Li Huang

That night I slept very soundly with the power of wine, and some people were watching me in the dimness. I woke up in the morning and Hui Ju told me that Shen Xiyao was here after the dinner was over. I stayed in my bedroom for a long time, but I saw that I was asleep. Zhengshu, he ordered a few words to leave.

"The emperor seems to have drunk a lot of wine, and she kept talking in front of the empress' bed, but the slave and maidservant did not hear clearly outside. However, the emperor's eyes seemed very sad."

When Hui Ju was talking to me, I just got up and sat in front of the dressing table and held up a pair of dotted earrings to wear. When I heard her, I loosened my hands and the earrings dropped to the ground.

I stared at myself in the mirror blankly, what did he say to me? He will have a sad expression? Hands dropped feebly, and my heart was numb.

Because I promised Haoyue to teach her some talents, I asked Huiju to call her to the leisure pavilion without thinking about it. I also asked Xiao Luzi and Xiao Rongzi to carry the original guqin.

I have already told Shen Xiyao that I am not good at this, so I just taught Haoyue, although Shen Xiyao doesn't like rhythm very much, but his accomplishments in this aspect cannot be underestimated.

Today’s sun is very strong, even if the leisure pavilion faces the lake and is backed by the pine forest, the sun’s rays have not reduced the heat.

Xiao Luzi and Xiao Rongzi standing underneath were already sweating profusely, but they didn't dare to wipe it obviously. I looked at the dazzling white light of the lake in the sun and sat quietly in the pavilion, with the guqin resting on me. The stone table beside him is not as precious as Luyi, but it is also a fine piano.

I dialed a few notes casually, and when I looked up, Hui Ju's figure appeared in front of me, but she was the only one.

I immediately understood. I blamed myself for letting Hui Ju go without thinking clearly. Now we are no longer who we were before.

For Haoyue, regardless of whether she knows that I helped her become this beauty or not, she had disappeared from that young lady before, and was replaced by the head of the sixth house of Zhenglong, a holy favorite.

I should have thought that everything changed from the moment he said "I said I knew who you are" in Kunning Palace.

Hui Ju stepped forward: "Niang Niang, Yue Meiren has been invited by Empress Liu to Zhaoyang Palace."

I nodded, looked at Hui Ju's somewhat angry face, and said with a smile: "It's so hot today, let's go back."

"Niang Niang," Hui Ju stepped forward as if she was about to finish her previous words, but I shook my head.

"I don't want to know." I said lightly: "Go back."

Hui Ju hesitated, but still stopped talking and followed me.

I walked slowly until I reached a beautiful place in the imperial garden. There was a burst of laughter, and I looked up to see the women I had met before, and some low-level concubines beside them, but It seems so happy.

Instead of stepping forward, I turned around: "Let's take the side road and go back." After speaking, I felt hurt.

Hui Ju looked over there and said, "Niangniang, this is the shortest way back to the palace." She looked at me puzzled.

I smiled, "I said that I was going to Wuling Spring, so let's go and see it today."

The orange-yellow daffodil crepe skirt on her body flows like smoke on the green grass with her footsteps, and a small golden bell makes a soft sound between her shoes.

As soon as I walked into the spring moon gate in Wuling, I saw two handsome figures sitting face to face by the blue water in front, playing a game of chess, and next to them were attendants a little further away.

"Dingling Dingling" I stopped, and the seven colored stone beads on my head collided with each other, and the two of them looked back at the same time. I saw two bright rays of sunshine pouring toward me, but my heart gradually became cold.

"See the emperor." I lowered my body slightly, and Shen Xiyao waved me and walked over, but Xihe immediately got up and retire. This is a rule, a rule that must be followed.

Shen Xiyao asked him to live and recuperate, so he retired.

I watched that Qing’s figure disappeared into a peony bush, and then I looked at Shen Xiyao. There was a chessboard in front of him. I glanced at it. The chessboard was killing incomparably high, but when I looked closely, I found that Heizi is at a disadvantage, but there is still a chance to turn around.

"It's not time for the concubines to come." I said with a gentle smile.

Shen Xiyao pulled me to sit across from him, where Xi He sat just now, and his remaining warmth.

I looked at the black jade chess box in front of me. There was a black stone in it. There was one on the side of the chessboard. I pinched it and held it in my hand. This was what he put down when he saw me coming.

I smiled at Shen Xiyao, he was a little startled there.

"The emperor," I said: "Since the concubine has disturbed the emperor's chess game with the prince, the concubine will accompany the emperor to finish the game."

After speaking, he took a look: "If the concubine didn't guess wrong, it should be the concubine."

After he said that he dropped the chess piece in his hand, a light flashed in Shen Xiyao's eyes, and he started playing with great interest.

I didn't beat him. I just finished the game according to Wang Yu's previous game. His chess power is not low, but it is not as steady and profound as Shen Xiyao.

At the end of the plate, Zhang Dehai served the newly arrived Huangshan Maofeng. I took a sip and it turned out to be a good tea with a fragrance like white orchid and a mellow taste.

Zhang Dehai took away the chessboard at the same time, and Shen Xi sat with me at the edge of the water. The wind blew slowly and took away the unbearable heat. I became a little groggy, and leaned against him and took a nap.

