There were two people in the imperial court.
More and more people came to visit, all wanting to win Lu Yanqing over.
When Lu Yanqing returned home at night, the candles in the room were still lit. After washing up, he carefully lay down on the bed.
Wen Nan turned her head and gently nestled into Lu Yanqing's arms.
Lu Yanqing lowered his eyes. Even after so long, he still couldn't get used to Wen Nan's various ways of getting close to him.
Every time is just like the first time... my heart races and my earlobes throb.
After passing the imperial examination, Lu Yanqing entered the court as an official, and it was only then that he discovered the rampant corruption within the court.
The young man, whose lofty ambitions remained unfulfilled and who was devoted to serving his country and its people, ultimately found himself deeply entangled in the situation. He was torn between worrying about the people and struggling to make a decision.
His faith made it impossible for him to betray his country.
But how can a nation that cannot protect its people build a family?
Wen Nan didn't say anything; she just lay down next to Lu Yanqing.
The boy had shed his former naiveté, and a touch of maturity had appeared in his eyes. He was no longer the naive young man he once was; he could now stand on his own.
Throughout the year, people from the household came to visit on many occasions.
The young master of the General's Mansion came several times, and each time he chatted with Lu Yanqing until late at night.
The following winter.
When Lu Yanqing returned, he warmed himself by the stove and sat on the edge of the bed in silence for a long time.
Wen Nan knew from the moment he entered that she had been awake for a while.
She seemed to sense something.
"What's wrong?" the woman asked, tilting her head.
The man looked up and said, "I'm going to rebel..."
Wen Nan suddenly smiled. She knew what kind of inner struggle he had gone through to make this choice.
Throughout the year, border wars have been frequent, but the imperial court has ignored them, and high-ranking officials have indulged in extravagance and pleasure, showing no regard for the people.
Many had already died, corpses floated for miles... rivers of blood flowed...
Lu Yanqing was unsure of Wen Nan's thoughts. When he said he was going to rebel, she felt neither anger nor panic.
Instead, he laughed.
The woman leaned down and whispered in his ear, "My husband has the world in his heart. If you have the ability to govern the country, you may go ahead and do it. I will always stand with you through thick and thin."
In the first month, Lu Yanqing resigned from his official post, and his family moved to a place where no one knew them. Princess Shen and her family also moved.
They all knew... that the days to come wouldn't be easy.
Lu Yanqing became increasingly busy and often returned home late. Wen Nan no longer waited for him in the room; instead, she would stand on the veranda, becoming a veritable statue of a woman waiting for her husband.
Zhang Ruyu also resigned from his official post along with Lu Yanqing.
Wen Jinzhong was carefree, except that he had an extra bowl of offal...peanuts with his daily boiled water.
Lu Yanqing was wearing a cloak, and his feet had almost recovered, making him look no different from an ordinary person.
As usual, Wen Nan patted the snow off Lu Yanqing's cloak, and the man put his arms around Wen Nan's shoulders.
Wen Nan raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised. She noticed Lu Yanqing's emotional fluctuation.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"I'm going to the border." The man's voice was a little hoarse.
"I don't know if they're alive or dead... If they fail... it might hold you back..." His meaning was clear.
He has other things to do; he can't achieve success on his own, in case he dies far from home.
What should Wennan do?
Who is Wen Nan? She could naturally tell... Lu Yanqing probably wanted a divorce from her.
If he fails... Wen Nan can still remarry.
"I'm willing to wait for you." Wen Nan frowned, her voice lacking its usual coquettishness and affected manner.
"My husband... I don't want anyone but you." The woman softened her voice again.
The man lowered his eyes, reached out and gently stroked Wen Nan's hair, saying softly, "Okay."
He had ulterior motives; he desperately wanted Wen Nan to have only him in her heart.
The winter wind was unusually cold, as if they had returned to the time when they first met in Lotus Village.
Wen Nan was mostly clinging to Lu Yanqing, whose cloak was wrapped tightly around him.
The cloak was large, easily accommodating two people.
When do we depart?
"tomorrow."
The woman snuggled against him.
"My husband, can you kiss me?" she asked, looking up.
The man's ear tips turned red and red again.
His cool fingertips pinched the woman's chin, while his other hand wrapped around her waist, pulling her into his arms.
His hot breath fell on my face, their breaths mingling, and the man's movements were both awkward and gentle.
In the midst of a bittersweet moment...
"Crack." It sounded like something had fallen to the floor.
Lu Yanqing raised her head.
Wen Jinzhong coughed and turned his head away.
Wen Jinzhong covered the eyes of Wenzhou City with his hands.
Zhang Ruyu kept muttering, "Not suitable for children, not suitable for children..."
Princess Shen was overjoyed, anticipating the imminent arrival of her great-grandson.
Lu Yanqing's face flushed red, but he still made sure to shield Wen Nan inside his cloak. Lu Yanqing then quickly fled the scene with Wen Nan.
When Wen Nan's head emerged from under the cloak, he saw Lu Yanqing's face, which was extremely red.
"Is my husband shy?" she blinked.
"No." Lu Yanqing said firmly, but the increasingly red color on his ears betrayed him.
"Okay, if there's no such thing, then there's no such thing..." The woman buried her face in Lu Yanqing's arms.
"I want my husband's kisses too." She looked up.
Lu Yanqing's gaze fell on the woman's lips, which were pink and slightly moist.
"Okay," the man said in a hoarse voice.
...
Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Wen Nan can occasionally learn about Lu Yanqing's recent situation from 859's descriptions.
