Chapter 311 Extra Chapter 4: Living Together

"Ah Ling, come quick, this peach tree is the prettiest."

In the garden, Shi Nuanyu ran among the flowers with a smile as bright as a flower, then rolled up her sleeves and playfully tried to climb a peach tree.

"Ah Ling, come here."

Hua Lingyan flew forward and hugged her waist, then affectionately kissed the tip of her ear.

"You're tired from last night, don't climb trees."

As he spoke, he climbed the tree and carefully picked peach blossoms. One by one, the bright red peach blossoms fell from the sky and landed accurately in the basket in Shi Nuanyu's hand.

"Ah Ling, that one on the branch is the prettiest, I want that one."

“That fool has become a notorious womanizer. Poisonous woman, don’t protect him tonight. It’s not fair to me.”

Before you see the person, you hear their voice. Before you even try to fly, they leap into the air and create a shower of petals, scattering delicate blossoms and covering the grass with a layer of dew.

He stopped at the top of the peach branch and took the petal from Shi Nuanyu's head.

Shi Nuanyu chuckled and pinched his cheeks.

"It's been three years, and you still can't stand each other?"

He hadn't tried to steal a kiss, but instead, he landed a kiss on her head. A petal transformed into a sharp blade and attacked him.

He quickly dodged to the side, "Even after thirty years, I still can't stand it, you poisonous woman, you little fool, you're going to beat up your husband."

Petals fell to the ground, and Hua Lingyan broke off a flower branch and attacked.

"That's exactly what I'm going to do."

"You silly boy, you can't hold a grudge just because I stole your time to sleep with you. Didn't I return it all?"

The two chased each other through the flower grove, neither willing to give in.

Shi Nuanyu watched with amusement, but couldn't help complaining, "They haven't changed at all. If two huskies were together, the roof would be blown off."

"Nuan Nuan, come and have some snacks."

A gentle voice sounded from behind. Qinghe had set out the meal on the stone table and casually brushed away the flower petals on it.

"Here you are!" Shi Nuanyu ran over happily, picked up the pastries and was about to eat them when the man beside her stopped her. He took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands.

"Weren't you supposed to be reviewing memorials today? Why did you arrive so quickly?"

After wiping her hands, Qinghe personally picked up a piece of pastry and fed it to her.

"The Regent lost the bet yesterday, and today it is his turn to review the memorials."

Shi Nuanyu took a big bite and nodded knowingly, "Changfeng lost to you in chess again, didn't he? These past three years, he's been playing chess with you every time he comes back from the war, and his chess skills have gotten worse year by year."

“My chess skills are no less than those of the Imperial Advisor,” Yu Changfeng said as he slowly walked into the garden, a faint smile playing on his narrow eyes. He leaned closer and took a bite of the pastry in her hand.

"I've gone to great lengths to spend more time with Nuannuan."

If it weren't for the fact that he wasn't on his night of service after every battle, he wouldn't have lost every time.

Shi Nuanyu picked up the pastry and fed it to him, then looked at the man next to her with a smile.

"You just let his scheme succeed?"

Qinghe readily admitted it and took a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.

"I am both the Imperial Advisor and the Empress Consort, so I have the magnanimity to do this much."

He wasn't a petty person who couldn't tolerate the existence of others.

After finishing his snacks, Yu Changfeng sat down on the stone bench with an air of superiority. "As the Crown Prince's consort, I may be petty, but next time, give me all the days you'll spend serving him in bed."

Qinghe pulled Shi Nuanyu to sit down and poured her a cup of tea.

"The Regent is not quite right in the head."

"Whose brain isn't working properly?"

Tao Huiyan took over the conversation, her black hair fluttering as she held the folding fan.

"Hahaha, the Regent has finally admitted that his brain is not working properly. He miscalculated by one tael of silver the other day and stayed up most of the night."

Behind him was Shan Baiyu, who looked on with amusement. He found a seat and sat down.

"It's quite lively today; everyone's here."

Tao Huiyan leaned against the rock, laughing and joking.

"The annual family gathering is a must-attend event; anyone who is late will be fined three hundred taels of silver."

In the distance, faint sounds of discussion could be heard, with someone shouting as they responded to the challenge.

"You unscrupulous merchant, when are you going to transfer the money to me?"

The martial arts alliance is short of money everywhere, and its situation has not improved in three years.

Tao Huiyan responded loudly, "You can pay with the days you spent serving the emperor." "You cunning merchant," Wei Zengshi cursed, "I won't agree."

