"Yes." "You didn't hear wrong."
"Why? Do you love me? " Although Xuanyuan Zhan wanted to make her the empress and her heart was filled with joy, she had lost her memories and couldn't remember his. Feng Yu didn't want to do this.
Feng Yu's question stunned Xuanyuan Zhan. Did he love her? He didn't know. Maybe there was. Xuanyuan Zhan's heart was filled with contradictions, and he didn't know what was going on either. He only knew that he unconsciously wanted to take care of her, cherish her, and not let her feel wronged. When he saw his concubines push her aside, he would feel inexplicably unhappy, just to let them know that Feng Yu held a different place in his heart.
"You are Dou Dou's mother, so if there is anything that needs to be done, it would be our wife. Xuanyuan Zhan asked.
"That's right, but I don't want you to not love me …"
"I know what you're worried about. They told me that before I lost my memories, we were extremely in love. Why don't you have the confidence to make me fall in love with you again?" Xuanyuan Zhan asked.
"Who said that?" Feng Yu said.
"Then what are you afraid of?" Xuanyuan Zhan suddenly looked at Feng Yu up close. Feng Yu felt that her heart was beating faster.
"It's not like I'm not afraid," Feng Yu said.
"Since you're not afraid, then why aren't you willing?" Xuanyuan Zhan said, "Then you just have to wait patiently to be your queen."
"Have a good rest." After Xuanyuan Zhan finished, he left.
That night, Feng Yu found it hard to fall asleep, because she wasn't sure if Xuanyuan Zhan truly loved her from the bottom of his heart.
"If being bestowed the title of Empress was purely because I was Dou Dou's mother, because I stood alone and was bullied by others without any support in the harem, then what was the starting point for all that Xuanyuan Zhan had done? All I know is that it wasn't love. What am I supposed to do with a queen like that? Instead, you've tied yourself up with a familiar stranger and lost your freedom. " Feng Yu was tossing and turning on the bed. This matter had disturbed her mind.
At the same time, various memories of the past with Xuanyuan Zhan surfaced in his mind, and he felt that Xuanyuan Zhan cared about him. Just as the phoenix feathers were tossing and turning, Dou Dou suddenly came over.
"Mother, Dou Dou is here to find you. Mother Dou Dou misses you so much. Eh, mother still hasn't fallen asleep yet, is she thinking about something?" Feng Yu did not hear Dou Dou's call, so she did not reply. Dou Dou shouted again.
"Mother, what are you thinking about that Dou Dou has already disappeared? Dou Dou is unhappy."
Dou Dou mischievously yelled, "Ah, mother, I'm afraid, Dou Dou is afraid."
At this moment, Feng Yu finally reacted and immediately welcomed him with a smile. Because his beloved Dou Dou had come, and called out to him, causing him to initially look unhappy because his mother had not paid attention to him. But not long after, Dou Dou also left, and Dou Dou began to act coquettishly towards Feng Yu.
"Mother, I want to sleep with you today, I haven't seen mother for a long time, Dou Dou really misses her. Although my masters told me that Dou Dou can't be with mother when he grows up, I couldn't fall asleep in my sleeping quarters. "I hope that mother doesn't blame me. From today onwards, I will be like an adult and protect mother. I will not let mother leave alone." The reason why Dou Dou nestled himself so close to Feng Yu was because he wanted to get closer to his mother. It was to cover up the fact that he did not dare to cry in front of everyone.
"My good child." At this moment, Feng Yu felt that Dou Dou was truly going to grow up. He would grow up to be a man like Xuanyuan Zhan and would also meet the woman he liked in the future. For a moment, he thought of the events that would happen in the future. He could not blame himself for this, as everything before his eyes made him feel at ease.
After that, Feng Yu helped Dou Dou wash up, and told him some of the things that happened between him and Xuanyuan Zhan. As Dou Dou listened, he slowly fell asleep, as if he did not know that his mother would be conferred the title of Empress tomorrow, he looked at Dou Dou's sleeping face and couldn't help but think of that insufferable man, Xuanyuan Zhan. Seeing that Dou Dou's eyes were similar to Xuanyuan Zhan's, he slowly revealed a smile, and looked at the moon outside.
The first ray of morning light scattered onto Dou Dou's long eyelashes. Dou Dou slightly opened his eyes and saw the corner of his mother's mouth raise into a smile. Having his own mother by his side after waking up was already a great blessing for the Dou Dou who had reunited after so long. However, there were people who insisted on breaking this moment of beauty.
"Mother, mother …" Dou Dou gently called out into Feng Yu's ear, as if there was something urgent, but she couldn't bear to wake Feng Yu up. These words caused Feng Yu to wake up from her dream. Looking towards the direction of Dou Dou's gaze, he saw that it was Xuanyuan Zhan who had arrived. Xuanyuan Zhan hugged Dou Dou tightly and was unable to struggle free.
