Li Ye took a breath, as if drinking strong wine, raised his hand and drank the already warm tea in the cup, while two lines of tears quietly slipped from the corners of his eyes.
“It’s not God’s will that manipulates people, it’s selfishness.
The blame is that the child was young and had a weak will, and could not always believe in your good intentions for the child.
If the child could always firmly believe in your feelings for the child, uncle, how could he be in this situation today?
I only sigh that at the time of great enlightenment, it is already overflowing and it is difficult to recover."
Liu Mingzhi drank the tea in the cup with a heavy face, and sighed as he looked at Li Ye, who was staring at the fields of Yanliu Village in a daze.
"If you were given another chance, would you still choose this way?"
"Children today will definitely not do it. Children three years ago will definitely repeat the same old path.
Everyone knows the truth, but there are still many detours to avoid.
Only after hitting the south wall yourself and breaking your head and bleeding will you wake up.
People always have to experience pain before they understand what the true truth is.
Therefore, although the child feels unwilling, he does not resent his uncle.
Let alone daydream about regaining the throne and restoring the Li family.
Back then, with the full support of capable ministers and generals in the dynasty and the desperate assistance of elite soldiers and horses at the border, the boy was not his uncle's enemy. What's more, now the boy is just a mountain villager!
It is important for a person to be self-aware. Although it is commendable to be brave to shake a tree, it is still overestimating one's own capabilities.
The result will not change because of the little beetle's commendable courage. Instead, it will end up with a bloody head because of its commendable courage.
If the child can survive, he will be satisfied.
I don’t want to involve my child’s relatives and friends in blood and death because of my overestimating actions, and end up with the tragic end of a family being ruined.
Besides——”
Liu Mingzhi looked at Li Ye curiously and asked, "Besides, what?"
Li Ye put the tea cup on the stone mill aside, stretched out his hand to signal, and walked slowly and slowly out of the courtyard.
After a pause, Li Ye stopped in front of Liu Mingzhi with a small smile, holding a seedling in his hand, and stuffed the seedling into Liu Mingzhi's hand.
"Besides, my uncle is indeed more suitable to be an emperor than a child.
I still remember that when the children first arrived three years ago, there was nothing more than an overgrown wasteland outside the courtyard. Three years later, it has now turned into dozens of acres of fertile farmland.
The child doesn't know what his uncle was like when he was in the Qinzheng Hall in the capital, whether he was diligent and caring for the people, and whether he cared about the people of the world.
However, when a leaf falls, you know the world is autumn, and when you peek through a tube, you can only see a speck.
Just from the small transformation of dozens of acres of wasteland into fertile farmland before his eyes, the child knew that his uncle must be a good emperor who was deeply loved by the people.
Although these great achievements were not made by the child himself, the child is still proud of it.
Because the child knows in his heart that you used to treat him as half a son.
Therefore, even if the child knows about the unethical things that happened between you and your mother, he has never resented you at all.
Because the child understands in his heart that although the matter between you will bring shame on the face of the child's father, it will be a blessing in misfortune for the mother.
Rather than staying alone in a deep palace compound until old age, being able to have someone by your side to accompany you for the rest of your life and grow old together is the best outcome for a woman in a deep palace.
The child didn't want his mother to be like the grandmother in Fu'an Palace and the great aunts in Zongren Mansion, who could only die sadly.
For a living person with feelings, such a day is worse than death.
In fact, when the child first learned about what happened between you, he was confused and hesitant, but later he suddenly figured it out after seeing the lonely figure of his mother in the deep palace courtyard.
One is the father who has disappeared into thin air, and the other is the mother who is living with the child. The child is definitely more inclined to make the mother, a relative who is still alive, live a happier life.
Therefore, regarding matters between the two of you, mother and queen, the child has never had any resentment towards you.
Of course, the main thing is that the child does not hate his uncle. Otherwise, if it had been someone other than his uncle, the child would have long since let the man who dared to touch his mother's innocence disappear from the world.
Sister Lian Niang is very cute and well-behaved.
Although she was still very young at that time, the children were still deeply impressed by her.
If possible, next time my uncle and mother come back, I hope you can bring little sisters Zhiyao and Lianniang with you so that I can enjoy the fun of family reunion."
Feeling Li Ye's expectant gaze, Liu Mingzhi did not refuse, but he did not directly agree. Instead, he pondered thoughtfully for a while and then nodded slightly: "Uncle, do your best."
"Then let me thank my uncle first."
"No need to thank you so early. My uncle didn't promise you anything for sure. He just said he would do his best. Whether it will succeed or not is a matter of course, so don't put too much hope in it."
"The child naturally knows this. The child wants to ask his uncle for something."
"Let's talk about it first!"
Li Ye turned his head and glanced in the direction of the main room in the courtyard. He saw his mother, Chen Jie, poking her head from time to time to secretly look at his father and son, and his eyes couldn't help but soften.
"The child's mother was a hard-working woman. After marrying the emperor, she and Aunt He Shu fought first for the position of the concubine, and then for the position of the queen. Unfortunately, they fought for half a lifetime but failed to get what they wanted.
It's fine that he didn't get what he wanted, but his father died young, and his mother and Aunt He Shu became widows at a young age.
And now, although you are not called husband and wife, you have already become husband and wife, and you have a daughter, a little sister, a child.
I don’t ask my uncle to give my mother a legitimate identity, but I ask my uncle to treat my mother well and let her enjoy the rest of her life, and then I will be satisfied.”
Liu Mingzhi looked at Li Ye's Zhengran appearance and couldn't help but laugh.
"You brat, you don't have to worry about my uncle and your mother. My uncle will treat her well.
On the other hand, you are not young anymore and it is time for you to get married.
Last time, your uncle arranged for Miss Ren Qingrui to be sent to you. How do you feel about it?
Or have you met the girl you like in Yanliu Village?"
When Li Ye heard Ren Qingrui's name, his eyes subconsciously showed a look of excitement, and then gradually dimmed, revealing indescribable sadness and sorrow.
"It's okay. Although they look exactly the same, as if they were copied from the same mold, the child knows very well that she is not her.
The child once tried to think of her as her, but after getting along for a long time, the child understood.
She is not her after all.
Therefore, after getting along for several months, when she asked to leave, although the child wanted to stay, he finally let her leave.
The main reason why I let her leave is because she is not her. Otherwise, even if I try my best to keep her with me, I will never let her leave me again.
In this case, letting her leave is the best result.
The child knew in her heart that even if she could keep her, her heart would not be here.
Moreover, the child does not want to find someone to replace the Rui'er in the child's mind.
Her appearance is like a dream to the child, but since it is a dream, he will wake up eventually, right?
Although the child didn't know who Rui'er was lying in the imperial mausoleum, the child knew that besides her, there was no room for anyone else in his heart, so he was content.
In the next life, the child will never let go again.
Hey, let’s not talk about these past events.
You and your mother arrived at my child's place early in the morning. You probably haven't had breakfast yet, right?
My child caught a lot of fish today. You and your mother will definitely try my handiwork later.
please!"
Liu Mingzhi originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Li Ye's relieved look, he nodded silently and followed Li Ye towards the courtyard.
