Love is deep but fate is shallow, this beautiful wife has waited for a thousand years
Chapter 42: Never Take a Concubine
Today, Ruan Haoyu formally paid a visit to the General's Mansion of Dajin as the envoy of Nanrong to Dajin and the King of Nanrong Zhennan. Mu Huanan respectfully welcomed him in.
After the host and the guest sat down, Ruan Haoyu said, "Since the marriage has been settled today, the affairs of the General's Mansion will be the affairs of my Zhennan Palace from now on. The most important thing for this mission to Dajin has been completed, but there are still some trivial matters that need time to discuss, so I have purchased a house in the capital and plan to live there for a while. The emperor has also approved it."
Mu Xiaoqiao knew his intention and was grateful. As the King of Zhennan, he did not need to stay in Dajin in person to supervise these matters. There were officials to handle them. This was just an excuse for him to stay.
Mu Huanan naturally understood that, seeing that his future son-in-law behaved properly, had no airs, and doted on Mu Xiaoqiao, he felt completely relieved. Before leaving, he was able to see that his most beloved eldest daughter had a good ending, and he finally had no regrets.
"I thank the King of Zhennan for his sympathy. Xiao Qiao will be handed over to you from now on."
"General, rest assured. In this life, I will only have Xiao Qiao as my wife, and I will never take a concubine." Although Ruan Haoyu's voice was not loud, his words were sonorous and powerful.
No one present had expected that he would actually promise in front of everyone that he would never take a concubine. Instead, Mu Jincheng was the first to stand up and bowed to Ruan Haoyu: "Brother-in-law, you are a man. Mu Jincheng apologizes to you!"
Ruan Haoyu stood up to return the greeting. From beginning to end, he never put on the airs of the King of Zhennan when dealing with anyone in the Mu family.
Mu Huanan nodded with satisfaction. This son-in-law was indeed good and his daughter had not chosen the wrong person!
Mu Xiaoqiao was deeply touched. Every decision Ruan Haoyu made was made with her in mind. She didn’t know what blessing she had earned in her previous life to be able to meet such a person who understood her.
After dinner, Mu Xiaoqiao and Ruan Haoyu walked out of the general's mansion together. Eunuch Zhao Ning was sent back by Ruan Haoyu first. The two of them held hands and strolled aimlessly along the busy streets. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, and both of them seemed to not know what to say.
This was the first time the two of them had walked hand in hand since Mu Xiaoqiao was captured. There was no pursuit, no escape, and no one was injured. Thinking back to their previous acquaintance, Mu Xiaoqiao felt as if it were a lifetime ago.
"I…"
"you…"
They both spoke at the same time, then stopped at the same time and looked at each other, "You speak first."
"You speak first."
At the same time again.
The two of them couldn't help but laugh. Mu Xiaoqiao asked, "How is your injury?"
"I'm completely healed now, thanks to your cinnabar. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been a corpse by now."
After he woke up in Taohua Village, Woodcutter Liang had told him everything. He also knew that Mu Xiaoqiao had gone alone to Luofeng Mountain to get cinnabar for him.
"You are lucky." Mu Xiaoqiao teased him, "You are very proud to have a general from an enemy country running around for you."
Ruan Haoyu thought about what he had just said to Mu Jincheng, that although he was weak, he was able to capture his sister. It seemed that Mu Xiaoqiao was mocking him.
"Of course I'm proud," Ruan Haoyu held Mu Xiaoqiao's hand and pulled her close to him, whispering in her ear, "Not only that, I also made this enemy general pledge himself to me. Am I awesome?"
"So many people are watching us." Mu Xiaoqiao was startled when he pulled her over unexpectedly. She stepped back hastily, only to see Ruan Haoyu smiling with a look of triumph.
It turned out that Ruan Haoyu was teasing her.
"Very powerful," Mu Xiaoqiao stepped on Ruan Haoyu's foot and successfully saw his expression change.
"Madam, madam, I was wrong, I was wrong. You are the best." Ruan Haoyu begged for mercy in a hurry.
Mu Xiaoqiao put down his feet and couldn't help but smile, "Who is your wife!" Then he turned and ran away.
Ruan Haoyu looked at her slender back and shook his head lovingly. With a wife he couldn't defeat, his life would probably be exciting from now on.
Before they knew it, the two had been walking around for an hour, and Mu Xiaoqiao also learned what happened to Ruan Haoyu after she left.
He stayed at Liang Qiaofu's house for seven days to recuperate from his injuries. During this time, he asked his secret guards to contact all the ministers who opposed the second prince Ruan Haotian, and sent a secret guard to deliver a secret letter to the third prince Ruan Haojing, asking him to arrange the war at the front and lead his troops back to the city secretly.
Afterwards, Ruan Haoyu secretly met with a number of court ministers, and together with them formulated a plan to oppose Ruan Haotian's ascension to the throne. With their help, he successfully sneaked back to the palace.
Mu Xiaoqiao knew everything that happened afterwards. Ruan Haoyu successfully overthrew Ruan Haotian's coronation ceremony and supported the third prince Ruan Haojing as emperor. He was given the title of King of Zhennan and asked for an assignment as an envoy to Dajin.
The new emperor Ruan Haojing has always been doting on his sixth brother Ruan Haoyu. This time, Ruan Haoyu even handed over the throne to him. In addition, Ruan Haoyu really cared about the people, so he agreed to Ruan Haoyu's request for marriage, and resisted the pressure from the court and gave six cities to Da Jin.
Mu Xiaoqiao knew that although Ruan Haoyu downplayed it, the hardships involved were imaginable. His journey must have been extremely difficult, but he did it in the end.
"Ayu, can I call you that?" Mu Xiaoqiao stroked Ruan Haoyu's face with some heartache.
At this moment, the two of them were sitting on the roof. Neither of them liked the noise, so Mu Xiaoqiao took Ruan Haoyu to the roof. Above their heads, there was a crescent moon. As the night deepened, the noise below slowly disappeared.
Ruan Haoyu held Mu Xiaoqiao's hand tightly and looked into her eyes. "Of course, you can call me whatever you want. From now on, I will call you Amu."
"Amu..." Mu Xiaoqiao chewed on the name and nodded, "Okay, from now on, only you can call me by this name. I am your Amu, and you are my Ayu."
Ruan Haoyu reached out and tidied up Mu Xiaoqiao's hair, then nodded, "Amu, I don't like the court, it's too tiring. In the future, let's leave the court and go to the mountains and rivers, okay? We'll travel to the mountains and rivers of every country in the world, famous mountains and rivers, you be the chivalrous heroine, and I'll be your little follower. When you're tired, I'll help you massage your legs, and when you're sleepy, I'll be your pillow. We'll be a carefree couple, okay?"
Mu Xiaoqiao laughed, "I'm afraid that you've already collapsed from exhaustion before I'm tired, and it's unclear who will be massaging whose legs."
"Then you can beat me, I have no objection." Ruan Haoyu grinned.
"You wish. I'm a female knight... um" Before she could finish her words, her lips were blocked by Ruan Haoyu. He kissed her very hard. Mu Xiaoqiao felt dizzy and felt that the air was sucked out of her. Her body went limp. Ruan Haoyu held her with his strong arms to prevent her from falling.
Mu Xiaoqiao was puzzled afterwards. She clearly had no martial arts skills, so why couldn't she sit steadily?
