Chapter 315 You Stay Tonight

The moon shines through the west window, the wind lifts the gauze curtains, and in the room, a four-cornered palace lantern depicting Chang'e flying to the moon casts a white light.

The wind blew, and the candlelight swayed slightly, and the light and shadow swayed slightly, and pieces of light fell on the ground.

Moonlight pours down from the windowsill, and the moonlight and frost flow quietly.

She sat in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror quietly, not knowing how long she had been sitting there.

Yan Xingchuan was worried and walked a little faster. The sound of his wooden clogs fell on the ground one by one, getting closer and closer. The hem of his clothes brushed against the threshold, sweeping away some dust.

Perhaps because the room was a little quiet, he subconsciously slowed down his pace, walked slowly forward, walked behind her, and then saw the two people in the mirror.

Cui Si looked at the person in the mirror and suddenly smiled.

"What are you looking at?" He felt happy when he saw her smile.

"Look at me, and you." She replied, then turned to look at him. "You were really pretty when you were young."

Although she is not afraid of aging with the passage of time, everyone, regardless of gender, cares about their own beauty or ugliness.

Yan Xingchuan also looked at himself when he heard this. He hadn't looked in the mirror for a long time. He didn't really care whether he was in his early twenties or nearly forty.

But she in the mirror really looks very young. She has not experienced the vicissitudes of life, nor has she developed a cold and indifferent attitude in those troubled times. She has not worked hard for the world and always frowned.

However, the slight sadness in her eyes seemed to linger on her and in her soul, unable to dissipate.

"A'si..." He opened his mouth, with thousands of words in his heart, but he didn't know which one to say.

In the end, I can only tell her to relax and not worry.

"Don't worry about the affairs of the world. I will definitely move forward steadily. Perhaps in just a few years, we will achieve what we seek."

"As for Chen Sui and the others, when I return, I will think carefully about how to control them and prevent them from leaving any more trouble for you and the child."

When his great cause was just beginning to be accomplished and he was on top of the world, he passed away suddenly. It was not easy for her and her children to sit in that position.

It would be fine if those civil and military officials were obedient, but if they were disobedient, they would take advantage of their power to do evil, and we could not take strong measures against them. It would be difficult to deal with them just by saying that they had made contributions to Dayan and the world.

And those clans, one by one, all thought that the new emperor was young and easy to fool, and they were plotting against them, mother and son, one after another.

She had to implement new policies, formulate laws, implement the imperial examination system, and settle people's livelihood. She had to deal with so many things one after another that she never had a good night's sleep. Moreover, she was exhausted from having to deal with those people who were trying to disrupt the situation for their own interests and power.

Throughout her life, even until the day of her death, she never had a few days of peace and peace.

Cui Si shook her head. "If you impose all sorts of rules and requirements on people before the great cause is accomplished, I'm afraid it will shake the morale of the army. If you insist on doing this, you should wait until Northern Yan conquers the world."

"When the time comes, everyone will be promoted to an official position, and those who are promoted to a noble title will be granted a title. At that time, you will be a proper court official, and you will act like an official. You can't be like the makeshift group you have now."

The current Northern Yan Army is indeed still like a makeshift team. The officers and soldiers in the army can still be promoted to positions, but many of the counselors are addressed as "sir".

Yan Xingchuan nodded repeatedly: "I will listen to you."

Cui Si pursed her lips and chuckled when she heard this: "You do have the potential to be a tyrant. You just listen to and do whatever others say."

Yan Xingchuan looked at the two people in the mirror. She was sitting and he was standing, so close to her. If he squatted down a little, he could snuggle with her.

There was a smile between her eyebrows and eyes, and she didn't seem to mind his approach.

He thought that maybe she was still drunk.

"You're not just anyone else." Yan Xingchuan said as a matter of course, "A'si is the best woman in the world. She cares about the world and has a broad mind and insight that ordinary people don't have. I believe you won't do anything bad."

What a good person she is, she is kind and sensible, very reasonable, and has insights that ordinary people don't have.

It was all his fault. He had implicated her and hurt her.

"If you say it's not good, you are sure that I am wrong, and I will listen to you."

After hearing this, Cui Si smiled again, reached out and picked up the jade comb beside her, and handed it to him: "Comb my hair."

Yan Xingchuan nodded and took it, then used the jade comb to comb her hair. Her hair was fine and soft, and felt like silky soft silk, and felt very good.

He had never done this kind of hair-combing work before, but he put his heart into it and learned quickly. He combed all her hair without hitting her scalp.

"How is it?" Yan Xingchuan said with some pride, "My cooking skills are pretty good, right?"

"good."

"Then next time you want me to help you comb your hair, just call me over." Yan Xingchuan reached out and touched her hair, his heart softening.

Cui Si turned around, and Yan Xingchuan was about to take a step back, but unexpectedly, she suddenly reached out and hugged his waist.

He froze in place for a moment, letting her hold him.

Cui Si wrapped her arms around his waist, buried her head in front of him, and leaned against him without moving.

The wind blew through the yard, the leaves rustled, the candles in the house swayed, and the light in the house flickered several times before returning to calm.

After a long time, he came back to his senses, reached out and stroked her hair, and gently comforted her: "Don't be afraid."

There is nothing difficult or painful in life anymore. In this life, he will always protect her and keep her safe. He will never let her be afraid or toil again.

Cui Si hummed softly, then suddenly said, "You stay tonight."

Yan Xingchuan: “…”

He suspected that he had heard it wrong, and was stunned for a long time without coming to his senses. He stood there stiffly like a wooden stake.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally reached out and patted her hair: "A'si, you are drunk."

If he wasn't drunk, how could he say such words?

Inviting a man to stay in her room overnight, especially a man who is in love with her, or even a man who has been married to her, no sane person would do such a thing.

Yan Xingchuan suddenly felt that he could not stay here any longer, otherwise he didn't know what would happen.

So he reached out to take her hand off his waist and said, "A'si, it's late. I should go home. I'll let your maid serve you. You should have a good sleep. When you wake up tomorrow, everything will be over."

Cui Si refused to let go, but hugged her even tighter.

Yan Xingchuan gritted his teeth, quickly pulled her hand away, then turned around and left.

"Stop." Seeing him about to run away, Cui Si immediately called out to him, "If you leave, don't come looking for me again in the future."
