Chapter 165 Epilogue

Since An Mingjing ascended the throne as emperor, An Mingxi was titled Prince Xian, acting as Minister to order him to go in and out of the temple, but he was not granted Luojing because of his participation in important affairs; Seeing An Mingxi will not have a good face. His Prince Kang's Mansion will still be built near the Prince Xian's Mansion; An Mingyang, who holds the other half of the soldier talisman, will return the soldier talisman to the new emperor, and he will be delegated power by the new emperor. The military power and governance power in the area were granted the title of King of Beiwu.There are governors and warlords in every state. If he doesn't want to take care of it, he can just let go, and his actions are not restricted.

Without waiting for the sound of firecrackers, An Mingyang led the Pingcheng Army northward and returned to Pingcheng, leaving Leyang to see a dumb patient in the capital, and leaving Le Liyou to welcome the Turkic delegation who will visit the new emperor in the capital after the next year——Hele It was Le Liyou's request for Yang to stay in Beijing. If they did not consider their merits and Le Liyou's other identity, An Mingyang would not only refuse to agree, but would treat him as a deserter.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and Kyushu was full of vigor and vitality. Everything seemed to be developing for the better. Only An Qingfeng contracted a serious disease and coughed up blood. Because the symptoms were consistent, and An Qingxuan was the precedent and source, the imperial doctor ruled that he was annoyed by An Qingxuan. Infected with tuberculosis, but An Qingfeng's body is strong, the evil spirit is hidden, and it only emerges after lurking for dozens of days.After being diagnosed by the imperial doctor, the palace was under martial law, only Wei Lan approached An Qingfeng unsuspectingly, so Wei Lan took care of An Qingfeng's diet and daily life.

Wei Lan said: "My second life is given by you, and it is not meaningless to die for you."

An Qingfeng raised her head, covered her eyes with her palms, and smiled desolately with the corners of her mouth curled up: "It's just me, but I haven't visited him a few times at all... Am I cursed by this day?"

Without too much comfort, Wei Lan just said: "I will accompany you."

An Qingfeng, who was more fragile than ever, completely relied on Wei Lan, and Wei Lan had full authority to handle all matters in the mansion. Wei Lan became the real "hostess" of Prince Gong's mansion.

Killing traitors for the country changed An Mingxi's outlook, but he fell seriously ill on the back. An Mingxi felt guilty for his prejudice against An Qingfeng, and paid a sincere visit regardless of the risk of infection, but only Wei Lan received him.

Wearing a veil, Wei Lan said to An Mingxi from a few steps away: "The Xian prince is still young, so he should cherish his body more. If Lan'er can't listen, the Xian prince can let Lan'er convey it."

"It's just New Year's greetings..." An Mingxi bowed and said, "I offended you a while ago, and my nephew wants to make amends in person."

"Lan'er will earnestly convey the heart of Lord Xian."

Seeing that Wei Lan still didn't intend to let him see An Qingfeng, An Mingxi put down his hands, stood up straight, and said to Wei Lan, "I hope Uncle Wang will recover soon."

Wei Lan nodded and said with a smile: "Whether the prince or the virtuous prince, you will be happy in the New Year."

An Mingxi bowed again, turned and left.Before going out, he looked back at Wei Lan, only to see that Wei Lan took off his veil after ordering others, and walked towards the inner courtyard.

"It really looks like a mistress." Ah Jiu behind An Mingxi sighed.

An Mingxi shook his head and said, "He looks much better now."

Ah Jiu nodded, thinking: Yes, the past gave people a much darker feeling.

Following An Mingxi out of Prince Gong's mansion, Ah Jiu asked, "My lord, are we going now..."

"Flower House."

"This is……"

"Go back to the mansion." An Mingxi took out the brocade scarf from his sleeve, covered his nose and mouth, and left Prince Gong's mansion.

Since An Qingfeng contracted the disease, An Qingfeng was not the only one whose situation changed. Everyone who came into contact with An Qingxuan back then—even if they didn't have close contact with her—were all treated as patients.The least affected one is the lord of the country, An Mingjing. After all, the imperial court is waiting for prosperity.In order to prevent An Mingjing and the ministers from being infected, the newly appointed minister ordered An Mingxi to take a one-month vacation for nothing. Hee handles it.

