Chapter 18 Dreams
Episode 1, Section 18, Dream
He resisted the urge to spray a sip of tea, because Ye Tao knew that if it was sprayed out, the extremely difficult mirror-painted floor would have to be dragged by himself. Ye Tao sat upright and said seriously and helplessly: "Dream. In fact, it is also very simple. Let yourself live a better life and make the people around you live a better life, and then, if possible, make this era more like the previous era. Perhaps, that's it?"
Tan Weixin nodded and said, "It's almost the same. As for whether it looks like it in the era, I don't care whether it's like it. Maybe I was not as good as you in that era, and I didn't have so much nostalgia." Tan Weixin smiled bitterly and said, "But when she was born in the first family in Dongping, when her happiness had to be linked to the entire country and the welfare of the people, it was really not a good life. Sometimes, I also wish I was a man, a strong man, so there was a reason to resist these things on my shoulders, and I didn't refuse or consider retreating, and one way to the dark.
Or I hope I can only live in the home of ordinary people and grow up safely. But this is the case. If it were a commoner family, I would probably have died long ago. Even if I change to a poorer country to become a princess, I might not be willing to throw so many precious medicinal materials on me. But I can only watch things one by one. In fact, in the final analysis, my dream is simpler. I want to live longer, even if I drag my body, I want to see more of this world, see what can be born here, and see what great things I can see."
Ye Tao smiled and said, "It's much more comfortable to say it, although I know you don't really want to say it."
"'I can't tell you my pain, because that is my last strength!'" Tan Weixin quoted a lyric that has been left in her heart for so many years but has not been washed away by the noise of this era.
"For this lyrics, if I say you speak better than you sing, is it considered a compliment?" Ye Tao teased. He knew the lyrics of this lyrics, and knew that the whole song seemed to be chanted, and it seemed to have nothing to do with the song.
"It's really poor." Tan Weixin frowned and asked viciously, "Isn't it from Beijing?"
"No... should we inform each other of their original identities?" Ye Tao suggested.
"No," Tan Weixin shook her head and said, "People focus on living this era. I said, I didn't do well in the past."
Sisi and Qiaoer have privately started to discuss whether Ye Tao could become the son-in-law, while Liu Yong thoroughly inspected the surroundings of the quiet room before Ye Tao arrived every day, so as not to miss it. Then, a table was set up in the courtyard now named Chun Nuanju to read. How the princess and Ye Tao get along seems to be not within the scope of his concern.
When the latest letter sent by Beijing was upgraded from 4oo to 6oo, and authorized Min Yue and Peng Detian to use 6oo, which can only be used to transmit emergency military information in the report on Princess Zhaohua, Min Yue and Peng Detian were a little confused, but they had to wait for further news. Now, the princess' daily life is to hide in Chun Nuanju, enjoying the special side dishes that Ye Tao bought for her from various restaurants and restaurants in Yicheng every day, and then playing chess with Ye Tao, discussing the rules of playing chess, etc. She enjoyed such a peaceful life and the enthusiasm to live such a life. This princess who is in charge of the inner coins and actually has no glamorous appearance and power in her hands at all, but likes this day when she doesn't have to worry about anything, and she opens her mouth and reaches out.
Finally, a few days later, a young man in a Chinese uniform came to Yicheng with a dozen guards. After visiting the governor Peng Detian and the naval admiral Min Yue in a flying manner, the young man rushed to Chun Nuanju without much rest.
In the afternoon, there was a lazy atmosphere everywhere. Two guards sat at the door and looked at the only road leading to Chun Nuanju. In the yard, Liu Yong looked at the book with a glance, only staying at his favorite place for a while. Sisi and Qiaoer usually added tea and slept for two hours, and then added tea to the princess and Ye Tao who were chatting happily, and then gave some snacks. Then, they could play until dinner. Usually, Ye Tao did not stay here for dinner. The princess once retelled Ye Tao's reason. He said that he was embarrassed to eat more when he saw the princess eating so much. He had to eat more every day and had to eat dinner again every day, which seemed a little trouble. This statement made Sisi and Qiaoer smile so hard that they could hardly stand up, while the princess still smiled so faintly that she seemed to have nothing to do with her.
