Chapter 38: The Canary Captured by the Enemy Emperor (End)

The three children were born after taking a divine elixir. If it weren't for the insufficient spiritual energy, they could all awaken their divine bodies. That's why they could walk and talk at six months old. They were precocious and could read books of saints at one year old.

They were carried by palace maids and placed on the ground covered with a red carpet. On the carpet were many gold, silver, jewelry, study treasures and other treasures, and they were allowed to grab them by themselves.

Ask for a good omen.

Lin Muqing and Jun Yuanming sat on the top of the hall, looking at the little ones in yellow jackets below, smiling and waving at them.

"So many tender ones." The eldest prince looked around with his eyes as big as black grapes, his hands behind his back, and he seemed to be biting his tongue when speaking, his expressions and movements were like those of his father, but in a weird way.

The ministers around him stood up and saluted.

"Meet the three princes."

No one paid any attention to them.

The second prince didn't look at anyone, didn't say anything, he just stumbled forward and grabbed his favorite one.

The second prince picked up the brush from the four treasures of the study, then picked up a gold ingot. Seeing an exquisitely carved black horse in front of him, he threw down the brush and picked up this one. The whole time, he was picking up watermelons and dropping sesame seeds.

"Mother! Brew it." The third prince was put on the hall.

He walked slowly and like an unstable cannonball, he rushed to the highest platform.

The little butt twisted and turned, stepped over all the things for the first birthday ceremony, climbed up the three steps, and came to Lin Muqing, "Hug me."

"San'er, can you please go get your favorite thing for me?"

Lin Muqing pointed to the dazzling array of priceless gifts for the first birthday below.

"Okay." The third prince clapped his hands, walked to the front of the stairs, finally turned around, faced the stairs, lay down, and climbed down the stairs one step at a time with his little butt.

The ministers sitting below were amazed and couldn't help but applaud. What a smart idea! The one-year-old child seemed smarter than the five-year-old child at home.

The Queen Mother was so happy that she covered her mouth and laughed.

The second prince walked around among all the items, and finally picked up one gold ingot, two gold ingots, and three gold ingots and put them on an abacus.

He went to pick up gold ingots again, laughing happily and drooling as he did so.

He picked up all ten gold ingots in the venue and placed them all on the big abacus. He then held both sides of the abacus, picked them up steadily, and walked happily towards Lin Muqing's position, occasionally looking down to see if the gold ingots on the abacus had fallen.

This scene stunned everyone.

"Yuan Ye is really smart!" The Queen Mother expressed everyone's thoughts.

"Buy, candy, gourds!" The second prince held the abacus in his hand, but couldn't get up the steps. He looked up at his father with great effort, blinked desperately, and said in a baby voice: "Father, hold me, hold me!"

Jun Yuanming's handsome eyes were smiling, and his tall figure stood up, leaned over and picked him up.

"Yuan Yi likes gold ingots so much."

"I like it, I like it too, and I like mother." The second prince happily glanced at his mother who was as beautiful as a fairy.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but take the Second Prince in her arms. He was so sweet and soft, and the smile on her face never stopped.

"Grandmother!" The Second Prince called out clearly.

Finally, the third prince took a picture book with pictures of grains and the four treasures of the study, and ran back to his mother with a smile.

The eldest prince waited until everyone had made their choice before he took out a golden bowl and a seal.

"Lou likes this!"

These two are obviously standard for being an official!

What kind of official position can a prince hold?

The ministers and palace maids present all looked at His Majesty with some caution.

Jun Yuanming laughed heartily instead, walked over and picked up the eldest prince, smiling handsomely, and said, "Then brother, you have to grow up soon. Father is waiting to travel the mountains and rivers with your mother."

Lin Muqing also picked up the third child.

Below is a painter who depicts this heartwarming scene.

…

The system told her that the hero was the eldest prince, which meant her mission was accomplished and she just had to take good care of them.

However, five years later, Lin Muqing wanted a daughter, so she took a pill to give birth to a daughter and gave birth to another princess.

Princess Jiarong was the only little princess of Northern Qi. Her three brothers doted on her and granted her every request.

She grew up in the love of everyone, but Lin Muqing guided her in the good direction and didn't let her become savage and wild. But she was raised too naive and kind. When she was ten years old, she was almost coaxed away by a scheming prince who saved her life. She also wasted some time to let Jiarong understand that there are good and bad people outside, and that she can't trust her brother and father like she does. The child, who was not stupid, understood it all at once. After realizing the prince's purpose of approaching her, she decisively retaliated and established the princess's prestige. In the end, she could only become Jiarong's first whetstone and was thrown into prison for deceiving the princess.

Many years later, they all grew up and became capable men and dignified princesses.

The eldest prince really was chosen by heaven to ascend the throne at the age of fifteen. After Jun Yuanming gradually let go of his control, he thrived like a duck in water, and his new policies pushed Northern Qi to greater prosperity.

The second prince loved money very much, so he chose to do business and became a royal merchant to assist his eldest brother with financial expenses.

The third prince liked farming, so Lin Muqing carefully taught him a lot of knowledge about increasing production and cultivating plants. After he grew up, he went to some arid places to grow crops. In the end, it benefited the people of Northern Qi. The crazy increase in production every year allowed the people to have enough food and clothing.

