Quick Wear: Bai Yueguang perfectly interprets the success of saving the world

Since meeting each other was a deliberate plan, we will never get what we want in this life.

Before Yan Qing was sent back to the capital, Pei Zhuo knew that she would be raised by Xie Eryun.

Xie Eryun advised, "The Queen Mother has persuaded your father to raise General An's young daughter in Fengyi Palace. Although General An is dead, his old subordinates are still loyal to him. With this girl around, they will pay more attention to you. Zhuo'er, seize the opportunity."

Hearing this, Pei Zhuo, who was still a young boy, instantly understood the meaning of Eryun's words. He bowed and said, "I will follow your mother's teachings. I know what to do now."

Although he was the legitimate son of the Empress, he had many brothers.

If he wants to seize the position of crown prince, he can only rely on external forces and gain more bargaining chips to stand out among his brothers.

Xie Eryun saw that Pei Zhuo's manners and etiquette were flawless, and his every move was in accordance with the demeanor of a crown prince. She nodded with satisfaction.

Then she remembered what Yi Zuo had told her about Emperor Chongming's schedule, and Xie Eryun said slowly, "That's great, go review your lessons, your father will go to the Shangshufang for an examination tomorrow."

Pei Zhuo bowed again and said, "Yes, I will take my leave."

It was not until he walked out of Fengyi Palace that Pei Zhuo's suppressed feeling of depression in his heart was relieved a little and he was able to take a break.

A few days later, General An's orphan arrived in the capital.

Emperor Chongming adopted her as his daughter with great fanfare, registered her under the name of Li Eryun, and treated her the same as other princesses in the palace.

After Pei Zhuo finished his riding and archery class, he learned that the little girl was already in Fengyi Palace. Thinking of his mother's instructions, he changed his clothes and went there.

However, just after entering Fengyi Palace, before she had the time to visit her nominal sister, she was called away by Xie Eryun's people.

When she got to Eryun, she handed a piece of letter paper to Pei Zhuo: "Take a good look."

Pei Zhuo took it and looked at the news about An Feizhu written on it, somewhat confused as to its meaning.

"I am a dull son, please enlighten me, mother."

Xie Eryun said in a deep voice: "This child suffered a great shock at the border, and now no one cares about him. But Zhuo'er, this is a great opportunity for you."

She smiled and said with an ambiguous meaning, "I learned that her current appearance is related to her deceased brother. You and An Feizhu are of similar age, so aren't you her brother now?"

Yi Zuo had seen someone in a similar situation to Yan Qing, so he told her that although Yan Qing had no reaction to the outside world now, it would be easiest to approach her by finding an entry point. Naturally, Yi Zuo found out that the entry point was An Feizhu.

As long as she can get all the support from the An family army, it doesn't matter if her Zhuoer temporarily imitates An Feizhu's behavior.

Pei Zhuo's hand holding the letter paused slightly, with some disapproval in his heart, but looking at the expression on Xie Eryun's face, he pursed his lips and said, "Your son knows."

Xie Eryun smiled and said, "Your sister is in the side hall."

Pei Zhuo nodded in understanding and said, "Then I will go see my sister first."

After he finished speaking, he went to the side hall.

The palace maids and eunuchs in the side hall had already been transferred away by Jie Eryun, so when Pei Zhuo arrived, there was no one there.

He frowned and looked around but still didn't see Yan Qing. It was not until he was about to leave to find Xie Eryun that he saw a piece of clothing in the gap between the bed and the wall.

Pei Zhuo walked over there quickly and saw a cute little girl squatting in the corner with a dull and empty look in her eyes.

“Are you Qingqing?”

Yan Qing did not respond to her, as if he didn't even see him.

Pei Zhuo was silent for a while, remembering what was written in the letter: An Feizhu had a gentle temperament, and although he was young, he already had some gentlemanly demeanor.

Pei Zhuo's eyebrows suddenly showed a gentle smile. He stretched out his hand to Yan Qing and said in a clear voice: "Qingqing, I am your brother."

This sentence seemed to turn on a switch. The girl curled up in the corner tilted her head to look at him, and light slowly appeared in her originally empty eyes.

She held Pei Zhuo's hand and said softly, "Brother, you finally came to see me. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Pei Zhuo didn't hear Yan Qing's words clearly. When Yan Qing looked up at him, he was stunned.

He watched as those eyes gradually filled with color, and when they looked at him, they were completely focused and sincere, as if he was her whole world.

Even though Pei Zhuo knew that these intense emotions were for An Feizhu, he was still uncontrollably moved.

