Chapter 796 Finale (Part 2)
Although Wei Shiyan had been named Prince Cong, he still lived in the palace because the Prince Cong's Palace had not been completed yet.
However, because Wei Shiyan had already been crowned king, he did not live with the other princes in the prince's residence, but lived in an unoccupied palace near Zhaoyang Palace.
After Xingxing came out from Queen Nie's place, she went to Wei Shiyan.
Wei Shiyu stretched out his long legs and wanted to follow Xingxing to go to his second brother's place. Queen Nie smiled and grabbed her younger son's collar by the back.
Wei Shiyu: “?”
"You have no good eyesight." Queen Nie sighed, "I'm afraid you won't be able to find a wife in the future."
Wei Shiyu: “?”
Queen Nie thought for a moment and said, "You really don't like Princess Youluo, right?"
Wei Shiyu almost jumped up on the spot: "How is it possible?! Mother, please don't mess with me!"
Queen Nie looked at her angry little son and nodded: "Okay, I understand."
…
Wei Shiyan's injuries were not too serious originally, but after he was injured, he did not take his injuries seriously, treated them hastily, and ran for a long distance while holding Xingxing. The wound burst violently, causing his injuries to become much more serious.
When Xing Xing went to visit, the imperial physician in the palace was changing the medicine for Wei Shiyan.
Xingxing stepped forward and took over the imperial physician's work. With her eyelashes trembling slightly, she helped Wei Shiyan change the bandage.
Wei Shiyan turned his head to look at her.
Neither of them spoke.
The imperial physician was standing beside with his medicine box, feeling inexplicably redundant.
After the imperial physician left, Xing Xing sat down next to Wei Shiyan.
But for a moment, neither of them seemed to know what to say.
Xing Xing thought for a moment, and then she talked about the Xin Guo Mansion: "...Yu Chongjie took the Crown Prince's wife to be exiled. Yu Chongen went to the mountains to practice. Yu Chongting took Miss Sun to travel around..."
After saying that, Xingxing fell silent again.
Wei Shiyan raised his hand, as if wanting to touch Xingxing's temples.
But he had injured his shoulder, and it was a little inconvenient for him to raise his arm.
Xing Xing gently pressed Wei Shiyan's arm, but leaned towards Wei Shiyan's shoulder.
Yan Hun's whole body froze in danger.
Xing Xing said softly, "Brother Yan, I already have the best family in the world. So, it is only natural that I am almost related to my blood relatives."
Wei Shiyan nodded stiffly, then remembered that Xingxing couldn't see him nodding, so he whispered, "You still have me."
Xingxing's face turned a little red, but a sweet feeling emerged from the bottom of her heart.
She was not stupid. She knew all the good things Wei Shiyan had done to her and she kept them in her heart.
She has no choice about her blood relatives.
But in the long journey of life, she can still choose the family she is willing to accompany her.
The bond of life and death is broad, and I will make it with you.
Hold your hand and grow old with you.
As soon as Xingxing returned to Yu's house from the palace, the imperial decree came down to arrange her marriage with Prince Cong.
Xingxing accepted the order with a smile.
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict was all smiles, and he congratulated her with a cupped hand: "Congratulations, Princess. Congratulations, Princess. This is a great joyous event. You and His Royal Highness Prince Cong are a perfect match made in heaven."
When the Yu family saw that Xingxing's eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, they knew that she was willing, and she was happy but also a little sad.
The reason they were happy was that Xingxing had found a good home. They had seen how King Cong treated Xingxing. Xingxing also liked him, so it was natural that they would be in perfect harmony after marrying him. There was nothing wrong with that.
As for the sadness, it was because of reluctance. Xingxing was grown up, and in two years at most she would marry into another family.
After the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict left, the Yu family surrounded Xing Xing and took turns congratulating her.
Li Chunhua smiled and said, "Oh, your brothers have all been married off. They are all wives for our family to bring in children. This is the first time we are marrying off a daughter..."
As she spoke, Li Chunhua began to wipe away tears again, obviously very reluctant to let her go. "Xingxing was so young when she came to our house, and now she's getting married? Getting married?"
Bai Xiaofeng said angrily: "Sister-in-law, please stop crying. This is a great event..."
As a result, as she was talking, she couldn't help but turned her head away and wiped away her tears.
It was Grandma Wei who made the final decision: "Alright, stop crying. Our Xingxing hasn't even gotten married yet! It would be too outrageous if we were still crying about such a good marriage! We should all be happy that Xingxing has a good home!"
"Yes, yes, mother is right."
Several daughters-in-law agreed.
Several sisters-in-law had already gathered around and were holding Xingxing's hands to congratulate her.
