"Tao Ying, silly woman.
Dear Ying'er, my husband is here to see you."
Outside the Broken Dragon Stone that accompanies the mausoleum.
Young Master Liu was half sitting on the ground, muttering softly to himself while placing the exquisite wine and food in the food box on the ground one by one.
After he put all the food and wine on the table, he took out a plum blossom from his arms with a faint smile.
This plum blossom branch was broken off from home and brought here specially for the deceased beauty.
Liu Mingzhi gently placed the plum branch against the Broken Dragon Stone, lifted the jug next to him and filled two glasses of wine.
"Tao Ying, my husband originally wanted to bring you your favorite cherry blossom.
However, you also know that now is not the season for cherry blossoms to bloom.
There was no other way, so the husband could only break a plum blossom from home to replace it.
You may not be happy because of this, after all, this is your husband’s intention.”
Liu Mingzhi reached out and poured a glass of wine on the ground, then picked up another glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
"Silly woman, don't be dissatisfied. The only places where you can see plum blossoms blooming in November are at our house and the palace.
You can’t even see other places if you want to!”
Liu Mingzhi picked up the wine bottle and refilled two glasses of wine, then pulled a roast duck leg from the tray and placed it on the silk cloth spread on the ground.
"In the past, Tao Ying, your favorite was to eat the fresh roast duck from the Wu's old shop on the corner of your street.
It's a pity that Old Man Wu also left at the end of the year you left.
However, when I went to buy roast duck for my husband today, I knew as soon as I smelled the roast duck that their roast duck was as authentic as ever.
I believe that you will be very satisfied after eating it.
My husband has already put the duck legs for you, try it quickly, it won’t taste good when it’s cold.”
As Liu Mingzhi spoke, he picked up the wine glass again and poured it on the ground.
"Don't choke, just have a drink and go.
Come, my husband will have a drink with you."
Liu Mingzhi gently put down his wine glass, filled the pot with two more glasses of wine, and silently took out the tobacco pouch from his waist.
Soon.
Young Master Liu puffed out a puff of smoke with a lonely expression, staring blankly at the thick Dragon Broken Stone in front of him.
"Tao Ying, my husband came here today. In addition to coming to see you, I also have a big happy event to tell you.
Our family is happy to have a new baby again, a pair of twins!
Two little guys, not to mention how cute they are.
Tell me, why were you so stupid back then?
Otherwise, you can accompany your husband and hug our grandchildren.
It’s a pity that it’s too late to say anything now.”
Liu Mingzhi sighed with a low expression, silently picked up his wine glass and put it towards his mouth.
"Tao Ying, Tao Ying, once you leave, everything will be over.
No need to worry about anything, no need to ask anything, just rest peacefully.
Not to mention how easy it is.
But, I am tired of being a husband!
Living as a husband every day is very tiring!
There are some things that I want to say to others, but I don’t know how to say them.
After much deliberation, I can only come to you to talk to you.
Tao Ying, do you know?
My husband is now fighting for the position of prince..."
Liu Mingzhi sat alone outside Broken Dragon Stone, pouring himself a drink.
Talking to himself and behind the Broken Dragon Stone, the man who could never answer himself gently confided the difficulties in his heart.
As for what he said, only he himself knows best.
No, there is another person who knows it just as well.
Unfortunately, she could never answer anything, let alone solve his problems.
…………
Time flows and passes quietly.
Before I knew it, it was already seven days later.
The inner courtyard of Liu Mansion.
Qi Yun, the third princess, the queen and the other sisters led Mrs. Liu into the courtyard outside the study, talking and laughing.
Qi Yun sorted out the stack of rice paper in her hand and knocked on the door a few times with a slight smile.
"Who is it?"
"Husband, I am my sister."
"come in."
"Why."
Qi Yun gently opened the door and gestured to Mrs. Liu with a sweet smile.
"Mother, please."
"Together, let's be together."
When Young Master Liu saw Mrs. Liu walking into the study, he immediately put down the documents and ink pens in his hands, stood up and was about to greet Mrs. Liu.
"Mother, why are you here?"
Mrs. Liu saw this and waved her hand quickly.
"Zhi'er, just keep sitting. There's no need to get up."
"Okay, mother, you can sit down too."
"Okay, okay."
"Yun'er, Yan'er, Rongrong, please take your seats too."
"Yes, thank you husband."
"Sister Ya, please pour some tea."
"Hey, I know it."
Qi Yun walked to Young Master Liu and stopped, then handed over a stack of rice paper in her hand with a smile on her face.
"Husband, this is the guest list drawn up by my sisters. Please take a look at it first.
If there are any missing guests, my sisters will immediately add them."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly and took the stack of rice paper from Qi Yun's hand with a faint smile.
"Yun'er, please sit down too, I'll take a look at it now."
"OK."
Qi Yun responded with a sweet tone, and sat directly on the chair next to Young Master Liu with a dignified manner.
Liu Mingzhi casually crossed his legs, holding the list in his hand and looking at it one by one.
Before he finished reading the names on the first piece of rice paper, Liu Mingzhi turned around and looked at Qi Yun.
"Yun'er."
