"Jinyiwei?" Bai Ruxue muttered these three words repeatedly, with joy on her face. It seems that this girl is very satisfied with this title from the Zhu Ming Dynasty.
Although Mu Ying doesn't know much about literacy, he still thinks this kind of name sounds very good, it is both concise and extraordinarily grand.
Seeing that neither of them had any intention of objecting, Shao Yan did not explain further, and immediately left the harem quietly and walked slowly towards his bedroom.
…
Time flies quickly, and another month has passed in the blink of an eye. Early winter is coming, and the climate is getting colder day by day, especially in Badaling. Since it is surrounded by mountains on all sides, every time the sun rises, it only touches this area.
Passing by, it is hidden by the mountains again
As a result, this place that was originally humid has become colder. However, it is precisely because of the high and steep mountains that the sea breeze from outside cannot blow in.
Even without the biting cold wind, the entire palace still seemed very cold. Everyone inside and outside the palace wore thick cotton coats, but because the weather was too cold, they still did not forget to use their mouths when walking.
He kept breathing into his palms and secretly cursing the damn God in his mouth.
Shao Yan was wearing a thick jacket and a black cloak today. He was walking alone in the imperial garden. The wind blew past his ears, and the withered leaves on the branches on the roadside fell one after another.
On the ground
He tightened his cloak tightly and walked forward slowly. As he walked, he looked at the fallen leaves floating in the wind and said to himself: "The fallen leaves will eventually return to their roots, but what about me? I will continue to stay and pry.
Should I disturb this piece of history, or return to my original place like these fallen leaves?"
The wind continued to blow, and it seemed to be much stronger than before. The trees and flowers in the imperial garden were blown to and fro. Suddenly, heavy snow fell in the clear sky. Shao Yan wrapped his cloak tightly and smiled lightly.
Said: "The weather in ancient times changed really fast. Wind, frost, snow and rain could fall at any time."
The snow keeps falling, and it’s getting heavier and heavier.
Shao Yan was about to turn back to the palace, but unexpectedly there was a paper umbrella above his head. Looking back, he saw Bai Ruxue wearing a big red cloak, standing in front of him with a smile. This girl has fair skin and a beautiful figure.
, coupled with the red cloak she is wearing, it can even better complement her beautiful, white and rosy face.
Shao Yan took the umbrella and smiled casually: "You're back so soon? Is the training over?"
Bai Ruxue smiled sweetly and said: "Your Majesty, you have forgotten that the morning time will not return to Ruxueguan."
Shao Yan slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "Look at my brain, I actually forgot about this matter."
Bai Ruxue smiled. Because the wind and snow were too heavy and the umbrella was too small, most of her body was exposed outside the umbrella. Shao Yan quietly held her little hand that was purple from the cold, and her face was as white as snow.
She turned red all of a sudden, but her heart was as warm as fire
Seeing this girl lowering her head blindly, Shao Yan stopped, looked at her shy face affectionately, and asked softly: "Ruxue, tell me, am I scary when I look like this?"
Bai Ruxue raised her head and glanced at him, then chuckled and said, "Why would the emperor ask you such a question? Ruxue doesn't think you look scary, but it gives you a very close feeling."
"Oh, is that really like this?" Shao Yan said seriously: "Then why are you always avoiding me? In the past two months, except for reporting the training situation to me every day, you have never said a word to me.
I sometimes go to you, but you also deliberately avoid me. Every time you answer my questions, you act like a student who has made a mistake, either nodding or shaking your head. To be honest, I don’t know you.
What kind of psychology is it out of, but this is definitely not your character. Among the girls I know, you are the most chivalrous chivalrous woman. You have always been the same on the outside and said the same thing, but now..."
"Please speak carefully, Your Majesty." Bai Ruxue hurriedly cut off his words and said: "In Ruxue's mind, you are not only a wise king, but also a good brother who treats others sincerely. Ruxue once said, Ruxue wishes
I will stay by your side and protect you all my life. Miss Cao once taught Ruxue a saying, "A scholar will die for his confidant." You are Ruxue's master and Ruxue's confidant. Ruxue will risk everything for you.
Everything, but Ruxue knows that her status is low, and there are some things she can only hope for but cannot hope for."
"What does it mean to be hopeless?" Shao Yan said with a calm face: "I have never disliked you from the beginning to the end. You obviously like me, why do you torture yourself like this? How long do you want to lie to yourself?"
Bai Ruxue's eyes were wet, and then she wiped them with her sleeves, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, can we not talk about this issue for now?"
"Of course, but you have to answer my question first."
"Your Majesty, please speak"
Shao Yan looked around, then turned around and looked her in the face, asking: "Tell me honestly, have you ever liked me?"