During the period of self-imprisonment in Prince Xian's mansion, Hua Qianyu visited several times, but he was worried about infecting Hua Qianyu, so he refused to meet again and again. It is also a retreat.Seeing that An Mingxi got angry with anxiety, he said straightly that his boss is not young and has a childlike heart, and Hua Qianyu is not easy to pester, leaving a New Year's greeting card, like a dog in the rain lost and left.

An Mingxi opened the New Year's card, except for New Year's greetings, he also apologized for not caring about An Mingxi who was in danger at the first time. It seemed that someone had told An Mingxi that he was taken hostage by Bo Yin Hua Qianyu.After An Mingxi finished reading, he only replied with one line: I am fine and happy new year.Then send the replies to Huafu.

That was a long time ago.An Mingxi, who was sitting in the sedan chair, counted the last time he saw Hua Qianyu with his fingers, when he suddenly heard someone shout——

"It's just your girl who still wants to climb the Xiangfu?"

Maybe it was because he hadn't heard about Hua Qianyu for a long time, but An Mingxi became interested in the gossip of ordinary people, so he asked the bearer to stop by the roadside, and he sat inside and listened quietly.

"The prime minister's wife is not a relative of the emperor, and the eldest son's wife is not from an aristocratic family. My sister is so beautiful, why can't she do it?"

Thanks to their sonorous voices, An Mingxi could hear them clearly in the sedan chair—it was so lonely to be interested in such things, An Mingxi raised the corners of his mouth mockingly.

"No matter how beautiful the lotus is, it can't compare to those ladies from aristocratic families who don't touch the spring water with their fingers. No matter how good the painter you hire, no matter how good the lotus is painted, the general will not like it!"

There is only one general in the Xiangfu, and it seems that he is indeed talking about Hua Qianyu.

"Don't worry about him! That's what the general said, as long as you are a lover, don't ask about the lintel! You don't want such a good opportunity? Hahahaha I forgot, your daughter looks like a crooked melon--"

"Your motherfucker!"

"Hey, just say it, how do you beat someone..."

Beloved?An Mingxi was taken aback, and just wanted to know more, when the two loud voices weakened, An Mingxi couldn't hear clearly, so he couldn't help leaning towards the window, with his left ear pressed against the curtain, but then he only heard the sound of the two talking together. Voice: "Thank you, sir!"

After a while, Ah Jiu's voice appeared in his ear, and he said, "My lord, I heard that the young master..."

Seemingly feeling that the wording was not very good, Ah Jiu changed the words: "I heard that the Xiangfu is making preparations..."

Ah Jiu shook her head, and changed her words again: "I heard that the prime minister intends to let General Hua marry a wife—does the prince want to ask the general about the situation?"

After a moment of silence, An Mingxi replied, "I shouldn't have shown up."

"But the imperial doctor clearly said—"

An Mingxi interrupted him: "I'm always afraid of what might happen. Isn't Uncle Huang just an example?"

Ah Jiu couldn't say anything more, so he could only order the porter to pick up the sedan chair.

An Mingxi regretted it, regretting that he didn't make it clear to Hua Qianyu at that time.

Li Xiangling accepted An Mingxi's conditions and accepted Heli, but let An Shiyu stay with An Mingxi and continue to grow up as a prince.It's not that she doesn't love children, on the contrary, because she loves her too much, she can't take her children with her willfully.She didn't want An Shiyu to be called a "wild species", and no matter whether she remarried in the future, the conditions she could offer could not be comparable to Prince Xian of Daning.She thought that An Mingxi, who couldn't even tolerate her as the mother of the child, would have only one child, An Shiyu, and everything An Mingxi had could only be inherited by her child.

After weighing for many days, she voluntarily gave up the identity of An Shiyu's mother and left her hometown.

