Shun Anyan looked serious. When Tong Guowei saw how nervous he was, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "As the prince-in-law in the future, your responsibility is to make the princess happy. Our prince-in-law in the Qing Dynasty does not live for nothing, so the emperor gave you the apple of his eye.
The future is naturally limitless. But everything depends on whether you can take good care of the princess. You must understand the way of husband and wife with her, the way of king and minister. Grandpa can teach you how to be an errand, but he cannot teach you how to get along with husband and wife. If you can't take care of the princess.
There is no point in coaxing happiness with the emperor, no matter how talented you are. I also told you earlier that if you marry the princess, you will not be able to enjoy the same blessings as other uncles and brothers. From now on, you can only guard the princess wholeheartedly.
"
Maybe Shun Anyan, who is ten or twenty years older, would be shaken by these words, but now he is young, energetic and full of affection. In his eyes, only the princess is the treasure in the world, and other women are not attractive, so why would he do it for Qi Renzhi?
Fu Ran gave up his marriage to the princess. At this moment, he kept all his grandfather's teachings in his heart and solemnly swore that he would never let down the emperor's kindness and his grandfather's upbringing.
After Shun Anyan rushed back to Wuying Hall to be on duty, outside the imperial city gate, the governor of Liangjiang was paying an audience. The emperor came out. Many colleagues were waiting there to congratulate him on his practice. When Shun Anyan met him, he also greeted him, but because of someone
He shouted to his face like a joke, but he couldn't keep it off his face and left in a hurry. After all, the emperor had not officially issued the imperial edict, so he had to be steady and low-key.
At this time, in the Palace of Qianqing, Eunuch Liang had already ordered his subordinates. No matter who came except the Queen Mother, the emperor would not see him again. There was no need for palaces to come to express gratitude for the Laba gift. Eunuch Liang did not notice that Empress Dowager De was displeased.
It's just that the emperor has been working really hard recently, so it would be nice to let him rest for half a day, but he doesn't know that the empress has a knot in her mind, and the emperor also has something on his mind. Now that the two of them meet, they may not really be able to take a good rest.
Let's say that Xuan Ye met Zhang Penghie and talked to him about the river governance. He became immersed in it for a while. After the emperor and his ministers left, he suddenly remembered that Lan Qi was still waiting for him in Nuange. His heart sank and he sat at the table blankly for a long time.
, then got up and walked outside. He didn't wear any clothes to protect himself from the cold, and he was so cold as soon as he went out. Eunuch Liang anxiously brought a cloak to put on the emperor's shoulders. Xuan Ye pushed it away and asked, "What are you doing, empress?"
Mr. Liang said: "Your Majesty won't let you disturb me, and the servants don't dare to go in and take a look. You and Huan Chun are in the house, and they will be able to serve you well."
Xuan Ye came all the way to Nuan Pavilion. The cotton curtain in front of the door was half opened when he heard someone say: "The wind is blowing in. Go and see if the emperor has dispersed." He stepped inside and saw Huan Chun coming out, bumping into each other on both sides.
The emperor signaled her to go out quietly. When he walked further in, he saw Lan Qi sitting cross-legged in front of the kang table. There was a chess game on the table. She was holding the chess record in one hand and the white jade chess pieces in the other. She looked at the chess board and the chess record, like
Leisurely and contented. This made Xuan Ye a little surprised. The aura around Lan Qi just now did not make him expect to see such a scene.
Lan Qi turned her head inadvertently, but instead of seeing Huan Chun, she saw that Xuan Ye had already arrived and did not even get up. She smiled warmly: "I can't solve this chess game."
Xuan Ye walked up to her, looked at the chess record twice, and said impatiently: "I've told you about this game twice, why don't you remember it?"
Lan Qi turned over the chess record and said in disbelief: "When did the emperor tell you, why don't I remember?" Seeing Xuan Ye's face grimacing, she vaguely remembered what happened before. Sure enough, she had said it before, and the last time Xuan Ye said
After he had said it, he asked the same question himself, and couldn't help but laugh naively: "The chess records are all similar, I can't remember them."
Xuan Ye sat next to her. He was not as impatient as before. He held her hand and took the chess pieces, and patiently explained each step. However, he was not paying attention to what he was saying. Lan Qi was not listening attentively, and just watched intently.
On Xuan Ye's side face, time and dust have left traces on his face. He no longer looks as fair and tender as when he was young. Now that he thinks about it, the emperor back then was really childish. Now he is more and more charming, but she herself is also
Old.
Thinking of herself getting old, and thinking of the fine lines at the corners of her eyes that she saw in the mirror in the morning, Lan Qi stepped back unconsciously, fearing that Xuan Ye would see her clearly if she got too close, but she forgot that the emperor was holding her hand while playing chess.
, this move seemed to be a struggle to avoid, which made Xuan Ye withdraw from the absent-minded explanation, looked at Lan Qi deeply, deliberately squeezed her hand a little harder, and asked: "Do you still want to learn?
Already?"
Lan Qi shook her head: "I have no idea."
"What's wrong?"
She smiled sweetly: "I just want to look at you. When we were far apart, I didn't miss you so much, but when I was close to you, I felt that I missed you deeply. Your Majesty, my concubine, does this sound pretentious?"
Xuan Ye nodded, let go of her hand and pulled her whole body into his arms. His big hands gently slid down her arms from her shoulders and neck, stroking her gently and repeatedly. He thought he was going to be quiet like this, but the emperor suddenly asked:
"Are you worried?"
