night snow full of clear branches

"How is the concubine?" Wei Xue asked suddenly.

"Very good." I thought she was just asking casually, so I answered casually.

Wei Xue asked again: "What did you say?" It seemed that it was not just a random question.

"It's just some trivial matters in the parents' eyes." Among them, they are mainly concerned about my marriage.

"Could it be that she only asks about your life-long events." Only Wei Xue expected things to be so miraculous.

Uh……

Seeing that I was speechless, Wei Xue, who was originally quite calm, suddenly gave me a sharp look.She said: "Whoever asks again in the future, you might as well tell him directly that this is a question that will beheaded."

The frantic answer did not conform to Wei Xue's usual style of doing things at all.

"Actually, sometimes I feel that it's good to be with the emperor just like this." This sometimes refers to when she is more gentle, or maybe I have already gotten used to getting along with her.

"Really." Wei Xue looked relieved, and said again: "Don't you think there is something missing between us?"

"What's missing?" I wondered.

"Forget it, accompany me to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

I just remembered that the prime minister's daughter got married today, and the emperor agreed to go and see it on a whim, so he was considered half of the officiant.

I thought it was just to come and take a look, but as soon as the prime minister asked him to stay, Wei Xue went along with the flow and stayed for dinner, which was really careless.

"Qingzhi, sit down too." I sat down as a matter of course, and as soon as I sat down, I saw a glass of wine pushed by Wei Xue.

"Drink."

I'm not an abstainer from alcohol, nor an alcoholic, but in my opinion, alcohol is needed when I'm happy, but Wei Xue is the opposite of me, she only drinks when she's in a bad mood.This time, it seems that Wei Xue is not in a good mood, at least from the abnormal behavior that she started drinking as soon as she sat down.

She was in a bad mood, so I followed suit.

"Don't you drink it? There's no other way, so I have to drink it alone." After finishing speaking, the prime minister looked at me wonderingly, so he could only look at me for help.

I laughed and said: "Ling Ai is getting married today, and the emperor is happy too. Why don't you have a few drinks too, Mr. Prime Minister?"

Although hesitant, the prime minister took the wine I poured. There were not many people at the table, and the prime minister and Wei Xue drank the most. The others, like me, just waited and watched.

I have known Weixue for so many years, but I have never seen her get drunk. First of all, she is very restrained in everything she does and never indulges herself.

I have admired this perseverance since I was a child. I remember Wei Yu said before that I am actually the opposite of the emperor. She is rational and I am casual. She is calm and I am presumptuous...

Maybe, I can see her drunk today. Thinking about it, I really look forward to it. I don’t know what will happen to her when she is drunk. Then I must...

Just thinking about it, Wei Xue squinted her eyes and leaned on my shoulder. She doesn't look good when she drinks, and she can't tell that she is drunk.

"The emperor drank too much, I'd better send her back to the palace earlier." As he said that, the two maids beside him also came to help, and the sedan chair outside had already been prepared.

Before leaving, the Prime Minister gave me a worried look and said, "I don't think the Emperor is quite right these days. If there is anything wrong, Mr. Mu, please remember to let me know."

I nodded hastily, thinking what could be the matter, when people are always in a bad mood, her heart is like a needle in the sea, and I can't catch it.

Fu Weixue got into the sedan chair and was about to get out, but her hand was tightly clutching my sleeve and wouldn't let go.

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't break it off. The hand suddenly seemed to grow on my sleeve, which made me almost have the urge to break the sleeve off.

"Master Mu, you'd better get on the sedan chair together, just squeeze." The lady attendant said kindly when she saw that I was struggling for a long time to no avail.

"That's it."

On the sedan chair, Wei Xue let go of my sleeve and changed hands to hold me.

"Your Majesty, how much have you drunk?" I turned my head to see her half-closed eyes, half drunk, half awake, and didn't answer me.

"Hey, it's rare for you to get drunk once, so go back and have a good rest." I know that you have been tired all these years.

Until the bedroom, Wei Xue still held my hand. In desperation, I had no choice but to continue to let her lean on her. The maid washed her face and brought water to rinse her mouth. I wondered if I should give her a bowl of hangover soup. But the idea stopped as soon as it came out.

For Wei Xue, it must be luck if she is not awake for a moment.

After cleaning up, I asked Wei Xue to lie down, and wanted to break her hand away again, but I heard her say, "Qingzhi, don't go."

"Well, don't go." Anyway, they often sleep together, but the atmosphere is a little different tonight.

When I lay down next to Wei Xue, she rolled over and came to me, buried her face in the crest of my neck, and kept rubbing and rubbing.

"Three points sober from drunk, Your Majesty, you are pretending to be crazy with the help of alcohol."

