"It's been so long since I've ridden in this car, I've missed it so much!" Liu Shengxu exclaimed as soon as he got on the bus.

Ruan Mumu glanced at Liu Shengxu in the rearview mirror. Apart from feeling that his temperament had become slightly more composed, he seemed to have remained unchanged.

"Your Majesty, may I ask if you have any secrets to maintaining your youthful appearance? How do you take such good care of yourself?" Ruan Mumu joked.

Liu Shengxu felt secretly pleased when he heard Ruan Mumu praising him.

But he said, "I was born so handsome, why would I need any maintenance? Girl, do you regret not marrying me?"

"You wish..." Ruan Mumu pouted.

"Liu Ziyun, have you been sitting on the throne for too long and want to find a place to retire?" Qiao Tinghao warned coldly.

Upon hearing his words, Liu Shengxu laughed loudly and said, "Otherwise, why don't you switch places as emperor?"

"Tch, who cares about your lousy throne? If you hadn't called us back this time, I wouldn't have bothered coming back!" Qiao Tinghao said disdainfully.

"Others are willing to fight for the throne even if it means rivers of blood, but you wouldn't even accept it if it were offered to you with both hands. Sigh..." Liu Shengxu also sighed deeply.

“You’re stuck in this palace every day, unable to go anywhere. Don’t you get annoyed?” Ruan Mumu interjected.

"That's right! I haven't been able to go out for two years. Since becoming emperor, besides the endless stream of memorials to read, I haven't even had the appetite to enjoy my favorite food," Liu Shengxu lamented.

"We've returned this time because there's a very important matter that requires Your Majesty's permission." Qiao Tinghao said as he drove, pondering where to hold his wedding with Ruan Mumu. Then he remembered that in ancient times, bestowed marriages were quite common.

Hearing Qiao Tinghao rarely mention conditions to him, he readily agreed: "Granted."

"You approved it without even hearing what it was about?" Ruan Mumu asked, somewhat surprised.

Liu Shengxu said casually, "I offered him the throne, and he refused. What can't I agree to? Tell me, what do you want? I'll grant you anything."

He acted as if it were perfectly natural.

Actually, when it comes to the fact that Beisheng has recovered the three kingdoms, a great deal of credit was given to Qiao Tinghao and Ruan Mu for fighting for him. Now that he has unified the world, even if their requests are difficult, he will find a way to meet them.

Ruan Mumu gave him a thumbs up in admiration.

"I would like to ask you to grant me and Ya Tou a marriage," Qiao Tinghao said.

Ruan Mumu was taken aback, not expecting Qiao Tinghao to make such a request.

Liu Shengxu's reaction at that moment was to deliberately cover his chest with both hands and say in a sorrowful tone, "Brother, you're rubbing salt into my heart!"

Seeing you two so loving is already devastating enough, and now you want me to arrange your marriage? You know perfectly well that I... Ugh, you're stabbing me in the heart, do you even realize that?

Qiao Tinghao said coldly, "I'm saving you by letting you give up your own hopes, and you don't appreciate it."

Ruan Mumu burst into laughter at the two men's lame jokes.

After she finished laughing, she urged, "Drive faster, Sister Wan must be getting impatient waiting for us."

When their car drove into the Pear Blossom Palace, Lin Wanfeng had been waiting for a long time, holding her nearly one-year-old son.

Seeing Ruan Mumu get out of the car, Lin Wanfeng was overjoyed and rushed forward, calling out, "Mumu, I'm so glad to see you!"

"Sister Wan, it's been a long time. Is this your son Bang'er?" Ruan Mumu greeted Lin Wanfeng with a smile, and then thought of going over to tease the little guy.

The little guy looked at Ruan Mumu in camouflage with great curiosity, opened his little arms to Ruan Mumu as if to hug her, and shouted "Ah! Ah! Ah!" It was unclear what he was trying to say.

Ruan Mumu reached out and hugged the little guy, then held him in one arm and used the other to stroke his soft, chubby face.

In the past two years, although she has been fighting away from home for many years, she has tried her best to go into the space to reunite with her family when they agreed to go in, and she can often hug her little nephew and niece.

Her sister-in-law gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, who were very cute. The boy looked a lot like her older brother when he was a child, and the girl looked a lot like Ruan Mumu when she was a child.

So now he's quite adept at holding Liu Shengxu's son, Liu Zhengbang.

"Mumu, now that you're back, you'll be settling down in the capital, right? I wish you could stay here and spend more time with me," Lin Wanfeng pleaded, looking at Ruan Mumu.

"Your Majesty, you are very busy, why would you need me to keep you company?" Ruan Mumu said with a smile, while playing with the child.

"I'm so tired of this palace life, sigh..." Lin Wanfeng sighed.

"Bang'er, come to your father." Liu Shengxu took his son Liu Zhengbang and said with a smile.

"Sister Wan, you are happy and content now, so stop lamenting!" Ruan Mumu tried to comfort Lin Wanfeng by taking her arm.

The two walked into the main hall of Pear Blossom Palace while talking.

Soon the dining table in the main hall was filled with delicious dishes.

"Mumu, you and General Qiao are both sixteen now, it's time to get married," Lin Wanfeng suddenly brought it up.

“Tinghao just asked me to arrange their marriage,” Liu Shengxu said from the side.

“Your Majesty, this marriage decree is necessary. I also need to prepare a generous dowry for Mumu,” Lin Wanfeng echoed.

"It's fine if the Empress decides." Liu Shengxu looked at Lin Wanfeng, who shared his thoughts, and was quite satisfied.

When he proposed to marry Lin Wanfeng, she agreed without hesitation.

The reason is simple: Liu Shengxu has always lived in her heart, and for him, she is willing to stay in this palace forever.

The group hadn't gotten together for two years, and this time they reunited and enjoyed a meal together happily.

After the meal, Liu Shengxu asked Xiao Songzi to bring the writing materials and personally wrote an imperial edict to bestow marriage upon Qiao Tinghao and Ruan Mumu.

Liu Shengxu didn't let Xiao Songzi read the imperial edict. Instead, he rolled up the bright yellow edict and handed it to Qiao Tinghao, saying, "Treat the Princess well. I'm the one who will support her. If you dare to let her down, I'll make you pay."

“You don’t have that chance.” Qiao Tinghao held Ruan Mumu’s hand and said as if making a promise, “Girl, I will never let you down. For all eternity, even if the sea dries up and the rocks crumble, I will never abandon you.”

Ruan Mumu tightly intertwined her fingers with his and replied, "As long as you never leave me, I will be with you through thick and thin for the rest of my life."

Seeing the sweet smiles on the two of them, Liu Shengxu gently embraced Lin Wanfeng and whispered in her ear, "Feng'er, as long as you never leave me, I will be with you through life and death."
