Outside Xianliang Gate, carriages were lined up like a long queue.
Cheng Huan held my hand and shook it gently a few times. I quickly recovered my mind, lowered my head and asked with a smile: "Where are you talking about?" She pursed her lips and said unhappily: "Aunt, you came out of the pavilion today.
I just kept in a daze, didn't you listen to a word I said?"
I hurriedly caressed her face and said with a smile: "Aren't you talking about Ah Sang in the fourth prince's palace?"
She nodded hurriedly, glanced around at the palace maids around her, and when she saw that no one was paying attention, she lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Asang is no longer in Brother Hongli's palace. A few days ago, I went to pay my respects to Concubine Xi. I'll see you there.
Why don't you hide and cry secretly by yourself without her?"
I was startled, squatted down, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"
Seeing that I was paying attention, she glanced at me with a triumphant smile and said, "She was originally from Concubine Xi's palace. Because she was good at embroidery, she was sent to brother Hongli's palace. However, recently, the purses she embroidered have become more expensive."
Brother Hongli didn't need or wear any of her clothes. I also saw brother Hongli reprimanding her, 'Do your duty well and think too much about it...' Finally, he gave her back to Concubine Xi."
It turned out to be like this. I think Concubine Xi wanted to give her son a beautiful girl, but it backfired and it was self-defeating. Hongli just didn't like it, so he sent it back.
She shook her head and chuckled, and told Cheng Huan, "Don't mention it again." She saw that my face was serious and I wasn't joking, so she nodded honestly and said, "I told you so."
I smiled and nodded her forehead, stood up, held Cheng Huan's hand, and was about to get in the car when I saw Gao Wuyong hurriedly approaching and said: "Miss Xiaowen, the emperor's mouth has been very dry today, why don't you just go with it?"
Waiting."
The maids around me glanced at me quickly, hurriedly stood with their heads slightly lowered, and Gao Wuyong continued respectfully: "The tea is ready, just waiting for the girl."
I nodded and said with a slight smile: "Slave, please arrange the princess and she will be here soon." Behind me, Qiao Hui walked over with a smile in her eyes and took Cheng Huan's hand.
Cheng Huan opened his mouth a few times, maybe wanting to go with him. Qiao Hui smiled and shook her head. In the end, she just pursed her lips and followed Qiao Hui towards the carriage.
Following Gao Wuyong, I walked over, stepped onto his carriage, lifted the curtain and went inside. He leaned on the cushions, frowning and staring at the book in his hand. I sat opposite him, looking at each other in silence.
The carriage shook slightly, and I suddenly came back to my senses. I asked with a slight smile: "Are you thirsty?"
He put the folded bag inside and opened his arms with a smile. I hesitated for a moment and moved to sit over. He put one arm around my shoulders and held my hand with the other, and said with a smile: "Will you move here when you come back this time?"
"
I was silent for a while, glanced at him, bit my lower lip and nodded.
He smiled and hugged me, rested his chin on my head, and sighed: "God has treated me well." He took his hand, intertwined his fingers, and held it together, hesitating in his heart whether to say it or not.
Saying it was equivalent to admitting that he did not enter the palace for him this time. If he did not say it, he would not be able to express his feelings freely. After being quiet for a while, he straightened his thoughts, raised his head, and said, "Can you promise me something?"
He looked at me without saying anything, and I said, "This is just one thing. From now on, I will start over with this face. Everything about Ruoxi has nothing to do with me anymore."
The smile on his face disappeared, leaving only a cold look. My heart slowly sank, and the smile froze on my face.
He said: "I still can't let him go."
I released the hands that were holding each other, straightened up, and said: "The letter of divorce he wrote fulfilled my sister's last wish. I don't dare to ask for too much, I only hope that if he can live, he can live."
He must have some dignity. If he cannot live with dignity, let him die cleanly and without torture."
His face was calm, and there was no trace of emotion in his eyes, and he said: "As long as they calm down and become a pampered prince, Beizi, it is still possible. I don't want to hurt their lives."
