Chapter 125 Chapter 124 How can sorrow and hatred be avoided?

The Xuanyu Guards and the Dingyuan Army gave Pei Yi enough respect. No one cared about the existence of the watchtower, and no one cared about who was left in Pei Yi's house.

So Pei Yi lowered Wanglou's stunned head without any scruples and made her words come true one by one.

Wanglou's lips were trembling. First he couldn't believe his ears or what was happening. Then he hugged Pei Yi tightly and kissed until both of them were panting and had to separate.

This kind of unreserved sweetness with no need to hide anything and no need to care about anything made Wanglou keep kissing Pei Yi's cheeks and forehead, just wanting to use kisses to confirm the reality of this moment.

Pei Yi's fingertips traced his scar, and she felt sorry for how painful it was when he was punished. She felt even more sorry for the fact that he who should have been laughing freely in southern Xinjiang had been tortured like this before he became the taciturn person he was when they first met.

A chamberlain who also has a measured approach to advancement and retreat.

How could she push him away? Even if it was just out of selfishness, she could not abandon this scarred snake in the vast world again after he finally recognized his master, leaving him alone with nowhere to go.

"Don't leave tonight, Wanglou."

His room was next door, but she didn't want him to leave.

"Just stay with me."

Wanglou still didn't speak, but he picked up Pei Yi, blew out the candles, and put her on the bed.

Pei Yi moved to the bed, watching the dark figure standing by the bed slowly lying next to her, then holding her hand, leaning against her shoulder, and then turning sideways to get closer to her.

Face.

"...can I sleep with you from now on?"

His heartbeat was so heavy and fast that she could hear his heartbeat from such a close distance.

She hugged his waist and rested her head on his arm, nodding vigorously.

"I'm serious, as long as you want."

His hands seemed to be disobedient, touching her shoulders and touching her hands. He simply didn't know how to position his hands and feet even when sleeping.

In the end, it was Pei Yi who couldn't help but chuckle that made Wanglou adapt to being hugged by her, and put his other hand on her waist and stopped moving.

But until Pei Yi fell asleep, she could feel his breathing coming closer from time to time and the kiss on the top of her hair, which made her fall asleep with full heart and joy.

The road ahead is bleak, but tonight I just need to be gentle.

Let’s talk about the Chinese Valentine’s Day.

This day is not a holiday. After all, few of the courtiers have time to think about the love between men and women. Instead of muttering about the empress's unkindness, it is better to think about whether there is anything out of the ordinary that Xiao Qi is watching.

superior.

For this plan, the place where they could gather together and talk in low voices without being overheard by the ubiquitous Xuan Yusi spies was actually on the long palace road after the dynasty.

The white marble bricks on this section of the road may have never been exposed to so many conspiracies and intrigues since the beginning of the Liang Dynasty. You, sir, are almost polishing the jade bricks until they are shiny enough to be seen.

"It's not okay to go on like this. I have experienced three dynasties and I have seen the storm, but this new emperor doesn't even have any hobbies. He works all day long. The commotion this month will cost me at least three years of my life..."

"Master Qiu, don't say that. Those who can still complain a few words now have already accumulated virtues from their ancestors. Alas, being scolded by His Majesty is better than having the Lord of Hell come to your door, right?"

"Master Li is right. However, Master Qiu's words remind me that when a new emperor ascends the throne, the first priority is to expand the palace and reproduce the emperor's heirs. Although your Majesty is not a man, his food and sex habits are not as good as ours."

Let me ask your Majesty to choose some men from good families..."

"Hey, this is inappropriate, inappropriate! How can there be any reason for a man to be a concubine?"

Mr. Qiu stroked his beard and left quickly.

"Master Qiu, wait a minute. Chief Feng's words are not unreasonable. You don't know something. I heard from my colleagues in Dali Temple that Master Lu Zhong intended to dedicate his second son to His Majesty..."

However, Mr. Li pulled his sleeve and whispered a few words to him.

Chief Feng had been an official for many years but had few opportunities for promotion. His official rank was not high, so he really wanted to seize this opportunity and let Mr. Qiu take the lead in signing the letter, so he added fuel to the fire:

"In the final analysis, what difference does it make between a son and a daughter? As long as it satisfies His Majesty, although there are only two legitimate sons in my family, and they are too old to be suitable, there are legitimate sons. The two adults should be more capable than me.

Is it right to make a choice?"

The other courtiers who were eavesdropping on the conversation of several people around them also became more active and approached Mr. Li of Dali Temple and quietly asked Lu Zhong about his plans.

Everyone knows that Lu Chong's second son is not as stable as his father and brother, and has often caused trouble for the Lu family. Such a son cannot hope to bring glory to his ancestors, but his appearance is good. If he can win His Majesty's favor, what's wrong with him?

Whose family doesn't have such children and grandchildren? When it comes time to sell their children for glory, it's unlikely that these ministers, who have always favored sons over daughters, won't be tempted.

When they were waving flags and shouting for Wei Anxing's position as the crown prince, some people indeed had the desire to have a stable country and a pure bloodline, just because if Wei Huai'en gave birth to a son, it would inevitably confuse the Daliang inheritance.

