Chapter 126: The End of the Main Text Preview "The Group's Pet Three-Year-Old Little..."
Chapter 126
A man who has just tasted the sweetness of love in his twenties is physically strong and full of energy. He embraces his beloved, greedily taking what he wants, without stopping.
That night, Meng Yuning was like a lone boat drifting on the boundless ocean, floating up and down, rising and falling, feeling both extremely happy and extremely exhausted...
In short, Meng Yuning deeply appreciated Qi Jingyan's good intentions in letting her get enough rest that night.
When the wind and waves died down and the world became quiet, she lay limply on the soft blanket, not even having the strength to lift her eyes.
She didn't care about being embarrassed and let him help her to tidy herself up carefully. Then, both of them were still naked, and he put her in his arms from behind, hugging her tightly, perfectly fitting together.
Meng Yuning felt as if she was wrapped in a scorching stove. She weakly nudged him twice with her arms, complaining that she was hot and asking him to move away.
Qi Jingyan, however, was like a scoundrel, just holding her and smiling, refusing to move at all.
As they played and tugged at each other, Meng Yuning sensed he was about to strike back again. Her heart trembled, and she quickly kicked him back, feigning anger and saying, "I'm so tired."
But even when the exhausted girl got angry, she was sweet and soft, not intimidating at all, but rather adorable. Qi Jingyan felt his heart soften at the sight of her, knowing what she was nervous about. He sighed softly and then kissed the top of her head soothingly: "Rest, don't worry, I won't mess around anymore."
Meng Yuning heard this sentence several times in one night and no longer believed him at all. She rolled her eyes and snorted heavily to express her dissatisfaction.
Seeing her puffed up like a little pufferfish, Qi Jingyan couldn't help laughing. After thinking for a moment, he stood up and grabbed a piece of her small dress that had been casually thrown at the end of the bed, placing it between them to show his determination: "This time it's real."
The dress was as thin as a cicada's wing, but the texture of silk was a little cool. Meng Yuning felt much less threatened, and her heart relaxed a little. She decided to trust him for once.
Qi Jingyan really kept his word this time and just patted her gently. His movements were gentle and full of love and affection, with no bad intentions.
Fatigue came over Meng Yuning like a tidal wave. Her eyelids began to droop, and she soon closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Just before she fell asleep, she secretly vowed to herself that she would exercise more diligently and improve her physical fitness...
---
The Empress Dowager felt sorry for the two children who had gone through so much hardship and finally achieved their goal, so she exempted the two children from paying respects the day after their wedding, saying that they should have a good rest.
There was no need to get up early, so Qi Jingyan hugged An Ning and slept until noon. He only opened his eyes when An Ning recovered her strength and woke up naturally.
The moment Meng Yuning opened her eyes, she saw Qi Jingyan. In a trance, she thought she was in Yanfu Residence. She smiled with her eyes curved, her voice slightly hoarse: "Your Highness, are you awake?"
Qi Jingyan looked lazy. He laughed out loud when he heard that and rubbed her head with his hand: "But I was confused from sleeping."
Meng Yuning looked at his smooth and firm arms, then she remembered everything that happened last night. Her face suddenly turned red and she pulled up the quilt to cover her face.
Qi Jingyan laughed happily and rubbed her head with his hand. "Then I'll get up first. Ah Ning, lie down for a while."
After saying that, he sat up from the quilt and went to get clothes from the clothes rack not far away.
Meng Yuning heard footsteps, pulled off the quilt, looked over, and her eyes instantly sparked. Her man had such a great body.
Qi Jingyan seemed to have eyes on his back, smiled silently, took his underwear and put it on, then took his inner shirt and put it on, and suddenly turned around.
Meng Yuning was like a child who had been caught doing something wrong. She pulled the quilt up again guiltily. When she heard the man's joyful laughter, she pulled the quilt down and looked at him openly with her eyes wide open.
As she watched, she propped up her head with one hand and her chin with the other, raising an eyebrow at him. She had already slept with this man, so what was there to feel guilty about?
Seeing her unruly behavior and the look of a pervert obsessed with beauty, Qi Jingyan laughed so hard that his hands were shaking and he couldn't hold on to his clothes, which fell directly to the ground. Finally, he laughed so hard that he held his waist with one hand and waved the other hand non-stop, indicating that he gave up.
Meng Yuning snorted, sat up wrapped in the quilt, and ordered without any courtesy: "Bring my clothes here."
Qi Jingyan smiled and nodded, wanting to say "I will obey the Empress's order", but he was laughing so hard that he couldn't speak.
He laughed for a long time before stopping. He raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, took her clothes off the hanger, handed them to Ah Ning, and sat down beside the bed: "Do you want me to help you put them on?"
As he said this, he held her tender white feet that were exposed outside the quilt.
