No matter what the dream is, even if it may be the original life, it has changed now.
There is only one thing that makes Su Ziji a little melancholy...
How will the Xinping incident be resolved in the future?
Suddenly, Su Ziji somewhat understood the mood of Han Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiuzhe has deep feelings recorded in history.
According to historical records, Liu Xiu's harem was rare. Before Liu Xiu became successful, he admired Yin Lihua very much. He once lamented: "The wife should be Yin Lihua."
And they did get married, but soon the troubled times turned to war and they separated.
Liu Xiu fought in Hebei to unite with the real king Liu Yang and marry Guo Shengtong. This was originally a political marriage, but Liu Xiu was a scholar and loved Guo Shengtong very much after the marriage.
In other words, since he married Guo Shengtong, he naturally cherished her and made her his queen in the future.
It is a pity that Guo Shengtong relied on his family background many times and felt that it was his family's support for Liu Xiu that made him the world leader, which hurt Liu Xiu's heart.
More importantly, Guo Shengtong is ambitious.
In 42 AD, Liu Xiu thought that Guo Shengtong had "the style of Lu Huo" and could not be entrusted with a young orphan to respectfully inherit the throne. He ordered to depose Guo Shengtong to the posthumous position. Soon after, he named her the Queen Mother of Zhongshan and moved to Beigong.
His wife Yin Lihua is the queen.
From then on, Liu and Xiu went back and forth, and no one could bear to let go, but the final result was still not good.
Their love was divided between Yin Lihua and Guo Shengtong, and there was still a beautiful woman in the harem. Although she had given birth to a child Liu Ying for Liu Xiu, she was still not favored by Liu Xiu.
Su Zi is the acting king and grandson, but there is only one person named Wuhui. It’s not that he doesn’t love women, but how many people can he give his heart to?
More Xinping, maybe, but how much more?
It would be nice if I didn't have the heart to "marry the one I love", so having a harem of three thousand would be fine.
Thousands of thoughts flashed through my mind.
A little girl appeared in front of his eyes. She was holding a paper bag in her hand, hugging a thick coat, with a small body, long hair in a double bun, two strands hanging from the temples, trotting around the courtyard and running towards her.
"Su Ziji, where are you——"
The picture blurred, and I recalled that the girl was kneeling on the ground, hugging Ye Weihan, crying... a desolate and hesitant look.
"...No matter what, I can't let you bear the burden alone, Su Ziji, let's worship heaven and earth in front of my father."
"...You promised to marry me."
"...No matter where you go, I will follow you."
With the sound in his ears, Su Ziji smiled slightly.
——There are two regrets in life. You don’t regret it, and I don’t regret it either.
Thinking of this, he lowered his head again and kissed Buhui's slightly parted lips.
"Princess Qi...oh..." Buhui was about to say something when he was kissed. His eyes were slightly surprised and then slowly closed.
After the kiss ended, when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were moist and full of attachment.
"Princess Qi is here." Ye Buhui spoke softly.
"What is she doing here?" Su Ziji continued to stroke his wife's hair with his hands, messing up her hair, and then tying it up for her... He repeated it again and again.
"She said she wanted to see King Qi...she brought the prince's jade pendant. I, I didn't know what to say, so I asked her to wait outside."
"Jade pendant? Well, it's a jade pendant."
Ye Buhui handed it over.
The sun was shining down, and the jade pendant was glowing with a faint golden color. The five coiled dragons had different shapes, as if they were alive, and there was a thick shimmer of water smoke around them.
Upon closer inspection, it seems to be an illusion.
"It should be a good item."
Buhui leaned in his arms and continued: "She said that this was a valuable treasure from the previous dynasty. It was given to the prince and later to the King of Qi, and it has been kept until now."
"The night before King Qi left, he specially told her that if there was any chance, he would show it to you..."
"I think since it's the prince's old thing, you might like it, so I'll let her wait."
Buhui looked up at him, with a bit of nervousness in his questioning eyes.
"Don't you like it... Then I'll return it."
"That's all, since it's been delivered, so what if you allow her to see it." Su Ziji rubbed her cheek and put the jade pendant into her hand.
"Take it."
The jade pendant is the prince's token, and the prince's bloodline is Ye Buhui's. It is an old thing of his biological father. Buhui should instinctively care about it... What does it mean to just make Buhui happy and give him a face?
When Ye Weihan was dying, he not only entrusted him with the royal token, but also almost revealed that he had no regrets about his life.
Su Ziji felt affection in his heart and whispered in her ear.
"Actually, you and I are one husband and wife. I shouldn't hide it originally, but there are some things that I can't say yet... If you have doubts, you can always tell me..."
Pressing his lips with delicate fingers, Ye Buhui stopped his words and looked solemn.
"Since you don't say it, you have your own reasons. I believe you!"
"I won't ask! Don't tell me either! I just want you to be nice, nice..."
"Idiot, don't you hear that wealth is easy to make friends with, and wealth is easy to get a wife? My husband is now rich and noble, and he is no longer the scholar Su he used to be. Are you afraid?"
"Aww!"
"Why are you biting someone! The chess master is biting someone!"
"The person you bite is... the person who betrays your heart!" She let go of her silver teeth and licked them sadly: "If you get tired of me one day, just let me go back to the study..."
Tears rolled down silently, and Su Ziji was heartbroken when he saw him, and asked hurriedly: "There is no one there, what are you going to do?"
"I will always...wait there...for my Su Ziji!" She raised her head, then lowered her head: "Su Ziji...will never abandon Ye Buhui..."
"What should I do if I can't wait?"
"What will you do when you wait?"
Su Ziji also remembered that day.
My father-in-law was seriously ill, and after seeing the marriage contract between the two families, a real person came to assassinate him. He was recognized as a member of the former Wei clan, and Bu Regret was the empress of the Zheng Dynasty... They all got together!
His tone was very soft, softer than the breeze blowing through the treetops.
It's like holding porcelain in your hands.
"If I can't wait, I will continue to wait!"
"When the time comes, I will be exiled with Su Ziji, to the ends of the earth and never come back!" After Henhen said this, she turned away angrily, wiping her tears randomly with the back of her hand.
"Oh, I was really joking!"
"……I know."
"I made the mistake first, I can't help but regret it."
"I don't blame you." Ye Buhui replied dully.
Su Ziji stared at her for a long time and sighed: "I don't regret it. In fact, I thought a lot when I looked at the corpse of King Qi in front of Emperor Daxing's body!"
He had thousands of words, but they turned into one sentence: "I don't regret it. I pray to heaven in front of my soul. I just hope that your son will have peace."
When Li Shimin deposed Li Chengqian, the people he could choose were still the sons of Empress Changsun—the fourth son, King Li Tai of Wei, and the ninth son, King Li Zhi of Jin.
Concubine, maybe, but if there is no affection for the queen, how can it be like this?
Even for myself, if my wife didn't regret it, why would I care? The world is originally the Ji family?
You have to choose another bloodline, establish a clear relationship with the Ji family, or truly establish a foothold.
But will the future be as you wish?
Su Ziji felt a little sad, wiped the corners of his eyes, and then smiled.
"Actually, Princess Qi doesn't have to be like this. I have already concluded that since King Qi is dead, it will not harm his wife!" Su Ziji held her hand.
"However, I also know her worries. Let's go, let's go and see Princess Qi. Doesn't she want to see Prince Qi? Let her meet her."
