On the way back from the restaurant, Lan Sinian muttered and complained all the way. The main idea was that his relatives favored outsiders while blaming him for the wrongs. Is there any man in the world as miserable as him?!
Qin Changqing was dizzy from being scolded by him, but seeing that His Majesty seemed truly aggrieved, he couldn't bear to say a word against him. When he returned home, he pulled him into his room, patted his resentful face, and asked with a smile, "Don't you really know who is most important to me?"
His smile was so beautiful that the Emperor was so dizzy that he almost nodded. However, the Emperor had amazing self-control and managed to hold his neck in place. He cleared his throat and asked sternly, "Who is it?" His face remained stern, but he looked at the Empress expectantly, as if a bud in his heart was about to bloom.
Qin Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Who else could it be? My two precious sons."
His Majesty the Emperor: "..."
The smile that had been gradually spreading on his face froze back in that instant. Lan Sinian looked at his own queen with resentment, the expression of a woman who had waited ten years for her husband to come to her again, and he just stared at the queen deeply.
Qin Changqing finished teasing him, chuckled, pinched his chin, pulled him in front of him and kissed him. His lips gently touched his face, and he chuckled softly, saying, "The most important thing in my heart, besides my sons, is of course you. Do I even need to ask that?"
The flower bud in His Majesty the Emperor's heart blossomed instantly, and at the same time, the fireworks under the starry sky outside the window also blossomed. Those brilliant fireworks were the flowers in His Majesty's heart that were blossoming at this moment!
Lan Sinian looked at his queen with an infatuated expression and said emotionally, "My dear, it's the same in my heart. You and our son are the most important people in my life."
The man over forty still has no wrinkles on his face, but the temperament and charm of a mature man are deeper and stronger, so strong that it makes people's heart beat and fall deeply in love with it.
Qin Changqing gently caressed his face, gradually becoming obsessed with this man. He raised his hands, cupped the man's head and kissed him again. Lan Sinian was not to be outdone, and with both hands he tightly embraced the man in his arms, joining in this dance of lips and tongues.
…
The next day, a designer received an invitation from Qin Changqing and came to buy new clothes for the family of four for the New Year.
The Chinese have an innate love for the auspicious color red. So, five-year-old Lan Yueqing, with her long golden hair, received two new sets of bright red clothes. Her two fathers and her older brother each received two sets of new clothes for the Lunar New Year, each in a slightly darker red and black combination. Most importantly, the four outfits were specially adorned with the Lan family's unique symbolic elements, making these a truly unique parent-child outfit.
The designers knew that they were of noble status, so they invested a lot of effort in the subsequent design, material selection, and workmanship, striving to make clothes that would satisfy both parties.
After putting on new clothes, it makes sense not to go out for a walk. Little Lan Yueqing lay in her brother's arms and said, "I heard there is a very good movie recently. Let's go and watch it."
Lan Sinian still remembered the little one's words about having another lover in his heart. He tapped him on the forehead with his slender fingers and said, "Lan Yueqing, I remember you are already five years old, not five months old. Don't stay in your brother's arms all day. What a disgrace."
Lan Yueqing turned a deaf ear to his words, turned around and blinked her big Barbie doll eyes and asked her brother, "Brother, are you going?"
Qin Xu had no resistance to his cute look and kept saying, "Go, the dads won't go, I'll go with you if you want to see it."
"Brother is the best." Lan Yueqing said nothing, held her brother's face, leaned over and kissed him right on his soft lips.
Qin Xu quickly raised his head back, feeling a little embarrassed, but then he thought about how his brother was still young and it wouldn't be a big deal to give him a kiss.
Lan Sinian, who was well aware of this - and the genes of this little bastard were passed down from him - could not see the twists and turns in his youngest son's mind at a glance. He raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
Lan Yueqing tilted her head from her brother's arms, her little face still pressed against his chest, and met his father's gaze. Their gazes collided in mid-air, a crackling sound of electricity flashing, and their similar eyes narrowed slightly.
"Then let's go and see." Qin Changqing, the head of the family, finally made the decision.
The father and son who were still glaring at each other immediately withdrew their gazes. Lan Sinian's eyes lit up. The posture and momentum of his son in making the decision just now were so handsome. He really wanted to pin him down to the sun!
After making the decision, the family of four happily packed up and headed out. However, when they arrived at the cinema, they discovered that the film Lan Yueqing had mentioned was a romance, the kind where the couple would shower each other with sweetness from beginning to end, with kisses at the slightest disagreement.
