Chapter 652: Master Li, Are You Ready?
ke a look. The well wasn't filled with water, just mist. And there were no fruits on the big trees, only leaves. 。I suppose these are just for decoration and can't be actually used. 。But the thatched...All the officials retreated to both sides. Ye Wenyan, accompanied by Quan Qingcheng, walked step by step towards Yanhuagong.
People looked at the girl's back, though slender, they also felt she was very powerful. Even her maidservants walked out with an unusually confident and composed stride. 。Many people turned to look at the Regent, but they saw that the Regent was also looking at Ye Wenyan's back thoughtfully. 。Those who were once ministers of the Six Palaces, at this moment, also began to feel lost. 。The fact that Ye Si Jie is the Empress Dowager is something that can't be changed. The fact that she wholeheartedly helps the Emperor is also something that can't be changed. 。Then, are the ones who need to change these people His Royal Highness Sixth and the Regent Prince, is there still any meaning in continuing to support them
In January, a batch of officials had already been replaced. The remaining ones lived cautiously, hiding all their thoughts, afraid that someone would notice and have them removed as well.
If everything had come to this, what would they do
At the foot of Mount Yanhuashan, Shi Lifeng waited personally, watching his beloved girl walk towards him step by step. A smile that he could no longer hide appeared on his face. 。He extended his hand and called out, "Madam" 。She gave him a withering look, “You're early." 。“Not yet, it’s only a matter of time.” 。The two walked hand-in-hand up the mountain, all the palace attendants actively and willingly stepped back, following from afar, watching the backs of the Emperor and Empress. 。Everyone was also thinking the same question: this was just a betrothal, what kind of grand celebration would the Emperor use to marry his beloved daughter I'm afraid even offering a dowry wouldn't be enough to express his feelings!Indeed, even a dowry wouldn't be enough to express his feelings. Shi Li Yuan held Ye Wen Yan's hand, feeling the warmth coming from it. It was only at this moment that he truly felt like he was holding a real person, and only at this moment did he feel at ease, no longer worried that the girl would suddenly disappear, vanish from his life. 。He tightened his grip on her hand, and Ye Wenyan struggled slightly, turning her head to ask him, "What's wrong"He shook his head. "Nothing, I just want to hold your hand. It's best if we stay like this forever, never letting go." 。" "It's always been like this, holding on tight, never letting go!" She reached out with her other hand and poked his waist with her index finger. "Shi Li Yuan, what do you mean Why are you letting go of my hand" He chuckled, "Don't be so literal. Holding on forever is just a technique." 。Just like you are always pulling, it is just a way. 。"At least now we rarely see each other, and most of the time we can't even hold hands, right A-yan, now that your hands are warm, doesn't it mean you've truly arrived in this world and won't leave again"
She understood, "So all along you were worried that I wasn't really here..." 。Actually, that's not true. I truly came before, but Ye Si Jie's wish wasn't fulfilled yet, so she wouldn't give me this body whole. 。I've told you about this before, you probably didn't really believe me. 。Now this body completely belongs to me, not only does it have temperature, but when I encounter some things, I no longer feel the instinctive reaction from this body. 。My connection with Night Sister Four is severed, besides the memories I still have of her. I am myself, not someone else. 。He was delighted, "So good." 。"
"Master Li Yibian"
She asked him, "Are you ready Come with me and leave Lin'an City for the Endless Sea" He nodded. "There's nothing to prepare. For four hundred years, I've wanted to go wherever I please, unburdened." 。He looked at her, “Now that you’re here, my life has someone to care for.” 。But if you walk with me, then there's nothing to worry about. 。But you, despite being an outsider, seem to have more concerns than I do. 。“ She smiled, “Yes, maybe that’s the difference between men and women! Of course, it also has to do with status.” 。You stand above all, now the only one left. So you have nothing to worry about. 。And although I am an outsider, I fell into the world as soon as I arrived, and inevitably became entangled by it. 。After finally getting all the chores done, and truly having this body to myself, I found that in the process, those relatives and friends I thought I shouldn't care about had become burdens I couldn't let go of, nor did I want to. 。You shoulder this, I shoulder the family, each with our own duties, that's how we live life. 。Just now we were still in the palanquin. The day before yesterday, I watched Quan Qingcheng and Zhuier make things difficult for Prince Suyuan. It was also to let them have one last carefree fight before I left. Perhaps for a long time after I'm gone, they won't have such a chance to argue and bicker so recklessly again. 。There will always be a catastrophe that everyone has to face, and they are all the same. 。For the future of humanity, so that our descendants can recover their normal lifespans, our generation will ultimately have to make sacrifices. 。At that time, I didn't know who among these people would survive the disaster and who would perish in it. Therefore, I cherished each and every one of them. That is why, during this carefree period now, not only do they cherish it, but so do I. 。“
After taking the last step, Yanhuada Hall came into view.
