This is the throne he earned so hard. This is the throne Gardenia hates. It is this dragon throne that robbed her of the father of her child and her husband.
Just as I was approaching this dragon chair step by step, Gardenia, my heart flew to the sky to look for you. I don’t regret getting this dragon chair, but I regret not being able to bring you to my side. I don’t want to do anything I want. , Don’t do it to others, Gardenia, you never thought that I would hurt you so deeply. How would you hate me at this time? Hate me for being heartless or hate me for being silent? Hold your hand and talk to me. As we grow old together, do you still remember the promise between us? If God has mercy on me, I will meet you again and I will definitely live up to you in this life.
On this day, the new emperor of the Aoran Dynasty ascended the throne and changed the name of the country to: Qianzong. Princess Lu Xinlan of Yuxi Kingdom was named Concubine Lan; she moved into Jinhua Palace, and her concubine Lian Ruoyi was named Concubine Lian and moved into Yuhua Palace; the previous dynasty Lin Yuhong, the daughter of the Prime Minister, was granted the title of Red Concubine and moved into Qinghua Palace; Shu Jing, the daughter of the Minister of Household Affairs, was granted the title of Jingfei and moved into Linghua Palace...
The enthronement ceremony finally ended with shouts of: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live -".
Spring goes and spring comes back, flowers fall and flowers bloom, one year after another. In six years, too much has been forgotten; in six years, it has carried so much sorrow and sadness.
Every time when Luo Xun and Luo Xi were changing clothes, they would put two pieces of jade pendants together. They were obviously one piece, so why should they be divided into two halves? Whose jade pendants did they belong to? It was very tiring to remember.
To be honest, Gardenia is not very good at taking care of these two little guys, and Yao Wang seems to worry more than her.
Sometimes Yao Wang is quite puzzled. Both children were brought up by themselves. Why is it that Luoxi is so lively and cute like himself, but Luoxun is the opposite of Luoxi, acting like a little adult all day long? , I don’t like to talk, and I don’t know how to make him happy. I’m really boring. I always have a cool face when I have nothing to do. That’s really like a human being.
At this time, Yao Wang yelled out the old saying for the 300th time: "Zhi Niang, look at the good son you gave birth to, how can he be as arrogant as me?"
Of course, the two children didn't know what "I" meant, and Gardenia didn't know who the father of these two children was. She even doubted whether the two children were her own.
Gardenia hung up her clothes and walked to the study. As she approached the door, she met Luo Xun who was stepping out of the threshold. Gardenia asked, "Xun'er, what's the matter that made Master Grandpa displeased?"
Luo Xun, who was almost seven years old, glanced at his mother, raised his hand and said two words impatiently: "Boring."
When he passed by Gardenia, he called Cai'er and went to practice martial arts in the woods with him.
Seeing his arrogant and arrogant look, Gardenia fell into deep thought. She didn't know why, but she couldn't move her eyes away for a long time. Luoxi ran out, hugged Gardenia's waist, and said coquettishly: "Mother, mother——."
"Xi'er, tell mother, what's wrong?" Gardenia leaned over slightly and asked softly.
Luoxi leaned close to Gardenia's ear and whispered: "Grandpa Shigong asked my brother to practice calligraphy, but he didn't practice. He also said that Grandpa Shigong is old and can't remember those words. He has already practiced them."
He stroked his daughter's hair with a smile and said, "Go and play with your brother in the woods. Remember to come back early."
"I got it, mother." Luo Xi trotted away happily, and Gardenia entered the study room and looked at Yao Wang sitting on the stool with his mouth pouted like a child, and moved his face to one side.
"Master, he is ignorant, don't argue with Xun'er." Gardenia poured a glass of water for Yao Wang and put it in front of him and said.
It was like this every time. As long as he met Gardenia's eyes, no matter how angry Yao Wang was, the lingering sadness in her eyes would melt away. Six years later, Ling Jiyun became the emperor.
, but she chose to forget, but what happened must exist, can it really be forgotten? The sadness in her eyes reminded her all the time, she did not forget, she just sealed that memory, maybe one day,
will still be enabled.
"Forget it, for your sake, I won't pursue it." Yao Wang picked up the cup and said while drinking.
Gardenia didn't understand why every time when she begged for Luo Xun, the master would look at her with a look of pity, helplessness, and pain. He didn't say anything, and he didn't want to ask.
"Mother Gardenia, you can take Xun'er and Xi'er into the city tomorrow morning. I'm going to meet an old friend." King Yao stood up and looked through the window at Xun'er practicing the martial arts taught by him, and Xi'er standing there.
There was a scene of applause and applause.
Gardenia responded: "I understand, Master."
When Gardenia wanted to ask him if she wanted to bring him anything, she saw King Yao angrily mutter: "Xun'er, that trick of wagging the hidden dragon's tail was wrong again. It really pissed me off." She said no.
Li Zhiniang went straight out of the study and walked towards the woods.
That's how Master Shigong is. Every time Xun'er makes him angry, he always makes up in a short while.
