She didn't stop until she heard Dongfang Ran crying. She went to ask Rendong, and it turned out that Dongfang Ran was just hungry. The wet nurse fed him slowly, and he was anxious. She couldn't help but laugh. Who could be so impatient?
When I told Dongfang Jin about this, Dongfang Jin smiled happily: "Just as I say. I was like this when I was a child. Normally, I would be so hungry before dinner. Later, my mother told me that if a person cannot control himself, he is a failure. Later, I was able to control myself. When Ran'er grows up a little, I will tell him the same thing."
"I don't know if someone will plot against him, but I won't let that happen." An Qingran gritted her teeth.
Seeing her like this, Dongfang Jin patted her shoulder and said, "I won't let this happen either."
An Qingran also relaxed a little after hearing this, and smiled and said, "At least you haven't married three thousand beauties yet, so I guess no one will fight for your favor and play tricks. After you marry, I won't be in a hurry to be on guard."
Hearing this, Dongfang Jin looked at her seriously, then suddenly smiled and gently stroked his nose: "You know I won't do that. Don't I know your little thoughts?"
"How could I have any bad thoughts?" An Qingran smiled deliberately, pretending to be stupid.
Dongfang Jin didn't say much, just said: "You finally saw it. We have a lot of time."
An Qingran felt embarrassed to say more.
She felt that she was no different from those jealous women. If he really married someone else, she would be equally unwilling and might even become jealous like her father's concubines.
But her pride will not allow her to do so. So in the end, will she be like her mother, neglected and finally schemed against by the Little Chef, becoming depressed and unhappy?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
I couldn't help but hold Dongfang Jin's hand tightly: "You won't, right?"
Dongfang Jin nodded: "Why do you suddenly distrust me?"
An Qingran held his hand tightly: "I don't know, maybe it's because so many things have happened that I know how happy it is to be together forever. There was a time when I thought we would never meet again, and I felt that this life was too short..."
Hearing this, Dongfang Jin took a deep breath and put his arm around her shoulders: "Never again."
"Yes, I hope so..." Since her rebirth, An Qingran has been like a fighter, with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, ready to fight any enemy that comes. At this moment, in Dongfang Jin's arms, she really feels tired. With him around, she doesn't have to be so alert...
The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed. The remnants of the bandits had been almost wiped out, and the people had returned to their normal lives. All those who had left their homes began to return home, and the countryside began to redistribute housing and land. Those who returned home were rewarded, and those who refused to return home would also receive relief, but they could not share the property. The people spread the news, and all the refugees hoped to return home as soon as possible. The number of beggars in the capital suddenly decreased, and several porridge shops in the court were closed. Dongfang Jin's affairs also became less frequent, but... There were still a large number of memorials to be processed, so most of the time, An Qingran would take the child to the East Palace to make soup and boil medicine for him. Occasionally, he would bring the memorials back. Under the east window, An Qingran would hold the child and watch him review the memorials. Occasionally, Dongfang Ran would babble a few words, and no one knew what he was saying, but he seldom cried and was always smiling every day. When Dongfang Jin was tired of reviewing, he would hold Dongfang Ran and play for a while. Looking at the two people who looked almost the same, An Qingran would stand there and smile happily...
The matter of Prince Shou has not been dealt with yet, and Dongfang Run has not been found yet, but fortunately Lou Wanyue has forgiven her.
She looked at her again later. She didn't drive herself out, nor did she cry. She just told An Qingran that she was quietly waiting for Dongfang Run to come back.
If he wanted her, she would still live with him for the rest of her life.
An Qingran looked at Lou Wanyue like this and really didn't know what to say. She knew that her words could never make up for her pain. She couldn't even feel herself. After all, she was very happy now.
That day, Dongfang Ruoxue came to visit.
Her identity was very embarrassing, and Prince Shou and his wife had not yet decided how to punish her, so although she had been released from the ban, she was still not allowed to enter the palace. She had submitted her visiting cards several times, and Dongfang Jin finally asked Emperor Yunqi for permission before she was allowed to enter the palace.
The moment An Qingran saw Dongfang Ruoxue, her heart ached, and she stepped forward to help her up: "You...how did you become so thin?"
In fact, after asking the question, she realized that she had just asked a nonsense question.
If it were me, it would be the same.
