The dark purple skirt hung down beside the bed, embroidered with exquisite patterns, and the delicate and beautiful petals seemed to be in full bloom.The queen was leaning sideways on the bed, the gold hairpin was inserted into the high bun, and under the round earlobes, a pair of jadeite pendants hung in the air, exuding dazzling brilliance under the dazzling light.

The placket was slightly lower, revealing her fair and crisp shoulders. The queen put her slender hands on the side of the bed, took off the golden fingertips, and looked a little pure and beautiful.

Qi Qi, a court lady in pink, stood by the bed, lowered her head slightly, leaned over and gently beat the queen's calf.

The incense burner on the table slowly ignited a wisp of white mist, and the faint fragrance diffused in the room.

"Empress Empress, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pays homage to you." The maid ran to the Empress with small steps and said softly.

The queen raised her jade finger, and the maid at the side quickly stepped forward to support her and stood up slowly. She looked at a tall pale yellow figure in the distance, her eyes were a little dark.

"Let the prince come in." The queen waved her hand, Xuan'er must have come to see her because of Xiaowan's affairs, she knew Xuan'er's character, she was extremely stubborn, and she would never give up because of her words that day.

The queen picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip, leaving a faint scent of tea. Although she would not force Xuan'er, Xuan'er had to obey the decree she had made anyway.

"My son pays homage to the queen mother." Wei Xuan approached the bed and bowed. He looked at the queen mother's leisurely expression, and was a little surprised in his heart. The queen mother had already seen his decisive attitude that day, but he had waited for many days without waiting for the queen mother's return. Summoned, could it be that the queen mother didn't take this matter to heart, or the queen mother was sure that he would marry his cousin.

"Xuan'er, get up quickly." The queen just raised her hand to caress a little, her body leaning against the bed didn't move.

"My son has been busy with business recently, so I couldn't come to pay my respects to my mother. I don't know if my mother is well." Wei Xuan stepped forward and stood beside her.

"Everything in this palace is fine, don't worry, Xuan'er." The queen said softly, as if the events of that day had never happened. Although she never gave birth to Wei Xuan, she watched Wei Xuan grow up by her side, could it be Haven't seen through Wei Xuan's mind yet?

"Mother's queen." Wei Xuan looked at the mother's mother who looked as usual, and he couldn't hold back anymore. The wedding in a month's time will come soon, and he can't delay it for a few days.If Wei Xuan resisted the decree and deliberately escaped from the marriage, he would also lose the face of the royal family.

"Xuan'er, just speak up if you have something on your mind." The queen looked at Wei Xuan's eyes as if she had penetrated into his heart.

"I have thought about what happened that day for a long time after I went back. I don't love my cousin. After marrying her, keeping her confined in the cold palace will ruin her life. I am not willing to treat my cousin like this." Wei Xuan raised his head. Looking at the queen mother, the look in her eyes was extremely firm.

The queen smiled slightly, her face was extremely cold, she didn't want to be restrained but she spoke so rationally, as if she really cared about Xiaowan, "Who is Xuan'er's lover?"

A white figure appeared in Wei Xuan's mind. From the moment the teacher took his hand into the study, he had already imprinted the figure of the teacher in his heart, and it became more and more profound as the years went by. His honorable status has never confided in his teacher, and he even suspects that the teacher will leave his side.Thinking about it now, he was really wrong too much, Wei Xuan had a slight sadness on his face.

"It's an official lady, or a maid in the palace. If Ruo Xuan'er likes to accept her as a side concubine in the future, that's fine." The queen said slowly, Xuan'er is not young anymore, and she should have someone in her heart. She doesn't have extravagant hopes for Xuan'er To be able to pamper Xiaowan alone, as long as she hugs Chen's status in the palace.

Wei Xuan clenched his sleeves tightly, the person he likes can't be compared with the people in the harem, and letting the teacher enter the harem to serve him with those concubines will only tarnish the teacher.However, it is even more impossible for him to share his deep love for the teacher with others.

"What else does Xuan'er want?" The queen doesn't want to end up fighting against each other like the emperor and queen mother did back then, as long as Xuan'er's request is not too much, she may agree.

"Is this fair to the cousin?" Wei Xuan said slowly, with the cousin between them, maybe their relationship will become more and more distant, and he will not leave the cousin in the cold palace.

"Xiaowan misses Xuan'er day and night, and she is very happy to know that she can marry Xuan'er." The queen felt a chill in her heart. When she saw the emperor's handsome face, she had a lot of expectations in her heart, and she even hoped that the emperor would stay by his side every day. However, after a long time in the cold palace, her character gradually weakened, and she even resented why she was the eldest daughter of the Chen family.

Wei Xuan lowered his hands heavily, it turned out that what the Chen clan wanted was only the honorable status, as for what would happen to the cousin after she entered the palace, whether she would be favored by the emperor, they didn't care.

"Is the queen's position really that important, so important that she would sacrifice a young woman?" Wei Xuan's expression was a little excited. His uncle was already the head of the three princes, and he already had a high position, so why use his cousin to seek rights and interests.

"Marrying the prince is the dream of thousands of women. It is her honor for Xiaowan to marry Xuan'er, and how can it be a sacrifice." The queen looked at Wei Xuan coldly. Sacrificing decades of youth to wait for someone who will never step into the palace may be a bit unwilling, but it is enough for the sake of the clan.

