The past is like running water
"Jun'er, you and the beautiful lady have not visited the Imperial Garden for a long time. Let's go and have a walk. Ruo Mian and I will talk again!" After dinner, the "little" imperial concubine began to drive people away. The high-sounding reason forced the prince to play with beauty. Could it be that she was still talking about her son's marriage?
At this time, the maid in the room had been completely dismissed. Concubine Xia stood in front of the window and twisted a slightly yellow leaf with both hands. At that moment, there seemed to be something different, but Ruo Mian couldn't grasp it at all, just staring at the slender hands in a daze.
"Miss Long" Concubine Xia smiled gently, and there was no innocence in her eyes. Apart from a little softness, all that was left was a faint feeling of fatigue. "Would you like to accompany me, the deep palace, to the garden?"
Of course, this garden is not the imperial garden with flowers, but a very small maple forest in the secluded place of the deep palace. Concubine Xia walked slowly, touching the rough tree trunk from time to time. She turned to Ruo Mian and smiled faintly, "I first entered the palace, and I looked at this maple garden here."
Ruo Mian followed closely, and the maids who accompanied him were also guarding the forest. I guess Concubine Xia came here often and did not bother her nostalgic thoughts. At this time, Ruo Mian pricked up her ears, this was definitely the most bloody and secretive royal gossip.
Concubine Xia twisted a half-red maple leaf, "After leaving, the people who guarded the garden were not very dedicated, and the good garden was ruined like this."
A pavilion appeared in the forest, with stone tables and benches in the pavilion. She walked over with some joy, brushed away the dead leaves on the table, and sat down, "I was a maid who had just entered the palace. I just wanted to survive the past ten years and return home, find an honest family, and marry."
Concubine Xia pulled Ruo Mian and sat with her, reached out to put the scattered strands of hair on her forehead behind her ears. "It's a pity! Until now, I don't know whether the encounter was my fate or my disaster!"
"I took a nap in this pavilion that day, and was sleeping sweetly, staggeringly approaching. When I woke up, the person who came was already standing in front of me." A trace of gentleness flashed in Xia Fei's eyes. "I have never seen such a handsome man since I was a child, but the darkness between his forehead was deep, his eyebrows were slightly frowning, his body was full of alcohol, and he was still holding a can of fine wine in his hand."
Ruofan's hand was being grabbed and a little pain came. Looking at the deep sadness in his sad eyes, he couldn't speak for a moment, but just held the soft jade hand between his hands and gently soothed.
"If I had escaped, I wouldn't have been like this today." I sighed deeply, and I couldn't tell whether I had more regrets or more melancholy. "That day, I sat with the sad man, watching him drink the jar clean, crawled on the stone table, and recited Hua'er over and over again. Perhaps, at that time, my heart was lost, and I threw it on the man who was thinking of others!"
Concubine Xia gave a bleak smile, which was even worse than crying. "Later, he often came here to drink, and I accompanied him to make some rough food for him to deal with. Later, I did the thing that I regret the most and the least regretful thing in my life. Later, I became pregnant with Jun'er. Am I too stupid? When I was pregnant with Jun'er, I still had no idea of that person's identity!"
"Empress!" Ruo Mian could only hold her hand tightly, but choked and didn't know how to say it.
"Our emperor, there is only the emperor of Concubine Hua in his heart. He was still the crown prince at that time. Concubine Hua had a low status. No matter how the prince begged, he would not allow Hua'er to come into the palace. For her, I was fortunate to meet the emperor."
"Fun, can I call you like this? I have never told anyone about this. Today is a devil." Concubine Xia smiled bitterly. "Do you know how the late emperor died? He was so angry that he was so angry that he was irritated by the prince and me. At that time, the late emperor's health was in bad condition. The crown prince pulled me, who was already pregnant with six Jia, and rushed into the Golden Palace, heading towards the civil and military officials in the court, claiming that he would not let him marry Miss Hua'er. He brought a woman to the hall every day, and they all had dragon veins. How confused!"
Ruo Mian couldn't help but sigh that this emperor was really ridiculous.
