On New Year's Eve, Xiao Xue was absent from the palace dinner.
Her high fever subsided and she was awake. The imperial doctor told her not to blow the wind. Zhao Che asked Ruyi and Luzhu to take care of her carefully and did not let Xiao Xue attend the banquet. This day happened to be the day when Cheng Mubai was crowned king, so Xiao Xue had no choice but to miss it. Her body couldn't bear it.
, and she was in a bad mood, and didn't want Yun Buhui and Cheng Mubai to notice the clues, so she chose to stay in Weiyang Palace without leaving home.
Xiao Xue was lying there bored, so she asked Luzhu and Ruyi to come over and play hostess to accompany her to relieve her boredom.
Luzhu's needlework was not done well, and her needlework was not as beautiful as Ruyi's. The two of them were exchanging ideas while embroidering. Seeing that Ruyi was good at needlework, Xiao Xue couldn't help but smile and asked, "Ruyi, who taught you your needlework?"
It’s so good, but I can’t learn it.”
Ruyi said, "It was taught by my previous aunt. When we first entered the palace, my aunt taught us all these things. Over time, we became familiar with them. Your Majesty does not need to know how to be a naughty girl. Whatever you want, just tell the slaves."
Xiao Xue thought for a while and said, "I will embroider myself. You can teach me how to embroider purses."
Luzhu joked, "Is the empress going to embroider it for the emperor?"
Xiao Xue frowned and glared at her, "Talk too much!"
Luzhu snickered. Zhao Che and Xiao Xue had an argument again. They were not worried anymore because they had had arguments so many times in the past year. The most frequent times were loud thunder and small raindrops. They had also seen Zhao Che.
When I was even more angry, I didn't worry much about Xiao Xue, thinking that it would be fine in a few days.
Ruyi was worried that Xiao Xue had poor health and could not use her powers. Xiao Xue said it didn't matter, since she was idle anyway, so Ruyi sat over and taught her how to embroider purses. Xiao Xue thought about it and chose bright yellow silk thread.
Ruyi and Luzhu laughed secretly. Xiao Xue also felt that she was a bit idiotic. Just when she was about to change the thread, Ruyi said, "My dear, just trust your first choice."
Xiao Xue had no choice but to give up the idea of changing the silk thread.
The palace was very lively on New Year's Eve, with the sound of firecrackers everywhere. Zhao Che looked at the bright fireworks in the sky and couldn't help but wonder, what is Xiao Xue doing at the moment? Sitting alone on the high dragon chair, he felt really lonely.
He preferred to have Xiao Xue, the interpreter of words, next to him, but unfortunately... Thinking of Xiao Xue, Zhao Che felt depressed. She was too willful this time, and he could no longer indulge her.
In this life, there are very few things that belong to him, and he spent half his life to get this dragon chair.
Things are so hard to come by, let alone people.
No one has ever belonged to him, only Xiao Xue. Although this woman was not the girl he wanted to spend his whole life with at the beginning, she is the girl he can't let go of the most now. She got angry and wanted to go back to Beijun, which made him unable to
accept.
Whether Xiao Xuen is angry or hateful, it must be where he can see it and where he can touch it.
He couldn't bear Xiao Xue's escape, let alone Xiao Xue's alienation.
Indifference is the greatest torture to him.
Zhao Che looked at the fireworks in the sky and thought of the day they got married. The sky was also filled with fireworks. He was looking at the fireworks in the sky and the bride slowly walking away. What he was thinking in his heart was, what if the person he married was...
Yun Buhui is so good. He admitted that this idea was a bit naive, but that was what he thought at the beginning. Now he looked at the fireworks in the sky and thought about how he could coax her to stay.
Xiao Xue is very stubborn. Every time they quarrel, she is always the first to bow her head. That is because she feels that she cannot bear it anymore, so she will come back to him. He is always waiting for her, but once this girl becomes stubborn, he
If he doesn't go to see her, she really won't come to see him.
This time she was also very insistent. Why did she mind Yun Buhui so much? They had been innocent from the beginning. Now it was even more impossible. Even if it was possible again, he would not give up on Xiao Xue.
So why would she mind Yun Buhui? Zhao Che really didn't understand.
A woman's heart, a needle under the sea.
Now he just wants to end this boring banquet, return to Weiyang Palace, and see if his Xue'er is bored and bored alone. He wants to accompany her, even if she doesn't give him a good look, it doesn't matter to him.
Cheng Mubai was crowned king today and officially became King Xuan. There were countless people chatting with him. Yun Buhui just smiled faintly from the side and occasionally talked to Lin Wan'er. She would socialize when anyone came over, but she would sit quietly if no one was around.
.
Zhao Che looked at her. Now that everyone is happy, when will the knot in Xiao Xue's heart be eliminated.
What should he do to eliminate the knot in her heart?
Zhao Che left the meeting midway. Everyone knew the love between the emperor and the empress. The emperor was bored sitting alone on New Year's Eve. Moreover, he was in a bad mood tonight and the ministers did not dare to talk to him. Sitting there was really boring. As soon as he left
, everyone felt more at ease. Zhao Che slowly returned to Weiyang Palace alone. He walked very slowly. The closer he got to Weiyang Palace, the more panicked he became. Xiao Xue had never been so cold to him.
Never.
Even if they quarreled, Xiao Xue would always be sullen and angry, and would not be so indifferent. Is she really sad? Zhou Zheng reminded Zhao Che that it was cold outside, so don't stand for too long. Zhao Che turned to Zhou Zheng and asked,
"What do you care about, my queen?"
Zhou Zheng hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Your Majesty, what the Empress cares about is nothing more than the Emperor's concern. Just be nice to the Empress."
"I'm not good enough for her?"
Zhou Zheng didn't know what to say, and Zhao Che became even more silent, "Forget it, let's go back to the Yangxin Palace."
After he walked for a while, Zhou Zheng finally couldn't help but remind him, "Your Majesty, according to the rules of the palace, you have to stay up late with your empress tonight."
Zhao Che stopped. It seemed that this was the case. There were such rules in the palace. Zhao Che then turned back to Weiyang Palace, and this time walked a little faster. Li Ming and Zhou Zheng couldn't help but secretly think that with the rule of justice,
The reason for coming to Weiyang Palace is to see how happy the emperor is.
When Zhao Che returned to Weiyang Palace, Luzhu and Ruyi were already outside. They were about to salute when they were stopped by Zhao Che. Ruyi and Luzhu did not communicate with each other. Zhao Che entered the inner hall, and Xiao Xue was alone on the bed reading some letters.
Worried, Zhao Che stepped lightly and did not dare to disturb her.
Xiao Xue was too lost in thought to notice Zhao Che. When she suddenly turned around and saw Zhao Che, her face changed and she couldn't help but hide the letter in her hand behind her back. This was Xiao Xue's subconscious action. How could she have thought that Zhao Che would suddenly appear in such a cover-up manner?
The action made Zhao Che squint his eyes, and his soldier's intuition made him feel that this matter had something to do with Beijun.
Zhao Che hated betrayal the most in his life.
Xiao Xue looked normal, but her palms were covered in sweat.
