The reason why Siyan went upstairs with Xiaowan was to invite her to help him with the ointment. They were already married at the same age, and had even bathed together in the bathroom, so naturally they wouldn't be so bashful and bashful.
Xiaowan gently helped her pack up. After a night passed, the whip marks had disappeared, but there was still a large patch of black and blue on the white flesh.
”Empress, did you and the emperor make up last night?” Xiaowan asked.
”I don't know. He said a lot of things last night. I still haven't come to my senses.” Siyan laid on her pillow and muttered softly, ”However, this is the first time he has said so much to me since we were married. Actually, it's not easy to be an emperor. There are always people by our side. We rarely get to be together, eat and live alone, and have no freedom at all. It's not convenient for us to talk when we want to. ”
Xiaowan smiled foolishly, ”Your majesty looks like a god, but up till now, I still haven't been able to look at it carefully.”
Siyan said: ”Nothing much, just like us, a head and two hands.”
”That's different. He's the emperor, the ruler of a nation.” The Xiaowan said.
Siyan straightened her body and asked: ”Then I'm still the Queen, what do you think of me?”
The Xiaowan tensed up and hurriedly stood up, respectfully saying, ”When I met the Empress, I didn't know anything, and then, and then … Say it yourself. Don't think of you as a queen. ”
”My brother must have told him that I'm a child that couldn't grow up,” Siyan said as she laid down on the ground again.
Xiaowan laughed: ”General Wei told me the same thing.”
”See …” Wei Tengfei, that person, is already thirty years old and not young. He will not be able to live without a wife. ” Siyan said as she choked with emotions, ”How can I be at ease with him alone? When we're training, he doesn't rest at all times, and his stomach is always aching, so he won't take care of himself.”
In the Empress's eyes, General Wei was both a brother and a father. His brother was her heaven and she was the only one who could take care of his brother.
”Xiaowan, do you have brothers and sisters?” Siyan asked.
”Two half-brothers and sisters.” Xiaowan replied.
”Your family …” Siyan asked, ”Is it your father's concubine or stepmother?”
The Xiaowan did not tell the empress about his background, and now that he did, he talked about it a little. Naturally, he did not complain about how he had been treated, but laughed and said, ”We aren't very close, but we came to the tavern and treated Ershan as our big brother. We care about him a lot now. The Empress dotes on her brother, so I understand. ”
Siyan was very pleased and laughed: ”No matter what, Manager Ling loves you. I saw you two talking downstairs that day, and in Manager Ling's eyes, you are like pearls and jade. He really dotes on you.”
Xiaowan's face was flushed red, she lowered her eyes and said: ”You must be ashamed. Actually he always bullies me, relying on her big stature.”
Siyan calmed down and laid on her pillow, thinking back to the conversation she had with Xiang Run last night.
It had already been more than two months, but it was the first time he had looked at her in such a way. He looked at her with a smile that was not a smile yet was filled with anger.
Could she believe it? But she understood that Xiang Run was tolerant of her.
”Xiaowan, tell me, how could there be a Queen like me in this world? A person like me being crippled would also be well-deserved.” Siyan said, ”I do regret it. If I run out like this, I will definitely cause trouble for brother, and anger the emperor as well. The emperor and emperor are still in the capital, and they must feel confused.
Xiaowan squatted down and looked at her from beside the bed.
Siyan choked with emotions: ”But I can't accept it, I just want to, even if it's just once, to come and eat this green bean cake that I want to eat, for the rest of my life, I won't live this life for nothing. For Big Brother, for the great army of Chuanyu, I am willing. ”
Xiaowan said, ”You're the Empress.”
Siyan did not understand the meaning behind her words and said with a sigh, ”That's right.”
The Xiaowan shook her head and said, ”Empress, what I mean is, like me, Susu who came to eat together with us yesterday, Mrs. Sun who came to our store, Miss Meng, and many other girls in the world, our lives are mostly not ours. But you are now the Empress, the woman with the most respected Daqi. Perhaps you are the only one whose life truly is yours, and can live as you wish. My husband said that he hoped that I could live well for my own sake. Empress, you should do the same, right? ”
Siyan stared at her blankly. Last night, the Emperor had told her that under the rivers and mountains, under the heavens, and as a citizen, with a thousand kilograms on him, could he still live as he wished?
Xiaowan held her cheek and said, ”I am different from the Empress. My life was not good in the past, and no one loves me because of that. When I married my husband, I felt that I had been reborn, so until I died, I wouldn't let myself suffer any more. I want to live well for girls whose lives are not their own. ”
Siyan said guiltily: ”You are really amazing, I have never thought about this before. In the past, I only wanted to take care of my brother, but now, you have suddenly pushed me to the heart of the struggle, I just want to run.”
Xiaowan laughed, ”Empress, I ran off on the first day I entered the room. I was caught by Ling Chaofeng.”
