Li Zhang

After Sima Yi left the imperial study room, he went directly to the martial arts arena where the imperial guards took off. He took off his outer robe and tied up his hem before fighting with the imperial guards who were resting in rotation.After messing around at the beginning of the year, he discovered the benefits of this place, and would come here from time to time to have a few tricks with the guards to relieve his tense nerves.After getting used to it, the guards were no longer overly panicked. To be honest, Sima Yi's kung fu was not inferior to that of ordinary guards.

After throwing down two guards in a row, Mu Yan came from outside, saluted Sima Yi, and asked to take Mu Qingshi home.Only then did Sima Yi remember that today is a young year, and his gaze at Mu Yan suddenly softened.

"Gu actually forgot. The Empress and Concubine Min like Qing Shi very much, so it is inevitable that they stayed for a while. Gu also hasn't seen Jun'er for a few days, so let's go with you by the way."

Sima Yi and Mu Yan walked while talking, and soon entered the Mingde Hall. After the queen led the crowd to pick him up, Sima Yi picked up the little prince by himself, asked him about his daily routine, and then played catch and catch with him. The game made the little prince giggle.

During the days when he just accepted Li Zhang's death, Sima Yi's mood dropped to freezing point. If the queen hadn't brought the little prince to accompany him every day, it's hard to say what he would do if he drove Jin Bai away and angered Mu Yan. Something out of the ordinary.And Sima Yi also began to accept this child who was connected with his blood from then on. When he was not devoted to government affairs, he went to the martial arts field to fight with the imperial guards, and went to Mingde Hall to play with the little prince for a while. Qin Fang, who is a new favorite, is actually just a personal attendant.

Now, looking at the father and son having a good time, Mu Yan and the queen are full of satisfaction and smiles, only Mu Qingshi carefully stands aside, staring at the little prince who is constantly being tossed up.

Sima Yi quickly discovered the difference in Mu Qingshi, and deliberately threw the little prince a little higher, and he heard a low exclamation amidst the little prince's giggles.

Sima Yi put the little prince down with a smile, watched him swaying towards Mu Qingshi, and said to Mu Yan with a smile: "Qingshi looks like a big brother, Jun'er likes him so much!"

The queen agreed with a smile when she heard the words: "Jun'er is always more obedient when Qing Shi is around, and the nanny likes Qing Shi to come more often!"

Mu Yan pampered Mu Qingshi's head, but couldn't stop feeling sad when he looked at his son: "When Qingshi was young, he liked to cling to his elder brother the most..."

The queen carefully glanced at Sima Yi, and saw that he could no longer hold back his smile, and quickly asked someone to bring out a set of new clothes and some delicate ornaments that had been prepared long ago, and a pair of exquisite food boxes outside, I apologized to Mu Yan Wenwan: "I should have let Qing Shi go back earlier, but Jun'er refused to let go. It was too late, so please forgive me. The clothes are specially made by the palace, and Qing Shi's love is in the food box." The palace-made dim sum you eat should be regarded as an apology for procrastination, Lord Mu, please don’t laugh at me.”

Mu Yan hurriedly bowed to thank him, and made Mu Qingshi kowtow again, before he took them one by one.Sima Yi looked at Mu Yan with deep eyes, hesitating in his heart, but he didn't say much, and let the father and son retreat.

After Mu Yan left, Sima Yi did not follow him as usual, but turned around and walked back into the hall.Although the queen was astonished, she was delighted in the end and sat beside him, saw that his face was stained with sweat and dust, guessed that he had been to the martial arts arena again, so she asked Sima Yi to wash and change clothes.

Sima Yi hadn't stayed in Mingde Hall for a long time, and he felt comfortable being served at this time, and his heart was a little soft. Looking at the queen, thinking about how he had neglected her all these years, he suddenly remembered what Li Zhang said in the imperial prison, and he felt a little soft in his heart. Feeling a little guilty, I couldn't help reaching out to hold the Queen's hand, and thanked each other warmly: "Zi Tong took care of you."

The queen has kept herself for many years, and the joy of the wedding has not faded away. She has watched Sima Yi carry the beauties into the palace one by one, and she is not completely jealous of those charming or exquisite men and women, but the family education is strict. , has already developed a temperament that does not show emotions, and secondly, Sima Yi always respects her status when he is messing around, so that she does not dare to be too willful.Carrying it year after year like this has already become a habit, and I have long since lost the nostalgic mood for Sima Yi, just guarding my identity, guarding my son, and being a queen.

