Chapter 1085 Seeing things and missing people
Shi Wu reported the situation truthfully, saying that Mu Rong and others had fallen off a cliff and died, with no remains left.
Because he had no children, Ning Yunxi bought a house and fertile land for Ning Hanwang and his wife, and put the money into the national treasury.
Ning Yunxi opened a brocade box and took out the Penglai apricot jade.
The glued jade still has cracks.
Her slender fingers gently stroked the cracks in the jade, and she recalled the cruel methods her elder brother taught her, feeling deeply moved.
"It turns out that I can learn and do it, but I'm just a little slow."
"If my brother knew what I did, how would he feel?"
He was reminiscing about the past and talking to himself. During this time, a servant came to report that Lord Xin, the Minister of Beizhao, wanted to see him.
Ning Yunxi agreed to see you immediately.
Xin Yueyuan was humble in his demeanor and bowed solemnly when he entered.
"Your Majesty, please..."
Ning Yunxi was startled and quickly helped him up.
"No, no!"
"You and I are siblings, Third Brother, there's no need to be so polite."
Xin Yueyuan was upright and well-behaved, and well-mannered.
"Between the ruler and his subjects, there are proper etiquette, regardless of age. Now that you are the empress, I must observe the proper etiquette and not be disrespectful."
Not daring to kneel down to his elders, Ning Yunxi insisted on helping him stand up.
"The ceremony of enthroning the emperor and empress has not yet taken place, so how can there be any relationship between the emperor and his subjects? Brother, just treat me as your junior sister."
Xin Yueyuan gave honest advice and criticism.
"The imperial decree has been issued, and the emperor has granted me great grace. You are the empress, and I, your humble servant, must observe the proper etiquette."
Seeing that he insisted, Ning Yunxi reluctantly agreed and took a half step back to make room for him.
"Okay, please, Senior Brother."
Xin Yueyuan performed the ceremony with great care and rigor.
"Your Majesty, I wish you peace and happiness."
Ning Yunxi held up her hands and gestured for someone to come in.
"Lord Xin, please stand up and take a seat."
Thank you, and wait for your junior sister to take a seat first, and Xin Yueyuan sat on the side.
Ning Yunxi took the initiative to speak, stating the matter calmly and slowly.
"I had originally intended to retire to the mountains, but I never imagined that my brother, the Emperor, would be so generous and magnanimous as to enthronize the Emperor and Empress. My brother and I have discussed that after the funeral rites for my uncle and the others, we will wait a day longer to complete the ceremony for the Emperor and Empress before leaving the capital."
Xin Yueyuan didn't understand.
"Why are you living in seclusion? Are you uncomfortable living in Shengjing?"
Ning Yunxi explained.
"Two monarchs, ruling together, my brother says, that's not a good idea."
"Last year, he was entrusted with the family mission and had to protect the Yan clan. Now, with Lord Yan on the throne, it is neither reasonable nor logical for him to take charge of government affairs."
"However, my brother is unwilling to deprive him of his throne. Moreover, the rules of the imperial decree remain unchanged, allowing him to make decisions on state affairs."
"We originally planned to live in seclusion in the mountains, away from worldly affairs. However, we will wait a few years before leaving. At least, we can spend more time with you and talk about our friendship before we say goodbye."
"Unexpectedly, the emperor was so enthusiastic that we had no choice but to withdraw early to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Understanding his junior sister's farewell and reluctance to leave, Xin Yueyuan was deeply moved, but remained respectful on the surface.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, are selfless and upright. I, your humble servant, cannot even begin to compare to you."
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed what she was holding, was slightly startled, and asked curiously.
"Ok?"
"Why is your Majesty holding a broken jade pendant?"
"Broken jade is difficult to repair. If Your Majesty likes it, please allow me to buy a new jade pendant and present it to you."
Ning Yunxi declined politely.
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother. I appreciate it."
She treasured it carefully, holding the jade pendant in her palm, and a hint of warmth involuntarily appeared at the corners of her lips.
"This was a gift from Emperor Yue. I cherish it very much and don't mind it having cracks."
