The return of the late emperor

The two of them wandered around, feeling that everything was very fresh. For a while, they stared at the peddler selling purses at the stall, and for a while they picked and picked at the surrounding small stalls.

Ming Ke himself doesn't like sweets very much, but he didn't know if Xiao Jiu would like it. He didn't loose any money, so he simply picked a bank note with the smallest amount and bought all the candied haws, and then just He kept two strings and stuffed them into Xiao Jiu's hands, and distributed the rest to the passing children.

The news spread among the children the fastest. After a while, all the children around this street received the news that there were two big brothers handing out candied haws next to each other, and they flocked here.

A group of little radish heads surrounded the two of them. Xiao Jiu was a little embarrassed, but Min Ke laughed happily. He really liked children. It was sent clean, and only a bundle of straw targets for sticking candied haws was left in his hand.

Min Ke looked at the child who was staring at him eagerly and spread his hands, squinted and smiled: "It's gone now, if there is a chance, brother will prepare more next time and wait here for you."

The children were a little disappointed, and turned to look at Xiao Jiu, well, this brother still has two strings in his hand.

Xiao Jiu has never been stared at by a group of children with that kind of pitiful eyes with strong longing. He only feels that the two bunches of candied haws in his hand are very hot, and he is about to reach out to them. , stopped him forcefully and could not be refused, he raised his head a little puzzled, and was looking at the previous one who expressed disapproval.

Xiao Jiu was puzzled, but Min Ke didn't explain. He just half-squatted down and was about the same height as those little radish heads, looked at them seriously and said, "The two bunches of candied haws are specially bought by my brother for that brother. Well-behaved children don't steal others' favors, so tell me, are you being good?"

"Good--" everyone replied in a childish tone, except for a six- or seven-year-old child who questioned: "But what Mr. said is that a gentleman does not take what others like, not a good boy."

"Then your husband is certainly a gentleman now, and he was definitely not good when he was a child. You don't want to learn from him." Ming Ke made nonsense.

"Brother, are you a gentleman? Have you ever taken what others like?" the child continued to ask.

Min Ke shook his head, and said slowly: "Brother is not, brother has made such a mistake before, I hope you will not do this in the future."

What kind of past this Qu University has, Xiao Jiu doesn't care much about her own past, but now she has a curiosity to explore Qu University.

"Oh, goodbye, brother." The child seemed to understand the answer, but still left obediently, and the rest of the little carrots also gradually scattered into the crowd.

Min Ke stood up, in a good mood: "Let's go, it's getting late, it's time to visit old friends."

This time, Xiao Jiu didn't just follow Min Ke and walked silently. He walked a few steps quickly, kept level with Min Ke, didn't turn his head, and asked as not as deliberately as possible: "Do you like children very much?"

Min Ke tilted his head and replied: "Yes, children are very cute, not to mention..."

"What's more?" Xiao Jiu's heart skipped a beat, with a bad premonition.

Sure enough, the next moment, Min Ke threw a bomb at Xiao Jiu in that gentle tone that could drown someone: "Besides, I also have a child, although he is just at the age of babbling, but after a few years, he can Thinking about it, they should be as lovable as those kids just now."

It's just that in the emperor's house, he can't enjoy the ordinary family happiness. No one will love him sincerely. Even his father will only get closer to power. He can only grow slowly from blood and tears by himself, and then step by step. To become a lonely family and a widow, repeating the fate of generations of emperors, Ming Ke swallowed the following words.

This is undoubtedly a shock that exploded in Xiao Jiu's heart. It turned out that Qu Dazao had a family, and even had children.

He only felt a slight astringency in his heart, but he didn't know what it meant, so he could only laugh at himself at the moment, what does Qu Datong have to do with you? You are not alone, there are people waiting for you at home.

Although Xiaojiu comforted herself in this way, she still cared a little, so she pretended to be normal and asked: "Why didn't I hear you mention it? Then when will you return home? I have a two-year contract with you, and it will be impossible by then." Let's go with you too, when that day comes, the two-year agreement will be void, and it's not because I broke my promise."

Minke only thought it was funny, so he joked half-truthfully: "I have a poor background. I grew up in a poor family. Having an extra mouth to eat is a burden. Fortunately, I have a good face and a pleasant temper. I became the son-in-law of a wealthy family. It's a pity that my husband looked down on me, and after a few years of getting along with him, I became resentful. When my father-in-law passed away, he took over the power of the family and kicked me out. He raised him, but my son and I are afraid that the relationship between father and son in this life is over, and we will never see each other again. Once two years come, I will naturally let you go, don't be so reluctant, I am really lonely, just want to find Personally stay with me first, and after a long time I get used to it, and I won’t be sentimental all the time.”

