It has been more than a month since I saw Ji Bai again. I don't know what the current affairs are planning, but the whole capital knows that the Prime Minister has found a sweet wife who was lost in the war, and even spoiled the sweet wife as a treasure in the palm of his hand. He took his wife to play, and visited almost the whole of Kyoto.
Every day, the prime minister took his wife to gossip about where he went and what he ate. Ji Bai in the silk and satin village just listened indifferently, and occasionally had a cup of tea. He knew that Shi Zheng was only guilty of Yu Yue. No matter how much Shi Zheng did, it would not be able to fill the gap for the past six years, and now Yu Yue is not the simple-minded girl who was full of current affairs six years ago. , after seeing the coldness of the world and experiencing the hardships of life, her heart has long been riddled with holes, and any disturbance is terrifying and fatal to her. The officialdom is no better than the common people, and the current affairs cannot give her to Yu Yue. desired stability.
"You're here?" Ji Bai put down the teacup in his hand. It was no surprise that Yu Yue would come here. He was always confident.
Yu Yue just stood at the door with her head lowered and didn't speak, like a child who had done something wrong, uneasy.
In the end, Ji Bai reached out and pulled her to the reception room, and asked the servants to make tea and bring her over.
Ji Bai put the tea in Yu Yue's hand, and raised his eyes slightly to observe Yu Yue, "I thought you would be here a while longer, but I didn't expect you to come so soon. Did the novelty of current affairs end so soon? "
Yu Yue shook her head, "No, the current affairs treat me well."
"Then what are you doing here?" Ji Bai was a little angry, "Yu Yue, I'm not you, I can't listen to you praise in front of me how well your sweetheart treats you."
Yu Yue was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that, don't be angry."
Time has smoothed out the bright edges and corners of Yu Yue, and it is no longer as fresh as before. It is no different from those who carefully curry favor with him. Ji Bai is very uncomfortable.
After calming down, Ji Bai turned his head away from her, "Then what are you doing here?"
Yu Yue lowered her head again, "I don't know either, I just came here because I suddenly wanted to see you."
If it wasn't for being wronged, or feeling uncomfortable, Yu Yue wouldn't think of herself. In this regard, Yu Yue is as selfish as Shi Zheng. Yu Yue is the placebo when the current politics is difficult, he is the placebo when Yu Yue is uncomfortable, he should not have seen her, but there is a little flame in his heart, thinking that she may be in trouble is like a bucket When the oil was poured in, a high flame burst into flames, and I couldn't help but want to see her again.
Facing Yu Yue, Ji Bai confessed his fate, "What happened?"
Yu Yue shook her head again, "Nothing happened, I just feel very uneasy, and I don't know why."
"Didn't Shizheng take you to the wedding banquet of the Minister of Rites yesterday? Did those long-tongued women say something?" He knew Yu Yue too well. Now she is a quail and can't stand the sarcasm of others. Don't look at her indifferent appearance, but she buried her true emotions in her heart, and problems will arise over time.
"How do you know!" Yu Yue stared at him with wide eyes, Ji Bai was like a roundworm in her stomach, she knew everything.
After a while, Ji Bai said earnestly, "Yuyue, the current affairs are not suitable for you, he can't give you the life you want."
Yu Yue was startled, she actually knew it in her heart, but the current affairs of being considerate seemed like a dream, and she was not willing to finish this dream so quickly.
"Six years ago, he didn't like you, so I advised you to leave him at that time. Six years later, I still want to advise you to leave him. He is a proud man, and he lives in a thrilling officialdom. The men there are cold and harsh. Women are not easy to be with, you are simple-minded and won’t intrigue, so you will only become a stumbling block that those people will clear up in an instant, you have a hard life, and the current affairs will be implicated because of you.”
Ji Bai's words made Yu Yue terrified. Even when she returned to the prime minister's mansion, Yu Yue felt uneasy in her heart and didn't eat a few bites of dinner.
There is something going on in the current affairs, and I have to come back at night, but at this time the emperor rewarded a few beauties and sent them to the mansion.
The eunuch who sent the people became angry when he saw Yu Yue's petite appearance, "What's the matter, the prime minister's wife doesn't even have this kind of grace? Let's not say that there are not many wives and concubines in this family of officials and eunuchs in Kyoto. This is sent by the saint today, are you trying to resist the decree? If you don’t say that you will be punished, I am afraid that even the prime minister will not be able to explain to your majesty. I really don’t know where you are as a court woman! Look at us The Prime Minister is quite a shrewd person, how can there be a fool like you!"
After he finished speaking, he left the enchanting beauties wandering away, leaving Yu Yue kneeling there in fear, for fear that he did something wrong, offended the emperor, and went wrong.
It was already late at night when Shi Zheng came back, and Yu Yue was still sitting alone in the lobby with tears on her face.
Seeing Yu Yue like this, the housekeeper didn't dare to leave and could only accompany him. When he saw Shi Zheng's return, he hurried forward to explain the situation.
