It seems I need to think of a way to create some opportunities for my young lord and His Highness!
The envoys exchanged glances, each understanding the other's ulterior motives.
A tacit agreement was reached.
Before leaving Dayue, I need to marry off the young lord as soon as possible to complete my mission, and I also need to find a way to deal with that damned traitor as soon as possible.
After the palace banquet ended, the couple returned home.
After making arrangements for Sangyu and greeting the young men, the two returned to their courtyard.
That night, absence made the heart grow fonder, and the candles in the master bedroom of Hemian Garden burned all night long.
Whispering and lingering~
An ambiguous atmosphere permeated every inch of the air.
The first day of the Lunar New Year brings a fresh start.
"The dishes are ready. Please, Your Highnesses and Gentlemen, begin your meal." After setting out the dishes, Langyue stepped aside.
Wen Yanche helped Leng Qingning to her seat. All the husbands were watching the two of them. Leng Qingning tried her best to straighten her posture, but she just couldn't straighten her back at all. She was so disappointing...
"Please, everyone, have a seat."
The husbands sat down one by one according to their seating order.
"Sister, are you feeling unwell?" Sang Yu walked to Leng Qingning's side and asked with concern.
Children speak without restraint!
Leng Qingning's hunched back became even stiffer.
The husbands looked somewhat embarrassed.
Gu Nanshu quickly smoothed things over, saying, "My lady just didn't sleep well. She'll be fine tomorrow. Young Master Sang, please sit down and have a meal."
Sang Yu blinked her big eyes, "But my sister seems to be feeling unwell. Shouldn't we call a doctor to take a look?"
"Uh, I'm fine, I don't need to see a doctor."
"Young Master Sang, please come and sit down." Lin Xianzhi patted the seat next to him, inviting Sang Yu to come over.
Sang Yu glanced at him, then at the seats next to Leng Qingning, with Wen Yanche and Gu Nanshu on either side.
"Sister, I want to sit next to you," Sang Yu said timidly.
Wen Yanche revealed a doting expression, pointed between himself and Leng Qingning, and instructed Lang Yue: "Bring another chair."
Seeing this, Gu Nanshu quickly stood up and moved the chair behind him aside. "My lord, please add it to my service."
The two men politely declined each other's offer, and in the end, Sang Yu sat down between Leng Qingning and Wen Yanche.
"Xiaoyu, eat more."
As Xiaoyu ate the pile of food in her bowl, she smiled sweetly at Wen Yanche and said, "Thank you, Master Brother."
Xiao Yu had a very good impression of Wen Yanche. Last night, Leng Qingning said that she had found him an older brother who would take care of him like Sang Ci. He was originally a little timid.
She was immediately struck by Wen Yanche's beauty; he was even more handsome than her brother, and he was kind, patient, and gentle towards her.
Xiao Yu was very happy and tried his best to reach out and pick out the dishes he thought were the best for Wen Yanche and Leng Qingning.
Upon seeing this, the husbands all praised him, saying:
"Young Master Sang is really lovable." Lin Xianzhi smiled.
"What a sensible child!" Gu Nanshu praised.
Meng Xu also praised, "Yes, Young Master Xiaoyu is not only well-behaved and cute, but also so handsome. I believe that when he grows up, he will be just as good-looking as my lord."
“No wonder my wife wanted to make Young Master Sang his sworn brother to the lord. Looking at them, they do look somewhat alike.” Cang Yuan’s gaze darted back and forth between Wen Yanche and Sang Yu.
"Really?" Xiaoyu asked excitedly, glancing at Wen Yanche.
Wen Yanche also glanced at Xiaoyu and couldn't help but ask Cangyuan, "Oh? How are they similar?"
“They are both equally handsome.” Lu Shiyi replied.
Oh~
Wen Yanche and Xiaoyu laughed at the same time.
Lin Xianzhi chuckled, "Hehe, Brother Shi Yi really knows how to talk."
"No, no."
Lu Shiyi couldn't see any similarities between them, but men's beauty always has something in common, whether it's a pleasant temperament or a handsome face.
Then he asked, "My lady, we only had a brief meeting with Young Master Sang yesterday and don't know anything about him yet. How did you and Young Master Sang meet?"
"That's exactly what I was going to tell you."
Leng Qingning put down her chopsticks, having already prepared her explanation: "Xiaoyu and I met on a ferry. When the ferry exploded in the sky, Xiaoyu's family was killed in the accident. We fell into the water and were lucky enough to drift to a small island. We wandered on the island for a few days before being rescued by the Jin army."
Leng Qingning pinched Sang Yu's little face. "Xiao Yu has no relatives left, so I brought him back. From now on, he will be registered under the name of Hemian Garden as A Che's sworn brother."
"I hope my husbands will take good care of Xiaoyu in the future."
"Oh, I see." Gu Nanshu nodded.
"My lady, I will take care of Brother Sang and love him like my own brother. Don't worry," Cang Yuan said, looking at Sang Yu.
“We will too,” the husbands replied one by one.
Then everyone started chatting with Xiaoyu, showing their concern for their younger brother.
Lu Shiyi had been paying attention to Sang Yu and thought he was a well-behaved child who was also very good-looking, especially his heterochromatic eyes. He also took the initiative to serve Sang Yu food and talk to him.
Leng Qingning felt very gratified. Xiaoyu's arrival made the husbands much more talkative, and even Shi Yi became unusually talkative. This was quite good.
The laughter and joy at Langya Mansion continued until after the Lunar New Year, when Sanshengluo Bookstore reopened for business.
With only a few volumes of Romance of the Three Kingdoms remaining, Fu Wen decided to release the entire series at once as a treat for his fans.
On the day the book went on sale, the streets were packed with people.
In less than a day, the city of Changle was filled with cries of sorrow and tears streamed down the streets.
After inquiring around, people from Langya Prefecture learned that the reason was that with the completion of the masterpiece, the characters in the book left the stage one after another, and the protagonists of the three countries failed to achieve unification.
Among them, the most beloved figure (Prime Minister Zhuge Liang) has passed away, causing immense grief to countless people. (Note: Zhuge Liang in the original Romance of the Three Kingdoms)
People mourned his passing and were also saddened by his "failed Northern Expedition".
There's also a deep sense of powerlessness evoked by the cruelty of war and the fragmentation of the country...
On this day, it was as if everyone had stepped into the world of the book, and they all cried their hearts out in empathy.
Leng Qingning sighed, then turned to see that her beloved husband also had tears in his eyes...
He rushed forward to comfort her, "A-Che, how about I rewrite a perfect ending for you?"
………
A somber atmosphere prevailed in Chang Le City and throughout the entire Dayue region for several days…
I've heard that even Her Majesty the Empress has been in a bad mood lately.
As for those outside of Da Yue, they haven't managed to snag a book yet...
Every cloud has a silver lining; the good news is that Xue Tong and Xie Yun are getting married.
Xue Tong's marriage was expected, and it wasn't hard to guess who her husband would be—undoubtedly Fu Wen as her principal wife and that gossipy young master as her concubine.
But Xie Yun, she actually married her own fifth brother, Leng Huaichuan?
Leng Qingning was speechless. It seemed that her other friend, Jiang Xue, had lost out in this battle for a husband and had left the scene with regret.
