"Really?" Li Ling still looked incredulous.

Li Huai was so fascinated by her back then, could she really let go so easily?

Li Huai nodded solemnly and said: "My affairs with her are all over, and I will never make those mistakes again in the future." Then he raised his eyes to look at Li Ling and said, "Life is limited, let's cherish the present." That dream, after so many years, should have woken up. ”

When he said this, Li Huai's eyes were full of memories of the past and relief, as if he was talking about an old past.

Li Ling believed that he had really let go, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, got up and patted him on the back and walked out.

That night, Li Huai stayed by Shu Bei's side until late and still didn't sleep.

Shu Bei was already asleep, but her hand was holding his hand tightly.

He lay down beside her, taking a closer look at her. For the first time, he found out that she was also very good-looking.

Of course, there is no way to compare with the Queen Mother, but she can be regarded as a bit of a beauty.

Now she looks much more flavorful than when she married him.

Maybe it's because I became a mother.

But he prefers to believe that it is because of the nourishment of love.

He was pleased with the discovery.

Now, every day he discovers something new about his marriage, his wife, his children, and his relationship with this family.

As soon as his mood and perspective changed, it was another scene, and he was glad that he woke up in time, otherwise he would not know what would have found that this home and the people in the family were so worthy of cherishing and treating.

Thinking of the time he had spent so many years secretly crushing on someone who could not be together, he felt how fanatical and ridiculous he had been, but he didn't regret it, because if he hadn't had such a period, he might not be in the state of mind he is today.

Moreover, he also gained a wind/flow/past worth recalling for a lifetime, how to say that he actually earned it.

I have to admit that that woman is still the person who can touch his heart the most.

As for Yun Rui, the top brand of Feiyun Pavilion, who died because of him, he thought it out some time ago - he didn't really love her, and the reason why he was infatuated with her at that time was because she looked like the queen mother.

Now, Yun Rui has been buried in the ground, and the Queen Mother has become a person who can no longer be touched, and the two people who have had a close relationship in his life can only be a part of his memory.

From now on, he will spend the rest of his life taking care of and loving the person around him.

Li Huai looked at Shu Bei who was sleeping for a long time, and his heart was gradually filled with a warm warmth.

He thanked her for healing and soothing him with her gentleness and tolerance, and reviving his dead heart. Now, he was going to be doubly kind to her for the sake of her affection for him.

Who doesn't live in this world with scars, but if you want to, you can also give meaning to these scars and make them your motivation and medals.

He reached out and hugged Shu Bei gently, and tears flowed down his face.

Shu Bei woke up at this moment and looked at him who was crying silently.

"Why are you crying?" she asked softly, reaching out to wipe away his tears.

Her eyes were big and bright. It is a pair of gentle eyes that have not changed with years and experiences, exuding vitality and warmth like the morning light in May.

Li Huai looked at her eyes steadily, then slowly pressed his lips to her eyelids, and said, "Because I suddenly found that I have the most precious thing in the world." ”

Shu Bei's bright eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she reached out and hugged his neck tightly, saying, "Me too." Let's protect it together. ”

On 15 November, Li Ling embarked on a journey into Beijing with 10 guards and three carriages.

Of the three carriages, one of them was full of tribute, except for one that was carrying people.

In previous years, Li Ling only brought one cart of tribute to Beijing, but this year it has been generously increased to two, and he himself feels that it is appropriate for him to do so, and he can even imagine the smiles on the faces of Li Pei and the Empress Dowager.

Will the Empress Dowager be disappointed that Li Huai did not enter Beijing? Li Ling felt that she would not, because she herself had severed her ambiguous/ambiguous relationship with Li Huai in advance, and besides, with the Empress Dowager's character, how could she take Li Huai to heart? Therefore, Li Ling was in a very happy mood along the way.

...................

Emperor Li Pei returned safely to the capital on 2 November, and Jiang Chuanxiong immediately led his ministers to greet him at the gate of the palace.

In the past month, Li Pei inspected each district of the four new cities, learned about the local people's conditions, and sent gifts to the people in each district, making them happy and happy.

The people did not expect the emperor to come to visit them in person, so most of them were happy in their hearts, and they also showed due respect for their new king.

As a result, Li Pei's trip successfully won the hearts of the people.

Walking outdoors for a long time has also made Li Pei's whole person dark and thin, but his spirit is even better than before.

Seeing that the emperor had returned in good spirits and safely, all the ministers secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After Li Pei returned to the palace, he immediately listened to the work reports of Jiang Chuanxiong, Guo Yifan, Jun Zipeng, Shangguan Che and Gong Yan, and when he learned that the affairs of the court had been running normally and there had been no major accidents in the past month, Li Pei smiled with satisfaction and immediately rewarded these five people.

Jiang Chuanxiong did not forget to take the opportunity to ask for credit for these four assistants, which made Li Pei even happier when he heard it, so he rewarded everyone with a small bounty.

After the five of them left, Li Pei went to Ciqing Palace to see the Empress Dowager.

The queen mother, who had been worried about Li Pei for a month, dared to put her mind at this time, pulled Li Pei and said for a while, and then changed the conversation and said: "Li Huai's wife gave birth to a boy on November 1. ”

When she said this, the queen mother's smiling face faintly revealed loss, but it was fleeting, so Li Pei didn't notice it, but was overjoyed when she heard it, and said happily: "It's good, I will prepare a full moon gift for this newborn." ”

The Empress Dowager smiled and pressed his hand and said, "I have prepared the full moon ceremony eight days ago, so you don't have to worry about it anymore." He also said, "In a few days, the vassal kings from all over the country will return to Beijing to report on their work, and you will have to be busy at that time." ”

Li Pei smiled and nodded.
