Chapter 188: Like Water
"Of course, the young and vigorous boy can't swallow this breath, but the girl's fierceness is far beyond his imagination, plus the protection of his grandmother, the partiality of his mother, although the boy is angry, he feels that his self-esteem is hurt, and there is no other way except to swallow the resentment alone, so since then, the boy is not only far away from the girl, but his mother and grandmother, he also began to gradually distance himself!" Speaking of this, Li Shimin sighed and suddenly asked, "Mother-in-law, do you think this young man is very ignorant?" ”
Shi Qingyi, Xia Ling's mother-in-law, who was sitting opposite him, slowly raised her head, and then slowly shook her head: "It's like this when you're a teenager, but King Qin doesn't have to worry about it!" "Even a stranger must be able to hear that Li Shimin is telling his own story, not to mention Shi Qingyi himself, the 'wife' who has lived with him for nearly ten years. But after saying this, she also kept her mouth shut, because many times, there is not much to say. Li Shimin smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Yes, my mother-in-law is right, young people are always ignorant, and the result is that they have lost a lot of precious things when they still don't understand anything......" Li Shimin continued to narrate, and Shi Qingyi played a good listener, in fact, this is also the first time she heard the memories in his eyes from Li Shimin's mouth, as well as the emotions of those memories. Because with the passage of time, Li Shimin has already grown into a qualified military commander who is invisible, and if he was not seriously injured or in danger of his life at this time, he would not have told these things to another person.
After that, what Li Shimin said was the common experience of Li Shimin and Shi Qingyi, a marriage in name only, Li Shimin's passive and uncooperative, and another love affair of his. and the murderous opportunity brought about by this relationship, and then Shi Qingyi appeared and saved his life, Li Shimin had to admit that when the person he loved wanted to kill him but it was his 'wife' who appeared and desperately rescued him, his heart suffered a great shock. It was only then that he truly began to understand the good intentions of his mother and grandmother, and his senses for his wife changed.
However, because he couldn't let go of his son, Li Shimin was still estranged from his wife, and he did not bridge the relationship with his grandmother and mother, and later took the opportunity to leave with his father's appointment, avoiding them far away. Later, Li Shimin finally understood. At that time, what he hid was neither his wife, nor his mother and grandmother, but the hypocritical cowardice that he did not dare to face, but when he understood this, he had already been wrong, and a few years later, his mother died. Soon after, my grandmother also traveled westward with a crane. However, during that period of time, the Li family encountered several flying disasters, and finally got involved in a "big event" of life and death, and Li Shimin was almost about to take risks, unable to be distracted, and many things. So there is no way to make up for it......
The words finally ended, because of physical reasons, Li Shimin's voice was intermittent, but he still kept talking, because the more he spoke. As a result, the memories become clearer and clearer, just like an old wine that grows mellow and sweet over time. After a long time, Shi Qingyi's face showed a smile, and then, with a faint sigh: "It turns out that in the eyes of King Qin, Her Royal Highness the Princess is the continuation of Empress Dowager Dugu and Empress Dou, so dare to ask King Qin, what is your feelings for her now, love or family affection?" ”
"I don't know!" Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, however, he finally sighed and shook his head in denial: "Although I really want to tell myself that I love her, but I can't deceive myself, that's not love, because love is a passionate emotion that makes people desperate, but when I'm with her, it's not, although when I'm with her, my heart is very quiet and peaceful!" ”
"That's it!" Shi Qingyi answered, then lowered his head and thought about it, and raised his head for a long time, and then asked: "Princess Qin is the boiling 'silver-eyed witch' that was rumored not long ago." Because King Qin personally said that the young lady of the eldest grandson family died of illness, and the current princess of Qin has an unknown origin, and when she was young, she had extremely high martial arts and defeated His Royal Highness King Qin at that time? ”
"That's right, it's her!" Li Shimin did not deny it.
