Chapter 198 -198: Lucky Star Farmland Keeps Calm, Heirless Husband Busy Chasing Wife – End

“Today, is our third wedding night with flower candles.”

Fu Huaichu touched her hand and held it tightly in his palm, his tone filled with anticipation, “After nearly four years, you and I have finally become true husband and wife, Ruanruan, I am so happy.”

“Since when have there been three wedding nights with flower candles?” Su Zhiruan turned her head curiously to look at him, “When did an extra one come about?”

“The cave,” Fu Huaichu said with a smile as he moved closer to her, whispering into her ear, “Do you need me to help you recall?”

As soon as he mentioned the cave, Su Zhiruan immediately understood what he meant.

That day in the cave, Fu Huaichu indeed brought it up, and afterward, they also…

“…Who else among couples has had three wedding nights with flower candles, Your Highness is truly extraordinary,” Su Zhiruan feigned admiration with a nod, provoking Fu Huaichu to give her palm a hard pinch.

It didn’t hurt, but it was very ticklish.

Su Zhiruan compromised, in the end deciding to speak less. With today’s atmosphere, the more she said, the more mistakes she’d make; if it ended up with her being unable to attend tomorrow’s flower-viewing banquet and embarrass herself in front of the noble ladies, that would be really awkward.

Speaking of which, they soon arrived at the Eastern Palace.

Everything inside was already arranged.

They drank the wedding wine and lit the Dragon and Phoenix Candles.

The long night stretched out, curtains fell, both beautiful and heart-fluttering.

The next day.

The flower-viewing banquet was held as scheduled.

Now the Crown Princess Consort, Su Zhiruan first went to Kunning Palace to find the Empress, accompanying her to the Imperial Garden for the flower-viewing.

The Empress patted Su Zhiruan’s hand, her mouth wide with joy; now, she finally had someone she could talk to, naturally her smile reached her eyes.

“This daughter pays her respects to the Empress, pays her respects to the Crown Princess Consort—” The noble ladies lined up in two rows, all paying their respects in unison.

“All of you may rise.” The Empress sat down and let Su Zhiruan sit beside her, then she turned to ask the Chief Court Lady, “Where is the Third Prince?”

“Lady, the Third Prince said he wanted to invite a few friends to join the flower-viewing banquet, he should currently be somewhere with the young General,” the Chief Court Lady reported with bowed head.

Just as she finished speaking, the Third Prince and the eldest son of the National Guardian General’s family walked in from not far away.

“Mother, sister-in-law,” said Fu Huaizhong, he looked tired as though he had not slept all night.

“This one pays her respects to the Empress, pays respects to Crown Princess Consort,” the young General greeted the Empress and Su Zhiruan.

“Stand up,” said the Empress, relieved to finally see the Third Prince come out, her brows that had been tightly furrowed began to ease, “There is no need for formality at today’s flower-viewing banquet, young people should talk more.”

“Yes—” said the noble ladies in unison.

However, just then, the Empress noticed the young General gazing at Su Zhiruan for an extended period without looking away.

The Third Prince at his side, Fu Huaizhong, nervously tugged at his sleeve, “General!”

“Forgive me, my Ladies,” the young General kept looking intently at Su Zhiruan, his eyes flashing with numerous emotions, “Upon seeing the Crown Princess Consort, I feel she greatly resembles my mother.”

“Oh?” The Empress raised her brow in surprise.

The expressions of the noble ladies around them changed as well, everyone glancing at each other in confusion.

“If I may be bold, may I ask about the Crown Princess Consort’s parents and her family history?” the young General asked, giving another bow.

Su Zhiruan’s gaze involuntarily glanced down at her sleeve-covered arm, and the guess she had before now seemed likely to come true, “I am without father or mother, raised on charity from many households, and fortunate to have been cared for by the people of the village. What are your thoughts on this, General?”

The young General’s pupils trembled as if conveying something, and he finally turned his gaze to the Empress, saying with utmost respect, “Your Majesty, as you know, my family lost my sister more than a decade ago, and there is a birthmark on her arm. Until this day, my parents are still searching for her.”