In recent days, since the princess has not gone out much, she has also given off the guards' leave. In addition to those who need to take turns, everyone else can go to Yicheng to play. There are several people who spend a day in Yichang Tower. Yicheng may now be the city with the highest average level of marching chess. There are many experts in Yichang Tower, especially those who will arrange matchmakers with similar strength for these guards, and they always have a great time playing. From time to time, there are masters in Yichang Tower explaining some interesting games, which has benefited a lot from these guards who love marching chess. Perhaps driven by the princess's stability, these guards with sufficient silver in their pockets do not want to return to the capital, which is more frustrating for them.
When they heard the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer along the mountain road, the two guards at Chun Nuanju's door immediately stood up, held their hands on the hilt of the knife, and took their spirits to pay attention to the mountain road. When they watched the group ride horses in front of them and see clearly the face of each person, the two guards were shocked: "I am in charge of the prince!"
Perhaps because he is diligent in training swords and horses on weekdays and is strong, the prince, Tan Weiming, the second son of the Wang family in Dongping, looks older than his sickly sister. At first glance, he thought he was fifteen or sixteen years old, but he could still see a bit of tenderness and youth from his eyebrows.
The prince jumped off the horse, waved his hand, and said, "No gift. Where is my sister?"
The guard quickly said, "Come in the quiet room. Your Highness, let's go here, I will lead you."
The prince hurriedly followed him in without saying much. Liu Yong was a little surprised to see His Royal Highness arrive. He bowed to the prince, and even the ceremony was over. The king of Dongping's family had no airs. According to the corrupt scholars in the court, he was not well educated and neglected in etiquette. He rarely paid attention to etiquette for his subordinates, especially those close ministers in the palace. The prince studied martial arts under Liu Yong's younger brother Liu Meng, who was still his nephew. He had a close relationship and became even more negligent in etiquette.
The prince followed the guard to the door of the quiet room and asked, "Where is Sisi and Qiaoer? Are they not serving in front of their sister?"
The guard's eyes rolled and said with some embarrassment: "Si Si and Qiao'er are probably taking a nap now. This has been the case these days. They don't understand what the princess and Mr. Ye talk about, and they seem to be dozing off in front of them, so the princess simply doesn't want anyone to serve in front of them."
"Mr. Ye? But that Ye Tao, Ye Canghuai?" asked the prince. "Do he come often?"
"It is Ye Tao, Young Master Ye. He comes every day these days. He doesn't come empty-handed every day. He always brings a bunch of famous dishes and dishes in Yicheng for the princess to taste and eat lunch with us guards." Since the prince was inquiring, the guards naturally knew everything and said everything. Seeing the prince nodding, there seemed to be no angry or dissatisfied expression, the guards breathed a sigh of relief.
"You go, I'll go up by myself." The prince waved.
Although there were two other guards at the door of the quiet room, since the prince said so, they bowed and followed the prince's favor.
The prince was only 13 years old no matter what. Although he did look like a young man, he still looked to his sister who always looked to him, the sister who seemed to be unable to do anything, and the sister who saved him. What kind of person is Ye Tao? I have known some of the comments written by Min Yue and Peng Detian on his father's desk these days. His evaluation is quite high, talented, and gentle and magnanimous. If his sister is more accomplicated with Ye Tao, it would not be a problem. Min Yue and Peng Detian might be worried that after spending time together like this, they are afraid that gossip will damage the princess' reputation. Perhaps some people in the court, especially those children in the family who covet the princess' power and status, will quarrel about their identity. But in the eyes of this young and somewhat idealistic prince, these problems do not seem to be the main one.
But what His Royal Highness did not expect was that he originally thought that he would see the two people having a happy conversation without appearing, and what he saw forced him to exclaim: "Sister? What are you doing?"