I don’t know how long I opened my eyes, and there is still the blue water in front of me, but the sun is slanting west, and the water is no longer dazzling with white light, but red and gold, and a crimson cloud is reflected on the water. The flying birds and the carp swimming in the water finally met in the shadow of the lake. I was already in his arms at this time. He held me softly, and I heard his murmur.

"If you were not the daughter of the Ling family, how good would be. I don't expect you to know, but I hope you understand. What should I do, what should I do."

The helplessness and sorrow in that tone was something I never thought would come from him as an emperor. I closed my eyes, puzzled, and a sourness also appeared.

After a while, I opened my eyes to look at him, with a shy smile, and it was not proper to fall asleep like this.

"The emperor," I gently called to him with blurred eyes, he lowered his head sharply, and smiled.

"The emperor, concubines..."

Before I finished speaking, he leaned down and kissed me lightly, and then smiled: "Wake up?"

After I said that, I pulled me up and I said "Oh," the colorful enamel hairpin on my head fell off, the golden light flashed, and the rest of the fixed hairpin also slipped off, and the long hair poured down.

I grabbed it with my hands in a panic, he just looked at me with a smile, and hugged it.

I was lying on the bed in the sleeping hall and looking up, I felt for the first time how ambiguous the red color was.

The golden thread embroidered dragon and phoenix in auspicious pattern, the vermilion was spread messily on the side, and his kiss was dense and fierce in the big red shark veil. His body was hot, and his hand gently stroked my body. I couldn't help but shudder, grasping his solid arm tightly, he trembled all over, and his breathing became short.

There are fresh ice cubes in the Dongnuan Pavilion, and the heat gradually dissipates after the sun sets in the west. Coupled with the cool air from the ice, it should have been cool.

However, in the sound of his heavy breathing, the sweat from his body dripped on my body drop by drop, it was boundless red at the extreme, and the dazzling golden phoenix, I closed my eyes and dizzy...

When the matter was over, he hugged me tightly in his arms, rubbed his chin against the top of my head and gently rubbed it. As soon as I raised my head, I saw the blazing light in his bright eyes.

He watched for a long time, and suddenly remembered something and laughed. I looked at him suspiciously, and he reached out and lifted the lowered bed curtain.

I exclaimed. The Dongnuan Pavilion was full of dragon and phoenix candles. The mahogany round table was filled with exquisite dishes and snacks. There was also a jug of wine with red thread wrapped around the glass.

I froze for a moment, tears rolling in my eyes.

These are the banquets that can only be enjoyed during the big wedding. This is the second time I have seen them.

He pulled me up and put on a magenta cloud silk bedclothes for me. Sitting at the table, he filled the wine glass himself and handed one to me. The bright red silk thread connects the other side with The same mutton jade cup in his hand.

We looked at each other and smiled under the swaying red candles in the room, and drank the best daughter red in the cup together.

"Who are you?" He asked me softly, and I raised my eyes and looked at him without answering.

He smiled, so softly, so pure.

"I have forgotten who you are, I only know that you are the fairy in my heart, the fairy who fell into the mortal world and was met by me."

My smile gradually disappeared, and I lowered my head, I couldn't tell what it was like. Everything is too late...

He stretched out his hand and lifted my chin. I turned away, but the tears on his face were nowhere to hide under the candlelight, and he was a little panicked.

I laughed abruptly: "The emperor, the concubine..."

He walked up to me and hugged me: "I decided to forget that you are the daughter of the Ling family, don't cry, don't cry, I couldn't hold you back before. It's really..."

He didn't go on, he didn't know why I cried.

I let him hold it, and for a while, the lights were so bright and red all over the sky, like the red flying all over the sky when I entered the palace.

After that, for nearly half a month of the night, he rested with me, and during this time, Xihe's injury slowly healed.

Occasionally we can meet in the imperial garden, and most of them are Shen Xiyao.

However, seeing him improve, my heart also let go. But I still send Xiao Xizi carefully every day to send him the medicine I quietly decocted.

The news of my holy servant Rilong also spread to the previous dynasty, and I heard that the momentum of the Ling family has reached its peak.

Fortunately, his father and brother were extremely humble and became more cautious in the courtroom than before.

The emperor did not quarrel with his father secretly as before. I felt relieved. I think my father must be happy.

Shen Xiyao came during lunch that day, and Zhang Dehai came to inform Xi He to see him shortly after sitting. Shen Xiyao looked at me, I smiled and retired, and stopped in the inner road only separated by a curtain of brocade.

"Brother Emperor," it was Xihe's voice. I saw from the gap, he had almost recovered, except that he was still a little thin, but his spirit was better.

"Brother emperor, the courtier is here to say goodbye to brother emperor." He said with a smile.

As soon as I tightened my hand, the mulberry silk veil on my hand was crumpled, and my nails were inserted into the palm.

"Is it bad to live in the palace? Your injury has just healed, so you should take more rest." It was Shen Xiyao's voice.

"My minister has lived here for too long." Xi He said: "It was an exception that the emperor allowed me to recuperate in the palace, but now it's almost better, so I should return to the palace."
