"Didn't you complain to me last time why I didn't bring it to you personally? So this time I got the wine and brought it to you non-stop." Tong Zhuo looked at her beaming smile and felt happy in his heart.
Fully packed.
Al Yunduo couldn't help but sit down and take a sip. The spicy taste extended down her throat to her stomach, and the little sweetness left on her tongue made her extremely satisfied.
She raised her head and looked at Tong Zhuo's smiling eyes, the rain on her hair, and the traces of rain and snow on her coat. She suddenly understood what it felt like to be thought of like Chu Miaoer all the time.
.
She was determined to put all her concerns about identity and status aside for the time being.
"It's easy to talk, and you can talk about anything when you have wine. All the maids here have been scolded by me and ran away," Al Yunduo laughed, pulled him to sit next to her, handed him a bottle of wine, and raised his eyebrows.
, "Chief Tong finally came here, how about he indulge in some extravagance tonight? Let's have a good time and we won't come back until we get drunk!"
"Okay!" Tong Zhuo clinked the wine bottles with her and agreed readily, "It's just this once, I won't come back until I'm drunk!"
Cold rain knocked on the window, and the greenhouse was bustling. Under the dim candlelight, the two of them drank happily. When they were enjoying themselves, Al Yunduo suddenly stood up and danced tirelessly round and round with the sound of raindrops falling on the window sill.
Wearing a skirt, her cheeks were flushed, and her every frown and smile were full of charm, making Tong Zhuo unable to take his eyes away.
Although he has a cold nature, he often feels compassion. To him, Al Yunduo is like a glass of poisonous wine mixed with poison. Even if he knows the consequences, he is willing to drink it.
"I'm asking you, why are you so stunned?" Chu Miao'er gently tapped her hand, with a look of doubt on her face, "Yes or no is just one sentence, you shouldn't have to think about it for so long..."
Al Yunduo was suddenly pulled out of his memories and said ambiguously: "Sister Princess, I blame myself for causing you to be locked up with me in Fengwei Palace this time. From now on, please don't bother me anymore."
It’s my business, so I don’t want to get involved again.”
Listening to her glance at his words, Chu Miaoer estimated that her guess was almost accurate, so she didn't force it, but she still couldn't help but deliberately mocked herself: "Hey, I finally understand. It turns out that I
He's the one who is meddling in other people's business... If that's the case, then I don't have to worry about it anymore, hey..."
She sighed repeatedly and stood up slowly.
"You know I didn't mean that..." Al Yunduo pursed his lips and was a little unhappy, lowered his head and murmured, "I know the balance between me and Tong Zhuo, but what she said is not completely false.
He does have a good impression."
"Shh!" Chu Miaoer quickly ran over and covered her mouth, looking around in a panic.
These words really shocked Chu Miao'er. She didn't know whether she should be relieved or horrified. Al Yunduo actually told her that he had a crush on a Guardsman so unprepared?
"Are you really desperate for your life?" Chu Miaoer lowered his voice and scolded, "You must not say these words casually in the palace!"
Al Yunduo disagreed, looking at her blankly, reaching out to grab Chu Miao'er's hand and smiling: "There are only two of us in the room, and Baitao is guarding the outside, what can't be said? Could it be that the princess sister will go to the queen?
Where are you going to expose me?"
"Even in front of me, you are not allowed to say this again," Chu Miao'er told her seriously, "Some words can only rot in your own stomach. Do you understand?"
Seeing Al Yunduo nodding his head obediently, Chu Miaoer felt even more uncomfortable.
Her father and brother used her freedom as a bargaining chip for the truce between the two countries, but they were unwilling to submit to it and secretly waited for the opportunity. She was so smart, she must have known that she would never have a child of her own in this life, Fu
Deyou would not give her the grace to dominate the Sixth Palace, and her relatives would not give her protection, so in the end, she was the wandering duckweed.
From being forced to accept his fate to accepting it calmly, perhaps only Al Yunduo himself understands the hardship and suffering in it. Chu Miaoer is just sorry. It is a pity that her relationship with Tong Zhuo will never see the light of day in this life. It is a pity.
If she and Tong Zhuo met in another identity, maybe they could be proud of the wind and the moon and sit and watch the lonely smoke in the desert.
Chun Liu gently helped Chu Qianqian take off her robe, folded it and carefully handed it to the waiting maid. The robe was covered with snow, so be sure not to drop it into the palace, lest the slippery floor might injure the queen.
"Queen, although Lingxiang is usually a bit weird, I think what Lingxiang said is not a lie..." Chunliu took off a new robe and put it on for Chu Qianqian, "But Concubine Yun
Empress…”
"Hey..." Chu Qianqian sighed deeply and lowered her eyes and said, "If she wants to trap herself, there is nothing anyone can do to her. As long as she doesn't bring this day out, I can just turn a blind eye.
Just one eye."
Chunliu frowned, fastened the gold buckle on his hand, and said: "But I can't figure it out after thinking about it. The fourth princess obviously doesn't want to cause trouble. Why did she still do it when she knew she couldn't do it?
Do you want to stand up for Concubine Yun?"
