The corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, as if he was in a good mood. I wonder if he had dreamed of something happy in his sleep? At this time, he was innocent and harmless, as peaceful as a child. He was completely different from the majestic and domineering emperor in the hall during the day.

He wanted to kiss him gently like he did, but he was afraid that he would wake him up.

Pull up the quilt and be careful not to make a sound.

He got out of bed with his clothes and walked to the desk. He was afraid of disturbing him, so he didn't dare to light more candles. He just took a little candlelight, picked up paper and pen, and started writing.

Fortunately, she had practiced calligraphy before, and was not unfamiliar with the brush calligraphy of this dynasty. She had a look of elegant small regular script. The faint fragrance of ink was all about business philosophy that she remembered in her mind, and some of her own ideas. Because it was based on the style of this era, some ideas could not be moved over. They should be properly neutralized so that they would be more suitable for the development of this dynasty.

Just like this, she grinded and wrote alone until the fourth day of the morning, and felt her arms numb and her neck stiff. She complained in her heart that the brushes of this era were really difficult to use. If she couldn't write three words, she had to dip them in ink, and if she couldn't write many words, she would take up the full amount of them. If she could, the first thing she had to create was a hard pen, even a pencil, at least she didn't have to work so hard.

While complaining, Chu Xia completed her plan. Seeing that it was getting late, Jing Yuan was almost time for the morning court. So he hurriedly packed up and climbed into bed to sleep without knowing it.

Maybe he was sleepy and tired, and Chu Xia quickly fell asleep after going to bed. At this time, Jing Yuan woke up habitually, looked at the sleeping woman beside him and smiled with peace of mind.

Every day when you open your eyes, you can see her at first sight, which is his greatest wish.caset

They stood up quietly, afraid of waking up the beauty in their sleep. Jin Fu and the others were guarding outside, holding their dragon robe and toiletries in their hands, waiting respectfully for the wait.

After the morning court, Jing Yuan couldn't wait to return to Huanyi Palace and have breakfast with Chu Xia. He thought to himself, that lazy man, don't know if he got up?

Jin Fu, who had just stepped out of the Golden Palace and was waiting beside him, hurried forward and bowed to report: "Emperor, the concubine said she wanted to go to the Taimiao to pray for you and the Empress, and she was about to set off. She just sent someone to report that you are busy with state affairs and don't need to send it."

Jing Yuan's phoenix eyes frowned, and the steps that were originally heading towards Huanyi Palace, paused slightly, and turned toward Wanshou Palace.

If the concubine did not celebrate the holidays with him, she helped him a lot. She had followed her father for the rest of her life, and had not received his love, and she didn't even have a son or half of her daughter. It was really pitiful. Now she was praying for him and Chu Xia again, how could he turn a blind eye? So, he should give it to him, whether it is etiquette or morality.

Jin Fu looked at the emperor and went to Wanshou Palace, glanced at the direction of Huanyi Palace, and hurriedly followed.

"I heard that the concubine was going to the Taimiao to pray for blessings. It was really hard to get along the way. The concubine must take care of her." Jing Yuan felt that when the Wanshou Palace, the concubine had prepared everything. There was not a luxurious carriage outside the palace gate. The salute seemed to have been brought into the car.

Supported by two palace maids, the concubine was about to get on the car. Seeing the emperor coming, she stopped, smiled slightly, and said gently: "Thank you for your concern, everything is ready. In fact, the Ai family has long thought of living in Taimiao for a while. First, she can pray for you and the people of the world, and second, she can also purify her and cultivate her character. However, the emperor's harem has always been unowned, and the Ai family is not at ease. Now the emperor is about to get married, and the Ai family has nothing to worry about. It is just right to take this opportunity to live in Taimiao for a few more days. The emperor should take care of himself. No matter how busy the state affairs are, you should pay attention to your health."

Hearing these words, Jing Yuan suddenly felt a kind of intimacy. Perhaps every woman has a kind of maternal glory, right? Especially for the children of her lover, just like her own children.

Thinking of the fact that he had not enjoyed the warmth of family affection for so many years, although he was conferred a title, he was just a title. He never had ever accepted that she was a relative or a family member. Or maybe because Chu Xia came, his sleeping heart was awakened and he also felt for the people around him.

My heart softened, my thin lips pursed slightly, and I replied softly: "Yes, I remember, I hope the concubine can live happily, but I still hope that when I and Chu Xia's wedding, the concubine can come back and have a cup of wife's tea."

The concubine was stunned and a little surprised flashed in her eyes. She couldn't say whether she should be happy or worried. The emperor said that she would drink her daughter-in-law's tea meant that she was willing to accept her as her family and replace her mother's place? But she couldn't wait. If he knew the truth, he would probably be disappointed with her, and might even hate her.

He couldn't help but glance at the carriage, then he retracted his mind and sighed slightly, saying that good things would hurt each other, and he didn't know if this pair of enemies could finally get together.