The palace maids in purple attire knelt down to greet them, shouting: "Greetings to Your Majesty, the Empress!" 。“ Age is to be with the same age, but how many ages are there Perhaps it also has a lifespan, but the lifespan is too long, and no human being can yet fathom it. 。The palace banquet was set for noon. After dispersing from court, the officials immediately returned home to prepare for the feast. 。All members of the Ye family were invited, and the Mu family was also included. 。Because there have been many changes in the Mu family these days, Mu's condition has not been good. She couldn't sleep at night and didn't want to make up for sleep during the day. Ye Qingmei asked a doctor from the medical hall to take a look, prescribed several doses of medicine to eat, barely maintaining 。She wanted to stay away, after all, even if she took medicine, it was taboo for the sick to enter the palace. She was also afraid of spreading her illness to others. 。But Ye Feiyu said, "Mother must go. Our father is gone, and now you are the only parent left." 。"A-Niang's betrothal, if you don't even show up, what does that mean Does our Night family disagree with this marriage, or do we look down on the Emperor, not even giving him face Or do you think in your heart A-Niang isn't your daughter, so it doesn't matter whether you go or not" "If today was one of our children being betrothed, would you still skip it then" Mu shi's face turned ugly at these words. Ye Qingmei stepped in to smooth things over: "Brother means that we are a family, so no matter what happens to anyone, the whole family has to face it together, solve it together, celebrate together, and witness it together." 。So, Mother, you absolutely must go. Only if you go will this marriage be truly valid, and only then will this ceremony be considered proper. 。As for your illness, what kind of illness is this You don't have a fever or cough, you just have qi stagnation in your heart. The medicine prescribed is also for regulating qi. After taking a few doses, you'll be fine and there's no need to avoid talking about it. 。"Mu sighed, "I don't treat her as a daughter because she isn't mine. I just feel ashamed to face the Emperor."
"The more I think about it, the more I feel like I owe that child an apology. Now I'm begging the Emperor to perform a supercession for Lianlian, and I even have to sit in Yanhuadeng as her mother-in-law. Do I even deserve that Wouldn't you all find me ridiculous" Night Feiyu interrupted her thoughts, frowning: "There's nothing ridiculous about it. As long as you treat her as your daughter, she will treat you as her mother" 。As the eldest son, I hope our family can finally be together without any more rifts. 。Whether it's towards Yani or Lianlian, don't treat them as different people. 。As long as the mother can truly care, they will also return with true care. Only then will our family's new life truly begin. 。Please help Mother change her clothes, it's getting late and we should head to the palace. 。“ Night Fourth Sister still lives in the same courtyard she used to, nothing has changed. Even though Sixth Prince had ransacked it, Ye Wenyan quietly repaired everything after she returned.” 。Waking up on her familiar bed, when she opened her eyes, she saw Xiangdong standing by her bedside waiting to serve her. Ye Si had a moment where she felt like she was dreaming 。But her dream was quickly shattered by Xiangdong, who said to her coldly: “Sister Two, if you’re done sleeping, get up. It’s almost noon, and it’s time to go to the palace for the banquet.” 。“Well, she took another deep breath and said, “The smell of alcohol is still quite strong. Sister Two, perhaps you should drink less in the future, or if you want to drink, find a secluded place to do so. Don't drink too much and let Young Master Two and Fifth Sister send you back, don't always trouble others.” 。"
Ye Sijie sat up and squinted at Xiangdong. The more she looked, the more she realized she wasn't dreaming because Xiangdong mentioned drinking. She remembered last night's banquet at Yuhuage where she was drunk by Gu Yue Junzhu. " 。She tapped her head and looked at Xiangdong, saying helplessly: "Hey! What's your attitude I'm the one who's drunk, but why is it you who's lost your memory You look at me like I'm a night owl. Don't tell me you've forgotten Wake up, Xiangdong, I'm your former master, I'm Night Four, not Night Two" 。"By the way, how did you get here Shouldn't you be attending to Ye Wenyan What brings you to me"
Xiang Dong gave her a glance. "The Fourth Sister ordered me to serve you. You’ve returned after such a long time, it wouldn't do to have no capable maidservant by your side." 。I am well acquainted with your wishes, having served you for over half a year now. She trusts my character implicitly, which is why she sent me here. 。"Didn't you forget " Ye Si Jie laughed, "You didn't forget, so I'm not your sister and your nose isn't your nose, and your face isn't your face!" 。Well then, what's with the face Is it because Ye Wen doesn't let you follow her anymore, or is it because you find me looking like Ye Lianmeng unpleasant now Xiangdong ah, don't judge a book by its cover! Look at my burning heart! My fiery heart feels like it's on fire right now. Could you please get me something cool to drink I... I might not be sober yet! to propose marriage. I had made all the preparations, even the feast at Yan Hua Palace was ready, just waiting for the engagement ceremony to entertain your family..." 。But right now, it seems the ba...
