Chapter 52: Chapter 51(1/2)
Chapter 52 Chapter 51 Will want to take it
"You will definitely get what you want. Mingzhou doesn't matter, Xiao Qi will definitely clear the obstacles for you."
"If I could really treat them as obstacles, I wouldn't have to be so angry."
Wei Huai'en picked up a book of Mingzhou Anecdotes and walked to him and sat on the carpet to read it with him.
"What's sad is that the ordinary people were deceived by this trick. They have no idea that the clan is just to be the one who puts pressure on them and enjoy the privileges they have longed for all their lives.
He also struggled with the relationship between his eldest son and his legitimate son. People with the same surname suppressed people with other surnames, and women were inferior to men.
Look at this case of property dispute between two houses and the fact that relatives are still so excluded. How can such people talk about propriety, justice, integrity, loyalty and filial piety?
Is the Tian family noble enough? But how did my father come to power? Where are the previous royal families now?
Xiao Qi, I can't stand those talkative people more and more, who are used to using big principles to suppress my literati. I feel disgusted when I see their faces. Even if they clearly say that they are consolidating their interests and favoring boys over girls,
I still think I can afford them.
You see in this book, speaking up means family, talking means making sacrifices. It turns out that as long as you are related to the clan, you will not be regarded as a human being.
Women are the currency they use to win over and make friends, and men use their flesh and blood to reap the benefits.
Why are cancers like this growing everywhere in my fiefdom and my country?
On this page, the daughter of 28-year-old Hua was married off to an old man. It was euphemistically called repaying a favor. Why didn't he become that old man's concubine himself?
That girl was so pitiful that she was even remembered as a legend and a poem was written in her praises.
Reading page after page, I can't imagine what kind of life the women there once lived. It may have changed in the past few years, but what if I fall? What if I don't help them support them?
What's even more ridiculous is myself. Not to mention whether I can eventually become the first female emperor of this dynasty, even if I ascend to that position, how much can I change?
The soldiers who guard me and the civil servants who are loyal to me may come from poor families, so they are willing to fight against the nobles for their own sake and to be loyal to me.
But they are all men, and when I want to cut off the cognition they are accustomed to, my enemies will be everywhere in the world.
Do I dare?
So who am I? A prince who was entrusted with a daughter? An empress domesticated by the rules of king, king, minister, father, father and son?
What about myself? Who am I?”
Page after page, book after book, Wei Huai'en didn't know whether he was looking at cold records in black and white on white paper, or drops of blood and tears.
"You are always different from anyone I have ever seen."
The fist clenched on the booklet was wrapped by his big hand, Wei Huaien's fingers slowly loosened, and his fingertips slipped into the gaps between her fingers, interlocking with hers.
He knelt beside her and stretched out his long arms to surround her, like a shadow that would always follow her, firmly supporting her.
"My slave only knows that no matter what you do, my slave will always be by your side."
Wei Huai'en turned his head to look into his clear phoenix eyes and curled his lips into a smile:
"Because I saved you?"
He shook his head.
"Not only that. It's also because you once told the slaves in the East Palace that even eunuchs should not be inferior to others."
"But don't you think I'm hypocritical? Because I still enjoy your service and let you all act according to my eyes."
She relaxed her straight back and leaned into his arms.
The aroma of wine is intoxicating, and it seems that the barriers have never existed. They are not clinging to each other just because of love, but because they share the same secret that cannot be tolerated by the world.
She knew that only Xiao Qi would listen carefully to all her shocking ideas and tolerate her radical or biased ideas.
Just like a fearless bird that rushes straight into the low hanging clouds, it knows that even when it falls from the sky exhausted and unable to do so, there will be a soft bird's nest waiting for her to return.
Xiao Qi is like a vine that relies on her big tree to climb up, and like a symbiotic partner with her.
Although she enlightened him and made him a puppet who only obeyed her orders, she seemed unable to break away from him and was unwilling to share her efforts with others.
He greedily absorbed her nutrients and grew little by little, and she became completely familiar with him, trusted him, and could no longer say hurtful words to make him leave.
Even if it is an annoying thing, if you face it every day and want to see it day and night, you will get used to its existence, let alone Xiao Qi, whose fate is entangled with her.
"You can make the slave stand up from the mud, but you can't change the eyes of others, nor can you change the slave's identity. Wynn, you have done a good job, and all of us are grateful for your kindness.
You just want to do too many things and you will feel that you are not good enough. But as long as you are in court, the things you have done are changing the world."
