"The commitment between you and me is final, but Sister A hopes even more -"

While thinking in his mind, Li Sui heard Queen Yang's voice, and when he looked, he met Queen Yang's expectant gaze.

"In the future, besides me, there will be another person who can accompany you through the first snow of every year."

Hearing this, Li Sui poured a cup of steaming tea for Empress Yang, then pushed it to the opposite side, met Empress Yang's serious and gentle gaze, and said softly in a voice that could only be heard by two people:

"Aman already has someone he admires."

After the words fell, Li Sui immediately received the surprised and expectant look of Queen Yang. However, Li Sui was not in a hurry. He just picked up the tea cup in his hand and faced Queen Yang. Seeing this, Queen Yang picked up the cup and took a sip with Li Sui.

, just as the fragrance of tea lingered on the tip of her tongue, she heard an unexpected answer, which almost made her stunned.

"Zhao Yi."

She noticed that Queen Yang's pupils trembled, and she looked at herself blankly while holding the tea cup, as if she wanted to see something strange on her face. However, Li Sui's eyes did not dodge, but instead smiled as usual, which made Queen Yang suddenly feel

It was just an illusion.

"Aman, you——"

After thinking for a long time, Queen Yang finally spoke up: "Didn't you tell me before that you had no interaction with him?"

Hearing Queen Yang's question, Li Sui put down the tea cup in his hand, then stood up and sat beside Queen Yang, gently held Queen Yang's hand, leaned against her intimately, and recounted the conversation he had with his mother, Princess Qinghe.

Everything was said to Queen Yang.

In silence, Queen Yang looked at the person beside her, and when she saw the girl's serious eyes, she couldn't help but ponder for a long time.

It wasn't until the sound of fighting outside the corridor once again brought back Queen Yang's thoughts that she sighed silently, stretched out her right hand and intertwined the fingers of Li Sui's left hand, looked at the people in front of the corridor and said, "I didn't want you to be with him in the past.

, I’m worried that people who have been on the battlefield for a long time will become cold-hearted and ruthless——”

As she spoke, Queen Yang turned to look at Li Sui and said seriously: "But since you really like him, I believe in your choice."

"Sister--"

Meeting Li Sui's eyes, Queen Yang finally smiled slowly on her face, and repeated her original words again: "Our Aman will marry a man from a well-established family. Zhao Yi came all the way, even though he has no

He has a distinguished family background, but he can single-handedly protect the peace of a place and win the trust of the people. I believe he can do this."

Having said this, Empress Yang took Li Sui into her arms and joked in a soft and distant voice: "Our Aman is still good at picking a son-in-law."

Hearing Queen Yang's words, Li Sui felt warm and wanted to laugh. Just when she was about to say something, she heard Queen Yang next to her thinking about herself: "Zhao Yi is now twenty-two, and he should be at the age to get married.

, since he happens to be entering Chang'an this time, why not let Shiro issue an imperial edict and marry you personally, so that you can make up your mind early."

Li Sui smiled helplessly when he heard this, and quickly stood up and said: "Although my parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, I don't want to see whether Prince Yuling has a sweetheart or not, and whether he is willing-"

Before she could finish her words, Queen Yang said in a very protective voice: "There are still a few girls as good as you in the whole Zhou Dynasty, but if he really has a sweetheart, let's do it this time."

Yes, I only want you to find someone who only cares about you, but I don’t want you to share one person’s love with him as soon as you get married.”

Li Sui nodded when he heard this, and was about to say something when he heard the laughter in front of the corridor suddenly stop. In his peripheral vision, he vaguely saw a familiar figure approaching. When Li Sui looked along, he saw a man wrapped in black.

When Emperor Yuan Cheng in the big cloak came up with a smile, Li Sui's smile paused slightly, and the next moment he whispered quickly in Empress Yang's ear: "Sister, please don't tell your cousin about Zhao Yi first -"

"Yu Niang——"

After hearing this, Empress Yang smiled and glanced at the young lady standing up next to her. When she saw that Emperor Yuan Cheng had arrived at the corridor, she remained silent and only stood up to salute.

However, before she could leave the soft mattress, Emperor Yuan Cheng carefully supported her with both hands and sat back down, saying, "I heard the excitement of your place from far away in the corridor."

Touching Emperor Yuan Cheng's warm hand and his affectionate gaze, Queen Yang sat back with a smile, glanced at the people who were standing in front of the corridor with their heads bowed and no longer talking, and immediately pretended to complain: "Look, you

Once it came, they were so frightened that they did not dare to move or speak."

Following Empress Yang's gaze, Emperor Yuan Cheng suddenly realized with a smile and said: "Yes, it's my fault. You all should get up. There is no need to be polite."

Seeing what Emperor Yuan Cheng said, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They all returned to their original positions and stood there calmly. Emperor Yuan Cheng glanced at Jiamo who came forward, half of his skirt was soaked by the snow.

The slave took another look at the people who had returned home after enjoying themselves, and couldn't help but laugh and said: "That's all, go down and freshen up first. If you have to serve Fenghan, your highness will blame me again."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Queen Yang for advice. Queen Yang smiled and said angrily: "What you said makes it sound like I often make trouble unreasonably."

