Chapter 1576: Chapter 1571: The Preciousness of Rong Yun

That night, Qin Muyan held Rong Yun and recounted all the past events related to Su Yingxue, from when he was gravely injured and saved by her, to the long journey he undertook to the Great Cheng Dynasty to propose to her, their time spent together, fighting fiercely for her, and then her return to the Great Wei Imperial Palace becoming Princess Zhao Hua, and then...

He gave his own warhorse to Su Yingxue as a parting gift.

And then...

On the nights and days he did not marry Rong Yun, he kept Su Yingxue in his heart, missing her deeply.

Longing that, in the next life, he could meet her earlier.

As Rong Yun listened, tears rolled down from her eyes. She did not cry and fuss about it, but instead lifted her little face to Qin Muyan and said, "What a pity, you couldn’t win her over."

"What nonsense you speak! If this prince had married her, I would never have met you," Qin Muyan said, his rough fingertips wiping the tears from her eyes, his gaze filled with tenderness.

"It’s alright, even if I hadn’t married you, I would have married someone else. But Su Yingxue is your true love, and she’s a very good, very formidable woman. If you could have married her, you would have been very happy," Rong Yun foolishly thought to herself that if Su Yingxue had been the one to marry Qin Muyan, then the prince’s mansion would surely be managed very well by her now, wouldn’t it?

Qin Muyan said that in the Great Cheng Dynasty harem, everyone listened to Su Yingxue, and the empress’s prestige was not a bit lower than the emperor’s.

This was the proof of a woman’s capability.

Qin Muyan’s thoughts were initially swayed by Rong Yun, but when he heard her say that she would marry someone else, he was struck with a realization and hugged Rong Yun tightly, "This prince won’t let you marry anyone else!"

"Jingjing, no matter how good Yingxue is, she’s now the Empress of the Great Cheng Dynasty, not just this prince’s cousin. We have our own lives, there’s no turning back now, and no possibility for change. At present, you are this prince’s only wife, and you can’t think about marrying someone else anymore!"

Qin Muyan hugged her tightly, his possessiveness intensifying, and he asked, a bit childishly, "You had Long Ze, your childhood sweetheart, but he’s married your sister. You are not allowed to think about him anymore!"

If she did, he would lead his troops to Beiling City and end Long Ze’s life, giving her nothing left to think about!

"Ow, you’re hurting me again."

Rong Yun’s voice was delicate, truly unable to bear Qin Muyan’s forceful grip.

Qin Muyan gently loosened his hold a little, he lowered his head and looked at her charming cheeks, her lively and spirited eyes, as she said, "I just need to know that you love me now, not Su Yingxue."

"You’re not angry with me anymore? About the child... you don’t blame me anymore?" Qin Muyan was very surprised, never having expected that the young girl’s emotions could be so easily resolved.

He hadn’t even said many nice words to coax her, didn’t warm her hands and feet last night, didn’t pat her back to let her sleep comfortably in his arms.

She was so forgiving and magnanimous!

Rong Yun shook her head, "I’m not angry anymore, there’s nothing to be angry about... My aunt said that a woman’s heart should not be as small as the eye of a needle, and besides, I am the princess of a nation, the Princess of the Scarlet Flame King! I should be more generous."

"Hmm, although I don’t want to be generous, I really can’t learn that!" Rong Yun continued, her index fingers began to draw circles in front of her chest, "I care a lot about Su Yingxue, afraid that you love her more than you love me. I also care a lot about losing the child, that you won’t cherish me as before. I care even more, that if I don’t bear you children, you’ll go and have them with someone else..."

As Qin Muyan listened to her softly spoken words, the guilt in his heart deepened even further.

He lowered his head to kiss her forehead, "I’m sorry, Jingjing, I failed to protect you well."

"My brother, the Crown Prince, wrote to me, saying the more I care about something, the more it will entangle me, cloud my judgment, and obscure the path before me. But only by clearing away the fog myself can I realize what I truly desire and see clearly... the path I am to walk in the future."

Rong Yun’s delicate fingers crawled onto Qin Muyan’s body, picking at his collar with a soft yet resolutely firm voice, she said: "Qin Muyan, I only want you to love me, to always love me, never to change your heart."

At that moment, a surge of emotion welled up in Qin Muyan’s heart. He raised his hand, and with the most solemn demeanor of his life, he vowed, "I, Qin Muyan, love Rong Yun, through all lifetimes, without end!"

He could not offer her a perfect promise, but to love her was a commitment he would fulfill with his lifetime.

On this day, Rong Yun helped Qin Muyan bathe and dress for court. Her small hands, once clumsy but now skilled, fastened his belt and straightened his collar and sleeves before they set out together.

Qin Muyan gently stroked her soft long hair, "Your Highness has told you before that I intend to bring Li Yunshu back home, and perhaps take more concubines. There will not be much time to accompany you in the coming days, but you must also take good care of yourself, to prepare for our next child."

Rong Yun nodded in agreement, "Alright."

After Qin Muyan left, Rong Yun’s courtyard became exceptionally calm.

Strict Governess dragged her injured leg, attending to her day and night.

True to his word, Qin Muyan did not come for a long time. Within a month, he only found time to visit Rong Yun once.

It was after her small ailment when she had recovered.𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

He asked Xie Qingyou to bring many trinkets to coax her, and Xie Qingyou even brought her sister, Xie Qingyi, to visit Rong Yun together.

When they arrived, they saw Rong Yun packing a chest.

Xie Qingyou, who never considered himself an outsider, lifted his robe and squat down eagerly, "Sister-in-law, what are you packing up here?"

With her petite stature, Rong Yun squatting beside the large chest seemed as if she was nearly sinking into it. Her tender voice carried over, "I’m organizing letters. Wait a moment, I’ll play with you in a bit."

"Alright, we’ll wait for you." Xie Qingyou was very accommodating, finding it amusing to visit his sister-in-law and especially liking to watch her fuss.

"You all? Who else is there?" Rong Yun suddenly rose from the chest, her expression turning serious.

Upon revealing her face, behind Xie Qingyou, a woman in a pale green long dress courteously bowed to her, "Nobleman’s daughter Xie Qingyi, pays respects to Princess Rong Yun, offering salutations to Your Highness."

"Ah, Miss Xie has arrived, Governess, please serve the tea quickly!"

Rong Yun called out to someone outside.

She had thought only Xie Qingyou would come, so she did not stop her busy work. Now that Xie Qingyi had also come, she had no choice but to stand up, straighten her skirt, and properly attend to them.

Governess was naturally thoughtful and considerate. She had heard that the Miss from the Xie Family was renowned throughout the land for her knowledge, reason, and gentle elegance, so she served Snow Mountain Tea and Green Plum Soft Cakes for her.

After Xie Qingyi expressed her gratitude to Rong Yun, she sat down to taste the tea and snacks.
