It's the New Year, and it's a big festival for ordinary people, but the palace is a little deserted.

No way, three princes and nine officials, you have to give people a few days off and let them go home for the New Year. Besides, you can't keep people for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. In the palace, it was nothing more than the concubines and princes who took turns to greet the emperor and had a meal together.

In the past, Wei Qing often celebrated the New Year in Weiyang Palace, but this year he did not receive a will, so he could only spend this New Year with his old wife in the shogunate. It doesn't seem lonely.

In Weiyang Palace, the children were tired of playing, so they let the concubines take them back to rest. Emperor Wu grabbed Wei Zifu, who was about to retire, and said, "The queen will accompany me to drink two more lamps."

Wei Zifu asked people to take the prince back to the Jiaofang Palace, stayed and knelt beside Emperor Daowu, poured wine for him, and said, "Your Majesty is happy today." After the year, it will take ten days for the court to rest, and the concubine will be able to rest for a few days, and the concubine will hear from the Shaofu that Bowangyuan will be built very quickly, and it will not take long for the prince to move to the palace. His Majesty still took advantage of the fact that the prince had not yet moved to the palace, accompanied him more, and taught him. ”

Emperor Wu chewed the peanut kernels, took a sip of wine and said: "The queen is too worried, only a few miles to the left, you can often see it, I always said that the prince needs to grow, so let him fly by himself, children, you still need a little wildness, relaxation, not too tight." ”

The queen smiled: "Don't learn from his cousin when the time comes, you are used to it." ”

Emperor Wu's face turned dark, and he said: "This little bastard, when I catch him, I have to give him a good beating, if he doesn't open his skin and flesh, he doesn't know the pain, hum ......" He was speechless, and stopped his mouth. raised his head and looked at the queen, if others speculated like this, the emperor was afraid that he would suffer. But the queen is naturally different, and it is obviously impossible for Emperor Wu to lose his temper with the queen because of this matter, after all, it is someone's own nephew.

Wei Zifu's eyes did not dodge, he looked at Emperor Wu with a smile and said: "Your Majesty is angry, don't mention the unlucky stinky boy for the New Year." ”

Emperor Wu muttered in his heart, obviously you mentioned it badly, women are just unreasonable, forget it, drink.

Wei Zifu seemed to accuse Huo Qubing lightly, but it directly led to the emperor's true attitude towards Huo Quai. It is true that the emperor is very angry, and the consequences are very strict, although he is not angry, but after all, he is reluctant to give up this good embryo cultivated by himself. The heaviest punishment is nothing more than a beating.

In Emperor Wu's view, this is the same as raising a tiger, obedient and well-behaved, the wildness is light, if you want to maintain its wildness, you can bite people if you release it, or bite the Huns, then such a wild tiger is naturally a little disobedient.

In Emperor Wu's view, Huo Qubing will eventually become his killer weapon, the nuclear key, like the dog of hell, the beast of war, and the giant demon of the North Sea.

Emperor Wu looked forward to the day in the future, when he slowly untied the shackles on Huo Quai's neck, the world would fall for it, and the end of the Huns, who had plagued China for hundreds of years, would come in an instant. The heavens will fall apart, the rivers will pour out, and the murderous robbers will cry out in despair, waiting for the frenzy of thousands of horses to drown them.

Before that day came, Emperor Wu had infinite patience to tolerate Huo Quai, care for him, love him, and carefully wait for Huo Quzhi's fangs and claws to grow slowly, and finally shine with a cold light.

Although Wei Zifu did not read his expectations for Huo Quai's illness in Emperor Wu's eyes. After all, everyone says that the emperor is the first emperor of the ages, but in their hearts they just think that there is no substantial difference between this emperor and the previous emperors, everyone knows that Emperor Wu is a promising monarch and loves to toss, but I'm afraid no one knows where Emperor Wu's real purpose is, and the price he is willing to pay for this purpose.

Maybe only Xue Qing understands.

Wei Zifu only saw Emperor Wu's tolerance and love for Huo Quai, and a trace of embarrassment in wiping his buttocks. But that's enough for an aunt.

Emperor Wu put down the wine cup, looked at the candle flames dancing on the side of the case, and asked faintly: "That kid really likes Xue Qing so much, doesn't she marry her?" ”

Wei Zifu was stunned for a moment and said: "Well, he has two childhood sweethearts, two little guesses, this kid is stubborn when he gets sick, and the right thing is a tendon. ”

Emperor Wu remembered Xue Qing's immature smiling face. I couldn't help but tighten my heart and asked, "What does Ah Xue think, is she willing?" ”

Wei Zifu said with a smile: "The concubine is full of willingness. ”

Emperor Wu sighed and said: "Rest early, tomorrow will be renewed, Vientiane will be renewed, and you will go to Taimiao, Shemiao and Jimiao to worship." ”

Wei Zifu stretched out his hand to help Emperor Wu up. Emperor Wu burped and said, "Don't go, the queen, stay with me." ”

Wei Zifu smiled gently: "Okay." ”

………… The dividing line of all evils............

In the shogunate, the children were sent to sleep, and the old couple hugged each other on the couch, if it was an ordinary family, the twilight of the twenty-year dynasty was already bored, but the two of them gathered less and separated more and sneaky, as the so-called wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, stealing is not as good as stealing. The preservation of this feeling naturally grows a little.

The princess said faintly: "I don't know where Ah Xue is, this is the New Year, and it is not easy for the whole family to reunite, and in a blink of an eye, the world is different." ”

Wei Qing comforted her and said: "Don't worry, I received a letter from Zhang Quandan a few days ago, saying that I was heading towards Jiaodongguo, and I guess that Ah Xue has never seen the sea, so it's good to go and see it for a long time." ”

The princess imagined the sea: "Yes, Qing, you have seen the sea, I remember you mentioned it to me, where is that?" ”

Wei Qing said: "That's in Penglai, not far from Jiaodong, but I don't remember the scenery of the sea, no way, I only care about the emperor's safety, you know your brother, that day on the sea was full of interest, actually ordered the helmsman to turn the way to the direction of the sunrise, want to find the foreign immortals, so to say that it is hard to pull it back, I am about to die, how can I be in the mood to watch the magnificent waves." I only vaguely remember the immensity. Drifting from the stream. There is a taste, but I didn't have time to appreciate it. ”

The princess made up the beautiful picture in her mind: "Why don't we go to Jiaodong to find a good girl, and go to see the vast ocean by the way." It's not as big as you say. If you deceive me, I will not spare you. If we are a family of three, take a big boat, ride the wind and waves, and go to a small island with trees, birds, animals, rivers, and rocky mountains, as mentioned in the book, let's stand on the beach of the island and watch the stormy waves. ”

Wei Qing was fascinated for a while. That feels so good, don't want it.
