Yujian understood everything immediately and took out the tiger talisman from his bosom and handed it to Hua Manxi, saying: “Brother Manxi, this is for you.”
Hua Manxi looked at the hot tiger talisman and immediately regretted why he didn’t leave immediately after dinner. Why did he have to stay in someone else’s house? Look, trouble is coming! It’s not right whether he accepted it or not!
Yujian opened his eyes wide, holding the tiger talisman in both hands, with a look of desolation in his eyes!
This was the first time he saw Yujian in this state.
When Yujian was five years old, the prince and his wife were assassinated on the way to the royal temple. The prince and princess were both his uncle and his aunt. Yujian grew up under the careful care of the emperor grandfather. But he had also seen the hardships of them grandfather and grandson in the past ten years. Yujian did not have a happy and carefree childhood like other children. Instead, because of the environment he was in, he always looked like a little adult. The situation in the court had become worse for grandfather and Yujian in recent years, and their Rongguo Mansion also did not have as smooth a time as it seemed. Under the deliberate suppression of Rui Wang for many years, Rongguo Mansion was just trying its best to protect themselves and some of their power, hoping to help grandfather and Yujian at a critical moment!
But he couldn’t take this tiger talisman. His grandfather had warned them father and son not to take over the military power! Rongguo Mansion had been a civil official for a hundred years, and this was also the way for Rongguo Mansion to survive! Besides, now was not a good time for Duke Rong to step forward. Yujian, Duke Rong’s Mansion will naturally help him, but he had not yet found out the secret of Rui Wang. Yesterday, Yun Qianyu made it certain!
“Yujian, Brother Manxi can’t accept this gift!” Hua Manxi said with a serious expression, without the usual dandy look.
With Hua Manxi’s refusal, Yujian’s eyes immediately showed a layer of gloomy and lost look. He did not take back his hand, but lowered his head, looked at the tiger talisman in his hand, and did not speak for a long time!
Gong Sangmo glanced at Yun Qianyu and continued to drink tea calmly!
Yun Qianyu knew that Yujian must be crying sadly at this time! Lowering his head was just to cover up his fragility at this time! The still weak figure made Yun Qianyu instantly see the figure of her brother in her previous life who was obviously sad but pretended to be strong.
“Yujian, come here!”
When Yujian heard Yun Qianyu’s call, he immediately turned around and ran to her, but he still didn’t raise his head!
Yun Qianyu stood up and gently held him in her arms. Yujian immediately put his arms around Qianyu’s waist and buried his face in Qianyu’s arms.
Qianyu could clearly feel Yujian’s slightly twitching body and the wetness on her chest!
“Men don’t shed tears easily, Yujian, just this once!”
Hua Manxi stared blankly at the two people hugging each other, feeling very complicated. Such comfort should have been given to him by his blood relative, but now he got it from a woman who had no blood relationship with him at all!
This scene was so dazzling!
For the first time, he wondered if his grandfather’s decision was wrong!
At this moment, Gong Sangmo felt that Yujian in Yun Qianyu’s arms was an eyesore! But seeing the loving look in Yun Qianyu’s eyes, he thought about it and resisted the urge to pull the boy out of Yun Qianyu’s arms.
Didn’t she say, just once? Just bear with it!
After a moment, Yujian let go of her hand, raised her head, and her eyes were a little red.
“Royal sister, did Yujian disappoint you?”
Qianyu shook her head and smiled slightly: “No, Yujian is still a child, these burdens are indeed heavy on your shoulders!”
Yujian shook his head and said, “When Brother Sangmo was ten years old, he followed Grandpa Gong to the battlefield to kill the enemy. I want to be a man like Brother Sangmo, so I will never cry again. This is a cowardly act!”
Seeing the extra tenacity in Yujian’s eyes, Qianyu smiled with relief. What else could be more educational than the truth?
When he was five, his parents were assassinated. When he was ten, he had to prepare for his grandfather, his most beloved relative, to leave him at any time. He also had to face the threat of assassination from Rui Wang, his closest relative, at any time! Yujian had experienced the most heartbreaking pain, and nothing could easily hurt Yujian’s heart in the future! It was both pitiful and celebratory. This was the mental journey that a powerful emperor had to go through!
“My sister said that dignity, responsibility, courage, and wisdom are what a real man must possess. Yujian wants to be the man that my sister wants him to be!”
This time, Yujian was determined about this matter from the bottom of his heart.
Qianyu nodded in appreciation. The fact that he could say such words proved that Yujian had grown up.
“Yes, with such awareness, Yujian can be qualified for the position of emperor!” Qianyu rarely made a joke! There was also a happy smile on her face that he had never had before.
The gloomy atmosphere was instantly diluted by Qianyu’s words and smile!
Hua Manxi looked at Qianyu with surprise. She was different from her usual cold beauty. At this moment, she had a warm beauty, just like the smile he could always see on his mother’s face.
Was this the maternal love that was born in women’s bodies?
There was a glimmer of light in Gong Sangmo’s phoenix eyes, and his whole body was warmed up when she smiled! It was a pity that this smile was not for him!
Qianyu saw that Yujian’s mood had calmed down, so she straightened his clothes. Her every move was more like a mother taking care of her son.
Hua Manxi raised his eyebrows, and Gong Sangmo’s eyes darkened!
“To become a qualified emperor, it is not enough to be a man. There is only one emperor, but there are many men. Now there are already three in front of us.” Qianyu pointed at the three people present and said to Yujian.
Yujian’s brows, which had just relaxed, frowned again. He looked at Hua Manxi and Gong Sangmo, and thought to himself: Brother Sangmo is okay, but is Brother Manxi also a man in the heart of the imperial sister?
He suddenly remembered what Qianyu said to him that day: As an emperor of a country, it is far from enough to just be a man, you must also have rich experience, careful thinking, and a generous mind!
Yujian suddenly understood something. He looked up at Qianyu, and the admiration in his eyes became more obvious.
Seeing the look he gave her, Qian Yu asked, “Understand?”
Yujian nodded!
“Then Yujian, can you tell me why your brother Manxi refused the gift you gave him?”
Yujian frowned and turned to look at Hua Manxi, who was also looking at this pair of unusual siblings with great interest! He really wanted to know what kind of outstanding performance Yujian could have under Yun Qianyu’s guidance? Yujian retracted his gaze and looked at the tiger talisman in his hand. His small back straightened up all of a sudden, and his head was raised high! It was as if he was instantly injected with endless power, which could support the country of Nanlou!
This time, there was something more in the look he cast towards Hua Manxi!
