Chapter 587 Getting Married Again
Inside the stone gate, Lan Qingwu joyfully awaits her wedding, while outside, the Shenwu Emperor collapses in grief. Nearly twenty years have separated them, yet together they must face a "worry-free dream" destined to remain unsolved in this lifetime!
The Shenwu Emperor had been emperor for far too long. He had spent half his life as a prince, a crown prince, and finally an emperor. His youth as Yun Heng was already so far away from him! The two most important things in his life were his outstanding military exploits at the border, which laid a solid foundation for his canonization as crown prince, and his encounter with Lan Qingwu under the giant peach tree at the border, which made her his only weakness in this life.
But Lan Qingwu had long been firmly in his grasp, and Emperor Shenwu had long been emperor. His responsibilities as Yun Heng seemed to have been fulfilled long ago, so Emperor Shenwu rarely missed that time.
But he didn't expect that Lan Qingwu's "worry-free dream" only had Yun Heng, only Yun Heng!
The prince went to a villa in the suburbs, and the first thing he did after returning was to go to Qianzheng Hall.
In the Qianzheng Hall, the Shenwu Emperor was writing something with the finest wolf-hair brush, but his sword-like brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was not satisfied with his writing. He reached out and tossed the red paper envelope aside. The prince only glanced at it and bowed first: "Greetings, Father!"
Emperor Shenwu didn't even raise his head, "Stand up!"
Li Xiang hurriedly presented the red envelope in his hand again, and Emperor Shenwu picked up the pen to write again. The prince took two steps forward and looked at the red marriage proposal in surprise. The names of the bride and groom were written on it - Yun Heng and Lan Qingwu!
After Emperor Shenwu finished writing this marriage proposal, he put it aside.
Emperor Shenwu then looked at the Crown Prince and asked, "You left the Imperial City again?"
The prince nodded and said, "Didn't my son rescue a kitten the last time he went out? Go check it out!"
Emperor Shenwu disagreed: "If you like her, bring her into the palace."
The prince thought of something and frowned slightly. "I'm afraid that won't work! That cat doesn't suit the imperial city's feng shui. It won't live long in the palace. Father, this..."
Emperor Shenwu raised his hand to interrupt the Crown Prince: "I have other things to do in the next few days. Please take some memorials back to your East Palace to deal with them!"
When the Crown Prince left Qianzheng Hall, he was followed by two young eunuchs from the Qianzheng Hall. Each of them held a memorial nearly half a man's height. The Crown Prince said expressionlessly, "Some memorials?!"
The prince was working very hard, while Lan Qingwu in the "Worry-Free Dream" finally waited for the day of her wedding with Yun Heng.
Emperor Shenwu followed folk customs, wearing a phoenix crown and a red wedding dress, and personally welcomed the bride.
The secret room was decorated as a wedding room, with red candles and red "囍" characters everywhere. The two got married again in this secret room without any guests.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
"Two thanks to the high hall!"
"Couple greetings!"
Lan Qingwu, trapped in a carefree dream, was led into the bridal chamber by the Divine Martial Emperor. She would rationalize everything she saw. The Divine Martial Emperor helped Lan Qingwu sit on the marital bed. He imagined that if he were just Yun Heng, he would be extremely excited to marry the woman he had long admired.
Unfortunately, he did not have such feelings when he married Princess Li as the Crown Prince. And when he became the emperor and made Lan Qingwu the Queen, the ceremony had many rules and regulations, and it still lost some of the simple joy and anticipation that ordinary people had when marrying a wife.
He looked at Lan Qingwu under the red veil, and finally reached out to pick up the golden weighing rod and lifted the bride's red veil. Lan Qingwu's face, which was more beautiful than usual, appeared in the eyes of Emperor Shenwu, and the room was suddenly filled with light. Her cheeks flushed, and she looked at Emperor Shenwu with bright eyes, so Emperor Shenwu's eyes were also filled with joy.
A palace maid presented wine. Emperor Shenwu and Lan Qingwu looked into each other's eyes, crossed their arms, and drank the wedding wine in one gulp.
After everyone left the secret room, Emperor Shenwu gently hugged Lan Qingwu.