Every word Xiao Qi spoke softly penetrated into Wei Huaien's softest heart, ironing out her self-doubt. She knew that these emotions were just because she was too disappointed with Mingzhou, and she was afraid that the difficulties of suppressing bandits this time would undermine her prestige.
It is difficult to convince the public.
That's why she locked herself in her room for several days and thought about every plan. In fact, she didn't want Xiao Qilai to give her confidence or affirmation, because only she knew what she wanted to do, and no one else could help her.
But in this way, she didn't have to think too much about anything. She just needed to find a comfortable position in his arms to relax her body after being at the desk for too long, and she could already narrow her eyes like a clingy little raccoon slave.
"Then do you still need to say it? What's the use of being so sweet? Have you thought about what I want to say?"
She was never forgiving, and Xiao Qi, who secretly hugged her, didn't react to this turn of events for a moment, and she didn't rush him, because she was resting on his heartbeat.
"Are you still angry with me?"
He spoke carefully, paying close attention to every change in her expression.
"What do you think?"
"I……"
It's back to the deadlock that it was when we just entered. What's even more frightening is that Xiao Qi has completely forgotten all the drafts he had made.
I have never heard that beauty can mislead people, but will a eunuch also become distraught just because a beauty is in his arms?
Xiao Qi pursed his lips and held it in for a long time before he remembered Dongqing's advice.
"I did something wrong. You should be angry with me. You can punish me no matter what. But I want to see you, Wynn. You have been neglecting me for six days. I miss you every day. I'm sorry, please stop.
Turn a blind eye to me."
Don't be led away by the girl's questions, admit your mistake directly, and then show off your face. As long as the girl still has feelings for you, she will never give you a cold face again.
Sure enough, Wei Huaien opened his eyes and looked at him. Xiao Qi took her hand and kissed her fingertips gently, then put her tender skin on his face.
He knew that she liked her appearance, so while Wei Huai'en was confused by his pleading and appearance, he slowly came closer and placed a pious kiss on her forehead.
His breath enveloped her, making her feel his presence as powerfully as that confusing night. A heat suddenly spread in her blood, and the tips of her ears were dyed rouge by his teasing.
.
He wanted to continue the kiss, and she realized that she was almost being put down on the carpet by him. She suddenly woke up and quickly pushed him away and stood up.
"Xiao Qi, you are a bastard!"
She rubbed her face to get rid of the lingering heat, said something half angry and half angry at Xiao Qi who was lying on the ground, and raised her feet to leave.
Xiao Qi quickly grabbed the hem of her skirt and held her tight without letting go:
"Yes, the slave is a bastard. The slave will accept whatever you say, but can the slave stay tonight?"
"let go!"
She tried to pull the skirt out of his hands.
"Not loose."
His other hand directly held her bare ankle.
"Wynn, don't be so heartless to me..."
"Okay! I agree! Let go now, I'm going to take a shower!"
With her permission, Xiao Qi finally let go of her.
Dongqing's plan was more effective than he expected. Seeing Wei Huai'en's angry back disappear behind the screen, Xiao Qi stood up slowly, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
As long as it makes Wei Huai'en happy, it doesn't matter what he does. At least this time her anger is not directed at his disability, so he has no scruples and can stay by her side until she forgives him.
But if there comes a day when she feels that his body is an eyesore, then even if he cuts off the flesh and bones, he will not be able to win her back.
He doesn't think that a lover must accept and tolerate everything about the other person, even the shortcomings. He can do this, but he definitely doesn't expect Wei Huai'en to do the same to him.
Don't care too much about him, don't understand him too much, and don't be interested in everything about him.
He just wanted her to love him superficially, which was enough. He couldn't give more and couldn't afford it. He was afraid that after she exposed his disguise, she would see the black mud inside him.
It's not that he doesn't want much, it's just that he's afraid that she won't be able to fall in love with all of him.
Mingzhou Fucheng.
The third day of February.
Meng Keshu could no longer bear Li Kong.
The school had already started, and after Li Kong brought her back to his mansion, he did not restrict her access and allowed Pinyan to continue to accompany her.
Meng Keshu decided to leave that day just because she was fed up with Li Kong's surveillance and testing. In fact, she couldn't let go of her students.
But what made Meng Keshu finally decide to stay was not only this reason, but also because the gold ring locked on her ankle was not connected to the chain like before, locking her in the house like an animal.
She was even prepared to die when he forcefully brought her back, but she didn't expect that Li Kong took out another larger gold ring and locked it around her neck. The gold chain was strung together, and the other end was her ankle.
To be continued...
