Chapter 45: When I was ten years old
“Now Wei Jiu has married Ali, so naturally his heart is towards Ali. Wei Jiu saw the Queen’s love for Ali. Wei Jiu really liked Ali and was willing to marry him. Please rest assured to the Queen.”
His words were clear and loud, not only clearing his relationship with Prince Jing, but also expressing his admiration for Xue Li. Emperor Qingwen was very happy and clapping his hands and said, “Okay, the girl of the Wei family is indeed a refreshing and straightforward temperament. I like it very much.”
If she denied it directly, Emperor Qingwen might still be a little suspicious. After all, the things Wei Jiu did for Prince Jing almost knew the whole city. Now Wei Jiu admitted it calmly, which made him feel good.
But the queen’s expression changed a little after hearing this. Didn’t it mean that the ninth girl from the Wei family is a little girl who is brainless and only pursues Prince Jing to run away? Why can she say these words today? Moreover, her words and deeds are generous and unconcealed at all. There is no rumored vulgarity? “Queen, you are a little too worried.” Emperor Qingwen glanced at the queen calmly.
“Your Majesty, I…” The queen was panicked by the meaningful glance and hurriedly explained, “I just think Ali is a good child, and I am afraid that he will misjudgment.”
Emperor Qingwen snorted coldly and said, “I have a good vision when I see Ali. How old is he? Of course, I will make the decision on my own affairs. I don’t need to worry too much.”
“This… is, what the emperor said is, I remember.” The queen replied in a silence and lowered her head.
After a simple conversation for a while, until he watched Xue Li and Wei Yunxue leave the Yihe Palace, Emperor Qingwen turned around to look at the woman beside him. The smile on his face disappeared without a trace.
The queen was frightened by the cold expression he had never seen before, and she immediately knelt on the ground: “Emperor…”
Emperor Qingwen glanced at her condescendingly, with a cold voice: “Ali is my younger brother whom I have watched since I was a child. The queen’s hand stretched out too long.”
The queen panicked and did not dare to look at those cold eyes. She just knelt on the ground deeply, explaining in a trembling voice: “Emperor, I… I just care about Ali and want to share the worries for the emperor.”
“Okay.” Emperor Qingwen is also a royal family, how could he not see her little thoughts? He waved impatiently and scolded coldly: “I’m annoyed to hear your excuse. I don’t care what you want to do, but I just want to tell you one thing, and I’ll take less attention on Ali in the future.”
“Yes, the emperor calms down, I know I am wrong.” The queen lowered her head and admitted her mistake. Her hands hidden under her wide sleeves tightly clasped the blue-white color, and her nails were even deeply embedded in the flesh and blood.
After the queen retreated in fear, Emperor Qingwen stroked his forehead.He also remembered the deceased Old Prince Xue and Princess Xue. Xue Li’s father and mother both died to save him. Whenever he thought about this, he always felt ashamed of the young man who always looked cold and cold.
Emperor Qingwen pressed his forehead with a headache, and suddenly remembered something that happened when Xue Li was ten years old. There were bandits on the west mountain of Guangling City. At that time, he was also arrogant and secretly took Xue Li and the youngest’s pitiful troops to explore the way. However, he stabbed the hornet’s nest and surrounded them by thousands of bandits.
