"Is the Imperial Uncle afraid?"
"Of course I'm not afraid." What is there for him to be afraid of? He trusts the people around him implicitly.
…
Finally, they arrived at a courtyard filled with peach blossoms. At this moment, the entire garden was in full bloom, and red ropes were tied under the peach trees and everywhere else, making it look extremely festive.
Wan Ge took out a gift: "Happy birthday, Achen."
In fact, when the news of the other party's return came out, Wan Ge knew that the other party would definitely rush back before the birthday.
Since her father and mother passed away, no one has celebrated Mu Zhuochen's birthday. She used to keep her distance from him, so how could she possibly take the initiative to celebrate his birthday?
Even if she knew when his birthday was, Wan Ge would pretend she knew nothing if he didn't want to celebrate.
"From now on, I will spend every birthday of Achen with him."
Mu Zhuochen didn't know what to say, but he was deeply moved and didn't know how to express his joy. He could only silently reach out and hug the person in his arms.
"Thank you... Wan Ge."
Wan Ge smiled and replied, "You're welcome."
There's no need for formalities between them; it's just that they've gotten used to it—used to the distance between them, used to the excessive courtesy they show each other.
But in reality, they are the same. They are the closest people to each other and have always supported each other's growth. One is spiritual companionship, while the other provides real material and spiritual support.
However, Wan Ge will support him from now on and will not let him suffer like this again. No matter what happens in the future, they will face it together and share the burden, and will never abandon either of them.
Wan Ge stood on tiptoe and kissed him directly on the lips; in fact, she had wanted to do this for a long time.
Mu Zhuochen was stunned at first, but then he realized that he had nothing to be coy about, so he turned from passive to active.
…
The Imperial Observatory quickly found a suitable date. Mu Zhuochen had already made preparations, and Wan Ge was also very dedicated to the preparations. So even though the time was short, a particularly grand wedding was held.
The unification of the countries was a joyous occasion, and the wedding of the Empress and the Phoenix King was a grand affair, envied by countless people.
Although some commoners still felt it was inappropriate, since the prince had done it voluntarily, they couldn't say anything. They just hoped that the prince could be happy and content, because all their peace and wealth were inseparable from Mu Zhuochen's achievements in governing the country over the years.
Wan Ge naturally noticed this as well: "It seems that my Phoenix Lord is truly loved by the people."
It's actually quite normal. Whether in the court or on the battlefield, Mu Zhuochen's methods of governing the country and leading the army have been praised by countless people. He was very suitable to become a wise ruler, but unfortunately he did not choose to become emperor.
"Ah Chen, do you really not regret it? Do you really not want to become emperor? Are you content to stay in the harem and not concern yourself with court affairs?" The court will suffer a great blow if it loses Mu Zhuochen.
"Your Majesty need not worry. I never regret the choices I make. Besides, I have people in the court that I have arranged, so Your Majesty will not be hindered. Just do whatever you want." How could Mu Zhuochen not know the extent of the loss to the court after he withdrew from it?
However, as long as we have the right countermeasures, we need not fear any unforeseen changes.