"Weiwei, are you happy?"
Lan Qingwu nodded and said softly, "I've always been a little scared. What should I do if I can't wait for Brother Heng to come and propose?"
The Shenwu Emperor paused while caressing Lan Qingwu, "Don't be afraid!"
Emperor Shenwu stared at the charming Lan Qingwu with burning eyes. Lan Qingwu finally realized something, her face flushed with shame, and she lowered her head slightly.
Emperor Shenwu said softly, "Your face is like a peach blossom, and your eyes are like spring water! Weeping, now is our wedding night!"
Lan Qingwu nodded slightly, looking at the Emperor with a bewildered look. He gently kissed her delicate lips, and with his bony fingers, he stripped off their clothes piece by piece. The red wedding dress was thrown to the floor. When Lan Qingwu was completely naked, she huddled in the Emperor's arms, her feather-like eyelashes trembling slightly as she cried, "Brother Heng!"
Emperor Shenwu gently kissed Lan Qingwu's forehead, cheeks, and nose tip... His movements were gentle, and finally he gently kissed Lan Qingwu's lips.
Lan Qingwu gradually relaxed, and unknowingly, she had been controlled by the Divine Martial Emperor. She looked at the Divine Martial Emperor with tears in her eyes. The Divine Martial Emperor took a deep breath and guided Lan Qingwu...
After a night of kneeling down to enjoy the pleasure, Lan Qingwu felt drowsy the next day.
Emperor Shenwu held Lan Qingwu in his arms, recalling the first time he summoned Lan Qingwu to his bed when she first entered the palace.
At that time, the Emperor Shenwu was still young and full of vigor. Because of his youthful arrogance and pride, after Lan Qingwu and he decisively parted ways, he felt a little resentful and unwilling! He blamed her for being so decisive and was unwilling to accept her stubbornness and unwillingness to turn back.
So when Lan Qingwu first slept with me, I couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say you would never be my concubine? Then why didn't you dare to disobey my decree and still come to my side?"
Lan Qingwu's face was pale, and she didn't dare to answer. Naturally, the Shenwu Emperor lost control that night. He finally had the woman he'd longed for, and the fulfillment of his wish had made him lose his composure. That night, Lan Qingwu was certainly having a rough time. She received only strong possession and insane lust, but no tenderness at all. Naturally, the Shenwu Emperor didn't see her shyness. That was their first night together, and on this wedding night, the Shenwu Emperor naturally wouldn't let Lan Qingwu feel so bad.
Lan Qingwu stirred slightly in the arms of the Divine Martial Emperor and woke up. The Divine Martial Emperor placed a kiss on her forehead and said, "Awake? I'll take you to have some food. I have my wedding leave these days, so I can stay with you."
Lan Qingwu nodded, leaned close to the Shenwu Emperor's ear and whispered, "Brother Heng, can you stay with Ruo Ruo for a few more days?"
Emperor Shenwu chuckled and said, "Is this the marriage month that Ruo Ruo mentioned before, where we have to stay together for a whole month?"
Lan Qingwu hugged the Shenwu Emperor's neck, "Yes! Brother Heng..."
Emperor Shenwu said: "Don't even mention a month, a year, ten years... I will be with you every day!"
Lan Qingwu was a little stunned. There were almost no officials in this dynasty who did not take concubines. Although they were childhood sweethearts and had a good relationship, Lan Qingwu was not so naive at that time. When she married Yun Heng, she thought about what she should do to make her life better if such a day came. As Yun Heng's legal wife, her life should not be very difficult. She also thought that if Yun Heng did not change his mind, she would really be able to live a carefree life in this dynasty.
In any case, Lan Qingwu had never thought of becoming anyone's concubine. Wouldn't that mean she would have to live a life of servility all day long? Now all she had to do was to deepen the relationship between her and Yun Heng, so that no third person could ever come between them!
Lan Qingwu was slightly stunned when she heard Yun Heng's love-like promise: "Really? Brother Heng, will your family have any objections? Will you be disappointed if I can't have more children?"
"how come?"
Emperor Shenwu promised, "We will stay together forever! We've just gotten married, and you're already thinking about having children?"