However, what if my son has the opportunity to give birth to a child with Her Majesty the Empress?

Even if they just think about it, even if they all know that once their son enters the palace, the empress will definitely be asked by the ministers to give them the medicine to eliminate the heir.

But what if? In other words, how is this different from sending a daughter to the late emperor?

The next day, Wei Huai'en really got a joint letter and urged Wei Huai'en to select a son to serve in the palace. I don't know how Ruan Yan manages the etiquette department, but he actually added a list and prepared a promotion banquet for the next holiday.

.

This guy usually does things with foresight and foresight, he is neither greedy nor corrupt, but his abilities are mediocre. However, he is so efficient at this kind of thing. He only needs Wei Huaien's nod to act immediately.

Wei Huai'en looked at the densely packed joint signatures and was so helpless that he didn't know what to say.

"Little aunt, Xing'er has finished her homework, take a look."

In the imperial study room, Wei Anxing finished writing the big characters on the small couch and memorizing the book. He happily ran to Wei Huai'en and tiptoed his homework on her desk as if to take credit.

The little baby looks different every day, and Wei Anxing is already much taller than in the New Year. But the desk is too high, and the throne is also high. Although Wei Huaien has never frowned at him, he would rather put his homework on the desk with difficulty.

I didn't dare to put it on Wei Huaien's lap casually.

"Come."

Wei Anxing was held in Wei Huai'en's arms, and the watch he was looking at was spread out in front of him.

"Read it to your aunt and let her see how many words Xing'er knows."

Wei Anxing did not know some of the words, but he was smart enough to read the entire text without even guessing the context. Wei Huai'en rubbed his little face and asked him in a good mood what reward he wanted.

"Aunt, I heard from Weng Weng that the mother-in-law is coming back, right..."

Le Wuyou, who was standing at the entrance of the palace, buried his head almost touching his round belly. It seemed that he had spilled the beans in front of Wei Anxing.

"Yes, Xing'er will be able to see her soon."

Wei Huaien glanced at Le Wuyou coldly, and answered Wei Anxing softly.

"Then... Xing'er wants to live with his mother and concubine in the palace, is that okay, little aunt?"

The child timidly put forward his request, not knowing what this ordinary wish meant to him now. He only knew that Wei Huai'en's smile suddenly lost a little warmth, making him understand that he should not ask for anything.

This reward.

"Isn't it good to be in the palace? If Xing'er is lonely, he often comes to play with aunt. Tell aunt, should I approve the book you just read?"

Wei Anxing nodded:

"That's right. There are many people in the eldest aunt's house. My eldest aunt is the emperor, so why is there no one there?"

That's right, even if she didn't have this intention, there was no reason to refuse. So Wei Huai'en took Wei Anxing's little hand and drew a circle on the fold, confirming the promotion banquet.

After resting enough, Wei Huai'en rubbed Wei Anxing's little face again and called Le Wuyou over to take him away.

"Study hard these days, and wait until your mother-in-law comes back to make her happy."

"I know, aunt!"

After seeing off Wei Anxing, Wei Huai'en continued to read the book. The pages in the royal study were rustling, and the footsteps of the palace servants who occasionally came to add tea were barely audible. Not a single extra glance dared to look at the book spread out on Wei Huaien's table.

cast a glance.

Even Xiao Qi could no longer pry into the empress's thoughts, and no one's informants could deliver the news out of the forbidden palace alive.

Two days later, dinner party.

Xiao Qi patrolled the capital camp for several days and rushed back to Xuanyu Division at sunset. He planned to go through the case files and go to the palace to report to Wei Huaien tomorrow, but he heard that the palace had summoned many young talents from the capital.

Even the rumor of sealing off the male queen spread like wildfire.

"Who handed me the discount? Who!"

Xiao Qi was so angry that he almost lost his mind. Xuan Yuwei, who was delivering the message, was so frightened that he stammered that it was a joint book. Before he finished speaking, Xiao Qi's figure was no longer visible.

All the blood in his body rushed to the top of his head. He only knew that he had to stop all this. He had no time to think about anything else, and he couldn't even think of anything else.

At this time, those men had already entered the palace. When Xiao Qi rode his horse past the palace gate, he was squeezed and jostled by their carriages and horses.

Rushing to the banquet place.

"Master? Why are you here like this?"

Ming Feng had sharp eyes and quickly ran out from Wei Huaien and stopped Xiao Qi, whose eyes were burning.

"Get out of the way! Let me in!"

Seeing that something was wrong, several chamberlains hugged their legs and waist to stop the furious Xiao Qi. There was a lot of sound of silk and bamboo at the banquet, and Xiao Qi could hear the sound of someone talking loudly and showing off their knowledge while standing in the corridor.

He was so angry that he was really going to be so angry.

He recognized that Wei Huai'en was heartless and ungrateful, and she hated him and disliked him after ascending the throne. But hadn't she said long ago that she would not marry any man, let alone look down on a man who wanted to share power with her?
