Li Wei, who was used to the nightlife, didn't want to go to bed after dinner. She walked around the yard slowly. The night wind in early spring still carries a hint of chill. Wan Su brought a fur-collared cloak and surrounded Li Wei.
Stars twinkled in the dark sky, which was no longer visible in the optically polluted metropolis.
She looked up at the starry sky and saw the kindest star. At this moment, the words her second brother told her were still lingering in her ears. In Western mythology and legends, Venus is Aphrodite, a symbol of love and beauty. In Roman mythology, Venus is Aphrodite. Venus is the female god. In this era, people call the brightest star in the sky Taibai.
The second brother led her to learn the civilization of that era, but now she is isolated from that era.
Under the same starry sky, she would never see the relatives she cared about again. If she doesn't like it here, she still wants to go back to them. Li Wei hoped to wake up and be back to normal.
The window screens are getting whiter and the birds are chirping noisily.
Li Wei turned over, but the hard plank bed was still under him. After sleeping all night, his body felt very uncomfortable. She opened her eyes again, still in the bedroom of Chongqing Palace. She thought she could go back after just sleeping, but it looked like she couldn't.
The palace servants came in to put on her morning makeup. She was actually in the middle of a warm wedding, and there was nothing to add to her makeup. She had a bun with a black rosewood hairpin inserted into it, and she still wore the white velvet flower on her temples. The bracelets on his hands have also come off, but what about that ring
Li Wei had never seen it before. He wanted to take it off, but found that the ring was very tight, as if it was growing on his finger. He tried hard several times and couldn't take it off, so he finally gave up.
After washing up, Fu Guang came over to say good morning in person. Li Wei left him a bowl of Bijing porridge and coaxed him to eat an extra paper before letting him go to the study room to study.
Not long after, concubines, concubines and princesses from all over the place came to pay their respects to Li Wei.
She had lost sight of the rule of morning and dusk for more than ten years. She forced her uncomfortable body to look at half of the room and said lazily: "Everyone, please get up."
She could talk about nothing to the widows or underage girls in the palace. She couldn't talk about gossip or fashion. Everyone maintains mutual respect for each other's status. Apart from the Queen Mother, among these women, the Honorable Dowager Princess has the highest status and is also the eldest. Every time she comes to say hello, she will come out and say a few words.
"The late emperor's 100th day is approaching, and I don't know how well prepared everything is. It seems that we still need to call the regent over to ask questions and come up with a charter, so that we can make an arrangement."
Li Wei said leisurely: "Constitution? There are no previous examples. Let's follow the ancestral rules."
"The Queen Mother is right, but the specific implementation needs to be discussed and discussed." Concubine Qi helped.
Everyone saw that Li Wei was in low spirits, but after sitting in front of him for a quarter of an hour, everyone dispersed one after another. Only Concubine Jinggui and Concubine Qi remained. Concubine Jinggui asked Li Wei for instructions: "Queen Mother, we'd better call the regent to ask about the specific arrangements."
Li Wei nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll let someone pass on the message."
Li Wei, Concubine Jinggui and Concubine Qi were still sitting in the side hall, and Wan Su served Li Wei red date tea. Li Wei thought of her fearful experience last time. She glanced at Wan Su warily. She did not drink the red date tea, and did not want Wan Su to continue to serve her. She said lightly: "Go down and rest, and let Lan Hui comes to serve."
Wan Su was a little surprised and said: "Mother, Lan Hui was on duty last night because she was afraid that her body would not be able to bear it."
"Then let Haruka come."
Wansu had no choice but to agree and ask someone to call Qingxiang.
After Wan Su withdrew, Concubine Qi smiled and said to Li Wei: "This Wan Su next to the Queen Mother must have been with you for many years. This girl is really nice. She has a good appearance and treats people well."
Li Wei heard about it and said hurriedly: "Qi Taifei likes Wan Su, so I will give Wan Su to you."
Concubine Qi was slightly surprised when she heard this, and said hurriedly: "Wan Su is your loyal servant, the Queen Mother. You can't live without her. How dare I take away your love?"
Princess Jing thought that the atmosphere between the two people felt a bit strange. Li Wei asked someone to replace her with plain water. When the Queen Mother saw it, she said, "The Queen Mother doesn't like to drink tea?"
Li Wei then said: "When you are sick, you become pretentious when it comes to eating and drinking."
When Princess Qi heard about it, she smiled and said, "Queen Mother, you are young, and now you have a high status. When you are sick, you must take good care of yourself. You must pay attention to food and clothing. Don't leave any roots of the disease, otherwise you will be in trouble in the future."
The three women waited for the regent to come. After a while, someone reported: "Queen Mother, the regent is here."
Li Wei's tone was exceptionally calm: "Please come in, Your Majesty."
Li Wei lowered his head and his eyes fell on the white porcelain tea cup in his hand. This was porcelain fired in the official kiln last year. It was as white as jade and she liked it very much.
The curtains clicked lightly, and then a burst of brisk footsteps approached.
"I wish the Queen Mother to greet you."
This voice seemed to be heard across thousands of mountains and rivers, and Li Wei forcefully suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart. She finally looked up.
A tall man stood in the room. He was wearing a moon-white four-clawed golden dragon pattern and a black winged crown on his head. Full of energy and majesty. The look on his face was still so calm and unhurried. However, there is still a difference from how he looked in his memory. He no longer looks gloomy and gloomy.
The two people's eyes met, and Li Wei looked away first. The affection they once had is now gone.
"Sisters-in-law, I don't know what Wang Xuan's instructions are when he comes?"
The noble concubine glanced at the Queen Mother, but saw that Li Wei looked tired and said nothing. She was now in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace on behalf of the Queen Mother, so she had to say: "The late emperor's 100 days are coming, and this matter is under the full authority of the regent." So we invited the regent to come over today to discuss what to do on the 28th, and to make a plan for the trip. "
Then Zhao Qian said hurriedly: "How dare you, how dare you. If the three sisters-in-law have anything to do, just ask them, and Xiao Wang will do his best to handle it."
Concubine Jinggui and Concubine Qi confirmed some relevant matters with the regent, and then invited the general manager of the Twelve Yamen to discuss it. Li Wei sat in front of him for a while, feeling that the pestle was useless here. Besides, she didn't want to see Zhao Qian yet, so she stood up and said, "You guys have discussed this matter and let me know. I'll go back to the dormitory."
When Zhao Qian heard that, he quickly turned to look at Li Wei, and then he boldly asked with concern: "I heard that the Queen Mother is sick. I wonder if your body has recovered?"
"It's still being raised, please regent for your trouble." Li Wei's tone was exceptionally cold. She's back, and Li Wei doesn't know if the man standing in front of her is the one who came back with her from that era. The only thing she knew was that their love was dead.