"Mother, must my son marry my cousin?" Wei Xuan said slowly, his heart was full of bitterness, perhaps marrying his cousin as a concubine was not only the wish of the mother, but also the meaning of all the ministers in the court, and he was powerless to resist .

"After the emperor ascends the throne, he must establish a queen, and Xiaowan is gentle and virtuous, so she is also the best candidate for the queen." The queen will never allow Wei Xuan to make other women queens, at least she will keep Xiaowan's position as long as she is alive.

"I will not marry my cousin, nor will I marry any woman." Wei Xuan looked at the stern face of his mother, he couldn't help but look at that lonely figure, he had already hurt him once, he would rather block it alone Under thousands of oppression.

A tinge of anger ignited in the queen's heart, and she slapped her white palm vigorously towards the table, "As the crown prince, how can Xuan'er not marry a wife, and spread branches and leaves for the royal family."

Wei Xuan parted his lips slightly, he would never let any woman touch him, and he didn't have to worry about the heirs, the queen mother didn't have to worry about them, there were many bloodlines in the side clan, he just took one back and adopted it himself.

"Okay, Xuan'er doesn't need to say any more. Today, Xuan'er said this in a moment of confusion, and I didn't take it to heart. I hope that in the future, Xuan'er will think twice before speaking." It's too tolerant, but her repeated forbearance still can't satisfy Xuan'er, the matter has come to this point, and she doesn't want to ask Wei Xuan's consent anymore.

"The third wedding at the beginning of next month, Xuan'er should go back and prepare well." The queen said coldly.Xiaowan's temperament is much gentler than she was back then, maybe Xuan'er will get along with Xiaowan in harmony.

"Mother's Queen." Wei Xuan firmly grasped the bed rail, he couldn't sleep day and night because of this matter, will he still submit like his father in the end? No, he didn't want to see his teacher's handsome face overflowing with sadness, he I once vowed secretly in my heart that I must stay with the teacher for the rest of my life.

"Does Xuan'er want my palace to send someone to call the Taifu to persuade you?" The queen said emphatically, she had tried her best, but Xuan'er still couldn't understand her heart.

"No." Wei Xuan shook his head for a while, with a hint of fear on his face, he didn't want the teacher to endure the pain in his heart to persuade him, this matter was beyond his power, but he couldn't make the teacher sad anymore.

"Xuan'er go back and think about this matter carefully." The queen closed her eyes slightly, feeling a little tired between her brows, fortunately Xuan'er could still listen to the Taifu's words, otherwise she would really be powerless.

Wei Xuan lowered his head heavily, his eyes filled with despair, he once wanted to cherish his teacher, but he couldn't even take the first step, how will he fulfill his solemn oath in the future.I'm sorry, the nail pierced deeply into the flesh and there was a sharp pain. Is he going to go on the road of another life? No, if this is the case, why should he live a new life?

"Mother, I wish that I will only cherish my cousin in this life and never marry another woman." Wei Xuan said in a deep voice. He had no choice but to marry his cousin, but he would never let other women enter the palace again.

The queen suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Wei Xuan's face. Sure enough, Xuan'er had grown up, and she couldn't understand Xuan'er's mind more and more, "I'm getting old, and Xuan'er can decide for himself in the future." Maybe this is just Wei Xuan's rhetoric. As an emperor, how could he not be fraternal? She really hopes that Xuan'er can spoil Xiao Wan alone.

"Mother, my son is leaving first, so you can rest well." Wei Xuan turned around and strode down the steps.

The breeze caressed his beautiful face, and the broken hair on his forehead was a little messy. Wei Xuan walked forward as hard as he could, as if venting the pain in his heart. He never cared about the people passing by.

"Xuan'er." Pei Yan stopped where he was, and softly called Wei Xuan who had gone away.

Wei Xuan suddenly stopped and looked back at Pei Yan's face sideways, with a trace of pain in his eyes, "I'm sorry." When he got married in this life, he would watch his teacher sitting alone at the table, drinking sake, Filled with endless bitterness.Maybe he didn't care about the teacher's heart in the last life, but now he really cares about it and can't forget it anymore.

"Xuan'er, what's the matter?" Pei Yan approached Wei Xuan, looked at the slight hurt on his face, and asked with concern.

"It's nothing." Wei Xuan shook his head, the matter was irreversible, and he didn't want the teacher to bear the pain for him again.

Seeing that Pei Yan saw the huge plaque in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Wei Xuan reached out and grabbed his sleeve, "Teacher, I was a little sleepy this morning, and I didn't read that scroll."

"Is Xuan'er afraid of my punishment?" Pei Yan looked at Wei Xuan's slightly lowered face and said in a gentle voice. Although he had scolded Xuan'er a little, he never had the heart to punish Wei Xuan severely.

Wei Xuan shook his head slightly, he had done so many wrong things, he even hoped that the teacher would reprimand him in a cold voice, but the teacher never said anything, just looked at him from a distance, eyes full of disappointment and sadness.

"When Xuan'er reads the scroll in the afternoon, just put some thought into it." Seeing Wei Xuan's face of bowing his head and admitting his mistake, Pei Yan couldn't bear to say anything.

"Can I stay in the teacher's study room in the afternoon? Don't worry, I won't be too noisy when I read the scrolls." Wei Xuan moved a little closer to Pei Yan, his eyes full of treasure.The big marriage was his last compromise, and he would never back down again in the future.

"Okay." Pei Yan nodded.
