Zhao Delin looked at the princess who appeared before him and said, "Your Highness."
"Father..."
Zhao Delin: "Let him have some peace and quiet for now. The Regent's departure is a double blow to His Majesty."
I've never seen His Majesty so quiet before.
Di Qianyu stood outside, looking at the candlelight in the palace, and stayed outside for two hours before leaving.
A month later, Di Junlan emerged, looking at the bright sunshine under the sky, holding a jade pendant in his hand.
"His Majesty."
"His Highness has been quite busy lately..."
Emperor Junlan: "Have Li Huan assist him."
The new prime minister who took office a few years ago, Li Huan, is the son of the former prime minister, Li Mingzhong.
Zhao Delin looked at the person with a calm expression and said, "Okay."
...
"Her Highness the Princess has returned..."
Di Junlan knew about this. "She has grown up and has her own opinions."
"Your Majesty, the princess has gone to the border."
Emperor Junlan frowned slightly. "I see."
As the child grew up, his features resembled Ah Jin's. Although he had a carefree personality, when he got serious, he also resembled Ah Jin...
“I remember giving her a tiger tally.”
Zhao Delin: "His Majesty also gave one of the tiger tallies to Princess."
Di Junlan nodded, "The two siblings have a good relationship, so there's no need to worry."
Yi'er is sensible and Xiaoyu is not unreasonable; they are both very well-behaved children.
Even without him, they could manage Da Cheng well.
When Yi'er reached adulthood, A Jin made him a set of military strategy books and imperial tactics, and she also made a set for Xiao Yu... she even made a purse herself...
"They are twenty-one years old."
Zhao Delin: "We can only get married in three years."
With the regent having just passed away, observing a three-year mourning period is essential.
Di Junlan's eyes glazed over for a moment. "Oh, right, but they don't have anyone they like, so let's not consider that for now."
In the three years that followed, Emperor Junlan saw off his mother and his father-in-law.
One night, I sat outside the mausoleum, looking at the words on the tombstone.
"Ah Jin, I'm forty-six this year."
He wondered if Ah Jin had been reincarnated. He longed to go down and be with her right now, and if possible, he would like to remain five years younger than Ah Jin.
On the day he left the palace, Emperor Lan Sui naturally did not miss the distress that flashed across his son's face.
"take care of yourself."
"Father, if you are tired, remember to come back."
Emperor Junlan: "Okay."
Emperor Junlan began traveling the world, and Zhao Delin continued to follow him.
"Zhao Delin, you have served me for so many years, it's time for you to think about yourself."
"It doesn't matter who this old servant follows. Besides, Your Highness has my godson to take care of you. Your Majesty, are you disgusted by this old servant's inconvenience?"
Di Junlan smiled and said, "How could that be?"
Emperor Zhao Delin, Junlan, was only twelve years old.
Zhao Delin's face was gentle; how could he not have feelings for the child he had taken care of since childhood?
From the moment he was rescued by the Empress Dowager when he was ten years old, his heart and soul belonged to the young master.
Without His Majesty's mother, he would have died at the age of ten.
He entered the palace at the age of eight. He was afraid of the unfamiliar palace, especially after he learned that the palace was a place where people were devoured without a trace...
When he was being brutally beaten and on the verge of death, it was His Majesty's mother who saved him.
He also experienced the so-called beautiful family affection, all of which was given to him by His Majesty and His Majesty's mother.
...
A letter would be sent to the palace every month, and only after Emperor Yi received it did his expression soften considerably.
"Your Majesty, this is the latest agricultural map."
After reading it, Di Yi said, "Proceed according to this method."
"yes."
After the court session, "I must say, His Majesty has quite the demeanor of the regent in his prime."
"Doesn't Your Majesty look more and more like the Regent?"
"There are still some differences."
...
More than a decade has passed. Many veteran officials are still alive, while many others have retired due to old age, and some have naturally passed away... But now, whether they are high-ranking or low-ranking, they will always remember that they had a powerful regent...
In the second year after Emperor Junlan went on his travels, he met an old man.
"Is something on your mind, young master?"
Di Junlan looked at him and said, "No."
This old man is a fortune teller.
"The person is gone, why bother about it?"
Upon hearing his words, Di Junlan smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry."
It's probably a scam.
Di Junlan hadn't taken more than a few steps when he heard someone behind him say, "Destined for three lifetimes, we are bound to meet."
“Cheng Wang Murong, courtesy name Weijin.”
Emperor Junlan stopped and turned to look at the old man who was smiling at him. "Your Majesty."
"you……"
The old man stood up and presented something with both hands, saying, "This is for you."
Di Junlan walked back, opened it, and found a red jade pendant with black markings.
"The prince has not been reincarnated yet."
Upon hearing this, Di Junlan asked, "Do you know where she is?"
"The affairs of ghosts and spirits cannot be interfered with; everything follows the laws of nature. But Your Majesty, there is someone waiting for you in the underworld."
"Let nature take its course; do not end life directly."
Upon hearing this, Di Junlan exclaimed, "Sir, you..."
"If Your Majesty passes away before the age of fifty, your bond will be severed, and you will never meet again in the next life."
Emperor Junlan suddenly remembered what A Jin had said in her letter: "Live well, I'll be waiting for you down there, and we can continue our love story."
Thank you.
After Di Junlan left, the old man stroked his beard.
There are still two years left. I estimate that when that time comes, His Majesty will simply take his own life...
...
"Jinran, you're already twenty years old. Is there a girl you like? I'll go and propose marriage to you."
Jinran practices martial arts in the courtyard. "I don't have any thoughts about getting married right now."
Yi Liu: "Why?"
"Father, you're almost sixty. I should be getting married in my thirties."
Yi Liu: "..."
That's going too far.
"Then look at your mother..."
“I won’t follow suit. My mother is a girl, and I am a boy.”
Yi Liu: "...Then don't you have a girl you like?"
"No."
"However, His Majesty seems to be acting strangely lately..."
Upon hearing this, Yi Liu asked, "Oh? Tell me, which family's daughter does His Majesty like?"
"No, it's a little eunuch... His Majesty's attention seems to have been drawn to him, and he's been quite tolerant of that little eunuch..."
Upon hearing this, Yi Liu's expression changed.
"ah?"
Given the young master's personality, his attention would be completely drawn to the eunuchs, wouldn't it?
That definitely means he has designs on that eunuch.
Di Junlan used to harass his master, who was dressed as a man, and there were even rumors that he was gay and had a penchant for homosexuality...
