No one knew that before he ascended the throne, Fu Chongzhong, the fourteenth generation emperor of the Daqi Kingdom, would disguise himself and sit in a small inn in Dayan, the most remote place in the country.
Naturally, when I saw that vaguely familiar person, I was so frightened that I dropped a fine blue and white porcelain teapot and broke it.
The diners all teased me at that time, "Hey, what's wrong with the boss lady? She's so helpless. Could it be that the long-lost love finally sprouted?"
I could only grin politely and said, "I feel a little rude when a distinguished guest comes to my door. I hope you can forgive me. I will bear all the blame for today. Let's all have fun."
After saying that, he hurriedly invited Chongzhong into the private room.
We haven’t seen each other for a long time, and we are speechless. He is the King of Daqi who is about to ascend the throne. His youthful face is obviously still that of a teenager, but his eyes have added wisdom that cannot be ignored; and I am just the proprietress of a small border inn, but how can I be with him?
What to say?
"This young man doesn't look like a local. May I ask...what's the business of coming here?" There are so many ears and mouths everywhere. I can't expose his identity without 300% certainty.
Chongzhong naturally knew what I meant, so he just kept drinking my tea, and looked up at me from time to time. It took a long time, until he had already drank two pots of tea, and then he nodded and said to me
: "Come to see if my old friend is well, if he can eat and sleep, and if he will regret every decision he makes. My dear, do you think I should come?"
"Young Master, I think you have recognized the wrong person. My name is Wei Wan." I felt uncomfortable all over, as if my thoughts were being seen through. If I knew Fu Donglou would come so early...how could I hold him in his arms?
Are you looking forward to waiting for him to "abdicate and return"? I will definitely stay by his side at all times, even if I am splashed with dirt by the overt and secret fights in the harem, I will persist...
I was wrong, I really made a mistake, it was so outrageous and irreparable.
Chongzhong raised his neck angrily, "Whatever your name is, I don't want to know. I just want to ask, what did you think after he left?"
"I..." I really don't know what to say to show him my true heart, "No matter what I think, I will continue to live a good life..." and raise my and his children to adulthood.
Chongzhong had a look of understanding on his face. Before leaving, he looked at me one last time and said, "It turns out that this is the kind of life he wants."
There is no beginning or end, and I have no idea what it is about.
For the customer who dropped three gold bars to pay after drinking two pots of tea, San Yuan Si Xi's eyes flashed with gold, and he only regretted that it was not the right time for him to take the lady out for shopping.
…
On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month in the fourteenth year of Tianshou, the enthronement ceremony was held grandly. Fu Chongzhong, the eldest son of the late emperor, became emperor. The following year, the reign name was changed to: Yongle.
On the first day of the first lunar month of the first year of Yongle, Wei Jing got into a fight with someone. When she came back, her face and body were covered in mud, but she didn't even cry. She was usually a crybaby.
As night fell, I washed her and asked her for a long time before she confessed that she had a fight with Wu Dongcen from their private school, just because of the other person's words - "Did you see that the late emperor, who was always busy with everything, burped, like
Your father is so busy with everything and yet he never even looks at you. He must have been burping for a long time, so if you want to be more open-minded..."
Obviously, without thinking too much, she quickly threw Wu Dongcen to the ground and beat her severely. Thinking that this was the first time that the little boy had been treated like this, she fought back to save face.
I tied up her middle coat, stuffed the little thing into the quilt, and coaxed her to sleep, "Be good, my mother will buy you candied haws to eat tomorrow."
Watching her close her eyes, I stood up and left. When my hand touched the doorknob, I heard Wei Jing muttering in the silent atmosphere, "Mother, I don't want candied haws, I just want daddy."
I sighed and closed the door for her. When I walked into my room, I was so frightened that I couldn't move. All the shocks came at me at the same time, regardless of whether I could resist or not.
The man who appeared in the room was dressed in simple white clothes, and he looked like the finest jade. Especially the light wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seemed to tell the story of the world's vicissitudes and elegance.
Strange, yet familiar.
My brain was wandering between "could it be him" and "no, no, it can't be him", and my eyebrows became more and more wrinkled, "Sir, are you on the wrong track..."
The words were naturally cut off. The face in front of me was a bit unsettled. The dark eyes under the sharp thick eyebrows were like a newly forged sword stabbing at me. It made people want to retreat and avoid. "Who is he?"
?”
I couldn't explain the meaning of these words, but before I could ask, I was already bullied and suppressed by that person...
