"Aunt, Mother, let's go for a walk to digest our food; it'll be good for our health." Yan An nudged Yue Xiyuan and winked at him: Hurry up and leave some space for your brother and Ya Nan.
Yue Xiyuan nodded: Understood. He helped the Empress Dowager walk out. Before the Empress Dowager could react, Yue Xiyuan whispered something in her ear, and the Empress Dowager became a little anxious, "Yes, yes, An'an is right. Taking a walk after meals can help you live to ninety-nine. You all should come with me for a walk. Feng'er and Ya'nan don't need to go. They've been exhausted these past few days. They should rest."
As Yan An passed by the Emperor, he said softly, "Your Majesty should hurry and make the most of this opportunity. I'm only lending you Sister Ya Nan for a few hours today. Tonight, Sister Ya Nan will accompany me back to the Yan residence."
"Yue Xiyuan, what did you say to your aunt?"
The Empress Dowager and Jiang Luo walked ahead, with Yan An and Yue Xiyuan following behind, while Su Jingzhan wandered aimlessly like a lonely old man.
"I told the Empress Dowager to hurry up and let my brother and Yanan develop their relationship so that she can hold her grandson soon. And that's how it happened." Don't be fooled by the Empress Dowager's previous statement that she wasn't in a hurry to hold her grandson. In fact, she was quite anxious. However, she felt that Yanan was too young, but the Emperor and Gu Yanan were not young anymore. She wished she could hold her grandson right now.
"You can't come to see me today. Sister Ya Nan will be returning to the Yan residence with me today." Before Yan An could finish speaking, Yue Xiyuan stopped and stood still. Su Jingzhan, who was following closely behind, looked at the two of them, shook his head, and walked past them.
At this moment, Yue Xiyuan looked just like a young wife who had been abandoned. He and his brother had indeed been abandoned... Yue Xiyuan tightened his grip on Yan An's hand, as if letting go would mean being snatched away by Gu Yanan.
"Could we... wait until Gu Yanan leaves and go later?" Yue Xiyuan was interrupted by Yan An before he could finish speaking.
"No, Sister Ya Nan will be resting with me today, so she can't come to see me later."
"Hmph!" Yue Xiyuan turned his head away from her, but he didn't let go of her little hand.
In Chengqian Palace, Gu Yanan took the eunuch's whisk and said, "Eunuch Wang, please go down first." When she was a child, Gu Yanan always snatched the eunuch's whisk to play with the emperor and Yue Xiyuan, so it was a habit.
"Tell me, do you know you're wrong?" Gu Yanan pointed at Yue Yufeng with her whisk, looking quite accusatory.
Yue Yufeng took the whisk and said, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I admit my mistake."
"Tell me, what did you do wrong?"
"Huh? My mistake was..." Yue Yufeng had no idea what he had done wrong. Could it be that he hadn't gone to see her all these years? The key was that he couldn't go anyway, even though he had exchanged letters with her every year, though he hadn't received a single reply.
"If Nan'er tells me where I'm wrong, then I'm wrong. If Nan'er doesn't tell me, then I'm wrong about everything. Or why don't you hit me a few times to vent your anger?" Heaven knows how he was supposed to answer! Ah! Ah! This was truly a death trap!
"It seems you don't know what you did wrong. If I hit you, I'm afraid your ministers will execute me by slow slicing," Gu Yanan said angrily, turning to leave.
Of course she was angry. She was angry that he didn't know how to take care of himself and how to guard against backstabbers. If it weren't for An'an and Su Jingzhan, he would have been dead. How could she come back to see him and spend the rest of her life with him?
Yue Yufeng, seeing Gu Yanan was about to leave in anger, grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms with a strong pull. "Even when Nan'er is angry, she is extremely beautiful."
Six years had passed, and his heart was moved. He couldn't help but lower his head and kiss those chattering lips, soft and sweet, addictive and intoxicating.
After a long while... Gu Yanan thought that Yan An had already gotten the better deal, so she wanted to touch him too. Her hands moved towards Yue Yufeng's abdomen, little by little, and she was about to succeed.
Yue Yufeng thought Gu Yanan was going to run away, so he bound her hands, gently pulled his lips away from her red lips, and said in a hoarse voice, "Nan'er, behave yourself!" He then cupped her face again and kissed her passionately.
Well... she failed, but it seems alright this way.
The two moved from the imperial tea bed to the dragon bed, their passion swirling and intoxicating. At the height of their intimacy, Gu Yanan could clearly feel the burning sensation in Yue Yufeng's abdomen. Could they really be going to climax today...?
"What are you thinking about? You're not paying attention at all!" Yue Yufeng held Gu Yanan to his chest, the clear and passionate sound of his heartbeat making the atmosphere extremely ambiguous.
Seeing that Gu Yanan remained silent, Yue Yufeng said, "Nan'er, how about we don't leave this time? We'll get married, and you'll be the Empress of Yue Kingdom, the only mistress of the harem, and my only wife. I know you don't want to be bound by this palace. If you ever want to travel and enjoy the scenery, I'll go with you. But we can't tell Xiyuan about this, or we won't be able to leave." Yue Yufeng spoke to himself, envisioning a bright future, though he didn't know if Gu Yanan would agree.
At this moment, Yue Xiyuan was still jealous that he couldn't spend some time alone with Yan An, completely unaware that his elder brother had already meticulously planned his future.
"Okay, I won't leave." Gu Yanan snuggled closer to Yue Yufeng and hugged him back.
"What? Nan'er, what did you just say?" Yue Yufeng seemed to have gone deaf, insisting that Gu Yanan repeat herself.
“I said, I’m not leaving, I’ll stay and be your wife,” Gu Yanan shouted at Yue Yufeng.
Even the eunuch Wang outside heard it, and he couldn't help but laugh for a long time. Back when Gu Yanan left, the emperor didn't eat or drink for several days. If it weren't for the burden of Yue Kingdom, the eunuch Wang was afraid that the emperor wouldn't be able to hold on. "General Gu is back, that's great."
"Alright, I'll have the Imperial Astronomical Observatory calculate an auspicious day, and we'll get married right away. Mother has been waiting to hold the Emperor's grandson for many years. Nan'er, you must make it up to me. Look at other men, they already have several children."
Yue Yufeng hugged Gu Yanan and rubbed against her shoulder, making Gu Yanan feel ticklish.
"What does it have to do with me? There are plenty of people in the world who want to have your child." Ah! Ah! She didn't want him to have a child with someone else. How could she say such a thing? Could she take back what she said?
"I only want to have a child with Nan'er." Yue Yufeng gave Gu Yanan a quick kiss on the lips.
"Eunuch Wang, come in and convey my decree: Gu Yanan, daughter of Marquis Gu, is hereby conferred the title of Empress for her virtues of gentleness, respect, and propriety. The Imperial Astronomical Bureau is hereby ordered to calculate an auspicious day for the ceremony."
"This servant obeys the decree." After leaving, Eunuch Wang went to find the Imperial Observatory, where he encountered the group that had returned.
"This servant greets the Empress Dowager, the Regent, Lady Yan, Princess An, and Physician Su. Empress Dowager, it is a joyous occasion! His Majesty has decreed that preparations be made for the grand wedding."
"Good, good, good, Feng'er has finally come to her senses." Ever since Gu Yanan left, the Empress Dowager had always felt that the Emperor would be alone for the rest of his life. She had tried to get the Emperor to take a concubine, but the two always ended badly. Today is truly a double celebration.