But she is a woman after all, unable to resist Sima Yi's sudden tenderness, feeling uneasy in her heart, she couldn't help but blushed slightly: "What did the emperor say, these are the duties of a concubine."

Sima Yi's heart became softer, and he held the Queen's hand and refused to let go: "Gu I just feel that I owe you, speaking of it, it's because of him..."

The queen's heart sank, she looked carefully at Sima Yi's face, saw clearly that there was no madness and silence like before, she calmed herself down slightly.She didn't answer, but bent down carefully to help Sima Yi straighten the robe under his belt.

Sima Yi took the queen's hand again, his voice was a little erratic, with feelings that he couldn't explain, he gently kneaded the plain hand in his palm, and continued slowly: "Gu actually, I have already recognized that this is a delusion. But In Gu's heart, he can't let go no matter what. Jin Bai said that he likes not to tie people by his side, but Gu doesn't know, what else can he do?"

The queen listened to Sima Yi's weak and confused words in a daze, her heart was full of dark tides, and many emotions from when she was alone in the vacant room came back with his questioning.After all these years, she watched him spoil this one and love that one, thinking that she was the only one who didn't understand, but in the end, he was the same as herself!

She suddenly wanted to laugh, to laugh at her obsession and resentment back then.She really wanted to tell him that if she could, she would tie him tightly to her side!It was only because I couldn't, that I gradually became indifferent as I am today. I convinced myself to guard my identity and protect the emperor. It is a blessing to get through it safely, and I no longer have any thoughts in my heart.

So she sighed softly, held Sima Yi's hand behind her back, and persuaded gently: "The emperor is tired, that's why this is so. This concubine asked Mi'er to squeeze your muscles..."

"No! Don't. I'm lonely, I just want to talk to someone..."

The queen sighed again, looked at Sima Yi with some helplessness, and said in a low voice: "The emperor is the emperor, and the world should regard the emperor as the most important thing. Who can forgive him? That person... is no longer here. Why is the emperor so obsessed with it? I am tired and my heart has lost my passion, but it is because of a ignorant person, and my concubine is worthless for the emperor."

Sima Yi looked at the queen steadily, with more confusion in his eyes.

"Has Zitong ever liked Gu?"

The queen was stunned. Seeing Sima Yi's serious expression, her heart that had been practicing the law for many years was suddenly agitated. She unconsciously smiled slightly and said, "The concubine is the wife of the emperor's matchmaker. So what can I do if I like it or not?"

Sima Yi's heart trembled, and his eyes were clear when he looked at the queen.

It turns out that whether you like it or not, running away or not being able to run away, when you really want to let go, you will feel the same helplessness and bitterness.

He suddenly regretted being cruel to Feng Yu, but Feng Yu really never came back.

After that day, Sima Yi would stay overnight in Mingde Hall from time to time, and the little prince became closer to him, and he always had to hug him to bed before he would sleep peacefully.Mu Yan and Jin Bai were very satisfied with this, and even the Empress Dowager, who had been unwilling to give Sima Yi a good face for a long time, softened her attitude.The front and rear palaces spent the New Year peacefully.

Long Yuan returned to the sheath, still hanging on the wall, looking up from time to time, only a touch of warmth remained in his heart, no more pain and regret, no more restless nights, knowing that Li Zhang is still the same as when he was in Dali Temple, the long night It is no longer long.

Li Zhang and Zhiqing also had a good year.

After returning from Rongjiazhuang, Zhiqing insisted on staying up all night, made a new robe for Li Zhang, and made herself a skirt of floral cloth.At dusk Li Zhang got up and saw that she was still busy under the lamp, so he blew out the lamp, stuffed her into the quilt, drew the curtain and went out.

Zhiqing slept until noon before waking up. Li Zhang had already made lunch and was sitting by the door tending to the bows and arrows he brought back from Rong's Village yesterday. When he saw Zhiqing coming out, he asked her with a smile, "Are you hungry?"

Zhiqing blushed with embarrassment, tidied herself up neatly, opened the table and had lunch with Li Zhang.

"My brother didn't call me earlier."

Zhiqing took a mouthful of steamed buns sullenly, put the stewed meat into Li Zhang's bowl with chopsticks, and ate the vegetables by herself.

Li Zhang replied with a smile: "All the things that should be prepared are ready. Aunt Zhao said that she will bring us dumplings later. Half a day is enough for my sister to be a cook, so I should sleep more."