Dongfang Ruoxue didn't say anything, tears rolled down her cheeks: "Finally I see you..."
"All of you, go out." An Qingran drove all the palace maids out.
After everyone left, she took Dongfang Ruoxue's hand and said, "I know what you are thinking. I will only tell you one thing. Don't worry... Do you understand?"
Dongfang Ruoxue gave a bitter smile. She took the handkerchief handed to her by An Qingran and did not wipe her tears. She just twisted them in her hands and said, "Crown Princess, it is great that you and your son can return to the palace safely."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that either." An Qingran didn't want to talk about the past anymore. Thinking about it, her heart felt like it was rolling around in a frying pan, and she would break out in a cold sweat, not for herself, but for Ran'er.
She couldn't imagine how she would survive if something happened to Ran'er.
Dongfang Ruoxue moved again, looking a little uncomfortable. An Qingran stared at her waist, his eyes lit up: "Ruoxue, are you... pregnant?"
Dongfang Ruoxue nodded slightly, but she was not very happy. She stroked her belly and said, "Lian Muhan is very nervous. He is waiting outside. I asked him to go find the prince, but he refused to go. He was afraid that something might happen to me. In fact, I have been depressed every day since I found out I was pregnant. But this child is very hardy and nothing happened to him."
"You must not..." An Qingran had already felt her pulse while speaking, and his slightly frowned brows relaxed slightly. "Fortunately, the fetus is stable, and the child is very strong. He may look like my cousin. My cousin was very naughty when he was a child. He climbed up the roof and took off the tiles. He went to the river to catch fish in April. One winter, the maids at home didn't watch him, and he fell into an ice hole. His clothes were soaked, but he didn't make any noise or shout, and continued to play crazily. Later, those maids were almost beaten to death by my aunt."
Dongfang Ruoxue seemed to feel a little better when she heard An Qingran talking about Lian Muchan. Although An Qingran told her not to worry just now, her parents had not been released after all, and she would not feel at ease until they were pardoned.
Thinking of this, she thought for a moment and said, "Crown Princess, I know my parents did something wrong, but I pity them for their advanced age. If you can show mercy, even if you demote them to commoners, as long as you save their lives..."
She paused here because she heard Dongfang Jin and Lian Muhan talking. She couldn't help but feel anxious. Seeing her uneasy, An Qingran felt distressed: "Your behavior will be bad for the child..."
Dongfang Ruoxue nodded. She had finally met the Crown Princess, so of course she could only do what she wanted most.
An Qingran saw that she was so concerned that she seemed to have lost her mind. She had made her words clear enough, but she still didn't understand. She couldn't help but sigh: "The Shou Prince and his wife will be fine."
Dongfang Ruoxue heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this: "Thank you, Crown Princess..."
"Why thank me? The Emperor and the Crown Prince both have ideas about this matter, but the ministers don't allow it. So, this matter will take some time, maybe tomorrow, maybe next month. Also, everything has been arranged in the clan house, and there are special doctors. Princess Shou's rheumatism has not recurred, and Prince Shou's heart disease has not recurred. They are all fine."
Dongfang Ruoxue was deeply moved when she heard the words, and tears started to flow again. She didn't expect that what she heard were the words she wanted to hear the most, and she couldn't help crying. After so long, she could finally cry freely, which was a good thing. An Qingran patted her back gently without saying a word, letting her tears flow. Lian Muhan heard her crying and was outside anxiously wanting to know the situation. An Qingran had to let him in, and Dongfang Jin followed. Dongfang Ruoxue cried even harder when she heard Lian Muhan's voice, and she almost fainted while hugging him. Lian Muhan also looked distressed. Seeing this, Dongfang Jin sighed silently. He and An Qingran looked at each other. An Qingran's sad eyes made his face more resolute.
The next day.
Under the imperial decree, Prince Shou and his wife were demoted to commoners, their property was confiscated, and they were forbidden to enter the capital for the rest of their lives.
Because of the Lou family's contribution to suppressing the rebellion, Lou Wanyue was allowed to temporarily live in Prince Shou's palace.
As for the deadline, there is no set one.
Dongfang Ruoxue was not implicated because she was unaware of the situation.
