Although he is handsome, he looks like a madman.
Sheng Xiyan smiled and said, "Mother, I believe what father said. Unfortunately, my spiritual power is not enough to calculate your past life."
While the Queen Mother was hesitating, Qingtian had already hugged her and said affectionately, "Yuehua, is it because you are older than me that you can't accept it? It doesn't matter. I can make you younger and give you the elixir of immortality."
Le Zhao ran over and said, "Grandpa, give me one too so I can give it to Grandma."
Everyone laughed, and the Queen Mother's face flushed. She felt the surprise and shyness of a little girl being proposed to. No matter whether what the man said was true or not, she was not at a loss anyway. After all, he was handsome, so she might as well treat it as having an extra male favorite.
Xuan Ling raised his glass and said, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival and it is indeed a big reunion, but there is still one person missing."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard the clanging of armor at the palace gate.
The general stood up suddenly, and the jade pendant on his waist hit the table with a "bang".
A man in military uniform stood under the osmanthus tree, looking dusty but with a bright gaze.
"Father!" When Sheng Xiyan was about to jump over the railing, she stood up unconsciously, her fingertips trembling slightly.
When Qi Yan knelt on one knee, the sound of iron armor colliding with blue bricks made a clear sound: "Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission and returned."
Xuan Ling embraced his trembling wife and whispered in her ear, "Yan Yan, I wanted to give you a surprise."
"Qi Yan, come on, take a seat. It's a happy reunion only when you're here."
Jiang Jiang brought the princess to see Qi Yan again, "Father, have a drink."
Qi Yan's face was weathered by the wind and sand, yet it revealed his determination. He took the wine glass with a smile, "Good children, sit down. Father has a lot to say to you."
He unconsciously looked at the emperor and the empress, and finally saw the girl he had been thinking about day and night. She seemed to be living a happy life.
Sheng Xiyan buried her face in Xuan Ling's arms, smelling the sweet scent of osmanthus mixed with ambergris, and tears finally rolled down.
"Be good, don't cry, you should be happy." Xuan Ling coaxed her gently and stuffed a cherry into her mouth.
At some point, Qingtian pulled out a bright lotus from his sleeve like a magic trick.
"Yuehua, this is for you."
The Queen Mother patted the back of his hand in an angry manner, but a girlish smile appeared at the corners of her eyes.
Sheng Xiyan looked at her loved ones in the room, and suddenly felt that the bright moonlight was all melted into this cup of reunion wine.

Twenty-eight years later, on the dragon bed, Sheng Xiyan was wearing a phoenix robe, a phoenix crown on her head, with a head full of silver hair, and closed her eyes peacefully.
Xuan Ling held her hand tightly and called out softly, "Yanyan, don't be afraid. Your husband will go with you soon."
He took out a jade bottle from his bosom and poured out a pill.
The children below cried, "Father! No!"
Xuan Ling's hair was silver, and his golden crown shone brightly. "My children, your mother will be scared if she's alone, so I'll leave with her. You're all grown up, and I believe you can take care of yourselves. Yuchen, I'm relieved to leave the vast empire to you."
He swallowed the pill, and Yu Chen and Le Zhao helped him lie down next to Sheng Xiyan.
He took her in his arms and kissed her forehead.
"Yanyan, you are so beautiful, just like when I first saw you - your husband will always be delighted with you."
Their wrists were pressed together, and two red ropes were faintly visible. They were the red ropes tied by Yue Lao in the previous life.
Xuan Ling's arms suddenly dropped, he closed his eyes, and his face looked peaceful.
"Father! Queen Mother!"
"Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!
"Long live the Queen, long live the Queen!"
The bell rang, the queen passed away, and Emperor Xuanwu died.
The cries were so loud that they reached the sky.
Yu Chen, wearing a dragon robe, raised his tearful eyes.
Suddenly, a pair of fairies in flowing white robes rose from the bodies of the Emperor and the Empress, holding hands and saying with a smile, "Yu Chen, the Emperor and the Empress have returned to the Ninth Heaven."
Yu Chen kowtowed reverently and said, "Father, Mother, please don't forget to come back and see us!"
*
The ninth heaven.
Qi Yan had returned to heaven two years ago and was lying on the roof, crossing his legs and counting the clouds.
Why haven’t Dijun and Ayan come back yet!
Although it is not kind to wish someone dead, he really wants them to come back soon.
Suddenly, a pair of immortal lovers appeared flying on the colorful clouds.
He managed to stand up, and after seeing clearly, he waved happily: "Emperor! A Yan! You are finally back!"
Xuan Ling hugged Sheng Xiyan and fell into the Zixi Heavenly Palace, saying with a smile: "Qi Yan, go and tell the Emperor of Heaven that I want to marry the Empress."
Sheng Xiyan asked shyly, "Why, am I getting married again?"
Qi Yan muttered beside him, "You can consider me."
Xuan Ling swung his sleeves and pulled him away, "How dare you!"
Qi Yan ran out and said with a smile, "I'm going to report to the Emperor of Heaven right now and ask him to make your wedding a grand and exciting one!"
Xuan Ling picked up Sheng Xiyan by the waist and asked, "Why, you still don't want to marry me?"
"I don't want to." Sheng Xiyan acted coquettishly on purpose.
Xuan Ling kicked the door open and carried her into the house, "Really? Wait, even if you beg for mercy, I won't be soft-hearted."
"Do you want your husband to feel pain? Hmm?"
"Oh, I also want to see if there are any changes in Zixi Palace!"
"There's plenty of time. Let's take our time. Now let's do something important..."
"You are an old immortal who has fallen into the mortal world. You have no shame..."
"Whether mortal or immortal, no one can escape the word love... Come on, let your husband kiss you..."
.......
Yanyan, Xuanling, Jiangjiang, Qiyan, Yuchen...
Every character here is a person I created with my heart. They are souls with flesh and blood and will continue to live happily in a parallel time and space.
Parting is always sad.
I couldn't bear to torture them, so I gave them all a happy ending.
