Chapter 137 A First Marriage is Better Than a First Marriage (13)
Chunyu Mo withdrew his murderous aura, walked over, picked up an eyebrow pencil from the makeup box, and helped Ning Yan draw her eyebrows. "You are already beautiful enough. You don't need to wear any more makeup. Just draw your eyebrows."
Ning Yan deliberately picked a fight with him, "Is Your Highness saying that my eyebrows are not good-looking?"
Chunyu Mo suddenly chuckled, inexplicably recalling the day they first met when she frankly asked for a title. He bent down and kissed her full red lips. "No, Your Highness is beautiful in every way, but I would like to try the pleasure of drawing eyebrows."
He used to refer to himself as "I" (孤), but now that he has a Crown Princess, he no longer wants to do so.
A lonely man like himself longs for his children and grandchildren to surround him.
"Your Highness is indeed very knowledgeable and experienced. You can easily come up with sweet words to coax people. You are clearly an expert."
Chunyu Mo laughed again. He reached out and lifted Ning Yan's chin. The two looked at each other. "You have indeed seen a lot, but you can't call yourself knowledgeable."
After all, I only learned last night that there is such a wonderful person as the Crown Princess in the world.
Just thinking about that feeling makes my blood boil. What was that guy, surnamed Fu, thinking? How could he bear to divorce her?
However, it's fortunate that he let go early, otherwise, how would he have met her?
Ning Yan: ……
"Moreover, I have never coaxed anyone, and I do not feel that I was coaxing the Crown Princess just now; it was from the bottom of my heart."
Ning Yan glanced at him. He was so eloquent, how come he was already twenty-five before he finally married the Crown Princess?
Chunyu Mo took the eyebrow pencil and, as expected, drew Ning Yan's eyebrows before stopping. "Makeup can no longer add any charm to the Crown Princess. Let's go have breakfast."
See how comforting that sounds?
He really is much better at talking than Wen Xiangyan.
The prince's breakfast was very lavish, with a table full of food for the two of them.
Chunyu Mo introduced some rare ingredients to Ning Yan, and after she tasted them, he asked her if she liked them. After the meal, he directly instructed the eunuch standing to the side: "From now on, prepare three meals a day according to the Crown Princess's tastes, and prepare more food that is good for her health. You will all be rewarded for serving the Crown Princess well."
Conversely, if you don't serve them well, you'll be punished.
After breakfast, Chunyu Mo pulled Ning Yan to sit in his palanquin. The eunuchs lifted the palanquin, and Chunyu Mo held Ning Yan in his arms.
This is the only one who didn't fall into a deep sleep and never wake up after he fell asleep.
Which of those women doesn't need to sleep for several days?
This feeling is so new.
When they arrived at the Empress's palace, the Emperor had just finished his court session.
The couple were overjoyed to see the Crown Prince arrive. As parents, they knew all too well what their son was like before. It seems the Crown Princess is in really good health!
Chunyu Mo led Ning Yan to pay their respects to the Emperor and Empress: "Your son (daughter-in-law) greets Father and Mother."
The Emperor dismissed the two from the formalities.
Ning Yan and the other woman offered tea again, and the Emperor and Empress drank it heartily.
"Get up quickly, Crown Princess, come here and sit next to me."
The Empress was over forty years old, with few wrinkles on her face. While not exceptionally beautiful, she was pleasing to the eye.
The Emperor is much more handsome, and the Crown Prince looks eight parts like the Emperor; they are clearly father and son.
Ning Yan obediently sat down, and the Empress had her personal maid bring over a foot-long box, saying, "These are some little trinkets; you can take them back and play with them."
"From now on, you and Mo'er should live a good life together, and give me a beautiful little grandson. That will be enough for me."
After the Empress and the Emperor had the Crown Prince, she had two more sons with the Prince of Jin. None of these three children have been able to give her a grandson yet.
Ning Yan took the box, opened it and looked inside. Sure enough, the little trinkets the Empress had mentioned were not simple either; every piece of jewelry inside was exquisite and precious.
But what she was thinking was: Have you forgotten that I have a husband?
But whatever, if a woman can win the favor of her husband's family after marriage, her future won't be too bad, so she'll just accept it.
Before the Empress could finish speaking, she brought up Chunyu Mo's military service, saying, "The Crown Prince will complete his ten-year military service in three years. After that, you two won't have to live apart anymore. So, for the next three years, will you go back to the military camp with him or stay in the palace?"
As the crown prince, Chunyu Mo only has two months of leave for his wedding. With the time they would spend on the road, he will have to return to the military camp in another half month.
Ning Yan looked at Chunyu Mo, "Of course I'm willing to go to the military camp with Your Highness, but it also depends on Your Highness's wishes."
She actually quite liked the border area; life was carefree, she could go out every day, and she could see men often without having to think about them every day.
Most importantly, she has only just married Chunyu Mo and now they are going to be separated for three years. First of all, the Emperor and the Empress would not be willing to accept that, right?
Chunyu Mo smiled and glanced at Ning Yan. Very good, it's good that she's willing. He thought he would have to use a lot of persuasion.
The Emperor glanced at his son and said, "You better hurry up and try harder. As long as the Crown Princess gets pregnant, it doesn't matter whether she goes to the military camp or not."
If you are really pregnant, it would be safer to stay in Beijing to prepare for childbirth.
Chunyu Mo: ...How can it not matter? What I need is companionship, what you want is a grandson, we're thinking about completely different things.
They had lunch at the Empress's palace at noon, and then the two rode in a palanquin back to the Crown Prince's palace.
"What are you thinking? Are you really willing to return to the border with me?"
Ning Yan: "Of course it's true. It's just that the three babies are not even three months old yet, and I'm afraid such a long journey will make them sick."
Chunyu Mo understood; she didn't want to be separated from her child, but she also didn't want the child to suffer.
"If the child stays in the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, the old lady will definitely take good care of him."
Moreover, they will be back in less than three years, and you can bring them into the palace to live whenever you want.
Also, during your time back at the military camp, I can accompany you back to the Duke of Dingguo's residence several times, so you won't miss the children.
Wen Xiangyan had returned to the military camp half a month ago, so Chunyu Mo was at ease.
Of course, even if he were still in the capital, Chunyu Mo believed that Wen Xiangyan wouldn't be so ungrateful.
"Really? You really want me to go back and see the children? And you can bring the children to the palace to keep me company in the future?"
Crown Prince: "Of course. They are all our future children's blood relatives. I'm not that petty."
His children will definitely inherit the throne just like him. With more brothers, there will be more people to help, so it's natural to build good relationships from a young age.
"I will send someone to the Duke of Dingguo's residence to tell the old lady to take the child to General Mingwei's residence tomorrow, so that you won't worry about it."
Although Ning Yan really wanted to, she still refused, "Don't bother, the weather is too cold now, and it would be bad if the children caught a cold. Before we go to the military camp, you can just take me to see the Duke of Dingguo's mansion."
Of course, these are all excuses. Her children are all very healthy and rarely get sick.
The old lady took exceptionally good care of her grandson, and since she was the only mistress in the mansion, the child's environment was very safe.
Chunyu Mo didn't say anything more. It was almost November, the temperature was dropping, and the child was delicate, so it was really not suitable to keep moving around.