"Don't talk." Weixue put her index finger near my lips, her closed eyes suddenly opened, although she was still drunk, she was half awake compared to before.

We just looked at each other for a long time, only to feel that the world is silent and everything in the world is vague.

"Go to sleep." With a smile on the corner of Wei Xue's mouth, she turned over and fell asleep on her own.

People say that alcohol can mess with sex, but I don’t think Wei Xue has changed much after being drunk. I hoped that once she was not sober, I could also take the opportunity to make fun of or tease her. I think this chance is gone. .

I turned my head and looked at the shoulder of Wei Xue next to me, showing a lonely silhouette in the night, alas, who told you to be a loner, I have never seen you laugh, let alone cry, go crazy...

When was the first time I saw you, Fuyu Mountain Villa? The second time I saw you was in the palace. The first time you were happy, but the second time you became unpredictable.

Brother Min Tao said that you are cruel to others and you are cruel to yourself. He advised me to leave you as soon as possible. Apart from objective factors, I was still hesitating in my heart. It was also a sting.

Senior brother lost the person he loved the most, and you also lost the trust of a good friend.

You said what is the purpose of life to have such a bleak night.

Gradually, my eyelids became heavy and I fell asleep.

In the dream, a group of snakes entangled me, surrounded me, and almost suffocated. In horror, I reached out and touched Wei Xue's hand. It turned out that the snake was not a snake, but a human being. At this moment, she was slapping me.

The two are half undressed, what are they going to do?

I looked at Wei Xue in astonishment, but unfortunately the night was dark, she couldn't see my expression clearly, and I couldn't see her changes clearly either.

"You—this is—" I wanted to ask, but I didn't know what to ask.

She didn't say anything, just kissed me, and I didn't bother to ask the rest.Although I was half apprehensive and half hesitant, everything that should have happened and should not have happened happened.

Later, I fell asleep in a daze and woke up at dawn.

In the dim light, I looked at Wei Xue, who had just woken up and looked at me with clear eyes. At that moment, I suddenly understood what she meant yesterday when she said that we were missing something.

"Want to get up?" she asked.

As soon as I turned over, I suddenly realized that I was not wearing anything, and the embarrassment came out in an instant. "Did you see my clothes?"

"I don't know, I'll look for it for you." As Wei Xue sat up, I found that she was wearing clothes. This...what the hell happened last night and later.

She brought my clothes over, and I reached out and pulled the clothes into the quilt. Since she was staring at me, I was embarrassed to make any moves for a long time.

"Don't you want to wear it?" There was a hint of teasing in the words.

"No..." I started to rummage through the innermost clothes, and she lay down and hugged me again, God, who knows what it feels like to be hugged when I have sex and is still awake.

Wei Xue closed her eyes and said slowly, "I really want to hold you like this forever."

"This doesn't look like you at all." Since yesterday, Wei Xue is not like the Wei Xue I am used to.

"Then what do you think is like me?"

"I don't know, it doesn't look like it anyway."

"Ha, put on your clothes." She said as she took the clothes and began to help me put them on, which made me even more embarrassed. "Don't bother you, I'll do it myself."

"When I undressed you, why didn't I see you have this self-awareness?"

……me……

"Your Majesty, you have changed." You have become unserious at all, and this humble minister is really terrified.

"Qingzhi, you have changed too."

Yes, remember how informal I was back then, being so condescending is really not the attitude of my sons and daughters.

Perhaps from the moment we met, everything was destined to change.

Because Concubine Min came to Beijing, Weixue gave me two more days off, so I went to Xie Mansion every day. Since that day, I have often been in a daze, said to be confused, more like thinking about the future.

"Why are you in a daze again!" Si Yong came and pushed me, I turned around in a daze, and saw Concubine Min was there.

"Just thinking about the future."

"Yo, you're starting to worry about the future too?" Si Yong's eyes lit up.

"It's not that I'm worried. In fact, I don't care about what will happen in the future. It's just that sometimes I can't help but think about it."

Concubine Min asked: "Honestly, what happened?"

"Where does this tell me to start?" I sighed, I am not a deep person, it is difficult to hide a bad mood or something in my heart, Si Yong and the others can see that it is normal.

In fact, I also want to talk to someone, but I don't know how to say it.

After thinking about it again and again, I still briefly talked about the matter between me and Weixue. Concubine Min shook her head and sighed: "I should have expected this earlier."

Si Yong said: "I felt something was wrong a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to be even more unexpected."

They didn't show any obvious objection, but they were more worried.

"I have to tell my sister about it." Concubine Min was talking about my mother, and I didn't stop it. In fact, maybe only my mother can give me the best answer.

After being away from home for many years, when things come to an end, I still think of my mother. Even if she can't change my mind, she can make me see the current situation clearly.

Because I have already been stuck in the mud and can't extricate myself.