When Jiarong was ten years old, she knew that people outside would have bad intentions towards her, so she started to learn martial arts. She was bright and beautiful, famous as the most beautiful woman in the imperial capital, a princess admired by countless young men, and extremely gifted in martial arts. She achieved success in ten years. Lin Muching never had to worry about her safety. She did not hold a position in the court, but lived in the underworld under an assumed name. She was a girl that even her third brother admired.

Later, he started a business with his second brother, one providing the money and the other the influence, and both were busy and successful.

When his son was 25 and his daughter was 20, Lin Muqing and Jun Yuanming left the palace to travel.

In the second half of her life, she learned martial arts, horse riding and archery, the tea ceremony, ancient ink painting, etc. Jun Yuanming knew much more about the world than she did, and was willing to teach her anything she liked.

Countless gold and silver treasures, gorgeous clothes, and luxurious houses were at her disposal.

What they eat and use every day are all top-grade ingredients of the highest royal standards.

It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

"I've had such a good life this time, how am I going to live in the next?"

One day, she and Jun Yuanming were sitting together on the edge of a mountain, enjoying the comfortable cool breeze, gazing at the distant mountains and valleys, blue sky and white clouds, and uttering such sighs.

But I didn't expect that what I said would come true.

Jun Yuanming held her in his arms and said, "If there is another life, I will still pamper Qing'er and give you better things."

"Qing'er, I love you so much. Thank you for enriching my wonderful life."

There was a lot of love and affection, as well as reluctance in Jun Yuanming's eyes.

She smiled, just like the day we first met.

"I love you, too."

They traveled all the time and would only return to the palace once every five years. Because the carriages moved slowly and the distance was long, sometimes they might be in a neighboring country and it would take more than half a year for them to return to the palace.

If I go back once a year, all my time will be spent on the road.

Thousands of ships have passed by, and the years are unforgiving.

Jun Yuanming originally thought that because of the injuries he suffered in the war when he was young, he would only live to be seventy at most, but his Qing'er was still very young, so he cherished every day with Qing'er.

As a result, at the age of 75, he is still very healthy. Those hidden illnesses he thought he had never recurred, and he is still strong and healthy.

He suddenly thought of the bowl of soup that Qing'er had given him.

But he didn't dare to ask. The longer he spent with Qing'er, the more he remembered how she looked when they first met. The gentle yet powerful woman in front of him was her.

Seeing Jun Yuanming staring at her without saying anything, Lin Muqing asked, "What are you looking at?"

The hand that was waving in front of him was caught by Jun Yuanming, "Qing'er, do you want to go to Zhenping? There is the most beautiful peach garden there."

"Then why didn't you say so earlier!" Lin Muqing looked at his gray hair. Sure enough, the handsome man was still handsome even when he got old. "Then let's go back to the palace after watching the peach blossoms."

Jun Yuanming understood that what she meant by returning to the palace was to settle down.

"Qing'er is still beautiful and young because of me. If I were not old, we could travel to more places."

Lin Muqing smiled sweetly and snuggled in his arms, "But I don't dislike Ah Ming. After all, I came here for you."

"I'll always be with you."

Jun Yuanming's eyes were clear, warm and affectionate. The pure autumn sunlight shone on his head, making his white hair almost golden. He said hello.

Three years later, they returned to the palace. After wandering for most of their lives, their mentality was different from before. Their grandson succeeded to the throne and was already forty years old.

When Jun Yuanming was 90 years old, he had no illness, was still healthy, and had strong legs and feet. But one day, he seemed to know that his time was up.

When Lin Muqing got up early, she was combing her hair. He stood behind her and said, "Qing'er, I want to comb your hair again."

During the days when they were away from the palace, Jun Yuanming was the one who dressed and dressed her. This habit seemed to have started when he saw a couple in an ordinary family doing this. Jun Yuanming thought that since others did it, his lover should have it too. At first, he didn't know how to do it and it caused a lot of laughter, but later he learned it and has been doing it for forty years.

"It won't be the last time." Lin Muqing handed him the headdress worn by the Empress Dowager. It was very complicated, inlaid with golden winds, purple pearl flowers, etc.

Jun Yuanming put it on her carefully. She stood up, with white hair on her temples now, and took his arm.

“It’s beautiful.”

"Going to have breakfast."

Lin Muching knew that his death was approaching. The system said that the repair potion could only heal his physical injuries and he would not live too long. He could not violate the life span rules of this world, otherwise he would lose the energy of her and the system.

They had another wonderful day, had a meal with their children and grandchildren, and left their wishes.

night.

Jun Yuanming felt sleepy, his heart was beating too fast, and he had a premonition that if he closed his eyes he would never wake up again. "Qing'er, if there really is a next life, I want to find you first."

Lin Muqing hugged him gently, with a hint of regret in her tone, "Even if there is another life, you will forget me."

"It's enough to live a happy life."

"Not enough..." Jun Yuanming half-closed his eyes, then suddenly opened them and continued, "Qing'er is still young, go out of the palace more often. I have asked Hongrui to arrange your future. If they dare to bully you, tell me in your dreams..."

Lin Muqing couldn't hear what happened next because he closed his eyes before he finished speaking, and the hand holding her lost its strength. She held him all night to calm down.

As soon as daybreak.

System: [Host, are you leaving? ]

"Let's go." She also slowly closed her eyes.
