin Yanheng's thin lips pressed against her ear, and his voice came through her ear bone. His shirt had been half-opened at some point, and his breath hit her collarbone, causing a slight numbness and itch.
"Qin Yanheng..."
The ending tone suddenly trembled, and the person was tapping her collarbone with his fingers, the meaning was obvious.
"You called me Henglang before, but why are you calling me Qin Yanheng this time?" Qin Yanheng used some force on the hands behind her back to express his dissatisfaction with his body.
"You are cheating!" When had she ever called him Henglang? She was clearly calling him Hengyang's Heng at that time.
A laugh came from her throat. Qin Yanheng lowered his head and followed her gaze. Seeing Luo Qingling's wandering eyes, he smiled even more brightly.
"And then?"
"After what?" Luo Qingling didn't understand.
"After you marry me, what will you call me?"
It’s so annoying that you have to look at her like that and ask her.
Luo Qingling blinked his eyes, looked away, looked at the water surface where the two people's shadows were reflected, pursed his lips and hesitated for a while.
"Ah Heng."
The sound is so faint that it is not very clear.
But Qin Yanheng felt that it was enough. His heart was as soft as a pool of water. He sighed and held her in his arms.
"Ah Heng misses you, Qingqing."
Warm water gurgled, spilling over the pool wall. The shadows of the trees blurred her vision. Her wet wedding dress became even more gorgeous, but it couldn't compare to her delicate and charming face.
The arm around her back was exceptionally strong, but the man was reluctant to use force, and his movements were cautious, as gentle as if he were treating a treasure.
"My dear..."
All the words remained in his heart, and he would tell her slowly in the future.
*
The next day, in the royal palace of the villa.
"Come on, come on, make way, make way!"
Bai Rushue came in from the corridor carrying a large pot of boiling soup, looking at everyone in the room with excitement on her face.
Seeing this, Qin Jici wanted to jump up to see what was cooking in the pot, but Qin Yanheng pushed him back to his seat with a finger.
"Stop jumping around."
Qin Jici pouted and turned to sit next to Luo Qingling: "The emperor's uncle is used to being lawless. How can you, the emperor's aunt, stand him?"
Before he could finish his words, Qin Yanheng grabbed Qin Jici by the back of his collar and stuffed him into Heirutie's arms, not allowing him to get even a step closer to Luo Qingling.
Luo Qingling watched the crowd's playfulness with a gentle smile, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. Everything was fine with everyone, and everyone was still as happy as before.
Not far away, Duan Qing intended to ask for advice and exchange ideas with Chi Ruxue. The two were fascinated by a hidden sword in the royal palace and were planning how to ask Qin Yanheng to borrow the sword for two days.
Beside him, Deng Yesi had specially brought his own private collection of tea from the capital, and was now smiling as he made tea for everyone.
"Qingqing, welcome back," Deng Yesi handed over two cups of tea, one for Luo Qingling and one for Qin Yanheng, "and congratulations to Qingqing and Prince Rong'an on your happy marriage."
"Happy marriage!"
Qing Rudian poked his head out from the side and imitated Deng Yesi's way of serving tea to the two of them. He scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Although I can't say anything decent, my intention is definitely enough."
"Thank you very much."
Qin Yanheng hugged Luo Qingling and drank the tea. He glanced at her as he did so, his narrow eyes twinkling with stars. He was looking at his whole world.
Luo Qingling took a sip of tea and thanked him with a sweet smile.
She had never expected that so many people would travel all the way from the capital to Xiaoyun Mountain just to see her. Fortunately, she had woken up now, and everyone didn't come in vain.
A pair of eyes watched them from the palace gate. Luo Qingling remembered him; it was Qin Yanheng's Taoist master. She hurried forward to pay her respects, but was stopped by the Taoist master.
"She is indeed a good girl," the Taoist looked around at Luo Qingling and said sincerely, "You are the only one in the world who can control a disciple like me."
Everyone knows that General Luo and the Regent are a perfect match. Their marriages were already written in the marriage book of Yue Lao in Heaven before they were born.
Such a match made in heaven, truly enviable!
This is one of a kind in the world, a match made in heaven.
"I have something I want to confirm with the Taoist." Luo Qingling spoke carefully.
After her death, her soul did not completely dissipate, but floated around Xiaoyun Mountain. During this time, there was always an old man who used magic to piece her scattered soul together, and combined it with the spiritual energy of Xiaoyun Mountain to finally form a new body.
I wonder if this person is a Taoist immortal?
"I know what you want to ask." The Taoist nodded, confirming Luo Qingling's thoughts.
"The Gold and Jade Marriage Stone carries a calamity in its fate. Marriage is inevitable when it falls into the human world. You and that boy, one is a jade stone, the other a gold stone. You were destined to be husband and wife. Now that you two haven't even gotten married, how could you really die?"
"You mean, when Song Yutai killed me, my life was not over yet?" Luo Qingling asked.
After saying this, the Taoist immortal glanced at Qin Yanheng and said helplessly, "Yes, although I don't know why the Marriage Stone also had to descend to the mortal world to experience tribulations, I can be sure that the two of you will have a smooth journey ahead of you and stay together for the rest of your lives."
Hearing this, Luo Qingling finally breathed a sigh of relief. She and Qin Yanheng looked at each other, and both saw a bit of lightness in each other's eyes.
After the Taoist finished speaking, he disappeared in front of everyone. Qin Yanheng held Luo Qingling's hand and stood in front of the door of the royal palace. Looking at the Shenling Mountain shrouded in clouds and mist not far away, a stone fell from his heart.
"My dear, after we get married, you and I will travel the world, wield swords, and live as freely as before."
"What should we do with those piles of memorials, Regent?" Luo Qingling asked with a smile, looking up.
"Isn't there still that kid Qin Jici?"
Luo Qingling had long guessed that with Qin Yanheng's personality, he could not be held in a place like the palace.
But it's fine this way. She also likes to live freely and carefree. From now on, let her stay by Qin Yanheng's side and see the prosperity of the world with him.
Before, I was young and carefree, living alone in the world.
Then, for thousands of years to come, you and I will ride the mountains and rivers together.