The prince and concubine's reconciliation has not been rumored in Prince Xian's residence. An Mingxi intends to tell Hua Qianyu face to face, and hopes that Hua Qianyu will find out by himself. Unexpectedly, An Qingfeng's illness will cause him to lose face to face with Hua Qianyu. During that period, Hua Qianyu was anxious to see him, was it because of this matter?

But he was so self-righteous that Hua Qianyu didn't want him to face it alone.

In the final analysis, he was the one who betrayed first, so why would Hua Qianyu have the face to cut off his children and grandchildren for him?

An Mingxi clenched his fists tightly. After a long time, he let go and called out, "Ah Jiu."

"Yes."

"Go to Huafu."

Whether selfish or willful, he would never give up his love to others.

……

Three women dressed as matchmakers scrambled into the Flower Mansion with portraits and birth dates in their hands, fearing that they would be caught by the people inside, but after entering the mansion, they were considered orderly, just pushing and shoving. No sound.

"My lord, this..." Ah Jiu looked at An Mingxi worriedly.

Originally, he was not sure whether it was true or not, but after seeing this dramatic scene, he could only believe it. After all, not everyone can enter the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"It's only the third day of the Lunar New Year," An Mingxi said to himself in the sedan chair, "I'm really in a hurry." An Mingxi said it calmly, but Ah Jiu knew that he was not feeling well.

An Mingxi put down the curtain, covered half of his face with a brocade scarf, and tied a knot at the back of his head, then stepped out of the sedan chair and headed for the gate of Huafu.

Before leaving the mansion today, An Mingxi asked the imperial doctor to come to Prince Xian's mansion for diagnosis and treatment. The imperial doctor confirmed that there is no problem, and explained to him that it is rare in the world to have symptoms as late as 2 An Qingfeng, so he needn't worry. Lest the body is not sick, but the heart is sick.

Thinking of the imperial doctor saying that the possibility of him being infected is very low, An Mingxi straightened his back even more.Relying on the fact that he is the prince, he avoided the servant's notification with a wave of his hand.One must know that he originally would abide by the etiquette and ask the servants to tell the palace master of his arrival, and he would guard the door and wait for the servants to come back before stepping over the threshold.

Seeing this, the housekeeper Lefu always felt that something was wrong, but An Mingxi told people not to report it, and he couldn't run past An Mingxi openly, and arrived at the living room before An Mingxi to inform Hua Jueming.Without thinking for a long time, Le Fu walked into the corridor and ran to the backyard.

Following in the footsteps of the matchmakers and entering the living room, the one who met the matchmaker was Hua Jueming, and only Hua Qianshu was the bystander, An Mingxi felt a lot better.

Before the matchmaker could say a word, Hua Qianshu noticed An Mingxi, but he didn't move until Hua Jueming's gaze passed through the matchmakers and landed on An Mingxi, and Hua Qianshu followed Hua Qianshu. Cassia stood up to greet him.

"My lord's body..."

An Mingxi shook his head: "No problem."

Afraid they would be afraid, he added: "I have been examined by the imperial doctor."

After a few polite words, An Mingxi took his seat, and then turned the topic to the matchmakers: "Huaxiang, they are..."

Hua Jueming didn't hide it either, Daoming and these people were all for matchmaking, and then asked his servants to arrange them in the guest room to wait.

Since ancient times, women have paid attention to restraint, so it is rare for a woman to propose marriage to a man on her own initiative, but once Hua Qianyu's word of a blind date is released, no family intends to let go of this piece of sweet pastry. Other families followed closely behind, who cares about being reserved?What's more, it's the parents who proposed the marriage. As long as they say they don't know, those ladies of the family can still keep the name of "reserved".

"In the third grade of junior high school, isn't Hua Xiang planning to visit relatives and friends?"

Hua Jueming glanced at Hua Qianshu, and replied: "Qianyu is not young, and if he doesn't get married, he will be like his second brother."

"...Where is Qianyu's friend?" In front of Hua Jueming, he could only call Hua Qianyu his friend.

Hua Jueming didn't want to say it, so he said perfunctorily, "Going out."

But An Mingxi didn't intend to give up, and asked again: "Where did you go?"

Hua Jueming took a sip of tea and replied, "Now we should be with Nephew Ouyang Xian."

