At this time, a man walked to me alone.

I still didn't look back, but even if I didn't look back, I could feel the strength and oppression of his breath. I instantly wrapped the person up, as if I was locked in an invisible cage, and even my breathing was under his control.

I thought he was going to say something, but he just stood beside me, reached out to hold the fence, and seemed to be watching the snow-white waves like me, and didn't speak for a long time.

The two of them fell into a strange calm.

Around us, the guards and maids, all worked carefully. The boatman was still shouting loudly, and he was about to reach the middle of the river and wanted to hold the rudder. On the bow of the boat, Li Er and Gu Ping were watching the fish jumping out of the water from time to time on the river. He laughed happily, while Gu Ping was perfunctory, while he was still caring around me.

At this moment, Pei Yuanhao's somewhat low voice rang in his ears-

"You have taken your son to Jixiang Village?"

“…”

My heart suddenly skipped a beat.

When I was still in the palace in the past, I knew that he hated the relationship between me and Liu Qinghan, and even asked me to take care of my eyes. I think he knew how much Liu Qinghan helped me when I escaped back then. Now I suddenly said that I took Li'er to Jixiang Village. Could it be that he wanted to-

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at him with caution.

But he did not look at me, but held his hands with his arms on the fence, and looked at the river quietly until he felt my gaze, and turned his head to look at me.

I looked at him with a complicated expression, and after a while, I nodded: "Yes."

Unexpectedly, he did not change his emotions. In fact, he would not easily show his emotions to others. He just said softly after being silent for a while: "I still remember there."

“…”

"I saw Li'er for the first time, and it was there."

“…”

"In a blink of an eye, nine years have passed."

He said, turning his head to look at the fence lying on the bow of the boat, pointing to a silver fish jumping out of the water ahead, Li'er clapping his hands so much that he said softly: "My daughter has grown so old."

“…”

"I'm also very happy to see her wearing the clothes I gave her."

My eyes heated up and my head lowered.

At this time, I also felt that I was getting too close to him, and his tone of speaking was a little too close. The feeling made me feel a little uncomfortable, and subconsciously I was about to walk to Li'er. But just as I turned around, he said behind me again: "Why haven't I named Li'er yet?"

“…”

My steps stagnated.

Looking back at him, he also looked at Li'er, who was laughing and playing not far away: "She is too old."

I was silent for a while, but finally stopped. I held the fence with one hand and said slowly: "I have been busy for the past few years, and I always feel that she is still young and want to be more naive for a few years. I just drag it down, keep dragging it down."

He nodded, as if he understood what I meant, and said, "But, after all, he is over nine years old, so it's not good to call him a nickname."

I nodded, too.

Speaking of this, both of them paused and didn't know how to continue. After all, if Li'er really wanted to get a big name, it wouldn't be possible to think about it overnight. After all, she is the daughter of my eldest daughter of Miss Yan, the adopted daughter of Pei Yuanxiu, the lord of Jiangnan, and the eldest daughter of the emperor.

He said softly again: "If possible, I hope that the word 'Li' can be called for a lifetime."

My heart trembled slightly and I glanced at him.

At this moment, although he called himself "I", the breath around him was completely gone without the completely familiar ruthlessness and sinisterness of the past. On the contrary, there was a kind of almost unfamiliar tenderness and warmth, as if the one standing in front of me was really just a father, a innocent father who longed for family affection and hoped to preserve his daughter.

I thought about it for a long time and said lightly: "I hope too."

After saying this, I stopped stopping and turned around to the bow of the boat. Li'er was saying something happily to Gu Ping. When he saw me coming over, he immediately smiled and said, "Mom, come and see, you can see a lot of fish here."

I smiled, “Is that so?”

"Yes, come and see!"

She said, looking behind me again, with a pleasant expression on her little face paused for a moment, and then immediately a bright smile appeared: "You are here too!"

Without looking back, I knew that when I heard the footsteps, Pei Yuanhao followed him.

Gu Ping immediately took a step back, the smile on his face suddenly retracted, and a heavy and cautious expression appeared. Pei Yuanhao seemed to have not seen him at all, walked to Li'er with a smile and said, "Let me see, Li'er, what fish have you seen, so happy?"

"Look at that side!"

