That year, a young man climbed over the wall and broke into Qi Jun's sight, and gave him a plum blossom as a gift.
He said, "May the broken plum blossoms last long and give you a branch of spring. May I be like a plum branch, long-lasting and protecting people in the cold years."
Since then, Pei Zhiyuan has become the most vivid color in Qi Jun's sickly childhood.
Later, they made a lifelong promise on a deserted snowy night.
Even when his father asked about his cousin's name, Qi Jun said without hesitation, "Chang Yi."
But when Pei Zhiyuan went to the front line, everything was different when he came back.
The Qi family has always been a party of three princes, while the Pei family is a staunch princeling.
Master Qi died of illness, and Qi Jun had to support the Qi family, and the prince had the kindness to know and meet Pei Zhiyuan.
They went from being childhood sweethearts to political enemies destined to confront each other.
The two were at odds with each other in the court. He criticized him for spending too much on military spending, and he criticized him for having too broad-minded political views...
Finally, the prince succeeded to the throne, the third prince was exiled, and Qi Jun was demoted.
He knew that the emperor had already known about his relationship with Pei Zhiyuan, and he was only retained to check and balance Pei Zhiyuan.
On the day when the serious illness recurred, Qi Jun retreated from everyone and walked into the snowy night alone, looking at the plum tree.
"Pei Zhiyuan, this time... I can finally choose for myself."
Not the son of the Qi family, not the third prince's adviser, not the new emperor's pawn.
It's just Qi Jun, your Chang Yi.
History books only record that Qi Jun, the minister of Guanglu Temple, was involved in party disputes, was demoted, and died in depression.
