Morbid pet

Engagement dinner.

Red silk wedding satin, lanterns hanging high.

Under the bright red color, Li Mu finally got his wish and got engaged to the woman he liked when he was young.

This journey has been too full of twists and turns. Although Le Ji can only become one of his concubines, he is already very happy, with a hint of real joy on his handsome face.

Changle came over. She was the hostess here today. The engagement took place in the Western Suburbs Courtyard, where Li Mu had lived since childhood.

There were not many guests, and since it was not a formal wedding banquet, the guests were mostly their acquaintances.

Everyone got together and talked and had a great time.

Li Mu couldn't help but drink too much in the high atmosphere of everyone coming and going. Le Ji reminded him in a low voice not to drink too much. Although he said it was in vain, Li Mu held her hand. Pulled tighter.

Li Yu today wore a pink velvet jacket and skirt, with a pink jade crown on her head. She rarely applied a little makeup, her cheeks were rosy, and her lips were cherry pink, very beautiful.

Li Yu took a glass of rose-flavored fruit wine and went to toast her second brother with a glass of wine. She said, "Second brother, I wish you a happy engagement and give birth to a grandson for your parents as soon as possible."

Le Ji looked a little embarrassed and involuntarily took half a step back from Li Mu, letting someone stand in front of her without saying a word.Le Ji didn't dare to tell them that it was a fact that she couldn't have children. Only Li Mu smiled and replied, "Okay."

Li Mu had already made up his mind that Le Ji would not have children if she couldn't bear them. In the future, he could still marry a real wife and pass on the family line. He didn't think much about the rest.

Le Ji's face turned a little pale, and then she mustered up the courage to return a glass of wine to Li Yu, "Your Highness, I propose a toast to you."

Li Yu smiled and nodded, revealing a girl's innocent smile. Her teeth were neat and white, as dazzling as a goddess descending from heaven. "Okay, sister-in-law."

Le Ji's smile became more sincere, and with this call of sister-in-law, Le Ji's still anxious heart suddenly sank, "Thank you."

Li Yu raised her little face in confusion and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you thanking me for?"

Lucky shook her head and said nothing.

Li Mu knew how to hide Leji behind him, and explained: "Sister, Leji is relatively reserved and doesn't know how to talk. Don't take it to heart. The second brother will continue to toast, so you go find her." Brother, let’s play for a while.”

Li Yu said oh, and then searched Li Wanning's body with his eyes.

Li Wanning stood in the sunshine with a majestic figure.He was turning his head to listen to what Chang Le was saying, with a slight smile on his lips as he spoke.

Li Yu shouted across the crowd, "Brother!"

Li Wanning immediately turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, and looked at Li Yu in the crowd, his heartbeat blanking for a moment.Then he whispered something to Chang Le and walked in the direction of Li Yu.

Li Yu didn't move a step. Her feet seemed to be filled with lead now. She couldn't walk. She only raised her eyes and looked at Li Wanning and said, "Brother, second brother is going to greet the guests. I want you to take me for a walk." The little girl gasped. He sniffed, his voice was waxy, and his eyes had a cunning light.

Li Wanning was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then took Li Yu's hand and walked towards the back hill of the western suburbs courtyard.

The western suburbs were originally an open space, but due to the continuous development by the Emperor over the years, it has turned into another royal garden, with flowers and green plants everywhere you can see.

Li Yu is wearing a pink skirt, a pair of light pink embroidered shoes at her feet, and a small straw bag slung across her shoulders, like a fairy wandering in the mountains and forests.She broke free from Li Wanning's big hand and ran forward briskly to catch the butterfly with a purple tail.

The sun just hit the top of her hair, shrouded in golden light. It was hard to explain why she looked so white and flawless and had a charm of her own.

Li Wanning couldn't help but become obsessed with it.

He smiled, "Don't fall."

Li Yu snorted and finally caught the purple butterfly, "Brother, look! Butterfly!"

Li Wanning also strode over and saw a purple butterfly covering the little girl's hand, kissing Li Yu's palm in an almost surrendering gesture.

"Like it? If you like it, big brother will ask you to catch a bunch of butterflies for you every day to play with Yu'er." Li Wanning said with a smile, standing next to Li Yu.

Li Yu shook her head, then opened her hand suddenly and released the beautiful butterfly. Her eyes gradually blurred as the butterfly fluttered its wings. She smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth, revealing some white teeth, "Brother, no need. Butterflies are creatures that like freedom, they don’t want to be imprisoned in jars, and we don’t want to be the one to break their wings.”

Li Wanning smiled and shook his head, "Okay, Yu'er has really grown up."

Li Yu hated it the most when Li Wanning continued to treat it like a child. As he spoke, he puffed up his cheeks, making him as cute as a little pufferfish. "Brother, you can't say I'm a child anymore. I'll be done with it after the Chinese New Year! I'm already two years old! You see, my second brother, who is the same age as me, is already engaged, and Yu'er has also reached the age of marriage."

Li Wanning has actually been running away from his true feelings for Li Yu.

Because the relationship between the two was so close, he watched with his own eyes how Li Yu gradually grew from an infant child to such a young girl.