"I just think that I am like everyone else. I am afraid that I will grow old. I am afraid that after forty years old, I will never be able to cuddle up and be gentle with you like this again." I thought I couldn't say it, but it was like his warm chest.
, all worries were left behind, she was at ease physically and mentally without any scruples, she whispered slowly, "Lan Ying said that her way of becoming a husband is to keep Aling'a tightly tied to her side. She still has
When I'm young, I'm very cute when I act coquettishly and foolishly, but when I'm old, Nian Tong can write with this hand, so if you ask me to imitate her and cheat with you, I really can't do it."
Xuan Ye's chin gently rubbed her bun. Lan Qi still had rich black hair. He smiled and said: "I haven't had gray hair yet, how did you get old? Earlier, someone was so proud and said
No matter how old she gets, she will always be younger than me."
They put aside their dignity and dignity, as if they were just talking between husband and wife. Lan Qi didn't know what she was thinking, as if this was the last time she would put down her identity as an imperial concubine in front of the emperor, and just wanted to say what she wanted to say.
.
"It was only when I was young that I had the energy to say things like that. Ignoring the passing of time, I thought my youth would last forever. Looking back now, I realize how reckless and superficial I was." Lan Qi smiled softly, and with a flicker of her eyes, she said, "Young
Sometimes I can't see others in your arms, but I can still be jealous and act coquettishly by relying on my youth and beauty. Now even if I have the intention to do so, even if you allow me to do so, I can't say it out loud. People must have self-awareness, but just think of themselves.
It’s so clear…”
The room suddenly fell silent. Xuan Ye was fascinated by what he heard. He was startled and asked the person in his arms: "What's wrong?"
Lan Qi sat up slowly, looked at her man affectionately, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that when I become a white-haired old woman, I will still have the same heart and temper, and it will make me feel troublesome over and over again."
Xuan Ye smiled: "In the final analysis, you are angry because I met all of them on the road."
Lan Qi shook her head, but asked: "The emperor said that there is nothing we can't talk about between us. I would like to ask you a few words, please?"
Xuan Ye nodded and scolded her: "You have always been suspicious."
"I would like to ask the emperor, what do you think of Min Changzai?" Lan Qi asked, feeling relaxed. Although her eyes showed timidity, she stared closely at Xuan Ye's eyes. She thought she would see
Xuan Ye looked embarrassed, but the person in front of him only showed a strange look and asked her, "Why did you suddenly mention Min Chang Zai?"
Lan Qi was slightly embarrassed, pursed her lips and said, "Does the Emperor like her?"
Xuan Ye shook his head: "I just think she is a reassuring person to serve around me. I was good to her in the past because I didn't want anything to happen to her in Yikun Palace. You feel guilty because of this. Now it's just...
, a person who is always by my side."
Lan Qidan asked: "Is the emperor telling the truth?"
Xuan Ye smiled: "Why are you not telling the truth? I have never hidden my affection for the imperial concubine from you, you can see it." After saying this, he felt strange and couldn't help but ask, "I thought you were jealous because of what happened on the road, or maybe you were jealous.
I can't tolerate those young people, so why only Ti Minchang is here?" He even recalled it carefully and said to Lan Qi ambiguously, "I only met her a few times and didn't do those things."
Lan Qi's cheeks turned red and she said hurriedly, "I know this."
"You know?"
"Liu Guan's daughter is pregnant, so of course I have to check it out. It's a pity that the child can't be saved."
Xuan Ye didn't care about the child at all, but for some reason he became happy. He followed Lan Qi's eyes narrowly and asked, "Have you checked someone else's?"
"Shun, I took a look by the way." Lan Qi saw herself in Xuan Ye's eyes. Although Xuan Ye's face was soaked with traces of time, his eyes were as hot and affectionate as they were more than ten years ago. He looked at his own
Her gaze never changed, but she was still worried about gains and losses, just like Xiao Changzai back then.
Nowadays, my daughter is in love with Shun Anyan, and is heartbroken; and Chen Changzai is in love with the emperor, and is almost lovesick. They should have such enthusiasm in their teenage years, so who do you think they are? Forty years old
Right before her eyes, she has not made any progress in her bones. She still regards herself as a young girl in her twenties, coveting Xuan Ye's regard for her, and being domineering and unwilling to make any room in his heart for others.
But Xuan Ye understood Lan Qi's thoughts, and felt relaxed both physically and mentally. He had been holding her in a somewhat wary manner just now, but now he turned around, used Lan Qi's belly as a pillow, and lay down lazily.
Said: "You scared me, thinking that something big happened. I must stay calm from now on. What big thing could happen to you? If something big happens, you will become more frustrated and courageous. You will only torture me with these inexplicable little things."
."
Lan Qi gently touched his cheek and said unconvinced: "The small things in the eyes of the emperor are the big things in my heart. Without you, I have nothing."
Xuan Ye glanced sideways at her, turned around and closed his eyes to take a nap, but said: "How can I let you have nothing? I will take care of everything for you, even in the future..."
Xuan Ye wanted to say, "Even if I have to die before you in the future, I will take care of you in advance," but he didn't say it out loud.
Seeing that he was approaching the age of destiny, his awe for life and nostalgia for the world became deeper and deeper. Rather than being attached to the throne, it was better to say that he had people and things that were more worthy of his cherishment. He thought he would spend his time as an "emperor"
Life, this is no longer the case now.
Then I heard Lan Qi ask in a voice like a mosquito: "Why do you meet everyone on the road?"
