"Hydrogen!"
Hua Qingcheng, who was holding Bai Xun, called out softly. Then, a middle-aged woman who looked neat and capable walked in from outside the hall.
Yiqing bowed towards Hua Qingcheng and asked, "What are your commands, Your Majesty?"
Hua Qingcheng turned her head to look towards the Imperial Garden and said leisurely, "Now that the King's uncle has made his choice, we should arrange for the women who participated in the selection to leave the palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
However, just as Yiqing was about to leave to carry out her mission, Hua Qingcheng stopped her again: "Tell the uncle of the emperor not to leave in a hurry. I want to go back to the Hua Mansion with him to visit my mother and father."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Yiqing accepted the order and then bowed and left.
A quarter of an hour later, Hua Qingcheng and Hua Qingguo, dressed in casual clothes, rode in the same carriage. The carriage slowly drove out of the palace and entered the main street of the city.
The streets were bustling with activity, people coming and going, and traffic jams. Hua Qingcheng looked out the window at the scene outside and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this is the true atmosphere of life.
Hua Qingguo sat aside, watching Hua Qingcheng quietly. He knew that although his sister was an emperor, she still longed for the life of an ordinary person deep down.
As the carriage moved forward, Hua Qingcheng's thoughts gradually drifted away. Her eyes would occasionally fall on Hua Qingguo, a look of inquiry in her beautiful eyes.
Hua Qingguo, who noticed that Hua Qingcheng was always staring at her, finally couldn't help but ask, "Sister, what's the matter?"
Hua Qingcheng looked directly into Hua Qingguo's eyes and asked, "Qingguo, are you hiding something from your sister?"
Hua Qingguo's heart trembled slightly when she heard this, but she saw his eyes slightly lowered, and responded evasively: "Qingguo doesn't understand what sister means by this."
Hua Qingcheng looked at Hua Qingguo with a burning gaze, and after a long moment, she asked, "Qingguo, have you... have you made up your mind?"
Hua Qingcheng originally wanted to ask whether Hua Qingguo was related to Bai Yuheng. After all, Hua Qingguo was the son of Hua Rongsheng and Ye Maochun, so how could he play the magic flute?
However, when she thought that today was the last moment to choose a wife for Hua Qingguo, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Because Hua Qingcheng knew that no matter what choice Hua Qingguo made, it would affect his whole life. As his sister, she could only support him silently.
After all, Hua Qingguo has already chosen her marriage partner. Even if it is finally confirmed that there is a connection between Hua Qingguo and Bai Yuheng, or even... even if he is the reincarnation of Bai Yuheng, so what?
In this life, they are already siblings. Can everything be repeated?
Moreover, Hua Qingguo has now found her own happiness, and she cannot be so selfish as to destroy her brother's marriage.
Hua Qingguo's heart tightened after hearing what Hua Qingcheng said. He wondered if he had revealed some flaw that allowed this woman to see through his secret.
Seeing Hua Qingcheng's serious expression, so concerned about his lifelong event, Hua Qingguo gritted his teeth and said, as if he had made a decision, "Sister, Qingguo has made up his mind. Since Ye Ling'er has passed your tests, it proves that she has excellent qualifications in all aspects and good character. Qingguo will marry her according to your wishes."
However, at this moment, an indescribable emotion surged in Hua Qingguo's heart. He couldn't help but think of his past life and the time he spent with Hua Qingcheng, and his heart was filled with sorrow.
But he understood that he was no longer Bai Yuheng, but Hua Qingcheng's younger brother Hua Qingguo, and he had to let go of the emotional entanglement of the past.
Hua Qingcheng hadn't expected her brother to think this way. She couldn't help but say distressedly, "Qingguo, I'm holding this marriage invitation event for you in the hope that you can find an outstanding woman whom you truly love and who can bring you happiness. You don't have to consider my preferences, but follow your own heart. If this batch isn't suitable, I can find you another batch, but the key is that you have to like them yourself."
"Sister, I have already made my choice. There is no need to bother me anymore." Hua Qingguo lowered her eyes slightly, and the light in her bright eyes suddenly dimmed.
Even if he found the next batch, or the next batch after that, what would that matter? Those weren't what he wanted. It would be better to be with Ye Ling'er like this, so that everything would be perfect.
Sister, please forgive me for not being able to recognize you.
In this life, we are already siblings, even if we have no blood relationship at all. However, if you disregard the shackles of worldly affairs for my sake, you will probably be criticized by the world, and even... shake the country.
How could a country like Qing put you in danger of being slaughtered and burned because of its own selfish motives?
Sister, you will always be the one Qingguo loves the most, and Qingguo will choose to bury this secret deep in her heart forever.
…
Along the way, Hua Qingguo silently sorted out his love for Hua Qingcheng in his heart, and then locked it up.
The two were silent for a moment, and the carriage soon arrived at Hua Mansion.
After getting off the carriage, Hua Qingcheng and Hua Qingguo walked into the mansion together to pay their respects to Hua Rongsheng and Ye Maochun, their wife and husband.
"Mom, Dad!"
As she stepped into the front yard of the Hua Mansion, Hua Qingcheng called out for her mother and father just like she did when she was in Huaqiao Village.
"Qingcheng is back!"
Ye Maochun, who was waiting for Hua Qingguo in the hall in the front yard, hurried out after hearing the sound. At this time, he was holding a pile of red silk in his hands and had a happy smile on his face.
"Dad, what are you busy with?" Hua Qingcheng smiled slightly, walked forward and hugged Ye Maochun's arm affectionately.
Ye Maochun glanced at Hua Qingguo and said with a smile, "Isn't your brother getting married soon? Since he's willing to marry into our Hua family, we naturally can't treat him unfairly. Am I not tying a big red bouquet? When the time comes, we must decorate the entire mansion, especially the wedding hall and the bridal chamber, beautifully."