"Thank you, the emperor, if you can, the Ai family will definitely come back to drink this cup of tea." The concubine bent over and gave a courtesy to the emperor and his ministers, and his eyes drooped to cover the depression. "The concubine doesn't have to be too polite, I will help you get into the car." Jing Yuan stretched out his hand and took the initiative to support the concubine's arm, helped her walk towards the carriage, and said to Jin Fu behind him: "Let Thunder send more imperial guards to escort the concubine, and there must be no mistakes on the road."

"Yes, I'll go now." Jin Fu Shili turned around and left.

The concubine didn't expect that the emperor would suddenly be so considerate to her, which really made her flattered, and at the same time she felt that she had no blessings to be relieved. Before getting on the car, she looked at the emperor and wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say. She hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Your Majesty, fate is blessing, fate is fate, follow the circumstances, don't force it."

Jing Yuan felt that the concubine's words seemed to contain some meaning, but he couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he could only nod and agreed.

The two of them made a few more polite words before the carriage slowly left Wanshou Palace and headed towards the gate of the palace.

Seeing the carriage gradually disappearing from sight, I didn't come back to my senses for a long time, and I don't know why I felt a sense of loss in my heart.

When did you become so sentimental? It must be because of Chu Xia. Since she came back, he has become much more sensitive than in the past.

Thinking of the quirky woman, my heart suddenly felt warm and turned around and strode towards the direction of Huanyi Palace.

"See the Emperor." Xiao Dezi and Chuntao Qiuju were guarding outside the door. When they saw the emperor coming, they hurriedly knelt down to pay their respects.

"Are you up?" Seeing them, Jing Yuan frowned slightly. At this time, they should be serving inside, but why are they standing outside? They are a little confused.

"Your Majesty, the Empress hasn't gotten up yet? I just said that no one is allowed to disturb her. If anyone dares to quarrel with her Qingmeng, who will she be anxious?" Xiao Dezi stood up and answered respectfully.

It was indeed her style, "Isn't even allowed me?" Jing Yuan was displeased, but he still was afraid of disturbing her, so he asked in a low voice.

Little sweat broke out from Xiao Dezi's head, and he didn't dare to wipe it. He replied tremblingly: "That's what the Empress said."

The two girls also lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the emperor's face. They thought that their master was increasingly taking the emperor seriously.

Jing Yuan's lips were pursed into a line, and his face was a little unhappy, but he thought that this girl might have slept late last night, so she is sleeping now. She is about to get married. If she is busy at that time, I'm afraid she can't sleep well even if she wants to. Why don't you let her sleep be enough now?

So his face calmed down and he ordered them to be careful to serve him. When the Empress woke up, she hurried to report, and then turned to the Imperial Study Room.

At this time, outside the palace, the concubine's carriage was parked on the side of the road, and all the guards avoided the side.

A woman in the carriage voice sounded a little regretful: "You really decided? Don't you regret it?"

The woman sitting at the other end of the carriage seemed to have disappeared from the bright light of the past in her clear water eyes, and she felt a little more gloomy.

"I have no choice." This is not something she can choose. The days of going back are approaching day by day, and it is a matter of time before leaving. Do you cry and cry when facing the separation of life and death like this?

The concubine sighed and took out a purse from her sleeve, "There are some broken silver and a few silver notes here, which is convenient for you to carry with you."

Chu Xia was moved, but he didn't answer, "No need for the concubine, I can't stay here for many days, and I won't be able to use it soon."

Although she still couldn't see clearly about this woman, she was like a cloud of fog, but she felt more and more in her heart.

"Hold it, as long as you are here for a day, you can't live without these things. You're always prepared for any reason." As he said that, he forced his purse into Chu Xia's hand and then reminded him, "If possible, the Ai family still hopes to see you and the emperor's lover finally get married."

Chu Xia smiled bitterly and did not refuse to take the silver. "Thank you, concubine, Chu Xia appreciates your kindness, let's part here? If you have the chance to see him again, I'll say sorry to him for me. Chu Xia has let him down in this life. If there is a next life, he will definitely repay it."

After saying that, he jumped out of the carriage and hurried away.

The concubine could only look at her leaving figure and sighed. She didn't understand that the old emperor didn't like her back then, so she was sad and sad. She originally thought that he and the woman would be happy for the rest of their lives, but she didn't expect that it would be like that. Now the emperor is on the old path of his father, and loves him deeply, but he will inevitably end in a tragedy. Is this the loveless hatred since ancient times?

In the palace

Jing Yuan couldn't wait for the servants to report for a long time. It was almost noon and it was almost time for lunch. He really didn't want to wait any longer, so he threw down the memorial in his hand and walked out of the imperial study room.

Jin Fu followed closely behind, and knew that the emperor must have gone to Huanyi Palace without asking. The emperor asked him many times this morning, and he could only answer over and over again. Before the empress woke up, she was surprised. Since she wanted to see someone so, she would just wake her up, but she couldn't bear it.

Outside the gate of Huanyi Palace, several people were yawning against the door, looking listless. Seeing the emperor coming, they immediately became energetic and hurried forward to pay their respects.