"So now, then I can finally tell the truth, King Qin's body toxins penetrate deep into the viscera, needle stones are difficult to expel from the needle, even if he can save his life, his body is wasted, and most of his life is estimated to be spent in bed!" Shi Qingyi said: "Also, Princess Qin should be more and less auspicious now!" After all, the prestige of the Queen of Yin is great, and even if the princess has high martial arts, she still can't compete with the Queen of Yin. ”
Li Shimin didn't speak immediately, and it wasn't until Shi Qingyi looked at him for a long time that he let out an inexplicable laugh: "Although you all say that she is fierce and unlucky, I have always thought that she will be fine!" Li Shimin said, in his words, he was convinced of his own reasoning: "She has always been a cautious character who plans to act later, and she will definitely leave a way out even if she is desperate, a person like her will never be in danger, even if she is in danger, she will definitely find a way out." Therefore, I never worry about her safety, because it makes no sense! Li Shimin said, however, his tone then revealed a little gloomy.
"I thought that King Qin would care about his own situation first!" Shi Qingyi asked deliberately. Li Shimin laughed self-deprecating when he heard this: "I am a soldier, I have seen a lot of life and death, what is the pity of my own life!" Then, he muttered to himself: "Actually, if something happens to her, I am willing to work hard for her!" It's a pity that she has always been so cautious and never gives people any chance, whether it is an enemy or a companion! ”
Shi Qingyi heard this, so she was silent, and after a while, she asked again: "Since Your Highness swears that the princess is fine, why hasn't the princess returned for so many days?" "Because she's always been free and as elusive as the wind, maybe when I wake up tomorrow, she'll be in front of me." As long as she wants! Li Shimin said: "Perhaps, she is dressed as an old woman and sits in front of me." Maybe! ”
His words were gentle, but Shi Qingyi's eyes suddenly exploded with a silver light when she heard this, fortunately, because she had been hanging her head, she was not afraid of being discovered by Li Shimin, and then she pretended to be calm and smiled: "King Qin is really good at laughing." "I'm not joking! She's the one who can do such a thing! Besides, Mother-in-law, you appeared just after she disappeared! Li Shimin said: "But this idea, I will only think about it." He said: "No matter what her choice is, I will not interfere, just like what I just said, she is the wind, no one can force her!" ”
Shi Qingyi stopped talking, things are abnormal, they are demons, but she didn't expect that Li Shimin's current situation would actually investigate her, perhaps, she ignored it, unconsciously, not only did she know Li Shimin, in fact, Li Shimin himself knew herself better than herself. Is this a family to each other?
"The story of King Qin is finished, why don't you let me tell a story for King Qin?" Shi Qingyi said suddenly, and then without waiting for Li Shimin's response, he continued to talk to himself:
"A poor mother loved her son very much, and sent him to a church school because she feared his untimely death, but the son was soon expelled for preaching heresy and embarked on a path of rebellion against theology, which frightened the mother because she had already died two sons, and this son named Soso was her last son, and she prayed to God all day for forgiveness of his sins.
The son grew more rebellious and strong as he grew older, and when he was 34 years old, he changed his name to "steel", and the mother became more and more afraid of this: because she wanted his son to be an elegant tree, not a cold and tough piece of steel. She didn't know what her son was doing, but gradually, many people came to her to ask about her son's past, and the mother was afraid of them, but her devotion to God made her always tell the truth, including her husband, the cause of her son's father's death - died in a street fight. The son was furious, the mother was very sad about her son's attitude, and the godly mother was even more frightened by the fact that she felt that God had abandoned her son because she had accidentally divulged his sin.
Later, when asked about her son's expulsion from school, the mother said that she left school because Suso had pneumonia. It was the only time in her life that she had lied to God. Soon after, she contracted pneumonia. Yet she was relieved that God had punished her and not brought disaster upon her son.
Two years later, she died of advanced lung cancer. At that time, the country was in the midst of a great purge, and her son was incompetent. ”
"Soso, he's a sensitive child." At the end of the story, Shi Qingyi's voice is particularly meaningful.
Li Shimin's whole body shook violently when he heard this, and then a pair of eyes looked at her deadly, but saw Shi Qingyi smile faintly, and then began to brush his face with his hands, and after a burst of powder-like things were sprinkled, he revealed a pale but familiar face to Li Shimin.
