C138 (1/2)
Wei Tengfei quietly went around the crowd and moved behind Xiaowan, asking her softly: ”What are you looking at?”
The voice came from behind, the Xiaowan was in a daze as she looked at him.
Wei Tengfei's expression became gloomy, and he asked again: Are you looking at the Emperor?
”Your majesty? What do I think he's doing? ” The Xiaowan asked.
Seeing that her eyes didn't have any light in them, but they were extremely clean and didn't contain any resentment, Wei Tengfei heaved a sigh of relief.
”Sorry, I was thinking too much.” Wei Tengfei said, ”When the feast is over, I will send you back to the inn.”
He looked down and saw Little Pei looking at him, the little guy's chubby face had a kind smile, he could not help but squat down, and said to Little Pei: ”It's good to ride on Uncle's shoulder, this way we can see it more clearly.”
Little Pei obediently looked at his mother, asking for her permission. Xiaowan then remembered how Ling Chaofeng once carried his son on his shoulder.
Her smile was right in front of her eyes, but it was a matter of life and death. Her heart was filled with intense pain, she shook her head, pulled her son close to her body, and said to Wei Tengfei in a gentle tone, ”There are many rules in the palace, I have been extremely nervous this day. General see, everyone else has been very well-behaved, how can I let Little Pei ride on your shoulder?
Wei Tengfei did not force them and smiled: ”I'll wait for you outside the palace, I'll send you guys back to the inn.”
In another place, Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi was currently staring at them with a pair of children. Not only him, but other people who desired to marry their daughter into the General's Estate noticed that Wei Tengfei was speaking intimately with a plain-clothed young lady.
Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi already knew from his children that this woman was Ling Yu's sister-in-law and was's wife. And not long after Ling Chaofeng passed away, she was now a widow.
”I've seen Wei Tengfei entering and exiting their inn many times.” Hanxi said to her brother, ”He must be an old friend of Madam Ling.”
Bi Zhenye pondered for a moment, not sure if he wanted to console his sister, but he replied: ”Maybe I'm old friends with Ling Chaofeng, and take care of the widow for my friend.”
Everyone could tell that the way Wei Tengfei looked at the Xiaowan was different from the others. Even the Queen believed the Emperor's words.
But her brother had never revealed it to her. What would she do if her brother asked her for help? The Xiaowan loved the Manager Ling so much, he was afraid that he would never be able to accept anyone else in his life.
With a soft sigh from the empress, a final firework flew into the night sky, illuminating the entire palace.
Little Pei seemed to intentionally guide his mother to look upwards. The shining side was precisely the Announcement Hall, and above the overhanging eaves was the mighty and domineering divine beast.
Xiaowan's heart suddenly trembled. However, no matter how smart or intelligent she was, she never expected that at this very moment, her husband was trapped inside this statue of the God Beast.
Ling Chaofeng had already left and returned to the roof of the Announcement Hall. In his eyes, he saw Wei Tengfei and Xiaowan standing side by side.
Wei Tengfei was tall and powerful, he looked even more petite and weak compared to before. There was a reliable man standing by his side, but she looked lonely.
Ling Chaofeng's heart ached faintly, as though he was still alive. In the past ten million years, he had never known what it felt like to be heartbroken.
After the fireworks, the empress returned to the great hall hand in hand. All of the officials and women returned one after another.
Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi brought Bi Hanxi and walked up, finally finding the chance to start a conversation with him.
Hanxi was gentle and courteous, her slim body supporting her complicated and beautiful dress. She lowered her gaze and stood obediently in front of everyone.
Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi introduced to Wei Tengfei with a smile: ”General Wei, this is my daughter, Hanxi, and my son, Zhenye.”
The Xiaowan led Little Pei and bowed to everyone, then followed the crowd and walked inside. There was someone specially bringing her to the empress's side, so that she would not be alarmed at such a big occasion.
Bi Zhenye saw Wei Tengfei's gaze and followed Xiaowan. Although he was not married, he knew what was love meant. It was obvious that General Wei was concerned about him.
”Greetings, General.”
The brother and sister duo bowed towards Wei Tengfei, only then did he turn his gaze back, only to see Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi pushing his son away, seemingly pushing his daughter in front of him on purpose, so that he could clearly see the young miss's face.
The prime minister should have been high and mighty, looking down on all the men in the world and not worthy of his daughter. But now that he had fallen to such a state, he couldn't wait to send his daughter out.
In Wei Tengfei's eyes, even though Xiang Run was young, he seemed like a born emperor, and he was even more daring than his father.
It was not because he loved the house, but because his sister only saw the emperor. In Wei Tengfei's opinion, as the emperor, Xiang Run had the wrist to the point, but his heart was not strong enough.
