Chapter 253: The Crown Prince Regents the State, His Father Is in Danger
Ji Qingwu lay on his back in the grass, holding a heavy little kid in his arms.
She called softly, "Your Highness Yuan Heng."
Zhao Yuanheng hummed maturely and replied, "It's me."
He just heard the news from the young eunuchs today that Ji Qingwu had come to the palace.
In recent days, she often appears around her father.
Yuan Heng looked around at the gate of Qinzheng Hall for a long time during the day but didn't see anyone. Later that day, he went to the vicinity of Zhaoyang Hall to try his luck.
I actually met him.
He hid behind a tree and followed Ji Qingwu all the way. He saw that she seemed to be tired and squatted on the ground. He didn't know what she was doing, but her shoulders were shrugging.
Yuan Heng thought she was crying.
He didn't expect that his appearance would scare her. He wanted to hold her back, but he didn't have enough strength.
Suddenly he was pulled into a soft embrace, and his little face showed a little discomfort.
Ji Qingwu felt a little empty in his heart, and just in time, a little guy came to him.
She held on to him and refused to let go.
Zhao Yuanheng had never lay on anyone like this before, and he was lying in the grass, which was really unbecoming of his princely dignity.
He hesitated and said, "You, let me go first."
Ji Qingwu held her tighter, saying, "I won't let go. Why should I let go?"
Yuan Heng was forced to lean on her shoulder, looking at the grass beneath her, his little eyebrows frowned.
But when he smelled the fragrance coming from her body, Heimu struggled for a moment, and finally quietly changed to a comfortable position, nestling quietly in her arms.
Lying on the grass, Ji Qingwu felt more down to earth. He didn't want to get up and kept this posture.
She asked, "Why is your Highness here?"
Yuan Heng looked at the embroidery on her collar and said, "Let's take a walk."
Then he asked her, “Why did you come here?”
Ji Qingwu didn't know how he got here, nor where he was. Not far away was a palace he had never seen before.
Her voice was a little depressed, and she said, "Relax."
The two of them took a walk and came to Anhua Palace, the most remote palace in the palace.
Yuan Heng whispered, "Did you have a quarrel with your father?"
Ji Qingwu paused. Could this be considered a quarrel?
She shook her head and said insincerely, "Who dares to quarrel with the emperor? Do you want to die?"
Yuan Heng raised his eyes, looked at her delicate chin, and said, "I heard noises in the hall, and there was a sound of something being thrown."
Is the little guy outside the temple?
How much did he hear...
Ji Qingwu touched his head gently, trying to comfort him.
"It was just something that was accidentally broken. There was no quarrel or anything."
Yuan Heng didn't believe her and asked, "Then why are you crying?"
Ji Qingwu's eyes widened and he looked down at him: "I wasn't crying, you saw it wrong."
Yuan Heng's small hand touched her face and it was indeed dry.
"Your father..."
"My father..."
The two of them spoke at the same time, and everything they wanted to talk about was about the emperor.
Yuan Heng said: "You speak first."
Ji Qingwu sighed and said, "I want to say that your father's temper has really made you suffer over the years."
Yuan Heng nodded in understanding: "Father is just like this. I've gotten used to it a long time ago. But the deeper the love, the more severe the criticism."
He looked up and said very seriously: "It's not easy to be an emperor. There are many things to deal with every day. It's inevitable that you will feel irritated sometimes. Please don't be disappointed in him. Give him another chance."
At this moment, Ji Qingwu's mood had calmed down a lot.
It's not just a feeling of loss, but more of a sense of wonder.
She didn't believe that everything that happened before was fake. The affection she had for Emperor Wu Su was not something she heard, but was accumulated from their interactions bit by bit.
Just like drops of spring rain gathered into a vast lake, gradually reflecting her feelings hidden deep at the bottom of the lake.
The way the emperor treated her was definitely not a cheap way of playing with her feelings.
What exactly happened, or what was going to happen, that would cause Emperor Wu Su to change so drastically?
Ji Qingwu bit her lips lightly and frowned slightly.
Seeing her with her eyes downcast and not saying anything, Yuan Heng's eyebrows were twisted together.
"Otherwise, you hold on for a few years, and when I can govern the country, I will--"
Ji Qingwu covered his little mouth with his hand.
Her eyes trembled. Is it okay to say this? !
The person who serves as regent is always the crown prince, and this will most likely happen when the emperor is seriously ill or is about to abdicate.
Ji Qingwu lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, be careful of what you say. If someone with ulterior motives hears it, they will inevitably make a big fuss about it."
Yuan Heng pulled her wrist and said in a muffled voice, "I am the only prince of my father. This is an unspoken fact."
Whether or not to confer the title of crown prince is just a superficial effort.
That’s true, Ji Qingwu slowly loosened his hand.
Yuan Heng continued to persuade her: "When I am able to supervise the country or rule the country myself, father will not be burdened with so many political affairs. Without worries, his temper will naturally become better."
Ji Qingwu answered simply.
"Then let's just hold him down!"
She couldn't bear to leave the little guy behind. He was still young, but he had to bear such a heavy burden of the country.
It would be better to choose the lesser of two evils and let Emperor Wu Su continue to worry.
Ji Qingwu removed his hand, pinched his little face, and said softly, "Just grow up well and don't think so much."
Yuan Heng rescued his face from her hands and said seriously: "When you are in a position, you must do your job. I am only thinking about my job."
Ji Qingwu sighed in his heart. When it comes to responsibility, Emperor Wu Su had taught Yuan Heng very well.
Seeing that she was still unmoved, the little guy said worriedly: "Are you going to leave the palace? It has not been easy for our father these years, please don't abandon him, okay?"
Ji Qingwu thought Yuan Heng came to comfort him, but it turned out that he was here to plead for his father.
"I haven't thought about it yet."
Sensing his worry, she stroked his back.
"Do you want me to stay in the palace?"
Yuan Heng stared at her with his dark pupils, and after a while he buried his little face in her chest.
He said in a muffled voice: "I really want to."
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the two of them, one big and one small.
Ji Qingwu looked at the orange-red sun halo, and his heart was filled with densely entangled threads of love.
Thinking of Emperor Wu Su's cold words that he didn't want her to appear in front of him again.
Ji Qingwu snorted coldly, that would have to wait until she was tired of it.
Yuan Heng looked up and saw that her expression had changed from its usual calm and gentle state, with the setting sun reflected in her eyes.
But it is not as lonely as the setting sun, instead it seems to carry sparks that are enough to start a prairie fire.
Yuan Heng withdrew his gaze silently.
It's dangerous.
His father.
The two of them admired the sunset before getting up, and Ji Qingwu brushed the dust off his body.
The skirt has already been splashed with soup, so it won't be a pity if it gets a little dirtier.
Ji Qingwu looked at Yuan Heng.
"Turn around."
Yuan Heng moved obediently, and Ji Qingwu reached out and patted Yuan Heng's little butt.
He covered his buttocks and stared in shock: "Am I going to be implicated too?"
