Quick Wear: Bai Yueguang perfectly interprets the success of saving the world
Chapter 7 Princess (6)
In the Imperial Study:
When Yan Qing arrived, Pei Shiyu was reading memorials.
The young man changed out of his heavy imperial robes and put on a blue casual dress, which looked less solemn than in the court and more childish.
At this moment, he was frowning as if he had encountered some difficulties. Compared with his usual pretense of maturity, he now had more of the youthful spirit that is unique to young people.
Pei Shiyu didn't look up until he heard Yan Qing's footsteps. When he saw it was her, his brows relaxed, with a hint of joy and a little grievance in his eyes.
"I waited for a long time but my aunt didn't come, so I had to ask Fulu to go and see her."
Yan Qing's expression remained unchanged, and he said gently, "I had a chat with the King of Zhenbei and was delayed on the way."
She naturally noticed Pei Shiyu's frowning expression, and asked, "Your Majesty, is there anything bothering you? Why not tell me about it?"
Pei Shiyu lowered his eyes, but he never asked what his aunt talked about with the King of Zhenbei.
He hesitated to speak, and just replied: "It's not a big deal..."
Yan Qing saw Pei Shiyu's hesitation, and she softened her expression: "There's no need for us to be so formal. If you have anything to say, just tell your aunt."
Yan Qing raised her hand and rubbed Pei Shiyu's head. She lowered her eyes and smiled, then changed her tone: "Or do you need to keep this matter secret from me? If so, I won't ask."
Almost at the moment Yan Qing finished speaking, Pei Shiyu immediately retorted: "I will never hide it from my aunt."
He lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then said with some embarrassment: "Uncle Wang has defeated the Xiongnu and should stay in the capital permanently. I am just a little worried."
When Pei Shiyu said this, his face was extremely conflicted, but when he looked up at Yan Qing, he seemed to have unconscious trust and dependence on her.
However, his hands were clenched tightly under his sleeves. What would his aunt do this time? Which side would she choose?
Even though Pei Shiyu didn't say it explicitly, Yan Qing instantly understood what he meant.
High merit covers the master.
At that time, Pei Zhuo became ill due to overwork and never recovered.
The court was in chaos. Although the Medical Saint tried to extend his life for a few days, it was of no avail. He unfortunately passed away after entrusting his son to Yan Qing.
At that time, not only were the princes in the capital watching covetously, but the already unstable tribes on the border all bared their ferocious fangs after hearing the news, all wanting to take this opportunity to tear a piece of flesh from Dazhao.
The tribes around Dazhao attacked Dazhao together as if they had made an appointment. War broke out everywhere and several cities were lost south of the border.
Only Jiang Huaixu, who had inherited the throne of King Zhenbei only a few years ago, was able to withstand all the pressure from the north and repel the invading tribes.
There is still enough energy to recapture the lost cities in the south one by one.
It was also at this time that Jiang Huaixu made great military achievements, and his name as the God of War resounded throughout Dazhao.
But later, when he went to recapture the city, the North had a chance to catch its breath. Although they did not invade on a large scale as before, they still came to harass him from time to time, which was extremely annoying.
It was not until this time that the border war was completely quelled.
Jiang Huaixu's reputation was already too great, and after this great victory, its reputation would surely rise to a higher level after the army returned to the capital. Therefore, it was understandable that Jun Shiyu had some concerns in his heart.
Yan Qing's smile faded. She pondered for a moment and said softly, "It may not be a bad thing for the King of Zhenbei to stay in the capital. When the war subsides, we should send generals to guard the borders."
Pei Shiyu's eyes lit up. His aunt wanted him to take this opportunity to split up the King of Zhenbei's army and then take back the military power bit by bit.
The fingertips loosened quietly, and the aunt still chose him.
Pei Shiyu looked a little hesitant and said, "Uncle Wang will not sit idly by. I am afraid that the generals I send over will die suddenly within half a day."
"General Yang is mature, prudent and resourceful. He has also been stationed at the border before, so we can send him there to give it a try. As for defending the capital, we can promote Deputy General Liang..."
