Chapter 1343 (Sneaky)
Entering the room, Ye Hua saw his mother sitting on the couch, knitting a sweater.
"The children are all grown up now. The sweaters I used to knit for them don't fit anymore," Le Jing said softly, with a hint of a smile on her lips, looking very gentle.
Ye Hua slowly sat down beside his mother, picked up a sweater. These were all prepared by his mother many years ago for the children, but there had never been a chance to deliver them.
"Ye Hua, now that the children are all grown up, there shouldn't be any lingering grudges between spouses. Qing Ya and the others are also having a hard time. They're so desperate for children. You need to understand them," Le Jing advised.
"And Yutong and Yuqing, they want children but can't have them. As a mother, I can also understand their feelings. In short, a happy family allows one to focus on other things. I can't help you much, and don't feel like I'm nagging you,"
"Mother, I don't find you nagging. It's just that this feeling has faded, and I really don't know how to deal with it," Ye Hua said.
Le Jing put down the sweater, gently held her son's large hand, and said, "Ye Hua, it's not that the feeling has faded. It's just that love has turned into a kind of affection. Look at us, our lifespans are very long. You and Qing Ya and the others are just starting. In the next thousands or tens of thousands of years, you have to handle it well."
Ye Hua sighed deeply after hearing this. Indeed, in terms of lifespan, they had just begun.
Now he felt that the feeling had faded a lot. What about in twenty years? In two hundred years? Two thousand years, or even twenty thousand years!
Could they still maintain that feeling? Ye Hua was starting to doubt it.
Was this whole thing his fault, or were they to blame?
"All right, Ye Hua, go back and rest. You've had too much to drink again, and I'm going to bed too," Le Jing said.
Ye Hua nodded and stood up respectfully. "Mother, I won't disturb your rest."
"Go on. Communicate well. Communication is important between spouses."
"Yeah."
Watching her son leave, Le Jing sighed softly. She could do so little to help.
Exiting his mother's chamber, Ye Hua looked at the vigilant Daji beside him and said softly, "Daji, go and rest."
"Okay, master. You should rest early too."
Ye Hua nodded silently and left the chamber.
Daji watched her master's figure recede, feeling that he was becoming increasingly lonely, which made her feel quite distressed.
She heard that tonight's banquet ended in discord again. How could the mistress treat the master like this? Daji couldn't quite understand.
Ye Hua still didn't return to his chamber, contemplating where to go and visit.
With subordinates who had families, it was better not to visit them, to avoid disturbing them.
As for those without families, there didn't seem to be much to say...
"Ye Yi." Ye Hua suddenly saw a small figure and called out.
"Uncle." Ye Yi immediately stopped in his tracks, turned around, and respectfully called out to Ye Hua.
Ye Hua kept a straight face and asked calmly, "What are you doing wandering around outside at this late hour?"
"Father just came back, and Mother asked me to go out for a walk," Ye Yi replied.
Ye Hua: "..."
These two, enjoying themselves and letting the child come out for a walk. It's beyond belief.
"Where are you planning to go?" Ye Hua asked calmly.
"Planning... planning..."
"Well?"
"Planning to take a walk outside the palace," Ye Yi said obediently.
Ye Hua narrowed his eyes slightly. "Tell me the truth."
"I'm going to hang out with a few friends."
"Friends?"
"Yes, Uncle."
"I happen to be bored, so I'll go see your friends with you."
"Ah!"
"What's wrong? Can't Uncle come?" Ye Hua asked calmly.
"I... I mean, yes, you can."
The more Ye Yi behaved like this, the more curious Ye Hua became. Going out to see friends in the middle of the night? This little rascal was not being honest.
As Ye Yi walked silently ahead, Ye Hua followed behind, smoking a cigarette. His expression gradually changed as he began to wonder what the child was up to, acting so mysteriously.
However, Ye Yi's forehead was already beaded with sweat at this point. He hadn't expected Uncle to be wandering around the palace at this late hour without sleeping.
Ye Hua could sense Ye Yi's unstable breath, becoming even more curious about what he was up to.
What could a twelve-year-old child possibly be doing? Could it be sneaking around to meet girls?
Ye Hua couldn't help but think that there might be some possibility.
Not even grown up yet, and already trying to impress girls? What a character.
The journey was smooth, and the uncle and nephew walked out of the palace like this.
Actually, it's still quite early, but today, the subordinates were all high-spirited and drunk, so they went to rest early.
But for the entire Voidless Empire, this is just the beginning of nightlife.
Believe it or not, in recent years, the nightlife in the Voidless Empire has been quite well-established. With the expansion of the empire, there are more and more districts, so teleportation arrays are used for quick travel.
You can see how much expansion has occurred in recent years.
It can be said that the entire northern region knows that the Voidless Empire is the hegemon of the north, with a scale that surpasses any other kingdom.
Even different races and humans coexist, shocking other empires, especially in the south, where the Voidless Empire has been identified as an unstable factor, bound to be eliminated sooner or later!
As a vast empire, how can there be no nightlife? As the manager within the empire, Kai Yun is quite responsible.
Kai Yun believes that the vitality of an empire is judged by how vibrant its nightlife is.
However, now, if you look down on the entire northern region, you can see that only the Voidless Empire is the brightest star.
Coupled with today's celebration, the entire Voidless Empire is as lively as New Year's, with people filling the streets and even seeing different races mingling in the crowd.
At this moment, Ye Hua is a bit puzzled. When did his territory become like this? No one even told him. Look at these crowds, look at this density. What is Kai Yun planning? Does she want to crush him by putting him here?!
He might think that way, but Ye Hua feels quite comfortable. Originally, this was a lifeless dead city, but through the collaboration of his entire team, it has developed to such a level, which is really good.
At the next commendation ceremony, Kai Yun must be praised properly. The entire team of Nanwu Banner is excellent and worthy of commendation.
Following behind Ye Yi, Ye Hua feels stranger and stranger as they walk. It was indeed a prosperous street just now, but here it becomes plain and even a bit shabby.
But that doesn't stop people from revealing.
There are even stalls on the street, barbecue?
That familiar smell.
Cumin??? Who brought it?
"Wait." Ye Hua called out.
No one recognizes Ye Yi, after all, he hasn't openly appeared before.
"What's wrong, Uncle?"
"Have a drink with me," Ye Hua said softly, walking over to the nearby stall where there's a menu displayed, feeling quite satisfied.
