Chapter 285 Gong Yuanzheng 72
Xuan Yuan Chen wiped away his tears and looked up at her pitifully.
"Royal sister...now that you have a husband, do you no longer care about your brother's life or death?!"
Qingyue said calmly, "The fact that you're still alive and talking to me like this means that I still care."
Xuanyuan Chen sniffed: "Look how good your trip was this time. You even found your husband and brought me so many surprise items. It's a good thing. Can't you make up for your mistakes by doing good deeds?"
Why are you hitting me?!
"I don't care, my hand is injured, I can't approve the recent memorials."
Xuanyuan Chen sat down on the ground and started to act spoiled.
"Come on, I didn't touch your right hand. You think you can escape court for a few days? Dream on."
Qingyue wasn't fooled by his act. He'd used it countless times, and she'd never fallen for it.
Xuan Yuan Chen pouted. If he had known his elder sister would be careful, he should have bumped his right hand into her when she made her move!
"Alright, get up. You'll only have a few bruises or something. Consider it a good ending after you tricked your sister. I went easy on you."
"Oh!"
Xuanyuan Chen got up from the ground and patted off non-existent dust from his body.
"Royal sister, how did you two get together?"
Xuan Yuanchen fawned over Qing Yue and massaged her hands, saying, "You must be tired from playing, let me give you a massage."
Qingyue said, "Go ask your brother-in-law. You'll have something to talk about and let him get to know you better."
"Shall we have lunch at the palace?" Xuan Yuanchen asked.
Qingyue hummed in response.
"Otherwise what? You can't just leave the palace whenever you want. If we don't stay in the palace, where will you gossip about?"
Xuanyuan Chen chuckled: "I knew my elder sister was the best to me and understood my thoughts the most."
Qingyue rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.
She was screaming like a ghost, doesn't she know how hard she hit her?
He didn't howl like that when I whipped him a few times before. At most, he would pretend to be pitiful and ask for sympathy after I whipped him. He's really something, not afraid of losing face for the emperor.
"Is the Izumo Lotus really gone?" Xuan Yuan Chen asked, unwilling to give up.
Of course he wanted more of these treasures. Now that he was the supreme ruler of the country, he wouldn't have coveted something if he didn't have it in the first place, but once he had one, he wanted to have it all.
"There really aren't any more."
Qingyue knew that human greed was endless, and even her own brother was no exception.
Considering his current status, it's understandable.
This is why she forbade Gong Yuanzheng from revealing that there was still a Cloud Lotus left at the palace gate. If Xuan Yuanchen turned evil, the palace gate would be crushed.
"During the expedition, he only found a few seeds. He failed to cultivate them at first, but later he successfully cultivated one flower. However, it was tricked and given to a servant."
"For servants to use?" Xuan Yuanchen's face darkened. "Heh, what a waste."
Qingyue slowly recounted her experiences over the past period.
“When I entered the palace, I deliberately made my body the worst possible. The expedition chose me because they wanted my body to get better, so I took a gamble and planted all the remaining seeds, hoping to succeed in growing another flower.”
"Having learned from the successful experience of cultivating them, we didn't make any mistakes afterward. Yuanzheng and I are taking care of these three flowers together."
"After the successful cultivation, Yuanzheng made me take it. He was a hero but didn't consider himself at all, so I made him take it with me, otherwise I wouldn't have taken it."
"That's why four of them were used. Yuan Zheng initially cultivated the Cloud Lotus for his brother Gong Shangjiao's health, and the fourth one was naturally used by Gong Shangjiao."
She explained everything clearly, ignoring some other things; she wasn't lying.
"You should be content with these three flowers, don't be too greedy." Qingyue flicked Xuanyuan Chen's forehead.
Xuan Yuanchen covered his head and said, "I know, I was just asking."
Having three flowers is indeed good, and I'm looking forward to having even more. Wouldn't it be even better if there were more?
If he doesn't have them, so be it. He will cherish these three rare Izumo Lotus flowers and make sure to use them in the most critical moment.
"How is Miss Song doing now?" Qingyue asked.
Xuan Yuanchen: "She is still in the capital. She has completed her last course of treatment and will recover soon. If she pays attention to her condition, she will not relapse."
"That's good then." Qingyue stood up. "Alright, it's almost noon, let's serve the meal."
"Good Le!"
Qingyue and Xuanyuan Chen pushed open the door and went out, only to see four people standing there seriously. They were not eavesdropping.
"Have you been waiting long?" Qingyue walked to Gong Yuanzheng's side.
Gong Yuanzheng shook his head slightly: "No, are you finished talking?"
"Okay, let's go have our meal now."
Originally, it was arranged that each person would have their own table to eat, but Xuan Yuanchen wanted to watch the melon, so he waved his hand and arranged for everyone to eat at the same table.
Gong Yuanzheng was sandwiched between Qing Yue and Xuan Yuanchen.
Gong Shangjiao, Gong Zishang, and Hua Gongzi kept a distance from them, so they didn't get involved.
Being able to dine at the same table as the emperor is already a great honor.
Xuan Yuanchen kept pressing Gong Yuanzheng for answers, and Gong Yuanzheng patiently provided them.
Qingyue's forehead veins bulged, she could no longer bear it.
"Shut up, don't talk while eating or sleeping."
The two talkative people immediately shut up.
After finishing their meal and completing a few final details about the wedding, Qingyue and the others left the palace.
With one month to go, he led the palace staff on a joyful tour of the capital.
The people of the capital all knew that Princess Zhenguo was getting married, and the young man's heart was shattered.
...
The wedding day.
Everyone knew that Princess Zhenguo was deeply favored by the emperor, but no one expected her to be favored this much.
Xuanyuan Chen personally carried Qingyue toward the wedding sedan chair.
"Royal sister, now that you're married, don't forget to come to the palace and keep me company more often."
Qingyue: "Don't think I'm being long-winded."
"Xiao Chen will never find her older sister annoying."
Xuan Yuan Chen's eyes reddened. He had always been worried about his elder sister's marriage, and now that the day had come, he was reluctant to let it go.
My elder sister got married, and she no longer has just one family; she has another family now, so she doesn't visit her parents' home as often as before.
I haven't heard the term "elder sister" in a long time.
Qingyue was stunned: "Whenever I have free time, I'll bring your brother-in-law to bother you, so you won't be lonely."
"no sooner said than done."
Xuanyuan Chen put Qingyue down in front of the sedan chair and mounted the horse beside him.
Qingyue, holding a fan, sat down in the sedan chair.
Gong Yuanzheng suppressed his excitement. He wasn't riding a horse, but Xi En, which also wanted to participate in the wedding and had volunteered to come.
Seeing that it was time to go, Xi En took small steps and began heading towards the princess's residence.
Everyone knew that Gong Yuanzheng was highly regarded by the Princess Zhenguo, and even Zhanhu was allowed to ride on Gong Yuanzheng's back.
Gong Shangjiao and the others were all there. They witnessed a grand wedding and saw what a dowry of ten miles of red bridal procession looked like.
With someone guiding you through the steps, you complete the task step by step.
Xuanyuan Chen and Gong Shangjiao sat in high positions and received a bow from the newlyweds.
"The ceremony is complete!!"
Qingyue was led to a room to sit down, while Gong Yuanzheng was drinking outside.
