In the second year of Yuanping of Great Qi, King Qi defeated the Liang army, returned victoriously, welcomed the lord of Xishu County, celebrated the whole country, and granted amnesty to the world.

The sun was warm, Ye Ziyi was sitting in the conservatory of the palace courtyard, eating preserved fruits, while watching the group of people in front of her fiddling with red and black wedding dresses embroidered with gold threads, she was so bored that she almost fell asleep.

Ah Fu and Yongyi looked at their mother holding the preserved fruit and opened her eyes on the side, and as she couldn't stop nodding and dozing, Yongyi nodded unconsciously.

Ah Fu, who was sitting behind Ye Ziyi, saw that she was so confused that she was about to knock on a few cases, got up and stepped forward to remove a few teacups, he knelt down to Ye Ziyi's side, and his little hand went to help Ye Ziyi from time to time to shake his head that was about to hit on several sides, with a helpless face.

"Brother, you can't bow until you're faint, otherwise, let your mother go to the bedroom to sleep for a while. Yongyi felt sorry for her own mother, and stood up to support Ye Ziyi's chin.

After a while, Ye Ziyi's body sank, and she fell down towards Yongyi, Yongyi dodged, Ah Fu quickly got up and stepped forward, and the two brothers helped her to lie on the ground together.

Looking at Ye Ziyi, who was lying on the ground and asleep, Yongyi said worriedly. "Big brother, my mother is asleep, can't you let her sleep here? ”

"Alas, it's all my father's recklessness, my mother didn't sleep all night last night, it's strange that she can have spirit. Ah Fu said and commanded. "Come on, carry the county lord into the house to rest!"

As soon as Ah Fu's words fell, a voice of greeting sounded outside, and the two brothers turned their heads to look, but Gongzi Cheng, who was dressed in a bamboo blue brocade robe, walked in.

"Father, why are you here? The official said that you can't meet your mother today, it will be unlucky. Yongyi blinked his big wet eyes and looked at his father with a small mouth, looking like he was going to repcold him.

"It doesn't matter if I and your mother are not in the Heavenly Destiny. Gongzicheng said, stepped forward and gently picked up Ye Ziyi, and walked towards the bedroom inside.

"Father's move will attract criticism to my mother, the affairs in the palace, there are courtiers watching, no matter how much my father loves his mother, he should also take into account his mother's reputation. Ah Fu followed behind Gongzi Cheng, like a little adult with his hands behind his back, and Yongyi on the side did the same, and also walked behind Ah Fu with his hands behind him.

"The world knows that I love my wife, so I don't dare to talk nonsense, and the courtiers are the same, what's wrong?" Gongzi didn't reply, strode to the couch with steady steps, and gently put Ye Ziyi on the couch. "Have you tried it?"

"I've tried it, my mother thinks the jade belt is tight, let the craftsman change it, the crown has been checked, and there is nothing missing, just wait for the jade belt to be changed. Yongyi said, curious. "Did my father come to see my mother?"

"Why don't you see Ami, where did she go?" Gongzi Cheng avoided answering, covered Ye Ziyi with a quilt, and asked Yongyi very casually.

"Aunt Mei took someone to check on Fengkun Palace, and after a while, I thought I was going to come back. Yongyi glanced at the sky outside, and counted with his white fat fingers. "It's not time yet, there are still two hours left, my father has seen my mother, it's time to bathe and change clothes as a sacrifice, right?"

"There's no hurry. Gongzi Cheng said, took out a carved brocade with gold and jade from his arms, put it on the couch and said to Yongyi. "This one was left by your grandmother, and when your mother wakes up, she will put it on and bow in the temple of prayer, remember it, keep it safe, and never damage it in the slightest. ”

"Why didn't my father give it to my mother earlier? Ah Fu glanced at the brocade on the couch and said a little uneasily. "Mother has always been careless, and I'm afraid that it will be appropriate for Aunt Mei to follow for a while. ”

"This one was for the prince of Liangdu's mansion, and he just took it back. Gongzi Cheng was very patient, explained to Ah Fu, and said. "Ah Fu, you should prepare in advance for your entry into the temple, and after I get married to your mother, it is time to perform the sacrificial ceremony. ”

Ah Fu lowered his head and was silent for a while, looking at Gongzi Chengdao. "Father, I don't want to enter the temple. ”

"Why, eldest brother, don't you want to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors? My father and I have been preparing for the sacrifice for a long time, so we are waiting for you to come back, why don't you want to?" Hearing this, Yongyi was a little anxious, he pulled the placket of Gongzicheng's clothes, and said with a small mouth. "Father, please persuade the eldest brother!"

"It's up to you. Childe Cheng said to Ah Fu, and stroked Yongyi's hair. "Yongyi, your eldest brother has his own reason for your eldest brother, and you can't force it. ”

"But...... We are a family!" A layer of tears appeared in Yongyi's eyes, and he pouted his lips and looked like he was about to cry.

"You are connected to Ah Fu by blood, why are you not a family?" Gongzi Cheng patted Yongyi's back and said gently. "Even if you don't enter the temple, Ah Fu is also your eldest brother, and he will never change. ”

"But......" Yongyi wanted to ask again, but Gongzicheng interrupted.

"Eternal memory, everything should not be forced, Ah Fu has Nanshao to govern, you have the important responsibility of Qi State, you should have understood. Gongzicheng said, picked up Yongyi, who lowered his head and shed tears, and sat on the edge of the couch, very gently. "You want brothers and sisters, my father knows, when your mother is better, you will naturally have brothers and sisters with you, don't embarrass your eldest brother anymore. ”

Yongyi bit her red lip and nodded, leaning on Gongzicheng's neck and muttering. "When I have a younger brother, I will go to find the eldest brother, father, when the time comes, will you go with me? Let the younger brother be the king and govern the Great Qi, okay?"

