Yan Shiyue cried loudly and nestled obediently in his arms.
Huo Qijing let her cry in silence and kept patting her back.
He didn't say until she calmed down, "Ayue, you are wrong this time."
He paused for a moment, and seeing that she didn't lose her temper, he continued, "You are too extreme! You can't tolerate any mistakes. You know that no one is perfect. You really shouldn't quarrel over such a small matter, making the emperor lose face and making everyone uncomfortable... Since you know that the responsibility is heavy, why don't you think about the impact of losing your temper with the emperor in public?"
She immediately tried to stand up, but he held her down. "Don't get angry yet. Listen to me. I'm not saying that the Qilang and Balang incident is a small matter. I'm saying that the emperor didn't understand the importance of this matter for a while... This is not surprising. This is very normal."
"There are differences in learning and specialization. Your Majesty is not a god, and you don't know everything! A summer insect cannot talk about ice, and a well frog cannot talk about the sea. It's not that the summer insect is not smart or hardworking, but that it simply doesn't have such a concept. How do you expect it to comprehend and understand it?"
He touched her head and said, "Everyone has different studies, different knowledge, and different thoughts. There is no need to force consistency... and it is impossible to force consistency."
Yan Shiyue slowly calmed down.
Huo Qijing continued, "Not understanding and not doing are two different things. You shouldn't reject the emperor for this. The emperor is a man of great talent and strategy, and he has been working hard for many years. No other emperor could have done better... The emperor has seen all your efforts. Even if he can't understand, he will choose to let you do it out of trust in you. This is really rare! And the reason why he can't understand it for the time being, I think it's because he is busy with government affairs and doesn't have time to learn!"
Is that so?
...
...
Yan Shiyue turned and looked at him.
Huo Qijing nodded to her solemnly.
Then he kissed her eyebrows soothingly, with the gentleness and calmness of a person in control of the overall situation, and slowly, bit by bit, straightened out the thorns on her body: "In this matter, you were wrong and misunderstood the emperor. Do you understand now?"
She lowered her eyes silently, and he continued, "Let's talk about the way you handle the problem. Even if the emperor is really wrong, it's not right for you to do this! He is the emperor and father! You can be close to him, but you can't take advantage of his favor and spoil him! You can't lose your temper with the emperor or your father for anything! Just think about it, if someone else loses their temper with your father, would you be very angry? Then why do you do this yourself?"
Yes, he is right.
Yan Shiyue couldn't utter a word.
He is really a member of the Huo family.
For him, loyalty and filial piety are the inviolable principles and the bottom line engraved in his bones. They are extremely important, so important that they must be addressed at all costs.
He continued, "Your temper is so quick and it's really a headache. The Emperor asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take you away. I guess the Emperor saw that you were about to lose control and get angry, so he wanted to have a quarrel behind closed doors, but you... just refused to follow him. Tell me, who can stand your temper?"
He was not speaking for Emperor Ming Yan, it was true that this emperor really gave her the softest part of his heart.
Yan Shiyue's mouth flattened and tears fell down: "But...but I was very angry at that time, I was so angry that I exploded..."
"I know." Huo Qijing said in a deep voice: "In this world, there are not many people who can make you angry to the point of losing your mind. The emperor must be one of them. I don't know whether the emperor will laugh or be angry about this special thing."
She lowered her head and cried.
Outside, the prince sighed silently and slowly walked away.
He was truly a hidden talent. He had never realized that this cold and silent brother-in-law was actually such a talented person.
He once again had an inappropriate thought... It was like putting a bridle on a wild horse, slowly, it would eventually become obedient...
In the room, Huo Qijing glanced out the window casually.
The next moment, he casually changed her position, held her face with both hands, and looked down into her eyes: "Ayue, you stay here, marry me, have children, you live peacefully, stay here with me for a hundred years...you live steadily, day by day, okay?"
She subconsciously denied: "I didn't..."
"You have," he said firmly, "you have never considered this place as your home."
She was speechless for a moment.
Huo Qijing said: "What Qu Sinian said is right. You have always given people the feeling of being a passerby. You are always in a hurry. You want to leave as many things as possible for the people you care about in this world... such as the emperor and me. You try your best to make sure we can live well when you are not around. You think that this is doing me justice."
She weakly denied again: "No..."
But I didn't dare to look him in the eyes.
In her subconscious, perhaps it was true, she felt that she was an alien in this time and space, and she always felt that she did not belong here.
Huo Qijing said: "Ayue, look at me."
She slowly raised her eyes, looking into his eyes, and Huo Qijing said word by word: "Tang Shiyue, listen carefully, since you are here, you should make the best of it... From now on, from this moment on, give up all your plans to leave, and make serious preparations to stay here forever, in this life, the next life... For all eternity, stay by my side."
He pointed his finger at her heart: "Calm down and stop thinking about anything. If you still can't do it, I will break your wings and leave you with no world but me."
Yan Shiyue was stunned for a moment.
As he said this, his expression was serious and calm, as if it was just an ordinary... A problem has arisen and I want to solve it. If ordinary means cannot solve it, I will use extraordinary means.
She hugged him tightly without saying a word and closed her eyes.
People often say that one should teach his son in public and his wife in bed, but it was not until this moment that she realized that for an ancient man like Huo Qijing, teaching his wife was really his responsibility, and it was natural for him to take it on and fulfill it.
Yan Shiyue whispered after a while: "A Jing...you must be a good father."
He smiled and said something sweet, which was rare: "I am still a good husband."
The prince hurried back to the palace, went in to change a cup of tea for Emperor Ming Yan, and then slowly recited a few sentences of Huo Qijing's words.
Emperor Ming Yan glanced at him.
The prince said seriously, "Father, I don't know who Yue'er inherited her hot temper from. When my son first met Yue'er, she was also a well-behaved little lady... Now she has become like this, maybe it's because of your father's indulgence!"
Emperor Mingyan slammed the memorial at him and cursed, "Get lost! You have become so capable! Come to tease your father!"
Gu Jiuxing said outside: "Your Majesty, the Duke and the Prince are here."
Emperor Mingyan said coldly: "What are you doing here? Let's see if I will be pissed off to death by them!"
Gu Jiuxing smiled awkwardly, and the prince said, "Ask them in."
Emperor Mingyan scolded him angrily: "You are getting more and more daring! I am not dead yet!"
The prince said, "Why don't you take advantage of your anger now and call him in to give him a beating? When your anger subsides, you will be reluctant to do it again."
Emperor Mingyan was so angry that he slammed the memorial again.
