"Because of Miss Chu. It is said that he once had a relationship with Miss Chu. Later, Miss Chu dumped him when she became famous. At that time, the company was hyping up the matter between me and Miss Chu. In fact, I had no relationship with Miss Chu at all. It's nothing. Privately, I have no contact with Miss Chu at all. Except for Miss Chu, it is said that he wants to compete with me for the role. This is what Qiu Kai told me."
"Did he deliberately set up a trap to harm you because of this?" Li Wei couldn't understand.
Zhao Qian smiled: "Sometimes love makes a person blind and narrow-minded."
This is true.
The two of them walked slowly, and the faces they met were all strange Western faces. They looked like Orientals, but they looked like aliens.
"Although that piece of jade is not bad, it is really poorly carved. If you don't like it, just put it away and don't wear it."
"Did you carve it yourself?"
Zhao Qian said nervously: "Well, I haven't held a carving knife for a long time, and my skills are very unfamiliar."
A faint smile appeared on Li Wei's face, but she said nothing.
"At the beginning of the eleventh year, I received an exquisite gift from my sixth brother. It was a piece of Lantian black jade..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhao Qian said, "Isn't it engraved with the pattern 'Longevity and Longevity' on it?"
Li Wei understood and said: "Yes, is that also your masterpiece?"
Zhao Qian grinned and said: "At that time, the craftsmanship was mature, and everything was carved in one go, with few mistakes. It's not like now that the skills have retreated."
Speaking of Sixth Brother, he was the closest brother to Li Wei. After her death, Sixth Brother would definitely be implicated. Li Wei always felt sorry for him, and the Li clan in Shaoxing, Beijing, would definitely be liquidated by those who came after her. After all, the family was still destroyed in her hands.
Zhao Qian saw her depression and comforted her: "It's useless for you to think about the things of the past hundreds of years. They have become history. You have a family here again. Treat your current family well." enough."
Li Wei nodded.
"My aunt told me that my eldest sister chose me, saying that it would be a great honor for me to sacrifice my life for the glory of the entire family. In the end, I did not bring any glory to that family, and it was even destroyed by my hands. By the time of the first year of Chunping's reign, my cowardly mother had already left. She would not be implicated, but my father, my sixth brother, and my uncle would definitely be the first to be implicated. It’s a relative like Li. In the end, I became the sinner of that family.”
"Did you do anything wrong? Did you mess up the court by becoming the Queen Mother? Or did you do something evil?"
She had only been the queen mother for two months, and had only lived in Chongqing Palace for less than a month, and her position had not yet become popular. At that time, political affairs were controlled by the regent and the cabinet. She was young at the time, and the veterans of the cabinet never paid attention to her, so she was not a queen mother in charge, and she had never done anything to listen to politics behind the curtain. Although she has encountered several disagreements that came to her and asked her to make the decision, she knows what she can do and what she cannot do due to her status. Act as a peacemaker on both sides, or give each side fifty and make a decision after weighing the pros and cons. "If I had had that ability, I would not have been plotted against, nor would I have been harmed by my closest relatives, nor would I have let you break into my bedroom several times."
"So it's not your fault, and you don't have to blame yourself."
I don't know if Zhao Qian's words comforted Li Wei, but she didn't want to pursue the past long time.
"We had a lot of quarrels at the beginning, but now that I think about it, most of the quarrels were because of the young emperor. You were too harsh on him. After all, he is also the king of a country, and he is there with honor. Don't talk about you, even I, the adoptive mother, have to be respectful to him."
Zhao Qian sighed: "You still don't understand. The reason why I am strict with Fu Guang is because I hope he will grow up soon. He is still a little playful and does not realize that he will be the master of that dynasty in the future. "
"He is only a child of one or six years old. Isn't it normal to be playful? Being too strict will always be counterproductive. He needs to be strong-minded. If you treat him harshly, it will not necessarily be beneficial to his growth."
If they continue talking like this, the two of them will argue about the little emperor again, but now there is no such problem between them, so this topic will be stopped here.
"You will also be a strict father in the future, right?"
Zhao Qian suddenly heard Li Wei's words. He tilted his head and looked at Li Wei, jokingly saying: "Are you the mother of the child?"
Li Wei's cheeks were hot and he hurriedly walked forward. As he walked, he said, "I won't lead you to be so disrespectful."
The things that had trapped Li Wei for many years were gradually solved. Ever since she was the third girl of Shangshu Mansion, this man had been standing behind her silently and watching her. Later, when he entered the palace, he also strictly abided by his duties. From his position, he was still paying attention to her silently.
Later, one of them became the mother of a country, and the other became the regent with all the power in the world. The two of them drifted apart, like two parallel lines that would never intersect. Destiny brought them here, and under this free sky, they met again.
Tonight is Christmas Eve, and it is said that there will be grand activities in the town. None of them are religious, so naturally they don't have much interest in worshiping or anything like that.
But this whole day was extremely important to them. The two of them were together the whole day. They talked about the past, and perhaps the knot in Li Wei's heart had slowly opened up. She also gradually believed that the man who had been silently guarding her was not the one who killed her. She died in a trap that had been set up long ago.
"You look good with long hair, and it suits you better. It doesn't feel so sharp." Zhao Qian praised sincerely.
"Now it's neither too long nor too short, and it's not easy to take care of. Maybe I'll have to cut it off again in order to appear on the show after I go back."
Zhao Qian asked again: "When will you return to China?"
"The flight on the 29th is just in time to go back and spend the New Year's Eve with them. And you, when are you leaving?"
Zhao Qian said: "Leave at noon on the 26th."
They followed the flow of people towards the church, which was already filled with water. The sound of hymns being sung came out.
They stood outside, Zhao Qian stayed close to Li Wei. He thought silently in his heart, whether it is the gods of the east or the gods of the west, thank you, thank you for allowing us to meet again here.
Li Wei was standing alone under the mistletoe. A blond man saw him and was about to approach Li Wei. However, Zhao Qian quickly walked up to him, stretched out his hand and pulled him behind. Li Wei turned around, and in the dim light, at the moment when the church bell rang, he lowered his head and gently touched Li Wei's lips. He pressed a gentle kiss, leaving his own breath behind.
