Chapter 457 Hello, hey, hey! I'm the Queen Mother. Who are you?
[Real-life version of The Gift of the Magi, hahaha~]
[For a moment, I don’t know what to say? Two idiots~]
[In fact, the anchor should have thought that Qi Changchuan is a love-brained person and doesn't need you to take the initiative at all 0 0]
Shi Li sat quietly in Qi Changchuan's study, looking helplessly at another pot of daffodils in front of the window.
That’s right, the guards at the gate were confused, not because Shi Li came, but because Qi Changchuan had already quietly entered the palace before.
Two people went in different directions.
It's such a sad joke, similar to "The Gift of the Magi".
Shi Li was bored, so he stood up and looked carefully at the daffodils in front of the window.
My eyes fell on the flowerpot and suddenly it looked very familiar.
This seems to be the flowerpot she used to grow daffodils in Shi Mansion. This...
Shi Li was once again impressed by Qi Changchuan's love brain.
[Qi Changchuan... Never mind, let him go dig wild vegetables~]
[Although I am sentimental, I vote for digging wild vegetables! ]
[Two tickets for digging wild vegetables~]
[It’s really hard to imagine how such a person could become the God of War of the Southern Region???]
The barrage questioned Qi Changchuan's ability. Shi Li opened her mouth to "quibble", but found that whatever she said now was a bit powerless.
Because she thought so in her heart, she really couldn't imagine what Qi Changchuan looked like on the battlefield.
They all overlooked one point.
The Qi Changchuan that Shi Li knew and the Qi Changchuan that others met were actually two different people.
The temperature in the study was just right. Shi Li sat on the only chair. The surroundings were filled with a familiar and safe atmosphere. She gradually felt sleepy and drooped her eyelids, feeling drowsy.
But after a while, overly hurried footsteps were heard outside.
I barely raised my head and saw a man walking in from outside.
It seemed to be snowing outside. He was wearing black clothes, but there was a patch of white on his shoulders.
"Why did you come back just now? I'm so bored."
Shi Li felt a little dazed, rubbed her eyes, and her voice was a little soft, just like seven years ago.
Qi Changchuan paused, took two steps closer, lowered his eyes and looked at her silently.
"Are you sleepy? Shall I take you to the guest room to sleep for a while?"
"I'm here to spend the New Year's holiday with you!"
Shi Li shook her head decisively and stood up with all her strength, "Get ready, we'll make dumplings together!"
The Chinese New Year should be celebrated in a festive manner.
Shi Li had already made plans before she came. She wanted to have everything that other families had for the New Year, so that Qi Changchuan could have a good year.
Although in the end, most of the dumplings were made one by one by Qi Changchuan, she was just playing with flour on the side.
However, the most important thing about the Chinese New Year is the atmosphere; the process is actually not very important.
Outside, the sound of firecrackers could be heard continuously.
In the palace, two "left-behind children" huddled together for warmth.
There were only Zhou Chenghao and Zhou Youning sitting in front of the huge table.
Although Zhou Chenghao was an adopted son, he actually had no relatives in his family, otherwise the late emperor would not have chosen him.
Not to mention Zhou Youning, in the past Chinese New Year, only the late Emperor and Shi Li accompanied her.
Now, both of them are gone.
They are obviously the two most noble people in the world, so why do they spend the New Year in such a pitiful way?
In order to relieve the embarrassment, Zhou Chenghao looked at Zhou Youning silently.
"Sister, will the Queen Mother never come back?"
He was really worried. After all, detaining the empress dowager was something that Qi Changchuan would do.
Zhou Youning shook his head decisively.
"will not."
She knows Shi Li and Qi Changchuan better than Zhou Chenghao.
If they were such reckless people, they wouldn't have wasted time until now.
"Do you think Qi Changchuan stayed in the imperial capital just because of Lili?"
Zhou Youning held the wine glass and looked at Zhou Chenghao with disappointment.
Zhou Chenghao didn't dare to speak.
"If you had been more capable, Qi Changchuan wouldn't still be stuck in the imperial capital."
Zhou Youning took a sip of wine calmly.
The new emperor was young, and there were at least eighty people with ulterior motives in the court. However, with Qi Changchuan there to intimidate them, they dared not act rashly.
This is one of the reasons why Qi Changchuan has stayed in the imperial capital.
If the late emperor could have insisted a little longer, he would definitely not have adopted a son, but would have passed the throne to Zhou Youning, whom he had raised with all his heart.
Unfortunately, no if.
The late emperor has not had time to completely control the court. If he goes against the ancestral system and passes the throne to the princess, it will only cause turmoil in the court, and the people will suffer in the end.
From the beginning to the end, all the late emperor wanted was a peaceful and prosperous world.