Childe: "......"

"Yongyi, don't you want to be the king?" Ah Fu gave Yongyi the aggrieved look of the nod, and became enlightened to the son. "Father, it seems that you have to have a younger brother with your mother as soon as possible, Yongyi has no intention of taking the throne at all!"

"Isn't it the same for the eldest brother, I want to be like the eldest brother, free and easy, how interesting is that?" Yongyi said with his arms around Gongzicheng's neck and his big wet eyes. "Father, will you fulfill the child?"

Gongzi Cheng closed his eyes, his brows furrowed slightly, and it was only after a long time that he opened his eyes again and glanced at Yongyi lightly. "You have been a prince praised by the ministers since you were a child, and if you do not want to be the king, you can teach your brother to be better than you, and you can not inherit the throne. ”

"Really?" Yongyi's eyes lit up, as if there was a starlight flickering, and he plunged into Gongzicheng's arms, very happy and authentic. "Thank you, Father, Father is the best!"

Ah Fu looked at Yongyi, who was coquettish in Gongzicheng's arms, and said coolly. "Eternal memory, that is, my mother has given birth to a younger brother now, and he can read poetry and books at the age of three, and it will take ten years to become a weapon, you will already be an adult by then, and he is far better than you, how easy is it to talk about it?"

Eternal Memory: "......"

Stuck in Gongzi Cheng's arms for a while, Yongyi raised his head, looked up at Gongzi Cheng with an accusatory face, and was about to cry out with a pout.

Gongzicheng didn't look at him, hugged him with one hand, and held Ye Ziyi's soft little hand on the couch with the other. "Yongyi, in the future, Daqi will depend on you, study well, and be a virtuous emperor. ”

"Why did my father tell me this? I'm only four years old, so don't be a wise emperor!" Yongyi spoke, tears fell again, hugging Gongzi Cheng and smoking, Ah Fu on the side had pity in his eyes.

Gongzi Cheng patted Yongyi on the back and said in a deep voice. "Don't cry, you're a man, how can you always cry so easily?"

"Whether it's a boy or a daughter, the father still wants to design the child, and the child is not allowed to cry?" Yongyi became more and more aggrieved the more he spoke, and in his big black eyes, tears slipped down like pearls, pitiful and cute, even more pitiful than a girl.

"Your mother is still asleep, are you going to wake her up?" Gongzi Cheng looked down at the poor Yongyi, and straightened his face slightly.

"I—I didn't. Yongyi raised his head with a sob, turned his eyes to look at Ye Ziyi who was sleeping soundly on the couch, pouted his lips and tried to hold back his tears, he threw himself back into Gongzi Cheng's arms, and whispered sullenly. "My mother sleeps peacefully, and I will never cry again. ”

Feeling the small hand in his palm, Gongzi Cheng quietly glanced at Ye Ziyi, whose eyelids were rolling wildly on the couch, and forcibly pressed down the corners of his lips. "Since you know, don't cry, Ah Fu, take Yongyi out to relax, don't disturb your mother's rest. ”

"Yes. Ah Fu stepped forward to take Yongyi, who had climbed down to his knees, and the two brothers held hands and walked outside in a whisper.

Seeing the two children go out, Gongzicheng pinched Ye Ziyi's little hand. "How long do you want to pretend to sleep?"

Ye Ziyi, who was on the couch, opened half of her eyes, peeked into the room, and saw that Ah Fu and Yongyi were not there, she exhaled loudly, lifted the quilt and pounced on Gongzicheng.

"Alas, it's been so hard for me to endure it, and I'll remember that this kid is so sensible, I almost got up to comfort him. ”

"It's true that Yongyi feels sorry for you, and it's true that he wants to get rid of the shackles, he doesn't like to be regarded as a prince since he was sensible, and now he is close to Ah Fu, and he envy him for doing whatever he wants, so he will make such a fuss. Gongzi Cheng pulled Ye Ziyi to sit up, took the waist pendant placed on the couch, and solemnly placed it in the palm of her hand.

This waist is very gorgeous, the gold made of the pendant is inlaid with seven precious jade, the center is carved into the shape of a phoenix, and the bottom is played with a colorful network, although the colorful network under the head is newly made, but the gold rope worn on the head is worn out of color, no matter how you look at it, it is not very coordinated.

Looking at the somewhat old waist in the palm of his hand, Ye Ziyi picked it up, looked left and right, and was puzzled. "How did you send me this?"

"This is my mother's favorite ornament when she was alive, and when I first left the palace, I specially brought it to the girder and offered it in the secret room. Gongzicheng's slender fingers slid over the colorful tassels, and his eyebrows and eyes were extremely gentle and authentic. "With it every day, as if my mother was still there, I was able to survive that time. ”

"I see. Ye Ziyi clenched the waist pendant, looked at Gongzicheng with distressed eyes, and suddenly got up and hugged him. "Ah Cheng, don't worry, I will take good care of it, just as you cherished it in the past. ”

"With it, we got married, and my mother was a witness. Gongzicheng's long arms wrapped around Ye Ziyi's slender waist and said gently. "Ziyi, from now on, you can't abandon me anymore. ”

"Hmm. Ye Ziyi replied in a low voice, leaning against his slender neck. "Ah Cheng, I will accompany you in the future, every day, every hour, every moment, I will laugh with you when you laugh, I will make you laugh when you are sad, you are tired, tired, I am by your side, we will live our lives like this, every day happily, every day. ”

Gongzi Cheng closed his eyes, his long eyelashes fluttered, and he said dumbly for a while. "Good. ”