Family ties have always been shallow in the palace. He and his brothers only get along well on the surface, but they are competitors in secret.

As for the princesses, they are naturally closer to their own brothers.

Although Pei Zhuo didn't say it, he was still a little envious in his heart.

But he was the only child of his mother, and she taught him not to get too close to other princes and princesses. Pei Zhuo could only show indifference to these things.

And now, Queen Mother Yan Qing also acquiesced.

Pei Zhuo lowered his eyes and thought aimlessly that this would be his sister in the future.

After Yang Yanqing, Pei Zhuo's original sincerity, which was only two points, increased a lot over time, but he also did not forget why he approached Yan Qing.

The An family army that remained in the capital city was indeed more inclined towards them, but it was not enough, so sometimes he would find opportunities to take Yan Qing out of the palace to meet these people.

Under his influence, Yan Qing no longer rejected strangers and treated her father's old subordinates the same way as when they were at the border, and recognized them.

Pei Zhuo discovered that the only thing Yan Qing deliberately forgot was An Feizhu's death. After he replaced An Feizhu, everything seemed to form a logical chain in her mind that could convince herself.

Just like his identity, she can choose to ignore these unreasonable things or rationalize them in a way that he is unaware of.

Pei Zhuo felt a little complicated, but he couldn't say anything.

However, regarding the fact that Yan Qing no longer rejects strangers, Pei Zhuo feels that it is better to reject them sometimes.

For example, the eldest son of the Zhenbei Wang family, Jiang Huaixu.

That day, as soon as Pei Zhuo returned to Fengyi Palace, he saw Jiang Huaixu had come over and was talking to Yan Qing.

His eyes darkened. To outsiders, he seemed to be unhurried, but in fact, he walked over very quickly. He quietly separated Jiang Huaixu and Yan Qing before asking, "What are Qingqing and the prince talking about?"

Jiang Huaixu obviously couldn't stand him either, so he turned his head and said, "Why should I tell you?"

But when he finished speaking, Yan Qing said, "Brother Huaixu said he would take me out of the palace."

Pei Zhuo glanced at the wilted Jiang Huaixu with a gentle smile. As he was still a teenager, his Qi cultivation skills were not yet up to par, so there was a hint of provocation in his eyes.

It was as if he was saying: See, my sister is still his and I won’t hide anything from him.

After Jiang Huaixu also left the palace, Pei Zhuo said to Yan Qing: "I will take Qingqing out of the palace to play."

After Yan Qing nodded in agreement, Pei Zhuo began to prepare to leave the palace. This time was different from taking Yan Qing to meet General An's old subordinates, so it would be difficult to hide it from others.

Pei Shiyu still took some effort to get the consent of Xie Eryun and Emperor Chongming.

After leaving the palace, Yan Qing looked indifferent, without much excitement.

Pei Zhuo looked at Yan Qing, whose face was tense, and laughed. He took Yan Qing to the busiest street in the east and asked with a smile, "Qingqing, is there anything you like?"

Yan Qing set his eyes on the nearest stall selling sugar figures. The sugar paintings on it were lifelike.

Pei Zhuo also followed her gaze and walked to the stall with Yan Qing in her hand and asked, "Which one does Qingqing want?"

Yan Qing was silent for a while and then asked, "Brother, can I have a horse?"

Pei Zhuo smiled and said, "Of course."

He glanced at the stalls, but there were no sugar paintings of horses. Pei Zhuo paused and asked the stall owner in front of him, "Can you make horses, old man?"

The man who made the sugar painting was an old man. Although the two of them were young, he had an extraordinary aura and it was obvious that he was from a wealthy family. I just don't know which family this young man came from to sneak out with his sister.

So when Pei Zhuo and his companions stepped into this area, people on the street were looking at them secretly, and the old man who made sugar paintings was no exception.

After hearing Pei Zhuo's question, he immediately said, "Don't worry, young master. What I am best at drawing is horses. Whether they are running, standing still, or jumping, there is nothing I can't draw. I just don't know which one this young lady wants."

Yan Qing whispered back, "Running."

After getting the style that Yan Qing wanted, the old man was not vague. In just a short while, a running horse took shape.

He handed the freshly made sugar painting to Yan Qing. After Yan Qing took it, he looked at the sugar painting with his eyes slightly curved, looking extremely happy.

Seeing this, Pei Zhuo was not stingy and took out a tael of silver and gave it to the old man.

This tael of silver could cover his family's income for half a year. The old man took it with a smile on his face, and he kept pouring out nice words.

Pei Zhuo and Yan Qing quickly fled and exited the street.

