Chapter eighty-seven

"Your Majesty, you can take off the sign tonight." Eunuch Du bent down and said.

Emperor Xuan Zhao played with the ring in his hand and said, "No need."

He put on the ring ring and said, "I have done what I asked you to do."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, everything has been arranged for me." Eunuch Du said quickly, his tone was extremely respectful.

Emperor Xuan Zhao nodded slightly, "That puts me at ease." He picked up the tea cup and said, "Pay more attention to Zhao Shunyi's side and make sure to take good care of her."

"This slave understands." Eunuch Du added some tea for him, "Your Majesty ordered it, how dare you forget it."

"Jade, bring me the Yao-red pomegranate skirt," Concubine De suddenly said, not knowing where the interest came from.

Jade was stunned for a moment, and then she realized, "I haven't worn that pomegranate skirt for a long time since I entered the palace." Jade quickly took out a box and opened it carefully.

Concubine De stretched out her hand and let her help her get dressed, "Give me a flowing bun, make crescent eyebrows on my eyebrows, and wear that plum blossom hairpin."

She sat next to the bronze mirror and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar beauty in the mirror. She was familiar because of her gentleness and tenderness that had not changed over the years, but unfamiliar because of the melancholy and indifference in her eyes.

She stretched out her hand and caressed the woman in the mirror, "After all, we can't go back."

"My wife is still as beautiful as ever," Jade said with a smile.

Concubine De looked at her white and soft hands and said, "My younger brother is going to Beijing next year. Have you handed in the letter from home?" She tilted her head and asked.

"Don't worry, Madam, I've already handed it over to you." She quickly combed her hair into a bun.

Concubine De stood up, held her hand and walked to the outside of the palace. Pearl who was waiting outside the palace showed a look of surprise, "Your Majesty, you are so lively tonight."

Standing under the moonlight, Concubine De smiled when she heard the words, "I haven't danced like this for a long time, and now I will dance again."

She dances gracefully, with a slender waist, light steps as light as smoke, and the look between her eyebrows and eyes is very much like that of a young girl, but she didn't know who she was looking at, showing a bit of affection.

The feeling of homesickness spread in her chest, and Concubine De's dance gradually slowed down. She slowly stopped and said, "I've been away from home for too long." Her tone was a bit sad.

Jade came over and wiped the sweat from her forehead, "My queen's dancing posture is still as elegant as before."

"So what, I am no longer the same as before," nor is she the innocent boudoir girl she was then. For the future of her family, her hands have been stained with too much blood.

In the Qiushui Palace, Fu Ronghua was sitting on the swing and said, "Ruixue, it's a little higher." She was rarely in a mood, so she pulled Ruixue to play on the swing.

Ruixue pushed her gently, "Master, it's been a long time since I've been like this. In the past, in the mansion, every summer night, I would always let my slaves push you to swing on this swing."

When Fu Ronghua heard this, his expression was a little sluggish, "Really? It has been so long." She held her hands tightly on the vines wrapped around the swing, and finally smiled slowly in her eyes. After all, it was different.

She closed her eyes slightly. This time, everything was different. Concubine Shu was already half-impaired. Her revenge was finally avenged, and Ruixue's revenge was coming soon.

For some reason, a pair of eyes appeared in my mind. The abyss was like a star, revealing endless complexity and indifference.

She still remembered that he always hugged her and said words that made her happy and excited.

Until the end, when she died in the silent palace, she still remembered those almost cold eyes.
