”I am Wei Tengfei's little sister, and my brother is a general of three hundred thousand soldiers.” Siyan looked at his brother proudly, ”It's good enough that I don't bully others.”
”Since you're so incredible, why are you still crying?” Wei Tengfei lightly pinched her cheeks. Even though his little sister was now a noble empress, in his eyes, she was still a child that would never grow up.
”But …” It was actually these words that caused Siyan to feel grief. She immediately buried her face in his brother's chest and sobbed, ”I don't care, I don't want to be separated from you.”
This was his little sister that he had raised. After his mother died, fifteen years later, although he was too busy to take good care of her, his little sister never felt wronged. When she grew up, she would take care of him. With such a young age, she had organized everything in the family. In Wei Tengfei's opinion, it shouldn't be hard for her to take care of the emperor's harem.
It was a pity that they were too far away, and a pity that their military might was too great. At this moment, they were talking about protecting their little sister, and if something really happened, he wouldn't be able to make it in time.
”Everyone in the palace treats me well. You've also seen her before, especially his mother. Every time I speak to her, I feel especially uncomfortable, because I can't help but think that if my mother is still alive, she must be this gentle. My mother-in-law likes me a lot, and so does my grandmother. Everyone likes me. ”
Siyan choked and then forced a smile on her face and said to his brother: ”Really, brother, don't worry.”
Wei Tengfei said: ”The most important thing is whether the Emperor will treat you well. If there comes a day he …” As he said this, he couldn't help but sigh. He couldn't bring himself to say the rest of his words.
Siyan wiped the tears off her face. ”If he treated me badly and I made such a ruckus, she would have crippled me long ago. When you hit me that day, he …
Siyan blushed, but they were after all, the children of generals, and they never squirmed when it came to doing things. She raised her head and said: ”Now that he likes me, I will live a good life with him. Once fate has ended, begging for it will only lead to pain. I don't want to force it, but if I don't have any future, then no one can help me. ”
”Big brother understands.” ”From today onwards, only the Emperor can wipe your tears. The Xiaowan was right, the next time you run, it's also time for the Emperor to come and pick you up, so I don't have to come.”
Siyan purposely said: ”It's better if you don't come, hit me the moment you come. If it wasn't for the fact that Xiaowan gave me some ointment that's extremely effective, and that I went to such a far place yesterday and sat in the carriage, my butt would have been smashed to smithereens.”
Wei Tengfei laughed: ”You're the Queen, you shouldn't be so rude when you speak.” He hugged his sister and kissed her on the forehead. ”Alright, we can't keep the emperor waiting. You still have to say goodbye to Xiaowan, right?”
Siyan nodded, and held her brother's hand as they walked out the door: ”I really want to bring Xiaowan with me, even the Emperor has said that it would be good if she could go to the capital to be my companion, but Xiaowan is very happy here, she is here, I still have a place to stay after leaving the palace.”
Wei Tengfei hurriedly said: ”Don't always think about running out, don't think that I really won't dare to hit you again.
Siyan unhappily made a face at her brother. breakfast was already prepared downstairs, but Siyan was not in a hurry to eat it, she followed Xiaowan to the kitchen, asked for hot water to wash his face, and then casually smeared some makeup on his face. The two of them chatted and laughed until her wife came to urge them to go eat breakfast.
After breakfast, they would go to the dock to board the ship. Ling Chaofeng brought Xiaowan along to send them off, and then the group arrived at Baisha River Pier. The beautiful and grand boat was already stopped by the river side, with many more guards and palace guards added.
Xiaowan filled a bag of green bean cake and gave it to Siyan. It was reluctant to part with it, and without saying a word, its eyes turned red.
On the other hand, the emperor said gently, ”Xiaowan, come and play in the capital and have the Empress entertain you. ”In the future, I don't know when the empress and I will pass by again, but you have to treat them well.”
Xiaowan nodded her head vigorously. ”Your Majesty must come.”
Xiang Run supported his wife as they slowly walked up the gangplank. When they reached the boat, the guards at the back of the palace followed and most of them boarded the small boat at the back.
Soon, the anchor was set off and the boat moved further and further away. The empress waved her handkerchief with all her might, her voice echoing through the wind. ”Brother, you have to take care of yourself …”
Wei Tengfei waved his hand stiffly. His other hand was clenched into a fist and the veins on the back of his hand bulged. It was obvious that he was trying very hard to suppress his trembling.
”Hubby …” The scene of these siblings leaving made her heart ache. She and Siyan had long become good friends, and she couldn't help but cry in Ling Chaofeng's arms.
Not long after, the large ship disappeared from the Baisha River.
Wei Tengfei calmed down and saw that Xiaowan was crying while hugging her husband. He couldn't help but laugh and met eyes with Ling Chaofeng so he said: ”I will be troubling you for a few days, it's time for me to leave. I am a coarse man who does not understand the ways of the world, but I must understand it now.