Sitting diagonally across from An Mingxi, Hua Qianshu, who was also drinking tea, was stunned by the smell. He looked up to observe An Mingxi's reaction, and saw An Mingxi lowered his eyes, with a far-fetched smile on the corner of his mouth, and replied: "How about this?" ah……"

He thought that Hua Qianyu was delayed because of something, but he didn't think that Hua Qianyu had time to find Ouyang Shuo and had no time to see him.

Hua Qianshu signaled Xifeng behind him to bow her head, Xifeng bent down, Hua Qianshu whispered a few words, Xifeng lowered her head, and quietly left the living room with light and quick steps.But no matter how low-key, it's hard not to pay attention to such a big person moving in front of him——

"Stop," Hua Jueming called to stop Xifeng, "Where are you going?"

Xifeng timidly turned her head back, lowered her head and replied hesitantly: "Boil the water...the tea is cold."

"No, it's still hot."

"Yes." Xifeng bowed her knees and saluted, and obediently walked back behind Hua Qianshu. Hua Jueming followed Xifeng's movement and moved her eyes, then met Hua Qianshu's eyes, as if questioning.

Losing to the sharp sword in Hua Jueming's eyes, Hua Qianshu avoided his gaze, and used his gaze to draw Hua Jueming's attention to An Mingxi.An Mingxi suddenly stood up and resigned without even giving a reason. Hua Jueming didn't intend to keep anyone, so he got up to see him off, and Hua Qianshu also followed.However, before the group of people left the gate, Hua Qianyu swept over like the wind and stopped in front of An Mingxi.

The moment he saw the person coming, An Mingxi couldn't help taking a deep breath.

Hua Qianmo, who didn't know when to arrive, stopped beside Hua Qianshu, quietly watching the development.Seeing Hua Qianshu's interesting expression, Hua Qianmo waved his hand, patted his arm with the back of his hand, and signaled him to restrain himself with his eyes.

Hua Qianyu glanced at Cassia Hua, and then fixed his eyes on An Mingxi again.Hua Qianyu, who was running with an unsteady heartbeat, stabilized his breathing, pulled An Mingxi past him, took off his veil with ease, wrapped his arms around his waist, and kissed his lips.

An Mingxi's eyes widened and his whole body was stiff.

Leaving An Mingxi's lips, Hua Qianyu was facing Hua Jueming, resolutely: "I want to marry him."

Hua Jueming turned pale with shock, and was speechless for a long time. It was not until An Mingxi embraced Hua Qianyu back and buried his face in Hua Qianyu's left shoulder that Hua Jueming put away his dropped chin, solemnly: " What do you make the world think?"

"Since Dad's thoughts are so in the unexpected world, wouldn't it be enough to keep outsiders from knowing?" Hua Qianyu said, looking at the people around him, and the servants lowered their heads, pretending they didn't see anything.

"You always want to marry a wife and have children."

"The two elder brothers both have heirs, and the blood of the Hua family will not be broken on me."

"Your Majesty..." - what would the late emperor think if he had a spirit in the sky?

Considering An Mingxi's mood, Hua Jueming didn't say anything, but just stared at the unfilial son in front of him.

For a moment, the four men of the Hua family looked at each other, and no one spoke.In such an atmosphere, An Mingxi did not dare to act.

Not far away, Le Yang and Le Liyou were watching them.Suddenly, Le Liyou said to Le Yang: "Let's leave Huafu."

Le Yang Wenzhi turned his head to face Le Liyou, with "why" all over his face.

"Do you want to be a servant in Huafu for the rest of your life?"

Le Yang didn't mind being called a servant, he used his words: I was born as a member of the Hua family, and died as a ghost of the Hua family.

Le Liyou's ability to read lips is so strong that Le Yang often forgets that he is dumb.

Le Liyou lowered his eyes and said quietly: "You are born as a member of the Hua family, and you are my ghost when you die."

Le Yang smiled, tilted his head, and leaned on Le Liyou's arm. He looked at the five people opposite him who became more embarrassed the more silent they became, and the more embarrassed the more silent they were, he felt calm because he knew that here , in the family that brought him up, there is no contradiction that cannot be resolved.

