Chapter 6: Nightmare of Hope
Ever since I fed on Lifei's nightmares, I've been hallucinating on and off.
On the way back from the bamboo forest, I hallucinated again.
This seems to be all Concubine Li's memory.
Like this one I'm seeing now.
......
It was the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and the entire capital looked like a huge night pearl from the sky.
In a courtyard on the outskirts of the city, a group of children without parents are singing songs merrily.
Shen Qianxun took the thick winter clothes she collected and put them on for each child herself.
"Girl, look at you eating fat again." Shen Qianxun smiled with a mock of pretending accusations.
The bulging girl, who was called the girl, rolled her big dark eyes, inhaled the snot that was about to come out, and muttered, "The girl always feels that she can't eat enough, so she wants to eat whatever she sees." ”
Shen Qianxun smiled, she was putting on a cotton coat for the girl, and because her hands were red from the cold, it was very difficult to button them.
"Let me do it, silly girl."
Duan Xuan looked at Shen Qianxun lovingly, and his gaze seemed to melt the snow that had accumulated three layers.
"I'm not a stupid girl, I'm a girl." The little girl protested with her little face red from the cold wind.
Duan Xuan smiled, touched the top of the girl's hairy head, and said softly, "You are Sister Chihiro's girl, and Sister Chihiro is my girl." ”
With that, Duan Xuan turned his head to look at Chihiro, his gaze infinitely doting.
Shen Qianxun blushed, but also looked at Duan Xuan with a smile.
Wei Qi stood aside to help Shen Qianxun hold the bundles of clothes, his expression was not impatient, but with a heartfelt smile.
Seeing his master smiling happily, he was also very pleased.
Duan Xuan held Shen Qianxun's hand, rubbed it gently, looked at her cold red hand with distress, and then hugged her into his arms and hugged her tightly.
Shen Qianxun gently pressed his face against Duan Xuan's chest, listened to Duan Xuan's strong heartbeat, and smiled happily at the corners of his mouth.
"Chihiro, do you believe that I can make the world peaceful and the people happy?"
Shen Qianxun raised her head, her eyes like black gems looking at Duan Xuan.
"Of course I do."
Hearing Shen Qianxun's answer, Duan Xuan's eyes were full of waves.
He wanted to use his strength to protect his dearest people, but his mother was still killed.
He wants to use his own strength to make the world peaceful, but another wave of undercurrents in the court always slanders and restrains him.
Even those who flattered in the court, in the end, they still scratched his scarred heart with the sharp weapon of words behind his back.
He thought that he cared about the happiness and suffering of the people in the world, and thought that he was a good emperor who was clear, but it was not until he met Shen Qianxun that he knew that there was such a woman in the world.
When others are fighting for their own interests, she is willing to give a part of herself to care for those poor lives.
When everyone else jumped into the big dye vat of the world, she was able to leave the world independent and still smile innocently.
He fell in love with her, whether it was her honor or his luck.
She fell in love with him, whether it was his fate or her fate.
When watching the fireworks departing on Chinese New Year's Eve bloom over the entire national capital, he kissed her softly on the lips, and she responded to his kiss shyly.
The burst of light from the fireworks illuminated their faces and the smile curled at the corners of their mouths.
When the fireworks were over and everything was calm, he untied a piece of green dragon white jade that he had worn around his waist, placed it in the palm of her hand, and kissed her ear gently.
"Trust me, wait for me, marry me."
