"I've lived most of my life, and I'm not afraid of death."
"I'm just worried that once the old slave and I leave, my young master will be completely alone."
"I'm really worried about being helpless in this world."
"Perhaps when I can see my young master marry a wife and have children, and have his own family background, then maybe I can die in peace."
Seeing the sadness he said, Empress Changsun and Changsun Wuji couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Majesty, it's rare for you master and servant to be so affectionate and righteous."
"Now that you have nothing else to do, you will tell me all about Li Qiu's experiences and stories over the years."
"I'm really curious about this child."
Seeing that Empress Changsun has made such a request, how dare Wang Zhong refuse to obey?
So I started from the beginning and told it slowly.
"I remember that when the master brought the young master back, it was already late autumn."
"During that war-torn era, it was really lucky for this child to survive."
"However, the young master has been very weak since he was a child, and he has to survive no less than three times just for life-and-death serious illnesses."
"Fortunately, for him, the master spared no expense and invited many doctors to treat him."
"The young master's life was full of bumps and bumps, but he finally survived."
"I remember that at that time, the young master didn't go to private school for a few days because he was weak and sick."
"Whenever I go to the doctor for medical treatment, what the young master envies most is that the children beside him are accompanied and taken care of by their mothers."
"As for the young master, the only ones around him are the master and me."
"At this time, I can always see the sensible young master always find a place where no one is around to secretly wipe his tears."
"Even when he was seriously ill, the young master said that his only wish was to die soon."
"That way, he can go to the other side and find his mother."
"By then, he will have a mother just like other children..."
"Later, as the young master grew up day by day, his condition became more and more serious."
"At this time, the young master also became thinner and taciturn."
"But I didn't expect God to open his eyes, just a year ago, the young master's health gradually improved."
"Then the young master's mood is also getting better and better, and then it is today."
"In this world, our master and servant really don't have too many extravagant expectations."
"If you can open a small restaurant, earn a few taels of silver, and be safe, you will be content."
Listening to Wang Zhong's words, especially when hearing about the hardships Li Qiu suffered while growing up, especially when hearing that Li Qiu was envious of other children having mothers who love them.
Empress Changsun was heartbroken, and the tears of sorrow could no longer stop flowing down.
After Changsun Wuji's constant persuasion, it was easy to calm down.
And Changsun Wuji also explained to Wang Zhong.
It is said that the empress is the mother of the world, and she is also the mother of several children. She is kind-hearted and does not want to hear such pitiful stories.
When Li Qiu came back with the food package, it was the time when Empress Changsun had to leave for the palace.
At this moment, Empress Changsun was reluctant to part with her, and the one who looked back after three steps was respectfully sent into the carriage.
Before leaving, she told Li Qiu more than once that she was not very good at using these seasonings and ingredients.
When needed, he might come again, or directly announce him to the palace.
Let him not be afraid and nervous when he arrives.
When the carriage that Empress Changsun was riding in left Li Qiu's yard and she could no longer see the intersection, the sadness in Empress Changsun's heart was completely out of control.
He flung himself on Changsun Wuji's body and burst into tears.
"elder brother……"
"I'm so reluctant, I feel so sorry for Qiu'er..."
"As a mother, why am I so cruel? Why do I let him suffer so much?"
"I didn't do my best!"
Seeing his sister's heartbreak, Changsun Wuji also sighed softly and couldn't stop comforting her.
"Your Majesty, haven't we found Li Qiu now?"
"The suffering that should be suffered is over, and this is the best thing."
"From now on, the empress will also have a lot of opportunities to accompany him, to love him, and to make up for him."
"Also, to take a step back, it may be the trials and tribulations of this kind of life that made Li Qiu such an excellent boy, a rare genius who is rarely seen in a century."
"Your Majesty, let's look at Cheng Qian and Li Tai who grew up in the palace. No matter which one they are, they are far from being comparable to Li Qiu."
"That's simply too much difference."
"Because of this, although His Majesty loves Li Qiu in every possible way, he is more afraid to disclose his identity."
"This child seems to have a magical power."
"Now he is just a small businessman, and Wei Zheng, Wang Gui, Wei Ting, Feng Li and other high-ranking officials have gathered around him inexplicably and unbelievably."
"Just because of such a small restaurant, he has already made good friends with Zhang Yungu, Ying Guogong and other nobles and officials."
"If his prince's identity is revealed, the shock it will cause is really unimaginable."
Chapter 29 Beautiful Xiaowu, Can't Find Her In-Law's Family
While Changsun Wuji was comforting Empress Changsun and analyzing the pros and cons, on the other side of Chang'an City, in Duke Ying's mansion, there was also a sad but interesting scene.