Meng Yuning quickly pulled her feet back, wrapped the quilt more tightly around her, and looked at him warily, "I can do it myself."
Qi Jingyan was amused to see his newlywed wife being on guard against him like a thief. He shook his head helplessly and said okay, then got up to put on his own clothes. Then he went into the bathroom to wash up, leaving her space to get dressed.
Meng Yuning stuck her head out and saw that the bathroom door was closed. She breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put on her inner and outer clothes and shoes and went out.
Looking back at the messy bed, he quickly climbed up and pulled the bedding until it didn't look so ridiculous. Then he got down again and grabbed the small clothes that Qi Jingyan had used last night, intending to wash them himself later.
Qi Jingyan quickly washed up. Meng Yuning pretended to be normal, brushed past him and walked into the bathroom.
Qi Jingyan turned and watched her go. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of something tightly clutched in her hands, her back behind her back. His Adam's apple rolled unconsciously. He felt a surge of heat. He walked to the table, poured himself a cup of cold tea, and drank it all in one gulp. Then he walked to the door and opened it. A gust of cold air hit him, and only then did he feel a little refreshed.
When the room became cooler and the air was fresher, he quickly closed the door, fearing that Aning would catch a cold if she came out.
Not long after, Meng Yuning came out dressed and saw Qi Jingyan still standing in front of the window with his black hair draped over his shoulders, wondering what he was thinking.
She walked over gently, hugged his waist from behind, put her face on his back, and said nothing, just accompanying him silently.
Qi Jingyan held her hand, pinching her delicate fingers one by one, and spoke for a long time: "A Ning, tomorrow, let's go burn incense for our mother."
Meng Yuning replied softly, "Okay."
After returning to the capital for so long, Qi Jingyan has never suggested going to his mother's tomb to pay homage, and she has never dared to mention it. She had originally thought of asking him about it in the past two days, but she didn't expect that he would take the initiative to bring it up today.
Meng Yuning was happy for him and rubbed her face against his back: "Yunzhou, we are getting married. Mother will definitely be happy for us."
Qi Jingyan was silent for a moment, then turned around, held Ah Ning in his arms, bent down slightly, and rested his chin on her shoulder: "Well, mother will be happy."
The two hugged for a while, and Meng Yuning pulled Qi Jingyan to sit at the dressing table. She took a sandalwood comb and slowly combed his hair. Then she tied it into a bun and helped him put on the jade crown. She stood behind him and looked in the mirror, nodded with satisfaction, and said exaggeratedly: "Wow, this is simply the most handsome groom in the world."
Qi Jingyan was amused and laughed out loud, and his depressed and sad mood improved unconsciously.
Then he stood up, pushed An Ning into the chair, and started combing her hair, but he only knew how to comb it straight and nothing else.
Meng Yuning tied her hair into a simple and elegant bun, picked out a gold hairpin inlaid with rubies and put it on, and then put on the matching earrings. Then she turned to show Qi Jingyan: "How is it? Does it look good?"
Qi Jingyan smiled and nodded: "It looks good."
Meng Yuning stood up, took his cloak, and gently draped it over his shoulders. She also tied her own cloak, took his hand, and went out to the Cining Palace.
As soon as they entered the Cining Palace, Yi'er, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed over impatiently. He first politely bowed to Qi Jingyan, then turned around and hugged Meng Yuning: "Why are you here so late, An Ning? Yi'er wanted to go and tell you to get up, but the Empress Dowager wouldn't let me."
Meng Yuning touched Yi'er's little face and whispered to Qi Jingyan: "Brother drank too much yesterday, that's why he got up late."
Yi'er glared at her brother in dissatisfaction, then took An Ning's hand and walked to the Empress Dowager: "Grandmother, look, An Ning is here."
The Empress Dowager looked at the beautiful girl with loving eyes and said with a smile, "I see."
Qi Jingyan and Meng Yuning stood side by side, then knelt before the Grand Empress Dowager, kowtowed solemnly, and said, "Grandson/granddaughter-in-law pays respects to the Empress Dowager."
The Empress Dowager looked at the perfect couple in front of her, tears of relief welling up in the corners of her eyes. She said softly, "Good children," and then nodded to Nanny Tao.
Nanny Tao respectfully brought the Phoenix Seal, and the Grand Empress Dowager took it personally and solemnly handed it to Meng Yuning: "A Ning, from now on, I will entrust the affairs of the harem to you with peace of mind."
Meng Yuning turned her head to look at Qi Jingyan, and when she saw him smile and nod, she took the phoenix seal with both hands and said, "Grandson's daughter-in-law will definitely live up to the trust placed in her by the Empress Dowager."
The Empress Dowager smiled and helped the two of them up.
