Morbid pet

Chapter 311 Ten Years Later

Wan Ning picked up some deer, rabbits and the like. When she saw that there were no wolves around, she put down her worries.

"Mom, what are you looking for?" Li Yu reminded.

Wan Ning pointed to the pheasant at his feet, "Look for the pheasant."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pheasant flew over.

Li Yu hurriedly chased after him, and Li Mu shouted: "Be careful, don't step on it."

Li Yu replied while running: "Oh~~ I know, dad."

"Ouch."

Chang Le and Wan Ning both looked at Li Mu. Li Mu spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know what was going on.

Chang Le looked at them doubtfully, but Li Yu looked at Li Mu with a smile, as if he understood.

Wan Ning smiled and shook his head.

"Second brother, I caught it." Li Yu held up the pheasant in his hand and handed it to Li Mu like a treasure, and then said, "I also caught the wild rabbit!"

"It's awesome!" Li Mu praised, and then handed the pheasant to Changle, "Queen, I've given this pheasant to you. You can roast it and eat it."

"Okay." Changle smiled and took the pheasant, "Xiao Yu'er, please help collect firewood."

"Well, I'm going to collect firewood." After Li Yu finished speaking, he jumped away and ran away.

Changle washed the pheasant and roasted it on the fire. She looked around and saw that there was no one else except her and Li Mu.

Changle turned to look at Wan Ning and asked, "A Ning, what are you looking for?"

Wan Ning smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm looking for a bamboo pole."

Changle handed the bamboo pole to her, "Is this long enough?"

"That's enough, thank you, aunt." Ban Ning said.

Chang Le was sitting on a big rock, with his legs dangling in the air, swinging back and forth, looking in a good mood.

The years seemed to have stopped at this moment, and the melancholy, pain, and scars of the past were slowly shattered in the memory, and gradually reassembled to appear in this small home.

Xie Zhao cherishes him extremely and feels that this life is enough. He is willing to die now, but the only person who cannot worry about him is his family.

His black eyelashes trembled slightly, he caressed Chang Le's cheek and whispered: "Chu Chu, thank you."

Changle came back to his senses and asked doubtfully: "Thank me for what?"

Xie Zhao smiled relievedly and did not continue talking.

Chang Le hesitated for a moment and pulled the person aside. Wan Ning must have taken good care of the safety of her younger siblings, so she didn't have to worry. She pulled Xie Zhao and walked deeper into the woods.

Xijiao Villa is the best here.

Its terrain is in a valley, surrounded by mountains on all sides, as well as the large plains we just came over, where you can go horse racing, and the weather is very comfortable, but the only drawback is that it is too desolate, and it is easy to get lost if you are not very familiar with the mountain roads.

Xie Zhao had no intention of eating barbecue with his children. He always wanted to stay alone with Chang Le for a while. Just for a while, his mood would become extremely good.

The two of them walked along the winding and rugged mountain road to the highest peak, where there was a temple. Behind the temple was a lake with crystal clear bottom and pleasant scenery.

Xie Zhao held Chang Le's hand, and the two stood by the lake, admiring the beautiful scenery in front of them.

"What are you looking at?" Xie Zhao turned his head and found Changle staring at a tree in a daze.

Changle said: "I was thinking about what that tree looked like when my father took my brother and me to Mount Huashan."

She paused, "Maybe it no longer exists."

Xie Zhao was stunned for a moment, then touched Chang Le's head, "Yes, we will go back and take a look when we have the opportunity."

Chang Le nodded, "Yes."

The two chatted for a long time before Chang Le reluctantly followed Xie Zhao back because it was getting dark and there were wild beasts in the woods at night, making it very unsafe.
-
After roasting some game on the mountain to fill the children's stomachs, the troops walked back. Changle had already let out her big words. If she didn't cook in the evening and show off her skills, there would be no room for her face.

But as soon as he entered the kitchen, he was persuaded to leave by Ban Ning and Xie Zhao.

She is really not suitable for cooking.

Both Wan Ning and Xie Zhao were poisoned by Chang Le's craftsmanship, and they didn't want the current children to have a deep psychological shadow.

But they didn't say it clearly.

Changle had no choice but to give up.

Wan Ning was busy in the kitchen preparing tonight's meal, while Li Yu sat in the yard, reading a book leisurely.

Changle walked out of the house. She held an ancient book and flipped through it casually, "Xiaoyu, what are you doing?"

Li Yu raised her head and said, "Mother, are you reading?"

The little nanny is very well-behaved. She calls her "Mother" outside, and "Mother" or "Mother" when no one else is around. Anyway, she does whatever she can to get close to her, and she often makes Chang Le smile happily.

