Chapter 175 I recognize my husband as my elder brother (extra)
Liu Muyao returned to her body on a bright afternoon. She woke up from the lounge chair in the courtyard and smoothed the fallen petals on her body. The pear tree in the yard was full of flowers, just like the peach tree she had in the yard of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Just then, Gu Chengyuan walked in and called out softly, "Ah Yao, look what I brought back for you."
Liu Muyao looked at Gu Chengyuan who was walking towards her with a bag of plums. She was a little dazed for a moment and couldn't tell whether this was her past life or this life.
She seemed to remember her previous life, when Gu Chengyuan would bring her her favorite plums every time he came back. At that time, she had not yet married Gu Chengyuan. He really cared for her as if he were his sister. She was asking for too much.
"Ah Yao, what's wrong with you? Why are you so stunned? I just happened to pass by your favorite plum fruit shop today, so I brought it to you specially. But your Princess Mansion is really remote, you must have so much free time, hahaha."
Liu Muyao still has the memories that Si Ying left her in this life. At this moment, she came back to her senses, took the plum fruit with a smile, and took one. It still had the familiar taste, sour, sweet and a little astringent.
In her previous life, when she first entered the capital, she felt a little nauseous due to the bumpy ride. Gu Chengyuan bought her a bag of plums when he passed by the plum shop. The plums were sweet and sour with a little bitterness. From then on, she liked the taste of the plums.
Liu Muyao knew that Gu Chengyuan came to see her specially. Recently, the emperor implemented the first decree after the unification of Dayu Kingdom. As an important minister, Gu Chengyuan was very busy and it was rare for him to find time to come and see her.
"Brother, you should also take care of your health. The emperor is still young anyway, you can just let him figure things out on his own. There's no need to run around and work so hard that you might damage your health."
"Hahaha, okay, A'yao, since you've said that, I'll listen to you. When the time comes and His Majesty blames me, I'll say it was his sister who gave me the idea, hahaha." Gu Chengyuan laughed and picked up a plum fruit to taste it. The sour taste filled his mouth and his pretty eyebrows slightly frowned. "This fruit is only liked by you girls. I can't get used to it. I won't have the pleasure of eating it."
"Hahaha, so this bag can only be bought by me." Liu Muyao joked like a little girl, which was rare.
The brother and sister talked for a while, and Gu Chengyuan left because he had official business to attend to.
After he left, the corners of Liu Muyao's smiling mouth slowly relaxed.
She picked up another plum and ate it silently.
It is indeed sour and bitter, and no longer has the sweetness in my memory.
She silently placed the remaining plums on the table beside her and lay back on the recliner with her hands behind her back.
She didn't expect that in this life she could actually get along peacefully with Gu Chengyuan like a brother and sister. It's great.
She once thought that they could only be jealous of each other when they met, or simply never have any contact with each other again, but she didn't expect that now, they both came back from their previous lives, they could get along naturally like family members.
Thanks to that adult, she had this wonderful life in this world, which allowed her not only to take revenge, but also to find her relatives and her life experience.
She will definitely live a good life. The Liu Muyao, whom she hated in her previous life, is dead. In this life, she is the eldest princess of Dayu Kingdom, and she has to take the responsibility of making the people of Dayu live and work in peace and contentment.
Soon, the ministers in the court discovered that the eldest princess, who had not been involved in state affairs since the establishment of Dayu, was finally willing to come out again.
Emperor Dayu was extremely happy. He had been extremely busy during this period after the unification of the Three Kingdoms. He ate large amounts of wolfberries and ginseng every day, fearing that he would die young without leaving any offspring.
It is so difficult to be the ruler of the world. Sometimes he wishes he could just give up like his sister.
But he can't!
That group of ministers would let the imperial sister go, but they would not let him go. There were endless court affairs to deal with every day. Now that the imperial sister finally found her conscience and was willing to come back to help him, the emperor was so moved that he almost cried.
Then he naturally assigned a bunch of tasks to Liu Muyao. He thought that the other party would definitely look disgusted, and he was ready to lose face. But his royal sister, who was always afraid of trouble, was particularly good-tempered today. Not only did she take over those trivial matters, but she also took the initiative to care about him and let him have a good rest.
The emperor said he was very panicked and was flattered by his sister's sudden concern.
Then he ran away quickly, fearing that his sister, who had already behaved uncharacteristically today, would change her mind again.
At this moment, he was moved inwardly, fortunately he had studied martial arts well with the master who taught him, otherwise he would not have been able to escape so quickly.
Liu Muyao looked at the emperor who was running away, chuckled and shook her head. He was almost twenty years old, but he was still so childish.
……
Apart from the emperor, the most powerful people in the capital are General Gu and the eldest princess, a pair of siblings. They devoted almost their entire lives to the unification of the Three Kingdoms and the well-being of the people of the Three Kingdoms.
But the most regrettable thing is that such a prominent figure never got married in his life.
General Gu never married in his life, and the eldest princess also never married.
Some people even suspected that the two siblings, who were not related by blood, loved each other and were reluctant to get married. There were also rumors that they had been engaged when they were young.
But soon, everyone dismissed this idea, because they really got along like ordinary siblings. There was no ambiguity between them, only the care and protection of family members.
Gu Chengyuan and Liu Muyao, whose hair has now turned white, went together to pay tribute to the deceased Duke Zhenguo.
Afterwards, the two went to pay homage to Uncle Ming, whose ashes had already been taken back by Si Ying and resettled in the capital.
After that, the two of them naturally strolled together on the streets of the capital, looking at the now prosperous and bustling streets, with people coming and going, and happy smiles on their faces.
The two men smiled at each other. They had agreed that they would make the people of Dayu live a prosperous life, and now they have done it.
In recent years, they often secretly inspected various places in Dayu on behalf of the emperor. The lives of the people in various parts of Dayu have become much better than before. Nowadays, there are almost no refugees in Dayu, and the people have no worries about food and clothing and live a rich life.
Local governments also followed the laws and regulations promulgated by the emperor's edict, and provided various forms of financial, food, or other livelihood assistance to poor people.
The number of Dayu Kingdoms will only grow, and those old ministers will retire from the government, hand over to young knowledgeable people, and return home to enjoy their retirement.
After Liu Muyao passed away, Gu Chengyuan sat silently in front of her tombstone and took out a bag of plums from his arms. "In fact, I have always known that you and I are the same. It is God who gave us a chance to start over. Thank you, Yao, thank you for forgiving me in my previous life."
I also hope that we can still be brother and sister in the next life. Then I will do my best to protect you and not let you get hurt.
