The Great Queen Mau Lewat
Chapter 279 Side story (A Guang story)
The days change months and the months change years. Without feeling like it's been running for seven years.
It's a long time for anyone to forget someone.
" Her Majesty the crown prince is great. Thanks to his idea, the trade routes to the outside were more crowded but more organized. "
" You're right. Blessings on the rules of entry and exit. Ships that usually take a lot of time to unload goods. Now less time is spent, so transaction times are much faster. "
" I am glad, that now His Highness the crown prince is not as he used to be who shut himself off from the crowd. Now he is more often petrified in the court of the palace. While the Second Prince, being a general at the border followed in the footsteps of His Highness the emperor first. Wouldn't the Jin kingdom be more prosperous with these two princes. Both the political and the military will be equally strong until I am sure no other country will dare to fight against our kingdom. "
A Guang's praises almost every day could be heard almost in every corner of the palace.
During these seven years, many changes have happened to him. If he had never been in contact with politics and the court. Now he is focused on those two things.
Sima rui was certainly very happy with the change in attitude of his son. The burden of work is reduced a lot and time with ziyan becomes increased.
" What's up? why do you look moody to my wife? " Sima rui hugged ziyan from behind. He had just arrived in the wife's room, but his heart immediately shrank when he found his wife daydreaming again.
Of course Sima rui knows the reason why his wife is moody. Who else if not their biggest bastard, Sima Guang. Made himself suddenly upset and eager to punish his son for making his wife sad.
" I'm just worried about A Guang. "
Correct guess. Sima rui was increasingly convinced to teach his eldest son a lesson.
" Stop thinking about the boy. My heart hurts because you ignored me. " Sima rui hid her face between ziyan's necks. Inhaling deeply the scent of the wife.
" You are this. " Ziyan struck slowly the burly arm that was wrapped around her stomach. " Stop talking nonsense. As a mother it is natural to worry about her. Why do you think I shouldn't worry, while our son is 25 years old yet we haven't found a wife for him. "
Then ziyan started to say thoughts that were bothering her lately. " I'm worried, there's no way that our son isn't a same-sex lover. " Ziyan whispered the last three sentences to Sima rui.
Sima rui pinched ziyan's nose with her index and middle fingers.
" Your imagination is wild my queen. "
Then without warning, sima rui raised the body of ziyan like a bride. " What are you doing! " He can only show his protest with questions.
Sima Rui took his wife to sit on their bed. Then look lovingly at the face of the woman who fills her whole heart.
" Don't think too much. Our son is great. If he still hasn't decided, then let it go. I'm sure he'll find the woman he really loves. So my queen, your job right now is to live well without thinking about the burden of our sons and daughters. Leave everything to me. And focus only on me. "
Ziyan rolled her eyeballs, then chuckled. She covered the face of her husband who was now crouching down below. " I think the main point is the last sentence. You're this yeah. "
Not without reason Sima rui told his wife not to think about their children's problems. Sima Rui had secretly investigated A Guang and Xu xiang's relationship. So he understood and was not too burdened with the decision of his son who did not want to get married.
were it not for her son being too stupid for taking so long to understand his own feelings, then the girl would not have left him.
So from this matter, sima rui could only blame his son.
*********
" Daddy called me? " Sima Guang came to see Sima rui after Eunuch Han came to see him.
" Let's play one round. " Take Sima rui who is still focused on the weiqi board in front of him that he is playing himself.
A Guang glanced at his father's play then sat on the other side.
A Guang obtained a white stone, while Sima rui was black. Game's starting. One by one the stones were placed on the board.
Sima rui did not seem to be holding back his strength. Sima Guang was easily wiped out by him.
" Come one more time. " Tell Sima rui to the son.
And back, Sima Guang was made battered in this game.
" We play again. "
Sima Guang wanted to say but said. He knew that his father's mood was bad so he let his father vent to him.
And the last game this time ended even more horribly. Sima Guang was slaughtered so pitifully.
" You're very weak. "
" I'm not weak. But father is too strong. " Say it while tidying up all the pieces and putting them into place.
" I am strong because I have determination and desire. "
Sima Guang stopped his activities. " I know. Sorry for disappointing you. "
" Do you regret it. " Sima rui looked at her son who was already an adult body.
Sima Guang was silent.
So Sima rui spoke again. " Don't make your mother worry. You know I don't like him thinking about other men. So stop making him keep worrying about you. "
Sima Guang clucked. " Dad, can you not be too cruel. A mother thinks of her son, isn't that normal. "
Really, this father really devoted his life just to make Mom happy.
" You're not a three-year-old child that your mother should always watch out for. Find your own wife so as not to disturb my wife. "
" Dad, you talk like finding a wife is easy like looking for a pebble. "
" It's not easy. You just have to choose one of the women my wife points to. Don't you believe his judgment? "
" I believe that mother's judgment must be good. It's just... " A Guang no longer continued his sentence. The figure still inhabiting his heart suddenly appeared in his mind.
" Because I would have worried my wife, I would have punished you. Go to shu kingdom. You're gonna help the foreign minister make a new partnership with them. "
Sima Guang could not possibly refuse, so he could only accept the punishment. A long journey that will bring him and someone closer.
