"Don't worry about my identity. I'm telling you serious things now. I'm helping you and not harming you!"
"I ask you, what is your identity?" Xia Huanzhi calmly repeated the question just now.
Didi looked at herself and then at him: "The regent's personal maid!"
"Do you want today to be the anniversary of your father's death next year?"
Didi took a deep breath silently and hesitated: "Well... well, what other orders do you have later?"
"roll!"
Di Di hurriedly held the memorials reviewed by Xia Huanzhi in her arms and stumbled away.
After Didi left, the imperial study was replaced by empty loneliness. Xia Huanzhi looked around, everything was as it was yesterday, nothing had changed.
Once upon a time, he stood below and looked up at Xia Yan who was sitting above, imagining that one day he could sit in this place, overlook the wind and clouds, and strategize.
Now he has done it. The exquisitely carved dragon chair, the coveted golden seal, and the military symbols that can command the three armies are all on the table, within reach.
But why do you feel lost?
Xia Huanzhi stretched out his hand to hold the military talisman that commanded the world, and touched the golden seal that symbolized the emperor. The dragon chair under his buttocks was hard and cold, especially the carvings on the back of the dragon chair. It was extremely uncomfortable to lean on it.
Suddenly, I wanted to know whether Xia Yan's nonchalant expression when he was sitting here was true or false? Isn't his butt cold? Doesn't his back hurt?
But as far as he knew, Xia Yan sat here all day long!
Thinking of this, Xia Huanzhi gritted his teeth. If Xia Yan could do it, why couldn't he?
Suddenly a gust of wind blew outside the hall, and the cold and moist air blew towards my face. The glazed lanterns were swayed by the wind, casting mottled shadows on the ground.
"Someone is coming!"
The only answer he received was the sound of wind.
Xia Huanzhi suddenly remembered that he had already dismissed the eunuchs, leaving only Didi to serve him.
"Come here!" shouted an angry voice.
"Come on, come on!" Didi hurriedly opened the heavy curtain and rushed in.
Seeing the gloomy look on Xia Huanzhi's face, Didi was startled. Why was she angry again?
"Bring me the wine!"
"ah?"
"Bring the wine!" Xia Huanzhi said with a gloomy face, word by word.
Didi made a sound and jumped out like a frightened rabbit.
After a while, Didi brought two jars of old wine, panted, put the jars on the ground, and wiped his sweat: "Here comes the wine!"
"Get out!"
"Oh!" Today, Didi has developed super fast skills. As long as Xia Huanzhi orders her to get out, she can immediately roll to a corner where he can't see and squat down. When he calls someone, she can catch him by surprise.
Go back.
He was the only one left in the silent hall.
Xia Huanzhi stood up from the dragon chair and walked towards the two jars of wine.
The two jars were as big as watermelons, and both contained fine wine that had been stored for more than thirty years. Xia Huanzhi tore the seals open, and a charming aroma of wine immediately filled the hall.
Without hesitation, he picked up a jar and drank it in big gulps.
Why did he feel empty? Xia Huanzhi put down the wine jar, looked at the beautiful palace lanterns and asked himself, wine, power, status, identity... He had it all.
Looking back at the solemn dragon chair, under the glazed lamplight, the obscure light emitted by the dragon chair was actually a bit dazzling.
Xia Huanzhi looked away and took another sip of wine.