Zhiqing immediately laughed, finished eating in a hurry, ran into the room and shook off the new clothes for Li Zhang to try on, and she also took the unfinished Ruqun to compare with each other.

While tidying up, Li Zhang looked at Zhiqing and laughed quietly, then remembered the matter of entering the mountain after the next year, and discussed with Zhiqing: "Mr. Live here, I will pick you up when I find a place, okay?"

"When is brother going to leave?"

"I think earlier..."

"But it's so cold in the mountains!"

Li Zhang smiled embarrassedly and said, "Senior Liu's library cave, I can't sit still just thinking about it!"

Zhiqing was full of disapproval, knowing Li Zhang's stubborn temper, and she was not sure that she could persuade her, so her cheeks puffed up sullenly.

Li Zhang hugged her with a smile, and said softly in her ear: "Senior Liu is amazingly talented, and I have admired him for a long time. Now that I know there is such a good place, my sister should understand my feelings. I don't Dare to say that I can learn everything, just pick one or two things that can be learned, forget about my wish. When the filial piety period expires next year, we will get married. At that time, we will find a town to open a medical hut, so that my sister can practice medicine with peace of mind, okay? "

Hearing the marriage, Zhiqing blushed, buried her head in Li Zhang's chest, and let out a low "hmm".

Li Zhang rubbed her hair with a smile, and sat back by the door to continue his previous work.Zhiqing went to the stove and put the meat to be stewed into the pot, then simmered a pot of herbal chicken soup on the charcoal stove, then looked at the clean fresh fish on the pot table, washed the picked dried mushrooms, cabbage and dried beans, After looking around for a while, he walked up to Li Zhang in discouragement, and squatted down to watch him play with the bow and arrow.

Li Zhang glanced at her with a smile: "Is it over so soon?"

Zhiqing pouted: "My brother stole Zhiqing's job again!"

Li Zhang turned sideways, raised his bow and drew the string, and said disapprovingly while testing the strength of the bow: "There is no such clear distinction between the lives of two people."

Zhiqing didn't say any more, she rested her chin on her hands and watched Li Zhang make gestures, and she wanted to try it when she was interested.Li Zhang handed it to her with a smile.Zhiqing stood still, and after holding her breath, she drew the bow halfway.

Li Zhang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "My sister has great strength!"

Zhiqing stuck out her tongue mischievously: "Brother is too weak! You must finish this pot of chicken soup tonight!"

Li Zhang suddenly turned bitter, Zhiqing giggled, ran back to the kitchen to watch the fire, and asked loudly: "Brother never uses bows and arrows, why do you want this?"

"They did it so well, I couldn't resist trying it."

"The style of this bow is different from that used by uncle and the others."

"Hmm. It's really surprising that this kind of half-stone bow can be easily pulled away by teenagers in Rong's family village."

Zhiqing poked her head out and asked, "What's the use of bows and arrows if you're not close to the mountains or forests over there?"

Li Zhang didn't answer. Thinking of what he saw in Rong's mansion, he was a little curious about the identity of the Rong family, but he still felt that there was no reason to use the Darkguard.com to investigate again.What's more, he didn't want to be found again because of this, so he simply put it aside.

In the evening, Li Zhang and Zhiqing paid homage to their mother and parents, and ate New Year's dinner around the brazier.When the two of them didn't have much fun in the past, this meal was very reassuring.

At the time of handover, Aunt Zhao delivered the dumplings herself, smiling and asking the two brothers to eat them while they were hot.Li Zhang and Zhiqing thanked Aunt Zhao, and sure enough they rushed to eat one by one.

Firecrackers were set off outside the house, and there was a lot of bang bang bang bang.Like a child, Li Zhang left the bowls and chopsticks to look for the firecrackers he bought, and dragged Zhiqing out the door.

The first new year of Li Zhang and Zhiqing came slowly in the cold and lively. They competed to light the biggest firecrackers, laughed heartily amidst the rising noise, secretly looking forward to the new life like this night, Calm and beautiful.

The author has something to say:

Sima Yi and Li Zhang were so deeply entangled, even if Li Zhang had completely abandoned him now, their mutual influence was still there.Love is not the only bond between people.

I think Sima Yi should feel that he can't let go, but in fact he has learned to cherish what he has around him.It is always easy for people to fall into a strange circle, that is, what is not available is the best. In fact, it is easier to get happiness if you know how to cherish it!