Loving people is like growing flowers.

He protected Li Yu so well, but he couldn't imagine letting Li Yu marry someone else in the future.

Simply don't mention it.

He felt good having Li Yu by his side.

Already very satisfied.

I really can't think of anything else I could ask for.

He still didn't dare to ask for anything else.

Li Yu rushed.

She likes open and generous feelings, and it is so beautiful to be able to swear to everyone in the world, just like the love between her father and mother.

Because she has encountered so many beautiful things since she was a child, she has no interest in ordinary things.

And Li Wanning was her lifelong dream and the fetters of her youth.

Her mother once asked her if she wanted to go out for some experience and see the mountains and rivers outside. They would send someone to protect her so that she wouldn't have to worry about anything and just go out happily.

But every time, Li Yu firmly refused.

She doesn't want to, and she doesn't want to.

It’s too far outside, and it’s been years since I’ve been there.

Maybe the next time people come back, the people and things in Chang'an City have already changed.

Tears suddenly filled her eyes, "Brother, Yu'er actually likes you very much, that kind of thing."

But she never said the last half of the sentence. She really didn't know how to say it. Those words containing taboos had already erased the annual rings.

Li Wanning thought he had done something wrong. He saw her crying while he was still reflecting. He hurriedly took out a white handkerchief from his arms and gently wiped Li Yu's tears until she turned away.

Li Yu asked: "Brother, do you know why I have been reluctant to leave Chang'an City?"

Li Wanning was also curious, "Why?"

Li Yu got drunk and said bluntly: "Because of you."

Li Wanning frowned, "Why?"

Li Yu still turned his back and walked forward slowly, saying as he walked, "Well, because I like you. Very much, very much. Ever since I can remember, I seemed to have a little crush on you. When I reached adolescence, After I just learned from the story book what it feels like to like someone, I like you more than a little bit, I like you very, very much. However, I have never dared to tell you because you are my brother. Although We are not related by blood, but you have watched me grow up, and on the contrary, I have watched you gradually rise from a child to this top position. In fact, I wanted to tell you two years ago."

"But I was too young and you were too busy."

"Now that the time has come, I want to fight for myself one last time."

Take a deep breath.

Take a deep breath.

Li Yu forced herself to stand there and take three deep breaths. Then she mustered up the courage to turn her head and said, "Li Wanning, are you willing to be my husband? Will you only love me for the rest of your life? Just like your father and mother."

A large blank appeared on Li Wanning's face. He didn't even dare to dream of this scene. How could Li Yu dare?
The connection between morality and gentlemanness in his heart was suddenly broken. He took two steps forward and took her into his arms, whispering: "Yu'er, I like you too. When I was a child, I asked for marriage in panic but was rejected by my aunt. , later, when you grew up, I was worried that you would look down on me, so I always struggled to speak." He paused, feeling a large amount of wetness on his shoulders, and then asked in a low voice, his tone was almost like pleading, "Jade Son, do you dislike my elder brother’s age?”

Li Yu was almost laughed out of anger. The age difference between them was almost ten years, which was a huge distance between them.

Li Wanning sighed, "Well, I also know that it is difficult for a man to get a wife in his thirties."

Li Yu was shocked and said, "Ah, no, I like you very much, and you don't look like my eldest brother at all, just like my second brother. It's very suitable for us."

Only then did Li Wanning kiss the little girl's cheek with satisfaction, "Silly girl, you still don't understand. Aren't the older you get, the easier it is to be deceived?"

Li Yu was stunned and then said, "Yes, brother, am I stupid?"

Li Wanning touched her hair, "Yeah, silly."

Li Yu pouted, "Then I'll ignore you, hum!" She said and walked to the other side, but was hugged tightly by Li Wanning.Li Wanning gently stroked her back and said softly: "Yu'er, listen, the people in our family are very open-minded. As long as you like it, your father and brothers will support you."

Her voice was low, but it seemed to have magic power. Li Yu suddenly became quiet, leaned into her arms, and said in a low voice: "Then I want you to promise me that you will never grow old in this life."

Li Wanning was stunned.

She didn't know how to answer her, and Li Yu didn't need her answer, "Brother, I'm tired."

"Then brother will send you back to rest."

The two siblings returned to Li Yu's courtyard, and Li Wanning sent her into the room, "Go to bed early, Yu'er."

"Ah."
-
Princess House.

Li Yu responded and lay on the bed. She turned over several times but couldn't fall asleep. She always felt that everything was too sudden and even unbelievable.

The person she has liked for 19 years is actually her brother.

No one except herself and Li Wanning knew about this matter.

It was impossible for Li Wanning to tell anyone before.

Li Yu didn't dare and didn't know. She was afraid that she would lose Li Wanning one day.

She does like Li Wanning.

Li Wanning was a good person she had ever met. He was smart, wise, and smooth in his dealings with others. He was admirable in every aspect, especially in the court. Li Wanning was able to handle things with ease.

She once thought that such a big brother must be married to an equally powerful woman.

She was also filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred in her heart. She could even describe this special feeling with sadness.

They've never been honest with each other.

The only thing between them is the bond given by their mother.

