"Last year, this qie and Qiushui picked the first snow together." Empress Xiande tasted it herself and smiled. "It is very sweet. This year, when it snows in winter, this qie will go pick it again. If Your Majesty likes, you can come and see. "
Emperor Yong Le looked at her and was silent for a moment before saying, "This winter, zhen is still here and will accompany you."
Empress Xiande's hand shook and a large drop of tea fell onto the back of her hand. She hissed in pain.
Emperor Yong Le saw the situation and grabbed a handkerchief from the side. He pulled her hand and wiped it as he scolded, "Why are you so careless?"
But the water did not dry, and instead increased.
Empress Xiande cried.
Her tears also fell onto the back of her hand. They were warm, and seemed to be hotter than the boiling tea. She said, "Your Majesty, why do you say such heart-wrenching words to make this qie sad."
Emperor Yong Le's movements paused and looked at her. "Qing Zhen … …"
"Ever since this qie entered the palace, this position of Empress, I have been very sensible. What I know and what I do not know, I am very clear. Whatever Your Majesty does, this qie will not have any complaints. But even at this stage, does Your Majesty still want to treat me like this? " Her words were all accusations, but her tone was very calm, as though even if she was full of grievances, she could not get angry at Emperor Yong Le. She said, "Your Majesty disdains to coax me, and wants me to stay awake until the last moment. But does Your Majesty not know how painful it is to be awake?"
Emperor Yong Le paused for a long time.
After a long time, he picked up the handkerchief again and wiped the tears on the back of Empress Xiande's hand. He said, "Qing Zhen, other than Imperial Mother, you are the only woman that zhen has let down in this life. You are the only one that can stand by zhen's side. "
"Zhen also knows the feeling of being awake. Zhen has no other choice."
Empress Xiande stared at the flower tea in her cup and said, "Emperor has decided?"
"Zhen has decided. Imperial Mother once said that in the world, there are many heroes. Zhen cannot be a hero, but to be able to support the Great Liang to this state in my lifetime, I am already satisfied with the Lu and Ye families. The rest of the journey was up to Xie Yuan. After that, zhen cannot manage but, "He paused before continuing," zhen still hope that it can be like what mother-empress said, Great Liang prospering, the world clean, the throne of the country lasting for a hundred generations. "
"Qing Zhen," Emperor Yong Le sighed, "We do not know when we will fall, nor do we know when we will wake up again. If that day comes, you must accomplish what I have instructed you to do. After that, you can go and live the life you want to live. Whether you're sober or confused, as long as you're happy. "
Empress Xian De lowered her head and stroked the edge of the teacup. After a long while, she looked at Emperor Yong Le and a slight smile appeared on her face. She said, "Does Your Majesty still remember the scented tea that qie brewed for Your Majesty to drink when we first met?"
At that time, Empress Xiande's mother brought her into the palace to see Empress Dowager Jing Xian. Empress Dowager Jing Xian was originally choosing a wife for Emperor Yong Le. That day, there were also some young ladies from the other officials' families. They were all in the four arts and performed in front of Emperor Yong Le, but it was all for that high and mighty position.
Yet she sat alone at the corner, smiling quietly and looking at everything indifferently, as if she did not care about all of it. No matter if it was the high and mighty Empress position, or the handsome young Emperor, she did not pay any attention to them.
Empress Dowager Jing Xian asked her if she had any talents.
At that time, how did Empress Xiande answer, she said, "This official daughter is slow-witted and do not have any special skills. It is just that when I am at home, I occasionally brew tea for Father and Brother. Father and Brother feel that it is very good."