He took Yan Qing to visit a few interesting places. When they wanted to go somewhere else, it was already getting dark, and the gate of the palace would be locked in a quarter of an hour.

Pei Zhuo had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​continuing to stroll around and took Yan Qing towards the direction of the palace.

When we were halfway there, we saw a vendor carrying a bunch of candied haws on his shoulders.

Yan Qing paused, and suddenly remembered someone once said to her: "Qingqing, when you go to the capital, I will take you to eat candied haws. They are sour and sweet, and you will definitely like them..."

But before Yan Qing could think further, a string of candied haws dangled in front of her.

Yan Qing came back to her senses and saw Pei Zhuo's slightly doting smile in front of her.

Yan Qing took the string of candied haws from Pei Zhuo's hand. The person in front of her seemed to be more and more similar to a figure in her mind.

"Thank you, brother."

Pei Zhuo was unaware of anything. As the sun set, he took Yan Qing's hand and walked back towards the palace.

During the few hours that Pei Zhuo accompanied Yan Qing to visit the capital, he seemed to have completely forgotten his identity as the second prince and the responsibilities he should bear. He just felt happy.

***

Several years passed in a flash.

Many things have changed subtly.

For example, the An family army fully supported his ascension to the throne of crown prince, and even began to help him with all their might.

For example, when Pei Zhuo watched Jiang Huaixu approach Yan Qing little by little, jealousy, anger and panic all came over him.

She was jealous that Jiang Huaixu could express his love for Yan Qing so openly, she was angry that Jiang Huaixu actually coveted Yan Qing, and at the same time she was afraid that Yan Qing would really be moved by Jiang Huaixu's words.

It was not until this moment that Pei Zhuo suddenly realized that his feelings had quietly deteriorated at some point, and he didn't want to be just a brother anymore.

But after his repeated attempts, Pei Zhuo had to admit that Yan Qing didn't have him in her eyes, or it should be said that she couldn't see him.

In Yan Qing's heart, he was just a brother, An Feizhu's shadow, not even the royal brother.

Moreover, Pei Zhuo clearly understood that all the special treatment he received from Yan Qing now came from An Feizhu, and he still had to put on this elegant mask to get along with Yan Qing.

Pei Zhuo was in great pain and struggle.

So he no longer called Yan Qingqingqing, but Qingqing.

It seemed that only in this way could he and An Feizhu be separated. Even if Qingqing didn't know it, it was a secret comfort to him.

In March, peach blossoms are in full bloom at Fanyin Temple.

Pei Zhuo found a reason to bring Yan Qing out.

It was not for any other reason, but because he had heard a rumor.

If you come to Fanyin Temple with your loved one to burn incense during the days when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, you will be together forever and love each other till old age.

Pei Zhuo originally didn't believe in these things, but when he had something to ask for, he wanted to pray to all the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

He hoped for a good outcome with Qingqing, and hoped that Qingqing would have some other feelings for him.

So when he burned incense, Pei Zhuo was pious for once. If the gods and Buddhas were effective, they would let him get what he wanted.

When Yan Qing asked him what he wanted.

Pei Zhuo looked at her cold eyes, but he was still nowhere to be seen.

So Pei Zhuo just lowered his eyelashes, smiled tenderly and said: "The sea is calm and the river is clear, and the world is at peace."

He was a coward and didn't dare to reveal his true thoughts in front of Yan Qing.

After receiving his answer, Qingqing also smiled and said, "Brother, you care about Cangsheng, I think you will get what you want."

Pei Zhuo's eyes darkened for a moment. Now, he was concerned not only about the common people, but also the person in front of him.

And no matter what the reason is, if Qingqing said he can get what he wants, then he can definitely do it.

After burning incense, Pei Zhuo saw a place under the pine tree where he could hang a wooden sign. He was silent for a moment, then went over and took a wooden sign and started carving.

Seeing Pei Zhuo carving seriously, Yan Qing beside him asked: "Brother, what are you carving? Is it a wish?"

Hearing Yan Qing's question, Pei Zhuo smiled warmly, his hands moving non-stop, and replied: "It's a secret. It won't work if you tell it out."

Seeing him say this, Yan Qing did not ask any more questions.

After the wooden sign was carved, Pei Zhuo used his Qing Kung Fu to hang it up. Seeing more and more people coming, Pei Zhuo and Yan Qing also returned to the palace.

After they left, the wind blew through the pine trees, turning the wooden sign that Pei Zhuo had hung up over. Only six small words were engraved on it, and each stroke carried a special solemnity.

"Just want to get what you want."
