The Empress Dowager and her entourage strolled around for a long time. Yan Cheng and Yan Yi had gone to the Southern Border and had not yet returned. These days, the Empress Dowager had gotten used to having Jiang Luo by her side and even wanted to keep Jiang Luo in the palace for a while longer. Jiang Luo had nothing to do, so she agreed.
When Yue Xiyuan and the other two arrived at Chengqian Palace, they saw the two of them being all lovey-dovey. "Nan'er, try this sweet one."
"Hmm, it's really sweet. You should try one too." Gu Yanan also picked a grape and put it in Yue Yufeng's mouth.
"Ugh~" The Chengqian Palace was filled with the stench of romance, it was almost unbearable to look at.
When Gu Yanan saw Yan An return, she felt a little guilty. After all, she and Yue Yufeng had just schemed against the two of them. But for the sake of her own happiness, sacrificing her sister was... justifiable...
"Your Majesty, I've lent you Sister Ya Nan for quite some time now, shouldn't you return her to me?" Yan An stared at Gu Ya Nan's small mouth, hmm... a little red and swollen, looks like the battle went well...
Yue Yufeng and Gu Yanan bid each other a reluctant farewell, left the palace, and boarded the carriage of the Yan residence, while Yue Xiyuan and Su Jingzhan returned to the Regent's Palace.
Inside the carriage, the two chatted and laughed. "Sister Ya Nan, you were so reluctant to part just now, but now you're completely different. If the Emperor finds out, he'll be heartbroken!"
"Hey, the world is vast, but sisters are the most important!" Gu Yanan said, then felt a little guilty. It seemed like when Yue Yufeng was plotting against them, she had been quick to agree. Oh well...
"How could the Emperor let you out today when he was so affectionate? Did you do something for your sisters?" Yan An asked with a mischievous grin, nudging Gu Yanan.
"What are you thinking about all day? Besides, who am I? My status is incomparable to that of ordinary people. If I say go east, do you think Yue Yufeng will go west?"
"Wow, wow, wow... Sister Ya Nan is amazing! You've even subdued the Emperor."
"An'an is amazing. You even managed to win over that eternally cold king, Xiyuan. Back when Yufeng and the Empress Dowager arranged your marriage, Xiyuan was completely unwilling. He thought you were a crybaby and that you were ugly. He looked so disgusted with you. Xiyuan became even more outrageous as he grew up. He didn't even have a single woman around him. There was a princess from a fiefdom who took a liking to Xiyuan. She was willing to be his concubine. But Xiyuan slapped the princess away in front of the envoy. I heard she was bedridden for several months and even developed a chronic illness."
Gu Yanan was by his side on the day the imperial decree was issued, so she knew everything Yue Xiyuan said.
"And you actually dare to look down on me..."
“We all thought that Xiyuan didn’t like women. The Empress Dowager was terrified at the time. She was worried that Xiyuan liked men and that he would harm you.”
"It's strange, every time I try to touch him, Yue Xiyuan runs away. I even suspected he was impotent... but when I take his pulse, there's nothing wrong with him." Yan An whispered in Gu Yanan's ear.
"What? What a coincidence! These two brothers are exactly alike. They don't even know how to take the initiative when it comes to dating. It's okay, sister's happiness... never mind, you should do it yourself. It's too awkward." Gu Yanan wanted to suggest that she try to find out for Yan An, but then she remembered that they were no longer children and it was no longer appropriate.
During their conversation, the two arrived at the gate of the Yan residence.
After the two had dinner, they returned to Yan An's Zi An Courtyard. "General Yan and Madam Yan are really good to you. The courtyard is so pleasantly decorated."
“They are just like modern parents, they love me so much. I am very lucky to have a happy family in both my lives.”
The two entered Yan An's bedroom. "An An, I see you have a Simmons mattress in there. I haven't slept in one for so, so, so long. Shall we sleep in it tonight? Okay?"
Yan An took Gu Yanan's hand and, with a flash of consciousness, said, "Let's go." The two then landed on the comfortable and incredibly soft bed.
"I missed you so much." Gu Yanan hugged the slightly fragrant silk pillow, looking incredibly cute.
"Sister Ya Nan, I've always wanted to ask you, how did you come back to this world?"
"It's a long story." The two lay on the bed, and Gu Yanan told Yan An her story of coming to the Tiancang Continent in detail.
"That year, I had stomach cancer, and even the doctors couldn't save me. My soul left my body, and I was heartbroken to see you all grieving for me. Then an old man with a white beard appeared. He told me that everything was predestined. He said that because I saved you once when you were a child, he could give me a chance to be reborn in the Tiancang Continent, which is another dimension separate from the modern world. He said he could preserve my current memories and be born in that world. He also told me that if I chose the Tiancang Continent, I could reunite with you. If I didn't want to be reborn, I could be reincarnated and given a good family. Because I could see you again, I chose the Tiancang Continent and was born in the Marquis's mansion."
"Is that old man Bai Qing?"
"No, it's Daoist Tianxuan, Venerable Baiqing's master. Daoist Tianxuan told me that one day in the future, you will be taken as a disciple by his apprentice, Venerable Baiqing. After the great calamity, the consciousness of the modern world will also return to the Tiancang Continent, and we will meet again then. An'an, how are my parents?"
"The year after your passing, I persuaded my aunt and uncle to go on a trip to relax. Not long after, they became pregnant. However, because my aunt was an older mother, she hesitated for a while. But one day, my aunt said she dreamed of you, saying that you came to her to continue being a mother. In the year I came, she indeed gave birth to a girl who looked exactly like you when you were born. I think my aunt and uncle won't be lonely now."
A tear rolled down Gu Yanan's cheek. "An'an, it's so good to have someone with them, it's so good to have met you, it's so good that I chose to come to the Tiancang Continent..."
"Yes, that's great, everything is just right."
The two fell asleep in each other's arms.
The emperor was engrossed in handling state affairs in the imperial study. The emperor had already woken up, so Yue Xiyuan simply went back to being a hands-off manager and returned to the Regent's Palace, touching the jade pendant and gazing at his beloved.
Yue Xiyuan lay on the couch, unable to fall asleep for a long time. He secretly vowed that when he saw Yan An again, he would not forgive her easily, since she had left him alone in an empty room after not seeing him for so long.
The next day, the news of Gu Yanan being made empress spread throughout the entire Yue Kingdom. Gu Yanan's father had also quelled rebellions and protected the people's well-being, earning the love of many. Now, Gu Yanan was guarding the western border of the Yue Kingdom and had not returned for many years, so she was also deeply loved by the people. At this time, the love story between the current emperor and empress spread throughout the Yue Kingdom and was passed down from family to family.