Qin Changqing, who had disguised his facial features, felt a little embarrassed when he was standing in line among a group of girls. Lan Sinian, who was queuing with him, was not embarrassed at all and even started chatting with the girl next to him.
The two girls' eyes lit up when they saw the two handsome men in front of them, seemingly wearing matching outfits, and they couldn't help but cover their mouths and whisper some mysterious code to each other. They spoke very quietly, accompanied by a particularly excited laughter. Most people would find it difficult to hear what they were saying, but His Majesty had sharp ears and could hear clearly what they were talking about: Lan Qingqing and the Lan Qing pair.
His Majesty narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hands and placed them on his beloved's waist, tilted his head and smiled at them. The two girls were stunned, and then covered their mouths and cried out softly. They could be vaguely heard saying: "Ahhhh, so cute! It really looks like it!"
One of the bolder girls noticed Lan Sinian was looking at them, hesitated for a moment, walked over and asked, "You..."
Lan Sinian didn't wait for them to finish and answered with a smile, "We are partners. Why, do you mind?"
"Oh no, of course not." The two girls quickly shook their heads and gave their blessings a little excitedly, "You two look so well-matched and so happy. I hope you can stay together happily forever."
"Thank you." Lan Sinian grinned.
The girl who had been talking earlier opened up again and asked hesitantly, "Um, do you read BL novels?"
His Majesty the Emperor smiled enigmatically, tilted his head and whispered, "Look, my favorite person is Lan Qingqing. Lan Qingqing is my destiny."
The two girls wanted to cover their chests and scream when they heard this, their voices trembling with excitement. "I, we also really like Lan Qingqing. I heard that he had the honor of meeting the two Majesties in person, and he said that they were both super nice. I also know that he wrote about their CP and he wasn't angry at all!"
"Yeah, I've heard about this too. He shouldn't be lying." Lan Sinian nodded.
The three of them immediately found common ground and shared many sweet little jokes written by Lan Qingqing and Lan Qing. Since the two girls always had to be reserved in front of boys, and His Majesty would not say anything explicit to girls, they did not talk about some of the classic H jokes written by Lan Qingqing. You have to know that Lan Qingqing started his career with Lan Qing and Xiao Huangwen!
"I heard that Master Lan Qingqing is planning to publish a book and even drew the character designs himself. The Queen is so beautiful! That cool and elegant aura is absolutely stunning. It's a pity he doesn't plan to sell it. I really want it. What a pity!"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm willing to buy it even if it costs double the price..."
Lan Sinian smiled slightly and said, "Maybe there are some things he just wants to keep privately."
Qin Changqing finally bought the tickets, and Lan Sinian said goodbye to the two girls, put his arm around his shoulders, and went to the cinema with his two sons.
"What were you talking about just now?" Qin Changqing asked curiously.
"Let's talk about an author." Lan Sinian put his arm around his shoulders and kissed him on the cheek with a smile.
"Author? What's his name? What books has he written? Is it from the Empire or from Earth?" Qin Changqing also liked to read books when he had free time, so he became interested after hearing this.
"Well, I'll tell you next time." Lan Sinian stammered to get by. Afraid that he would ask again, he took the ticket and walked in front to hand it over for inspection, then took his family to find their own seats and sat down.
The movie was indeed as sweet as advertised. The hero and heroine hugged each other and kissed non-stop when they had a disagreement. Qin Changqing found it boring, but His Majesty was watching it with great interest. Well, now there is more material.
Fifteen-year-old Qin Xu, who had never been in love, would shyly look away whenever there was a kissing scene on the giant screen, only to return to it after the kiss was over. For a teenager who didn't even have a crush on a girl, this was incredibly stimulating! In contrast, Lan, who insisted on sitting in his brother's arms, watched with incredible concentration, like a diligent and dedicated student.
Two hours later, the movie, which always had endless kisses, finally ended. Qin Changqing saw that it was still early, so he asked his eldest son Qin Xu to choose a movie. By the time they finished watching all the movies and left the theater, it was almost twelve o'clock.
Brilliant fireworks began to bloom in the sky of the imperial capital again. Even the cold of deep winter could not wipe out people's enthusiasm.
Besides being incredibly deviant in every way, the Lansnian race possessed another unique characteristic: an innate obsession with love and a naturally romantic gene. Lansnian particularly enjoyed all things romantic, and fireworks, perfect for couples to enjoy together, were a particular favorite. He even brought them back to the empire and paid for the development of even more beautiful, gigantic fireworks that could explode in the vast expanse of space.
