...
Autumn goes and winter comes.
After the beginning of spring, the eldest princess Le You's marriage was also put on the agenda. Le You wanted to marry Liang Huaichuan, but Li Yuanjing disagreed. Liang Huaichuan is skilled in martial arts and is destined to lead troops to fight in the future.
If Le You married a military general, they would be separated for most of the time after marriage. Li Yuanjing didn't want to see his precious daughter suffer after marriage.
Seeing that her father disagreed, Le You had no choice but to ask Chen Wei for help.
On the waterside balcony, spring flowers were just beginning to bloom. Chen Wei clutched the "Taihua Notes" in her hand, raised her eyelids and said to Le You who came running to ask for help: "It is not a joke for a girl to get married. If she marries the wrong person, her life will be ruined."
Le Youru lay on Shen Wei's knees like a child, her pretty face flushed, and replied: "I don't know why, but when I see him, I feel very happy and relieved. Mother, I like Liang Huaichuan, especially."
There were not many twists and turns between her and Liang Huaichuan. They met when they were young and fell in love when they were young.
Leyou wants to stay with him for the rest of her life.
Chen Wei said, "Nan Chu is restless. Your brother values Liang Huaichuan and will definitely send him to guard the border of Nan Chu in the future. If you go out and fight, your life will be in danger if you are not careful. Your father is afraid that you will often stay alone after marriage, so he opposed this marriage."
Le You said eagerly, "Mother, Daqing has 100,000 soldiers guarding the border, and 100,000 men have been separated from their wives. They didn't complain, so how can I complain? And Liang Huaichuan will protect the country in the future, and he will also protect the peace of Daqing's millions of people."
Liang Huaichuan is a talented general, and it would be a waste of his talent if he stayed in Yanjing City.
Leyou hopes he can realize his ambitions.
Shen Wei stroked her daughter's back and said, "I'll tell your father later that this matter has been settled."
Le You said happily, "Thank you, mother."
The mother and daughter talked for a long time.
Before leaving, Le You suddenly stopped and looked back at Shen Wei. The spring was bright and beautiful, and her mother's eyes and eyebrows were still the same as before.
Le You couldn't help but say, "Mother...I always feel like you're not happy."
Shen Wei put down the teacup and smiled faintly: "Don't think too much."
Leyou shook his head.
Maybe it's the blood connection, or maybe it's the connection between mother and daughter. As he grew older, Le You felt more and more that his mother was not as contented as she appeared to be.
The depths of Shen Wei's heart seemed like a barren wasteland.
Le You muttered, "Father loves you, my brothers and I love you too, you are the most noble woman in Qing Kingdom, you have everything... Mother, why are you unhappy?"
Shen Wei was speechless.
Let the palace maid send Le You away.
The water of Luoyue Lake is leisurely and the spring is bright. Many bright peach blossoms are blooming by the lake, swaying in the spring breeze. Chen Wei turned two pages of "Taihua Notes" and the spring breeze blew a peach petal over and landed on the cover page of the notes.
Shen Wei picked up the pink peach petal and felt that she should be happy. Now her children have grown up, Li Yuanjing loves her, and she has a vast business empire and endless money.
But in these years, most of her dreams were about her life in modern times.
She would dream of the muddy paths on her way to school, the cafeteria at university, and the countless nights she and her employees spent working overtime, but she rarely dreamed of Li Yuanjing and the children.
Chen Wei crushed the peach petals in her hand, looked at the bright spring light in the distance, and a poem came to her mind:
If the spring breeze has pity for flowers, can you allow me to be young again...
...
...
With Chen Wei's intervention, Le You's marriage was quickly settled. Li Chengtai issued an imperial decree to grant a marriage between his eldest sister Princess Leyou and the youngest son of the Liang family.
The wedding was held in the palace.
On the morning of the wedding, Le You finished bathing early and was called by the palace maid and the old nanny to wash and dress up.
