As the night grew darker, Ye Liyuan stood up and left.
He had never thought about getting her. Many times, Bai Qiqian wondered whether she was not beautiful enough, or whether it was because Ye Liyuan just couldn't do it.
Ye Liyuan often hired people to sleep in Furong Hall, but he also stayed in Suoqing Hall a few times. He hugged her gently and slept well all night. He had never wanted her.
Watching his figure walking away, Bai Qiqian sighed alone.
She is the emperor's favorite, and the things inside her head can completely increase the combat effectiveness of his army a hundred times. Her training methods can train him an iron-blooded army that will absolutely obey orders.
It's a pity that she was obsessed with sticking up, but this man just didn't buy her account. Bai Qiqian understood that it was very difficult for a strong person to trust someone, but she treated him with all her heart and soul, and he was still there
What are you hesitating about?
Forget it, Ye Liyuan is her demonic barrier to Bai Qiqian, and she can't get out even if she wants to.
Just because she likes it, she becomes blind.
Bai Qiqian looked a little melancholy, sighed, and returned to her room. Yu Jin and Zi Yuan looked at each other, and then looked at the tightly closed door.
The weather in early summer was already a bit hot, and the dull air added a bit of depression. Bai Qiqian had not been in a good mood these past few days. She woke up early in the morning, dressed up, and walked around the palace.
Ziyuan followed her and kept telling her some messy little things in the palace to make her smile.
I was walking around casually, but I heard a noise coming from the front.
This place is far away from the main palace of the palace, and also some distance away from the other courtyards of several concubines, but few people come here.
A sharp voice reached Bai Qiqian's ears: "If you want to climb a high branch, go by yourself. Why did you come to me? You are shameless. You went by yourself. Why did you drag me with you?"
The corners of Bai Qiqian's mouth turned up slightly, and she said to Ziyuan: "On weekdays, I don't like to hear people quarreling. However, I'm bored today, so I can watch a show for free."
Speaking of going to the theater, Bai Qiqian thought of Ye Ruochen. He seemed to like to join in the fun and cause trouble. However, there was a sense of danger in that man's whole body, so it was better not to provoke him as much as possible.
Zi Yuan pursed her lips and smiled: "Actually, many maids and maids in the palace often quarrel over trivial matters."
Bai Qiqian and Ziyuan took a few steps closer, and saw a woman wearing emerald green clothes on the path, pointing at an aunt and scolding: "You told him to give up, even if I become a nun, I will not do it."
I don’t want to marry him as my concubine.”
The aunt pulled the woman in green and said, "Say, Shaoyao, why are you so angry? Aren't I thinking about you? He is the steward of the other courtyard over there. You will be lucky to marry him as your concubine."
"
Shaoyao said: "I'm so lucky. Why don't you marry him? What are you doing here with me?"
The aunt said: "Shaoyao, if you marry him, you will be regarded as the wife in charge of Mrs. Chujing's yard. That status is not comparable to that of a maid doing chores today. How can you extrapolate such a good blessing?"
"
Shaoyao smiled disdainfully: "Mrs. Chujing? Are you trying to deceive me? Who doesn't know that Mrs. Chujing has been neglected by the prince for three years? What good fortune can you get from her?"
The aunt glanced at Shaoyao with her triangular eyes: "I am your aunt, can I still deceive you? In a few days, Mrs. Chujing will return to the palace."
Shaoyao was startled and seemed a little unbelievable: "Mrs. Chujing is coming back?"
The aunt let out a "shush", raised her triangular eyes, and looked around: "Please keep your voice down, Manager Li revealed this matter to me. He said that the prince has relented in the past few days and promised to let Mrs. Chu Jing return to the palace.
"
Shaoyao's eyes were not as sharp as before, and there was a bit of a smile on her face: "It is a very happy thing that Mrs. Chujing has regained favor now."
The aunt immediately said: "When Mrs. Chu Jing comes back, won't Manager Li also be working in the palace? If you marry him as a concubine, it won't be a very honorable thing. Why are you hesitating now?"
The smile on Shaoyao's face grew thicker: "Auntie, you are right. But I do find it a little strange. Mrs. Chujing has lived in another hospital for three years. Why did the prince let her go back to the palace?"
The aunt said with some embarrassment: "You don't know, the prince will go to the other courtyard to see Mrs. Chujing every once in a while. I heard from Manager Li that the prince occasionally takes Mrs. Chujing to play, and the two of them are together.
I feel so uncomfortable."
Shaoyao became more and more confused after hearing this, but she was still very happy: "Does Manager Li even know this?"
The aunt looked around again: "Guanshi Li is Mrs. Chujing's confidant, so naturally she knows something. Okay, Shaoyao, do you agree to marry Guanshi Li as a concubine?"
Shaoyao's face was full of joy: "I'll just listen to my aunt on this matter."
Bai Qiqian walked back calmly, walked through several courtyards, and then asked: "Ziyuan, I haven't seen Mrs. Chu Jing since I came to the palace. It turns out she lives outside."