Shi Zheng, who understood the cause and effect, quickly explained to send some money to the eunuch who came to deliver the beauty tonight and let the housekeeper leave. Shi Zheng sighed softly at Yu Yue, and then stepped forward and pulled Yu Yue back to the room, "I have everything, no need to worry. ."
Yu Yue looked at Shi Zheng tremblingly, "Did I cause you trouble?"
"No." Shi Zheng looked very relaxed, and smiled slightly, "It's not a big deal, what to do with such fear."
It seems that in Shizheng's eyes, there is nothing he can't handle, and she is like a burden and can't do anything. She will also make Shizheng difficult because she offends others. Ji Bai is right, she is really not suitable to stay in Shizheng. It was not suitable before, and it is not suitable now.
Not long after Shizheng went to inspect other provinces, Yu Yuejue should also leave. If she said goodbye to Shizheng face-to-face, she would not be able to say it. Shizheng is her life's 'swan meat' is too sweet, she did not that courage. The current politics also feels more guilt than love for her. He will not agree to her leaving. Maybe it is good for everyone in this way.
What Yu Yue didn't expect was that Shi Qiu and Qing Huan also packed up their salutes and wanted to leave with her.
Shi Qiu said, "I don't like to read those four books and five classics. My eldest brother wants me to be an official, but I want to be a doctor even more."
Qing Huan said: "Most of the girls in this circle look down on me, they think I'm too rude, and I don't like them either. It's boring to die if there are no two doors, but I still like to be free to go wherever I want to go. Where, sister-in-law, let's go back to Yuexi Village."
Yu Yue cried and laughed, it turned out that she was not the only one who felt uncomfortable and didn't like it.
He didn't tell Ji Bai about Yu Yue's departure. He just went to see Ji Sang while Ji Bai was away. Most of the servants of Ji's family knew Yu Yue, so they let her in.
When Ji Bai knew that Yu Yue left, it was already the same night. Although Ji Sang was still young, he already had the appearance of an adult. Yu Yue couldn't write, so he asked Ji Sang to tell Ji Bai orally.
"Mother said she's gone, let you find a good girl and get married quickly." Ji Sang blinked and conveyed truthfully, "Uncle, mother also said that if I miss her, I will write to her. came back?"
That cruel woman! Just leave, she really didn't give him a chance. She used to be and now is, she was always so ruthless to him, Ji Bai paused and continued to eat dinner, and then rubbed Ji Sang's little head again after a while." If she doesn't come back, we'll go find her and see you all."
Yu Yue left, and also took his younger siblings. They walked very cleanly. Nothing in the house was touched. She didn't take any of the things he bought for her. She was the only one who left.
The housekeeper found the carriage for them, saying that they wanted to go back to their hometown to worship their ancestors. The housekeeper saw that Shi Qiu and Qinghuan were still behind her and had no doubts, so he let them leave. Come back from the province to find out.
Shi Zheng's heart seemed to be gripped, sore and tight, almost as uncomfortable as he could not breathe.
Shizheng did not go after them, but went to other provinces, but came back ten days earlier than expected.
The emperor knew that Yu Yue had left, and the beauty was also sent by him when the current affairs were away, in order to let Yu Yue retreat despite the difficulties and let her understand the gap between her and them. A village woman also wanted to be the wife of the prime minister. , a fool's dream. Of course, the most important thing is that he wants to fight for his sister. Ever since the princess found out that the prime minister does not want to marry her, he has been making trouble in the palace every day. give her.
Things have been developing according to his thoughts, but unfortunately he guessed the beginning and failed to guess the ending.
Originally, he wanted to reward the emperor who was efficient and efficient in the current affairs, but he was confused by the resignation letter of the current affairs. The emperor was puzzled. He knew that Yu Yue was gone and did not chase after him. Is it that important? why even...
"Aiqing, what is the meaning of this?" The emperor looked at the current affairs very puzzled.
"Your Majesty, the world has been decided, you will be famous for a generation of Mingjun for eternity, and the minister has nothing to worry about. The minister is tired and wants to rest." Shi Zheng said respectfully.
"Then I will give the Prime Minister some time to rest..."
"Your Majesty" Before the emperor could finish speaking, Shizheng interjected, "Do you have someone you can always care about in your dreams?"
The emperor was startled, a figure quickly flashed across his mind, and his face became a little lonely and sad.
"I don't want to live with regret and concern all my life." Shi Zheng threw off his robe and bowed to the emperor, "I hope your majesty will be fulfilled."
When Shizheng was leaving, the emperor stood above the city gate and watched his carriage whizz by, his fists clenched.
The eunuch serving on the side asked, "Since Your Majesty is reluctant to part, why not let the Prime Minister be chased back."
The emperor looked at the shadow that was drifting away, "If people can come back, their hearts won't come back, what's the use of chasing after them, besides, my country doesn't need a prime minister who is full of troubles!"
Having said that, such a current emperor is envious. He can give up everything for love, but now he can't do it. When he chooses to ascend to the ninety-five supreme, he has no way back.