After Meng Yuning stood up, she handed the wind seal to Mu Ying behind her, then took a brown headband embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns from Meng Jin and handed it to the empress dowager with both hands: "Grandmother, this is a little gift from my granddaughter-in-law. The needlework is crude, so please don't despise it."
The Empress Dowager had everything she needed. After much deliberation, she finally followed Qiulian's lead in learning how to make a headband. The embroidery wasn't particularly good, but it was the best of all the ones she had made.
The Empress Dowager took the headband, looked at it carefully, smiled from ear to ear, praised An Ning for her filial piety, and put it on her head immediately.
Then, holding Yi'er's hand in one hand and An Ning's in the other, he walked briskly towards the dining hall. "You guys haven't eaten yet, have you? I've already had it prepared. Let's go have a bowl of chicken soup to warm our stomachs."
Qi Jingyan followed the three people slowly, recalling those bizarre dreams in which the Empress Dowager was already bedridden and unable to get up.
At this moment, the Empress Dowager's steps were brisk and her back was steady. Just as Doctor Tang said, living another ten or twenty years would be no problem. Qi Jingyan's eyes and eyebrows were all filled with a deep smile.
---
The next morning, Qi Jingyan, Meng Yuning, and Yier, along with their guards, left the palace in disguise and headed straight for the imperial mausoleum outside the city.
In the spacious and comfortable carriage, Meng Yuning sat in the middle, with Qi Jingyan leaning on her left and Yi'er leaning on her right. The three of them snuggled together quietly, and no one spoke.
When they reached the steps outside the imperial mausoleum, everyone got off the car and walked.
Arriving in front of the tomb of Empress Dowager Muren, the three men knelt in awe and kowtowed three times. The crowd behind them also kowtowed in unison. Heaven and earth were silent, with only the rustling of clothes.
After so many years, Yier could no longer remember his mother's appearance clearly, but kneeling here, he could not help but burst into tears: "Mom, Yier is here to see you."
Seeing the young boy's shoulders shaking with tears, Meng Yuning felt a pang of pain in her heart. She reached out and gently put her arm around Yi'er's shoulders, silently comforting him.
Qi Jingyan knelt straight, his thin lips tightly pursed, grief welling up in his eyes, but he didn't say a word.
Meng Yuning's heart tightened when she saw this. She reached out and took his hand, squeezing it hard.
Yi'er cried heartbrokenly, then stopped sobbing, wiped her eyes with her hand, and then spoke again: "Mother, this is An Ning, the best An Ning in the world. Originally, Yi'er wanted to marry her when he grew up..."
Seeing that the little guy was about to talk nonsense, Qi Jingyan calmed down and quickly said, "Mother, this is An Ning, your daughter-in-law. An Ning is the best girl in the world. If you could meet her, you would definitely like her as much as I do."
After Qi Jingyan finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Meng Yuning.
Meng Yuning kowtowed again and said, "Mother, your daughter-in-law, An Ning, is here. Although I am not as kind as Yun Zhou and Yi Er, please rest assured. From now on, Yun Zhou and Yi Er will be left to me. I will take good care of them."
A gust of cold wind suddenly swept past the mausoleum, carrying snow particles that danced around the tombstone for a moment before quietly dissipating.
Yi'er excitedly tugged at his brother's sleeve: "Mom heard us talking!"
A light also appeared in Qi Jingyan's eyes, but the world suddenly returned to silence, and the light in his eyes slowly dimmed.
The two brothers looked at the vast sky and earth, pursed their lips at the same time, and looked lonely.
Meng Yuning saw this and felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. She held their cold hands tightly and suggested softly, "The New Year is coming soon. Let's burn the gold ingots and paper money we brought for the Queen."
The two agreed, so Mu Yun and others who were kneeling behind them quickly stood up, put the tributes they brought in place, and then brought the copper basin, paper money and other items to the front. The three of them knelt around the copper basin and started burning them one by one.
Yi'er was still talking to the tablet in Lingnan, chattering about daily trivial matters while burning paper, and Meng Yuning would occasionally add a few words, but until all the things he brought were burned, Qi Jingyan did not say a word and remained silent.
When the last spark in the copper basin went out, the remaining warmth was instantly swallowed up by the cold wind, and the surroundings suddenly became cold.
Seeing Qi Jingyan still kneeling in front of the monument like a stone sculpture, Meng Yuning gently took Yi'er's hand, nodded slightly to Mu Yun and others who were kneeling behind him, and led everyone to retreat quietly to a distance.
The wind was cold and the sky was gray.
Qi Jingyan knelt for a long time in the snowy wind, finally crawling forward on his knees, his trembling fingertips tracing the cold inscriptions on the stele over and over again. As he stroked the last stroke, the grief he had suppressed for years finally burst forth. He suddenly leaned forward, resting his forehead against the stele, and burst into tears.
Why were we so stupid and not prepared back then?
Why don’t those dreams that predict the future come earlier?
