Looking at it from their point of view, they had a panoramic view of everything. That graceful figure who was blooming every step of the way, who else could it be if it wasn't Chu Xianxue? She was indeed the most beautiful woman in the Kingdom of Jin, even in the dim night, she was so charming
charming.
At this time, Xia He, the personal maid next to Chu Xianxue, was standing in the dark shadow not far away, looking around. However, she could not see the little Li Zi beside the prince. The prince must have been considerate of Chu Xianxue and was afraid that she would be lost in front of the palace people.
Lost face.
The tired moon hid in the clouds to rest, leaving only a few stars like sentries. The two stood there for a long time without anyone speaking. Perhaps it was because the identity change when they met again was so great that the two of them were momentarily distracted.
They didn't know how to speak, but Fu Lilian broke the silence first.
"Concubine Xue, you—" Before Fu Lilian could finish speaking, Chu Xianxue snatched her away.
"Brother Li Lian, it's all my fault. I heard from Xia He that you came to see me a few days ago," Chu Xianxue paused and then said, "It's not that I don't see you, it's that -"
Chu Xianxue's voice was coquettish, soft and charming. When she lowered her voice deliberately, it was soft, charming and affectionate, which made even Chu Miaoer, a woman, feel a little bit unable to stop.
"Xue Fei, please respect yourself. Your status is different from that of the past and cannot be transcended." Fu Lilian stood with his hands behind his hands and looked up at the bright moon. However, he felt infinite melancholy in his heart. He said with a bitter smile, "We should not have met in the first place. If we were caught by someone else,
If someone with bad intentions sees our private meeting tonight, they will definitely make a big fuss out of this matter, which will not be good for you or me."
How could Chu Xianxue not hear the sadness in his words? She blamed herself even more. She bit her lip and ignored the rules and etiquette. She hurriedly turned around and grabbed Fu Lilian's sleeve, using it so gently.
A voice like dripping water said: "Brother Li Lian, are you still blaming me?"
Chu Xianxue was already charming, and her charming eyes were so soft that they were about to burst into tears. Even Chu Miaer, who was hiding behind the flowers, was a little moved when she saw it, but Fu Li didn't even look at the moon in the sky.
Looking at her, her voice was as cold as the moonlight: "No wonder."
"Brother Li Lian, do you love Xu Ning?"
Fu Lilian didn't expect that she would ask this question so straightforwardly. He was stunned for a moment. It took him a long time to react and shook his head in a self-deprecating manner: "There is no such thing as love or dislike. I am the prince, and I should be regarded as the crown prince of the Kingdom of Jin."
All interests come first.”
Thinking of Fu Lilian's kindness to her in the past, and thinking of her father who had just passed away and his body was still cold, Chu Xianxue's tears suddenly fell drop by drop like unbroken pearls. She didn't understand whether what she did was right or wrong, and why.
She would have reached this point today, but today's situation was caused by herself, so she had to lower her head and dare not speak out again.
"When I heard you call me 'Brother Li Lian', I felt happy in my heart. Now when I hear you call me, it's not the same as before. I just feel sad." Seeing that she was silent, Fu Lilian looked down and saw that she was sobbing, and he sighed in his heart.
He said in a tone, "Now that you are Concubine Xue, you must pay attention to your moral character in everything. You are not as willful as before in the palace, and you must not be as willful as before and bring trouble to yourself. The Chu family is no longer what it used to be. If you want to gain a firm foothold in the harem, you must
Don't place your hopes on my father, and join forces with my mother and queen. The fourth princess is also a master who can take care of things. So far, since you have chosen this path, you should think of the situation you and I have today.
, From now on, Concubine Xue will wish for more blessings for herself." Chu Xianxue beside her finally couldn't hold back, and threw herself into Fu Lilian's arms, crying loudly: "Brother Lilian, I, I was wrong, but
I've been waiting for you for so long, why don't you come and marry me, why-"
Chu Miao'er was slightly startled when she heard this, and suddenly she felt a little pity for her. Come to think of it, it's not that Chu Xianxue didn't have true feelings for Fu Lilian, but the two of them had been in love for many years, but it was too late to guard her body like jade.
If you can't wait until your sweetheart comes to marry you in a sedan chair, you will inevitably feel aggrieved. When you meet someone who can cherish you more, you will lose your sense of proportion. It is true that it is easy to fall in love but difficult to stay together.
Fu Li even wanted to reach out his hand, but he held back. Even though she cried hoarsely, he made no move or made any sound.
Perhaps because he was tired from crying, the crying in his arms gradually became quieter and his body stopped shaking. Fu Lilian raised his head and softly called Xia He, who was not far away, to come over.
"Take your mother-in-law back. If anything happens in the future, don't meet in private again," Fu Lilian lowered his head and looked at the person in his arms. His eyes were slightly swollen, his nose was slightly red, and his heart suddenly felt like tearing, and he whispered.
He said, "She has a simple mind. You should always be by your side to remind her so that no one can take advantage of her."
Hearing this, Chu Xianxue shed tears on her forehead and slid down her jade-like cheeks. Xia He responded and hurriedly stepped forward to help Chu Xianxue up and wanted to take her away, but found that Chu Xianxue was holding her tightly in her hands.
At the corner of Fu Lilian's clothes, his beautiful eyebrows were frowned, his pretty red lips were tightly pursed, and his charming eyes looked pitiful because of their redness and swelling.
"Xue Fei, the night watchman is coming again now. It's time for us to leave." Xia He called softly into her ear and gently opened Chu Xianxue's tightly clenched hands with one hand, but Chu Xianxue didn't move at all.