"When Xingxing first disappeared, I felt terrified when I saw the look on Prince Cong's face. It looked like he was ready to draw his sword and kill someone at any time."
"Yes, I heard from my husband that Xingxing was able to return safely this time because His Royal Highness Prince Cong protected Xingxing all the way out of the cave regardless of his own injuries. At that time, I thought that His Royal Highness Prince Cong's feelings for our Xingxing were beyond words!"
"Yes, Xingxing and cousin Wang Cong standing together are a perfect match. But I was wondering, when Xingxing marries cousin Wang Cong, will she call me sister-in-law, or will I call her sister-in-law?"
Everyone laughed.
Xingxing was a little shy, but she smiled openly and accepted the blessings from her family.
When the news of the marriage decree spread throughout the capital, some were envious, some blessed the bride, and of course some made sour remarks.
But this has no effect on Xingxing.
Later, word came from the prison that Yu Mingzhu in prison wanted to see Xingxing.
Xingxing thought about it and decided to go meet Yu Mingzhu.
Yu Mingzhu was responsible for several deaths, and was also guilty of treason and stealing secrets, so she was sentenced to death.
There are only a few days left before the execution.
When Xingxing saw Yu Mingzhu, although her face looked pale and bloodless, her eyes were burning with a quiet fire.
She threw herself over to the railing, held on to it tightly, and stared at Xingxing with her eyes fixed.
Xing Xing stood on the stairs some distance from the railing, looking down at her: "Are you looking for me?"
Yu Mingzhu held onto the railing tightly, her voice hoarse: "You are very proud, right? Are you very proud?! You have everything of mine without any effort! Yu Xingxing - you - I hate you!"
Xingxing looked at the hysterical Yu Mingzhu calmly.
"Why should I be proud?" Xing Xing said softly, "I have never taken you seriously."
Yu Mingzhu was struck by lightning. She shook the railing in despair, "Yu Xingxing—you, you—"
Her voice was hoarse, but she couldn't say anything else.
Xingxing took one last look at Yu Mingzhu, then turned and left.
She didn't come to show off to Yu Mingzhu, she just came to take a last look at Yu Mingzhu.
Now that you have seen it, you will leave.
Xingxing walked out of the prison and Wei Shiyan was waiting for her.
Xing Xing walked quickly towards Wei Shiyan and said with a smile, "Let's go."
In the afternoon, the shadows of the trees swayed. The young man smiled at her and stretched out his hand: "Let's go."
…
Ten years later.
"Are you sure that thing is really here?"
"I saw it last time. It is right here."
Two young guys in brocade clothes were lying on an open chest with their buttocks sticking up, rummaging around in it for something.
They were so focused on searching that they didn't notice a figure appearing behind them.
Until the two finally found it, they shouted happily: "Found it!"
"What did you find?"
A faint sound came from behind, startling the two kids so much that they couldn't lie down for a moment, and fell headfirst into the box.
When the two men climbed out of the box in a panic, they saw their father standing behind the box with his arms folded, looking at them calmly.
The two little guys turned pale and shouted "Dad" in a trembling voice.
They were completely disheartened.
Wei Shiyan looked at the things in the two boys' hands, frowned, and stretched out his hand to them.
The two little guys were standing in the box. When they saw their father reaching out his hand, they thought he was going to pull them out. They happily reached out their hands as well, but they saw their father ignored their chubby hands and took away what was in their hands - an exquisite crane-shaped kite.
Two little guys: “?”
No, Dad?
"Fortunately it wasn't crushed." Wei Shiyan checked the crane-shaped kite in his hand, placed the kite on the top of the sandalwood bookshelf, then turned around and looked at the two little devils in front of him.
Under their father's calm yet intimidating gaze, the two little guys stood in the box and shrank into quails: "...Woo woo."
Wei Shiyan took the son and daughter out of the box, one in each hand, and carried them to the wall.
"Stand still."
The two young fellows standing against the wall at this moment were almost as good as the soldiers led by their uncle, Yu Yonghuai, the Great Xia God of War.
That's called a standard standing posture.
"Why are you looking through my study?"
In times of crisis, one must hold a banquet to inquire.
The two little guys looked at each other.
As the younger brother, Wei Qihong secretly gave a wink to his older sister Wei Qiya.
Little Wei Qiya understood what he meant and lowered her head. When she raised her head again, she was already in tears: "Daddy, Mom is very tired carrying my sister. Mom hasn't played with me and my brother for a long time. My brother and I just heard that this kite was made by Mom, so we wanted to take it out and play with it, as if Mom was playing with us..."
When the little girl said this, her small body twitched and she looked at Keke pitifully. However, Wei Shiyan did not even raise his eyelids: "Oh? Then the butterfly kites and shrike kites in your room, weren't they made by your mother?"