Bai Ruxue's face turned red. She had intended to avoid this question, but she was afraid of Shao Yan's impatient eyes, so she could only nodded gently: "I like it."
Shao Yan was immediately overjoyed. Although he had known the answer a long time ago, those were mostly just wishful guesses. Now that he heard the girl answer in person, the feeling was very real, very subtle, and very considerate.
Bai Ruxue blushed and said, "If your Majesty has nothing else to do, Ruxue will leave first. Sister Mu Ying is still waiting for me in the back garden." She was about to leave after saying that.
Shao Yan grabbed her hand from behind and pushed it into his arms. Their lips were pressed tightly together. Bai Ruxue pushed his thick chest hard, but she couldn't push it away.
Yan simply threw away the umbrella in his hand, held her face with both hands, and kissed her passionately. Bai Ruxue's breathing became rapid, her face turned red and white, and the fist in her hand unconsciously touched Shao Yan's cheek.
Back, hugged her tightly
At this time, it happened to be the end of get out of class for Jin Yiwei. Cao Xuanjiao held a stack of books in her hand and walked to the Royal Garden accompanied by her maid Yunhe. She originally planned to report her work to Shao Yan, but unexpectedly she happened to bump into this scene
Yun He frowned and cursed softly: "Miss, look at this foxy girl, as long as she is here, you can't even think of becoming the queen."
A look of loneliness appeared on Cao Xuanjiao's face, but she soon regained her composure. She smiled calmly and said: "General Bai and the Emperor are in love. Among so many people, she is the one who understands the Emperor's thoughts best. If she can become the Queen,
That’s not a bad thing.”
"But are you really willing to give up the throne? The emperor promised Lord Cao that he would make you the queen in a while, but it has been two months and there has been no movement at all. Please forgive me for being bold.
The emperor's soul is basically with you. Yinu, I think as long as there are two foxy girls like Bai Ruxue and Mu Ying in the palace, you can't think about anything else." Yun He pouted angrily.
Cao Xuanjiao was born in a scholarly family. How could he be instigated by her few words? He rolled his eyes at her and said: "Okay, don't act unruly. In the past, I didn't care about you in the house, but now I am here."
In the palace, you'd better keep your quick mouth, you are so charming and charming, if you say that again, I will ignore you from now on."
Seeing that she was unmoved, Yun He looked flustered and said hurriedly: "Miss, farewell. Isn't this injustice for you? I just think that you have done so much for the emperor, but he doesn't appreciate it at all.
On the contrary, she is particularly close to the two of them. If she continues like this, she will take her position as the head of the harem sooner or later. Miss, you..." She was about to continue, but when she turned around, she realized that Cao Xuanjiao had already left.
If Cao Xuanjiao didn't feel anything at all, I'm afraid even she wouldn't believe it. At first, she only respected Shao Yan out of respect for the king, but as time went by, her respect quickly turned into admiration.
As a young girl, she gradually realized that she was deeply in love with Shao Yan. Even after not seeing him for a day, she always felt as if something was missing around her.
After returning to the house, she locked herself in the room alone in frustration. No matter how hard Cao Kun and his wife knocked on the door, they refused to open the door. Just when Yun He rushed back from outside, Cao Kun learned all this.
They were so angry that they gritted their teeth and said that they must jointly submit a letter asking the emperor to make a quick decision on the matter, otherwise they would collectively retire and return to their hometowns.
On this point, Cao Xuanjiao had a completely different view from her father. She believed that her father's move had violated a taboo in the DPRK. It sounded like a joint petition, but it was hard to say that it was a clique for personal gain. I am afraid that any minister would be able to bear this crime.
Unaffordable
Moreover, even if the emperor made a compromise and let her become the queen, such a couple would only have the name of husband and wife, but no real life as husband and wife. They would be like walking zombies. She didn't want to see Shao Yan living in depression every day.
After her persuasion, Cao Kun gave up this idea.
…………
That night, Cao Xuanjiao had dinner and went to bed early to rest. She tried her best to control herself not to think about what happened during the day, but once she closed her eyes, all she could think of was Shao Yan's smiling face. In desperation, she
She had no choice but to pick up a pillow and lean it against the bedside, leaning on it quietly. At this moment, she suddenly heard the conversation between her father and a stranger coming from outside the room.
"Sir, you promised me last time that you would send me out of the city when things were done. Why didn't you keep your promise? You made me hide outside for two months. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have done it by now.
I fell under the sword of your Donglin soldiers." The speaker was an old man.
"Yes, I said so. Last time I just asked you to act, but you took it seriously." Cao Kun lowered his voice and said, "Did you know? You almost killed the emperor."