"no!"
Lan Qingwu blushed and said, "I was just thinking of telling you, I want to...wait until I'm eighteen before having another child, okay?"
Emperor Shenwu raised his eyebrows: "Why?"
"I think we should be together for two or three years first. By then, our relationship will be better, and then Ruo Ruo can give birth to a child for Brother Heng."
Emperor Shenwu held Lan Qingwu's slender waist and asked, "How many children do you want to bear for me?"
Lan Qingwu hesitated and said, "Two! One boy and one girl...is that okay? Brother Heng, giving birth is very painful!"
Emperor Shenwu said without a doubt: "Three! No less!" They already have three children and none of them can be missing.
Lan Qingwu nodded reluctantly. "Okay!" Three isn't a lot, but I'm really afraid of pain. Besides, the medical conditions in this dynasty are still a bit poor.
The Shenwu Emperor's phoenix eyes were dark and deep. The two of them whispered to each other for a long while. Unconsciously, the Shenwu Emperor pressed Lan Qingwu under him again: "Ruoruo, are you willing to bear a child for me?"
Lan Qingwu moaned softly, "I am willing, I am willing!"
Lan Qingwu's fantasy of a married life with Yun Heng was exactly the same as what she had expected, even sweeter and happier.
Emperor Shenwu accompanied Lan Qingwu all day long. When Lan Qingwu had nothing to do, she deftly wove two colorful flower crowns with her fingers. She put one on Emperor Shenwu's head and then put it on herself... She also danced gracefully in the secret room, her beautiful skirt swaying like waves, so beautiful that it was beyond words.
Emperor Shenwu once couldn't help but ask Lan Qingwu, "If... when I was still young and coming of age, and something unexpected happened and I didn't propose marriage in time, what would you do?"
Lan Qingwu looked at the Shenwu Emperor in confusion, then lowered his head and said dejectedly: "Then... then I have lost my only chance to be favored!"
To be more precise, it is the only preference that was hard-earned after two lifetimes that was lost!
In another world, she has never received any family love or love. She only has one good friend, and her emotional world is very poor. Lan Qingwu understands her own paranoia and lack of love. Her soul fell into this Dasheng Dynasty, but she already has the memory and soul of another world.
She instinctively maintained a distance, reserved, and defensive about everything here. Her parents valued her brother more, because men were the ones who supported the family. The love she received from her parents was limited, which was perfectly normal in this dynasty. She received proper parental love, and she also properly reciprocated their love.
But Yun Heng was different. He broke into her own little paradise and brought her a feeling she had never experienced before. He shone into her world as strongly as a ray of sunshine. His companionship, his protection, his teachings, his preference, his burning eyes looking at her... Lan Qingwu could feel all of these. She had finally met him, so how could she give up so easily?
Lan Qingwu felt uneasy: "Brother Heng, if you don't come to my house to propose marriage, my mother will definitely find me someone else. What should I do? If you don't marry me, I think I will probably follow my parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, marry properly, and become a proper lady in the harem!"
"But then, my husband will definitely not favor me, and I will definitely be very scared! If he doesn't like me, I will definitely not live a good life or live long!"
In this dynasty, wives were like their husbands' private property. If their husbands disliked them, it was difficult for them to live a good life. Many women suffered from lack of dignity and even died young. Furthermore, there were horrific official prisons for women.
So when Yun Heng was no longer Yun Heng, Lan Qingwu lost all her support for her retreat and the person who loved her. She fell back into panic and confusion, not knowing what to do next.
The Divine Martial Emperor hugged her tightly, stroking Lan Qingwu's back to comfort her, "Okay, don't think about that! We are destined to be together!"
Emperor Shenwu leaned his cheek over, and their foreheads touched!
"Wei Ruo, you don't know that I also get favoritism from you! I just said those words carelessly. Let's not think about it and go read a book, okay?"
Lan Qingwu's eyes lit up: "Okay! Ruo Ruo wants to draw some more pictures!"
Emperor Shenwu unknowingly indulged himself in Lan Qingwu's carefree dream. The more he indulged himself, the more he made up his mind!