"Xuanyuan Zhan, what are you doing! Let go of my Dou Dou. " Feng Yu originally wanted to extend his hand to snatch the child, but Xuanyuan Zhan cleverly dodged his hand. Feng Yu could only look at Xuanyuan Zhan with resentment, but there were no words in his mind to describe the current Xuanyuan Zhan. He was also extremely confused as to why his life was so close to completion. For example, on such a beautiful morning, Xuanyuan Zhan had appeared. This day was getting worse.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Dou Dou is my child as well. On the other hand, you look at me with a vengeful gaze, making the child guess whether the parents have a bad relationship or something like that. You're such a big person, yet you have the nerve to let a child worry about your relationship? " While he was speaking, Xuanyuan Zhan had already put on Dou Dou's clothes.
Feng Yu was stunned. Was this really the doing of this man in front of her? Did he draw a lot of kung fu in private? Thinking of this, the resentment in Feng Yu's eyes disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only gentleness.
"Dou Dou has to attend morning class, and cannot let his child develop the habit of being late. Dou Dou has to learn the most basic of how to respect a teacher." He then instructed the maid to bring Dou Dou out to wash up.
Before Dou Dou left, he still held onto Feng Yu's hand, "Mother, I'm going to class, I can't let mister wait for me. I still have time to get along with my mother in the future. Since my mother has also left my father a long time ago, I must really miss her in my heart. " After saying that, Dou Dou even made a gesture to cheer Feng Yu on, and left with the palace maids without waiting for her to say anything else.
In the bustling palace, there was suddenly only Xuanyuan Zhan and Feng Yu left. Feng Yu did not dare to look at Xuanyuan Zhan directly, and she himself did not know why. A long silence was finally broken by Xuanyuan Zhan.
"Are you ready?" When Xuanyuan Zhan spoke to Feng Yu, he wanted a pool of clear water. It caused others to feel tenderness, but it also made Feng Yu feel that it was a bit unfathomable. This was probably the criticism associated with being with the most familiar stranger.
"What do I have to prepare for?" Feng Yu, more or less, had some doubts in his heart. He couldn't show that he cared or was flustered, so the best attitude was to pretend that he didn't care.
"You're my woman, there's no need to panic. With me here, you can relax a bit." Looking at Feng Yu's erratic eyes, Xuanyuan Zhan had long since seen through her panic.
Hearing Xuanyuan Zhan's words, Feng Yu felt as if there were countless gongs and drums in her heart, and all of them started to ring loudly. Feng Yu, who had been seen through, did not know how to react. Her face was flushed red and countless excuses flashed through her mind, but she could not say anything. Right at this moment, coincidentally, Feng Yu's wandering eyes met Xuanyuan Zhan's. Feng Yu felt that Xuanyuan Zhan's gaze was like a magnet, causing him to be unable to move no matter what. Feng Yu felt like she was about to suffocate in such an awkward situation. She stood up and was about to walk over, but was stopped by Xuanyuan Zhan.
"Feng Yu, I will take care of everything." If there was an outsider present, he would definitely be shocked by Xuanyuan Zhan's expression. This was because this man was rarely so gentle and gentle, and saying that he didn't like her was not from the bottom of his heart. It was likely that no one believed him.
Feng Yu looked at the back of Xuanyuan Zhan's back before he left and his heart suddenly relaxed. Thinking that this man was afraid that she would be flustered, he deliberately made a detour to his own bedroom to say these comforting words. Although he didn't say it out loud, Feng Yu still saw it coming.
Thinking of this, Feng Yu looked into the mirror and began to seriously dress up. SheSheas already his wife, so she didn't need to put too much pressure on herself. In the past, when he was a subject, she had always been his wife. Now that he was a king, he would learn how to be a king's wife. From now on, her every word and action would no longer be just her own. He would be shouldering half of his responsibilities.
With the clothes, it was a red powder. As his woman, she should have such a beautiful appearance. Then, thinking back to just now, when Xuanyuan Zhan said that he would take care of everything and address her not as us, but as me. Feng Yu's heart unavoidably rippled, as well as that kind of heartfelt, sweet smile … This was the way the king of the world told Feng Yu that everything was the same.
At this moment, the ministers were already waiting in the imperial court, waiting for the man in the throne.
"Your Majesty is here!" Eunuch's clear and melodious summons broke the silence in the air as the ministers slightly tidied themselves up.
The ministers all kneeled on the ground and looked at their emperor, shouting out their greetings to the emperor. At the side, one of the ministers said that this official had something to report. Xuanyuan Zhan did not pay any attention to him and instead said faintly, "We have a great matter to announce today, the decree: The current Empress shall be conferred the title of Phoenix Feather," followed by a question: "Does this subordinate have any objections?
