Chapter 380 Returning to Her Parents' Home to Get Married
In the blink of an eye, it was three days before the wedding.
In the Bixi Palace, Wen Li'er was instructing the palace maids to pack their bags and leave the palace to return to the Wen Mansion to wait for her marriage.
Xiaoxiao and Miaomiao were reluctant to let their mother go when they learned that she would be leaving the palace for a few days.
The two little guys each held one of Wen Li'er's legs, their little faces wrinkled, and they whimpered and refused to let go.
"Mother, please don't leave..."
"Miaomiao wants to be with mother!"
Wen Li'er was so soft-hearted that she squatted down and coaxed them for a long time, making promises, kissing and hugging them, before she barely calmed down the two little clingy kids.
She promised that when she returned to the palace, she would bring Xiaoxiao a majestic little sword and Miaomiao the sweetest and largest candied haws.
As for Tiantian, the little guy just stood there quietly watching without making any requests.
Wen Lier then took the initiative and promised with a smile that she would bring him an exquisite and complicated Lu Ban lock when she returned to the palace, so that he could solve it for fun to relieve his boredom.
Before leaving, she went to the side hall and hugged Zhao Zhao and Mu Mu who were babbling in the cradle. Looking at their innocent and lovely appearance, she felt a strong reluctance to leave.
Yan Shixu watched her bid farewell to her five children reluctantly, but she showed no sign of nostalgia for her husband, and a trace of childish jealousy arose in his heart.
He strode forward, pulled her into his arms, lowered his head, and bit her fair and tender cheek, neither lightly nor heavily.
“Hmm…”
Wen Li'er felt pain, covered her cheeks, and looked at him accusingly with her watery eyes.
"Your Majesty! You are so grown up, why are you still acting like a child?"
Yan Shixu hummed softly, tightened his arms, held her tightly in his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and his voice was muffled and a little willful.
"I don't care. Li'er, don't put me behind them. You should care about me more than these little brats."
Wen Li'er was simply stunned by his self-righteous remarks in vying for favor, and looked at him with a mixture of laughter and tears.
"Your Majesty! You—"
Where is your imperial majesty?
Where's your face?
Yan Shixu didn't care at all. He just felt that the person in his arms was warm and soft, and he wanted to take her with him.
He actually followed Wen Li'er all the way out of the palace and even had dinner at Wen's house.
It was not until Wen Li'er put on a stern face and brought up the old rule that "the newlyweds should not see each other three days before the wedding, otherwise it would be unlucky" that he gave up in disappointment and reluctantly returned to the palace.
In order to attend their sister's grand wedding that attracted nationwide attention, Wen Zhiyan and Nangong Ziyun traveled thousands of miles back from Lanzhou.
However, due to their important mission, they only planned to stay at home for three days and would have to return to Lanzhou immediately after Wen Lier's wedding.
The two states of Lan and Cang were newly annexed, and there was a lot of work to be done. In addition, the remnants of Nanzhao who missed their homeland were ready to make moves, so they really needed someone to take charge.
The two months I can squeeze out to go back and forth is already the limit.
Looking at her brother who was exhausted and obviously thinner, and her sister-in-law who was also busy but had no complaints, Wen Li'er was filled with emotion and heartache.
There was no trace of fatigue on Nangong Ziyun's face, but instead she was filled with the joy of returning home.
For her, a woman should obey her husband after marriage.
Wherever her husband goes, she follows.
Sharing joys and sorrows is a joy to behold.
Aunt Nangong also came back with them.
She came to Beijing specifically to attend Wen Lier's wedding ceremony.
After the ceremony, she will leave the capital to reunite with her husband who has been elusive for many years.
Wen Li'er couldn't help but think of Master Void.
After learning the master's true identity, her heart was in turmoil, but she finally chose to remain silent and did not write a letter to inform her sister-in-law and Aunt Nangong.
The master had long since seen through the mundane world and severed worldly ties.
Even if they knew that there was still a great-grandfather/grandfather alive in this world, what could they do?
Since we can't recognize each other, nor can we be in each other's arms, it only adds to the sadness.
Of course, my sister-in-law and brother decided to go to Huguo Temple to thank the abbot for his kindness. If they can find the connection themselves, then what to do next will be up to them.
What surprised Wen Li'er was.
When my sister-in-law came back this time, she actually brought back a wedding gift for someone.
It was prepared by Wen Wanqin and her husband Gu Jinxiu for her and His Majesty the Emperor.
In an exquisitely carved wooden box, a set of fired porcelain dolls are quietly placed.
The two older ones, a boy and a girl, look very much like His Majesty and her.
They were wearing bright red wedding gowns, holding hands tightly, and smiling at each other.
Beside them, five little kids were standing, sitting, lying and playing around them, laughing and playing.
The six sides of the carved brocade box, including top, bottom, left, right, front and back, were all engraved with blessings for their wedding.
A match made in heaven, a lifelong companion, a destined marriage, a blossoming marriage, harmonious music, and a lasting bond...
Wen Li'er was deeply touched when she received such a gift.
After looking at it for a long time, he let Qingzhu put it away properly.
When she returned to the palace, she placed it on her dressing table.
