Empress: The Old Emperor's Way to Pursue His Wife

Chapter 151: The Soul (8)

Mei Qing picked up a pen to write on a small piece of paper, and after a while he folded the piece of paper in a special way, put it into a very small bamboo tube, and stuffed it.

Take out the pigeon, tie the bamboo tube to the pigeon's leg, go to the window and let the pigeon fly.

Qiu Zhu looked at the pigeons that had been released, his heart was filled with mist, and his face was full of sadness.

"Mr. Mei, go to bed early."

Before the words were finished, Qiu Zhu's figure jumped onto the wall of the Prime Minister's Mansion again, and gradually moved away.

Looking at the black shadow that was getting smaller and smaller in front of her eyes, Mei Qing couldn't help sighing.

How could he not know what Qiu Zhu said 'Emotions may not be able to control feelings', if he could really control them, he should have let go by now, so how could it be...

Walking back to the desk, Mei Qing looked softly at the unturned booklet.

After years of recording, he has already entered his mind one by one, even without turning a page, he can clearly remember the writing and drawing on each page of the book.

This penetrating lovesickness and soul-stirring love is the reason why his life is broken. After drinking that bowl of Mengpo soup, he may not be able to get rid of it.

Qiu Zhu's figure went straight to the palace. As soon as she entered the palace gate, she was immediately spotted by the hidden guards, because she didn't deliberately hide, and because she suddenly realized that she didn't know where to find Li Zhong.

In the past, Li Zhong was Xiao Xi'er's personal secret guard, as long as he approached Xiao Xi'er, Li Zhong could be found.

But these days when she was in the palace, Li Zhongdu had already become her personal bodyguard, accompanying her to the imperial dining room under the Guojian Temple.

But she never asked Li Zhong... "Where is your bedroom?"

Every time we parted, Li Zhong stood in front of her door, watching her close the door and extinguish the candle before leaving.

Now in the middle of the night, could he have returned to his original position, serving as Xiao Xi'er's personal secret guard?
Qiu Zhu didn't want to waste time, so he made the most stupid method.

Sure enough, she was arrested as soon as she entered the palace, and then she successfully met the person she wanted to see.

"Xiaozhu, why are you here at this hour?" Li Zhong came in from the door, dressed in a snow-white robe.

Qiu Zhu stared blankly at the white shadow in front of him, two lines of hot tears poured out from his eyes.

Li Zhong panicked, "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Did they treat you badly or hurt you?"

Li Zhong looked at Qiu Zhu's body anxiously, trying to find out why.

Qiu Zhu shook his head and wiped his tears, "No, no."

This was her intention, so she didn't make any resistance when she was caught, and thus avoided accidental injury.

"Then what's wrong with you?" Li Zhong looked at the teardrops falling from Qiu Zhu's eyes, and his heart ached.

"It's nothing, I, I just miss you." Qiu Zhu threw himself into Li Zhong's arms, hugging the man tightly with his thin arms.

Qiu Zhu's enthusiasm made Li Zhong dumbfounded, and subconsciously embraced the little girl who was crying out of shape with both hands, comforting silently.

It wasn't until Qiu Zhu fell asleep in his arms tired from crying that Li Zhong picked him up and walked out of the room.

The guard at the gate saluted very respectfully and called: "General Li."

"Hush." ​​Li Zhong glanced at the person who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and then he was relieved, and carefully carried her back to his bedroom.

Putting Qiu Zhu gently on the bed and covering it with brocade quilt, Li Zhong sat on the side of the bed, holding Qiu Zhu's little hand, snickering and falling asleep.

The next day, Queen's College House.

Both Xiao Xi'er and Wei Wei got up early in the morning, had a hasty breakfast, and went to the academy mansion to sit obediently in their respective seats and wait for the new teacher to teach.

It just so happened that the original Tutor just finished visiting relatives and returned to work. As soon as he came in, he was surprised to see his two students waiting here honestly.

The Taifu is an old scholar who is more than a year old, and he has a learned appearance... To put it simply, it is gray hair, white beard, dizzy old eyes, and dizzy brain.

