This happened when the second prince of the empire was five years old.
At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month of that year, in order to please the Queen, His Majesty the Emperor secretly had many gifts prepared in advance, ready to accompany her back to China to celebrate the New Year in the twelfth lunar month.
When Qin Changqing found out about this, he was checking his two sons' recent learning progress. He was surprised and moved when he heard the topic he suddenly raised.
"Do you have time recently?" Qin Changqing asked curiously.
In recent years, Lan Sinian has been committed to combating many malpractices and illegal organizations among the four clans of the Blood Gang. Not to mention his powerful clone, even he himself is busy every day. Even Qin Changqing needs to help him receive many personnel, and has become his internal helper.
When Lan Sinian heard him ask this, he suddenly realized how unsatisfactory he was as a husband! How long had it been since he had found time to spend with his dear? Guiltily, he half-knelt in front of him, took his hand, and kissed it gently. He raised his head and looked at him devoutly, "I'm sorry, dear."
Qin Changqing tilted his head slightly in confusion: "?"
"I've been too busy these past few years and haven't had time to spend with you properly. I, I'm really not a good husband." Lan Sinian said this very seriously. He suddenly realized that the two of them had never gone out on a date in the past few years, and Chang Qing had just been silently supporting him behind the scenes, never complaining about his busyness. However, this only highlighted his dereliction of duty as a husband.
Qin Changqing lowered his eyes and looked at him for a moment, then touched his face and said with a smile, "We are still young. We will always have the opportunity to accompany each other in the future. Isn't now the time for us young people to work hard? We are partners. Shouldn't we support each other and move forward in this life?"
Lan Sinian's lips moved slightly. He wanted to say, "Kiss you, it's so nice of you." He wanted to say, "Kiss you, you don't always have to be so gentle and sensible, you can be a little more willful." But in the end, he said nothing. He just kept the full of emotion and pain in his heart.
"You're right, dear!" Lan Sinian held his hand, smiled and pulled him into his arms and kissed him gently.
They are partners. Now that they are young, of course they should work together for a better future. When the children grow up and when they are old, they will have plenty of time to accompany each other.
Of course, you can't just put everything off; you have to make time for the necessary things, like a sweet date for two. So His Majesty decided that this time, he wouldn't return until after the Lunar New Year, so the whole family could have a good rest.
A few days later, His Majesty's starship, loaded with many gifts, set off for the Queen's hometown.
Shortly after the start of the twelfth lunar month, the Chinese New Year atmosphere gradually intensified. The streets and alleys were decorated with festive red lanterns, and the small shops along the street began to play the song of congratulations and prosperity on a loop. The world was bustling and prosperous.
General Luo and his wife Shen Yushuang had known for a long time that they would come back for the New Year, so they had thoroughly cleaned the house a few days ago and also brought Mr. Shen, who lived in the countryside, over, waiting for New Year's Eve for the family to reunite at home.
Lan Sinian and the others continued to live in the garden, a place specially arranged by the higher-ups, never allowing anyone else to live there. However, there were dedicated personnel who took care of everything in the garden year-round, so even with their sudden arrival, the rocks and scenery in the garden remained pristine, and the plum blossoms in bloom in the courtyard quietly exuded a cool fragrance.
"My dear, this plum tree is so beautiful. It can bloom so gorgeously in such cold weather. It is as beautiful as the feeling you give me, beautiful and proud." Lan Sinian took Qin Changqing's hand and walked under the plum tree, hugged him and said sweet words to him.
Qin Changqing was amused by him and raised his hand to pinch his face. "You, don't use random metaphors in the future. I'm a man, so I can't use flowers as metaphors. Delicate flowers are more suitable to describe beautiful girls."
"Then how do you describe a good-looking boy?" His Majesty the Emperor asked without hesitation.
Qin Changqing rolled his eyes at him. "Didn't you remember it a long time ago? Nine years of compulsory education plus two years of high school education, have you learned everything?"
