Li Qinghuan

General He looked at his grandson and became more and more satisfied: "Ah Li has grown up."

He Li was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "A Li will always be a child with grandfather."

General He smiled until the wrinkles around his eyes bloomed: "You are the best at talking."

He Li smiled faintly, General He thought for a while and said, "If I don't come back by this time next year, remember to visit your mother's grave."

He Li: "I will never forget, grandfather."

Old General He nodded: "Okay, then you guys go back first, the emperor is expected to come later, don't let him run into him."

He Li nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Grandfather, Ah Li will leave."

General He: "Go."

Before taking two steps, Old General He stopped them again, but this time he didn't say to He Li: "Ji Qing, there is only one junior in my He family, you must protect him."

Ji Qing turned around, folded his fists and bowed: "Don't worry, Grandpa, I will definitely protect Ah Li."

Old General He nodded, and said again: "Not only do you need to protect him, but you also need to respect and love him. If you dare to let him down, my Red Wing Army's [-] soldiers will come to settle accounts with you!"

Ji Qing couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and then said seriously: "Grandpa, please rest assured."

He Li blushed: "Grandfather, what are you talking about? It's like marrying a daughter."

Old General He waved his hand: "Aren't I going to leave and worry about you? Just leave you to this kid, I don't need to say a few more words."

He Li rubbed his forehead, not knowing what to do.

Old General He's voice weakened, with some melancholy: "Your grandmother left early, and I raised your mother alone, holding the treasure in my hand. Once married into the deep palace as a hostage, I will live a miserable life. He Huai Zhou Rongma spent most of his life, the only regret is your mother, I don’t ask for any inheritance, I just hope you can be safe and happy, your mother told me when talking about you, against the secular love of nature It’s already not easy, so I don’t have to stop it any more.”

That's right, both of them are men, and it's not easy to love each other against the world, so how could they stop them.

Old General He sighed and looked at the tombstone: "It's just a pity that I caused your mother to marry into the family of the ruthless emperor, and I failed to let her grow old with the one she loves."

After He Li listened, he was silent for a long time, and replied: "You can't be in the same bed in life, but it is good to be in the same acupuncture point in death."

Old General He smiled: "Well said, that's enough, you guys go quickly, or you will bump into the emperor later."

He Li nodded: "Grandfather, take care."

General He waved his hand and said loudly, "Go, go."

He Li didn't stop any longer, and pulled Ji Qing away from the He Family Tomb. When he reached the exit, He Li looked back.

Old General He stood in the early morning of late autumn, his gray hair swaying gently in the wind, he looked much older, he was no longer the tall, mighty, heroic general in He Li's memory.

He Li wrapped his cloak tightly, returned to the General's Mansion, and slipped out through the side door.As for why he didn't go through the main entrance... a red-winged soldier came to report in a hurry as soon as he reached the front yard, saying that Song Duan was about to arrive at the general's mansion.

If he couldn't provoke him, he could hide, so he quickly dragged Ji Qing out of the side door.

After leaving the alley of the General's Mansion, He Li breathed a sigh of relief. Standing at the entrance of the alley, He Li turned his head and saw Song Duan getting off the dragon chariot from a distance.

Ji Qing accompanied him by his side. After a while, he hugged his shoulders and said softly, "A Li, let's go."

He Li withdrew his gaze, nodded and turned around: "He Ming, why do you think my brother chose to move his biological mother's tomb today, and he didn't even want to come to see his mother for the last burial today."

Ji Qing thought for a while and said, "Isn't it just right that he doesn't come? If he comes, you won't be able to come."

He Li nodded: "That's right, but I still can't figure out why he insisted on moving the tomb today."

Ji Qing thought for a moment, and said truthfully: "Song Duan is narrow-minded, extremely jealous, and as the king of a country, he has a good face. As far as I know, his biological mother is just a dowry maid of the Empress Dowager He. On the day of Empress Dowager He's burial, Empress Dowager He was not buried in the imperial mausoleum. He specially chose today as the date for moving the tomb. People recognize it. After all, time has passed, and no one cares about the bad things of the first emperor. Now, as long as he finds a decent reason, no one will check and study. If the Empress Dowager He is not buried in the imperial tomb, she cannot be regarded as a member of the Song family after her death. People. According to the etiquette of the Wei royal family, the position of the middle palace is indispensable, and it is the same after death. In a sense, if it is chosen today, the position of the middle palace of Empress Dowager He will be abolished."

He Li wondered: "So that's the case, but what does this have to do with his narrow-mindedness and good face?"

Ji Qing spoke in an unhurried manner, and continued after a pause: "Because of his narrow-mindedness and good face, he can't allow people of nobler blood than him to exist. You are the son of the empress who was married by Emperor Wanxi, Now that he has been demoted to a common man, he doesn't need to be afraid of you anymore, but he is a sin that the late emperor did not want to admit. This is a thorn in his heart for him. Today, he moved his biological mother to Entering the imperial mausoleum and posthumously conferring the title of empress dowager is announcing to the world that he is of the orthodox royal blood and the sole heir to the throne."