He just stared at Fu Lilian.
"Let's go, Xue'er."
Hearing the familiar title, accompanied by an invisible sigh from Fu Lilian, Chu Xianxue covered her face with her hands, and let Xia He take her away as if resigned to her fate. Tears flowed quietly from the gaps between her fingers. They all knew that this
This is the real farewell. From now on, Chu Xianxue will be Concubine Xue, while Fu Lilian will only be the crown prince of the Kingdom of Jin.
But after Chu Xianxue left, Chu Miaoer clearly saw the prince turning and leaving, and reached out to wipe away her tears. This emotion that should not have existed from the beginning ended quietly in the cold moonlight, which was really sad.
On the way back home, Chu Miao'er was obviously distracted by what had just happened and remained silent all the way. When Fu Yunqi saw it, he suddenly said affectionately: "Miaomiao, if I can keep going like this with you, I will be happy in the end.
.”
At this moment, silence was better than sound. Chu Miaoer smiled sweetly, but her heart was slightly rippled by his words. She was luckier than Chu Xianxue, at least she still had Fu Yunqi who loved her so much.
After drinking some wine at the dinner party, she suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. Chu Miaoer just opened her eyes and felt slightly dizzy. She subconsciously reached out to the side, only to find that the place next to her was cold. Fu Yunchi also got up and what was she doing?
I lay on the bed with my eyes closed and rested for a while. I found that I was still not sleepy, so I simply got up.
The night outside the window was filled with darkness, and the sound of insects could be heard every day since the beginning of summer. Chu Miaoer felt it was a bit noisy at first, but over time, she got used to it, and listening to it made her feel at ease.
There was still a bit of chill in the late night of summer. She was wearing a slightly thicker cloak. When Chu Miaoer came out of the back room, she saw Baitao sleeping soundly, so he did not wake her up. He walked past her very softly and whispered softly.
After closing the door, he turned around and walked outside.
"princess--"
Ting Feng, who was guarding the door, suddenly made a sound, which scared Chu Miao'er so much that her heart almost fell out of her throat.
"Shh-" Chu Miao'er made a silent gesture and pointed to the room, "Baitao is sleeping soundly, please keep your voice down."
Tingfeng nodded silently and whispered: "Where are you planning to go, Princess?"
"I woke up and couldn't sleep. I wanted to wander around." Chu Miaoer looked around for a few times, but didn't see Fu Yunqi's figure. He asked softly, "Where is the prince?"
"The prince said just now that he couldn't sleep and was wandering around -"
"Oh -" Chu Miaoer nodded with a smile. Sure enough, after being together for a long time, our work and rest schedules were so similar, "Then you can stay here, I will come back soon."
Seeing the princess turn around and leave, Tingfeng quickly chased after her and asked in a low voice: "Will Tingfeng accompany the princess?"
Chu Miao'er didn't stop for a moment, waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "Nothing, I'll go find your prince, so don't bother me."
Hearing this, Tingfeng's running feet froze in place. He thought about what the princess said. It was not unreasonable. There were secret guards everywhere in the palace, and the prince was here. What was he worried about? Tingfeng nodded with self-confidence and jumped away.
He rose and landed on the tree, then returned to the tree trunk where he had stayed before. He lay down with his legs crossed and looked into the house.
From this angle, I could just see Baitao sleeping soundly through the open window. I don't know what she was dreaming about. She was smiling and frowning for a while. Her expression was very wonderful. Seeing this, Tingfeng, who was lying down,
The corners of his mouth immediately curved in pleasure, and he closed his eyes with satisfaction.
The summer night wind carried the fragrance of flowers, gently blowing Chu Miaoer's black hair that was rolled up casually. She was walking aimlessly and vaguely heard the sound of a flute. It was melodious and beautiful. Could it be Fu Yunchi?
?
Chu Miao'er looked forward slowly following the sound in the afterglow of the moonlight. The sound of the flute drifted in the wind, leading her to the edge of the small lake.
There was a person standing in the center of the small pavilion in the lake, holding a jade flute in both hands. The sound of the flute was gentle, and his back seemed a little lonely. Chu Miaoer stood quietly like this, not disturbing him.
"Miaomiao is awake too?" After the song ended, Fu Yunqi slowly turned around, seemingly not surprised by her appearance, and stretched out his hand to her with a smile, "Miaomiao, come here."
Chu Miaoer smiled slightly, walked forward slowly and put her hand on his palm before saying, "This is the first time I listen to your flute."
"Oh?" Fu Yunchi raised his eyebrows and said with an ambiguous smile, "As far as I know, this is not the first time that Miaomiao has listened to my flute."
Hearing this, Chu Miaoer's face turned red. She had only told Hu Yin about the dream she had before. She didn't expect that Hu Yin would tell such embarrassing things to the second prince. It was really embarrassing.
"Miaomiao is still so thin-skinned." Fu Yunqi stopped teasing when he saw her embarrassment, and took her to sit at the stone table. There was a pot of sake and a wine glass on the stone table. He picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
, put the flute to his mouth again, and the melodious and elegant sound of the flute came gently.
The flowers by the lake were still blooming beautifully. At this time, the breeze was blowing, and the fragrance was fragrant. Listening to the melodious sound of the flute, she suddenly felt that if this was the case in this life, it would be worth her time to come to this world. Chu Miaoer stretched out her hand for herself
Pouring wine, one glass after another, is also very pleasant.
