After Zhao Qian came back, he always wanted to do something practical and planned to develop Daqi in seven or eight years. By the time his nephew took over, the world would be prosperous and peaceful.
He worked hard for this day, and also hoped that Li Wei, who had received the education of that era, could also make some suggestions. He repeatedly made it clear, but Li Wei refused to take over.
"Queen Mother, you don't need to worry too much. Wei Chen feels that the education that the Queen Mother has inherited is much more advanced than Wei Chen knows. Why don't we work together to create a dynasty full of vitality and the aspirations of the people."
Is this asking her to listen to politics from behind the curtain? Will the veterans in the cabinet agree
Li Wei knew that he didn't have that talent, and didn't want to be stigmatized. He thought about it carefully and rejected Zhao Qian's proposal: "Thanks to the prince's love, I don't think I have that ability. Now I just want to live quietly in the harem. Have a good time. He will be able to live up to the entrustment of the late empress and the late emperor."
Zhao Qian was a little discouraged when he saw that she really refused. In his opinion, a woman who had received the education of that era would definitely look at problems differently, but she still didn't have the courage.
She really refused, and Zhao Qian couldn't persuade him any more, but he heard Li Wei say: "I appreciate the prince's kindness, but it's hard for you to have such thoughts. In my opinion, it's better for our little emperor to listen together every day." Let’s go to the court, and take him with you when your cabinet meets to discuss political affairs. Wouldn’t it be better to train him more and give him more guidance?”
Zhao Qian thought to himself that Fu Guang was still a child, so he agreed to Li Wei's request.
"Don't worry, I will take him with me more."
Due to the limitations of the times, Li Wei could not be the queen mother in charge, and the old officials would never allow her to work in politics as a woman, so she knew what she could and could not do, and now all she wanted was stability.
Zhao Qian talked in front of him for half an hour. Later, Li Wei reminded him that it was getting late, so Zhao Qian stood up and left. He was so reluctant when he left. He wanted to talk to the woman in front of him for a while longer. . However, due to the current status limitations of the two people, neither of them can move closer to each other. On the contrary, Li Wei is still retreating back.
They had gone through so much and finally got together, but they still had to be tortured by fate.
"Queen Mother! Queen Mother!" was Shujia's cheerful voice. It was already time for school to end. The day finally passed. Li Wei heard the call of the Ninth Princess and walked out, only to see Li Xing pulling Shujia into the courtyard, and the two of them were waking up towards the side hall.
When Li Xing saw Zhao Qian, his face was slightly warm and he looked a little shy. She timidly stepped forward to salute Zhao Qian, who still smiled warmly and said warmly: "Hello, Miss Five."
Then Zhao Qian turned sideways and said goodbye to Li Wei again.
Shujia was busy showing her handwriting to Li Wei: "Mother, Master praised my handwriting. Please take a look."
Li Wei smiled and took a look at it. There were eight words written on the white paper. They were sentences from "The Thousand Character Essay". The handwriting was very childish, but Shujia was still young, so it was indeed true that she could write such words. It's not easy anymore. She touched Shujia's head tenderly, smiled and nodded: "It is indeed well written. Whatever reward our princess wants, the queen mother will reward you well."
But Shujia raised her face and smiled: "My daughter does not dare to ask for rewards. As long as the mother is happy, my daughter will be satisfied."
Such a considerate little girl, Li Wei felt warm in her heart, hugged Shujia's neck tightly, touched her little face, and said repeatedly: "Good boy, good boy."
Li Wei still ordered the imperial kitchen to make Shujia her favorite chestnut flour cake.
After dinner, Li Wei, accompanied by Li Xing, walked around in the courtyard of Chongqing Palace. After walking twice, Li Wei felt that his knees hurt again, so he went back to the house.
After Li Wei soaked his feet, he sat on the Luohan bed and read a book. Li Xing was studying a chess book on the table nearby.
"Queen Mother, shall I play a game of chess with you?"
Go? Li Wei hadn't touched it for a long time, so he shook his head and said, "Let's have another day, I want to take a rest."
Li Xing was studying the chess game, but her mind was not entirely on the chess pieces. A man appeared in her mind. She glanced uneasily at the Queen Mother who was leaning back on the large jade pillow and reading a book. The Queen Mother had already untied her bun, and her long hair fell all over the pillow.
Can she tell the Queen Mother about her worries? Although he respected this woman immensely, she was still his sister-in-law. She had taken great care of him at home before. If she really wanted to have a future with that man, she would have to have her sister-in-law nod and approve the marriage.
I think too much and can no longer play chess.
Li Xing sighed softly and helplessly picked up all the black and white chess pieces.
"Third sister..."
When Li Wei heard such a strange call, she quickly raised her head, but with a surprised look on her face: "What's the matter with you?"
"I..." Li Xing lowered his head and wondered whether saying it would make Third Sister think she was shameless or wishful thinking. When the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back. She had too many worries and finally said: "Queen Mother, I'm sleepy and want to go back to sleep first."
The way his sister hesitated to speak made Li Wei a little confused. What did Li Xing want to say to her? Does this little girl know how to hide her thoughts
Finally, Li Wei nodded and said, "Okay, let's go. Shujia is definitely waiting for you to tell her a story. She has to study tomorrow, so she needs to rest well."
However, neither sister could sleep peacefully that night. When Li Wei thinks of Li Xing, she will think of her mother asking her to arrange the marriage between her sister and Zhao Qian. By the end of this year, Zhao Qian's server will be full, and he should have said kiss long ago. They had a relationship once, but those short years made Li Wei feel like they were stolen. Now that Da Meng wakes up, they all have to face reality.
As the Queen Mother and his sister-in-law, it was her duty to prepare for his marriage. Li Xing was a beautiful woman and so young, so she would not humiliate her at all. He is a gentle man, and he will definitely be considerate of his sister and give her a lifetime of stability. In the eyes of outsiders, this must be a good match sent by heaven. As long as he nods, she will marry him.
After thinking wildly for a while, I gradually fell asleep. She dreamed of the countryside in Yongning, sitting on the back seat of Li Minghua's bicycle, and the blazing sunshine made her unable to open her eyes. Li Minghua was pedaling the bicycle hard, and the back of his clothes was soaked with sweat. Li Wei saw the young man standing under the big locust tree. The young man was holding a large bouquet of wild chrysanthemums in his hand. She waved to the boy cheerfully: "Second brother!"
However, Li Jianbo seemed not to see her, turned around and left. As he walked, Li Jianbo's figure suddenly disappeared. She was still on the back seat of the bicycle. She squinted her eyes and looked up at the sky. The strong light filled her eyes with tears.
Why did she have such a sad feeling in her dream? She seemed to hear the melodious sound of a violin coming from her. She was playing the "Butterfly" that she was familiar with. The sound seemed to be coming from the other side of the mountain. , but she couldn't get over that towering mountain.