Ziyuan knew that Bai Qiqian wanted to ask about Mrs. Chujing, but she didn't know much. She hesitated and said: "Princess, Mrs. Chujing is the concubine that the prince took three years ago. She has always been favored by the prince.
.”
Bai Qiqian nodded: "I know this."
In the memories of Princess Fuyao, Mrs. Chujing was also mentioned. Three years ago, Ye Liyuan became a beauty in anger, referring to Mrs. Chujing.
Ziyuan continued: "The prince doted on Mrs. Chujing for about two months, and then news spread that Mrs. Chujing was not well. After that, the prince sent Mrs. Chujing to a separate courtyard to recuperate."
If Madam Chujing was really ill, why not ask the imperial doctor to treat her instead of sending her to another hospital to recuperate?
What happened in those two months?
During her three years in the other hospital, Ye Liyuan often visited her. Does this prove that Ye Liyuan has some feelings for her?
However, what makes Bai Qiqian even more confused is whether Mrs. Chujing returned to the palace this time to win favor or for what purpose? What purpose did she bring when she returned to the palace?
Bai Qiqian knew very little about Mrs. Chujing, so it seemed like she had to find someone who understood her to ask clearly: "Ziyuan, how much do you know about Mrs. Chujing?"
"Princess, this servant has only been in the palace for a year and doesn't know much about Madam Chujing."
"Then if there is anyone in the palace who knows more about it, go and find it for me. I want to ask carefully." No matter what the purpose of Mrs. Chujing's return to the palace this time, Bai Qiqian had to be on guard.
Ziyuan looked a little embarrassed: "Princess, I'm afraid this matter won't be easy to handle. When I entered the palace, the housekeeper mentioned it. There is a rule in the palace that we cannot discuss Mrs. Chujing's affairs."
They actually made a special rule that they were not allowed to discuss Mrs. Chujing's affairs.
Bai Qiqian became more and more curious about Mrs. Chu Jing, and she squinted her eyes, her vision dark.
In the afternoon, Ye Liyuan sent his maid to ask Bai Qiqian to go to the main hall and have dinner with him.
Ye Liyuan was very silent, looking at Bai Qiqian with eyes that were sometimes soft and sometimes complicated. An inexplicable emotion was brewing in his eyes. This atmosphere made Bai Qiqian feel uncomfortable.
At this time, a woman with a graceful posture walked in from the outside, looking at Ye Liyuan with a pair of clear eyes: "Chu Jing would like to say hello to the prince, and say hello to the princess." The voice was like an oriole coming out of the valley, crisp and melodious.
Her face was beautiful and as elegant as a narcissus. She stood there quietly, feeling a bit like a lonely fairy.
Ye Liyuan kept looking at her, and his eyes were not the lingering love that the aunt mentioned before, but a touch of coldness and hatred. The emotions in Chujing's eyes were complicated and sad, and he said again: "Liyuan, you
Are you still angry with me?"
Ye Liyuan snorted coldly: "I thought you would come back after a few days, but I didn't expect you to come so quickly."
Chu Jing lowered his head, with tears in his eyes.
Bai Qiqian was eating by herself, her expression was as usual, but the doubts in her heart gradually deepened.
After a long time, I heard Chu Jing say helplessly: "Li Yuan, are you still unwilling to listen to my explanation?" He was so sad and sorrowful, as if he had suffered endless grievances, how could he even have the word "sorrow"?
Ye Liyuan sneered, and in a flash, there was a hint of joking in his eyes, and he said word by word: "Chu Jing, what are you talking about? Why are you in the mood to joke with me today?"
Chu Jing looked at Ye Liyuan blankly, tears falling from his eyes: "Liyuan, I..."
Ye Liyuan turned his head, took a piece of brocade fish to Bai Qiqian, and said with a smile: "Qianqian, come on, this is your favorite brocade fish, I specially asked the chef to make it for you.
"
Bai Qiqian smiled sweetly: "Yuan, I am so touched."
Mrs. Chu Jing bit her lip, turned around, and walked out of the main hall.
Ye Liyuan forced a smile at Bai Qiqian, then leaned on the chair and closed his eyes.
Bai Qiqian looked at his sad side face. The midday sun shined through the window lattice and fell on his side face, as if sprinkled with a layer of light golden powder. However, this beautiful color was
There is an indescribable gloominess.
Bai Qiqian's voice was a little cold: "I am your princess, but like an outsider, I watch you and them perform one scene after another, inside and outside the scene, like a fish drinking water and knowing whether it is warm or not."
Ye Liyuan opened his eyes, his face was still as pale as jade, and his eyes were complicated.
Bai Qiqian's heart felt cold, the bitterness in her heart spread to the corners of her mouth, and a forced smile appeared: "But, I still know that I don't like eating broccoli."
She is looked down upon by others, but she only wants to live a life that is admired by all people.
But I never expected that falling in love with Ye Liyuan would be so humble. However, I was willing to be so humble. Thinking about it carefully, I felt a bit ridiculous.
No one can say for sure about love. Maybe one day, she will stop loving you.