Noticing that one person was missing, Shi Nuanyu looked around and asked a question.

"Oh, isn't Fusheng coming?"

Dan Baiyu savored the freshly brewed tea. "He doesn't like crowds, so naturally he won't come."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fusheng, holding a medical book, slowly walked over and, just like before, found a quiet spot to sit down.

"Here we are," Shi Nuanyu said cheerfully as she ran over and pounced on his back. "Fusheng, how many days has it been since you went to the palace? Has there been any new progress in the experiment?"

Fusheng put away his medical book and affectionately rubbed his cheek against hers.

"It will take a few more days; the efficacy of this new batch of medicinal herbs is unstable."

He couldn't sleep at night until he extracted the medicine from this batch.

Shi Nuanyu poked his cheek, "Workaholic, your dark circles are getting more and more obvious. Aren't you afraid that one day you'll really turn into a panda?"

The crowd chatted amongst themselves; some were fighting, some were arguing, and some were simply watching the show.

The treasure, hidden in the corner of the rock, recorded the whole scene, intending to keep it as a memento in her old age.

Ah Rao, who was squatting to the side, was all smiles. She had fulfilled her long-held wish of opening a martial arts school, and she was among the invited guests at today's family banquet.

Her gaze fell upon the group of people who had arrived, and she respectfully bowed.

"Baby, we're here."

A familiar voice came from behind her. Shi Nuanyu got up from Fusheng's back and ran over excitedly to hug the person.

"Auntie, Uncle, Mother, Father, you've finally come! I thought you weren't coming."

She couldn't help but complain, "You're always late for family gatherings, and you won't stay in the palace even though we offer you. Don't you want to leave Nuannuan behind?"

The other seven people stood up and bowed to them in greeting.

They, who were once broken apart, now have a father, a mother, an aunt, and an uncle, and from then on they have elders to rely on.

"Honey, our baby's ability to turn the tables on us has improved."

Ding Lan smiled and nodded, holding the baby who was less than a month old in her arms.

Shi Zheng chimed in, "My daughter has grown up and has her own little thoughts now."

His wife's words are law; if he dares to say a word against it, he'll have to sleep in the study tonight.

Shi Nuanyu left her aunt's embrace and then saw the child in her mother's arms. She went over and poked the child's little face.

"Mother, who is she?" A questioning gaze fell upon the four of them. "A daughter born to you in your old age?"

I didn't see any of them have a baby last month!
Shi Shuishui laughed until tears streamed down her face, "Silly baby, take a good look at who she is."

Shi Nuanyu stared at it in confusion, "Her eyebrows and eyes seem..."

The long-buried memories were stirred up again, and she remembered the person who followed behind her and called her "sister".

Seeing her aunt nod, she trembled as she hugged the little one.

"Silly baby, she'll regain her memories when she's eighteen, so she won't have to be secretly sad anymore."

Shi Nuanyu held back her tears and stubbornly retorted.

"I'm not secretly sad. You're late, so you have to punish yourselves with three drinks. Hurry up and sit down."

A dozen or so people sat around the stone table, raising their wine glasses and shouting.

"Let the feast begin!"

Shi Nuanyu looked happily at her lover, family, friends, and her sister whom she had lost and found again.

Over the past three years, everyone has changed. A-Ling has become more mature and no longer calls her "sister." She often goes to the Feather Dragon Guard's camp for training. A-Shi is still shuttling between the Martial Alliance and the Imperial Palace. Qing-He has established a hospital and become its director, often spending all his time in the laboratory without ever leaving.

The Ministry of Revenue was intended to give Ayan a position, but he refused, spending his free time traveling around doing business; Ayu loved leading troops into battle, sometimes for months at a time, his dream was to conquer the battlefield.

Changfeng would also lead troops into battle, and each time he returned, he would ask for a reward.

Qinghe and she handled state affairs in the court. Sometimes, the affairs would fall to Changfeng. They took turns handling the affairs, so neither of them would be exhausted.

Treasure became an outstanding student at the academy, and in her spare time she would travel far and wide to see different scenery.

The martial arts school founded by A Rao helps those in need.

As for her aunt and uncle, they accompanied her for half a year at the beginning. After that, the four of them often went out together, and naturally, they started seeing each other once a year.

Shi Nuanyu couldn't hide the smile in her eyes as she drank the party wine with everyone.

so good!
Everyone was there, and her life was happy and fulfilling.
