Chapter 521 Ending 2
In the same year, Mo Jingchun became pregnant. Lu Xingci was so happy that he cried. He officially promoted her to his wife and asked Emperor Qi Tian to give Mo Jingchun a first-rank lady.
The Princess's Mansion was also completed, and the eighteen-story Star-Picking Tower was the tallest building in the capital.
It also turned Gu Mingrui's hair white. In just a few years, he looked ten years older.
The Princess's Mansion also became the largest mansion in the capital city except for the Imperial Palace. Its splendor and complexity were no less than that of the Imperial Palace. There were many flowers and plants in it that were not even available in the palace.
The sea of blue roses in Evian Courtyard became a legend in the capital, attracting the attention of many noble ladies. Even Meng Zirou asked Qingyun for flower seeds.
Emperor Qi Tian even personally wrote a plaque for the Princess's Mansion.
Qingyun once asked Emperor Qi Tian bluntly what she would do if he became suspicious of her one day?
Emperor Qi Tian replied without even a second thought: "That day will never come."
Qingyun asked again: "What will you do if I regret it one day?"
Emperor Qi Tian laughed and said, "Come on then. You have the golden medal of immunity from death. I will spare your life."
Qingyun smiled, her almond eyes curved into crescents, "That day will never come."
The two smiled at each other, and could understand the meaning in each other's eyes.
Qingyun did not move into the Princess's Mansion, but still lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion. She couldn't bear to leave her parents, and Qingrongxu and Mo Linghuai also couldn't bear to leave her.
It's September again, and it's Qingyun's birthday.
She didn't like hosting banquets, so she just said it was a family dinner and didn't invite anyone. But when she looked at the uninvited people, there was a helpless smile on her face.
Lu Xingci held Mo Jingchun with both hands, staring at the road under his feet carefully, and even reminded him when crossing the threshold.
He turned to Qingyun and said: "The threshold is a bit too high, it can be made lower."
Qingyun rolled her eyes at him and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Mo Jingchun smiled apologetically at Qingyun and said, "Cousin, don't listen to his nonsense. He just cares too much about you."
Qingyun nodded to show her understanding. Mo Jingchun was pregnant, and it was he who had pregnancy reactions.
Following closely behind were Emperor Qi Tian and Murong Yao. Qingyun raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Emperor Qi Tian came today in casual clothes and no one noticed.
Seeing Qingyun looking at him in surprise, Emperor Qi Tian nodded and smiled, "What? Are you not welcoming me?"
He was talking about me, not "I", so he came as a friend.
Qingyun raised the corners of her lips and smiled sincerely, "Of course you are welcome."
After the others went in, Qingyun stood at the door for a while, looked outside, and didn't see the person she was thinking of. She walked into the yard with some disappointment.
Lu Xingci and others saw Qingyun's performance and all had a teasing expression on their faces.
Qingyun was met with their expressions as soon as she entered the room. Her cheeks instantly turned red, like the finest white porcelain dyed peach pink, gorgeous and eye-catching.
Qingyun gave them a reproachful look and asked, "Why are you all looking at me?"
Lu Xingci smiled slyly, "It's okay, it's okay. It's your birthday today, and you've dressed up very beautifully."
Lu Xingci was right, but Qingyun didn't dress up deliberately, but she still looked good.
The peach-colored moon-shadow gauze skirt reaches the ground, with moon-white wide sleeves and embroidered front, and a light blue tasseled pearl shawl, which is truly gentle and charming.
The red agate bead hairpin on her head swayed slightly with her every move, looking lovely and lively. The silver bell on her waist rang with every step, making her waist look slender and her steps graceful.
Qingyun glanced at him unhappily. Just as she was about to take a seat, another servant came to report, "Your Highness, there is someone outside the door wanting to see you."
Qingyun was puzzled and asked, "Do you know who he is?"
"I don't know, but there are two young masters, one of whom is wearing a silver mask, and the other one looks about the same age as Your Highness."
Qingyun narrowed her eyes. She knew who it was as soon as she heard the description. She just didn't understand why he showed up again in Tianyuan. He couldn't really have come to congratulate her on her birthday.
She only sent gifts to her coming-of-age ceremony but was not present in person.
Although her mind was filled with thousands of thoughts, Qingyun did not delay too much and stood up to answer it.
But before anyone reached the gate, they had already come in.
Chu Huaizhou was dressed in a fluttering white robe, with his hair casually tied behind his head with a white headband. The long headband fluttered behind his hair. His footsteps were very light, as if he was floating without stepping on the ground.
Qingyun glanced at Wen Zeyi who was walking side by side with him.
She was dressed in a green robe and a green belt, and walked slowly and softly. Her hair was held up high with a jade crown. On her forehead was a headband of the same color with a green lotus embroidered in the center. Her whole body exuded an elegant temperament.
Unlike Chu Huaizhou, the hems of his clothes swayed as he walked, instead of fluttering like Chu Huaizhou's.
He had grown a lot taller, and when he stood in front of Qingyun, Qingyun had to look up at him.
The two men walked straight to Qingyun, and Chu Huaizhou joked as they walked: "I didn't dare ask the princess to come and pick me up in person, so I just came in directly. I hope the princess won't blame me."
Qingyun rolled her eyes at him and said, "Now that I'm here, how else do you want me to blame you?"
Chu Huaizhou nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, not bad, I was right about you."
Qingyun didn't understand what he said and was too lazy to pay attention to him. She asked directly: "What are you doing here again?"
It seems that every time Chu Huaizhou appears, nothing good happens.
Chu Huaizhou frowned in dissatisfaction, "Tsk tsk tsk, good intentions don't go unrewarded, I came here to give you a surprise."
"What surprise?" Qingyun asked curiously.
Chu Huaizhou waved his hand, and two people came in carrying a large box.
Just as Qingyun was about to get closer, Chu Huaizhou stopped her and said, "You'll know soon. You can't look now."
Qingyun looked at him with a puzzled look on her face as he walked straight into the front hall. She could only look at Wen Zeyi helplessly, "How is Mr. Wen doing?"
Wen Zeyi smiled gently and said, "Very good. Thank you Princess for your concern."
"That's good."
"I wish the eldest princess a happy birthday and lasting blessings," he then took out a jade flute and handed it to Qingyun, "It's called the Crescent Moon. The eldest princess should have heard of it."
Qingyun was a little surprised. Xianyue was quite famous in the martial arts world. It came from a hidden weapon-making family. Without using any internal force, he could turn the sound of the flute into a sharp blade and take people's lives in minutes.
Qingyun did not act pretentiously and accepted it, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Wen. I like this gift very much."
"In that case, Princess, please don't call me Master Wen. Just call me by my name. After all, we are friends."
Qingyun was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay, Wen Zeyi."
Wen Zeyi’s smile deepened, “Happy birthday, Qingyun.”
Qingyun wanted to say something when she heard the big box that Chu Huaizhou carried in suddenly make a sound. She looked over in confusion.
Wen Zeyi chuckled and walked in past Qingyun.
Qingyun was still curious about what was in the box, when Xiao Si came again, "Princess, outside..."
