Flowers Bloom from Battlefield - 407 Epilogue 1

Mountain Kingdom

It has been a few years since Nanglong Souka lived in this remote mountain. At first, he loved to bother his old friend whenever he got the chance because they lived close to each other, but the time has come to an end a long time ago. The time for his best friend to stay in this world has come to an end, but that old man left with a smile on his face. At least, he was already satisfied with the life he has had so far.

Now, all he could do was bother his daughter-in-law when she came to visit him or bother Jun Qing when he was not lazy.

Today, his daughter-in-law came to visit him again.

“Shie’er, didn’t I tell you before to not bring anything?” Nanglong Souka looked towards the items she brought with a helpless smile.

Qin Shie smiled, “I want to visit the little prince after this, so I brought some things for them.”

“You’re already not young,” Nanglong Souka shook his head. “You should just rest in the capital. You don’t have to come here too often anymore.”

“I will stay in the capital for a long time after this,” Qin Shie smiled wryly, “But before that, I have to make sure you don’t die out of sadness.”

“I won’t die out of sadness! Who would be sad over that shameless old man passing?” Nanglong Souka complained profusely.

Qin Shie just smiled for she understood that her father didn’t want to admit it, “Let’s eat first, Father. You have to take care of your body.”

“Alright, this old bone understands,” he nodded his head before thinking about something, “When you go to Mountain Kingdom to visit the young prince, let me come over. I want to bother that little boy again.”

Qin Shie looked towards her father-in-law speechlessly. There was simply no way this old man can change, isn’t it?

“Fine, but you have to eat first.”

“Alright, alright, I understand.”

…

Jun Qing heard the news about Qin Shie visiting Nanglong Souka with a wry smile. He knew that Qin Shie cared a lot about Nanglong Souka, but that old man didn’t really need someone to accompany him.

“Jun Qing, do you still have a lot of work to do?”

The sound of a woman made a smile appeared on Jun Qing’s face. He was very familiar with this voice because he had heard it almost every single day. Right now, the person he wanted to meet the most was none other than his woman.

“Kuina, you look very pretty today,” Jun Qing smiled tenderly.

Wu Kuina smiled brightly, her cheek was red because of Jun Qing’s praise. “You’re really sweet-lipped. Why are you teasing me the very first thing in the morning?”

“That’s because you look very exceptional today,” Jun Qing chuckled. He stood up from his seat and walked to the woman in front of him. “What’s the occasion?”

“Don’t tell me you forget that today is Jun Ming’s third birthday!”

Jun Qing laughed when he saw Wu Kuina got angry at him. He pulled the woman into his embrace. “There’s no way I’ll forget our son’s birthday. I already prepare the best party for him.”

“That’s good,” Wu Kuina smiled happily.

Seeing how his wife seemed to be very happy, Jun Qing really wanted to tease this woman even more. Unfortunately, a servant came to inform him about the task that he had to finish. The court hadn’t started because he wasn’t there yet.

“They can’t wait longer, can they?” Jun Qing asked remorsefully.

Wu Kuina shook her head. “You’re different with me that always have different ways to evade the work as the successor in the past. Come on, I’m sure that there are a lot of important matters that you have to do.”

“There are a lot of them,” Jun Qing rubbed his forehead. Because he has been staying here for a few years, he came to learn a lot of things from this kingdom, such as the fact that the mountains on the East were still foreign for them. Aside from that, there was also the thing that the culture had started to be made similar all over the kingdom from the education that Ming Yan had enforced.

The most important matter for the Mountain Kingdom was always regarding food. Because of the terrain, only several types of vegetables could grow in this place. Because of that, the number of variety was quite limited. He had to rely on the other part of the Long Kingdom to support the increasing need of his people.

“You can do it,” Wu Kuina patted her husband’s shoulder to give encouragement.

“I know. I’ll be back soon.”

Walking towards the hall, Jun Qing noticed that the ministers were beaming. He was pretty sure that there should be a piece of good news for them. As his gaze swept across the hall, he noticed a young man was standing at the very middle.

Jun Qing noticed that the young man was none other than the farmer that Jun Hua brought to this kingdom years ago. His lips curled up into a smile. That little niece of him truly have a good eyes for people.

This court would surely bring good news for them.

After the eventful court, it was the time for the birthday party of Jun Ming. Hitting the age of three years old, the young boy had started to exude the charm as a young prince. Born with a good appearance and disposition, his presence alone gave people the feeling that this young boy was not ordinary.

Wu Kuina watched worriedly as several ministers approached the young boy and tried to talk with him. Jun Ming had started to learn how to talk, but his speech was still rather incoherent. Still, she would never feel bored to watch her son grew up.

“Prince Jun Qing, do you perhaps jealous of your own son?” a playful voice teased the prince.

Jun Qing quickly turned around and saw General Tou, the general who has been accompanying Wu Kuina for a long time in the past, stood there. He was certainly very surprised because from what he knew, General Tou was still faring on the battlefield not long ago.

“General Tou, what a pleasant surprise to see you here!”

General Tou laughed. “I have been working hard to come here in time so that I can see Princess Kuina’s son’s birthday party.”

“How’s the matter of the other rebels?”

“There’s no need to worry. The East area is completely safe now. Although we still have to deploy soldiers around the entire area to make sure that there are no other rebels, the overall situation is not that bad,” General Tou chuckled.

Jun Qing nodded his head in understanding. “Now that you have returned, do you mind helping out in the palace once more?”

“It’ll be my pleasure, Prince Jun Qing.”

“Let me take you to meet my son. He’s already very smart at such a young age.”

“Gen –Prince, I think that you have inherited too many of your father’s gene.”

“What are you talking about? It’s just 10% at most.”

The two of them continued to banter with one another as they made their way towards the middle of the hall. Seeing them, Wu Kuina also smiled happily.
