The eldest princess is still single today

"Why is elder sister still in the study so late? Oh, by the way, why didn't you see Shen Chun today? Has she left the palace?"

Out of the corner of Guan Qingyi's eyes, she glanced at Guan Kezhao who stepped in from the door of the study, picked up a pen and continued with the work at hand, and replied casually: "Yes, today is a holiday, and she hasn't returned to Chunyi Building for a long time to see Yes. Too many things have happened in the palace during this period, and the city must be full of wind and rain outside the palace. Let her go back to save her mother from worrying."

Guan Kezhao nodded, walked closer and said, "Hey, the weather is turning cold really fast now. I think it will be winter soon, and I'll tell the people below to put on thicker curtains after a while. "

Guan Qingyi let out a "hmm", then tilted her head again: "Well, it's so late, what are you doing here?"

"Elder Sister's words are really weird and unkind, as if she dislikes me for coming here for nothing." Guan Kezhao muttered and approached, "Eldest Sister, what are you doing now?"

"Then I apologize, is this okay?" Guan Qingyi sighed softly, and turned her body slightly so that Guan Kezhao could see what she was writing clearly, "Of course I am preparing for tomorrow. After all I should go to court with you tomorrow, if there is no real material, how can we shut up those idiots who are full of pedantic benevolence and morality?"

Guan Kezhao sighed: "Eldest sister, in fact, I still don't have a solid foundation in my heart. They still supported you when I was unconscious before, but the reason may not be because they believed you and supported you. It may be out of loyalty to the emperor, thinking that you are more likely to return to power than Xiao Yueming; secondly, it may be out of party struggle, thinking that if I wake up early and regain power, I may settle accounts with them after autumn... Maybe there is I have other ideas, but no matter what, I don’t think it’s possible to support your position.”

"If no one supports it, we shouldn't do it. We shouldn't have won when we seized the throne." Guan Qingyi said lightly, "We always have to fight for this kind of thing. It's never done when there is support, but Asking for support because you want to do it. By the way, is my seat ready?"

Guan Kezhao shook his head: "Not yet."

Guan Qingyi frowned and said, "Why are you so slow?"

"The elder sister's seat is also made according to the dragon chair. What is needed is to be as gorgeous and exquisite as the dragon chair, so as to not lose the status of the elder sister." Guan Kezhao explained, "But maybe it is because I The craftsmen were required to pursue quality, so the construction period was delayed.”

"Forget it, there's nothing to do about it." Guan Qingyi mused, "That's fine, let them accept it step by step. Tomorrow, as long as I appear in the court, it will be a big deal for them." It’s already a bolt from the blue. Ah, I really want to see their frightened expressions quickly.”

Guan Kezhao couldn't help laughing softly after hearing her slightly childish words.

"what happened?"

Guan Kezhao shook his head: "It's nothing. I'm just... the eldest sister has always been calm and calm, and suddenly I heard the eldest sister say such a thing, and it feels fresh for a while."

Having said that, he suddenly felt a little sad, and murmured: "Now that I think about it, Eldest Sister just keeps showing the majesty of Eldest Sister in front of me, so that I can always feel at ease. Now I am wondering if it has been Is it because I dragged you down? It started when I was a child. For example, when the concubine Chun passed away..."

Guan Qingyi stopped writing, raised her head slightly and looked directly at her younger brother whom she had grown up with.Now that he has grown up, although there is still a little childishness on his face that has not completely faded, he is already a real emperor.At this time, the young emperor had a look of nostalgia and guilt on his face, showing a melancholy temperament.

"After all, it's a thing of the past." Guan Qingyi said.

Guan Kezhao shook his head: "It's not that the past will disappear with time, it will only become an eternal imprint in the memory. Even if everything is beautified by time, the facts are the facts. I have been thinking a few days ago, if I It's not so selfish to force the elder sister to stay in the palace, the elder sister is afraid that she is already the son and daughter of Qin Se and Harmony around her knees."

"Life is full of gains and losses. If I had really become the wife of a certain mansion, even though I had rich clothes and fine food, I would have lost my current status and power." Guan Qingyi laughed softly, " Now that I think about it, I like my current life even more. So now there is nothing to blame you for."

Guan Kezhao couldn't help but asked again: "Sister, tell me the truth now. Have you...have you ever hated and blamed me?"

Guan Qingyi was silent for a while, then nodded: "Rather than saying it was once, it's better that I blamed you not long ago."

"why?"

"I used to think that what I did was my duty and responsibility as the daughter of the queen mother and as your sister. Although I feel sad, I will not blame you." Guan Qingyi I lowered my head, "But I thought about it later, why should I regard these as my responsibilities? Since ancient times, women have to sacrifice for the family, from sisters to mothers and even grandmothers, but why?"

Guan Kezhao had obviously never considered this question, so he could only mutter: "Why?"

Guan Qingyi smiled, and looked tenderly at her own younger brother who was brought up by one hand: "Zhaoer, tell me truthfully, do you think I am inferior to men?"

Guan Kezhao shook his head immediately: "Of course not!"

"That's good. Gu Renren once said: 'The past should not be admonished, but the coming can still be pursued'." Guan Qingyi said softly, "In this case, although I still can't figure out why it has become the present That’s it. But since it’s a fait accompli, let’s change it.”

She raised her head to look at Guan Kezhao again, with a gentle and expectant expression: "Zhaoer, can you understand? Can you help me again?"

Guan Kezhao pursed his lips, and finally nodded firmly.

"Thank you." Guan Qingyi said with a smile.

Guan Kezhao put his arms around her shoulders: "You don't need to thank me, elder sister, we are brothers and sisters. Isn't it only natural for me to help you?"
