*
The fifteenth year of the Kaiyuan era.
"Qin Mobei, where should we go first?"
Sitting on the soft couch in the carriage, Nan Qing turned to look at Qin Mobei, who was holding her with one arm and a book in the other.
Since the two great powers of Beili and Xiyan came under the rule of Donglin.
In the same year, Donglin changed its name to "Kaiyuan".
That battle took place seventeen years ago...
Looking at Qin Mobei's face, which was still handsome but had gained a mature look from the years, Nan Qing suddenly felt that Qin Mobei truly deserved to be called the chosen one of this generation!
Heaven truly favors him; he hasn't turned into a little old man yet!
Forehead.
actually……
Nan Qing, who had always been pampered by Qin Mobei, had not changed much.
Moreover, even as time goes by, Nanqing's eyes still retain a touch of girlish charm, just like when she was a young girl.
This innocent and carefree attitude is something only someone surrounded by love could possess.
Qin Mobei put down the book in his hand and wrapped his arms around Nan Qing's still supple waist.
He lowered his head and gently kissed the top of Nan Qing's fluffy head, whispering:
"Why don't we go north first?"
"By the time we arrive in Snow City, the season should be just right."
"You can build a whole yard full of snowmen then."
"Have a snowball fight with your little fox."
"If you like, we can stay there until summer before leaving."
Qin Mobei spoke slowly and gently about his and Nan Qing's upcoming schedule and life.
Forehead,,
Wang Fu, who was driving the carriage, and the group of guards around him seemed to have been automatically excluded by him...
In the first year of the Kaiyuan era, Qin Mobei selected a five-year-old child from the royal family and adopted him and Nan Qing to raise.
The day after the heir had just come of age, Qin Mobei hastily issued an imperial edict of abdication, handing the throne to the new Emperor of Donglin whom he had groomed.
The abdication went very smoothly, with almost no opposition from the ministers.
However, it's also because Qin Mobei's actions over the years have been so obvious!
The ten-year-old crown prince was taken to court by Qin Mobei the day after his investiture.
When the young prince had just reached the age of coming of age, some memorials were also handed over to him to handle.
All the ministers knew perfectly well that this was a strike!
Their emperor's intentions are crystal clear!
However, Donglin is currently the only dynasty on this continent.
The remaining few were all called vassal states, and to the east were only various vassal states without military power.
It can be said that Qin Mobei left a prosperous dynasty for the next emperor!
Therefore, after handling all matters, Qin Mobei immediately left the capital with his empress.
He wanted to fulfill the promise he made to Nanqing back then: to take her to see the snow in the east, the beautiful mountains in the south, the Gobi Desert in the west, and the vast grasslands in the north, and to ride horses with her.
Speaking of this...
"Wang Fu is with us too."
Why can't I bring the four kinds of flowers: plum blossom, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum?
"That little girl Lan You almost cried herself to death at the Prime Minister's residence when she found out I wasn't taking her."
Speaking of Nan Qing's four maids, Qin Mobei felt fortunate that she had been smart enough not to bring them along.
Over the past twenty years, those few have caused me no shortage of trouble.
None of them had any sense of propriety; they just kept circling around Nan Qing.
I'm going to spend some quality time with my sweetheart from now on, how could I let them come along!
So he simply let them all return to the Prime Minister's residence.
I'm sure they'd much rather live in the Prime Minister's residence than travel the world with him and Nan Qing!
"Unless something comes up, we probably won't be returning to Kyoto for many years."
"It's inconvenient to bring them along, to endure the elements and sleep outdoors."
"Wang Fu, that old servant, is used to serving you. I wasn't planning on bringing him along anyway; just the two of us would be fine."
"But that old servant was very old. He knelt before me, tears streaming down his face, saying that if I didn't take him with me, he would go and follow the late emperor."
"Tell me about it."
"Fortunately, it's more convenient to have someone by my side to serve me."
Qin Mobei, without the slightest bit of apprehension, launched into a theoretical discourse to Nan Qing.
A man and a fox were driving the carriage outside: Heh... Another day of being caught up in their Emperor's schemes and tricks!
Many years later.
Nan Qing and Qin Mobei went together to the east to see the snow, as mentioned earlier.
They also went to the northern grasslands, where Nanqing finally got to eat the roasted whole lamb she had been longing for, learned to ride a horse, and stayed in a traditional Mongolian yurt.
They also visited the scenic Gobi Desert and the boundless desert that Qin Mobei had described, and saw that strange-looking animal called a camel, which Nanqing indeed liked very much.
I also went to the southernmost mountains and saw the beauty of the forests in the rain.
That was a different kind of scenery that Nan Qing had never seen in the Nebula Realm. She and Qin Mobei would feed the many small animals in the forest every day, and they even saw a round, black and white little animal that was so cute that Nan Qing even wanted to secretly send one to the Nebula Realm...
She and Qin Mobei went to a very, very far place and saw the sea, a salty but incredibly beautiful sea.
Nanqing also ate seafood that she had never eaten before, seafood that lived in the sea, and they even went out to sea with the local fishermen.
Nan Qing even thought he was a naturally gifted salvage artist!
They also went to a place where all kinds of fruits were planted everywhere and stayed there for a long time.
It was a small vassal state far from the capital city in the east. The weather there made Nanqing feel very comfortable, and the two of them stayed there for more than half a year before leaving.
Decades later.
The capital of the Eastern Dynasty
Inside the palace
"Qin Mobei, I might have to go now..."
"You must take good care of yourself and help me see this world one more time..."
I really love this world.
"Very beautiful"
At this moment, Nan Qing, who was over sixty years old, lay on the soft couch, still leaning against Qin Mobei's chest.
At this moment, her frail body was entirely supported by Qin Mobei behind her.
Nan Qing knew that today was her last day in this little world, so she kept pulling Qin Mobei aside and giving him repeated instructions.
She didn't know what Qin Mobei would be like or what state he would be in after she left.
But she still tirelessly told Qin Mobei that she hoped he would be alright.
Behind him, Qin Mobei's expression remained neither sad nor happy, as if he didn't care about what was about to happen...
But in those eyes, though aged, they still held a powerful presence, and within them lay a deep shadow of gloom...
Qin Mobei did not answer Nan Qing's question.
Because he knew he couldn't do it, he couldn't agree to his love.
He silently tightened the grip on Nan Qing's hands, pressing Nan Qing's back even closer to Qin Mobei's chest.
Qin Mobei tightly wrapped his hands around Nan Qing's slightly cold little hands. Their intertwined wrists were still tied with the marriage thread that Qin Mobei had asked Master Liaowu for at Lingyin Temple years ago.
Much later.
Nanqing's voice no longer came from inside the hall.
The entire hall was so quiet that there wasn't even a sound of breathing or heartbeat.
Qin Mobei seemed unaware that Nan Qing had stopped breathing.
He maintained the posture of holding Nanqing tightly.
After a long while, he lowered his head and whispered in Huai Nanqing's ear, his voice filled with longing and stubbornness:
"My dear, wait for me a little longer, your husband will be coming to find you soon..."