Once, for the Queen's birthday, he took her on a starship into space and released these extremely expensive fireworks. The moment the fireworks exploded was extremely shocking, like a sea of stars splashing, and once you see it, it is bound to be unforgettable. At the time, only the two of them could watch it, but they deliberately filmed it and later broadcast it to the entire empire. The dog food was spread very evenly and without blind spots.
When His Majesty saw the fireworks, he immediately remembered the day he had set off a magnificent fireworks display for his beloved in space, followed by a bone-chilling lovemaking. He immediately became enthusiastic, his eyes slightly shining as he said, "Let's go watch the fireworks and have a midnight snack before returning."
Two years ago, the imperial capital had regained its former prosperity. The night market was full of delicious food that would not close until one or two in the morning.
Qin Changqing thought about it and nodded in agreement. Perhaps it was really a genetic thing. Qin Xu and Lan Yueqing also liked these shiny things like stars very much. So the family of four rushed to a riverside park again in a lively manner.
Many of the city's rivers are lined with parks, offering a relatively open sky perfect for setting off fireworks. Arriving at the park, they could see from afar many people setting off fireworks along the riverbank. The small shops nearby were still open, and the stalls at the entrances had a large supply of fireworks on display for people to purchase.
Lan Yueqing was a child after all. Seeing the little fat boys around him holding small fireworks in their hands, he wanted some too. He raised his head and looked at his two fathers eagerly.
Lan Sinian then took out his wallet, pulled out a red bill and waved it in front of him, "Go buy it yourself."
Lan Yueqing and Lan Sinian have a very good relationship. Of course, it is really very good when it is good. At least in front of Qin's father and brother, they love each other very much.
As for what happened behind closed doors, Lan Sinian's training of this son was far more brutal than that of his older son, whom he felt he owed so much. Furthermore, from the time Lan Yueqing was just two or three years old, Lan Sinian had instilled in him the idea that if he wanted to protect the things and people most important to him, and not let them be harmed or taken away by others, he had to rely on himself. If he couldn't protect them, he might as well not have them in the first place. Lan Yueqing, on the other hand, was incredibly determined and persevered, only because his superior genes had prematurely taught him this dark law of the jungle, a lifelong inescapable reality for people like them.
So privately, father and son were both teacher and friend. In Lan Yueqing's heart, his father, Lan Sinian, was a figure he would one day surpass. Lan Sinian saw the little guy's stubborn eyes and outwardly never let him off the hook in his training, but in his heart he was extremely satisfied. The little guy was indeed his offspring!
Qin Changqing knew a little about these matters. He felt sorry for his youngest son and was initially very dissatisfied with Lan Sinian's actions, believing he was forcing things. After a long talk between the couple, Qin Changqing gradually understood the immense pressure of being in an imperial family, but he still couldn't quite accept Lan Sinian's approach. Parents hope for a smooth and undefeated life for their children, while also always hoping for their children to become successful. These two expectations are inherently conflicting. Qin Changqing struggled with this conflicting mentality for a long time, but ultimately, once again, he relented, swayed by his youngest son's stubborn gaze.
Qin Xu, who studies hard step by step, knows nothing. He only knows that his family is happy and complete, his fathers love each other, and his younger brother is very cute. His biggest wish is that their family can be together forever and that the world can be peaceful.
Lan Yueqing took the money given by her father, slipped out of her brother's arms, and ran to buy a big bunch of fireworks so that the whole family could set them off together.
Qin Xu also became a little excited. He took the fireworks and said, "I haven't set off fireworks for a long time." The last time he set off fireworks was when he was six years old and with other kids. Time has passed, and he is already a fifteen-year-old boy. He has experienced so many things in the meantime, and he rarely has this kind of childish excitement anymore.
Qin Changqing hadn't played with it in years, so he picked one out of his son's arms. As the family's breadwinner, his majesty couldn't just focus on playing by himself. Qin Changqing took his two sons to play by the river, while he sat beside them, chastising them with a lighter.
The two children were very excited while playing, and Qin Changqing also found it very interesting. He specially put one in His Majesty's hand and pulled him to play with him.
The brilliant fireworks were reflected in the clear river water, and the river bank was filled with the sounds of fireworks burning and exploding, as well as the excited laughter of children.