But even so, she couldn't bear to let go, and couldn't bear to let go of the man she had loved for 19 years.

They never admitted their true love and admiration for each other, they just admired each other.

But she didn't want to let it go.

Regardless of whether the blood relationship between her and Li Wanning really existed, it couldn't stop her determination to be with him.

Now that she has chosen to pursue her own happiness, Li Wanning, the best candidate, cannot be missed.
-
Li Yu was woken up by a knock on the door.

He opened his hazy eyes and heard the maid outside saying: "Your Majesty."

What is he doing here?
Li Yu rubbed his sleepy face, got up and dressed neatly, opened the door, and saw a man in white sitting at the table, drinking tea with an indifferent expression.

She frowned slightly, "Why are you here? Have you eaten so early?"

Li Wanning raised his head and said, "Yu'er, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"

Li Yu shook his head, "I ate too much this morning."

Li Wanning seemed to sigh helplessly, "You are just playful."

Li Yu pursed her lips and smiled, "Yu'er still wants to sleep for a while. You can ask the cook to make whatever you want for dinner."

Li Wanning nodded, "Okay, you go to bed first."

Li Yu nodded and retreated. As soon as he closed the door, he heard the maid outside asked cautiously, "Your Highness, where will you rest tonight?"

Li Wanning thought for a while, "You go and clean up the Royal Courtyard first, I'll go there later."

The maid breathed a sigh of relief and immediately retreated to prepare.

Li Yu looked out the window, the sun was shining brightly.
-
Li Yu finished washing and put on a pink skirt.This Luo skirt was newly made. She tried it on for size and found that it was one size larger than the previous one. She secretly thought that she was very thin.

As soon as he walked out of the house, he met Li Wanning who came in with a tray.

Li Wanning's eyes touched Li Yu's pink clothes, and he couldn't help laughing. He stretched out his hand and flicked her head, "You girl, what kind of outfit is this?"

Li Yu said with a smile: "Don't you understand, this is called "Girls' feelings are always poetry", that's good."

Li Wanning hummed, then closed the door and whispered: "Yu'er, are you going to the Royal Courtyard with your brother tonight?"

Li Yu struggled to get up and gathered up his half-taken clothes, "Brother, we are not married yet!"

Li Wanning chuckled, "Come on, we will get married soon."

"You...what do you mean by that?" Li Yu's eyes widened, "You, you can't..."

Although she was not completely awake yet, she could vaguely guess something.

Li Wanning should have had a showdown with his father and mother last night, so he came to the princess mansion early this morning.

Li Wanning took her hand and said, "Yu'er, I like you, so I want to be with you."

Li Yu's heart suddenly started beating wildly, thumping, thumping, very fast.

"Brother, brother...you, you mean, you want to marry me?"

Li Wanning smiled and nodded, "Yes, what kind of marriage? You marry me, my brother wants to marry you."

Li Yu's eyes heated up, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Then I want to marry my brother, and you must marry me immediately!"

Li Wanning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, you can say whatever you want, as long as you are happy."

Li Yu threw herself into her arms and hugged her waist, "Brother, I want to marry you. I want to marry you, is it okay?"

Li Wanning patted her on the back, "Yes, of course. Brother will always love you."

Li Yu's tears rolled down her face, "Brother, Yu'er is so happy."

Li Wanning also had a faint smile on his face.

Li Yu lay in her arms and sobbed, "You finally said you like me too, I, I'm so happy. Brother, I'm really glad that I like you. I want to be with you, I want to Marry you. Brother, I miss you so much."

The tip of Li Wanning's nose was sore, and he sniffed, "I miss you too."

The two brothers and sisters have been dependent on each other for so long. Now that Li Yu has finally grown up, she is also happy.
-
one year later.

Wedding banquet.

Bronze drums filled the streets, and the entire city of Chang'an was almost dotted with red silk.

People on both sides of the street paid their respects to the approaching wedding car.

Someone said: "Hey, have you heard? Today is the emperor's happy day, and it is also the day when King Yu marries his concubine. Looking at this posture, it will really make the entire Ming Dynasty red cloth."

"Shut up, shut up, go to work in the capital! Today is the wedding of the emperor and the empress, as well as the wedding of King Yu and his concubine. How can you discuss it at will!"

The guards are maintaining order and constantly chasing people away to ensure that the red carpet is clean.

There are two handsome men on the tall horse, one behind the other. The one at the head is wearing a red wedding dress with a golden dragon pattern embroidered on his chest. He also has a golden dragon crown on his head. He is extremely handsome. The one behind him is high-spirited and is also wearing a big suit Wearing red wedding clothes, they kept smiling at the people on both sides of the street.

This is Li Wanning and Li Mu.

The two agreed to get married at the same time.

Everyone thinks there is no problem.

Perhaps thousands of years later, this will be the most splendid chapter in history.

Time flies, years pass.

In the blink of an eye, Changle's children had grown up and found their own happiness.She couldn't stop crying while sitting on the phoenix car. She couldn't tell whether it was sadness or happiness.

Xie Zhao hugged her and kissed her softly, and all the warm tears were wiped away by him.

"Chu Chu, thank you for giving me a home." (End of chapter)
