The sun and the moon fly by, and the white horse passes by. Two years have passed in a flash, and New Year's Eve is approaching again.
At the end of the year, she seemed very busy. She finished handling political affairs early and looked forward to a good New Year. Every New Year's Eve was very lively, but this year was a little different.
Because Zhou Fan is coming back.
Two years have passed, and Southern Xinjiang is already thriving. The Feng family shipping has almost monopolized all waterways. In the past two years, many docks have been added along the way. Nowadays, waterway transportation in Southern Xinjiang, Shengtian, and the Daughter Kingdom is very convenient.
In addition to the waterway, Zhou Fan also worked tirelessly to open up the land route between the Daughter Kingdom and southern Xinjiang. Once transportation is convenient, commerce will naturally become more developed. There are many shops and high-rise buildings. In addition to commercial development, the Daughter Kingdom's tourism
The industry is also booming. There are countless tourists who come here in winter, which also drives local restaurants, inns and other businesses. Chishan City also developed from a small fishing village. In the past three years, due to environmental constraints in southern Xinjiang, the natural conditions have not been enough.
, the development is not as good as Chishan City, but relatively, it has reached the living standard of the upper-class cities in the Daughter Kingdom.
Zhou Fan has completed his task beyond the standard and received a beautiful report card.
She didn't care about these novices. She only cared that Zhou Fan was coming back. Long Tengyue had hinted to her the day before yesterday that when Zhou Fan came back, the two of them would get married.
This delay has lasted long enough, and the parents of the Long family are very worried about the emperor's son.
Xiaobai thought about this question, but did not directly answer Long Tengyue's question. He simply said that he would discuss it in detail when he came back.
Liusu also felt that it was time for a big wedding. She gave birth to Xiaobai when she was sixteen. The ancients matured early. She also hoped that Zhou Fan and Xiaobai would go well and that she could have a baby to hold.
Xiaobai has no friends. After Situ Lan's death, she has been alone. The ministers in the court also have girls and boys of the same age, but Xiaobai's temper is difficult to get along with. In the past few years, government affairs have been her only friend. She always
Friends who are always there to accompany you.
The government affairs were busy until it was almost New Year's Eve. Zhou Fan would be back in a few days. The court had prepared a very grand welcome ceremony. She had seen the details and had no objection. The people from the Ministry of Rites followed this ceremony.
After it was done, Xiaobai decided to personally lead all the officials to welcome him.
This is her respect for him, but the main reason is that she wants to see him for the first time.
"Xiao Bai, there is something I want to discuss with you." That day she was reading a memorial under the sycamore tree. Qingfeng came over and sat next to her. Xiao Bai waved to the waiting maid to step back.
"What's wrong? Is there something going on in whose house?" she asked. Qingfeng and Wuqing were like her two pairs of eyes, always staring at the ministers in the court, not allowing any disturbance.
When the world is at peace, it is more difficult to govern a country.
"That's not it." Qingfeng laughed, looking at the increasingly mature Xiaobai, he sighed, she has really grown up. The 16-year-old Xiaobai is much taller than ordinary girls, and her still a little immature facial features are now mature.
, has a mature charm. He and Qing Qing watched her grow up, and only they knew the feelings she gave.
They have long regarded her as their own daughter.
"I want to tell you something. After the new year, Qingqing and I want to resign. Are you sure?" Qingfeng said.
Xiaobai was stunned and looked up from Zhou Zhangzhong. Maybe she had never thought about this problem and always thought that these two people would accompany her for the rest of her life. Now that they were mentioned suddenly, she was a little surprised.
But when I thought about it again, it made sense.
She shouldn't and has no reason to keep them by her side for the rest of her life. Qingfeng and Qingfeng have gone through ups and downs, tortured each other and been separated for ten years. They fell in love but couldn't stay together. After a long time, the clouds cleared and the moon came out, and they spent the best eleven years together.
To her, to the daughter country.
She shouldn't be selfish and leave them alone forever.
My heart feels a little uncomfortable.
She couldn't bear to see them leave. Xiaobai didn't have any friends. He was lonely all year round. He was only surrounded by Qingfeng and Qingqing. They were gone all of a sudden. She thought she wouldn't be able to get used to it for a long time.
However, you really can't be too selfish.
"What are your plans?" Xiaobai asked softly, putting down the memorial in his hand.
Qingfeng smiled, "We plan to travel all over the world. When we were fifteen years old, Qingwu once said that he wanted to travel all over the world's mountains and rivers and enjoy all the beautiful scenery. I have always had a wish to fulfill his dream. He has always been for me.
There are too many sacrifices." Qingfeng spoke of ruthlessness, with a hint of distress on his face. His lover originally liked temples, but did not like such constraints.
In order to save his life, he was willing to work for the enemy for ten years, and finally he was willing to stay with him in the palace for eleven years. He couldn't bear it, so it was his turn to do something for him. Xiaobai has grown up, and after his wedding,
With Zhou Fan by her side, Zhou Fan taking care of her, and Zhou Fan's protection, everything would be fine for her, and he felt relieved.
"That's it." Xiaobai lowered her eyes, bit her lip, and thought thoughtfully, leaving during the New Year? After being together for so many years, she understood their thoughts, but she really couldn't bear to leave.
"Then when will you come back?"
"Let's see, it's natural to come back. Our roots are here. After traveling and playing all over, we will naturally come back. When we get old, we can come back here to enjoy our old age and adopt a few children. It's not a bad life.
." Qingfeng said with a smile. He already had a clear blueprint for the future in his heart. He had it many years ago. If it weren't for the Long family's responsibility, he would have left with Qingqing long ago.
Xiaobai paused, lowered his eyes and said nothing. Qingfeng didn't know how to continue talking to her for a moment. She raised her eyes and chuckled, "That's right. Arrange the things well and send someone you trust to take over. Come back when you want.
It’s all done.”
Qingfeng nodded and held Xiaobai's hand, "Xiaobai, thank you."
Xiaobai shook his head, "It depends on seniority. One of you is a cousin, and the other is a cousin. Which of the older brothers can accompany your sister for eleven years? I will give you two in return, which is enough."
Qingfeng also smiled.
"Well, maybe we'll leave right after the Chinese New Year. I'm thinking that your wedding to Zhou Fan will be held in the first month of the year. We'll leave after attending your wedding. Don't delay it too long."
"It doesn't matter what I say, it only takes his consent. He will be back tomorrow, so you have to ask him." Xiaobai lowered his eyes without changing his expression, covering up the slight sadness in his eyes.
Qingfeng smiled lightly, Xiaobai had always had the final say in matters between her and him.