"Let's go? It's rare that you don't go out for a walk?" Le Liyou said.

Le Yang felt distressed when he heard this—it seems that Le Liyou didn’t know that even on the third day of the new year, most of the shops and small stalls on the street were still closed, and people would start doing business and working after the market opened on the fifth day of the new year. ; There will be no large-scale celebrations, each family celebrates each family, and the people walk through the streets to visit relatives, and the outside is not as lively as at home.That's right, Le Liyou, who was in his twenties, had never spent New Year in Luojing even though he was so old. Le Liyou, who got rid of his slave status back then, went to the frontier before he could feel the atmosphere of the Spring Festival, and soon moved to outside the Great Wall.

Ah, the Lantern Festival will be lively, and then he will take Le Liyou to watch the lion dance, enjoy the lanterns, and see the world.

Le Yang wanted to say a lot, but he was afraid that Le Liyou would not be able to read too much, so he chose to remain silent, holding Le Liyou's arm and forcing him to continue to pay attention to the conflict between father and son.

Hua Jueming was finally discouraged, he lowered his head wearily, and said: "It's up to you." Then he turned and left.

Le Fu, who rushed over from a trot, looked at Hua Qianyu, who was holding An Mingxi in his arms, and at Hua Jueming, who obviously had a bad complexion. Unknown why, the location of his eyes kept changing between the two, and he caught The servant who was walking by wanted to ask about the situation, but because of the too quiet atmosphere, he still didn't ask, and let people go.

He told Hua Qianyu that An Mingxi came because he knew that Hua Qianyu and An Mingxi had a good relationship. This opportunity ends the confinement—he doesn't know why the much-loved little son is locked in the room during this family festival, and he doesn't even have a reunion dinner.

He felt sorry for the young master, but seeing Hua Jueming's lonely figure, Le Fu felt so guilty that he couldn't do anything about it.

Hua Qianyu watched Hua Cassia go away, closed his eyes and took a slow breath.When he opened his eyes, he put on a smile, lowered his head and said to An Mingxi, "Long time no see."

An Mingxi raised his head upon hearing the sound, and his gaze involuntarily rested on Hua Qianyu's lips.

Just now……

An Mingxi's lips trembled slightly, but he said nothing.

Seeing this, Hua Qianyu quickly let go of him when he was wronged, took a step back and said, "Sorry, I..."

An Mingxi took back the veil from Hua Qianyu's hand, tied it up again, looked at Hua Qianyu with resentment in his eyes, then turned away.

Hua Qianyu followed behind him and kept explaining: "If Mingxi doesn't want to marry me, how about I pretend to be a bride and marry him to the Prince Xian's mansion? I was just in a hurry... I didn't ask your opinion before I kissed you. No, I will never be in a crowded place in the future..."

It was the first time Hua Qianshu saw such a grumpy younger brother, and thought it was really funny, so she teased the elder brother beside him: "Qianyu looks like this, I'm afraid he is not a wife slave."

Hua Qianmo nodded to the person who was carrying the congratulatory gift not far away, and then replied, "Isn't Siqing the same?"

Thinking of Zhuge Xingyun's clingy appearance, Hua Qianshu felt even more amused: "It's true... huh? Who is the wife?"

Hua Qianmo shook her head, smiled without saying a word, left a sentence "I'll go and see Dad" and left.

Hua Qianshu turned her head following the sound of footsteps, and looked at Zhuge Xingyun who was walking.After Zhuge Xingyun approached, he asked, "Where is Mr. Xianggong?"

"Don't go, lest he get more angry."

"what happened?"

"There is an unfilial son who doesn't know what to do and says he wants to marry a virtuous prince." Hua Qianshu said in an unscrupulous tone, and when he looked at Hua Qianyu again, the two of them had disappeared.

Zhuge Xingyun was silent for a moment, then said: "Then we..."

Before he could finish his words, Hua Qianshu simply said, "No way."

At the end of the good show, Le Liyou turned to Le Yang and asked, "Going out for a stroll?"

Le Yang nodded helplessly.

