When we were there, we each had our own careers, so we were rarely together. We were so far apart that we could only call each other when we remembered each other. But it was not that difficult to meet each other. Even if we were separated by an ocean, a plane ticket could solve all the problems.
The two came together after opening up their hearts, and they were always full of joy when they reunited after a long absence. Now that he is traveling far away again, Li Wei has already felt calm when facing him.
"How long will it take for the prince to leave here?"
"I won't be able to come back before the Mid-Autumn Festival. There will be too much time wasted on the road. If everything goes well, I may have to go to other places and visit the two provinces and Guangdong."
"Then it will be at least the end of the year if we come back."
"Yes, there are many things that I want to see for myself. I have been a vassal king for many years, but I have never been to the fiefdom. When I was young, my grandfather celebrated his birthday and went to my grandfather's house according to the order of his father. Since then, he has been There is no chance to leave the capital." Queen Sheng's natal family is less than a thousand miles away in Shanxi.
Li Wei also wanted to go out for a walk, but she was trapped in this palace and couldn't escape.
"Because I have to travel far, I came to say goodbye to the Queen Mother." Zhao Qian said again: "I have already arranged the matters in the court, and there is nothing to worry about, but..." Zhao Qian said and looked at the sitting lady again. The woman on the kang.
Li Wei was wearing a peacock blue summer shirt today, with a silver pattern on the shirt. It is said that the pattern is made of seed embroidery, with a green pleated skirt tied underneath, and the skirt is edged with a light yellow lace that is a few inches wide. The edges of the teeth are embroidered with dense curly grass patterns. A pair of sapphire blue embroidered shoes hidden under the skirt can be faintly seen.
She was also seen wearing a side bun, with only a South Pearl hairpin in her hair, and a white rose flower on her left temple. On his ears he wore a pair of silver lilacs.
In his memory, she had not worn brightly colored clothes for a long time, because she was newly widowed, and those bright colors seemed to be out of the question in her life. In fact, her skin is as white as snow, so she is most suitable for wearing red clothes, which makes her skin white and rosy.
Zhao Qian was describing Li Wei's other appearance in detail in his mind. He still clearly remembered that Li Wei had short, ear-length hair at that time. In time, even short hair is neatly managed. Wearing a beige long windbreaker with a black knitted skirt underneath and a pair of black short boots.
At that time, she looked like a strong professional woman, capable and neat, but she was full of hostility towards him and was wary of him at every turn. A high wall was built in my heart.
The body is so close, the mind is far away. These two sentences are the most profound portrayal at the moment.
Next to her stood a palace maid, and there were many eunuchs and palace ladies waiting outside. There was no place for her to speak freely.
After Zhao Qian had eaten the honeydew, a palace maid brought him hot water and asked him to wash his hands. After washing his hands, he took out the handkerchief in his sleeve and wiped them. Then he sat upright on the chair below.
"Your Majesty, you have a long way to go, so please take good care of me, Your Majesty."
Zhao Qian nodded with a smile and said: "Don't forget the Queen Mother's instructions. I also plan to come back at the end of the year to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday. So I will try my best to come back before then."
Her birthday here is still December 24th, but this date falls on the lunar calendar, just in time for the Little New Year.
On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, the late emperor had already celebrated his birthday, but what could a widow like her do to celebrate her birthday? Her three-year service had not yet been completed.
Li Wei said calmly: "I don't celebrate my birthday. You should try your best to come back in time for the late emperor's anniversary ceremony. You will be needed to take charge of the situation then."
Zhao Qian clearly saw the alienation and indifference in Li Wei's eyes. That snow scene in Scotland has long been engraved in his heart and will never be forgotten in this lifetime. Unfortunately, there will never be a time when they hold hands again, and the affection they once had has turned into cold memories.
"Queen mother..."
The brisk voice was Shujia's return. Li Wei, who had lowered his head, now sat upright. The curtain at the door swayed slightly, and a small figure flashed in, followed by Fu. Guang, the one walking at the end is Li Xing.
Li Xing and Shujia saluted Zhao Qian together. Zhao Qian nodded and said with a smile: "I sent the emperor to pay his respects to the Queen Mother, because I have to go on a long journey, so I stopped by to say goodbye. Ninth Princess, please listen carefully to your mother's words."
Shujia asked hurriedly: "Where is the emperor going?"
"Go to Shandong."
Shujia tilted her little head to think about it and then said: "I heard people say that WF's kites are beautiful. Can Uncle Huang bring a beautiful kite back for me?"
Zhao Qian nodded naturally and said, "It's a trivial matter, I promise it'll be fine." Then he asked Li Xing, "What does the fifth girl like? I can bring it back along the way."
Li Xing's heart was pounding, and she didn't dare to look directly into Zhao Qian's eyes. She even stuttered when she spoke: "I... dare not ask the prince for... what..."
Zhao Qian said softly: "Good girl, don't be nervous."
Li Xing's face turned red instantly. When she wanted to ask for a kite, Zhao Qian was already asking Li Wei.
"Whatever the Queen Mother needs, I will help the Queen Mother with it."
Li Wei said calmly: "Chongqing Palace lacks nothing."
Chongqing Palace naturally lacks everything, but the person Zhao Qian wants to give gifts to most is Li Wei.
Li Wei secretly glanced at Li Xing, only to see that his sister was blushing and feeling a little uncomfortable. He could no longer understand what she was thinking. Should we create some opportunities for the two of us
With this thought, Li Wei took Shujia's hand and said, "Let's go and take you to the blooming bowl of lotus in the vat over there. Don't you like it? It has bloomed today and the flowers are still yellow."
Shujia also looked surprised, and then followed her mother out, leaving only Li Xing and Zhao Qian in the room.
Zhao Qian had already stood up and looked like he was about to leave, but Li Xing stopped him.
"Your Majesty, I have already thought about what I want. Will you bring it for me?"
When Zhao Qian heard this, he turned around, looked at Li Xing and smiled and said, "Yes, tell me what you want."
"I want the painting painted by the prince."
Zhao Qian was obviously a little surprised, but he quickly said: "Haha, I'll give you one later."
When Li Xing saw that Zhao Qian agreed, he immediately said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhao Qian said with a gentle smile: "Fifth girl, you don't have to be too polite. You live in Chongqing Palace, it would be good to spend more time with the Queen Mother and relieve her boredom. If you feel bored after being bored in the palace for a long time, you can go with the Queen Mother If you go to Taoist temples or temples to escape the heat, life will go by faster.”
These words naturally had a different meaning to Li Xing. She never expected that the regent who looked majestic and cold could have such a considerate side. The little deer in her heart was racing, and the girl's emotions were clearly written in her eyes, which made her bravely look at Zhao Qian, her red lips parted slightly: "It's better to be at home than to be outside. Please take care of yourself, Your Majesty."
Zhao Qian nodded and agreed: "I will, thank you Fifth Miss for your concern."
