Chapter 101 [Additional words] Waiting for you to fulfill the promise we made ten years ago



Palace

The Third Prince returned to the capital, and today was his first day in the palace. The struggle for the throne, which had been surging under the surface, was brought to the surface because of the Third Prince's return.

Then the prince's party was surprised to find that overnight, the third prince, who had been away from Beijing, actually had many supporters, and these supporters were spread across the six ministries.

Tutor Pei had no intention of paying attention. The emperor had already chosen a candidate for the position of Eastern Palace.

Ten years ago, if the two generals of the Jiang family had not died in battle, Concubine Jiang would have ascended to the throne long ago.

Whether it was Xie Jinghuai leading his troops out of Beijing or his current supporters, they were all secretly supported by the emperor.

It was just that the court had no military generals, so they had to make use of Concubine Lan's brother Lu Feng, which led to the rise of Prince Ji.

If there was no one available, the emperor would not have sent a top scholar to Shuzhou to suppress bandits ten years ago.

The reason why the emperor brought up the issue of the crown prince selection was just a bait. The Lu family has monopolized the military power for a long time, and the emperor wanted to divide them, and the prince was the best reason.

It just so happened that Imperial Concubine Lan and Prince Li were two short-sighted people who didn't know how to advance or retreat, and they were jumping around and making trouble everywhere.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Prince's Party will collapse in a few days.

Pei Che didn't pay attention to it, all he was thinking about was - did she find it?

The birthday gifts prepared for her by her husband had been delivered one by one in the past seven years.

For the next three years, it was kept in the secret compartment of his study and was never sent out.

She was so smart that she must have gone to the study immediately, walked in lazily, and touched an orange first.

The tangerines were placed last night, and I will not make the same mistake again. I have tasted it, it is sweet.

Before she saw the gifts, she would first look at the old things in the first compartment.

In addition to the secret compartments, there are actually many more in the warehouse.

The teacup and inkstone she smashed, the chessboard she overturned, the bow with her name on it, and the half-finished kite that she said she would fly together on March 3rd.

What a pity, the paper surface of the kite she had drawn herself had already rotted by the time she returned to Beijing, leaving only an empty frame.

Like the heart of 놛.

When I returned to Beijing from Shuzhou and went back to my villa, looking at the empty house and the empty kite stand, my heart felt empty as well.

How could such a small person occupy such a large space? As soon as she disappeared, the courtyard became empty like a corner forgotten by the wind, and even time became unusually slow.

No one steals the fresh fruit in the fruit plate, no one sweeps the ant nest in the backyard, and no matter how high the pile of fallen leaves is, no one thinks it looks like a mountain or a trampoline and has to lie down in it.

No one went around asking for credit in my name, and no one came to my house to complain, so if I got sick, no one would cross several streets to give me a bowl of apricot tea.

He knew that she treated him as a piece of driftwood. It was her instinct to grab everything she could for a child of that age, but he finally let her go.

So for all those years, she never came to see me.

Obviously, the plaque on the door of Taifu Mansion has never been changed, and it has always been inscribed with "Pei's Villa".

She didn't come, she must be complaining.

She has always been clear about what she likes and hates.

I wonder if she will be more forgiving when she sees those old things.

After looking through those old things, she should have discovered the incense boxes she collected from the Chenxiang Workshop.

Just like the horses at the east city horse farm, they couldn't bear to see her sad or suffer any injustice.

In Mr. Meng's reply letters, he would always praise her, praising her for becoming more well-behaved and more quiet.

Jiang Shiyuan has become a quiet girl, but you know, she is probably unhappy.

Therefore, I wish I could give her the whole world as compensation, let alone a horse and a perfume shop.

I can train horses for her so that she can ride with peace of mind, I can secretly help her become famous, but there are things I can't do anything about.

There was no way to make Chen Luchu cherish her, nor was there any way to make Chen Luchu love her. She could only watch her sincerity being betrayed again and again.

But if Chen Luchu cherished her, how could we be where we are today?

Maybe everything is predetermined by fate, and it is not up to you.

Pei Che returned his thoughts to the "gift", and he didn't know whether she liked the gift he prepared.

Do you feel that your gaze is an offense, a kind of prying?

Pei Che was a little uneasy, and this uneasy feeling lasted until he returned to the government office after the court was dismissed, and handed the Ministry of Revenue's document to Li Qing, the official of the Ministry of Works.

Such a mistake has never happened before.

Li Qing smiled secretly, found his clerk on the table, and expressed his understanding: "It's normal for newlyweds to make mistakes."

Pei Che also smiled and asked, "The baby is about to be one month old, right?"

Li Qing was flattered. Master Pei actually still remembered him?

Li Qing grinned and took out an invitation from his bosom: "Full Moon Banquet, if you are free, come and have a drink with Madam."

I think my son would like this kind of excitement.

Pei Che answered, "I will definitely go."

The corners of Li Qing's mouth almost stretched to his temples. Chatting closely with Master Pei was much more satisfying than applying for approval of documents.

Then, is he now considered the only person among the six ministries who has had a drink with the Grand Tutor and has had a close personal relationship with him?

Li Qing turned to leave, but Pei Che suddenly stopped him, "How long have Lord Li and Madam Li known each other?"

Li Qing was stunned, then smiled and said, "My wife and I have known each other since we were young, but she and her family moved to another place. We haven't seen each other or contacted each other for many years. She and I are thousands of miles apart, and I thought we would never be in touch again."

"Suddenly one day, I received a letter from her. She said her family wanted to arrange a marriage for her."

Li Qing's eyes suddenly lit up. "She asked me, 'Li Qing, do you want to marry me?'"

"I took her letter and rode straight to her without even a change of clothes."

After Li Qing finished speaking, he scratched his head in embarrassment: "I hurried to get her, but when I got there, she looked like neither a human nor a ghost. I almost died."

"Fortunately, she doesn't despise me and agreed to my proposal." Li Qing smiled foolishly.

Pei Che also smiled.

If Yuan'er marries 놛, she should not despise 놛.

I don't dislike your boredom, I don't dislike your rigidity, I don't dislike your anxiety and excessive demands.

Pei Che focused his attention for a moment and quickly took care of 꿛꿗's business.

I want to go back early, bring her favorite braised lion head, and see her earlier.

It was earlier than expected. When Pei Che came out of the government office, it was not yet the evening hour.

But as soon as he walked out of the yamen, an excited call came towards him.

"Pei Che——"

Jiang Shiyuan ran towards 놛's arms without any scruples, like a gust of wind.

"I'll pick you up." She looked up and smiled, her face flushed by the cold wind.

"Why did you come out so early? I almost missed you."

Pei Che chuckled and wrapped her in his cloak, "I wanted to see you, so I came out early."

Jiang Shi was willing to enjoy it, so he stood on tiptoe and kissed 놛's chin.

"I found the gift, but I haven't opened it yet. I'm waiting for you."

"I'll wait for you to fulfill the promise we made ten years ago."