Not only Chunliu didn't know the reason, but even Chu Qianqian didn't understand it. In other words, she had never understood her half-sister.
"Queen mother..."
Before she had changed her clothes, she heard Xu Ning standing at the door urging her. I didn't feel it at Al Yunduo's place just now. Now that I was relaxing, I suddenly felt my throat was a little itchy. Chu Qianqian cleared her throat in a low voice, straightened her clothes and calmed down her face, then slowly
Walked out of the inner room.
When Xu Ning heard her cough twice, she immediately stood up and asked worriedly: "The wind and snow fell suddenly last night, did the queen catch a cold because of it?"
"Maybe..." Chu Qianqian raised her hand to signal her to sit down, tapped the tip of her nose with her handkerchief, and asked with a frown, "You came here in a panic just now, what happened?"
Only then did Xu Ning talk about the reason for her visit.
"Mother, Your Highness the Crown Prince coughed several times today. Ning'er couldn't persuade me, so I came to you shamelessly. His Royal Highness has just recovered from a serious illness and can't stand such fatigue. I also asked the Queen Mother to persuade him not to work so hard."
That’s it.”
"Hasn't the snow disaster in Xiling been resolved?" The harem is not allowed to interfere in the government affairs. Chu Qianqian asked without knowing why, "What is he busy with now?"
Chu Qianqian also knew that the snow disaster in Xiling was mostly due to the refusal of the stubborn veterans in the court to cooperate, which made the originally natural disaster relief work difficult. If Fu Yunchi and Xu Daoyang hadn't been working hard to mediate, the situation would have dragged on.
How serious it is.
"It seems to be about the Fourth Emperor's uncle going north to the desert..." Xu Ning said slowly.
Chu Qianqian couldn't understand this. Why did Fu Yunqi need to worry about returning to Mobei? However, she always remembered that "the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics", so she didn't mention it again even if she was suspicious of all sentient beings in her heart.
"Where is Doctor Zhang? Have you asked him to come and see you?" Chu Qianqian suddenly changed her mind and asked.
Xu Ning opened her mouth and was about to say something, but it was obvious that Chu Qianqian deliberately covered half of her face with the lid of the tea cup. She hesitated, nodded and responded: "Ning'er asked Binglan to go to the Tai Hospital to invite people from Tai Hospital early in the morning.
It was said that Dr. Zhang was old and had often felt dizzy in recent days. After going to the Second Prince's Mansion that day, he complained of illness and went home the next day. He didn't know when he would be able to come back. So he invited Dr. Li to go to the East Palace.
However... Doctor Li said that His Royal Highness is just not fully recovered yet and is a little weak and cold..."
Chu Qianqian is also aware of his son's temperament. He has finally made a lot of achievements now, and there is no way he will give up halfway again. Because he said that if he becomes the king, he will make the people live and work in peace and contentment, and be prosperous and healthy.
Will be better than his father.
"Queen mother, Ning'er is just worried that his body will not be able to bear it..."
And Xu Ning is undoubtedly a woman who can stay with him and give him support both spiritually and snobbishly.
Seeing Xu Ning's anxiety, Chu Qianqian comforted her softly: "As the prince, Li Lian should share the emperor's worries. Although Dr. Zhang had previously said that Li Lian's health was not serious, he just needed to rest.
Recovery. But you should be aware of his temperament after such a long time. Instead of advising him not to work hard, it would be better to ask the chef to prepare more nourishing medicinal meals for him, do you understand?"
Xu Ning only found out after she got married to him that Fu Lilian looked gentle and gentle on the surface, but in fact he was very stubborn. He often stayed up at night because of the refutations of several ministers in the court during the day, studying day and night, completely
Don't care about your own body.
However, since the doctors at the Imperial Hospital said that Fu Lilian was not seriously ill, there should be no problem. Facing Chu Qianqian's step-by-step persuasion, Xu Ning also felt that perhaps her worries were unfounded, and caring would lead to chaos.
"Ning'er understands, it was Ning'er's lack of consideration that made the queen worried..." Xu Ning lowered her head and said softly.
"Li Lian is lucky to marry you." Chu Qianqian nodded and sighed.
The wind and rain were silent at night, but Chu Miaoer was thinking about what happened during the day, something was on her mind, and she tossed and turned for a long time without being able to fall asleep.
Although Dongjue is just making a small fuss in Mobei on the border, haven't they thought that Fu Deyou can take advantage of this to really put Al Yunduo into the cold palace or kill him directly to show the country's prestige and weaken their vigor?
?
It can be seen that they have completely ignored Al Yunduo who is still a "hostage" in the palace, or in other words, this "hostage" can now become their abandoned son.
"There is an assassin!——" A long voice cut through the sky, and the entire Fengwei Palace was suddenly brightly lit.
How could there be an assassin in the palace? Chu Miaoer heard the footsteps outside becoming more and more chaotic, turned over, tore off the cloak on the side and got out of bed. Just a flash of light, Chu Miaoer was stunned on the spot.
, my heart trembled suddenly.
"It's me." A low voice sounded in her ears, and the hot air that followed made people shudder, "Don't scream."
