Chapter 286 Starry Sky
However, Lan Qingwu did not ask any more questions, and only said: "The princess can stay for two more years. Brother Heng has selected princes-in-law for the eldest and second princesses. The three letters and six ceremonies will take exactly one and a half years to prepare. This will highlight the dignity of the royal princess."
The Emperor Shenwu nodded, then stood up and helped Lan Qingwu up. "It's been a tiring half day. Go and rest for a while. I'll go take care of some things."
Emperor Shenwu sent Lan Qingwu to the bedroom. He turned to leave, but Lan Qingwu grabbed his sleeve. Puzzled, Emperor Shenwu turned back to see Lan Qingwu's sparkling eyes staring at him: "Brother Heng, please come back early tonight to accompany Ruo Ruo."
Emperor Shenwu smiled and said, "I haven't left yet! All right, wait for me!"
So after Emperor Shenwu went to Qianzheng Hall to handle government affairs, he became a little absent-minded. He wondered if Lan Qingwu would be anxiously waiting for him in Fengqi Palace?
As soon as it was getting dark, Emperor Shenwu put down his red brush and ordered, "Return to Fengqi Palace!"
After arriving at Fengqi Palace, Emperor Shenwu walked along, but found that the palace was empty, with only the palace lanterns in the courtyard dimly illuminating the road. Emperor Shenwu had an idea and waved his hand, telling Li Xiang not to follow him. Li Xiang paused, then bowed and retreated.
Emperor Shenwu followed the palace lanterns all the way to the backyard. When he reached the end of the road, he saw Lan Qingwu waiting for him with a smile on his face. His bright starry eyes only held him!
Lan Qingwu was wearing a scarlet palace dress and a silver-red cloak. As she moved, the starlight on the hem of her skirt was faintly visible.
Lan Qingwu stepped forward and pulled Emperor Shenwu over. Emperor Shenwu was attracted by the light in her eyes and involuntarily followed Lan Qingwu's footsteps up to a small attic.
The two of them meandered upwards, their clothes entwined, unable to distinguish one from the other.
After Emperor Shenwu went up to the attic, he saw that the roof had been cleaned up to be extremely bright. Apart from a few luminous pearls inlaid on the palace wall, there was nothing else.
The night pearl illuminated the roof as bright as day, and there was a thick carpet underfoot.
Emperor Shenwu couldn't help but feel puzzled: "I vaguely remember that this attic has no ceiling!"
Emperor Shenwu looked up and could indeed see the night sky directly.
"But why can't I feel a bit of cold?"
Lan Qingwu did not answer. She simply pulled Emperor Shenwu to lie on his back on the thick felt. The two of them were facing the roof directly, as if facing the stars in the night sky.
The stars are picturesque, dotted in the depths of the night sky, shining brightly, just like the immortal poems written by the ancients, containing the mystery and vastness of the universe in silence.
Emperor Shenwu saw the clue after looking at it for a moment. The entire roof was made of transparent glass, so not a trace of cold wind could get in. The two of them could look up at the starry sky in the house without being affected in the slightest.
The two of them quietly looked at the deep night sky and the glittering stars. After a moment, Lan Qingwu turned his head and said, "Brother Heng, do you like the stars that Ruo Ruo gave you?"
Emperor Shenwu stretched out his long arm and pulled Lan Qingwu into his arms. "I'm sorry to have troubled you. I'm really surprised!"
How could I not like it? Just ask who else in the world would take such great care of themselves?
Lan Qingwu smiled softly: "That's good, Brother Heng, don't be unhappy recently!"
Emperor Shenwu also smiled: "Great! My humble servant is truly ingenious. This gift is absolutely wonderful!"
The stars twinkled, dazzling and mysterious. In such a quiet night, Emperor Shenwu couldn't help but relax.
"Ruoruo, do you know? I actually questioned my father. When he appointed me Crown Prince, he also left a way out for Zhou Qizheng and Zhou Qihuai. They clearly wouldn't give up and would bring disaster to Dasheng in the future. In the end, it was proven to be true. I didn't understand it at the time, but since my father had issued the order, I had no choice but to obey."
"As expected, because of these two, countless innocent people died, and countless noble families fell! But only now did I finally truly understand my father's decision. Parents who love their children plan for them in the long run, and my father still gave his other son one last chance!"
Lan Qingwu leaned into the arms of the Shenwu Emperor: "Brother Heng?"
Emperor Shenwu hugged Lan Qingwu tightly and said, "Don't be afraid, I will solve them one by one!"
He wanted to try to make his successor accept a world that was smooth and without troubles.