……

After entering the other courtyard, Hua Qianyu noticed that An Mingxi was going to take him to his bedroom.

An Mingxi didn't go in, but stopped in front of the door, turned to look at Hua Qianyu, and asked, "What if you die?"

Hua Qianyu rolled his eyes with a smile, and replied: "That's my father, it's impossible to beat me to death no matter what."

An Mingxi couldn't laugh, so he frowned and said, "What if you get tuberculosis from me?"

Hearing the sound, Hua Qianyu's smile dissipated in an instant, he was in a hurry, and couldn't speak a single fluent sentence, and his eyes turned red after a while.In a hurry, he hugged An Mingxi and was silent for a long time, only saying: "It's okay, you'll be fine." It seemed to be comforting An Mingxi, but also comforting himself.

An Mingxi's brows were relaxed because of the crying in Hua Qianyu's voice. He raised the corner of his mouth, patted Hua Qianyu's back, and said, "I'm fine."

He was also afraid of death, worried that he had tuberculosis, and would not be able to hug Hua Qianyu before and after death; worried that if he died, he would leave Hua Qianyu with haze for half his life.

Hua Qianyu was taken aback: "Really?"

"Really, at least for now."

He patted Hua Qianyu's arm, indicating to let go, but Hua Qianyu hugged him even tighter, so he said again: "A month is not over, are you not afraid that I really have evil spirits?"

Hua Qianyu shook his head and replied, "If you have something to do, I'll go with you."

An Mingxi pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and asked with a smile, "Are you so afraid of being lonely?"

"afraid."

"……Um."

"Besides, I've been to even deeper places, so what's the point of hugging?"

An Mingxi's eyelids trembled, he raised his hand and punched Hua Qianyu on the back of the head, and said, "Let go."

Hua Qianyu obediently let go, opened the door and invited An Mingxi in.As soon as An Mingxi crossed the threshold, he closed the door impatiently, obviously with malicious intentions.

An Mingxi noticed his small gestures, but he didn't say anything about it, he just asked: "Are you serious when you say marry me?"

Hua Qianyu raised his head and said complacently: "Not only do I want to marry you, but I also want to carry a big sedan chair...Of course, if Mingxi doesn't want to, then I can marry into Prince Xian's mansion in green clothes." In front of him, he is not only willing to claim to be the best, but also willing to show off in women's clothing, which can be said to have no bottom line.

An Mingxi shook his head: "I have already married a wife, and if I marry someone else, I may be gossiped about. Besides, the news of your choice of a wife has been released, so you can't..." Seeing Hua Qianyu drooping his head in frustration, An Mingxi gradually fell silent. , Shu Er said: "I have reconciled with Xiangling, and Xiangling is no longer in the mansion."

"Really?"

"real."

Hua Qianyu smiled again, her brows and eyes crooked, and she almost hugged An Mingxi again.An Mingxi reached out to stop him who was about to approach, and continued: "Besides, if you don't want people to know that the bride is a man...you are too tall. Although I don't look like a woman either."

Hua Qianyu disagreed with this statement: "Ming Xi is so beautiful that no woman in the world can match her."

An Mingxi has passed the time when he would be shy when he heard a compliment, and now he just wants to punch Hua Qianyu's smiling face.He resisted the impulse and asked, "When do you want to hold the wedding?"

"Shangyuan Festival."

"No, it's too fast."

Hua Qianyu, who has already entered the role of newlywed husband, came over, pinched his waist, pulled his body closer, looked down to meet his eyes, and said, "Why don't you hurry up? I can't wait... on the street At the busiest time, I want everyone to see the sedan chair carrying you."

"Does it make sense? No one will know that I, An Mingxi, are sitting in the sedan chair."

"No," Hua Qianyu raised his right hand to take off An Mingxi's veil again, held An Mingxi's cheeks, and said gracefully, "I know."

The author has something to say:

Originally, I wanted to finish writing the epilogue before posting it, but the process of the end was not so smooth, and I was afraid it would take too long, so I'd better post the first part first.

And then... Mrs. Geng was too slow, I was wrong, I was introspecting (kneeling on the keyboard.
