The lights flicker, like a bright star river under the night, shining brightly, dispelling the darkness and warming the cold night.
After parting, Ling Xuewei discovered that she was very attached to this place.
Everywhere here has left her footprints, as well as Ye Moyan's.
This is no longer the place where she used to fear and panic, but her home.
Her, Ye Moyan's, and their baby's home.
The moon tonight is extraordinarily round.
Bright and bright, lustrous and pearly.
The heart gradually calms down.
Walking through the familiar garden, we came to Yunhu Lake. Here, he and she had left their footprints. It was here that he told her about his mother and his life experience.
Que Ming Terrace, here, he once admired the moon and the moon together with her. They imagined the future together. She sat in his arms, laughing and talking non-stop, but he always listened quietly, with gentle and doting eyes.
The sea of flowers. Here, the most beautiful memories of her and his life are placed.
It was here that he proposed to her.
And on her birthday night, a whole garden of manjushuahua flowers was planted for her.
The stars were bright and the fireworks were dazzling. She flew down and fell into his open arms...
She couldn't help but laugh.
It turns out they have so many wonderful memories.
Raise your head and look up at the night sky.
The smile is bright.
Yan, I will take good care of myself and our baby while you are gone.
I will not be decadent or waste my time, because I want to see you as soon as possible.
Fortunately, I have so many memories to accompany me. Although I feel lonely sometimes, I miss you very much and want to see you right away, but... I will endure it.
Just to become a better version of myself, and to go to the world where you stay.
Night Moyan.
You know, the world has not changed.
The trees are there, the mountains are there. The heaven and earth are there, and the years are there.
But without you, for me, there is no expectation.
The world where you only exist is the best world, the world where I want to stand.
****
Early the next morning.
Ling Xuewei got ready to go.
Everyone was waiting outside the palace. She hugged Mianmian and boarded the flying boat.
"Bon Voyage."
Yin Xue told Yue Feng a few words, nodded to her gently, "Take care."
"You guys too. By the way, I have something to ask senior brother..."
The flying boat rose slowly. Yinxue watched the flying boat gradually move away from the imperial capital until it disappeared, then turned around and said, "Go back."
…
"Your Majesty, we are leaving the capital soon. It's very windy here. Why don't you go back to your room first?"
"There's no rush. Before leaving, let's go somewhere first."
"where?"
Ling Xuewei mentioned something, Yue Feng was startled and then understood.
"yes."
After burning a stick of incense, the flying boat stopped in front of a mountain forest.
"You stay, I'll come back as soon as I can."
"It's the empress."
Ling Xuewei jumped off the flying boat and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Here is a peach blossom forest outside the imperial capital.
The scenery is beautiful, the lakes and mountains are beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. It is a rare place.
Passing through peach groves, lakes, small bridges and flowing water, a small bamboo forest courtyard appears in front of you.
The small courtyard is very simple, no different from an ordinary farmhouse. Firewood and wood are piled in the courtyard. There is even a farmland where some common crops and vegetables are planted. Next to the farmland, a grape trellis is set up. Under the grape trellis
, the aroma of tea overflows on the stone table and stone bench, especially with its lingering warmth.
On the other side is a well, and above the well is a peach blossom tree. Logically speaking, peach blossoms cannot bloom in this season, but the entire peach forest has been cast with secret techniques, so in this cold winter, it still blooms wantonly, and the spring scenery is endless.
reduce.
"Empress?"
Suddenly, a surprised voice came from behind.
Ling Xuewei turned around, and Fu Ji appeared in front of her wearing peasant clothes and bare feet.
She seemed surprised that Ling Xuewei would appear here, "Isn't the empress already on the flying boat at this time? Why are you here?"
"Come to see you and Bai Le."
Fu Ji's eyes flashed, and Bai Le's tomb was buried in the peach forest. He didn't expect that the empress would come here specially before leaving.
"I took Bai Le's favorite bamboo leaf green, let's go together?"
Ling Xuewei picked up two wine bottles and shook them towards Fu Ji.
Fu Ji chuckled, "If he knew, he would definitely be very happy."
So the two of them went to Taolin one after another.
After burning a stick of incense, we arrived at the place.
The simple tomb is made of bamboo and wood, with vigorous and powerful handwriting on it, and is engraved with Bai Le's name. There are also the four words "Brother Fu Ji Ke".
Ling Xuewei placed the sacrifices she brought in front of the tomb, bit open the bamboo leaves and green cloth stuffing, and sat on the ground.
Fu Ji also sat down.
Ling Xuewei took a sip of Bamboo Leaf Green. The Bamboo Leaf Green was very strong and a pungent taste hit her nose. She coughed a few times and then put the wine bottle in front of the tombstone.
"The taste is quite strong! But only he likes it."
"He has always been like this. He likes spicy food, not just wine, but also food. Every time I finish a meal with him, I have stomachache for several days..."
Thinking of the past days, Fu Ji smiled slightly.
Now, just thinking about that time, I feel so happy. Having someone by your side who knows you and understands you is really a great blessing in life! It is also a joy.
It's a pity that now he can only drink alone and enjoy the beautiful scenery of this paradise...
Fu Ji's eyes dimmed slightly.
Ling Xuewei took in all his expressions and sighed in her heart.
"I heard that you asked for your resignation from Senior Brother Xue?"
He paused for a moment, then nodded gently, "Yeah."
"Can you tell me why?"
No one knows better than her how much energy and time Fu Ji has invested in the court, and no one cares more about Fanxu's future than him.
Fu Ji chose this time to retire, which was hard for not only her, but also Yue Feng and others to accept.
Ling Xuewei vaguely guessed the reason.
Bai Le's death is Fu Ji's pain.
Fanxu was in dire straits before, but now that the chaos has subsided, he can retire with peace of mind.
But how could Fanxu be separated from this minister of the humerus?
"I want to keep vigil for him for three years."
Fu Ji spoke slowly, his eyes falling on the tomb.
"Your Majesty may not know that Bai Le and I are both orphans. Without the Emperor, we would have died in the war long ago. Bai Le is my brother, friend, and confidant. I didn't see him for the last time. It was me
Regret in this life.”
"We have been with each other for nearly thirty years, and I can't accept that he left like this..."
Ling Xuewei opened her mouth and was about to persuade him, but found that her words were so pale. At this moment, she could not say a word.
"It's just that I will never forget his ambitions and my ideals."
The corner of Fu Ji's mouth curled up slightly, "We once agreed to build Fanxu into a prosperous empire, without war, famine, or children begging everywhere. For so many years, we have been working hard towards this goal, watching Fanxu step by step.
It has developed, grown, and become the prosperity it is today... We are very proud.” (To be continued)