Forgetting those beautiful ten years has always been Lan Sinian's biggest regret and the most shameful black history. Just think about how tender and cute Changqing was at the age of sixteen or seventeen! Then think about their first time, which was full of excitement despite being impatient. Every time I think about it, I can feel ten years younger!
As for the dark history, it’s better not to mention that I was bullied when I was young and ignorant.
The couple was being affectionate in the picturesque garden, leaving Qin Xu, now fifteen years old, to take care of his five-year-old brother.
The eldest prince, Qin Xu, who was already 1.78 meters tall, held his younger brother Lan Yueqing in his arms and was patiently braiding his hair. His younger brother had long golden hair that looked like flowing gold in the winter sun, making it hard to let go.
Lan Yueqing lay by the railing, stretching his neck to look out. After a while, he smirked and turned around to ask his brother, "Brother, what are Dad and the others doing?"
Qin Xu looked over and saw the two fathers hugging each other in the plum blossom forest, kissing. The eldest prince, only fifteen years old and still quite innocent, blushed and took his younger brother back, saying to him, "You can't watch this."
The younger brother turned around and lay obediently in his brother's arms. After a while, he asked again: "Dad, are they kissing?"
Qin Xu: "..." The little bastard knew what they were doing, but he still asked even though he knew the answer! I want to slap him!
However, Qin Xu had doted on this little brother to the core. When he held him, he was afraid that his hands would be too strong and hurt him, so how could he bear to spank him? He had no choice but to carry Wenwen Duoduo's little brother out of the danger zone to prevent the mischievous little guy from learning bad things.
The younger brother lay on his shoulder with an innocent look on his face and asked, "Can my brother and I kiss too?" After thinking for a while, he added, "Kiss like dad and the others, with your lips held." As he said this, he looked at his brother's lips with his cute big eyes.
Qin Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he couldn't help but slapped his butt twice, and said with a stern face, "Ask me again and I'll beat you up!"
弟弟“哦”了一声，倒是没有再问了，不过他才不是怕哥哥揍他呢，哥哥肯定舍不得！哥哥最爱他了！
…
On the other side, Qin Changqing saw his eldest son carrying his youngest son away from the corner of his eye, and then he remembered that his sons were not far away, so he quickly pushed away Lan Sinian who was kissing him passionately.
Lan Sinian, who was pushed away unexpectedly, opened his eyes. His sapphire eyes were filled with confusion from being deeply immersed in the kiss. He asked, "What's wrong, kiss?"
Qin Changqing didn't know what to say and gave him a vicious look.
His Majesty the Emperor is particularly innocent, and sighs that the heart of a loved one is as unfathomable as a needle in the sea!
After two days in the Chinese capital, the Emperor accompanied Qin Changqing on a trip to prepare things for the New Year. Qin Xu followed the two fathers, still holding and caring for his five-year-old brother while the two fathers went shopping. By the time they left, carrying their bags, it was already dark, so the family decided to have dinner outside.
They chose a newly opened restaurant. As they were choosing their seats, Lan Sinian suddenly felt someone watching them. He followed the gaze unnoticed and saw a man in his early thirties staring at Chang Qing without blinking. The emperor's heart immediately went on the alert: someone was trying to steal his girl!
Qin Changqing tilted his head and said a few words, but found that no one responded to him. He turned his head in confusion and found that Lan Sinian was looking elsewhere, so he followed his gaze.
He glanced over and met the gaze of a man. They stared at each other for a moment, and suddenly something clicked in their minds. The man stood up and, looking at each other, excitedly said, "It's you?!"
"You are, you are..." The man started excitedly, but suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly swallowed his words. He looked around and quickly walked in front of the family of four, his chest heaving with excitement.
"Changqing, it's really you!" The man walked closer and spoke excitedly in a low voice.