He Li said sullenly: "Is this throne really so fascinating?"

Ji Qing smiled slightly: "For sentient people, the most fascinating thing is love; for ruthless people, the most fascinating thing is power."

He Li asked: "What is a loving person? What is a heartless person?"

Ji Qingdao: "The boundary between sentient and merciless has not been defined since ancient times. If you think you are a sentient person, then you are."

He Li stopped and looked straight at him: "What about you? Are you a loving person or a heartless person?"

Ji Qing also stopped, and replied seriously: "I am a person with love."

He Li: "Since there is no clear boundary between being sentient and being sentient, then why do you say you are a sentient being?"

Ji Qing said without hesitation: "Because in my heart, you are the most important."

He Li was a little angry: "We've only known each other for less than a year, and you can be sure that I'm the most important thing in your heart, so isn't this 'important' a bit too hasty?"

Ji Qing: "A Li, do you want to confirm something?"

He Li turned his head and said decisively: "No."

Ji Qing looked into his eyes: "Do you know that you have never been good at lying."

He Li: "I don't know."

Ji Qing was choked by him, paused, and stopped pressing: "A Li, we have known each other for more than a year. I have seen you a long time ago."

He Li suddenly raised his head, staring at Ji Qing's face closely, for fear of missing any of his expressions.

Ji Qing: "Do you still remember the bunch of candied haws you gave out when you were a child?"

He Li frowned, searched carefully in memory, and suddenly remembered the childhood dream he had a few days ago: "Are you that child?"

Ji Qing closed his eyes and nodded: "I am, do you remember?"

He Li couldn't believe it: "How, how is it possible, don't lie to me."

Ji Qing: "What did I lie to you for?"

He Li: "No, it's impossible. It's been so many years, how could you recognize me?"

Ji Qing looked at him: "Don't you recognize me?"

He Li: "I recognize it, but, but it's been so many years, how could you recognize me?"

Ji Qing sighed: "When I met you in Yinchun Tower, I just thought it looked familiar, but I didn't recognize it. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. I didn't expect you to ride a horse and plunge into my lotus pond the next day."

He Li: "And then? You recognize me now?"

Ji Qing shook his head: "No, you changed your body and dropped your clothes in the bamboo forest, and you wrapped that Moyu Pixiu inside."

Only then did He Li understand after hearing this: "Then you also remembered my jade pendant first?"

Ji Qing: "You are the first to remember, and the jade pendant is the first to recognize."

He Li asked again: "How can you be sure that the Moyu Pixiu is the same one? Are you not afraid to admit your mistake?"

Ji Qing smiled: "Why are you not afraid, so I went to find someone and approached you after confirming that it was correct."

He Li: "Who did you go to find?"

Ji Qing: "The senior I mentioned to you before. If you want, I will take you to see her in a few days."

He Li nodded: "Okay."

Ji Qing bent down slightly, eyes level with He Li: "Ah Li, I am not a heartless person."

He Li said seriously: "We...is this fate?"

Ji Qing nodded, and said earnestly: "Well, there are always some people who are the most important thing in my heart when I first meet them, for example, you are in my heart."

He Li lowered his head: "He Ming, don't blame me."

Ji Qing: "What do I blame you for?"

He Li was a little annoyed: "I'm usually not the kind of person who makes trouble without reason, I'm just afraid."

Ji Qing smiled and straightened up: "You are here with me, so don't worry about gains and losses."

He Li nodded, always felt that there are some things that should be said in the open, and it would be much easier to say them.He is not a person who likes to think too much, he has been since he was a child, but the successive changes made him feel a little unrealistic and uneasy.At times like this, it would be much better to have someone to accompany her. It used to be Niangqin, but now it is Ji Qing.

Ji Qing gently embraced his shoulder: "A Li, don't think about it, let's go home."

When He Li heard Ji Qing calling him home, he suddenly became a little dazed, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was Jinxi or Xixi: "Go home?"

Ji Qing: "Let's go home."

He Li nodded: "Okay, let's go home."

In a daze, He Li suddenly remembered that before he passed out in front of the Ji Mansion that day, he said to Ji Qing that he had no home. He didn't understand how Ji Qing responded at that time, but at this moment The words gradually became clear in his mind, and he heard Ji Qing say: "With me, you have a home."

Gradually, He Li's eyes became moist again, his vision gradually blurred, and he repeated: "Let's go home."

No matter how dangerous the world is, there is always a place where he can let go of all his guard, that is home.

It was already daylight, and the city of Yudu City gradually became lively. The early morning vendors on the side of the road were yelling hard: "Steamed buns! Steaming steamed buns! Guest officer, do you want two buns!"

He Li took a deep breath of the fresh morning air, regained his energy, and felt that he was slowly coming back to life.

"Heming, I want to eat buns."

"Is that Baozi at home who can run, jump and talk?"

"Oh no, it's the steaming bun by the roadside."

"okay."
