Ye Qiu said calmly, "When I was young, I read too many storybooks and thought there was always a man in this world who was born for me, but in fact, there is no such man.
Now, I think everyone around me is doing well, including you, Your Highness, whom I have seen and known very little.
There may be no one in this world who is born for us, or has the appearance and temperament we expect. Even if we think there is such a person, she (he) may have her (his) own life, which has nothing to do with us.
What has been lost, what cannot be sought, what has never been encountered. You look at her back, whether she is laughing and talking, or leaving alone, she is getting farther and farther away.
But people should live well for themselves.
The most moving scenery is the one that lives for itself. Vibrant flowers, thriving trees, rivers that flow endlessly and grow stronger, grasslands that wither in winter and bloom in spring...
The most beautiful thing in the world is the endless vitality, fish swimming in the water and eagles flying in the sky.
Maybe someone has disappointed us before, she is not what we thought she was, and we have also disappointed others, we are not what she (he) thought we were.
No matter how much you miss, the value of life lies in the fact that every day is new and you can start over.
It is not about dwelling on the past, but about living in the present.
Your Highness may not have this thought now.
But Your Highness, as a prince and a noble king, you always have responsibilities to shoulder. If you can't protect that person from the wind and rain, why not provide a place for the people?
At least it won't make parents worry.
To be honest with Your Highness, I want to live a good life for myself. Your Highness is the best choice for me. I don't seek love, and I don't believe in the things in the storybooks anymore.
If Your Highness also needs a wife, then we can each take what we need and perform our duties. If Your Highness no longer needs her, just let me know."
Xuanyuan Huaiyu asked, "Then what are you planning?"
Ye Qiu said: "I am married, and I married a prince. My parents will no longer have to worry about me.
Even if we have to separate in the future, I believe that the prince will not treat me unfairly. It will not only help me solve my current difficulties, but also ensure my future safety. I am just a woman, and I don’t ask for much. This is already very good.”
Xuanyuan Huaiyu was silent for a long time before he said, "Then I'll be your shield for three months, are you willing?
I will tell my mother, the queen mother, and the concubine that I hope to spend some time with the girl first. At least in these three months, my father, the queen mother, and the concubine will not try to set me up with anyone.
I wonder what the lady thinks?"
Ye Qiu thought: I'd like to, I'll just treat this as a probationary period for the shopkeeper. Three months, if I plan well, maybe I can trick my father. If I can get the big job done during the probation period, then whether I get hired in the end won't be so important.
Ye Qiu nodded and said, "Okay."
Xuanyuan Huaiyu said: "That's good. I talked too much just now."
Ye Qiu was furious and cursed in his heart, "How can I ask for a job if I can't speak? How can I get the probation period? This is the only chance I have. If I don't speak everything, am I applying for a job like a mute?"
I'm not Wang Xipei. If you come to this station and don't say a word, you'll be in trouble.
Forget it, you're the boss. Even Wang Xipei has endured it for five years.
Ye Qiu acknowledges that Wang Xipei is better than himself. People should have a clear understanding of themselves.
In terms of talent, Wang Xipei's family background is rich with knowledge. She has a sharp mind, and while she may not want to show it, she'll be constantly writing when the occasion calls for it. Even more remarkable is that her handwriting and writing styles can be completely different.
At the gathering of noble ladies, she had seen Wang Xipei had to pick up the pen, had seen her magnanimity and elegance, and had also seen her graceful tenderness...Xuanyuan Huaiyu was not worthy of her.
The first person to be impressed by this talent was probably Xuanyuan Mingrui.
It's just that usually, everyone somehow always feels that talented women should be a little aloof and noble, but Wang Xipei has a very good temperament, so when she shows her talent, everyone is a little bit unbelievable.
But after many times, I finally gave in. When I saw her again later, she was extremely skinny and could barely eat anything at the party. But she still smiled warmly and spoke softly to everyone she met. I really didn't know if it was her good nature or the upbringing that was etched in her bones.
As for my own father and mother, well, it’s better not to mention them. They are not very well-versed in the classics, history, and literature, and are not as good as I am.
My mother didn't have good conditions to study, and my father had the conditions but didn't study hard, saying that he didn't like it. When he was a little boy, he often climbed over the wall to skip the teacher's class, and hung out with the current emperor, which also made the old Duke so angry that he punished him with family punishments many times.
Later, my father became a military general.
She got the old housekeeper drunk and listened to him talk about the past, which was what she and her brother used to do when her father was in southern Yunnan.
As for appearance, well, forget it.
In terms of background, my father's family is quite comparable. On one hand, he is a hereditary duke, and on the other hand, he is a close and important official, with more than three generations of accumulation. On one hand, he is a veteran nobleman, and on the other hand, he is a first-rank official who currently has considerable influence in court affairs.
My mother, Tang Miao, was a palace maid, and I was a concubine. Wang Xipei's mother was the legitimate daughter of the Yongding Marquisate, her maternal grandfather was the Yongding Marquis, and her maternal grandmother was Zhong Qin, the daughter of the former Grand Marshal Zhong Ding. My own grandparents, well, forget it.
Ye Qiu followed Xuanyuan Huaiyu back to Chen Fei's residence. He consciously did not enter the inner room and sat outside drinking tea. While waiting, he thought about all sorts of things. He didn't know what Xuanyuan Huaiyu had said to Chen Fei, but when Chen Fei came out, she looked at him with obviously different eyes.
Concubine Chen ordered someone to bring a pair of jade bracelets to Ye Qiu and said happily, "Good boy, I thought you were a good person." As she spoke, her eyes turned red.
Ye Qiu was a little panicked. He had his own plans. If Concubine Chen had too high expectations of him, he would not be able to bear it. Ye Qiu planned to run away at any time once his goal was achieved.
Xuanyuan Huaiyu was obviously unwilling to sit in such an atmosphere for a long time. His mother looked at him as if someone was finally willing to take over the unsold inventory.
I was the one who chose the prince's consort, and I was the one who gave in, but why did my mother always look at me with such hatred? Wasn't I doing what she wanted?
I also felt that I agreed to the girl named Ye Qiu just to save trouble for the time being, and now I feel a little regretful and hasty.
Xuanyuan Huaiyu said goodbye and was about to leave, while Concubine Chen went to find the Queen to report the good news.
Ever since their son separated from Ren Jiayu, the two of them have been trying to bring people to Xuanyuan Huaiyu in various ways. This is the first time their son has not refused and is willing to try to get along with her.
I wanted to bring Ye Qiu to meet the Queen, but then I thought that if it didn't work out in a few months, it would not be good for the girl to be too ostentatious.
Thinking that there would be a chance for them to spend more time together, he asked Xuanyuan Huaiyu to send Ye Qiu away.
Ye Qiu actually saw that he felt a little regretful, but what she wanted to do was not yet accomplished, and she couldn't let him regret it.
