Chapter 199: Only one wish, a corner of peace of mind (first update)
After coming out of Kun'an Palace, Ye Wanwan did not stop, but slowly walked back along the long corridor. It was too stuffy there just now, and she wanted to get some air.
Although she didn't care about Zhao Yi's attitude and was not afraid of anyone's eyes, looking at that group of people was an eyesore.
She would never be in the mood to get along well with this group of people in this life. It would be uncomfortable to sit at the same table with such annoying people.
Ye Wanwan was about to walk all the way back, taking a look at the newly blooming flowerbed in front of her. Unexpectedly, she met Yan Wu halfway. Yan Wu was wearing a black official uniform embroidered with unicorns. Judging from the direction he was walking, he should be preparing to leave the palace.
Go.
"I have met the Imperial Concubine." He saluted, but those eyes fell on Ye Wanwan without hesitation, flickering to suppress the unspeakable taboo.
Ye Wanwan raised her head and walked past him without even looking at him, showing her indifference and indifference.
In fact, I was so scared that my heartbeat almost stopped and I didn't even dare to breathe.
Now she wasn't even afraid of Zhao Yi going crazy, but she was only afraid of Yan Wu's eyes. The thing in them was too hot, as if it was going to burn her.
Yan Wu never concealed his thoughts, whether he was rebellious or obsessed with things, they were always made plain, for fear that she would not know.
Regardless of whether she was taking advantage of her with ulterior motives, at least she could feel that Yan Wu really liked her.
But the palace is a quagmire, and a devil like her can't struggle out, so why drag Yan Wu into it.
Although she always said she disliked Yan Wuchou, in fact, she never really disliked Yan Wu's appearance. She heard that he was once a handsome young general named Wu Zhu, a romantic and wanton hero, but he became like this due to accidental poisoning.
She has personally experienced disfigurement and knows the pain herself. She can treat others calmly and not look at her differently.
But this is different from whether she is interested in him or not.
True love is too light, and she doesn't believe it anymore, and doesn't care at all; it's too heavy, and she can't bear it, so it's better to ignore it.
Her heart is full of hatred, how can she think of anything else?
Mid-August, the Mid-Autumn Festival feast.
Ye Wanwan didn't go because she felt uncomfortable due to the night wind and the cold.
But it wasn't serious enough that she couldn't attend, but she didn't want to go, lest seeing those people get a headache, and when the condition worsened, she would be the one to suffer.
These days, I heard that Zhao Yi favored so and so, and that he was jealous of others, and that he met the emperor by chance and competed for his favor.
Ye Wanwan heard the excitement, but felt relieved. Zhao Yi had the heart to favor these concubines, so he had no time to pay attention to her. As long as he didn't go crazy with her, she would burn high incense.
At night, Ye Wanwan got up to take a drink of water and saw the lantern placed beside the bed.
"Who put it there?" Ye Wanwan was confused, and then she saw Qingsha's awkward expression and understood immediately.
Besides Yan Wu, who else would send her lanterns?
After coughing a few times, she took the water Qingsha handed her and drank it. Then she picked up the lantern. It was a golden-red phoenix lantern, exactly the same as the one last year.
Ye Wanwan touched the edge of the lantern. The workmanship was careful and exquisite, and there was almost no flaw to be found.
Suddenly, she saw what seemed to be words on the bottom of the lantern. She turned around and looked at it: Three thousand bright lanterns in front of the Buddha are not as good as one bright light in the heart.
Ye Wanwan pursed her lips and suddenly remembered something. She took a cloak and put it on. She went to the study and opened the cabinet. The lamp Yan Wu gave her last year was still there.
The exact same lantern also has words on the bottom: Only one wish, a corner of peace of mind.
Is this...a love poem?
Ye Wanwan put the two lanterns into the cabinet together. She did not dare to light either of them.
This Yan Wu, does he want to die?
----
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhao Yi went on a regular autumn hunting trip. Last year he was unable to go because he was seriously ill. Naturally, he wanted to go this year, and he did so with great fanfare and brought more people.
As soon as Ye Wanwan recovered from her illness, Zhao Yi sent someone to inform her.
"..." Didn't Zhao Yi forget her? She didn't hang out in front of him during this period, so why did he think of her?
She didn’t want to go, but Zhao Yi had people prepare everything and couldn’t tolerate her refusal.
The latest newcomers to the harem, Han Xuanyi is pregnant, Mu Ling is pregnant, the previous Ji Ying, Zhao Yi, could not take her there because of what happened last time, and Jiang Feixue was abolished.
Wei Ling...Ye Wanwan was very doubtful that Zhao Yi still remembered such a person.
Looking back at Zhao Yi's harem, it seems that it was just like that.
Zhao Yi brought quite a few people, including Ye Wanwan, Concubine Yun, Concubine Xian, and three other concubines, and the civil and military ministers brought most of them, which was a huge force.
Ye Wanwan was just recovering, and it was really a bit of a struggle. Fortunately, the journey was not far, so it wasn't unbearable.
When they arrived at their destination, Ye Wanwan fell asleep in the car. When she woke up, the carriage had been parked for who knows how long. She got up and got out of the car. A hand stretched out in front of her. She held it subconsciously, and then realized something was wrong.
He looked up and saw that it was Yan Wu.
She suddenly looked forward and realized that there was no one around. The carriage was parked at the entrance of Huangzhuang, and no one else had gone there.
She was so nervous at that moment that she subconsciously squeezed Yan Wu's hand, and then found that she couldn't pull it out: "You are looking for death!"
Yan Wu pulled her down slightly, then helped her stand steady with one hand, expressionless: "Be careful, ma'am."
Then he let go of his hand and backed away: "I have already sent my wife to you, please take my leave."
After disturbing Ye Wanwan's mind, he simply left.
Ye Wanwan was shaking with anger, this person...
He was looking for death and insisted on dragging her along.
----
Ye Wanwan entered the palace and moved into the courtyard that had been arranged earlier. Zhao Yi had already taken people to the fields. As usual, he still had to prepare sacrifices first.
Because you need to settle in and prepare before arriving, things don’t start until the next day.
"The Imperial Concubine." Concubine Yun and Concubine Xian came to see Ye Wanwan. Ye Wanwan was the biggest here, so she naturally followed her instructions. The main reason was that it was their first time here and they were not sure.
Ye Wanwan got up early, changed her clothes, and was having a meal: "What do you want from me? Go to the Emperor. Today we will sacrifice to the God of Agriculture. You can go and watch. Just let someone take you."
The two looked at each other in shock. Ye Wanwan was obviously not willing to go with them, so in the end they had no choice but to leave angrily.
Ye Wanwan walked over slowly. Everything was ready. Zhao Yi had already started the sacrifice under the leadership of the ceremony officer. Ye Wanwan glanced at Ye Zhaoru who was standing in front of the officials. He was here this year, but his expression didn't seem to be very good.
looks good.
Zhao Yi must have been busy in the past two days since he arrived. Concubine Yun and Concubine Xian were so exhausted from shopping that Zhao Yi didn't even bother to talk to them.
Finally, after these things are taken care of, the hunting begins.
Ye Wanwan is not very interested in hunting. People who are not good at archery should not embarrass themselves, especially since there are people everywhere in the woods, and arrows will not have long eyes. If they are accidentally killed, they will die unjustly.