I felt relieved and thought to myself that the bit of history I knew was not entirely trustworthy. It might have been misprinted. Master Ba and the others did not die unexpectedly. Thinking of this, I took a long breath and leaned on his shoulders, stroking his waist.
He picked up the sachet in the room and said, "Do you still have it with you?"
He lowered his head to my ear and said, "I want to keep you by my side all day long." I smiled and pushed him, he hugged me, and the two of us were silent.
The carriage slowly stopped. I straightened up quickly, brushed my hair behind my ears with my hands, and straightened the hem of my clothes. Seeing my hurried and nervous look, he chuckled and said, "There's nothing wrong with it."
I smiled at him and wanted to lift the curtain and get out of the car. As soon as I moved a little further, he pulled me into his arms again. I felt very embarrassed and said angrily, "Everyone waiting outside is waiting."
He suppressed his laughter and whispered hoarsely: "Are you leaving like this?" He kissed him hastily on the face, opened the curtain, and Gao Wuyong, who was standing by the carriage, stretched out his hand to help me, and I looked in front of me.
Faced with the Nala clan, Concubine Xi and other concubines, they hurriedly got out of the way and got out of the carriage on their own.
Since he entered the palace, Yinzhen has been in the Yangxin Hall to manage politics. He had nothing to do that day, so he went to the imperial garden on a whim. By coincidence, he met Nala and several people after walking a few steps.
A concubine.
Not wanting to stay too long, he bowed down and bowed to them before asking to leave. Nara smiled quietly and said, "Girl, you are in luck. In this case, why not sit down together."
He nodded with a smile and followed Nala into the pavilion. After everyone sat down, Cuizhu and I were the only ones standing on one side. Nala smiled and said, "Xiaowen, come and sit."
I sighed secretly and went to sit under her. As soon as I sat down, Concubine Qi across from me smiled and said, "The girl is indeed beautiful and dignified in manners." As soon as I finished speaking, she didn't allow her to speak. She turned around and asked Concubine Xi with a smile.
Said: "Sister, Hongli is now sixteen, it's time to marry Fujin."
I felt cold in my heart and stared at Concubine Qi indifferently. She looked at Concubine Xi with a smile on her face.
Concubine Xi's expression did not change, and she said with a smile: "It's time to get married. A few days ago, the emperor even said that he would personally arrange the marriage for this child."
Concubine Qi was stunned, and I pursed my lips and chuckled. She was indeed the future empress dowager. She was thoughtful, insightful, and well-spoken. She easily bypassed the topic without being soft or hard, and no one could pick up the topic.
Looking at Concubine Qi with a smile, she had an angry look on her face, and she suddenly understood why Hong Shi always spoke impetuously and carelessly.
Although she was smiling on her face, she was already depressed and anxious in her heart. She didn't expect to encounter such a thing on the first day she entered the palace. Nala's eyes glanced around, and all the concubines immediately stopped talking. She smiled and said to me: "Xiaowen
,Is everything going well for the Emperor in the garden these days?"
I smiled and replied: "Everything is fine, Your Majesty."
I think everyone understood what was going on between me and Yinzhen, but when Jing Nala asked, the soreness in my chest instantly surged up, passed up my back, and went straight to my forehead.
She smiled faintly, took my hand, and said to everyone: "Xiaowen has long been one of Long Live Lord's people, and you are not allowed to say anything without reason in the future."
Concubine Xi still smiled as warm as spring, nodded and said: "From now on, the emperor will have to trouble my sister with his daily life." Concubine Yu and other lower-ranking concubines also nodded, but Concubine Qi had a look of disgust in her eyes.
, flashed by, and said with a slight sneer at the corner of his mouth: "If the Queen doesn't say anything, those of us who have been in the palace for a long time still don't know. It's just that after so long, why has the emperor not canonized you yet?"
Although Nala was quiet and elegant, she was slightly angry at this time and scolded: "Is it your turn or mine to worry about the emperor's affairs?"
