After bringing Gu Su back from Daren, I only wanted to tie him up.
But he looked at me pitifully. "Dai Yue, what right does she have to monopolize Senior?"
Me: "…"
Because Sir Ling Yue is Her Excellency's official husband!
I wrung the handkerchief dry and walked over to him, wiping his face. "Her Ladyship told you not to get too close to Sir Ling Yue. Just stand there and talk to him. Why can't you remember? Why do you keep pouncing on him?"
Gu Su felt even more wronged. "But he's my Senior Brother."
I didn't know how to respond.
He had lived with Sir Ling Yue since he was young, so it was normal for him to have a sense of dependence.
'I'd better keep an eye on him in the future and not let him see Sir Ling Yue.'
The days on the mountain were leisurely. Most of the time, they didn't know what time it was down there.
When we received news from the Prime Minister's Mansion that the Empress had passed away, Ying Yue and I were surprised.
Looking at the Empress's appearance, she should have no problem living for at least ten more years. How could she be dead?
Even though His Excellency has not been in court these past few years, His Excellency's power is still in the hands of the Jun Family. These people are extremely loyal to the Jun Family. His Excellency is probably the first person in history who has not been in court for several years and is still sitting on the Prime Minister's throne.
The Empress had passed away, and the Prime Minister naturally had to return to court.
I packed my things and prepared to go down the mountain with my lord.
Thinking that it would probably take a month or so for him to return, he couldn't help but worry about Gu Su.
I went to his room to look for him and found him packing too.
A few years had passed, and the youth from back then had grown into a handsome man.
It was probably because he had been practicing martial arts all year round that he had an extraordinary heroic spirit. He was even more attractive than the men at the foot of the mountain.
I was a little stunned. He had grown so big without me noticing.
"Dai Yue," I heard him call.
"Impudent. You should call me Sister Dai Yue." I came back to my senses and walked in. "Why are you packing your things?"
He cleverly avoided the first question and directly answered the second one. "I'm going down the mountain with you. Senior Brother has already agreed."
Even after so many years, he was still so attached to Sir Ling Yue.
Moreover, he had trained hard so that he knew how to fight back when the adults wanted to chop him.
Every time, Daren would be so angry that he stomped his feet.
"Let's go down …" Who knew what would happen?
I wanted to persuade him not to go, but looking at his expectant eyes, I didn't say anything.
Her Excellency and Sir Ling Yue went their own way as usual, spreading dog food all the way.
Ying Yue complained at the side, causing Gu Su to quarrel with her.
In the past, his life had been tense and fulfilling, but now, he felt that such a life was not bad.
Although Daren hasn't been in court for a few years, his prestige hasn't decreased at all.
Everything went smoothly.
The new Empress was the third child of the Empress. In the past, she didn't have much of a presence. Unexpectedly, she was the last one to ascend the throne.
"Dai Yue, today is the Qiqiao Festival. Senior Brother went out with her. Let's secretly follow them."
Gu Su rushed over and grabbed my hand with an anxious look on his face.
"Milord and Sir Ling Yue go to the Three-Life Tree every year during the Begging Festival. What are we going to do there …" My voice trailed off towards the end.
He glanced at Gu Su from the corner of his eyes.
The trembling youth that she had held in her arms all those years ago had already grown so big …
"Senior Brother didn't take me there in the past. Take me there." Gu Su shook my hand and acted like a spoiled child.
She probably wasn't acting coquettishly. It was just my imagination.
I sighed. "If Sir finds out, he'll kill me."
"No, no. We'll just take a look from afar."
I had no choice but to bring him out.
The Qiqiao Festival was very lively every year. I followed the crowd and brought Gu Su to the Three-Life Tree.
From afar, I could see Milord and Sir Ling Yue standing under the Three-Life Tree.
Sir Ling Yue seemed to be looking for something while Milord dragged him away.
I watched them. I didn't even know when Gu Su had left or returned.
He waved a wooden tablet in front of me.
I looked at him in surprise.
It was too dark for me to see his expression, but I could hear his voice.
"I heard that lovers who make a wish under the Three-Life Tree can grow old together. Do you want to try?"
At that moment, I seemed to hear my heart thumping.
The seed that I had buried time and time again grew into a towering tree, its branches wrapping around my heart.
"If you don't want to, then forget it." Gu Su suddenly put the wooden tablet away and turned to leave.
I tugged on his arm. "I want to."
Gu Su turned back. Fireworks suddenly bloomed above his head. They weren't very pretty, but they seemed to become more beautiful as they bloomed in his dark eyes.
I once asked Milord what was the most sincere thing to write on the Three-Life Tree.
She said, "Names. There's no need for extra words. Just put their names together and that's enough."
When our names were engraved on the wooden tablet, I suddenly understood why Milord insisted on giving Sir Ling Yue the best, unwilling to let him suffer the slightest grievance.
"Dai Yue."
"Hm?" I turned back.
Gu Su's handsome face suddenly enlarged in my eyes. Before I could react, his lips covered mine.
When did he stop calling me Dai Yue-jiejie?
It's been so long …
Every time I said it, he would change the topic.
I actually didn't notice.
Yingyue and Milord didn't seem surprised that Gu Su and I were together, their expressions saying that it should've been like this from the start.
Milord's expression was even richer. I interpreted it to mean something along the lines of 'I can finally marry off this idiot so he won't bother my wife anymore.'
In order to prevent Gu Su from bothering Ling Yue, Milord directly prepared their wedding at the Prime Minister's residence.
I didn't expect Milord to bring my mother here.
I hadn't seen her for many years. Ever since the previous Prime Minister passed away, she left the Prime Minister's residence and went to a farm in the countryside.
She was already old.
"Mother." I kowtowed heavily to her.
"Good, good …" Mother's wrinkled face bloomed into a smile, but there were tears at the corners of her eyes.
Gu Su stood beside me, a little nervous. He followed my example and kowtowed to Mother. "Mother."
Mother seemed to be unable to control herself and began to sob quietly. After a long while, she finally said, "Mother is very happy to see you get married."
She took out a brocade box from her sleeve and beckoned Gu Su over.
Gu Su glanced at me. Seeing me nod, he got up and walked over.
Mother opened the box, revealing a jade pendant. She solemnly handed it to Gu Su. "I'll have to trouble you to take care of her in the future."
"I will," Gu Su answered seriously.
I couldn't help but laugh. I really wanted to ask him, 'Who's taking care of who?'
The wedding wasn't simple, but rather grand.
In the main hall, Mother sat at the head of the table, looking at her and Gu Su with a kind expression.
Mother originally wanted Milord to sit there as well, but Milord refused.
She didn't give a reason and only refused expressionlessly. Mother didn't dare to say anything else.
The master of ceremonies spoke.
"First bow to the heavens and earth …"
"Second bow to the parents …"
"Husband and wife bow to each other …"
