Long live Emperor Wu!

Chapter 287 You have to remember
Wu Rou stroked the hair hanging on her shoulders, lowered her head and thought, and said:
"Everyone in the world has a prison. Except for those who make a living by traveling around the world, few can see much of the scenery. The world is so big, and some people never leave the village or the county in their entire lives, just living the life in front of them."

Li Shan looked a little surprised and said:

"Why?...No one is stopping me, why don't you look around more?"

Wu Rou looked up, the smile on her lips getting wider. She looked at him as if he were an innocent child, and said with doting, "

"Your Majesty, you have forgotten that traveling costs money. Food, drinks, and hotels on the road all cost money. Without guards, it is easy to encounter dangers, and it is not easy."

Anyway, those who have money don’t have time, and those who have time probably don’t have money. Your Majesty has money, time, and opportunities. Anyway, each of them carries an invisible prison, so there is no need to envy them. "

When Li Shan heard this, he let out a long sigh, crossed his arms and laughed, saying:
"...Although it's a bit unkind, I know that others don't have much freedom, and I feel much better instantly."

Wu Rou glanced at him in surprise:
"That's not what you said."

Li Shan seemed a little ashamed, lowered his eyes slightly and said:

"When I think about having to work so hard all my life, I feel so resentful that it may gradually get worse.

If this situation continues, maybe in less than ten years, I will become a foolish king, ignore the government affairs, and travel around. "

Wu Rou tilted her head and said a little cheekily:
"Don't be afraid. Leave the government affairs to me when the time comes. I'm different from His Majesty. Even if I work hard, I have to hold the power in my own hands to feel at ease."

Li Shan leaned against the carriage and squinted at her. At that moment, his gentle eyes shone with a light of unknown meaning, seeming to be vigilant, thoughtful, and loving. After a while, he calmly He replied:
"It's not a bad idea."

Wu Rou was moved in her heart and her expression froze. Remembering the trace of vigilance and suspicion in his eyes, she said deliberately and casually:
"What? You are obviously afraid that I will seize power..."

Li Shan said directly:

"I did think so just now, but if I think about it carefully, you are not an irresponsible person. As long as you don't use power for personal gain, wouldn't it be better to leave government affairs to those who are willing to do it?

Besides, what are you doing by taking away my power? It's just giving it to the prince. Don't worry, once Hong'er has a foundation, I will become the Supreme Emperor immediately, and you don't need to take it away from me. "

Wu Rou looked at him with a pair of eyes, full of affection, like a pool of spring water, then shook her head, sighed and said:

"Hey... after hearing what you said, I immediately lost my motivation. There's no point in taking it."

Li Shan smiled and said:
"There is no need to take it away, just say it. Remember my words, don't forget them as time goes by."

As he spoke, he turned his head again and looked at the scenery outside the window, as if what he said just now was just letting someone go out, very casually.

Wu Rou looked at his side face, feeling warm in her heart. She gradually got closer to him and sat there affectionately, as if she were naturally close to the stove in winter, full of attachment.

The two of them were next to each other, and Wu Rou slowly rested her head on his shoulder. She didn't know what she was thinking, so she remained silent.

……

In front of the Butokuden Hall in the morning
Li Shan, who had finished dressing up, stood inside the screen with his arms stretched out as the palace maid served him to put on the imperial crown.

The weather is getting warmer, and the sky outside is getting brighter and earlier. After a while, it is already bright.

As soon as he finished tying his belt and turned around, he heard the chamberlain guarding the door outside loudly announcing, "The Queen has arrived," and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

Of course no one will stop her from coming, and she doesn't have to agree to anything else. Wu Rou took several palace servants Shi Shiran into the inner hall, leaving them outside the screen, and entered the space where the emperor wore the crown.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled calmly, and she walked up to them automatically. The female officer who was originally responsible for dressing immediately stepped aside skillfully, bowed her head, and became motionless like a sculpture.

Wu Rou gently picked up the imperial crown in the tray and put it on his head solemnly and dignifiedly. Unexpectedly, she turned around and wanted to yawn, holding back tears that almost fell down.

In the end, Wu Rou couldn't hold it back, turned slightly, covered her mouth with her hands, and yawned firmly.

Seeing her wanting to laugh like this, Li Shan felt a little distressed and said:
"You don't have to rush here every day before going to court. Since you sleep separately, take the opportunity to rest more."

Wu Rou turned around, looked at him with wet eyes and smiled, keeping her hands on her, then tied the belt of his imperial crown and fixed the hat hairpin for him, and said:

"I am willing. When I get busy, I can't see you more than once a day. It would be nice to come and see her in the morning."

Li Shan lowered his head slightly, leaned towards her ear and said:
"Then it's great for you to stay here, but you have to go back."

Wu Rou curled her lips with a smile:
"You can't stick together every day. What a wonderful relationship, but if you get tired of being together every day, you'll get bored."

After hearing this, Li Shan straightened up somewhat speechlessly, looked down at her, and said:
"Who's bored? Are you bored of me?"

Wu Rou looked at his sly smile and seemed to be in a very good mood, so she stretched out his clothes for him.

"Forget it, you are always reasonable. You are always reasonable." Li Shan had no choice but to unfold the sleeves of his wide crown clothes, stretched out his hand to the side, and said:
"Charter of today's business."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two on-duty chamberlains who were standing silently not far away took a few steps forward. One was holding a tray, and the other picked up the memorial in the tray, held it with both hands, put it into Li Shan's hand, and reported :

"Several censors from Shannan Road and Hexi Road were ordered to enter the capital the day before yesterday and submitted memorials to the palace requesting an audience. Will your Majesty see you today?"

"Let them rest in the post house first, and see you again when everyone is here." Li Shan said, unfolding the memorial.

Wu Rou moved a step and stood with him, looking at the schedule above. It was very tight. Even during the usual meal time, she had already arranged to meet the envoys from the foreign countries.

She was immediately discouraged and shouted outside casually:
"Qingjue, bring me my schedule."

Helan Qingjue, who had been standing outside as Wu Rou's maid, heard her body tremble slightly nervously, her eyes lit up, she took the tray from the hand of the maid next to her, and went in holding the memorial book.

She raised her eyes and glanced at the emperor. She saw that the emperor was wearing a royal robe, dignified and majestic. It was the first time she looked at him so close, and she couldn't help but take her breath away. She quickly lowered her head.

Wu Rou raised her hand to pick up the memorial book, unfolded it, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Li Shan. The two of them checked the time on the schedule.

Her schedule is definitely not as busy as the emperor's, but because she has to meet her wife and hold a garden banquet, which takes a long time, she doesn't have much free time at the end of the day.

The two of them checked each other for a long time, but couldn't find a suitable time to meet, and they were both discouraged.

"It seems that we can only meet again when we are sleeping today." Wu Rou murmured, with regret in her voice.

Li Shan smiled, closed the memorial, handed it to the chamberlain next to him, raised his chin slightly, and said:

"Come on, if you don't know, you'd think you care less about me."

After saying that, he put one hand behind his back and walked out majestically, holding the sleeves of his crown gown.
