Chapter 71 (End)
The temperature on the grasslands of Horqin is pleasant in July, but it can get a bit chilly at night.
Before dawn, a blazing charcoal fire burned in Galo's yurt, and milk tea and beef were warming on the stove.
Galo rode his horse across the grasslands all day yesterday and was quite tired, so he rested early.
She woke up rather early in the morning and was now lying lazily in Fu Lin's arms, gently counting the man's long eyelashes with her fingers.
Last night, Fulin drank quite a bit of wine. Even after drinking the hangover soup, he was still fast asleep and wouldn't wake up despite being teased by Jialuo.
Galo eventually got a little bored playing by himself, so he quietly got up.
Jade and agate carried hot water and a change of clothes into the yurt.
After an incense stick had burned, Galo left the house feeling refreshed.
The scent of green grass, along with the cool breeze rolling down from the distant mountains, jolted Galo awake and made him more alert.
Abu and his brothers had gotten up early; Abu even practiced martial arts on the grass for a while. At this moment, in the dim morning light, the man looked radiant.
Seven or eight little ones surrounded him, practicing back and forth, and some of the more mischievous ones even practiced martial arts with each other using knives.
Galo took the handkerchief from his subordinate and personally wiped the sweat from Abu's forehead.
Wu Keshan looked at his most beloved youngest daughter, who should be of marriageable age, but had no children of her own.
He reached out and gently patted his daughter's back, asking in a low voice, "Have you seen the imperial physician about your health?"
As he spoke, his gaze fell on the few little ones to the side.
A sense of helplessness rose in Galo's heart. She herself did not want to have children, and now that Xuan Ye had ascended the throne, if she had a child at this time, it would be easy to cause turmoil in the court.
Even if she didn't want her son to seize the throne from Xuan Ye, what would Abu think about his brothers and the royal family members who were married into the Khorchin?
Even Fu Lin himself would probably give the best things to her and the children he had.
Galo was silent for a while, thinking of the sensible child in the Forbidden City. Just a few months ago, he was still writing letters saying that he wanted to find a woman from Khorchin to be the empress of the Qing Dynasty.
Galo saw the message and was deeply moved.
“Abu, there’s nothing wrong with our daughter’s health. Let nature take its course.”
Galo took Abu's hand and sat him down on the carpet. She then poured Abu a bowl of milk tea herself.
"There's no rush for my daughter to find a son or daughter. Besides, Huang Sha was raised by my daughter, so he's no different from my own child."
Wu Keshan clearly disagreed, but he didn't try to persuade him further. He just kept his eyes on the children in the distance and remained silent.
On the contrary, Galo felt a pang of sadness seeing Abu like this.
"Abu, don't worry, I always make sure I'm happy and I won't suffer any injustice."
Her tone was sincere, and her voice carried a hint of ingratiation.
"Look at the whole Qing Dynasty, who else can be like me as an empress? I don't have any important matters to do all day long, but instead I travel all over the country."
Wu Keshan then looked away, gazing at his daughter who was becoming increasingly radiant and beautiful. Time could not lie; it had left almost no trace on her face.
She certainly lived a comfortable life.
"Also the Emperor..."
"The Emperor Emeritus loves you more than anyone else."
When Galo heard Abu say that, he chuckled with a hint of smugness.
"Who told me to be Abu's good daughter? Whoever I marry will love me dearly."
As soon as Galo finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
Wu Keshan stood up naturally and said, "Abu is going back first."
Even the few nephews who were running around in the distance were taken away by someone.
"........"
Galo coughed, stiffly stood up, and said to Agate, who had a "You're doomed, Master" expression on her face, "Let's go, I also want to go back. Speaking of which, I wonder if the Emperor Emeritus has woken up yet. Oh dear, I'm so worried. I might as well go to the kitchen and make him a bowl of milk tea myself."
After saying that, she prepared to leave, as if she had no idea that a man was standing behind her.
"stop."
The man's voice was deep. He took two steps and walked behind Galo, reaching out to pull the woman into his arms.
Galo stiffened, trying to turn her head to look at the man, but he grabbed her waist, preventing her from moving.
Galo leaned against the man's warm, strong chest, sighed one last time, and said in a low voice, "I was just joking with Abu, don't take it seriously."
"What joke?"
The man's chest trembled slightly, and his voice seemed to rang out casually.
Galo knew that the more he acted this way, the more he cared.
I don't know what she's jealous of. Besides, everyone in the world knows that she, Borjigit Galo, is Fulin's wife. Who would dare to steal her away?
That's what I thought in my heart, but I couldn't say it out loud.
"It's nothing. Just know that Galo likes Fulin the most, and only Fulin."
Galo couldn't turn around, but her hand slowly moved to the man's arm, and she continued in a low voice, "Who is as handsome as you? Who has your demeanor and inner qualities?"
"loquacious."
Fu Lin turned her around, his eyes lowered, his gaze heavy as he looked at her face.
"Gallo,"
"Um."
Galo wrapped her arm around the man's neck and looked at him with a smile.
As the sunlight faded, the morning light enveloped the two of them.
"I love you."
Fu Lin said softly.
"I know."
"Gallo replied."
