Chapter 453 Why are you crying?
That day, the army won again. Mo Shen, with his long black hair tied up, rode his horse and galloped at the front of the army. He and Uncle Chen were talking about something, and they were both laughing happily.
She could have gotten closer to Mo Shen when she greeted her father, taking the opportunity to sneak a peek at him.
But she looked at the plain blue gauze dress with scattered flowers on it and wondered if it was too plain and whether she should change into the light red dress.
At this time, her younger brother found her. He was still wearing armor and his face and body were covered in blood. She was shocked.
"Don't be afraid, elder sister. This is all the enemy's blood. I am not hurt at all."
My brother laughed happily, and his armor crackled when he clapped his big hands.
"Brother Mo asked me to lead a team to cut off the enemy's retreat from behind. This time the enemy was completely wiped out, and we can have peace for a while."
"Uncle Chen said that I had made a great contribution, and asked me to drink a few more bowls of celebratory wine at the celebration banquet tonight."
Seeing the excitement on her brother's face, she felt happy too, as if she had eaten honey.
My younger brother has always wanted to achieve something great, but my father always says that he is still young and needs more training.
My younger brother often feels frustrated and downtrodden because he doesn't get his father's approval.
This time, my younger brother finally proved himself to his father.
It was Mo Shen who made all this happen.
At that moment, her heart could not calm down for a long time.
In the end, she did not change her dress. She was not good-looking, so there was no point in using skirt and hairpins to make herself look like a pretty lady.
At the celebratory dinner, Mo Shen wore a dark blue riding suit with narrow sleeves. His not very long black hair was tied up with a hollow carved gold crown, and he wore a string of agarwood beads on his hand, attracting the attention of everyone present, both men and women.
Uncle Chen even joked that if Mo Shen was not of the same generation as him, he would definitely capture Mo Shen and make him his son-in-law.
At that moment, she saw panic on Mo Shen's face for the first time.
Why doesn't Mo Shen want to marry Uncle Chen's beautiful daughter?
She thought about it for a long time, and in the end she could only guess that maybe Mo Shen already had a lover, and that was why he returned to secular life.
She still remembered that because of this guess, she drank a lot of wine that night. Her father kept looking at her with dissatisfaction, but she pretended not to see it.
My younger brother also drank a lot of wine that night. Even though his face was flushed, he kept toasting Mo Shen and ignored his father's angry gaze.
After the banquet, she left the crowd and went to the riverside to relax alone, but in the end she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Why are you crying?"
She didn't know how long she cried, but suddenly a low and somewhat unclear voice sounded from behind her.
She froze and didn't dare look back.
It was Mo Shen. She remembered his voice and smelled a strong smell of alcohol.
Mo Shen must have drunk too much, so he came to the riverside for a walk to sober up, but he never expected to meet her.
"The world is beautiful, don't do stupid things."
She was stunned. Did Mo Shen think she was going to jump into the river?
Seeing that she didn't respond, but didn't continue crying, Mo Shen left after leaving a few words.
"No matter what the reason is, you came to the riverside alone at night, crying loudly without hesitation, unwilling to show weakness in front of others. The girl is a person with a strong and bright personality. She will definitely live a better and better life in the future. Don't do anything stupid."
Hearing this, she felt as if she was suddenly pushed into a burning fire, and her whole body was roasted. In an instant, she felt unprecedented warmth, burning and... pain.
Her eyes couldn't help but follow Mo Shen. Her usually upright posture now became shaky. She couldn't help but feel secretly delighted at seeing a different Mo Shen.
But when she thought that there might be someone in Mo Shen's heart who would make him return to the secular world willingly, her heart became torn with pain again.
Finally, she couldn't help but ask.
"Mr. Mo, you don't want to marry Miss Chen, is it because you already have someone you love?"
Mo Shen paused. He didn't look back at her, but was silent for a while, as if he was carefully thinking about how to answer her question.
Then she heard him say—
"I don't have a crush on anyone, and I won't have one in the future."
After saying that, he waved his hands, and the string of agarwood beads suddenly broke and rolled to the ground, but he left without a care.
For some reason, she believed that what Mo Shen said... was the truth.
At that moment, she felt like a stranded fish, returning to the river and being reborn.
She gasped for breath, and with tears in her eyes she watched the banished immortal-like figure walking further and further away, but she felt her heart getting closer and closer to him.
From that night on, she had the courage to have a normal relationship with Mo Shen.
She also read, and when she had questions, she would ask Mo Shen for advice when he was in the camp.
In order to avoid unnecessary rumors, she took her younger brother with her at the first few times.
My brother likes Mo Shen very much and is happy to accompany her.
It was just because of the “peers” that Uncle Chen mentioned that night that he no longer called Mo Shen “Brother Mo”.
She understood something in her heart, but still stubbornly went to find Mo Shen.
Many times, when he was "eager to seek advice", he would forget to bring his younger brother along, but Mo Shen didn't mind.
Because in the camp, the men fought, transported food, and built fortifications, while the women washed clothes, cooked, and took care of the wounded, and there was no strict separation between men and women.
But that day, the agarwood beads in her hand were not hidden well and were seen by Mo Shen.
From then on, whenever she went to look for Mo Shen, he was always "just" not there.
Not long after, she married Uncle Chen's eldest son in accordance with her father's wishes, and became the Crown Princess, Queen, Queen Mother, and Grand Empress Dowager.
Since the founding of the Daliang Dynasty and Mo Shen left the capital, she has never seen him again.
After waiting day after day, she realized that what Mo Shen said that night when he was drunk was true.
He has no one he loves, and in the future... he won't have anyone -
What's more, she is just plain-looking!
Even though she had everything she wanted later on, she was in a high position and had tremendous power, but she could never get what she wanted the most in the beginning.
……
The corners of the Empress Dowager's eyes became moist again, and as the tears rolled across the bloodstains on her face, she suddenly spat out another mouthful of blood.
This time, she didn't have time to dodge, and the fine drops of blood all spilled onto the painting, smearing Mo Shen's handsome face.
The Empress Dowager tried frantically to wipe the blood off the portrait, but the more she wiped, the dirtier it became.
Just as she liked Mo Shen, but in the end she drifted further and further away from him.
At this moment, she really wanted to find a place where no one was and cry loudly like she did that night.
But now, she seems to have lost this ability.
As the Grand Empress Dowager, she possesses supreme power in Daliang. Every future emperor of Daliang will be her descendant, with her noble blood flowing in their bodies.
She is destined to be recorded in history and become a figure praised through the ages.
As time passes, her name will forever be engraved in the long river of history, shining brightly.
Why is she crying?
