Chapter 572 Give Yourself an Ending
Don't marry.
She always speaks and acts in this way, decisively and efficiently.
No hesitation, no room for imagination.
Wei Li slowly loosened his clenched hands, smiled at the woman on the wall, and quietly hid the attachment in his heart.
Tianbao's answer was expected.
Not surprising.
It's just that loss and regret are inevitable.
Su Wen, Su Wu and Xiao Mai Sui, who were standing against the wall, all turned their heads and gestured quickly towards Wei Li.
Tianbao glanced sideways and moved his ears, easily identifying that the footsteps coming from the other end of the loess road were from Bai Yu.
She raised an eyebrow and looked at Wei Li, "What tricks are you playing?"
Su Wen and Su Wu squatted down like wheat ears, with an attitude of watching a show and eating melons, and had a strange smile on their faces.
Wei Li listened to the approaching footsteps and the growing murderous intent, a mischievous look flashing through his eyes, "Don't blame me, Senior Sister. It's really the old ministers in the court who are urging me to do this. The position of Empress has been vacant for many years and I can't delay it any longer. Two years ago, all the departments in the palace were ready, with phoenix crowns, bridal robes, and red beauties, just waiting to welcome the Empress. After much thought, the best candidate for Empress is—"
clang——
A soft sword was inserted obliquely into the wall. The flexible sword body trembled slightly and flashed a cold light. The blade was just half an inch in front of Wei Li's throat.
"Fifth senior brother is going to have a queen? Congratulations, there are countless noble ladies in the Changjing family. I hope you can pick out the best one as soon as possible. Tianbao and I will jointly send you a gift." The young man in white appeared on the wall with a smile on his face. His white robe moved without wind, and his eyes were already full of swords and sabers.
If it weren't for Tianbao, I'm afraid I would start to go crazy again.
Wei Li lowered his eyes, removed the soft sword from across his throat and returned it. When he raised his eyes again, they were filled with amusement. "I haven't even finished my words yet, why are you already showing your sword? When did you become so impatient?"
Bai Yu raised his lips, his smile not reaching his eyes. "As long as you don't try to steal my girlfriend, everything is fine. But this is something I can't joke about."
He stared at Wei Li, "I will take it seriously."
When their eyes meet, each of them has their own thoughts in their eyes, and only they can read each other's.
Bai Yu doesn't care about the country. If Wei Li wants it, he can get it for him.
Only sweet treasure can not be snatched away or coveted by others.
No matter how easy-going Bai Yu appears to be in his daily life, he is actually quite domineering.
Wei Li understood, and his starry eyes dimmed.
Why would he be greedy for power?
If the person in Tianbao's heart is him, he can also give up everything for her and hide himself in the city.
He lost, but not to Bai Yu.
He lost to Tianbao.
The atmosphere in the courtyard became cold.
Wei Li frowned and snorted coldly, "Since Junior Brother is offering you another gift, then as your senior brother, I would be disrespectful to refuse. You don't need any other gifts, just do something for me. How about that?"
Bai Yu lifted his skirt, returned to normal, and sat lazily beside Tian Bao, saying casually, "Anything is fine within the scope of my ability."
"I have already promised Mr. Gan the last time I returned to the capital. The ceremony of establishing the queen will be held in April next year, and Gan's daughter Cairou will be appointed as the queen." Wei Li's straight lips curled up a little, and his black eyes flashed with an ambiguous light.
It seems like he has bad intentions no matter how you look at it.
Bai Yu sounded the alarm almost immediately, but when he wanted to speak up to remedy the situation, it was too late.
"That day, please, Junior Brother, disguise yourself as a palace maid and protect me for a day. Is this a small request within your ability?"
"..." Bai Yu sat stiffly, his expression blank.
Su Wen and Su Wu finally couldn't hold it back anymore, "Hahahaha!"
The elders of the Su family looked at the eldest brother for a while, and then forced themselves to go back to the house. After a while, a burst of laughter came from the house.
Bai Yu caught his breath and chuckled, "So you did this on purpose? You were waiting for me here."
"What can I do? The only one who can make you run away rationally is Tianbao." Wei Li took a few steps back, pulled off the yellow brocade robe that looked out of place on Tu Beishan, and rolled it up like a rag, revealing the black shirt underneath. "Don't blame me for this. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for offending too many people recently. The idea wasn't mine alone. Xiaowen, Xiaowu, and Junior Sister all had a hand in it. I'm going back to the capital soon. Remember to arrive early for the April ceremony. Women's clothing—"
He looked at Bai Yu with a smile, "Senior Brother will definitely pick out a nice one for you. I can finally make up for my regret of not being able to see you in women's clothing back then."
"You! Wait!!"
The boat back to Beijing was waiting by the reed marsh.
Wei Li boarded the boat with a lot of bags.
This time, Su Wen didn't let Wei Li catch him personally, but rolled up on his own with the package on his back.
Bai Yu's ability to hold a grudge is no less than Uncle Chang Dong's. If he doesn't leave now, there will be chaos every day.
Tianbao went to see them off. After watching the transport ship leave, he turned around and saw a young man in white standing behind the reed marsh with his arms folded, his hair full of grievance.
She walked closer with her hands behind her back, and stopped in front of the young man. Her clear almond eyes hid a smile. "That day, you pretend to be a palace maid to protect Wei Li, and I pretend to be a guard to protect you. How about that?"
Bai Yu's heart faltered, and he pretended to be dissatisfied, "Is this how you coax me?"
The woman walked past him and walked forward slowly. "No matter how beautiful the red makeup is or how vast the mountains and rivers are, in my heart, they are not as good as Bai Yu."
There was a brief silence.
After a moment of silence, the man transformed into a white butterfly again, fluttering around the woman. "Jiu'er, that sounds so sweet! Say more!"
…
The person lying in the reed marsh turned into a wooden chicken and couldn't move for a long time.
After the young man and woman walked away, Su Wu scratched his ears, turned his head with wide eyes, and asked the person next to him for confirmation, "Little Wheat Ear, did you hear that too? Did I hear it wrong? Was it really what Tianbao said? When did she become so capable?"
Little Wheat Ear touched his nose uncomfortably. "...I bought two storybooks for my sister a while ago. I guess she learned from them."
"...What kind of storybook did you find?"
"The Amorous Zhou Shengxian, The Talented Scholar and the Beautiful Lady, The Matchmaker in the Western Chamber" -"
“…”
…
The transport ship circled the river bend, and Tubei Village was no longer visible in the distance.
Wei Li was still standing at the bow, looking at the clear waves of the river, his mind dazed and as if he had lost something.
"Don't stand there. The October River wind is cold. Don't fall ill on the boat before returning to Changjing. The few tricks I learned from Grandpa Du won't be enough to help you."
In the cabin, Su Wen lit a red clay stove to boil tea. This elegance was something he learned from his teacher and gradually became a habit.
Footsteps were heard, and a figure in black clothes sat down on the cushion opposite the low table.
Su Wen looked up and glanced at him, "Have you put it down?"
"It's not that easy to let go." Wei Li smiled faintly, took a few empty teacups, and played with them unconsciously between his fingertips. "It's just to give myself an ending, so that I can move forward without distraction."
It is impossible for the harem to be without a master forever, and it is impossible for him to never have a queen.
Today, he dared to ask Tianbao to personally reject him. This would be the ending between him and Tianbao.
Obsession cannot be let go, but it can be buried deep.
From then on, everything he had belonged to the Dai Viet state.
