Chapter 314 Seeking Marriage
The palace is bustling with activity every day because of the presence of the triplets. Emperor Shunqing is now free of worries. Although he has to sit in a wheelchair to move around, his health is gradually getting better. The most important thing for him every day is to play with his grandchildren and enjoy the happiness of family. He lives a very comfortable life.
Soon, it was time for the triplets' one-year-old party. At first, because the triplets were weak, Xiao Jingchuan couldn't bear to trouble the three children, so he didn't make a big fuss when they celebrated their hundred-day birthday.
During this year, Xu Yiyuan has put a lot of effort into conditioning the three of them. Fortunately, hard work pays off. After a year of conditioning, the three children are now in the same physical condition as ordinary children, and are even stronger than their peers.
Emperor Shunqing was very dissatisfied with Xiao Jingchuan because he did not hold a hundred-day banquet for his three children. Although he knew that the situation of the three children at that time could not be compared with that of ordinary people, he still felt that he owed them something.
Therefore, Emperor Shunqing was very active in the triplets' first birthday party. Eunuch An had never seen Emperor Shunqing attach so much importance to any prince or princess' first birthday party. It is conceivable how much Emperor Shunqing valued his three children.
Emperor Shunqing had begun making preparations half a year ago. Now that envoys from various countries had arrived one after another, Emperor Shunqing was naturally very busy. He personally took care of the banquet to ensure that it went smoothly.
Of course, Nangong Mo was no exception and he also attached great importance to the triplets' first birthday party. He had planned to come when the triplets were born, but Nangong Junze was in poor health, so he could only stay in Nanmo Country to stabilize the situation.
After more than a year of recuperation, Nangong Junze is slowly recovering. Although he is not as healthy as before, he is slowly getting better.
He was already very content to be able to recover to his current state. When the triplets grew up, one of them could come and inherit the throne of Nanmo Kingdom. That would be enough. By then, he could unload this burden and fulfill his former dream. It would not be in vain.
Nangong Junze had a good idea. He had accepted his fate of living alone until the end of his life. But when he thought of the woman who had always been by his side, Nangong Junze's eyes suddenly dimmed. People are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless? But in his current situation, he couldn't drag her down.
Hearing the sounds coming from outside, Nangong Junze was delighted, but when he thought of his own situation, he woke up instantly. Seeing Wen Leshi coming in, Nangong Junze suppressed the affection in his eyes and said coldly:
"Didn't I tell you this? You can leave these matters to the palace maids in the future. Your brother has sent you letters many times, asking you to go to Dongli Kingdom. You shouldn't stay here any longer!"
Thinking about this departure, perhaps they would never see each other again, Nangong Junze felt a little empty in his heart, as if a piece of his heart was missing.
And from what Wen Zhiqing said, this time he went back, it was to find a man for her. She is now old enough and should not waste her time here. After all, he can't give her the happiness she wants.
Listening to Nangong Junze's cold and ruthless words, Wen Leshi's eyes flashed with pain. Although he was ill, she didn't care. Even Doctor Xu said that with his current recovery, there was still a great chance. However, he refused to give her this opportunity. It seemed that she had never entered his heart.
Thinking back to the time when she first followed her master into the palace, she was punished and teased by Princess Nangong Yueting because she offended her. It was Nangong Junze who came forward to save her. At that time, he was like a ray of warm sunshine that shone into her heart. From that time on, he had taken root in her heart.
She knew that there was a huge gap between them, so she could only keep this joy in her heart all these years. When she learned that he was poisoned, she was completely panicked, but she didn't dare to show it. Seeing him lying there lifeless, she was still shaken.
You know, in her heart, he has always been an omnipotent existence. She really can't accept that the man who was full of vigor and vitality at the beginning is now lying decadently on the bed without life. Her determination to stay with him is getting stronger and stronger, so she went to find Her Royal Highness the Princess and asked her to let her stay with him.
She was already content to be able to stay by his side during this period, but she still felt a pang of heartache when she saw his distant eyes. Fortunately, he had almost recovered now, so she could leave without worry. Hiding the heartache in her eyes, Wen Leshi looked at him in a nonchalant manner and said:
"Your Highness is right. It's time for Leshi to leave. But before she leaves, Leshi has a wish. I wonder if Your Highness could do me a favor?"
He thought he would be very happy to hear that Wen Leshi was willing to leave, but now he found that it was not the case. He actually had an idea. He wanted her to stay, but he couldn't do it. He couldn't ruin her best years because of his own selfishness. She deserved a better person to spend her life with. Nangong Junze lowered his eyes and asked calmly:
"Thank you for your care during this period. As long as I can do something, I will definitely satisfy you."
Seeing Nangong Junze's usual aloofness, Wen Leshi suddenly smiled bitterly. She had known this would be the result, hadn't she? Why did she still feel sad? Looking up at Nangong Junze, Wen Leshi raised the corners of her lips, her face full of smiles:
"I've always heard that the marriage tree in Hu'en Temple is very powerful. I've lived in Nanmo Country for so many years, but I've never been there. My brother has been urging me to go back. It's just right for me to go and pray for a marriage before I leave. This way, I can fulfill my brother's wish. I wonder..."
"Okay, I'll go with you!"
Before Wen Leshi finished speaking, Nangong Junze agreed directly. For some reason, when he heard Wen Leshi talking about asking for marriage, he suddenly didn't want to listen to what she said.
Seeing Nangong Junze's indifferent look, Wen Leshi concealed the strangeness in her eyes and nodded slightly:
"Okay, then I'll go back and prepare. I'll come see you tomorrow!"
Wen Leshi turned around and left after she finished speaking. At this moment, her courage was gone and she didn't dare to look at Nangong Junze again. If she looked up, she would be able to see the hidden affection in Nangong Junze's eyes.
Wen Leshi left in a hurry and didn't notice the vicious eyes behind her. Mu Yiyun looked at Wen Leshi's leaving back, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes.
She and Nangong Junze were childhood sweethearts. If he hadn't had an accident, she would have asked her father to ask the emperor to grant her marriage, but Nangong Junze's situation at the time made her hesitate, fearing that he would never get better.
