Chapter 294: Death

When Pei Luoshu came in, he saw that she was wearing a blanket, with a book at her waist, her face exposed to the sun, and the tassels hanging on the porch were blown by the wind, brushing her hair and staining her long eyelashes.

Just watching her sleep peacefully, my heart feels warm and satisfied.

All the intrigues in the court disappeared the moment he saw her.

He walked towards her cheerfully, moved a chair and sat beside her, enjoying this rare warm moment.

Chen Shiyi felt that he had slept for a long time. When he opened his eyes, he saw Pei Luoshu's warm face reflected in front of the curtain.

"Did you sleep well?"

Chen Shiyi's eyes were hazy and he looked a little dazed.

"Why didn't you call me when you came?"

"I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up."

Chen Shiyi smiled, stood up and snuggled into his arms.

Pei Luoshu hugged her tightly and smelled her soft and fragrant hair.

"Are you hungry?"

“Yeah, a little bit.”

"I have asked Yue Zhi to send someone to deliver the meal. Please wait a moment."

"good."

Chen Shiyi looked at Pei Luoshu's face carefully.

"A Luo, have you lost weight?"

"Did you see that?"

Pei Luoshu pinched her fingers and kissed her cheek gently.

"Are you still used to it in Qingzhou?"

Chen Shiyi said with a smile.

"I'm used to it. I like it there too. Situ Yu is very knowledgeable and I always follow him. But he gets annoyed when he sees me."

Pei Luoshu pinched her nose.

"These great scholars who dominate the literary world all have tempers, but my Eleventh is so good, he will definitely look up to you in the future."

Chen Shiyi patted his head when he thought that today was his birthday.

"Wait a minute. I'll go get the birthday gift I prepared for you."

"good."

Pei Luoshu watched her trot in, her long black hair fluttering in the wind. After a while, she ran out of the house with an ink-colored box in her hand.

"What is it?"

"Open it and take a look."

As soon as the box was opened, a jade hairpin came into view.

The hosta is crystal clear, with a halo that flows as smoothly as water, as if it were a drop of water, very lively and noble.

"The jade is of excellent quality and has been well polished."

Chen Shiyi said with a smile.

"I learned this from Situ Yu. He knows a lot of things. Look, there are our names engraved on it. It's a little small here. Can you see it?"

"I saw it."

Chen Shiyi complained.

"Your name is too difficult to write. I practiced for a long time before I dared to carve it."

Pei Luoshu smiled.

"Thank you for your hard work, my wife. Please help me put it on."

"good."

Chen Shiyi found that Pei Luoshu had a golden crown on her head and the jade hairpin could not be pinned on, and she was suddenly a little disappointed.

"What's wrong?"

"You may not be able to wear it today. You can wear the tiara later."

Pei Luoshu quickly took the hairpin, wrapped it around her waist, and rested his head on her waist.

"Wear it tomorrow. Your birthday gift is my favorite."

Chen Shiyi nodded and put the hairpin back into the ink box.

Suddenly, an urgent voice came from outside. It was Yue Zhi's.

"Your Majesty, there is an emergency in the palace."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

"Eleven, you rest here first, I'll come over when I'm done."

Chen Shiyi knew that he was busy and felt sorry for him. It was rare for him to have a break.

Pei Luoshu stood up, shook off his sleeves, and as he walked forward, the ink cartridge on the table was accidentally brought down. When the ink cartridge was opened, the jade hairpin placed in the ink cartridge immediately broke into several pieces.

Pei Luo turned around in surprise and saw Chen Shiyi standing at a loss in front of the broken jade hairpin on the ground.

He regretted his carelessness, squatted down and picked up the broken jade hairpin on the ground.

Chen Shiyi also squatted down to pick it up and said to Pei Luoshu.

"It's okay. If it breaks, it breaks. Anyway, I can polish jade myself. At most, I can make a few more. You should go back to the palace quickly. It will be bad if it's too late and something goes wrong."

Pei Luoshu comforted her.

"I'll find a goldsmith to fix the jade later. I'm leaving now. If I come back late, you can go and rest first."

Chen Shiyi watched Pei Luo go away, then looked down at the broken jade in the ink box, feeling inexplicably sad.

Next time I will never give such fragile things as a gift, and I will take good care of them. If they are accidentally broken, I will be sad.

Dinner was delivered as promised, and the table was filled with delicacies. She was the only one eating. Sigh...

She was also thinking inappropriately, because he was very busy at that moment.

He has to make decisions on many matters both inside and outside the palace.

Next time, she should come when he is not busy so that she can see him more.

Sure enough, he didn't come that night.

The next day, he finally came over in the afternoon, but before he could talk for a while, he was called back.

Chen Shiyi read books and practiced calligraphy in it, and occasionally painted a few pictures imitating Pei Luoshu, but the look of them was beyond words.

Chen Shiyi smiled.

This kind of thing really requires talent.

Four days passed like this, and Chen Shiyi decided to leave.

Yue Zhi was very puzzled.

"Your Majesty has been quite busy these days. Something has happened in a foreign country. Please wait patiently for a few days."

Chen Shiyi shook his head. |

"He's already busy, and he still misses me here, going back and forth. He finally gets a break, but he has to waste it on the way to see me. Forget it, go back and tell him that I'm going back to Qingzhou first, so he doesn't have to travel so hard anymore."

Pei Luoshu was upset after hearing Yue Zhi's report.

"Why didn't you stop her?"

"The queen said that she doesn't want you to run back and forth. You're already working hard, and you still have to take care of her. She can't bear it."

Pei Luoshu walked into the house and saw a broken jade hairpin and several messy paintings in the ink box on the table.

In the painting, she drew a nice bird as a duck, and the duck was not fat, so it must not be delicious.

Pei Luoshu smiled knowingly, but couldn't help feeling sad. It was such a pity that the meeting that he had carefully prepared ended up being so hasty.

Chen Shiyi and Fu Da rode away from Kyoto.

On the way, Fu Da asked her.

"You've only stayed for a few days, why are you going to Qingzhou so early?"

Chen Shiyi felt a little unhappy and his voice was dull.

"No matter how long it takes, as long as I don't enter the palace, my life will always be like this. I will do my best in Qingzhou and ease the oppression of the aristocratic families on him. Then he and I will never be separated again."

Fu Da curled his lips.

“It’s actually quite good not to go back.”

Chen Shiyi cursed with a smile.

"What nonsense are you talking about? He is my husband. Our separation is only a temporary solution. We will definitely live together in the future. Don't talk nonsense from now on."

Fu Da knew her situation and said in a cold voice.

"I'm not saying that there's any difference between you being in that villa and being in the palace. You still have to wait for him every day, looking forward to him. At first, you will still think about him, he must be busy, but he once said that time is always available. If you want to see someone, time is never a problem. Slowly, you will start to resent him, and then the two of you will argue, and he will coax you, but over time, he will no longer be willing to coax you, because besides you, he also has the affairs of the court. As time goes by, he will feel that you don't understand him."

Chen Shiyi looked at him in confusion.

"Have you ever experienced this?"
