Chapter 243: Blue Tree People Engagement
It was rare for Lan Qingwu to see the vulnerable side of Emperor Shenwu. He had always been wise and powerful, strong-willed, and the sky above everyone's heads. If any problems arose, Emperor Shenwu would be there to support them, and problems would be easily solved.
Lan Qingwu didn't know how to comfort Emperor Shenwu, so he could only accompany him quietly.
Fortunately, Emperor Shenwu quickly calmed down his emotions. Being in this position, he had lost his own flesh and blood more than once. This was the helplessness and sadness of being in the royal family!
Lan Qingwu said softly, "Ruoruo can accompany Brother Heng to send the child away."
Emperor Shenwu slightly closed his eyes, his large hand stroking Lan Qingwu's cloud-like black hair. "No need! You are pregnant, so let's avoid these matters first. I will order Concubine Jiang to preside over the funeral ceremony for the Fifth Princess."
Lan Qingwu felt a little helpless. This was all so sudden, but with her current health condition, she could only obey the Divine Martial Emperor's instructions to be more cautious. She nodded, "That's all we can do for now."
Afterwards, Emperor Shenwu issued an edict to posthumously confer the title of Princess Herou on the Fifth Princess and ordered Concubine Jiang to preside over all the funeral ceremonies for the Fifth Princess.
Lan Qingwu could not go to see the Fifth Princess off in person, so he copied a scroll of scriptures by hand and went to the Huangjue Temple in the imperial palace to chant scriptures and pray for the Fifth Princess. Master Buyu sat cross-legged beside him, with his hands clasped together, constantly reciting scriptures to liberate the souls of the dead.
After Lan Qingwu finished reciting the scriptures, he chatted with Master Buyu about the Classic of Tea for a while. Before Lan Qingwu left, Master Buyu spoke again: "Empress, I see that your face has changed a lot. You just need to live a peaceful life from now on!"
There is no need to worry or be concerned about anything else.
Lan Qingwu smiled sweetly: "Master Buyu, my heart has already been at peace!"
Lan Qingwu's heart has long been settled, and her soul has long taken root in the Dasheng Dynasty. For the rest of her life, Lan Qingwu will live by that person's side, hand in hand.
Lan Shuren finally got engaged. The girl came from a distinguished family. She was a noble lady from a family of scholars. Her ancestral home was in Suning City in the Jiangnan area. Her name was Dai Linfang.
Lan Qingwu was sorting some books in Fengwu Palace. After hearing Ruhan's report, she felt relieved. Her cousin had finally taken this step, and she could finally relax.
Then Lan Qingwu looked at Ruhan again and said, "Ruhan, I asked Ruping to prepare some cloth. Take it with you when you leave the palace later."
Ruhan quickly thanked her and said, "Your Majesty, the things you have given me are enough. I can't use them all in several years!"
Lan Qingwu smiled and said, "It's not for you, it's for Lan Xiaolin. Just keep it, it will be useful one day."
Ru Ping also smiled at Ru Han. Ru Han's son was already over two years old. He was at the age of being naughty and cute. His personality was totally unlike that of his father and mother.
The master and his two servants talked for a long time, and in the evening, Emperor Shenwu came to Fengqi Palace.
At night, Emperor Shenwu held Lan Qingwu in his arms, wishing he could rub Lan Qingwu into his body and merge into one. Lan Qingwu couldn't help but sob softly, "Brother Heng..."
Emperor Shenwu came back to his senses and slightly eased the strength in his hands. He gently sucked Lan Qingwu's earlobe: "Weak, weak, I wish I could swallow you into my stomach!"
Lan Qingwu was in a daze and didn't hear the words of Emperor Shenwu clearly. He just endured the attack of Emperor Shenwu in a daze.
When the clouds stopped and the rain ceased, Lan Qingwu just closed his eyes slightly and nestled motionlessly in the arms of Emperor Shenwu.
Emperor Shenwu propped up one arm and looked at Lan Qingwu's profile: "What's wrong? Ruo Ruo, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
As he spoke, Emperor Shenwu stretched out his bony fingers and gently turned Lan Qingwu's snow-white chin.
Lan Qingwu turned slightly to the side and whispered softly, "Brother Heng, Ruoruo is still pregnant... Ruoruo is a little scared..."
Emperor Shenwu embraced Lan Qingwu and said, "I have already consulted the imperial physician, and there is nothing wrong... Are you really feeling unwell? I will summon the imperial physician!"
Emperor Shenwu frowned slightly and was about to call for help, but Lan Qingwu hurriedly reached out and covered Emperor Shenwu's mouth.
Even the Emperor Shenwu was stunned for a moment, then he smiled softly and said, "Alright, little thing, I will be careful in the future and will not hurt the baby in my belly."
Emperor Shenwu said as he gently bit Lan Qingwu's delicate lips: "Ruo Ruo, I couldn't help it for a moment, don't be afraid! How could I really hurt you?"
Lan Qingwu remained silently in the arms of the Shenwu Emperor, gently wrapping her arms around his slender waist. The Shenwu Emperor was in his prime, full of vigor and vitality, and was indulging in women. Furthermore, the Shenwu Emperor was a master of martial arts. Lan Qingwu understood that the Shenwu Emperor didn't have any particular restraint in this regard; otherwise, before she entered the palace, she wouldn't have been able to have sex with five women in one night. It was simply that the Shenwu Emperor hadn't truly developed feelings for other women in those years, and thus had no particularly favored concubines. Now, because of Lan Qingwu, he had restrained himself even more. Lan Qingwu couldn't help but think that the Shenwu Emperor's behavior must have been somewhat frustrating for him to be an emperor.
Emperor Shenwu felt the little woman in his arms hug him tighter and said, "Ruoruo, what are you thinking about?"
Lan Qingwu hurriedly shook his head.
Emperor Shenwu looked at Lan Qingwu and said, "Ruoruo, I heard today that your cousin has been engaged and has chosen a good wife. What do you think I should give him as a reward?"
