"Eh, shame on you."
The two little boys simultaneously reached out to cover their sister's eyes and shouted at Xie Jingzhi, "Father, please pay attention to your imperial demeanor!"
The two of them said this because when they were studying in the Shangshufang, the Grand Tutor always said that they did not have the manners of a prince and asked them to learn more from their father.
"Go play over there." Xie Jingzhi wasn't shy at all. He waved his hand and asked someone to take them to the side to feed the fish.
After the three children were no longer around, Xie Jingzhi was completely humble in front of Wen Liyu. He leaned his strong body against her and almost knocked her over.
"You're so old, and you're still like this." Wen Liyu glared at him angrily, "There are people watching! Your Majesty!"
"Tsk." Xie Jingzhi raised his eyes and glanced at the chief eunuch, who immediately signaled him to take his men away.
After everyone left, he became even more clingy and buried his head in Wen Liyu's arms, "No one is watching now, Queen~"
"Puff." Wen Liyu grabbed his ear and exclaimed, "You have white hair!"
“…Yeah.” Xie Jingzhi’s lips curled up slightly, his eyes darkening. “I’m already in my thirties, so of course I’ll have white hair.”
He stretched out his hand, sighing inwardly, feeling slightly sour, "Jiaojiao hasn't changed at all."
Xie Jingzhi didn't know how long he could live, he just hoped that his child could grow up quickly so that he would have the time and energy to take his Jiaojiao to see the scenery elsewhere.
He had promised Jiaojiao that he would take her to see various sights and eat seasonal food in all four seasons, but until now, this promise has not been fully fulfilled.
After becoming an emperor, he could get whatever he wanted, but these were not given to Jiaojiao personally by him, so they did not count.
Wen Liyu was held in his arms, her heart tightening for a moment, and she mumbled, "Xie Jingzhi."
"I'm here." Xie Jingzhi held her face and kissed her.
The autumn breeze blew by, bringing the fragrance of flowers around the two people sitting in the flowers.
There is a pond next to it with gurgling water flowing through the cracks in the rockery. The waves hit the pebbles on the shore, splashing transparent water droplets in the sunlight.
The sound of koi swimming and the sound of wind blowing through leaves are intertwined, and the 'rustling' is like a song with a hint of sadness.
The corners of Wen Liyu's eyes turned slightly red, and a tear rolled down from the end of her eye.
Xie Jingzhi gently kissed away her tears, and lovingly held her in his arms to comfort her, "Jiaojiao."
Wen Liyu's voice was nasal, "Hmm."
Xie Jingzhi held her in his arms, enjoying the occasional tranquility, his heart gradually drifting away.
If only I could live forever with her.
-
Foreign enemies appeared on the border some time ago, and Xie Jingzhi was very busy and annoyed during this period.
He was angered by the so-called "peace advocates" today, so he sent all those who wanted to marry to the border and asked them to persuade the foreign enemy with their words.
Marriage? Bullshit! What do you think he is?! A dog who sells his daughter for fame?!
Now, a group of ministers were kneeling outside the imperial study, most of them were white-haired old men. They knelt on the ground trembling with fear, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"I beg the Emperor to revoke his order."
"I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have proposed the marriage proposal. Your Majesty..."
Wen Liyu came over at this time. She had something important to say to Xie Jingzhi.
She walked past the group of ministers, holding up her skirt, and saw that most of them were the ones who had impeached her and said she was unfit to be the queen.
Wen Liyu raised her chin proudly, glanced at them, and walked into the imperial study in their sad and angry eyes.
"Jiaojiao, why are you here?" Xie Jingzhi raised his head, threw the memorial aside, and opened his hand to catch her.
The eunuchs and palace maids around looked at the emperor and empress calmly. Even when the emperor gave the dragon throne, which symbolized power, to the empress, no one reminded her. They were used to it.
The chief eunuch stepped forward calmly and brought a cup of tea to the empress.
Wen Liyu leaned her head closer to Xie Jingzhi and said, "Open this and take a look!"
"What's wrong here? Did you get a bump?" Xie Jingzhi frowned and carefully moved her hairpin and hair aside.
Seeing the silver-white hair mixed in the long black hair, he was stunned. After he came to his senses, his fingers were trembling.
"Jiaojiao, what's going on?!" Xie Jingzhi's eyes instantly turned red, and a huge fear enveloped him.
Why is Jiaojiao growing white hair?! She's a koi fairy! How could she possibly have white hair?!
Is there something wrong with my body? My cultivation? My spiritual power? Or something else?
Many bad guesses flashed through Xie Jingzhi's mind. When he thought about Jiaojiao getting sick, he felt helpless. His heart seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand, and breathing became so difficult that he felt suffocated.
His aura was extremely terrifying, shrouded in a thick black haze. The servants around him knelt on the ground, trembling with fear and not daring to look up.
The atmosphere in the imperial study became increasingly tense, and Xie Jingzhi's immense pressure was unbearable.
Wen Liyu quickly waved her hands, asking everyone to leave. She reached out and hugged the man who was about to collapse, explaining, "I'm fine! Really, don't be afraid!"
After everyone left, Xie Jingzhi was pulled by Wen Liyu to sit on the dragon throne. There was plenty of space for the two of them to sit in the same seat, but Wen Liyu sat in his arms, holding his face, and petting him like a chick pecking at rice.
Xie Jingzhi was comforted by her kiss, and the spikes on his body softened slightly. His eyes were red and his voice was hoarse, "Jiaojiao, don't scare me."
"I didn't scare you." Wen Liyu kissed him again, "I'll be the same as you in the future. Aren't you happy?"
She had been taking beauty and health-preserving pills from the system, so she didn't have any gray hair.
Xie Jingzhi always thought that she was a koi spirit, and since their lifespans were different, he had no doubts at all, and Wen Liyu did not notice this little thing either.