Why? Why on earth?
Listening to the grief-stricken cries, everyone couldn't help but bow their heads and wiped their tears silently.
Yi'er was so anxious that she wanted to go forward to comfort her brother, but Meng Yuning hugged her and sobbed, "Be good, Yi'er, let your brother cry."
Yier agreed, hugged Aning's neck tightly with his two little hands, and whimpered softly.
Meng Yuning hugged Yi'er tightly, and accompanied Qi Jingyan quietly with everyone until the sad cries gradually subsided and Qi Jingyan fell weakly on the monument. Then she took Yi'er's hand and walked forward quickly.
She knelt down and gently pulled him into her arms from between the cold stone tablets. She hugged him, patted his back, and said softly, "Yunzhou, this was never your fault. Mother's spirit in heaven only wishes you peace and happiness."
Yier hugged his brother from behind and imitated An Ning's words of comfort: "Brother, mother loves to see us smile the most. When we smile, mother will be happy."
Qi Jingyan was silent for a long time, and finally opened his arms and took the big and small into his arms, hugging them tightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, let's live well."
Meng Yuning nodded with tears in her eyes: "Yes, and smile happily, mother can see it."
Yi'er raised his head from his brother's arms and said loudly to the tombstone, "Mother, did you hear me?"
Another whirlwind happened to blow by, carrying snow flakes that gently swirled around the three of them, and then dispersed into the vast sky.
Yi'er was surprised and delighted, jumping for joy: "Mom heard it, really heard it!"
Meng Yuning squeezed Qi Jingyan's hand, and together with Yi'er, they kowtowed three more times in front of the tombstone.
After a moment of silence in the wind and snow, Qi Jingyan finally spoke in a low voice: "I will come to visit mother another day."
Then he pulled Aning and Yier up, held their hands, and led everyone down the mountain.
Children's emotions come and go quickly.
Yi'er held her brother's hand with her left hand and An Ning's with her right hand, walking between the two of them. She chattered excitedly about the two gusts of wind just now: "An Ning, mother can really hear us talking!"
Meng Yuning didn't know if it was a coincidence or fate, so she just replied softly, "Yes, mother has been accompanying us in heaven."
Qi Jingyan looked back at the tombstone that was getting farther and farther away, and remembered that when he was crying in front of the tombstone just now, there was also a gust of wind lingering around him.
He looked up at the sky, and his furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
Rest assured, mother. I will take Aning and Yier with me, serve grandma, look after my relatives, guard the vast land of Daxing, protect the people of the world, and continue to move forward in peace.
Meng Yuning sensed Qi Jingyan's change in mood and squeezed his hand tightly. When he looked over, she smiled and said to him, "Yunzhou, everything will be fine."
Qi Jingyan and Yi'er were infected by her smile and repeated in unison: "Everything will be fine!"
The three of them couldn't help but laugh.
Meng Yuning waved their hands and called to Mu Yun, Mu Shan and the others behind them: "Let's go, let's go back to the palace quickly. The New Year's Eve palace banquet the day after tomorrow will be too noisy and it won't be enjoyable. Let's cook our own food today and have a good time."
Ever since leaving Canghai County, things have been happening one after another, and Meng Yuning hasn't had the chance to cook, so everyone has missed the chance to enjoy their meals. When they heard her cheerful tone, they were all infected by her and excitedly named the dishes.
Yi'er jumped up and down: "Aning, Yi'er wants to eat cumin lamb, sweet and sour spare ribs, and braised pork elbow!"
Meng Yuning agreed and turned to ask the guards, "Mu Feng, Mu Yun, what about you? Is there anything you'd like to eat?"
Mu Feng said happily: "My lady, I want to eat spicy and delicious boiled fish slices."
Mu Jiang rushed to say, "It's winter, eating mutton hotpot is so refreshing."
Meng Jin: "A few sheep just arrived at the imperial kitchen this morning."
Mu Shan rubbed his hands, eager to try: "There are also stewed beef with potatoes, braised lamb chops, stewed chicken with mushrooms, fried eggplant boxes, steamed shrimp dumplings, ..., Your Majesty, these subordinates can make them all."
As everyone was talking, the sound of slurping saliva could be heard one after another. It was really greedy.
Meng Yuning laughed heartily upon hearing this, and with a wave of her hand, she said boldly, "Okay, okay, let's do it all! It's New Year's Eve, and everyone can enjoy a feast!"
Seeing that An Ning hadn't asked him anything for a long time, Qi Jingyan, unwilling to be left behind, took the initiative to speak: "An Ning, I just want one or two home-cooked dishes."
Meng Yuning smiled and replied, "Okay, okay, then I'll make some vinegar-stirred cabbage for Your Majesty."
Hearing the teasing in Meng Yuning's words, everyone laughed out loud...
