Chapter 801: At This Moment
Wei Qing was also working to return power to the emperor.
Zhao Jingxuan also became busier and busier.
If it were before, he would definitely look like he was about to collapse, but now, he has been the emperor for almost two years. He is used to being an emperor and knows how to hide his emotions.
He hid everything in front of his ministers and concubines without any leakage.
He would only show signs of fatigue in front of the Queen Mother, his biological mother, the former Concubine Liang.
"Mother, I'm so tired." In front of the empress dowager, the young emperor acted like a child and acted coquettishly.
The empress dowager had delicate makeup on her face, and her face, which appeared noble and aloof in front of outsiders, now revealed a hint of heartache.
"Your Majesty, you have worked hard." The Queen Mother patted him on the back.
"Mother, my elder brother wants to leave and doesn't want to help me anymore." Zhao Jingxuan said.
"The Prince Regent's Palace hasn't even been established yet, and Wei Qing's heart has never been in the court," the Queen Mother said. "This day will come sooner or later."
"Those who keep telling me to be wary of the regent and take back power are ridiculous," said Zhao Jingxuan.
He felt that if he wanted to take back the power, his elder brother would definitely offer it to him with both hands, and even pat him on the shoulder and praise him as a "good brother".
"Everyone loves power, but the Prince Regent is different. I can't blame them." The Queen Mother saw it clearly.
There are very few people like Wei Qing in the world, and it can even be said that there is only one.
"He has helped you enough, Emperor," the Queen Mother continued.
"Mother, I understand. He longs to live with Sister Tangli." Zhao Jingxuan said, "I have to help him."
Zhao Jingxuan said with a sly smile: "I will catch his son and make him continue to work for me."
His elder brother ran away, but Ziang and Xu Jue couldn't escape.
When Zi'ang and Xu Jue return to the court and join the cabinet, he will feel much more relaxed.
The Queen Mother also smiled.
In fact, she sometimes envied Wei Qing and Tang Li for being able to find someone they loved, travel around the world, and stay together until old age.
But she can only be trapped in this deep palace...
However, everyone has their own destiny, and when she was born into the Liang family, her fate was already determined.
Now, it is the best result.
She will do her best to help her son become an excellent emperor.
Looking at the young emperor, the Queen Mother's eyes were filled with light and hope again.
…
New Year is here again in the blink of an eye.
New Year's Eve.
Sanbao was not there on last year’s New Year’s Eve.
On New Year's Eve this year, Xu Jue and Wei Ziang were not there again.
Fortunately, there is Mu Bao, who chatters away, making the dinner table lively and not lonely at all.
Tangli prepared red envelopes and gave them to the children.
Wei Ziyi also had one. The handsome boy was very surprised: "Mom, I have one too?"
"Yes, no matter how old they are, they are still mom and dad's children." Tang Li said, "When Xiaowei gets married next year, you can get two red envelopes."
When talking about Du Wei, Wei Ziyi was still a little embarrassed and his face turned slightly red.
Tangli gave red envelopes to Mubao and Tangbao again.
Mu Bao was very happy. She hugged Tang Li's waist and kept saying "Thank you, mother" coquettishly.
Tang Bao looked at her brother, who was acting like a spoiled child, and couldn't bear to look at his face.
Tang Bao also took out a small red envelope from her arms and handed it to Mu Bao, saying in a baby voice, "Happy New Year, little brother."
Mu Bao took the red envelope, hugged Tang Bao, and rubbed his chubby face against her.
Tang Bao's little face soon couldn't hold it anymore and she smiled.
Wei Qing brought the fireworks, lit them, and the festive fireworks shot up into the sky.
Tangli held the two little guys and looked at the beautiful fireworks with a smile on his face.
At some point, Wei Qing had secretly come to her side and stole a kiss on her cheek.
The two little guys ran to set off small fireworks. Wei Qing hugged Tang Li from behind and looked at the fireworks in the distance.
When the fireworks fall, the whole world is silent for a moment.
"I don't know what Ziang and Xu Jue ate tonight."
"I don't know how Sanbao will spend the New Year this year."
Tangli said that his heart was still concerned about his children far away.
…
Qingzhou, thousands of miles away.
The two young men sat in the deserted courtyard, with a few simple dishes and a pot of wine on the table.
These two young men were Xu Jue and Wei Ziang.
The distance between Qingzhou and Liangzhou is much closer than that to the capital. If you ride fast, you can reach them in two or three days.
After all, it was New Year's Eve when families reunited, so the two of them got together.
Their faces had grown longer. Wei Ziang had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose bridge, regular features, and was handsome. Xu Jue's features were deeper and tougher. They were both suave young men, but now both were wrapped in thick cotton-padded jackets, which made them look less elegant.
Wei Ziang had a low alcohol tolerance. After taking two sips, his face turned slightly red and his eyes became a little dull.
Xu Jue laughed at him: "Are you drunk? Ziang, you can't drink much. If a girl gives you two sips of wine, you will be drunk and at their mercy."
"I'm not drunk, my mind is clear, and I won't let anyone manipulate me." Wei Ziang said unconvinced.
"Not drunk? Then let's have a poetry competition, and the winner will draw a turtle on the loser's face, how about that?" Xu Jue said.
Wei Ziang looked up at the sky and pretended not to hear.
Xu Jue couldn't help but laugh, but he refused to let him go.
"Zi'ang, did you hear what I just said?"
"Xu Jue, look, the moon is so round." Wei Ziang said.
He had just pretended not to hear, but now he started to change the subject. Xu Jue stopped making things difficult for him, and they both looked at the sky together.
Where is the moon? Only the stars are shining.
But I still thought of my hometown, Wei Qing and Tang Li, as well as Wei Ziyi, Tang Bao and Mu Bao.
…
The witch clan further away.
The starry sky seemed to be hanging above the high roof.
From a distance, there seemed to be two small dots on the roof.
If you get closer, you can see that they are actually two people.
The man was lazily leaning against the raised eaves, his face still bright and handsome even in the night. He was holding a wine jug in his hand and occasionally taking a sip of wine.
The girl in red beside him was in a similar posture, also with a pot of wine, occasionally taking a sip, carefree and unrestrained.
"Master, do you miss my parents?" The girl's clear and pleasant voice rang out.
"I wonder what they are doing." Du Ye said.
People are in pairs, so doesn’t it seem a bit redundant for him to think about it?
"But I miss them, my brothers, my sister, and my brother." There was melancholy in the girl's voice.
Du Ye looked at the girl's frown, and his brows also frowned slightly. He naturally couldn't bear to see his beloved disciple suffer, but he didn't know how to comfort her.
"Master, let me teach you a set of sword techniques?" Du Ye suddenly asked.
The girl covered her face with her hands and said dissatisfiedly: "Master, today is New Year's Day, can you let me rest for a while?"
Du Ye felt a little regretful: "Okay."
"Master, I'm glad you're with me." said the girl.
Wangyou, also known as Wu Li, is too busy.
Today is also an important festival for the Wu clan, which requires sacrifices and banquets, and he is not finished yet.
The girl suddenly looked at Du Ye.
"Master, will you always stay with me?" The girl's eyes were sparkling with anticipation.
"When you get married, you will find your master a nuisance." Du Ye said.
When Du Ye thought about the little girl he had watched grow up getting married, he felt like an old father and was reluctant to let her go.
But, you have to give up even if you are reluctant.
The little girl will eventually grow up and meet her true love, and the old father will eventually let go.
"Master, then I won't get married and will stay with you," said the girl.
Du Ye looked at her for a moment, then looked away.
I just thought it was the little girl's nonsense and didn't take it to heart.