"Your Royal Highness! Young Master Wei?" The old matriarch rubbed his dizzy old eyes to make sure it wasn't his.

Xiao Xi'er grinned: "Old master, why are you back today? Why don't you stay at home for a while longer?"

The old lady Fu smiled gratifiedly: "The old minister also thinks about it, but as long as the old minister thinks that His Royal Highness is still in the palace waiting for the old minister to teach, the old minister can't wait to return to Beijing soon, and don't delay His Highness's study time because of the old minister's personal reasons." It is."

"Really, but Mr. Taifu, is it too short for you to return to your hometown this time? Do you want this hall to extend your vacation? Is it good for you to be so long?"

Xiao Xi'er gestured for a width with both hands, and seemed to feel something was wrong, so she opened it wider again.

"It's so long... um? No... it's so long... it's so long..."

The two small arms had expanded to the maximum width, and the old lady Fu kept saying that she couldn't do it.

Xiao Xi'er laughed to herself, winking at Wei Wei frequently.

Wei Wei smiled in contrast, and then quietly looked at the few people who came to the door who didn't know when, sweating profusely on his forehead.

"Xi'er...Xiao Xi'er..." Wei Wei called Xiao Xi'er a few times but didn't hear her, and still laughed heartily.

"Xiao Xi, you are really capable." Xiao Yi's voice resounded from the door.

Wei Wei covered his head with his hands in silent mourning, Xiao Xi'er can't blame me, it's not that I'm not strong enough to protect you, but...

"Mother's queen!" Xiao Xi'er looked at the door in horror, her two little arms, which had been stretched so painfully for a long time, drooped down, and said sullenly: "Xi'er has seen father, queen and mother...Mr. Mei."

The last word Mr. Mei was full of secret joy, Xiao Yi's angry eyes became colder and colder, and even Xiao Yi couldn't help showing Mei Qing his face.

"The old minister kowtowed to the emperor and queen." After the old matriarch Fu bowed and saluted, he was surprised to see the people behind the emperor and empress.

"Mo... Mo..."

Mei Qing took two steps forward, clasped her fists and saluted: "Mei Qing has met Grand Tutor."

"Mei Qing?" The old lady Fu couldn't help scratching her head and thinking carefully, with a puzzled look on her face. "Why does the old man think you look familiar?"

"Pfft." Xiao Yi snickered, took two steps forward and said, "Old Master, there are many wonders in this world, not to mention the similarity of this person's face, it's not too much to say that they look familiar."

Isn't Xiao Yi blatantly misleading the old lady!Xiao Yi glanced at him coldly.

Xiao Xi'er and Wei Wei are both here, isn't Xiao Yi teaching the children badly?

Xiao Yi stepped forward and took the old master, and while talking to him in detail, led him out of the school. In the blink of an eye, the empress took the old master away.

Xiao Xi'er poked her head to watch the figure of the old master disappear, and shouted: "Mr. Mei, you are finally here, what are you going to teach us today?"

Mei Qing looked at the emperor beside her who was not looking well, and coughed a few times. "emperor."

Xiao Yi: "Mr. Mei, please help yourself."

Mei Qing nodded and walked to the teaching desk, flipping through the books on the desk.

"Xi'er Wei'er, what did the old master tell you in the past? Where did he talk about it?"

Xiao Xi'er frowned and thought carefully, then shook her head: "I don't remember."

Then he turned his head to look at Wei Wei, who also shook his head.

He had only been in the palace for a few days, and he had just attended such a class, not to mention that his thoughts in this class were all on Xiao Xi'er, even the old matriarch Fu talked about it.

If it wasn't for Xiao Xi'er, he would have fallen asleep long ago.

Well, in the old days when he was in the prime minister's mansion, all the teachers his father invited for him were good teachers, so he snorted back.

It was for this reason that his father sent him to the palace, in order to get rid of his disrespectful behavior.The result was unexpected...

Mei Qing: "It's okay if you don't remember, today I will tell Xi'er and Wei'er about the places I have been to, and talk about the customs and customs of those places."