It turned out that this person had such a hurtful past behind his always smiling face, Xiao Jiu felt that he had inadvertently opened the deep wound in Qu Da's heart, but he couldn't stare at Qu Da with pity, How embarrassing it was for him, but he was not good at words, so he just hummed as a reply to Qu Da's preface, and strode forward.

Therefore, he didn't see Min Ke smiling behind him with crooked eyebrows and trembling shoulders, which didn't look half sad.

"Hey, don't go too fast, I can't keep up, hey, turn east..." Minke yelled from behind, causing passers-by to look this way frequently.

Years have passed, and the spring and autumn have passed several times. Who will remember the short time we were together.

In the Zhaoping Hall, sandalwood incense is curling up, and a handsome man is lying quietly on Xiang Jun's couch.

Ren Ming has been too tired recently, and there is no time to rest well. Although he is not a regent in name, the world only knows that he hides in Zhaoping Hall all day long, eats vegetarian food and prays for the late emperor, and even praises his sincerity and nature. He knew in his heart what he was running around these days.

The man finally came to his dream, he thought that the man would hate him so much that he would tear him apart in the dream, cut him into pieces, and even thought about a thousand ways that the man would torture him He never thought that the man treated him with gentleness as before, and most of the memories in his dreams were the ordinary moments of getting along with him, such as playing chess, drinking tea, watering the flowers, and writing in peace.

But it's true, that person loves pretending to be an ordinary couple with him the most, but he doesn't even think about it, how can there be so much warmth in the emperor's family.

Ren Ming also knew that he might be a little hysterical. His resentment didn't dissipate because of the passing of that person, but intensified. He didn't want to see everything about that person, and he didn't want to hear anyone mention it. That person, he didn't even want to look in the mirror at first, didn't want to see himself.As long as he touches every bit of that person, Ren Ming will dream of him.But he still didn't regret it, there was nothing to regret, he told himself repeatedly all the time.

Changqing approached Ren Ming lightly, saw that his master was sleeping peacefully at this moment, he let out a long breath, turned his head and covered Ren Ming with cloud silk as light as fluttering catkins, which was specially found by the late emperor from all over the world. One of the thousands of daily things given to the master, it couldn't be more comfortable, and Fu quietly exited the bedroom.

No one saw a tear flowing from the corner of Ren Ming's eye, winding into the blue silk of the waterfall.

When they arrived at the place Min Ke mentioned, it was already sunset, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected the half of the house red.

The house is very ordinary, and there are no majestic rare birds and animals in front of the gate. Red bricks and tiles, bluestone walls, and copper gate pull rings have traces of mottled rust. The roadside is either overgrown with weeds or covered with moss. You can tell that no one has lived in it for a long time.

Thinking about it, since that person left, Min Ke came here again, he neither came, nor did anyone come.

Following Qu Da all the way, I have seen many of his strange behaviors, so I am no longer surprised by them.Xiao Jiu curled her lips, and didn't bother to ask Ming Ke to go to this deserted place to visit Lao Shizi's old friend, so she followed Ming Ke into the gate.

No wonder they were able to get in so easily, the gate was not locked at all, it was just concealed, so many years passed, and the owner of the house was no longer there, and the door just passed on the will of the owner silently. Waiting for someone.

It's a pity that that person never came, Ming Ke smiled wryly, but Uncle Qu, your A Ke came to see you.

The courtyard is still overgrown with weeds, Minke intends to tidy it up, but he has to wait until the coming day to see the weather.He took Xiao Jiu who was familiar with the way to find the guest room, opened the cabinet door and took out the bedding. Although it had been stored for many years, he had to use it today.

Let Xiao Jiu wait in the room first, go to the kitchen to get some hot water out, turn around and leave the guest room door, but Ming Ke went straight to another place.

It was a Zen room, the place was not big, but it looked empty because there were no decorations. People who entered through it were only attracted by a painting. The man in the painting was wearing a plain green dress, like a waterfall of blue hair. It was loosely tied with a white ribbon, no matter how clean and simple the attire was, it made the man's eyebrows and eyes gorgeous, and his color was like spring flowers. He held a white bamboo fan in one hand, and caressed the hair on the fan with the other. Zhui Zi, with his brows and eyes crooked with a smile.

If Xiao Jiu opened the box Ming Ke gave him before and saw this painting, he would know that the pendant on the painting is in his hand at this moment.

Regarding the origin of this pendant, Min Ke didn't want to mention it again. He stared at the painting for a long time, until tears welled up in his eyelashes, then solemnly knelt down, and resoundingly kowtowed three times with the same gift as he did to Father: "Uncle Qu, Ake came to see you."

Under the painting, there is a memorial tablet, which has been covered with dust for a long time, but the three characters engraved on it can still be distinguished: Anonymous.

He was abandoned by the family for love, and finally abandoned by love. The world doesn't know him. If someone comes here by chance, sees the portrait, and knows him, he is just an anonymous person.
