Chapter 394 Reincarnation
If this is a cycle, Emperor Shenwu hopes it will never end.
Lan Qingwu didn't know why Emperor Shenwu was acting abnormally, but she endured her fatigue and gently and meticulously helped Emperor Shenwu rinse his mouth, clean his face, and dress himself... Finally, Lan Qingwu put a crown on Emperor Shenwu. During this time, Emperor Shenwu looked at Lan Qingwu quietly, and only cooperated by stretching out his arms or lowering his head.
Lan Qingwu looked at the pair of sharp phoenix eyes of Emperor Shenwu, which were blocked by the nine tassels on the crown. He had a unique kind of imperial dignity and handsomeness. Her eyes sparkled and she couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and gently kiss the thin lips of Emperor Shenwu.
All the palace servants in the room lowered their heads, as if they didn't exist.
Just as the Emperor Shenwu raised the corner of his lips, he heard Lan Qingwu say, "Beauty is a feast for the eyes! Your Majesty, don't forget to have breakfast later."
She paused and continued, "It's no big deal to make the ministers wait once in a while!"
Emperor Shenwu's smile grew deeper and deeper. He ignored his complicated and noble imperial robes, and simply opened his arms to embrace Lan Qingwu in his arms.
The wide sleeves of his court robes completely covered Lan Qingwu's slender figure. Emperor Shenwu closed his eyes and thought of Lan Qingwu lying silently in the ice jade coffin in his dream, and he didn't want to let go.
Lan Qingwu keenly sensed the uneasy mood of Emperor Shenwu. She did not ask many questions, but just lay quietly in the arms of Emperor Shenwu.
Finally, Emperor Shenwu withdrew his arms, regained his usual dignified and calm demeanor, and turned to walk out of the hall.
As expected, Emperor Shenwu wanted to take Lan Qingwu out of the palace today, but Lan Qingwu wanted to go back to the Lan Mansion to check on the situation at home. Emperor Shenwu personally sent Lan Qingwu back to the Lan Mansion to visit his relatives.
Unfortunately, Emperor Shenwu was preoccupied with political affairs again. He gave a few instructions and then hurried back to the palace.
After Lan Qingwu met a few relatives, he asked them to leave. He rested in the house for a while and then went to the back garden to relax.
Because he had to welcome the emperor from time to time, Lan Qingwu also went back to his mother's home from time to time to visit her relatives, so Lan Youchen took charge of the recent decoration of the backyard.
Lan Qingwu walked slowly along the back garden, admiring the beautiful scenery of early autumn from time to time.
Lan Shuren walked into the backyard and saw Lan Qingwu's figure across a rockery.
He paused, then stepped forward to greet Lan Qingwu: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Empress."
Lan Qingwu was also very happy to see Lan Shuren and hurriedly said, "Stand up! Why are you here at this hour? I heard that your wife is pregnant. This is a great joyous event. I'm sure your mother is also very happy!"
The corners of Lan Shuren's lips curled up into a faint smile: "Yes, my mother is very happy. I may return to the Wang family in a few days."
Lan Qingwu nodded in understanding. "As you should, it's not easy for you to shoulder the responsibility of supporting two families. Your wife is also very understanding. However, even if you return to the Wang family name, your blood ties with the Lan family cannot be severed. As long as everything remains the same, my uncle will be very pleased."
Lan Shuren said solemnly, "Of course! I've long been a member of the Lan family! The Lan family and I are inseparable. I want my first child to have the surname Lan!"
The two exchanged a knowing glance. Indeed, with Lan Shuren's current status, no matter his surname, the imperial court and the imperial harem would no longer treat him as separate from the Lan family. This was because Lan Shuren and the Lan family had long been closely connected and deeply intertwined.
Lan Qingwu became interested and stretched out her hand to invite Lan Shuren to play a game of chess.
Lan Qingwu's chess skills are above average, but knowing that Lan Shuren is an excellent chess player, she started playing chess with Lan Shuren with great interest.
Lan Shuren naturally risked his life to accompany the gentleman, and he thought carefully before making every move.
The two sat facing each other under the flower tree. From time to time, flower petals floated down and landed slowly on them. The woman was graceful and elegant, and the man was as clear and bright as the moon. When Mrs. Lan approached, she saw such a pleasing scene. She paused and suddenly didn't want to go forward anymore.
The game between the two was at a critical moment, so they were very focused and did not notice others approaching.
Ru Ping and Ru Han had already discovered Madam Lan. Ru Han stepped forward and invited Madam Lan to come forward.
When the winner was decided, Lan Qingwu casually put down the black piece in his hand and said, "My cousin is still a step ahead in chess."
Lan Shuren said, "Your Majesty is too modest. You have won over me."
Lan Qingwu just smiled lightly. She could still feel that Lan Shuren was giving in to her.
Lan Qingwu had already seen Madam Lan after being reminded by Ruping. Madam Lan took advantage of this opportunity to step forward and greet Lan Qingwu: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Empress! May the Empress be blessed with good health!"
Lan Qingwu hurriedly asked the palace maid to support Madam Lan: "You are still pregnant, no need to be so polite!"
Madam Lan lowered her eyes slightly: "Thank you for your grace, Queen!"
Lan Qingwu glanced at the two of them and realized the cold atmosphere between the couple. She lost interest and asked Ruping, "Has His Majesty said when he will be back? I still want to go out for a walk!"
Ru Ping was busy dealing with Lan Qingwu with a smile. Mrs. Lan was moved. It was rumored that the Queen was deeply favored by the Emperor, so it turned out that the rumors were true.
Mrs. Lan looked up quietly and saw the woman in front of her with fair skin and beautiful features, hair like a waterfall, a feather skirt as white as snow, a faint smile, and an unparalleled beauty. Her charm firmly attracted the attention of those around her.
The Empress doesn't look like she's given birth to three children! I'm afraid some people would believe her if she said she was in her twenties.
When Emperor Shenwu arrived, he immediately noticed the two extra people beside Lan Qingwu. His sword-like brows unconsciously furrowed. He strode towards Lan Qingwu.
Lan Qingwu's eyes lit up when she saw the Emperor Shenwu. As soon as she stood up, the Emperor Shenwu supported her and said, "Queen, there's no need to be so polite! Lan Qing is here too, everyone please stand up!"
The Shenwu Emperor didn't stay long. He took Lan Qingwu and left, leaving the Lan Shuren couple kneeling to see him off.
Lan Shuren stood up when he could no longer see the Emperor and Empress. He helped Madam Lan with his hand. Madam Lan couldn't help but say, "My dear husband, the Empress is extremely beautiful and charming, the most beautiful of all. I heard that since the Empress entered the palace, His Majesty has rarely favored anyone else, and now he favors the Empress alone. The Empress is truly a blessed person."
The Blue Tree Man looked at her deeply and said, "Of course!"
"I'm simply curious. The Empress is so favored, has she never worried about losing her beauty and love? The Queen already has two legitimate sons, so the Empress should advise His Majesty to treat all the concubines equally."
Lan Shuren's brows furrowed. "Just focus on your pregnancy. From now on, you are not allowed to discuss matters concerning His Majesty and the Empress!"
Madam Lan did not stop. "If the Queen was not from the Lan family, I would naturally not say anything more, but now we are all in the same boat. I am just..."
"What do you mean?"
Lan Shuren said impatiently, "That's enough! What on earth do you want to say? Forget it, come with me out of the Lan Mansion! Don't come out again before the birth!"