Wei Qihong and Wei Qiya's faces tensed and they were speechless.
When Wei Shiyan was about to say something else, Queen Nie's voice came over: "Brother Hong, Sister Ya..."
Wei Qihong and Wei Qiya's eyes sparkled with the light of a savior, but due to their father's majesty, they dared not move and could only cry out pitifully: "Grandma, Grandma, we are here!"
Queen Nie came in from outside and when she saw the looks of Wei Qihong and Wei Qiya, she knew that her grandchildren were being forced by their father to stand as punishment again.
Queen Nie laughed: "What trouble have you guys gotten yourself into again?"
"Mother." Wei Shiyan had a headache. "They came to my study and rummaged through the wooden boxes where I kept my things. They almost broke the kite that Xingxing made for me."
When Queen Nie heard that this was about Xingxing, she coughed and said, "...Well, these two little ones were also born to you by Xingxing. There's no point in you getting angry with them."
Wei Qihong and Wei Qiya nodded frantically behind their grandmother, Queen Nie, and looked at their father pitifully and cutely: "Daddy..."
The banquet paused for a moment.
After all, I couldn't bear it.
"Don't mess around like this in the future." Wei Shiyan said, "Otherwise, you will stand at the foot of the wall for a full hour."
Wei Qihong and Wei Qiya nodded repeatedly.
They just saw their parents flying a kite together once, and the kite flew so high!
It flies higher than their butterfly kites and shrike kites!
It’s strange. It was clearly mom who made it, so why did dad’s kite fly so high?
They are just curious!
Who let their father treasure his kite so much?
Wei Qihong and Wei Qiya looked at each other slyly, and it was obvious that they were not willing to give up and were ready to try again next time.
As a father, Wei Shiyan could see the little thoughts of his son and daughter. He was just about to give them a warning when he saw Wei Qihong and Wei Qiya clinging to their grandmother's thighs.
"Grandma, Grandma, you haven't finished the story you told us last time."
"Yes, yes, grandma, please tell us more."
"Okay, okay, let's go to the pavilion and talk." This coaxed Queen Nie into a happy smile, and she walked away, holding her grandson in each hand.
Wei Shiyan silently watched the backs of the three grandparents disappear around the corner of the corridor, then turned and went into the inner room.
Xingxing is already older and is very sleepy on weekdays.
When Wei Shiyan walked in, Xingxing had just sat up with sleepy eyes: "Brother Yan."
Even after being married for many years, Xingxing is still used to calling her by her childhood name.
Wei Shiyan took a large pillow and placed it behind Xingxing: "...Are you feeling better today?"
Xing Xing smiled at Wei Shiyan in a daze: "You massage my back every day, and it's getting much better now. My waist isn't so sore anymore. Where are Aya and the others?"
"My mother is here. Aya and the others made a mistake and are afraid of being punished by me, so they pestered my mother to go to the pavilion to tell stories."
Xing Xing couldn't help laughing: "...these two little guys are both thieves."
Wei Shiyan couldn't help but think about the question he had thought about many times in the past few years.
They are both a perfect match. His elder brother and sister-in-law's children, Xiao Shitou and Jiaojiao, are not so naughty as to climb up the roof and tear off the tiles all day long.
Among the dozen or so children of the Yu family's uncles, none of them could be as naughty as Hongger and Yajieer.
He and Xingxing are both calm and composed, so giving birth to these two little devils seemed to be their nemesis.
The Prince Cong's mansion was in chaos all day long.
Could it be because, since the day these two little guys were born, they were not only loved by Emperor Jiazheng and Empress Nie, but also doted on by the two old people in the Duke of Xin's Mansion. The elders of the Yu family were even more desperate for the two little guys, and were afraid that they would melt if they were held in their mouths.
Growing up in such a loving environment, it is okay for me to just do something stupid, right?
Fortunately, the only thing he was thankful for was that the two children's final sensibleness was used on Xingxing.
Wei Shiyan looked at Xing Xing. It seemed that time had left no trace on Xing Xing over the years. Although she had given birth to a son and a daughter and was currently pregnant, she still looked like a young girl.
Xing Xing noticed that Wei Shiyan was looking at her, and smiled: "What's the matter? Are you thinking that the baby in my belly should not be as naughty as their brothers and sisters?"
Wei Shiyan thought about it, and although he was troubled by the child's mischief, he still shook his head: "No, as long as our child is healthy, it's fine. It doesn't matter what kind of temper he has. I just want you and the child to be safe."
Xing Xing pursed her lips and smiled, holding Wei Shiyan's hand, and said softly: "I think so too."
The afternoon sun shines on their shoulders.
The couple smiled at each other.
It’s great to have you by my side in this long life.