"Yeah."

Little Xi'er was making a fuss, Wei Wei was listening, Mei Qing began to explain the places he had visited, and let Xi'er, the future monarch, know how delicate her country is.

This scene made Xiao Yi return to the past in a daze, and saw the scene when he first established a master-student relationship with Mo Yanxiao.

If it wasn't for Mei Qing's insistence, Xiao Xi'er and Wei Wei would also formally invite tea apprentices, just like him.

After listening quietly for a while, Xiao Yi quietly backed out, walking steadily towards where he was going.

Across the window sill, Mei Qing vaguely glanced at the receding figure of the emperor.

Xiao Yi is no longer the little girl she was back then, and this emperor is no longer the young emperor he met for the first time, let alone the foolish king that the little girl said back then.

With full wings, it is also time for him to become an emperor through the ages and create a myth handed down from generation to generation.

In the imperial study room, after Xiao Yi sent the old master back, she came here to start what she must do every day.

Review the memorials and copywriting submitted every day.

Because she and Xiao Yi are diligent in political affairs, they have never accumulated many papers. In addition, the country's affairs are becoming more and more peaceful, and they live a relaxed and happy life on weekdays.

The current Great Chu can be regarded as a peaceful and prosperous age, as long as Sanata can get rid of his thoughts on Xiao Shu, then this border will be safe for a while.

In the news sent back by Xiao Shu in the past few years, there are also developments in border neighboring countries.

The neighboring countries that all participated in the war back then have also entered a state of recuperation. If there are no accidents, they should have been stable for the past hundred years.

Except... Rong Di Khan said that he wanted them to rub Sanata's spirit, but this was only from the mouth of the envoys, and there was no proof.

They rejected Sanata after Bao Buqi, and Rong Di would use this as an excuse to start a war against Da Chu.

This matter is difficult.

The best solution is to let Sanata retreat and reject the marriage on her own, but what should she do?
Xiao Yi's hand holding the pen holder paused slightly, and the thick ink droplets gradually blurred on the copywriting rice paper.

"Empress Empress, Empress Empress."

Thinking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will come.Xiao Yi frowned with a headache, and put down the brush in her hand.

Sanata rushed in front of her, without saluting, she opened her mouth and said, "What you said, Empress, Sanata has thought about it for a whole day and night."

"To be honest, Sanata doesn't know if he can bear Xiao Shu's kindness to other women, but Sanata will feel very uncomfortable when he thinks that he will never be able to see Xiao Shu again."

"Empress, do you know what it would be like if you could never see the person you like again? Do you know what liking is?"

"Sanata doesn't know if you understand what I said, but Sanata has already decided that no matter what happens in the future, I must marry Xiao Shu and be his woman."

"Even if he will never like Sanata, even if he will keep pampering other women, Sanata still likes him, Sanata wants to be with him, Sanata wants to marry him, do His wife."

Some bold words made Xiao Yi's brows furrow even tighter.

She knew that these words alone could not change Sanata's mind.What should she do?To make the girl in front of her give up?

Sanata in front of her had a haggard face, her eyes were bloodshot, and her messy hair had not been combed.

With this appearance, it was clearly a sleepless night.

Looking at his expression, he seemed to have changed overnight.

Sanata is sincere to Xiao Shu.But Xiao Shu didn't care about her, how could Xiao Yi give Sanata to Xiao Shu because of political reasons.

This is unfair to both Xiao Shu and Sanata.

She, Xiao Yi, what should I do with this stubborn little girl?
Gollum...

Gollum... Gollum...

Just when Xiao Yi didn't know what to do, Sanata's belly sang a food summoning song, which made Sanata blush.

After she ran away in anger yesterday, she hid in her room and lay on the bed without seeing food or eating.

No, at this critical moment, Little Belly is a very timely sonata, at least in Xiao Yi's eyes.

Xiao Yi: "Hungry? I'm such a big person, I don't know how to take care of myself."

Xiao Yi got up from the chair, went to the table and held Sanata's hand, and went to the side hall specially used for a short rest.
