It was March of the fourth year of Yuanli Jihe. It was the time of late spring. There were various peanut trees and the grass was growing and warblers were flying.
Ten miles outside the palace, there are lush green hills. Ten miles away, the Fuyao flower blooms and turns into fire. The fragrance wraps around a peaceful place halfway up the mountain. It is astounding to the nostrils.
"Qing Nian. Come here and offer some incense to your mother." The man in the imperial uniform with black background and purple stripes waved. Not far away, the little boy who moved quickly and touched the butterfly responded. He ran to clean the tombstone obediently. He lowered his head to burn incense in front of him. His serious expression was comforting.
He respectfully put the incense in place. The tiger-headed little boy threw himself into the man's arms. He pouted and seemed a little unhappy: "Father, they all say that Qing Nian looks like her mother. But Qing Nian has never seen her before. Mother, how do you know if they look like each other? Father, do you think Qing Nian looks like him?"
"Let Father take a closer look." Yi Chenjing, who was already the Emperor of Dayao, pretended to look carefully. After a moment, he showed a soft smile. "Qing Nian does look like my mother. Especially her eyes. They are very beautiful." [
"Then...is my mother beautiful? Is she as beautiful as Aunt Ye Zi?"
Yi Chenjing chuckled softly. He shook his head and picked up Qing Nian: "Your Aunt Ye Zi is a stubborn monkey. She dared to jump up and down while pregnant with a child and got herself covered in dust. How could she be so beautiful?" She looked up at the fallen flowers. Tombstone. Yi Chenjing slowly dissipated his smile. There was a hint of reminiscence in his eyes: "Qing Nian's mother is very beautiful. She is the most beautiful woman my father has ever seen. No one in the palace can compare with her. It's a pity that your mother is She suffered a lifetime of hardship and died too early. She didn’t even leave a portrait behind. Otherwise, little Qing Nian would have known how beautiful my mother was.”
"Ah, my mother is so beautiful. Then Qing Nian looks like my mother. Isn't she also very beautiful?"
Yi Chenjing was stunned for a moment. Then he said, "Qing Nian. Boys need to be bold. What they need is not beauty. Do you understand?"
Qing Nian tilted her little head and nodded in understanding. She turned around and saw the person walking behind Yi Chenjing. She immediately jumped out of Yi Chenjing's arms and flew towards the person.
"You are talking nonsense to children again. You are not serious in a day. Be careful to teach bad children." She scolded Gentle Qingnian with a smile. A plain and graceful woman in a long skirt led a boy who was slightly younger than Qing Nian with her left hand. On her right She held a baby girl in her arms. The breeze blew her veil, revealing her fair and delicate face.
He quickly stepped forward to pick up the sleeping baby girl. Yi Chenjing took the woman's hand and kissed her forehead lightly: "Qi Ge. Why did you come here?"
Blushing slightly, she avoided Yi Chenjing's unabashed "hooliganism". Bai Qige handed the little boy she was holding on her left hand to Qing Nian: "Qing Nian, take your brother to play there. Don't go too far." Look. The two children ran hand in hand to catch butterflies and had a great time. Bai Qige breathed a sigh of relief and answered Yi Chenjing's question without complaining: "It's not like you, the father, don't know the number of premature births of Yuan'er. Yue has a weak constitution. You must not dress him up and explain carefully before going out. After Yu Che married into the prince's house, I didn't even have a satisfactory helper. I was always busy raising these two children alone. head."
"I know, I know. I'll ask Fu Chu to bring Li'er into the palace to stay with you in a few days, okay? There's also Qingyuan. You don't have to worry too much. Didn't the imperial doctor and Fu Chu both say, wait until he grows up? Your body will gradually recover." He lowered his head and teased his little daughter who had been woken up. Yi Chenjing's face showed the doting smile of a father.
Her eyes swept across the quietly erected tombstone. Bai Qige suddenly sighed softly.
"If Mrs. Qi knew that her child would grow up to be strong, strong and smart, she would feel at ease. She has suffered a lifetime of torture but still chose to follow Yi Chenxuan. I don't know if she has ever regretted it."
"She must have calculated that you would adopt Qing Nian. That's why she wrote you that letter." Yi Chenjing raised her hand to brush away a fallen flower on the tombstone. Yi Chenjing lowered his voice, as if he didn't want Qing Nian nearby to hear it.
"I'm six years old now. I plan to tell him everything about Brother Five Emperors when he gets older. You have to help him think about whether he should accept his identity or choose to escape."
Bai Qige was silent for a moment and sighed lightly: "It's rare that you are willing to call him Emperor Brother."
"The longer time goes by, the less I hate him... I am one of those people who heals his scars and forgets the pain." Yi Chenjing laughed dumbly and shook his head with self-deprecation. "Actually, I always remember the treatment that Brother Five Emperors treated me when I was young.
He took care of me. And although he yelled fiercely, he always showed mercy to my father and me. I think the medicine that the fifth emperor brother gave my father was probably not a poison but an antidote. Otherwise, my father would not persist.
It took him so long to die; and there was also the medicine he left for Mrs. Qi to induce pregnancy. Didn’t Senior Poison Doctor tell me later that the medicine seemed fierce and overbearing, but in fact it would slowly resolve after the person who took the medicine became pregnant. Otherwise, I
There will be no more two children, Qingyuan and Qingyou. Maybe, even you will lose. After all, we are brothers after all, and we still have to show our due respect."
Recalling the thrill of the day when she was crowned queen, Bai Qige still had lingering fears. She felt a little relieved when she held Yi Chenjing's warm and dry palm tightly.
After three days and three nights of painful torture and death test, she gave birth to the second prince Qingyuan on the fourth day after the seal. Although she was only less than two months pregnant, Qingyuan was born with the size of six or seven under the influence of pregnancy-inducing drugs.