In Cardamom Nianhua, Xiao Wujue, who was only 13 years old, was crying in front of the broken cherry tomato that Li Qiu gave her, and was very sad.
The origin of this tomato is South America, and it was not until 1492 that the adventurer Columbus discovered the New World of America.
In the Tang Dynasty in 627, it naturally never appeared.
For the people here, Li Qiu's holy maiden fruit is naturally an absolute rarity, something that has never been seen before.
That day, after Wu Jue returned to the mansion with the cherry tomatoes, he immediately attracted too many people to watch and watch.
For several days in a row, her girlfriends and friends came to see the news and came to watch.
As for Wu Jue, he naturally regards it as a treasure, and most people just don't want to see it.
I'm afraid it will be damaged a little bit.
In the next few days, Wu Jue kept this cherry tomato as his companion day and night.
Also soak it in very expensive and scarce ice water.
However, even with her meticulous care, this originally bright red, round, mouth-watering cherry tomato still gradually withered and rotted...
This time, it was tantamount to the sudden loss of his most cherished thing, and a deep and heartbroken sadness enveloped Wu Jue's whole body.
In Duke Ying's mansion, when the samurai Xun was still alive, Wu Jue was simply the most beloved person in the mansion.
As soon as she heard her daughter crying, no one could persuade her, so the warrior Xun hurried over.
"Hey, girl, why are you crying so well?"
"Is it your two brothers, or who bullied you?"
"If so, Dad will teach him a lesson for you!"
Wu Jue shook his head with tears in his eyes, "Father, my cherry tomato is rotten..."
At this time, the warrior Xun noticed the broken cherry tomatoes in the jade box on the table in front of him.
Then it dawned on me.
"Hey! Daughter, isn't it just a fruit?"
"Li Qiu must have a lot more. When I get back, Dad will take you there and ask for a few more?"
Who knows, Wu Jue still shook his head sadly.
"Daddy, do you think I will be like this holy maiden fruit?"
"From jewel-like and beautiful, to quickly grow old, ugly, and die?"
Samurai Xun really loves and laughs at his precious daughter whose thinking and ideas are very different from those of other children.
"Wu Jue, how old are you this year?"
"Your future life is long!"
"In the past two years, Dad has found a good house for you."
"Our family, Wu Jue, is about to get married and get married!"
Seeing his father suddenly mentioning marriage, Wu Jue, who had just gotten better, couldn't help feeling sad again.
She threw herself straight into her father's arms and acted like a baby, shaking her head non-stop.
"Father, I don't want to get married, I just want to stay by Daddy's side all the time."
The warrior Xun patted his daughter's head pitifully, and sighed softly.
"My silly girl, Daddy is old and can't be with you forever."
"So before daddy leaves, he must find you a good family who can love you and love you so that he can rest assured..."
Regarding the marriage of his favorite daughter, it is really a heart disease in the heart of the samurai.
As for this Wu Jue, no matter how much he loves him, he is a concubine after all.
If you want to find a well-matched royal family or aristocratic family to be the main wife, it will not work if you are not worthy.
Wronged as a concubine?
Of course he couldn't bear it.
But if he lowered the grade and found some small families, the samurai felt that the other party was not worthy of his side.
And the most important point, as a father, he is very aware that his daughter, who is naturally beautiful and talented, and who can secretly help him with the documents of the Ministry of Industry at the age of 13, has a very high spirit and vision.
It is really too difficult to find a suitable family for her, one that she is satisfied with, and one that can give her happiness.
Afterwards, the samurai Xun helplessly dismissed these troubles, and the doting one wanted to drag Wu Xun to Li Qiu's small restaurant for dinner.
By the way, I want a few more cherry tomatoes to come back.
Unexpectedly, Wu Jue shook his head like a rattle.
"Father, don't go there."
Um?do not go?
Since the last time I went to Li Qiu's place, because many palaces in the imperial city have been in disrepair for a long time, their Ministry of Industry has been busy repairing the leaks.
He couldn't find the time to take Wu Jue to Li Qiuna again.
Although Wu Jue couldn't see anything abnormal, the warrior Xun could still see the faint thoughts in his daughter's heart.
But today is a rare opportunity to take her there, and the daughter actually refused?
Afterwards, the samurai Xun asked the reason from his daughter dumbfounded.
"Daddy, my eyes are swollen from crying now, and my makeup is also worn out."
"It's just because of a broken cherry tomato again."
"If this matter is found out by others, they must laugh at their dead daughter."
"How about... Daddy can take Wu Jue tomorrow."
In this way, on the second day, the warrior Xun brought Wu Jue, and the father and daughter came to Li Qiu's place again.
Seeing the figures of their father and daughter, Li Qiu was a little surprised. To be honest, he was a little surprised.
"Grandpa, Miss Wu Jue, it's been a long time."