Changle nodded but couldn't laugh anymore. The child was growing up day by day, but she was getting older day by day. She sat at the table, poured a cup of tea to drink, and suddenly sighed: "Alas..."

"Oh what, mother?" Li Yu asked in confusion.

Changle said: "It's nothing, I just suddenly felt that life flies by so fast and we are all old."

Li Yu tilted her head and said, "Mom, you are not old. You are only in your 30s. How are you old?"

Mother laughed loudly and patted Li Yu on the shoulder, "Yu'er, you really know how to talk!"

She looked outside the courtyard gate and saw Wan Ning and Xie Zhao walking in this direction. Their steps were light and their eyebrows were smiling.

Chang Le suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart, as if his son had just grown up.

"Ahem." She coughed slightly, pretending to be serious, and then said, "I'll go to the kitchen to prepare food first."

Li Yu looked at her hurried away figure and couldn't help but curled his lips and muttered: "Mom is so weird."

Chang Le came out of the kitchen with a plate of cut fruits and saw Li Yu holding Xie Zhao's sword, sitting on the stone bench, nibbling apples with relish.

Changle looked at him and said, "Li Yu, come here and help me light the fire."

Li Yu immediately threw away the apple, ran over in a hurry, squatted next to her mother, and responded obediently: "Yes, mother."

Xie Zhao looked at them, smiled, and said, "I'm going to see what delicious food Ban Ning made." After Xie Zhao left, Li Mucai looked at Li Yu and said, "I heard from my mother that you were I got injured while practicing.”

Li Yu lowered his eyes, not daring to look directly at Li Mu, and said weakly: "I just fell down accidentally."

"Why did you accidentally fall?" Li Mu raised his eyebrows and asked.

Li Yu lowered his head and hesitated for a long time before saying: "I...I accidentally stepped on the air."

"Oh, it turns out that I accidentally stepped on the air. Why are you so careless? If it broke, I would feel so bad!" Li Mu sighed. Although the two were born on the same day, Li Mu is the older brother. , so he has been protecting his sister since he was a child, and he talks like a little old man, without meaning.

Li Yu smiled: "Brother, it's really okay. Don't worry about me. Isn't it enough for us to bump into each other together?"

Li Mu brought the fruit bowl to the stone table, then pointed at the strawberries in the fruit bowl and said, "Try it, these were picked by Ban Ning."

Li Yu reached out and pinched a strawberry and stuffed it into his mouth. The sour and irritating feeling filled his entire mouth. He frowned, but couldn't help but swallow it and said, "This strawberry is so sweet!"

"Is it sweet? Let me try it." Li Mu said, picking up a strawberry and putting it into his mouth, chewing it, "Well, it is indeed quite sweet. Your mother's craftsmanship is getting better and better. This time Fruit is sweeter than ever.”

After hearing this, Li Yu quickly snatched the remaining fruit from Li Mu's hand and said, "Since it's sweet, I'll eat more."

"Hey, don't grab it. Leave some for me. I'm not full yet!"

Ten years later.

Ban Ning successfully succeeded Xie Zhao's throne. The foundation of the Ming Dynasty has been laid very solidly. The rest of the unification of the six countries is a matter for the younger generations.

Xie Zhao became the Supreme Emperor early and planned to take Chang Le out to travel around the world after the Chungui exam.

Ban Ning is also very up to date. He has done a lot for Ming Dynasty in the past ten years, otherwise Xie Zhao and Chang Le would not be able to relax and give this position to him.

And Li Yu has grown into the most proud little phoenix in Chang'an City. Arrogance is written on her face with bright eyes and white teeth. She is naturally very good-looking. She is almost a replica of Chang Le when she was a princess, and even more beautiful than Chang Le. The difference is that this girl's appearance is combined with Xie Zhao's coolness, her face is cold and pure, but when she opens her mouth, she is bluffing, and she can easily catch her.

On the Hall of Tai Chi.

Li Yu rushed in with a red leather whip, a flaming red gauze covering her exquisite figure. Just one glance made her astonished, especially because her voice was so nice, combined with her beautiful face. The charming face that can harm the six countries can make people's skin crawl when they hear it, "Brother, I want to file a complaint! Why is the son of the old man from Shangshufang so arrogant? Did he come to my princess's house again to propose marriage? I beat him Go out, but he said he would come to you to complain, so I just came to complain first!"

"Humph." Li Yu was still panting.

Bang Ning is 26 years old this year.

The harem was empty, and so was the position of the emperor and empress.

Countless people want to marry their daughters to him.

