Quick Transmigration: The Foolish Beauty Saves the World

Chapter 185 The Useless Prince's Power Seizure (The End)

Since the late emperor, the northern lands have been plagued by frequent wars. Now, with the pollution no longer aggravating the situation and with Yu An overseeing things for many years, things have finally begun to stabilize.

When Jingli turned twenty, the Northern Border surrendered voluntarily, offering thousands of gold and silver treasures in exchange for ten years of peaceful coexistence and free trade between the two countries.

Jingli had no intention of turning away such a good thing that was offered to her. Although the northern region was not rich in its own resources, it was an essential place for communication with the outside world, but it had not been developed yet due to its terrain.

With the two countries on good terms, General Yu would naturally receive a generous reward.

In the golden autumn season, Yu An led a group of men back to the capital to receive their reward.

In recent years, Yu An has returned to the capital, but with important matters on the border, he usually returns by fast horse on official business. It's considered good if he can have a meal with Jing Li.

Most of the time, I would go to Jingli to find him.

However, the journey was long and the northern border had been unstable, so Yu An dared not let Jing Li stay too long, for fear that something might happen to Jing Li.

The two spent little time together.

Now that military power has been restored and there are many talented people around, Yu An can finally relax for a while.

This time, upon returning to the capital, Yu An did not ride at full speed as he had last time, but instead rode his horse slowly outside the city.

The army could not march into the city in formation, and one could not ride a horse at high speed in the city unless there was an emergency. As he approached the city gate, Yu An simply dismounted, intending to go back and pack up first, and then go to the palace to find his emperor.

Yu An was already a general and had his own residence in the imperial city. The two characters "Yu Fu" on the gate were personally inscribed by Jing Li.

Unfortunately, he was all alone, and after returning to the capital, he spent most of his time in the palace, so the house was left unused.

I expected to see a desolate scene, but to my surprise, everything inside the mansion was neatly arranged, clearly indicating that someone regularly came to take care of it.

A servant was sweeping in the courtyard. When he saw Yu An return, he quickly and respectfully greeted him, "Master."

Yu An nodded and asked, "Who sent you?"

The servant obediently replied, "Yes, sir, it is His Majesty."

Yu An understood, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

The servant then said, "Master, His Majesty will send someone to fetch you to the palace for dinner later."

Yu An nodded, gave the servant some loose silver, and strode into the house to wash and dress.

Jingli probably knew that Yu An would be returning soon, so the servants in the room had made preparations in advance. The hot water was at the perfect temperature, and the official robes had been scented.

Yu An didn't find it strange at this time. Every time he came back, Jing Li's arrangements were very appropriate.

Until he saw a large red and gold carriage parked at the door.

This carriage was quite different from the ones he usually rode in; it was extremely large, and it would probably take eight people to lift it.

In terms of color, it is clearly different from his usual low-key style.

The red is a vibrant crimson, with a black base featuring subtle patterns and fine white-gold accents, creating a festive and luxurious feel without being overly ostentatious.

But Yu An's heart was beating very fast.

He remained expressionless, sat down in the sedan chair, and ran his fingers along the dark patterns on the seat, where he indeed felt a faint protrusion.

He brushed aside the brocade covering the chair, revealing a bright red letter hidden inside.

Yu An had a vague premonition, and it was difficult to control his trembling hands. The letter inside was also red, with no other words, only a pair of "double happiness" characters, and a small "yuan" below.

Yu An's heart skipped a beat, and in that instant, he felt as if he were flying to the clouds.

He hurriedly folded the letter and hid it close to his chest. He then lifted the sedan curtain to see how far he was from the palace.

He was shocked again when he lifted the lid.

The road to the palace was covered with red flower petals, and the buildings on both sides were also decorated with red silk.

The people along the street knew that this was a welcoming ceremony for the great hero Yu An, and a few of them laughed and said, "Our emperor is so good to the general. Look at this ceremony, it's like a wedding."

When the words reached Yu An's ears, his face flushed a pink hue, like the petals on the street.

Jing Li was already waiting in the palace. He personally helped Yu An down from the sedan chair. As the two approached, Jing Li gently asked, "Are you satisfied, my dear minister?"

These words came out of nowhere, but Yu An couldn't help but smile.

The dinner that night was a rare family feast.

Langyue and the Little Pig Emperor were both present. Jingli dismissed the palace servants, and Langyue spoke first.

"Xiao An, please pour the tea."

Yu An was still somewhat stunned.

Lang Yue shook her head: "You two have special circumstances, so we can't really disregard worldly customs and do whatever we want. I can only ask you to go through this as your mother's witness first."

Over the years, traveling with the Little Pig Emperor, Lang Yue has rediscovered some of the carefree spirit of her youth. She finds joy in the midst of hardship, thinking back to how she and her childhood sweetheart disregarded societal norms, and how her own son truly resembles her.

Yu An never expected this to happen.

Homosexuality was not uncommon in this era, but the wealthy kept it secretly for their own amusement. No one would actually bring a male companion home to meet their elders, as that would be met with ridicule.

Yu An thought that he and Jing Li would only secretly pledge their lives to each other, but he never expected that Lang Yue would witness it.

Seeing that he didn't move, Jingli said sullenly, "Xiao An, are you going to change your mind?"

This was the first time in all his worlds that he had taken the initiative to propose, so why did Yu An have this expression?

Yu An snapped out of her daze and hurriedly stood up, unsure whether to pour tea for Lang Yue first or explain to Jing Li.

At this moment, the little pig emperor asked, "What about me? What about me?"

He wasn't particularly intelligent, but he felt that Lang Yue was waiting for something good, and he also wanted his share.

Langyue pushed a plate of fruit towards him: "Yours is here."

The little pig emperor happily ate his food.

With this interruption, Yu An finally regained his composure. He added two bowls of tea, holding one for himself and handing the other to Jing Li.

When Jingli took it, she could clearly feel that the person's hand was trembling slightly.

Since Jingli was a "celestial being," the two of them no longer needed to worship heaven and earth. Instead, they knelt before Langyue and offered him hot tea.

Lang Yue gave Yu An a packet of silver notes and said somewhat impatiently, "Aren't you going to call for help?"

Yu An took two seconds to react, then called out blankly, "Mother..."

He has never uttered those two words since he was born.

Fate took many turns, and Langyue saved his mother and him. Now, he is married to the son of his benefactor and calls his benefactor "mother".

His eyes welled up with tears, and Lang Yue, without being coy, agreed.

Next, Langyue personally cut off a lock of hair from each of them, tied it tightly with a red string, put it in a sachet, poured in nuptial wine, and had the two drink it.

Looking at Yu An again, she couldn't help but feel a pang of pity.

"Good child, I'm sorry you had to go through this."

Yu An shook his head: "I know Mother and His Majesty mean well."

If they were to make a big show of it, just like welcoming the Empress, not to mention the social impact, Jingli would not want to see it happen to Yu'an.

If that were true, there would probably be no more General Yu in this world, only the name of the female empress.

Moreover, Jingli did not consider Yu An to be the empress.

That night, no one was left in the emperor's bedchamber. No one knew that the solemn and majestic emperor, in the arms of the ruthless General Yu, was more passionate than the red candles in the room.

[Congratulations, host, you have reached the target of the mission...]

The fake goods task broadcast was cut off by 6058 before it was finished.

[6058: Shut up! I'm already annoyed by my son's wedding!]