While speaking, without waiting for Emperor Yuan Cheng, Empress Yang turned to look at everyone and said gently: "Everyone, please go down and change your clothes."

"We can't stand here for too long, so let's go into the palace first——"

Hearing Emperor Yuan Cheng's words, Li Sui also said from the side: "What my cousin said is, sister, let's go in."

Seeing Empress Yang nodded, Chengde had already ordered the imperial servants to tie the curtains. The next moment Emperor Yuan Cheng gently supported Empress Yang, held her hand warmly, and slowly entered her.

After Jiamo and others changed their clothes, abandoned the cold air outside, and now respectfully served tea, Emperor Yuan Cheng looked at Jiamo who had returned to his former seriousness and seriousness, and turned to serve tea with him.

Li Sui, who was beside Queen Yang, smiled and said, "Today, even Jiamo rarely breaks his rules and plays with you. You can tell at a glance that it was Aman's idea."

Hearing this, Li Sui pretended to be unhappy and glanced at Emperor Yuan Cheng, but he chuckled in his heart. Jiamo always faced Emperor Yuan Cheng with a serious face, and it was not just due to his mature and prudent character.

"My cousin said this as if I was an unruly little girl, which is a bit unfair."

Upon hearing this, Empress Yang smiled and patted Li Sui's hand, and then said: "Today was my idea. You really have wronged Ah Man."

Emperor Yuan Cheng said "Oh?" in surprise when he heard this, then smiled and took a sip of tea and immediately changed his words: "The rules in this palace are complicated, so it's a good thing to relax like this."

Hearing Emperor Yuan Cheng's words, Li Sui turned to look at Empress Yang and "complained": "Sister, look, there is no one who can talk better than my cousin. Let him tell all the good and bad things."

Already."

After hearing this, Emperor Yuan Cheng looked at Empress Yang, who was signaling him to speak softly. It was rare for him to let go of the fatigue and complicated emotions of these days. He smiled knowingly and apologized to Li Sui: "I was just joking, what are you doing?"

It's just your sister's complaint against me. I'll have people from the Shanshan Bureau set up a table of roasted meats here in a while, so I can pour you some wine to make amends."

Empress Yang glanced at the girl next to her who was pretending to be satisfied, then at Emperor Yuan Cheng who had already ordered Chengde to pass the message, and smiled fondly.

Although Li Sui smiled on his face, he probably guessed the purpose of Emperor Yuan Cheng's visit, so he pretended not to know and said casually: "My cousin has always been diligent, but now he comes to make fun of me. Could it be that he wants to eat it?"

This roasted meat feast is a detour from all that."

Emperor Yuan Cheng smiled when he heard this, then thought of something, turned to look at Empress Yang, with a hint of apology in his eyes, and said slowly: "I have something to discuss with you today, the winter hunting time is approaching.

, I originally wanted to push the matter aside this year——"

While speaking, Emperor Yuan Cheng reached out to hold Queen Yang's hand, and said tenderly and with some reluctance: "Stay with you and accompany you well, and accompany the birth of the child."

After hearing this, Empress Yang seemed to understand what was going on, and then heard Emperor Yuan Cheng continue: "But I never thought that the courtiers would each give advice, and each one would make more high-sounding words than the last -"

"Winter hunting is the most important event of the year."

Empress Yang, who had always been unwilling to embarrass Emperor Yuan Cheng, heard this and immediately comforted her gently: "The courtiers are also thinking about you and the country. I have Aman, Jiamo, and people from this palace taking care of me.

You don’t have to worry about anything later.”

Having said this, Empress Yang put her hand on her lower abdomen and looked at Emperor Yuan Cheng with a smile: "We all understand how good you are to me and your children, but state affairs are the most important thing, so don't get angry with the courtiers."

Looking at the always kind and considerate eyebrows in front of him, the tenderest part of Emperor Yuan Cheng's heart was once again touched and comforted without any defense, making him unable to help but remain silent for a moment, but his eyes became more gentle and affectionate.

"Okay, then you and your child will stay in Chang'an and wait for my return safely."

Seeing Emperor Yuan Cheng's affectionate gaze as if there was no one around, Empress Yang couldn't help but glance at Li Sui, who was rarely silent next to her. Her cheeks warmed slightly, and then she changed the subject and said: "When you go out, you need to serve someone who is accompanying you. This time

The list of concubines should also be drawn up in advance—"

After hearing Queen Yang's words, Emperor Yuan Cheng thought for a moment, and then said: "Now that you are about to give birth, Concubine Shu is an old man in the palace and has always been prudent and appropriate, so he asked her to stay in the palace to take care of it. As for the person accompanying you——

"

Emperor Yuan Cheng thought for a while after saying this, and then said: "To enhance the prestige of our country, the Khan of Jieli and the Turks must go, so I just asked Yue Zhaoyi to accompany them. As for a specific plan, we will announce it to the court officials tomorrow."

It’s not too late to discuss it again at Zichen Hall.”

After hearing Emperor Yuan Cheng's decision, Queen Yang nodded, but Li Sui on the side fell into deep thought.

After a while, Emperor Yuan Cheng and Empress Yang were already talking about something else. Li Sui took advantage of the meal opportunity to retreat. When no one saw him, he gently whispered into the ears of Jiamo who exited with him.
