Quick Travel: Three Thousand Worlds Are Just Playthings

"How can you live a good life if you marry someone you don't like? How can you let your mother feel relieved?"

Princess Rou'an stood up and hugged Li Yuan who was kneeling on the ground, crying bitterly.

After Princess Rou'an cried, she still gave up her plan to arrange a marriage for Li Yuan:

"Zhiheng, let's forget about your marriage to Miss Shu! Fortunately, we arranged for you two to meet at that time. In order to avoid criticism from others, I asked you to pretend to meet Miss Shu by chance and just chatted for a few words without attracting anyone's attention. I won’t offend Shu Mansion even if I think about it.”

"Okay, I'll listen to my mother, please worry about it." Li Yuan nodded in agreement.

Princess Rou'an wiped her tears and helped Li Yuan stand up: "Zhiheng, mother has never asked you for anything, but now mother begs you, please try to let go of Concubine Shu and let yourself go, okay?" ?”

"Okay, mother, I will." Li Yuan nodded while crying.

As far as Li Yuan is concerned, Shi Miao suddenly broke into his own world, and his love deepened without knowing where it started.

Now if I am too obsessed, I will inevitably drag my mother down and worry. But if I really want to let go of Shi Miao, it is like tearing out my heart. I really can't do it.

Li Yuan didn't know what else he could do to stop his mother's worries and make him feel better.

In the end, Li Yuan chose to escape. As soon as the Lantern Festival was over, Li Yuan rushed to the south of the Yangtze River on the grounds that he was busy with government affairs. Princess Rou'an had no choice but to agree.

Before leaving, Li Yuan went into the palace and met Tuoba Hong: "I am here to see your majesty. May your majesty be safe!"

"No courtesy! Are you still used to it in Jiangnan?"

Tuoba Hong asked Li Yuan with concern as if nothing happened.

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then raised his hands and saluted: "Wei Chen is doing well in Jiangnan. Your Majesty is thinking about me. I came here this time to bid farewell to Your Majesty. The New Year has passed, and it is time for Wei Chen to return to Jiangnan to take up his post."

"Your aunt wants to meet you. As for your return to Jiangnan, wait until you meet your aunt!"

Li Yuan looked up at Tuoba Hong in surprise: "Your Majesty, are you saying that Concubine Shu wants to see me?"

"Yes, after Miaomiao gives birth to a child, I will make her the queen."

After Tuoba Hong finished speaking, he turned around and told Fusheng: "Fusheng, take Mr. Li to see your master."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Master Li, please come this way." Fu Sheng extended his hand to signal.

Li Yuan looked at Tuoba Hong and saw Tuoba Hong nodding before bowing and leaving.

Fu Sheng took Li Yuan to the Imperial Garden, where he met Shi Miao before. Shi Miao was already waiting there.

Li Yuan suddenly stopped and looked at Shi Miao in a daze from a distance. It was Fu Sheng who woke Li Yuan up: "Master Li, please come this way."

When Li Yuan left, he bowed in front of Shi Miao and said, "I am here to see you, Concubine Shu. Wish you all the best!"

"Master Li, no courtesy! Please sit down."

"Thank you, Concubine Shu, for giving me a seat."

After Li Yuan sat down, Shi Miao pushed the cakes he prepared in front of Li Yuan:

"Master Li, give it a try and see if my skills have deteriorated?"

Li Yuan obediently picked up a piece of pastry, and after eating it, he replied with a smile: "The pastries are as delicious as ever, and your craftsmanship has become much better."

Shi Miao looked at Li Yuan for a while before speaking: "Zhiheng, I know your thoughts."

Li Yuan suddenly raised his head and looked at Shi Miao in shock: "Empress, you..."

"Zhiheng, as I said at the beginning, if I had not married Hong, then you would definitely be my ideal husband.

You are handsome, noble, and capable. Everything suits me, so I can't help but want to see you.

In fact, I can't tell whether I like your face or I really like you as a person.

Zhiheng, I'm sorry, I hope you can forgive me for my selfishness and willfulness. "

After Shi Miao finished speaking, he stood up and saluted Li Yuan.

Li Yuan realized what he was doing and hurried forward. He helped Shi Miao, who was already having difficulty moving, and helped Shi Miao sit down on the stone chair.

After watching Shi Miao sit down, Li Yuan returned to his seat. After a moment of silence, Li Yuan spoke:

"Miaomiao, I have never blamed you for anything. Everything I did was of my own free will. I am very happy that you can tell me this. I am lucky because you also liked me."

The corners of Li Yuan's mouth raised. Li Yuan was happy that Shi Miao only allowed Li Yuan to look at her.

"Zhiheng, I am very happy now, so I hope you can be happy too. As for us, if there is a next life, can you marry me again?"

"Okay." Li Yuan's eyes were moist, and he suppressed the sourness in his heart and agreed.

Shi Miao handed another piece of pastry to Li Yuan: "Zhiheng, this is my new flavor, you can try it."

"it is good."

After finishing the pastries, Li Yuan knew that it was really time for him and Miaomiao to say goodbye. Li Yuan stood up and said, "Aunt, uncle should still be waiting for me in the imperial study, so I will go back to the imperial study first."

"Okay, let's go!"

Shi Miao watched Li Yuan leave. Looking at Li Yuan's leaving figure, Shi Miao turned around and left in relief.

Where Shi Miao didn't see it, a tear dropped by Li Yuan fell with the wind and hit the stones nearby, leaving a trace.

Imperial study room

The conversation between Shi Miao and Li Yuan was relayed verbatim to Tuoba Hong by the secret guard. Although Tuobahong was still jealous, he also understood that this would be the best ending for the three of them.

"Zhiheng, the emperor is not young anymore. You are his only son. I hope you can stay in the capital and serve the emperor. What do you think?"

After Li Yuan came to the Imperial Study Room and saluted, Tuoba Hong spoke out his current thoughts and asked Li Yuan for his opinion.

"Wei Chen is willing to stay in the capital and serve his parents. I also ask your Majesty to transfer Wei Chen back to Kyoto."

"Okay, Li Yuan takes the order."

After Li Yuan knelt down, Fu Sheng picked up the imperial edict that had been prepared long ago and declared: "By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: Li Yuan, governor of the south of the Yangtze River, has both moral integrity and talent, wisdom and courage, and I am very pleased. I will discuss the award with the Ministry of Officials, especially I am honored to be granted the title of Prime Minister of the First Grade."

"I accept the decree and thank you for your kindness!"

After Li Yuan finished the ceremony, Tuoba Hong called out: "Without ceremony, I will arrange the affairs for you in the south of the Yangtze River. You don't need to go anymore. We will start going to court to discuss matters tomorrow."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Before Li Yuan returned home, Princess Rou'an received the news that Li Yuan was promoted to prime minister and stayed in Kyoto.

Princess Rou'an was a little uneasy and didn't understand what Tuoba Hong meant.

When Li Yuan returned home, Rou An hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Zhiheng, what's going on? Why did your uncle suddenly make you the prime minister?"

"Mother, Your Majesty asked me to see Concubine Shu today. We chatted for a long time, and I think I can let it go.

Later, Your Majesty only had your son by your side. You wanted your son to stay in Kyoto to serve you. You asked your son what he wanted, and your son agreed.

As for the matter of becoming the prime minister, his son only found out about it after receiving the order. "