Starting from three years ago, King Yao said that Xun'er and Xi'er could not be left bored in the Lost Forest all the time and that they had to see the world. So with Gardenia's consent, he sent the two to Ling Jijie's academy.
I went to school, but not every day, only twice a year. The rest of the time, I let King Yao teach by himself.
The setting sun had quietly hidden under the mountain, and the treetops were shining with the sunset glow in the sky. King Yao left after giving instructions on Xun'er's martial arts. At this time, the two brothers and sisters were holding hands and walking home with Cai'er.
Two small shadows were reflected unevenly on the way. Xun'er carefully pulled Xi'er, and Xi'er said: "Brother, we can see Uncle Ling again tomorrow."
"Oh——." Luo Xun responded softly.
Luoxi asked again: "Why do other students call Uncle Ling Master, but we call him Uncle Ling?"
"have no idea--."
Luoxi asked again: "Brother, I want to stay in the academy for a longer time. Do you think my mother will agree?"
"have no idea--."
Luoxi asked again: "Brother, if mother agrees, will you stay with me longer?"
Luo Xun finally couldn't hold it any longer, stopped and looked back at his lovely troubled sister, and said loudly: "Are you annoyed? There are so many problems." After that, he pulled her and started walking.
Luoxi rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are mean to me. If I go back and tell my mother, she will definitely be angry with you and won't take you out of the woods tomorrow."
This idiot sister was really defeated. Luo Xun said: "Come on, have you ever seen my mother angry?"
Luoxi thought for a while and said, "I don't think I've seen it before."
At night, fireflies shine from time to time in the trees by the lake, a little to the east and a little to the west, which is really beautiful.
Luo Xi sat in the bathtub, looking at the twinkling stars outside the window, pointing and saying: "Mom, look, the fireflies are so beautiful. Can I ask my brother to accompany me to catch them?"
Gardenia shook her head and said, "No, my brother has already rested. He has to get up early tomorrow."
Luoxi had no choice but to give up and play with the medicinal juice in the bathtub and said, "Mom, why have you used medicinal baths to bathe me since I was a child?"
"Not just you, but also brother?" Gardenia said with a smile.
Luoxi asked again: "Why?"
Gardenia stopped, looked at her daughter's cute little face and said, "Because grandma also bathes me like this?"
"Grandma, are you my mother's mother?"
"yes--."
"Then where did she go? Why can't I see her?"
"Grandma went to a far away place."
"Where have you gone?"
"Going to see grandpa."
"Where is grandpa?"
"Grandpa is in heaven."
"Then grandma is in heaven when she goes to find grandpa?"
"yes--."
"When can Xi'er see them?"
"A long, long time later."
"How long will it be in a long, long time?"
"Just a long time."
"How long is a long time?"
"that is……."
In the mansion of the lord of the border city——
The mansion has become a lot deserted. Because it is Qianlong Mansion and no one dares to live there, it can only be used as Emperor Qianzong’s villa in the border town. Songbo still stays here. He is unwilling to leave this place. He said Even if I die, I will die here.
Wang Yang passed through the ventilated flower wall and arrived at the study. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, everything is ready and we can set off."
Ling Jiyun turned around, his demeanor was still the same as before, but his sculpted handsome face had a bit of vicissitudes of life, making him look more mature and steady.
It's been half a month since I came back, but there's still no news. It's been six years. Gardenia, have you really never left the Lost Forest since you came back?
"Let's set off." He spoke lightly, with reluctance but also helplessness.
"According to the decree——."
On the main street, it is still as lively and prosperous as before. The border town has not been desolate because of Ling Jiyun's departure. On the contrary, it has become more prosperous. Many people know that this is the origin of the current emperor, and they all come here to settle, trade, etc. .
Once upon a time, Ling Jiyun wanted to move Aoran City here, but unexpectedly there were many people who opposed it, so he had to give up this idea.
Ling Jijie held a jade fan in one hand and a small wine bottle in the other. He walked among the crowd with a smile on his face. From time to time, people greeted him: "Master Ling, let's get some wine."
Ling Jijie cupped his hands and said, "Yes, let's go into town and get some drinks."
"Master Ling, is my child obedient in school?"
"Be obedient and your grades are pretty good."
"You have nothing to worry about, Master."
"you are welcome--."
Ling Jijie's academy outside the city charges low fees, and he is happy with it, so he teaches well. Over the years, his students have increased more and more, and even students from the main schools in the border towns have come to his academy. He was not allowed to expand the school, so he finally built an academy and named it: Yiran Academy. Then he invited several masters to teach students with him. He taught happily and the students learned happily. Why not do it?
A luxury carriage passed by him, and the person in the carriage smiled and said, "Are you living a good life?"
Ling Jijie also smiled and said: "TOEFL, TOEFL."
"You, Prince Xiaoyao, are so well-known." When I met him two years ago, I was almost shocked by him. I never expected that Ling Jijie, who had always been indifferent and just a spectator, would become a teacher and watch He seemed to be enjoying it. He didn't want to worry about it too much, so he gave him the title of Prince Xiaoyao.