A 1-month-old child is normal. However, premature babies are physically weak and can be avoided. Three and a half years later, she miraculously became pregnant with Yi Chenjing's child again. This time, she gave birth to his first princess, Karen Yi.
God finally brought her good luck. The happiness in the world is within his grasp.
The breeze blew gently. The infant Qingyou stretched out her little hand and grabbed Yi Chenjing's finger. She cried twice and fell asleep peacefully. Yi Chenjing took Bai Qige and sat under the shade of the tree. They snuggled together and looked at the two people in the distance.
The two sons are playing happily.
"I'm really afraid that Qing Nian and Qing Yuan will also fall into power disputes when they grow up."[
"No." Yi Chenjing replied decisively. "When they grow up, I will let them get in touch with the affairs of the previous dynasty. They will soon understand that being an emperor is not an easy and happy thing. Who wants to be emperor then?
, whoever wants to be a brother with full support. Let them choose."
The eldest son succession system that had lasted for hundreds of years in the Yao Kingdom was abolished in this generation. From now on, the Yao Kingdom has entered an era of selecting talents and appointing the best as the emperor.
They snuggled together quietly for a long time. As a group of spring geese flew over the horizon, Yi Chen finally became impatient: "Is your annoying confidant still there? Otherwise, I will let Zhan Ting move back. He has been coveted for a long time.
My mouth is watering."
"Why are you in a hurry? There are still two moments until the appointed time." Bai Qige shaved her quiet and delicate face and said calmly. "Buqi is still looking for Sister Suyan in Manzhongzhou. Mr. Ning also wants to pay homage to Mr. Feng.
Only senior can catch up. If he had time to catch up, why would he ask us to see Jin Yan first? Who knows about you and just talk nonsense to Qing Nian? He didn't even clean Jin Yan's tombstone."
Yi Chen raised his hand and pointed to the tombstone facing the palace more than ten feet away: "It has been cleaned a long time ago."
Looking at the lonely tombstone, Bai Qige let out another sigh. The image of that beautiful but arrogant man who always walked alone appeared in his mind.
"I can't tell whether Su Jinyan's feelings for you are right or wrong. But he really paid a lot for you. Even if he died, he insisted on being buried here just to see you dominate the world. In comparison, Senior Feng is indifferent.
Too many. When I left, I left nothing behind. I only left a mess for Mr. Ning. He was so worried that Mr. Ning poured out his sorrows from time to time."
Bai Qige couldn't help but smile when he mentioned that Ning Xi was drunk. Yi Chen raised his eyebrows and bit Bai Qi's finger: "Don't forget that I said I would give him two punches. They are already shouldering the burden of a country.
That green-eyed fox still writes to you coquettishly and complains. Do you think I am too generous and won’t be jealous? Let him quickly find a woman to get married to and become a queen. Otherwise, I will..."
"That's it. Get a bunch of portraits of princesses, princesses, and ladies from various families and send them over." Bai Qige raised her head and stared. Then she laughed out loud. "Don't think I don't know about your little tricks. Those
Young Master Ning is troubled by women. He has already complained a hundred and eighty times. I'm just too lazy to talk to you. Young Master Ning is now the lord of Anling Kingdom. He rules over a large area like Monan. It's rare that he has a name.
The 'motivated' guy started taking care of the government affairs seriously. If you cause him any more trouble, I will move to the Queen Mother's place to sleep."
"No, just let me live in peace and contentment." Thinking of the eerie expression on the Queen Mother's face as she stared at him, Yi Chen couldn't help but shudder. He smiled bitterly and hugged Bai Qige tightly. His fingertips unconsciously roamed her smooth cheeks.
"The Queen Mother is obeying your words now. Last time she almost eaten me alive because of the alliance with Anling. If you really move to Huanqing Palace, I don't think I can even get through the gate, let alone take you back."
While they were chatting, the shouts of Zhan Ting suddenly came from the distance. Both of them turned their heads to look. They saw that Qing Nian and Qing Yuan had already rushed towards Zhan Ting.
"Your Majesty, you have them."
"I don't know who this idiot is." Yi Chennai was about to help Bai Qi sing when a figure quickly passed through the corner of his eye and kicked Zhan Ting behind him.
"I'm so stupid. I told you to tell you who it is first." Ye Huawan, who was carrying a big belly, didn't seem to be affected. He grabbed Zhan Ting angrily and scolded him. When Zhan Ting was
After being trained to the point where he could only scratch his head and giggle, Ye Huawan finally remembered to turn around and say hello to Yi Chen and Bai Qige: "Sister Bai, Brother Chen, don't get too tired over there. Senior brother and Brother Ning have arrived at the foot of the mountain. Hurry up and pass.
.”
"I really can't help mumbling. I just said a few words and he's already here. Let's go, Qi Ge. Go meet your annoying profiteer and confidant." Yi Chen patted the dust behind him. He turned around and stretched out his hand to Bai Qi Ge. He smiled softly.
Teach spring to eclipse.
Yes. It has been four years. I finally look forward to seeing everyone reunited. With thoughts of those who have passed away and blessings for new life. Meet again at the beginning of the prosperous age.
"You'er, give me a hug. Go and get the wine. Mr. Ning has been waiting for this jar of wine for how many years."
"It's just a good time to test whether people can live with hunger and death."
They chatted and laughed and walked away together. When they raised their black hair beside their ears, they turned their heads for a moment. They saw two tombstones that seemed to become quieter and more peaceful under the bright sunshine.
Looking back again, the Fuyao flowers on the opposite side are gorgeous. The rivers are beautiful. The mountains and rivers are picturesque. People who miss you endlessly and are constantly leaving are not far away. Waiting for a lively hangover and happy songs in the prosperous times.