Concubine Qi's face tightened, she glared at me and stopped talking. She treated me like this, maybe she thought I had helped Hongli, and all kinds of feelings surged in my heart. I suppressed it, stood up, and said, "Come out."
After a while, I am afraid that the emperor has finished discussing the matter, so I will leave first." Nala smiled and nodded, and I turned around and walked back.
After sitting in the room for a long time, I suddenly came to my senses and saw the moonlight setting outside the window.
Why did Nala deliberately announce his identity in front of everyone just to block Concubine Qi's mouth at that time? He had other intentions. After thinking about it for a long time, he still had no clue. He sighed secretly and stopped thinking about it.
Although he didn't turn on the lamp, the room was as bright as day. He stood up and fell on the bed. He was already exhausted and soon fell into a deep sleep.
In the early morning, the dark night is about to disappear, and the gray sky is gradually getting brighter.
His brows were furrowed in front of me, and I reached over to smooth them out gently. He was startled, opened his eyes, looked at me silently for a moment, leaned over and kissed my forehead gently, and said, "What happened yesterday?"
I smiled and asked, "Why do you ask that?"
He lowered his head and glanced down with a slight smile on his face. I looked down and saw that my other hand was holding his shirt tightly, and there were traces of being scratched next to his hand. I quickly let go and laughed.
He said: "I just grabbed your shirt accidentally, what could happen?"
He sighed softly: "You held on tight all night."
I was a little speechless. After a moment of silence, I suppressed a smile and said, "Maybe I don't want you to leave me."
He sighed softly, pulled me into his arms, and hugged me tightly, as if he wanted to rub me into his body.
I knew I wasn't the only one with him, and I knew that what I hoped for would never come true. I always told myself that I was well prepared and wouldn't care anymore, but I really let myself face so many of his women, but I still couldn't.
Respect calmly and calmly.
Smiling bitterly in her heart, she gently stroked his body with her fingers, and his tight body slowly relaxed.
He said: "If you don't want to see them, you don't have to. No one can force you. As long as you don't embarrass yourself, I'll be relieved."
I felt warm in my heart and asked, "How did you know?"
He said quietly: "After you left, the Queen came."
I raised my head and saw his eyes full of pity, saying, "I don't want you to embarrass yourself."
A smile escaped from the corner of my mouth and I said, "I don't want you to embarrass me either."
Leaning against the window and looking at the full moon hanging in the night sky, she pursed her lips and smiled, forcing herself to suppress the bitterness in her heart. She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths, feeling that the depression in her heart had dissipated a little.
He put his arm around my waist and said gently: "If you don't want to go, don't force yourself."
I withdrew my gaze, covered his hand with both hands, and said softly: "Is it possible that I have been hiding from people all my life? Since I have chosen this path, I will definitely go on."
His hands tightened and they hugged each other for a while. Gao Wuyong outside the room reminded him softly: "Your Majesty, it's time."
He turned my body, and I hurriedly disappeared from the sadness in my heart. When our eyes met, there was a smile on my lips. He carefully looked at my expression, the traces of worry, regret, and the traces of worry in his eyes.
After the doubts disappeared, he repeated: "Don't force yourself."
I lowered my head slightly, not daring to look him in the eye, and said, "You don't have confidence in me?"
He sighed softly, held my chin, and looked directly at me: "You have changed a bit. When this happened before, you had no time to hide, so how could you ask for it?" I panicked a little, and urged him with a smile.
: "It's time for you to go."
His eyes lingered on me for a while longer, then he let me go and said, "Kunning Palace will send someone to take you to the female relatives later." I nodded lightly and pushed him away with a smile. He frowned and shook his head.
Shaking his head, he turned around and left the room.
Listening to the footsteps getting further away, I put a smile on my face, and the astringent feeling hidden deep in my heart rose again. I couldn't suppress it or give it up.
He sighed heavily, turned around and sat down at the table, thinking to himself, Master Eighth, Fourteenth has already met him, Master Nine, I don’t like him at all, and besides, he stayed in the forbidden area and didn’t come at all. I just don’t know what happened to Lao Shi and Mingyu.
