Pearl looked at the man in front of her.
He is indeed old.
The mustaches were even longer.
The hair on the temples is already a little gray.
It was supposed to be a fair and handsome face, but now it is not as wrinkled as before.
His hands rested on her shoulders, and she felt the heat of those hands.
It was as if two warm forces were slowly injecting into her body.
The person in front of him is like a huge source of heat.
Her body, which was almost trembling, suddenly warmed up.
Almost at the same time, she held out her hand.
hugged the person in front.
His chest was not as broad and strong as it was when he was younger.
She leaned there, a little hard, and she was a little uncomfortable.
But this chest is so warm, but it is so reluctant to leave.
It's rare that Taifu didn't push her away.
What's even rarer is that he even stretched out his hand and hugged her gently.
She was shaking.
The shaking was severe.
He was trembling too.
His hands were shaking all the time.
But he didn't let her go.
"You ........"
Pearl wanted to say something, but she still didn't say it.
It turns out that there are some words, even if he doesn't say them, he understands them.
It turns out that the previous days were not in vain.
He was still the one who knew her best.
In his heart, whether he admits it or not, there is a place reserved for her.
Even though she is not eligible to live in it now.
But this warm embrace is so tempting.
She couldn't help but want to hug him.
Never let go.
She was so jealous, jealous of the woman who rightfully possessed this embrace.
She was jealous, jealous of his daughter, who could always have this gentle man as a father.
And her child will have to face such a father in the future.
In the face of her mother, who is so incompetent that she doesn't even have feelings for him.
"It's the first time and it will be the last. If you want to cry, just cry. It's going to feel better if you cry out.........."
"You...... Yang Yuandao, you fool.........!
She couldn't hold back any longer.
All the feelings gushed out at once.
Like a child, she threw herself into his arms and cried loudly.
Without any restraint, just like that, cry loudly.
The pain inside, the pain inside.
She thought only she knew.
But now it seems that, in fact, this man also understands her.
It turns out that many things are really more than one-sided.
"I don't understand your thoughts, but you can't do that..... Pearl, let it go. There are some things that let go bring you more. The child you are carrying, he will definitely bring you things that the emperor cannot give you in the future. Believe me, you won't be lonely in the future. β
Lonely.
She was afraid.
She was afraid to die of loneliness.
She hated loneliness.
She tasted loneliness.
She had always been alone.
So she is more afraid of loneliness.
"I ...... Am I really, not going to be alone?"
She lifted her head slowly from his arms.
Before the tears from the corners of her eyes could be wiped dry, her face, her eyes, were wet.
It emits a soft light.
"No, you won't be alone. You will become happy. It will definitely become happy. β
Even in that cannibalistic palace.
She'll be happy, too.
Because God was too unfair to her, the first half of her life was too lonely.
In the second half of her life, she couldn't do this anymore.
"Will I. Do people like me really deserve to be happy........"
She burst out laughing.
A very faint smile.
But it's all too true.
She looked into his eyes as if she saw her future self.
Inside, she looks very happy in the future.
"Why not deserve it. Anyone can be happy, and so can you. β
Taifu also looked straight into her eyes.
No more dodging, no more fear.
"Yang Yuandao,"
She suddenly called out to him.
"What's wrong?"
He came back to his senses and looked at her.
She came up, and a faint fragrance came up with her.
She left a kiss on his cheek.
He froze when her soft lips touched his cheek.
The brain doesn't turn anymore.
"You owe me, and now we have two clears. β
His arms were empty, and the little man had left his embrace.
She took the lantern and stood in front of him.
His face has regained his look.
She was restored to her original appearance.
Proud smile.
Those eyes that exuded determination.
She looked at him, and the smile on her lips widened.
"Thank you. β
............
In the palace, it was still white.
The palace people wearing filial piety clothes are full of white palaces.
The palace people on the road all lowered their heads and walked in a hurry.
After the state funeral, things in the palace became more and more.
Their workload is more than double that of the past.
The emperor turned a blind eye to these things and became a real shopkeeper.
Even the people of the Su family knelt outside the palace where the queen lived before, and he didn't care about it.
Cheng Guang was like a nobody, as in the past, sitting in Ping and watching the twists and turns.
The content of the twist and turn is nothing more than the ministers crying poverty with him.
Again, the treasury is not full, and they can't pay their taxes.
He had been reviewing the excerpts calling for lower taxes for several days.
Every time he wanted to call these poor courtiers, but he couldn't.
Because he knew very well that these ministers were all in a gang.
He doesn't have the ability to put them in one pot right now.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is here. β
Decai pushed open the door and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to announce?"
"Xuan. β
He put down the pen in his hand and pinched his nose.
It's really tiring.
There are so many things that are accumulating that he is really tired.
"Your Majesty. β
The Prime Minister's voice brought his consciousness back.
"Here, sit down. β
He casually pointed to a chair.
"I heard you're in the middle of it?"
"Thank you for the emperor's care, it's born. β
"Oh? Later, you and Decai will go to the inner house to choose some small jewelry, which will be considered as a reward for the child. β
"The minister thanked the emperor for the child and his wife. β
"Well, what's going on today?"
"The minister guessed that the emperor would be very bored today, so he came to solve your problems. β
"You have a heart, too...... Do you have any evidence of the courtiers who secretly formed gangs?"
"There are some, but not all. When I checked with Master Qianmo before, it was very fast, but he is not here recently, and the progress has been slow........"
"I need to keep an eye on what is going on over there, and I can't call him back for a while......."
"I understand. β
Cheng Guang picked up the pen again and crossed out a book.
"Oh, I haven't let them know the rules for many days, and this group of people just do things like this. β
"Your Majesty, your mind also understands. The ministers will speed up the process. β
"That's the best, I'm by my side, and I'm relieved to have you and Qianmo, two right-hand men........
"Your Majesty, what did Taifu say recently?"
"You're curious?"