Li'er stretched out her finger and pointed to a lively fish that jumped from time to time on the river. It flashed with orange-red silver light, which was very beautiful. Pei Yuanhao took a look and smiled and said, "It's a carp. I heard that the carp in the Yangtze River is very plump. I can make some fish in the future and make fresh fish sashimi for you to eat."

When Li'er heard this, he shook his head quickly: "No, don't go and fight."

"Why?"

"My mother said, don't beat the carp in the river in March."

“…March is over now.”

"But, they just gave birth to a lot of small fish, don't hit them at this time." After saying that, she turned to look at me: "Is it right, mom?"

I looked at her with a smile, without saying a word.

Pei Yuanhao looked at Li'er quietly for a while, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. I wonder if it was because of the mist of water, his smile also seemed particularly gentle, and even more exuding an indescribable joy.

He smiled and said, "Li'er is such a sensible and kind child. He looks like my son."

Li'er raised her head and looked at him: "Do you have a son?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Well, like you, you are very obedient and sensible," he smiled and said subconsciously: "Just..."

Li'er's eyes widened and looked at him, waiting for his next sentence, but Pei Yuanhao seemed to suddenly come to his senses, smiled, pointed to the side and said, "Look over there, there is a group of fish following our boat."

Li'er glanced at him again, but didn't say anything, but immediately lay down on the fence and looked over. While watching, he also greeted Gu Ping to go over. In fact, Gu Ping was quite uncomfortable on the boat, especially when facing Pei Yuanhao, he certainly knew the supreme identity of this man. As a person from his hostile camp, he had no hostility towards him. Therefore, every time he passed by Pei Yuanhao, he seemed particularly at a loss. Fortunately, Li'er was making trouble, and this embarrassment was not so obvious, and even Pei Yuanhao didn't pay attention to him.

I stood at the bow of the boat and didn't follow me. I just felt the river breeze blowing over, which was cool and moist, making people feel a little more comfortable.

This time, I first spoke: "I miss him deeply--he is now His Royal Highness, right?"

He nodded.

"Is he okay?"

"It's okay." He said, and looked at me again: "Li Er, they are very obedient and sensible, and they are a good boy."

“…”

It seems that there is still something unfinished to say.

I asked, "Then, what else isn't that disappointment?"

The river water under his feet roared, and a splash of water jumped out. A fat carp jumped out of the water again. He saw it, but his eyes were stained with a faint gloom. After a while, he said: "Li'er's kindness is what a woman deserves, but his kindness-"

I haven't finished speaking.

But I already understand.

Nian Shen is as kind as Li Er. As a girl, charity is a necessary virtue. As a crown prince, in the deep nine-level three halls, surrounded by conspiracy, Nian Shen's charity is naturally a virtue of a benevolent king, but it is inevitable that people will worry about whether he can survive such a torrential adversity.

The ancients all knew that Ci was not in charge of military affairs, and Nian Shen's status was more important and more sensitive than in charge of military affairs.

However, I didn't answer this.

After all, that was already his family business, and it wasn't my turn like an outsider to interrupt. I really didn't want to participate in his affairs again.

Whether he is satisfied with Nianshen or not, Nianshen is already the prince and the heir to his country. If he has any requirements for Nianshen, he will probably have to worry about it himself.

However, there is someone I cannot ignore.

"Empress, how are she?"

This time, Pei Yuanhao glanced at me and did not answer immediately.

And I clearly saw a faint haze on his face. After a moment of silence, he said, "Do you know about her?"

I nodded.

He sighed and said, "She hasn't been well after that."

I hurriedly said, "Has I not recuperated?"

“…Some injuries are not on the body.”

“…”

When I heard his voice with a bit of haggardness, I suddenly realized that a sensation came from my heart.

Some injuries are not on the body.

Only those who have experienced this kind of pain will understand. Although Yan Wuyu has long said that Chang Qing's constitution is cold, and her fate is in conflict with the star of the fight, it is a sign of having no children, and Chang Qing has always been indifferent to it, but knowing that it is one thing and pain is another. No matter how cold and indifferent her personality is, she cannot be completely indifferent to the passage of the fetus in her belly.

I heard Pei Yuanhao say that her injuries are not on her body, and she hasn't even recovered in recent years. You can imagine that she is actually very eager for this child deep down.

but--

My eyes suddenly turned red.

His voice hoarsely said, "If possible, I hope I can-"