But after ten years of trying, no one has succeeded.

Everyone is wondering whether Ban Ning likes men. This kind of thing is actually a lot in the Ming Dynasty. There are also many Nanfeng pavilions outside, and the soft rabbits in them are the ones most favored by countless powerful people in Chang'an City.

The morning court had just ended, and there was no one in the Taiji Hall. Only Ban Ning was here to handle government affairs.

Hearing his sister's words, he raised his eyes. His cold phoenix eyes were extremely beautiful, and his thin lips were even more outstanding. Because he spent very little time outside after becoming an emperor, and due to genetics, his skin was cold white. , cyan blood vessels can also be seen in the sun.

Don't know why.

Li Yu, who has become immune to good-looking people, suddenly felt her throat roll. Her beautiful eyes were slightly stunned. She opened her cherry mouth a little and said, "Brother Wan Ning, is Yu'er bothering you?"

Wan Ning put down the brush in his hand and chuckled. He stood up and walked off the stage towards Li Yu. He stopped in front of the girl very restrainedly and asked softly: "Yu'er, come with me to the Royal Garden for a walk." What?"

Li Yu originally wanted to refuse, but the little sisters outside the palace were still waiting for her to go shopping at Zhenbao Pavilion with her.

But the words of rejection were stuck in her mouth and she couldn't spit them out. She just nodded and said yes, and her soul was taken away by Li Wanning who was walking in front.

Li Wanning was not her biological eldest brother. She knew it from the beginning. Although Changle never said it, everyone knew about Wanning's birth.

He is an orphan.

Later my sister died.

Elegy died eight years ago because of the war in Saibei and the wrong person was killed.

In other words, the city was captured and massacred.

After that, Wan Ning seemed to be a different person. He was immersed in work. His personality was originally dull, and it became even more dull after his sister died. He was unwilling to give in. Why are there so many dark parts in the world?

Li Yudu stayed by his side silently.

Ban Ning turned around suddenly, a rare smile flashed across her fair and stern face, reaching her eyes, "Yu'er, if you don't like people coming to your door to directly propose marriage to you, then I will issue an order that no one will dare to come to you again from now on. You proposed marriage, but the consequence is that the husband you like can find a way to come to you to propose marriage, are you willing?"

Li Yu didn't know why, but there was a chill behind her. She was only 16 or less than 17 years old. She had been spoiled by her family since she was a child. She didn't understand or want to understand the things of adults, so she never had any feelings about marriage and love.

She thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, let's do it. Thank you, brother."

A trace of regret flashed through Ban Ning's dark eyes, which was soon replaced by a smile. After more than ten years, he had already accepted that he was Li Yu's eldest brother, not anyone else. He watched the little girl grow up day by day. Even though he was older, he also had a sense of involvement, and even unconsciously brought himself into her natal family, and would feel uncomfortable hearing that she was getting married.
But no matter how much love you have, you can't tell them apart.

Are you sorry?

There are still some.

Wan Ning not to marry and have children is a strong guarantee for Xie Zhao and Chang Le. The future heirs can only be chosen by the children of Li Mu and Li Yu.

He decided to be alone for the rest of his life.

It doesn't matter.

Li Yu suddenly asked: "Brother, why do I think you are unhappy during this time?"

Wan Ning raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Why do you say that?"

Li Yu plucked the little red butterfly on his chest and whispered: "You don't look happy. I feel like you are very unhappy after becoming the emperor. You are gloomy all day long, and it is rare to show a smile on your face. , just smile, I remember you used to like to laugh, especially when you were around your mother."

Wan Ning's memories were instantly brought up.

He laughed naturally, "Well, after becoming the emperor, I have pressure and burden, and I am even more worried about the future, so it is difficult to laugh happily. But, it doesn't matter. Come and see me more, brother. Happy."

Li Yu laughed happily. The little girl's smile was very beautiful. When she laughed, the two little pear dimples seemed to have wine in them, making people indulge in them unconsciously and unable to get out.Li Yu naturally took Wan Ning's arm, put her head on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't be stressed, you can do it well, my father has said it, brother, you will be fine." , I have pity on my second brother. He refused to join politics to death, so he had to be assigned by his mother to take over the family business. Recently, he went to Jiangnan to learn how to manage business territory. I heard that he was quite interested in this, so I simply ignored him. "

Xie Zhao's final style of raising children was forced to change with Chang Le.

The two children have grown up to this point. It is not to say that they are ignorant and incompetent, but at least they are not the type of good students and children that can be conventionally recognized.

It’s just about following your own will and having maximum happiness and freedom.