Yan Qing has a clear voice, and every word he speaks has a magical power that can calm people down.
The few people mentioned above were part of the ceremonial guard that was able to quickly suppress the rebellion when Yan Qing massacred the capital, and they were also former subordinates of General An, Yan Qing's biological father.
Pei Shiyu thought for a while and said, "If it's General Yang, this method might be worth a try. Even if it can't be done, it should be possible to get away with it."
He sighed, and said casually, "If only my father were still alive, my aunt wouldn't have to worry about me like this."
Yan Qing's breathing stagnated, the expression in his eyes was unclear, and he was obviously absent-minded.
She whispered a few words to comfort Pei Shiyu and then took her leave from the palace.
Pei Shiyu stared at the direction where Yan Qing left for a while, then he stood up and took out a wooden box from the secret compartment of the bookshelf. When he opened it, there was half a tiger talisman inside.
Pei Shiyu held the tiger talisman in his palm, rubbing the patterns on it bit by bit, with a complicated expression on his face.
His aunt had always been very kind to him, carefully teaching him how to be a king and never coveting power.
Even the half tiger talisman given to her by her father was handed over to her after he ascended the throne, but he always felt it was not real.
It was not until later that he vaguely realized that his aunt's kindness to him was more based on helping him to shoulder the identity of an emperor.
Compared with other aunts, she seems to want him to become a qualified emperor.
To be more precise, it means becoming someone like your father.
Thinking of his aunt's strange expression when he mentioned his father just now, Pei Shiyu tightened his grip on the tiger talisman a little bit.
When he first found out that his aunt's kindness to him was mixed with other things, he felt aggrieved and unwilling, but after that emotion passed, he was strangely relieved.
But Pei Shiyu couldn't help but test it again and again, wanting to see how good this kindness could be.
Every time his aunt chose his side, he felt a strange sense of security that grew stronger, as if only this could satisfy his empty heart.
Before experiencing this series of events, his relationship with his aunt could only be described as weak. He only often heard her name from his mother's mouth, but the opportunities to meet her were rare.
It was not until his mother passed away that, in the sadness and panic of the sudden loss of his mother, he subconsciously grabbed the sleeve of the person who was always on his mother's lips.
Perhaps it was because his mother's expression was too gentle when she mentioned her that Pei Shiyu developed a natural trust and dependence on her.
To this day, Pei Shiyu can still clearly remember that man was stunned at the time, and a look of helplessness appeared on his usually cold face, but he still squatted down and held him in his arms, gently wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
I also haven't forgotten the gloomy look in my father's eyes at that moment.
He fell asleep after crying in his aunt's arms. When he woke up, he looked for her in confusion, but he only saw his father sitting beside him, and there was no trace of that person.
The father seemed to see that he was looking for his aunt, and said in an ambiguous tone: "You are very smart... Qingqing has been guarding you all night, I asked her to go back and rest first."
After saying this, the emperor restrained all his expressions, looked at him carefully, and there was a hint of coldness on his handsome face.
Pei Shiyu had already stiffened when his father said "You are very smart". Did his father know about this...
When his gaze came over from behind, it was as if he was locked by some dangerous beast and couldn't move.
After a long time, my father sighed and seemed to be talking to himself.
"No... that's all. Since Qingqing likes it, let her do it."
Hearing this, Pei Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief, but the first two words he heard made him feel confused.
Not like and not like what?
Before he could elaborate, his father returned to his usual gentle and kind self, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, and he gently comforted him who had just lost his mother.
As for everything that happened just now, it seemed like an illusion created by his panic and should not be taken seriously.
After that, his aunt came to visit him often, and his bond with her grew stronger and stronger.
It was not until his father passed away that he was truly raised by his aunt and became her closest person.
Thinking of this, Pei Shiyu relaxed his fingertips holding the tiger talisman.
It doesn't matter, as long as he is the most important person to my aunt, other cats and dogs don't matter...
