"Your servant thanks Your Majesty." Jing Xunchè was also a bit helpless. This Yuán Yǔhán had already started urging his marriage to Qié'er.
"My wife, Ārú, is kind, gentle, and virtuous. Now that she is pregnant, her contributions are invaluable. I hereby confer upon her the title of Empress. The coronation ceremony will be held three days later!"
"Long live Your Majesty! Long live the Empress!"
"Qié'er, Qié'er?" Mù Fēngqié opened her eyes and saw Jing Xunchè sitting beside her bed.
"Achè? Why are you here?" Shouldn't he be in court at this time?
"Where else could I be?"
"Weren't you just...?" Wait... Was she just having a dream?
"Just what?"
"Nothing... It was just a dream." Mù Fēngqié twitched the corner of her eye. She had thought that Yuán Yǔhán had ascended the throne, Ārú had become the empress, and then she and Jing Xunchè had left the capital together and gone to the Pharmacist Valley to live.
In the end, it was just her wishful thinking. She actually had such a dream. Alas, it seems that it's really true that you dream about what you think about during the day.
"What did you dream about, Qié'er? Why do you look like this after waking up?" Jing Xunchè was a bit curious.
"It's... nothing." Actually, she felt it was better not to say. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for herself in the end.
"Really? Could it be that you dreamed of dumping me, Qié'er?"
"Absolutely not. I clearly dreamed that we were together. How could I ever leave you? Don't wrong me." Mù Fēngqié said angrily.
"Really? I'm relieved then." Jing Xunchè looked at Mù Fēngqié with a big smile. As long as it wasn't something about leaving him, it was all good.
"Actually, just now I dreamed that I found a way to completely remove the poison from your body. Then I took you to get the medicine, and we went to the Pharmacist Valley to get rid of the poison." It's a pity it was just a dream. However, Jing Xunchè's poison was really a bit tricky now.
"Then we lived happily together?" He thought this dream was quite nice. It would be good to have it often in the future.
"Uh... Some other things happened later, but in the end, we were together." That's right. She had even dreamed about the ending of their lives. It was just that she hadn't waited for Ārú's child to be born.
"As long as the final result is that we are together, it's fine." All he cared about was the result.
"Don't you want to know what happened in the middle?" Mù Fēngqié looked at Jing Xunchè curiously.
"If you want to tell me, I'll listen. If you don't want to, it's okay. Anyway, I already know the ending. The process in the middle isn't that important." The ending was quite beautiful.
"But I want to tell you."
"Okay, then tell me. I'm listening." Jing Xunchè adjusted his sitting posture to make it more comfortable for Mù Fēngqié to lean on him.
"Actually, I feel like I was daydreaming. Just from a nap, I could dream about all these things. It's really hard to describe."
"I just dreamed that we went to attack the Huāmǎn Country. Then we found the antidote that could save you in the Huāmǎn Country. I took you back to the Pharmacist Valley to get rid of the poison. Then we two returned to the main army. But...
When we led the army back to the capital, Yuán Yǔchuān framed you for colluding with a foreign country. He wanted to kill you and seize your military power. But in the end, Yuán Yǔhán appeared and saved us.
Moreover, after you two caught Yuán Yǔchuān, you didn't kill him. Instead, you made him write a confession of his sins and abdicate. Then you arranged for him to spend the rest of his life in the imperial estate.
You supported Yuán Yǔhán to ascend the throne. Then he conferred the title of Regent on you and made Ārú the empress."
"And then?" Jing Xunchè became interested. He didn't expect Qié'er's dream to be so wonderful.
"Then Yuán Yǔhán bestowed a marriage on us two. Later, we several people lived happily together. But I didn't get to see Ārú's child born before you woke me up." Mù Fēngqié sounded a bit regretful.
"Hahaha... It's my fault. I apologize to you, Qié'er." However, this dream was really fascinating. If possible, I really want to take you to live in seclusion in the mountains and live a regular life.
"Yeah, I know. So we have to work harder now. When we have children in the future, we can leave them a prosperous and peaceful world."
"Qié'er has even thought about our future children. Does it mean you've already accepted me?" Jing Xunchè looked at Mù Fēngqié with burning eyes.
"I'm just making an example. Do you understand? It's just a figure of speech. Don't take it seriously." Mù Fēngqié's face suddenly turned red. She got up from Jing Xunchè and stopped leaning on him.
"Okay, okay, okay. Whatever Qié'er says is right." Jing Xunchè looked at Mù Fēngqié with all the doting in his eyes.
"By the way, what are you here for?" She had forgotten to ask him just now.
"Tomorrow is the Emperor's birthday. There's an invitation from the palace. So I came to wake you up and get you ready."
"Why is it so hasty? Why wasn't I informed earlier?" Mù Fēngqié quickly got out of bed, tidied herself up, and was about to go out.
"There were too many things in the past few days. I guess the people below didn't dare to tell the Emperor. So it was postponed until now."
"What should I wear tomorrow?" With such a short time, she could only go out and buy a ready - made dress.
"I've prepared a set of clothes for you. Take a look." Jing Xunchè picked up the clothes prepared beside him and handed them to Mù Fēngqié.
"You've already prepared them? I thought I had to go out and buy a dress. Since that's the case, I'll wear this one tomorrow."
"Then put it on and let me have a look now?" Jing Xunchè really wanted to see how Mù Fēngqié would look in this dress.
"Okay, wait for me a while." Mù Fēngqié thought for a moment and then agreed.
After Mù Fēngqié changed her clothes and came out, Jing Xunchè was completely stunned. He didn't even blink his eyes.
She was wearing a light - blue pair of waisted and bottom - supported silk dresses. A light - blue mist - like silk shawl was draped over her shoulders. Her shoulders were as if carved, and her waist was as slender as a willow. Her skin was like congealed fat, and her breath was like a faint orchid. She walked with a gentle sway of her slender waist, and her fair wrists were revealed under the light silk.
Her eyes were like spring water, flowing with charm. An intricately carved gold hairpin was obliquely inserted into her downward - slanting hair bun, decorated with purple jade beads. The tassels scattered on her black hair. Her fragrant and delicate face was more beautiful than a flower. Her fingers were as slender as scallions, and her lips were as red as cinnabar. Every frown and smile was heart - stirring.
Her face was as smooth as congealed fat, and she was wearing a soft white jasmine silk dress. A long white trailing dress with plum blossom patterns was flowing behind her. A soft silk sash was tied around her waist, exuding a charming and delicate aura.
"How about it? Do I look good?" Mù Fēngqié walked around in front of Jing Xunchè in her new clothes.
"Qié'er, what should I do? I don't want you to wear this dress anymore." Jing Xunchè hugged Mù Fēngqié and mumbled.
"What's wrong? Is it not nice? I think it's okay." Mù Fēngqié thought Jing Xunchè had good taste in picking clothes.
"No, it's too nice. I'm jealous. Just thinking that so many people will be staring at you tomorrow makes me feel uncomfortable. I'm so jealous."
"Achè, can't you smell a sour smell? It's really sour." Mù Fēngqié said and then sniffed around Jing Xunchè.
Jing Xunchè helplessly let go of her. "Yes, I'm jealous."