Chen Wei prepared a whole box of hairpins and jewelry, and personally put the hairpins and phoenix crown on Le You.
The silver mirror was polished very brightly. Shen Wei looked at the bright and beautiful girl in front of her and felt that time passed by in a flash. Eighteen years ago, Leyou was still a chubby baby crying for food, but now she has grown into a graceful young lady.
Shen Wei had mixed feelings.
Leyou is the first bond between Shen Wei and this era, and also the first chain tied around Shen Wei's ankle. But after all, blood is thicker than water, and family affection still flows in the blood. Seeing her daughter getting married, Shen Wei still felt a sour nose.
"Mother, don't be sad. After Leyou gets married, she will visit you and father often." Leyou held Shen Wei's hand.
Shen Wei told Le You: "People outside say that the husband is the leader of the wife, and the father is the leader of the son. Le You, your mother hopes that you will not be bound by these rules. You are the most noble princess of Daqing. You must put yourself first, understand?"
Leyou nodded obediently.
The sound of drums and music outside has begun, and the prince consort's guard of honor has arrived at the palace gate. Chen Wei handed Le You a phoenix round fan for covering his face, and Le You went out holding the fan to cover his face.
The wedding ceremony was extremely grand. Under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Rites, envoys, palace maids, and boys began to work in an orderly manner. With ten miles of red decorations, the city of Yanjing is extremely bustling.
After a complicated ceremony, the prince consort rode a fine horse and took Princess Leyou from the palace to the princess's residence.
Chen Wei and Li Yuanjing stood side by side on the top of the palace wall, looking at the fluttering red silks everywhere outside the wall.
"The wind is strong inside the palace walls, don't catch a cold." Li Yuanjing was also wearing auspicious clothes, and he put the cloak on Shen Wei.
The two of them watched Leyou go away, and the princess's red sedan chair went further and further away. Shen Wei was filled with mixed feelings and let out a soft sigh. Li Yuanjing took Shen Wei's hand and walked down the palace wall.
After Le You got married, Shen Wei's niece Shen Mingyue also set out to return to Liangzhou. Shen Wei heard that the King Wu of Donglin Kingdom actually followed all the way to Liangzhou. He took the silver and money to do business in Liangzhou, and often went to the general's mansion to find Shen Mingyue.
Shen Wei wanted to know the follow-up, but Liangzhou was remote and the news traveled too slowly. Shen Wei had to suppress her gossiping heart and rest for a while, planning to go to Jiangnan to escape the summer heat, and then go to Yue State to visit Zhaoyang.
Li Yuanjing had long wanted to stay away from the court and travel around with Shen Wei every day, so he immediately sent someone to make preparations.
The carriages and horses are ready, and the guards are complete.
It was a sunny day, and Li Yuanjing took Shen Wei on a carriage and set off on a journey south. The long official road leads to the distance, with guards and servants serving on both sides.
Shen Wei went to bed late last night and was so sleepy this morning that she couldn't open her eyes. She leaned on the soft couch to take a rest. Li Yuanjing draped the fox fur blanket over Shen Wei and stared at her sleeping face. The sleeping Shen Wei had round cheeks, curled eyelashes and rosy lips.
Li Yuanjing recalled that night in Prince Yan's Mansion many years ago. He walked through the gloomy and dark courtyard and came to the courtyard where Shen Wei lived. The courtyard was filled with mist. He lifted the gauze curtain and saw Shen Wei's charming face.
From then on, Shen Wei entered his world.
The past is still vivid in his mind. The years have passed in the blink of an eye. The little concubine whom he once treated as a toy has become a treasure in his heart that he cannot give up.
The carriage was moving slowly, Li Yuanjing hooked Shen Wei's fingertips and asked in a low voice: "Weiwei, do you have me in your heart?"
Shen Wei fell asleep and didn't give him an answer.
Li Yuanjing felt regretful.
He thought that it would be nice to be able to grow old with Shen Wei for the rest of his life.