“I am aware,” nodded the Empress.

At that moment, she looked at Su Zhiruan and then at the young General, her heart roughly guessing the truth.

“This subject dares to make a request,” the young General knelt down, “May I ask if the Crown Princess Consort has a red birthmark on the inside of her arm?”

By this time, the Third Prince was completely dumbfounded, and the noble ladies had their mouths agape, their decorum completely forgotten.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Su Zhiruan paused before rolling up her sleeve, “Yes.”

The Empress looked over and saw that there indeed was a red Liuyun birthmark on the inner arm. Memories flooded back to her, and even her voice became excited, “A red Liuyun birthmark, Ruanruan! Are you truly the lost daughter of the General Residence?!”

The young General seemed a bit dizzy, but he couldn’t suppress his overwhelming joy at this moment.

He had to go back and tell his father immediately!

“Crown Princess Consort, you are… the legitimate daughter of the National Guardian General, and I am your brother—” he said, tears filling his eyes.

Everyone present was shocked; the noble ladies had thought it was just a flower-viewing banquet, yet they never expected Su Zhiruan to be the long-lost daughter of the National Guardian General’s family!

The rumors that the Crown Princess Consort was of peasant origin were shattered by this revelation.

In the end,

This matchmaking session for the Third Prince Fu Huaizhong turned into a grand family reunion for the National Guardian General.

He himself was resistant to the idea, but at that point, no one was paying attention to him.

When Fu Huaichu, busy with state affairs, returned to the Eastern Palace, he serendipitously saw the drunken Fu Huaizhong.

He stopped in his tracks and stood there thinking.

It seemed that a simple flower-viewing banquet had driven Fu Huaizhong to such despondency; indeed, finding a beloved through a matchmaking event was difficult.

Luckily, he already had a wife and children, not like this lonely man, forced to drown his sorrows in wine.

With these thoughts, Fu Huaichu couldn’t wait to return to see his beloved Crown Princess Consort and quickened his pace.

Su Zhiruan found time to visit the family of the National Guardian General, and after confirming age, birthmarks, and appearance, the stout-hearted family of the General erupted into enormous cries; they had never expected to see their daughter again, and now she was the Crown Princess Consort. They hadn’t been able to provide her with a dowry or support her as her natal family should.

The more they thought about it, the more aggrieved they felt. Upon meeting Zhezhi, who looked exactly like Su Zhiruan, also known as Princess Zhaoyang, they decided to make up for it and spoil her to death!

The Emperor and Empress wanted nothing more than to care for their grandchildren. Seeing the way Fu Huaichu managed state affairs assured them, they were confident in handing over the dynasty to them and later abdicated to wander around and look after the grandchildren, while competing with the National Guardian General for the affection of Princess Zhaoyang. Every day was incredibly fun.

Fu Huaichu and Su Zhiruan became the new Emperor and Empress, a fact that neither the courtiers nor the citizens disputed.

Su Zhiruan’s days as Empress were fairly ordinary.

The harem contained no other concubines besides her. Lacking interest, Su Zhiruan picked up her previous business ventures. Her business acumen remained cutting-edge in this world, so she made a substantial fortune once again.

Fu Huaichu wanted to be with her every day, clinging to her.

Their children witnessed their parents’ love for each other and grew up with strong values.

Decades later, as Fu Huaichu and Su Zhiruan’s children grew up and became capable of independence, Fu Huaichu began delegating authority, allowing them to go out and gain experience.

Later, he abdicated and, accompanied by Su Zhiruan, went on pleasure tours, enjoying life to the fullest.

The children were intelligent and achieved great things. As their parents grew old, they were very filial, staying by their bedside to administer medicine and water, never outsourcing to others. This became one of the stories of filial piety for future generations.

A hundred years later, Su Zhiruan passed away first, and Fu Huaichu soon followed. Until the very end, a contented smile graced their lips.

A pair of mandarin ducks can die, what is there to lament—they do not envy immortals, but only envied these lovebirds.

Latter annals recorded this story.

The Emperor and his consort shared a love profound, together for life, a united pair.

Causing countless envy in posterity.