That's it. I can only see Mingyu at the female relatives' place, and it's impossible to see Lao Shi.
After thinking for a while, my mind became confused, so I shook my head and didn't want to think about it anymore. From the corner of my eye, I suddenly saw a person standing at the door. I was slightly startled and looked over quickly.
Mr. Ba stood silently at the door and looked at me. I hadn’t seen him for several months. This handsome man with a face like a crown jewel was actually much thinner, but he was still in good spirits. I stood up and stared at him. I thought I would not have a chance to see him again tonight.
, I felt a mixture of joy and sorrow for a moment.
He walked over slowly with an indifferent expression. It wasn't until he reached him that I woke up and hurriedly made a gesture of invitation.
The two of us sat down, and I blurted out: "It seems like you have less money these days?"
He smiled lightly and asked, "Really?"
Listening to the long-lost voice, I felt inexplicably relieved and said, "I thought you wouldn't come to participate?"
He turned to look at me, with a faint smile still on his lips, and said, "Are you worried?"
His heart seemed to skip a beat, and he concealed a smile and said, "Why is the Eighth Master here?"
He suppressed a smile, his face was as calm as water, and he stared at me and said: "I didn't want to come, but there is still something unclear in my heart that I can't let go of."
I smiled bitterly to myself, he was the one who wanted the answer first, but traveling through time and space is a concept that cannot be explained in the 21st century. How could people three hundred years ago understand it? I am afraid that if I tell him, he will definitely think me wrong.
I am a mentally disturbed person. At that moment, I have so many things in my mind that I don’t even know where to start.
He still stared at me with stern eyes and said, "You don't want to explain? It's true that Ruoxi is no longer alive, but how do you know everything about her?"
Explain, how to explain.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, looking confused, and added: "Besides, it's true as you said, you are indeed similar, just like the same person."
I was silent for a while and said: "Although I don't have her appearance, I have her thoughts." He looked surprised and a little disbelieving. I sighed softly: "Maybe she couldn't let go and was reluctant to let go.
She made me come here, even though she has a different appearance, but I still remember everything that happened to her."
Sadness lingered in my heart, and there was a bit of soreness in my eyes. He closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them suddenly, and said with a smile: "Can't let go, can't bear to part..."
I felt uncomfortable in my heart and opened my mouth several times, but in the end I still didn't know what to say. He slowly stopped smiling and his expression gradually returned to normal. The two of them sat in silence and said nothing to each other.
He glanced at me and said, "Then are you Ruoxi now, or...?"
Before he finished speaking, I knew he didn't know how to continue, so I smiled and said softly: "I live for her." Living for her, or living for Xiaowen, in fact, I am just one person, and I smiled helplessly in my heart.
A very faint smile appeared on his face, but it disappeared for just a moment, and he laughed at himself in a low voice: "It's still him she can't let go of. If she had known this, why did she leave then? In the end, she will only hurt herself."
Unable to interface or answer, I had to bow my head and acquiesce with a smile.
He silently stared at the moonlight outside the window for a while, then cast his eyes on me again and said, "It's really her, my feeling is correct." He was stunned for a moment, but then he understood that he was talking about that time in the Villa.
trip.
He stood up and said, "Don't care about unnecessary people. Live only for yourself from now on." I felt warm in my heart, but the sadness in my heart still didn't fade away, so I said softly: "If you care and take care of it, it's not unnecessary.
People like you, Master Ba, please let it go. For no other reason than to leave a way for prosperity, it is also worthy of the spirit of Fujin in heaven."
After saying that, my heart tightened and I thought to myself that I shouldn't mention Minghui. I glanced at him quietly. There was no sadness or special expression on his face. He just said lightly: "The winner has been decided for a long time.
How can I do unnecessary things again?”
I felt relieved and let out a sigh of relief. I felt relieved that I had been worried these days.
He glanced at me again, pondered for a while, then walked to me