"I wanted to wear it around my waist, so I found the jade pendant. However, the sight of it reminded me of the person I loved, so I held it in my hand for a long time and couldn't bear to let it go."
"My little sister's naivety makes me laugh."
Xin Yueyuan smiled warmly.
"How can you be so naive, Your Majesty? You are joking."
"I heard that Emperor Yue treats you very well?"
Recalling the past, Ning Yunxi felt deeply sorry and still felt heartbroken.
"Yes, with great care."
"It's a pity that Emperor Yue has passed away, and we are separated forever. I will never see him again."
Xin Yueyuan disagrees.
"uncertain."
"I guess you two will meet again one day."
Ning Yunxi was confused.
"Senior brother, why did you say this?"
She shuddered.
"Is Emperor Yue still alive?!"
Hearing that she had misunderstood, Xin Yueyuan was both amused and confused.
"No."
He described it in detail.
"Fifth Junior Sister said that Emperor Yue used meteorite fragments to be reborn."
"You too."
"Prince Di Jin dotes on you with all his heart and will not let you have any regrets. Therefore, I dare to speculate that when your majesty passes away, the prince will definitely control the time machine to send you back to reunite with Emperor Yue."
Ning Yunxi was delighted.
"If it's as you said, that would be great."
"After not seeing each other for a long time, I miss him more and more. I have something in my heart that I want to tell him."
Xin Yueyuan instructed softly.
"These are my heartfelt words. Remember them first. Live peacefully in this life. Then, in the next life, I can slowly tell him."
Ning Yunxi nodded obediently.
"okay."
She realized it later.
"By the way, Senior Brother, what brings you here?"
"Just for small talk?"
Xin Yueyuan also realized it later.
"oops."
"I am old and confused, and have forgotten my duties. Fortunately, Your Majesty has reminded me."
Ning Yunxi sat upright and listened attentively.
"Brother, what are your instructions? Please speak."
Xin Yueyuan walked slowly.
"I promised Sixth Junior Brother that when Seventeenth Junior Sister returns to the capital, I will bring them together and make their love come true."
"Seventeenth Junior Sister, you are thirty years old, and I am fifty-five. After all, there is a huge age difference. I am afraid that I am slow and clumsy, and that my intention to bring us together may end up breaking us apart."
"They have a deep bond of love for each other. If, through my own fault, they are unable to marry, I would be committing a grave disaster."
"Your Majesty and Seventeenth Junior Sister are of the same age, so it's easy for them to have in-depth conversations and open up to each other. I'm just asking for Your Majesty's help. Is that acceptable?"
Ning Yunxi humbly agreed.
"Brother has given the order, and I shall do my duty."
Xin Yueyuan lowered his eyebrows and eyes.
"Your Majesty is too modest. I am extremely terrified."
"Thank you for your grace."
Ning Yunxi asked a question.
"Seventeenth Senior Sister, when will you return to the capital?"
Xin Yueyuan replied.
"The day after tomorrow."
"Seventeenth and Eighteenth Junior Sisters, upon hearing that our uncle's family had met with misfortune, did not want to miss the day of mourning, so they braved the frost and dew and returned at full speed."
Ning Yunxi thought about it for a moment and made a decision.
"In that case, when the funeral and ceremony are over, I will help to arrange the marriage and then go to live in seclusion in the mountains."
Xin Yueyuan responded.
"Well, thank you for your concern, Madam."
Afraid of offending anyone, he paused for a moment and thought before speaking.
"Your Majesty made your own decision and didn't ask King Dijin's wishes?"
Ning Yunxi smiled.
"I'll ask later."
Xin Yueyuan requested.
"There is another matter. Please ask for me, Your Majesty."
"If there is any inconvenience, please tell me frankly, Your Majesty. I can find other ways to resolve the matter."
Ning Yunxi stared.
"Senior brother, it's okay to say it."
A brief introduction to Xin Yueyuan.
"Eighteenth Junior Sister, I have long admired Guardian Yu-sama, but I don't know what he means."
"I used to serve under Prince Li, so I'm not very familiar with Lord Yu. It's difficult for me to ask him about his feelings."
Ning Yunxi readily agreed.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother. After I ask my brother, I'll ask Yu Aiqing."
