As long as Cai Yushi and Xiang Shangshu don't make this matter unbearable, after all, they are officials in the same dynasty, and if they get into trouble, they will be embarrassed to meet in the future.

Zixi didn't take it to heart anymore.

The days passed, and it was the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye.

Zixi, who took a break from the government, looked at the festival inexplicably, and I didn't know if I was afraid of wasting a rare festival, so I looked forward to the excitement of the Lantern Festival early.

At night, the lanterns are hanging high again on the street outside the palace, and the sea of people is a mountain of lights, which is a brilliant beauty.

Zixi, who was wearing a big hat, accompanied by Chu Chen, climbed the Xuanyangmen Palace Tower.

When an ordinary woman is more than three months pregnant, her abdomen is actually a little flat, but it may be because of the twins, Zixi's three-and-a-half-month-old belly is obviously bulging, but it is obviously still smaller than the belly that should be five months old.

Fortunately, he was dressed thickly in winter, coupled with the cover of the loose coat, Zixi didn't bother to camouflage with cotton cloth anymore, and besides, it was at night, so he didn't worry that someone would see that something was wrong.

Hide and hide, when to live and when to give birth, the child will never come out in advance.

Standing on the top of the castle tower and looking out, the blurry lights are reflected in the bottom of the eyes, and the beautiful eyes like black jewels are particularly bright.

In such a festival, standing on the tower and looking at the prosperity of the imperial city, you can't help but have an illusion - this world of Kyushu, the vast land, may be prosperous.

But only Zixi knows that the current Ling Kingdom is not as prosperous as it seems.

Sanling has just restored its territory, and the real governance has not yet begun, and the hearts of the people in Sanling's territory have not completely returned to the imperial court, and perhaps there are still many people secretly who are ready to move, waiting for an opportunity to make trouble in the name of restoring the country.

Hidden danger beneath the bustle.

"When the child is born, I plan to make a private visit." Looking at the bright lights and mountains outside the palace, Zixi said lightly, "Go to the territory of the Ling Kingdom, see the customs and people, and listen to the demands of the people, it should be more conducive to governing the world than sitting in the deep palace." ”

Chu Chen wrapped his arms around her shoulders, a little moved by her words, and his voice was arrogant: "Well, for my husband, accompany you and let the regent guard the deep palace." ”

Nan Mohao, who was standing not far away to protect the emperor, heard this, and maintained his usual silence on his cold face, and did not react in any special.

Chu Chen's careful thinking has always been clear to him, but he has never cared.

And for the two of them now, as long as Zixi can live, it is more important than anything else.

It's just that Zixi didn't expect at this time that such a good wish was destined to be unfulfilled, but after many years, it was vividly used in her daughter - the four words of private service to govern the country will be her daughter's most brilliant achievement.

On top of the merits, the prosperous reputation of the peach blossom has also added a strong ink color to the history books.

However, the world doesn't know that the little empress seems to be affectionate but is actually ruthless, she governs the country but does not pay attention to the country, how many people are around her, but no one has ever really entered her heart.

Until—

The vicissitudes of life, the prosperity of the world has passed by in a hurry.

There are also people who practice hard for the word love.

"The lanterns are so beautiful." Zixi looked at the light street outside the palace, and sighed in his tone, "I hope that one day, there will be no more wars in the world, and the people can truly live a prosperous and stable life, and everywhere will be as prosperous as this light scene." ”

Chu Chen said softly: "There will be a day." ”