"Han Bo! I didn't expect to see you again!" Qin Changqing was also a little excited. He took a step forward, held his hands with him, and shook them vigorously.
Seeing his beloved so excited about a man, Lan Sinian was filled with jealousy. Then, he heard his second son, who was hugged by his brother, say, "Is that man Dad's first love? Dad, I heard someone say that a man's first love is always the most precious thing in his heart. No matter how many lovers he has in the future, they will never forget him."
The Emperor was so infuriated by his youngest son's words that his heart ached. He then watched as the two men held hands and talked endlessly, their handsome faces drawn out. The Second Prince was about to say something when his brother's hand suddenly covered his mouth. He tilted his head back to see his brother glaring at him, telling him to stop irritating his father. Only then did Lan Yueqing swallow back the words that were about to inflame his temper. He was a good brother, so of course he had to listen to his brother!
"By the way, I also heard about your story in the news, Changqing, you are really, really an amazing hero. I am proud to have an old classmate like you!" Li Hanbai's eyes reddened as he spoke. He held his hand and shook it vigorously, then raised his hand and patted him hard on the shoulder.
"Thank you for your understanding." Qin Changqing was also very happy to see this old high school classmate. They were both good friends and academic competitors in high school. Compared with other classmates, they had a stronger sense of mutual appreciation for each other. After meeting again after many years, they still had a lot to talk about.
As they were talking, they suddenly heard a light cough from behind. Qin Changqing then remembered that he had forgotten Lan Sinian. He quickly pulled Lan Sinian to his side and opened his mouth to say that he was Ah Hua. After all, Qin Hua was also an old classmate of Li Hanbai. But after thinking about it, he felt that it was not right, so he introduced him as "Sinian. He came back with me to visit relatives for the New Year."
Li Hanbai had long noticed this man, whose appearance was clearly different from that of a Chinese person. However, he recognized Lan Sinian and naturally guessed his noble status. Without Qin Changqing's introduction, he felt it was difficult to strike up a conversation. Changqing introduced them to each other and then shook his hand somewhat awkwardly. "Hello, I've heard a lot about you. I'll be grateful for your care." Beyond these two words, Li Hanbai didn't know what else to say.
Lan Sinian shook hands with him, but now he remembered this person.
Damn it! It was him!
His Majesty the Emperor suddenly recalled his high school days more than ten years ago, when there was a guy who had been openly and secretly in love with his cousin Chang Qing for a long time. If he hadn't received a tip-off from his brother and made trouble behind his back (cough), and hadn't secretly torn up the love letter that Chang Qing had secretly stuffed into his own pocket (cough cough), who knows how long that bastard would have remembered his young and immature Chang Qing!
Li Hanbai soon discovered with horror that there was something wrong with the look in the eyes of this powerful man when he looked at him. He felt insignificant, as if being looked down upon by a powerful monster as big as a mountain, and the hairs on his body stood up.
Li Hanbai didn't know if he had said something wrong to anger the emperor, so he looked at Qin Changqing for help.
Qin Changqing secretly tugged at Lan Sinian's hand and gave him a warning glare. Then, a little embarrassedly, he turned back to Li Hanbai and said, "He has a bad personality, but he doesn't mean any harm. Don't take it personally."
Li Hanbai was sweating profusely, but he nodded repeatedly in agreement.
The two talked for a while, and then Li Hanbai left first on the pretext of having something to do. Otherwise, he would always feel afraid of being spied on by wild beasts on his fat body.
After Qin Changqing and the others left, he looked at Lan Sinian helplessly and said, "What are you crazy about?"
The Emperor felt aggrieved when he thought of what happened back then, complaining like a wife who had waited ten years for her husband to come to her. "I never thought that after more than ten years, you'd still be on his side and not mine. I clearly didn't do anything just now. How could you do this, dear?"
Qin Changqing was filled with questions after being accused by him. Who did he help? Who did he help more than ten years ago?
