Autumn has been a sad and lonely time since ancient times. If my background asks me to enter the palace a few more times, I feel that I will not be able to survive this autumn...
What my father meant was: "Go, of course you have to go. This is the decree given by the Queen Mother. Don't you want to disobey? Even if you want to disobey, you have to worry about whether everyone in Prince Heshun's palace, old and young, is willing to risk their lives with you."
Even if they are willing, then——"
What my mother meant was: "Otherwise, why don't you ask Jiang Huai to predict the good or bad luck for you when you enter the palace?"
I went to see my master in melancholy, wanting to ask him for some life-saving tips.
The master stroked his gray beard with his hand and gave me four words of mantra: "Talk less, smile more."
I thought about it, just because I am so stupid, it is not very difficult to handle. But when the Queen Mother recruited me to the palace, nine out of ten things were easy, and there was one that even though the hit rate was low, it was not necessary.
If you don't mind, that means - find me a husband.
When the Queen Mother got older, she especially enjoyed the pleasure of being the matchmaker for Yue Lao. If I had talked less and laughed more at that time, and if I was regarded as being reserved and acquiescing, I would have been hopeless for the rest of my life.
Therefore, I decided that when I enter Longtan this time, I will observe the six directions with my eyes, listen to all directions, and take one step at a time.
…
The sedan stopped outside the palace, Sanyuan pulled my sleeves to wipe away my tears, "Princess, you must be careful."
She exuded the aura of a little widow crying in her grave. I couldn't even ignore it, "Just wait."
Who would have expected that as soon as I stepped into the palace, Eunuch Wu would already be waiting for me to enter the urn, "Princess Xiyuan, this servant is following the emperor's order to take you to the imperial study room."
I had long expected that the road ahead would be difficult and dangerous, but I never thought that before I had even taken one step, the dangers would hit me! From here to the Queen Mother's Shoukang Palace, you have to pass through rockeries, small forests, pavilions, waterside pavilions, and in short, it is the road to move the rescue troops.
It's still too long, and I will probably be broken into the hands of my uncle today.
Seeing that I was speechless, Eunuch Wu said to me again in his extremely awkward voice: "The emperor has sent a servant to report to the Queen Mother, so the princess can rest assured and just go with the servant."
"The Queen Mother... didn't say anything?"
"What can the Queen Mother say? Princess, please stop worrying too much. I will not be able to bear the displeasure of the Emperor Long Yan later."
No words can describe my broken mood at this moment. I no longer believe in any background.
I have a hunch that the news that I was sent to the royal study room by the emperor will reach the Heshun Palace faster than a horse carrying military information. I now place my hope on my mother to leave the card table to burn incense and pray for me, but
…I guess there’s not much hope.
Passing by autumn trees, stepping on pebbles, and walking through corridors thousands of times, I get closer to my uncle with every step I take.
My heart finally started to beat faster than expected. I swallowed my saliva and asked Eunuch Wu for some spoilers, "Eunuch, the emperor wants me to go...what do you mean?"
Eunuch Wu's old face was full of sincerity, "Princess, the emperor is looking for you, can there be no good thing!" It seems that there is nothing good!
Entering the royal study, a bright yellow seeped into my spiritual orifices, and my heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys all trembled in unison.
It's my uncle.
My uncle still maintained his majestic power. He was reading a copy of "National Theory" in his hand. His whole face showed no expression at all, as cold as a bowl of cold water.
"Your Majesty, the princess has brought you here."
Eunuch Wu whispered a few words into the emperor's ear, and then bowed and retreated, leaving me and the parrot on the bird stand staring at each other...
He didn't speak, didn't give me a seat, didn't say anything, and ignored me. My uncle was the best at playing cold and violent games. He wanted me to scare myself to death. I just stood there obediently and watched my uncle drink three cups of tea.
After turning through eighteen pages of the book, he still didn't look at me.