Therefore, she and Lian Muhan bought a nice house for Prince Shou and his wife in a remote town outside the capital, and also bought a few maids and nannies, so that Prince Shou and his wife would have no worries about food and clothing. After experiencing all these things, Prince Shou was depressed. Fortunately, Princess Shou was a calm person, and she liked this beautiful town very much. She felt more at ease and felt much better. She comforted Prince Shou from time to time. The couple just waited quietly for news from Dongfang Run.
Lou Wanyue was the same, quietly waiting for Dongfang Run to come back.
The same goes for An Qingran...
May 6th.
An auspicious day.
Emperor Yunqi held a grand banquet in the palace to celebrate Dongfang Ran's centenary.
On the same day, Emperor Yunqi announced his abdication.
Crown Prince Dongfang Jin inherited the throne.
The reign title was changed to Jin'an.
At the same time, a general amnesty was declared.
The death row prisoners in the prison and those who participated in Prince Shou's rebellion were spared the death penalty and exempted from taxes for three years. The people all applauded and spread the news.
Dongfang Jin also reformed the civil service system and implemented clean and honest politics. For a time, the government and the people were united and the country prospered.
Next is the ceremony of crowning the queen.
That day was even more grand than the prince's wedding, but it was also no less lively.
That night.
An Qingran looked at the room full of red candles, the bright red curtains, and the phoenix crown that Dongfang Jin had specially made for her. She couldn't help but feel dazed. If she hadn't heard Ran'er's crying, she would have really thought that today was her wedding night.
The big Dongzhu on the phoenix crown was shaking slightly. This was the national treasure of Dongze. Dongfang Jin had inlaid it on his own phoenix crown. Wearing this phoenix crown, An Qingran felt that he had an extremely heavy responsibility, as if he was carrying the whole country on his shoulders.
As she was lost in thought, a tall figure appeared behind her in the mirror, with a handsome face full of happiness. He put his arm around An Qingran's shoulders and smiled, "My queen, I'm here..."
This title is unfamiliar, but it gives me an inexplicable feeling, that is the feeling of ruling the world and holding great power.
Perhaps all the experiences before were for this moment.
An Qingran was even more filled with emotion. She had lived two lives as a human being and now she was the queen. All the vengeance that should be avenged had been taken. Her child who had never been born should rest in peace. She had been chanting the mantra for him for so many years...
She forced a smile and said, "My emperor, what do you want me to do?"
"I'm here to sleep with you!" Dongfang Jin had a wicked smile on his face.
An Qingran laughed, all the sadness just now faded away. She smiled and glared at him: "You are the king of a country, but you are still so unruly."
"I don't care even if I am the ruler of several countries. What matters is that I am your husband. This is what I care about the most." Dongfang Jin was a little emotional when he said this. He gently took off the phoenix crown for her, his eyes suppressed his emotions, "I had a wish before, which I have never told anyone, that is, I hope I can live past the age of 20..."
Hearing this, An Qingran felt a pain in her heart. Although she knew that he was in great health now, she still couldn't help but feel frightened and afraid. She didn't dare to recall the past. She was afraid that her memories would be wrong and affect the present, making this happiness like a bubble.
Dongfang Jin continued, "Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. Qingqing, I want this world just to protect you..."
Dongfang Jin was so moved that he couldn't continue speaking.
An Qing then held his hand, and their eyes met in the mirror. The emotions in their eyes were indescribable.
She turned around and slowly moved closer to Dongfang Jin's arms, her voice choking: "Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. I never thought I could find a true lover, and Ran'er, you two are everything to me..."
Dongfang Jin was also filled with emotion upon hearing this. The two of them took the wine cups on the table and drank from each other. When they talked about the past in their drunken state, they could not help sighing...
In the dead of night, the candlelight sways in the room, creating a graceful and graceful atmosphere. The bright red curtain cannot block the tenderness. The two figures in the curtain overlap and rise and fall. It is the most intoxicating picture. The starlight is dim, and the moonlight is brighter. Through the Qianxia gauze window, the moonlight and candlelight shine together, like a perfect blend of water and milk, with flowing light all over the ground...
"Qingqing...you are so beautiful." Dongfang Jin called emotionally.
The beauty on the bed was like a jade sculpture, her misty eyes half-opened, the light was infinitely bright, her delicate lips parted slightly, but at this moment, she could not utter a complete word, only a moan, which was interrupted by rapid breathing, her slender waist arched towards Dongfang Jin, seeking greater pleasure...
