When we arrived at the front hall, the housekeeper came forward. He was a little surprised when he saw the little Jie'er in my hand. He quickly covered it up and said respectfully: "Prince Xian, Miss Bai, the prince is here with his servants."
After saying that the prince and the girl are here, we will go to Yousi Garden to attend the banquet. The banquet has been prepared and everyone has taken their seats, so we are waiting for you two."
I was a little surprised! Aren't banquets usually held in the main hall? Why was it changed to the courtyard...and why was it the courtyard where I lived before? I really couldn't guess what Xiao Yifeng was thinking, and thought to himself:
He must have remembered what happened before!
Xiao Yichen narrowed his eyes, looked at me blankly, then turned to the housekeeper and said, "Please hold the lantern in front of me!" After hearing this, the housekeeper took the lantern from the servant next to him and was about to leave when he turned back and asked: "
Do you want the servants to take the young prince down to wash himself first, so as not to dirty the girl's clothes?"
I was about to nod when the guy suddenly grabbed my clothes and cried loudly: "I don't want you to hug me, I want my mother-in-law..." The faces of the servants next to me changed, and they looked at each other, but they didn't reach out.
catch.
I could only sigh helplessly: "Forget it, let him go! Anyway, the prince is also there, so I will take him there. It won't be a problem. I just have to trouble the housekeeper to send someone to tell Concubine Ying to save her from worrying." I didn't wait for the housekeeper.
He answered and walked directly to Yousi Garden.
The night breeze was a bit chilly, and I couldn't help but tremble a little while holding Xiao Jie'er in my arms. Every time I took a step forward, my mind was spinning a thousand times.
Suddenly, an extra hand appeared on the wrist, and the warm temperature penetrated through the clothes, "Lin'er, I always feel that today's banquet is weird?" Xiao Yichen still asked the question in my heart.
I looked at the lantern in his other hand. The red flames were scurrying around under the paper fence. I chuckled and said, "It's okay. Even if he thinks of the past, he and I are just
It's over." I know what he is worried about? Indeed, I have thought that if Xiao Yifeng deliberately held a banquet in Yousiyuan because he remembered the past, the worst result would be that Yichen and I would leave here again.
Xiao Yichen didn't expect me to speak out so directly. He stopped and looked at me without blinking. I freed up a hand, took his hand, and walked forward generously. We didn't
I may have been able to escape for my whole life! If I had known what would happen soon, I would have regretted my current thoughts!
Although I was mentally prepared, when I walked into Yousi Garden, I was still shocked by the scenery I saw - various paper cranes were hung in the winding corridor, and the original flower garden had been changed into two heart shapes.
It was exactly the pattern I made with candles, with lilies planted in it, and the shape of the lilies in full bloom. At a glance, it was obvious that it was the word maple. Lin. Because the weather turned cold, transparent lilies were erected around the flowerbed.
There are several lanterns hanging in the four corners of the flower shed, and the fragrance of flowers floats faintly through the gaps in the flower shed. The whole garden seems to be soaked in perfume.
When Xiao Yichen saw the flower garden, his expression changed, and he pulled me out and said, "Lin'er, I suddenly feel uncomfortable, let's go back..."
"Yichen, you are finally here. We have been waiting for a long time." As soon as I came back to my senses, I heard Xiao Yifeng's voice rising in a medium tone. Xiao Yichen and I looked over there at the same time.
We saw Xiao Yifeng standing in the corridor looking at us with a smile in his eyes. The paper crane was blown by the wind and occasionally swept over the corners of his clothes.
I felt a sudden shock in my heart. I wonder how long he had been standing there. The little guy in my arms suddenly screamed: "Father..."
Only then did Xiao Yifeng realize his presence. She was stunned for a moment, then walked over, stretched out her hand and hugged the little guy, "Jie'er, how did you end up sticking to your future aunt?"
But the little guy said inarticulately: "I am the concubine, not the aunt..." He also turned to me and called out in a childish voice: "The concubine..." as if to prove what he said!
I smiled awkwardly and was about to explain. Xiao Yichen suddenly grabbed my wrist and said to Xiao Yifeng: "Brother, Lin'er is not feeling well. I'll take her back first. You talk to Zixuan for us."
Say something." After saying that, he pulled me away and I could only hurriedly nod to Xiao Yifeng and leave.
I know what Xiao Yichen is worried about? I am absolutely sure that Xiao Yifeng did it on purpose... He has a headache, why doesn't he keep losing his memory?
Xiao Yifeng looked at the hurriedly leaving figure, and the corners of her mouth turned into a nice curve - Although I didn't think of you, I already knew that you were her. Since it is something that belongs to me, how could I let it go to others? She murmured to herself
He said: "It belongs to me, Xiao Yifeng. Even if it is destroyed, my name must be engraved on it." He frowned, why are these words so familiar?
Xiao Yichen didn't stop all the way. When he entered the house, he picked me up and took me back to the bedroom. The housekeeper was startled and he thought something had happened. He said, "No one is allowed to go even half a step closer to this house without permission." He made everyone panic.
Everyone is isolated outside.
"Yichen, don't panic, those things may have existed since I left. Don't scare yourself." I said softly.
Xiao Yichen's eyes moved slightly and he said eagerly: "Lin'er, let's get married right away, okay?"
My heart skipped a beat, and I suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, let's get married, whenever Yichen says..." In fact, in my heart, I already regarded him as my husband. I have a marriage certificate in the 21st century.
Marriage may not be reliable, not to mention that in ancient times, there are no guarantees, only a ceremony. But for his peace of mind, I am willing to do it.
He hugged me tightly in his arms with excitement and breathed into my neck, "I will take you into the palace tomorrow to see your father, let your father preside over our marriage, and then leave here."
I still smiled and nodded.
A passionate kiss swept over me, filled with joy and expectation, but also uneasiness! I just responded enthusiastically to what he gave me, knowing that nothing I could say now would be redundant.
This night, there was no sound, only the affection between two people and the warm fragrance of the soft tent.
The next day, when I woke up in the morning, it was already bright.
Turning sideways, I saw Xiao Yichen hadn't woken up yet, with his eyes closed and breathing evenly. I reached out and traced his facial features. I seemed to like looking at him like this more and more, and seemed to feel at ease just looking at him... He was like this
The sleeping face of a baby makes my heart soft - there is such an excellent man who loves me so deeply, what else should I be dissatisfied with!
She came close to his lips and stole a kiss, then stood up and put on her clothes. She was no longer surprised when she saw the strawberries on her arms. These were the marks given by Yichen...
"You kissed me secretly in the morning..." A big hand suddenly appeared on the waist, "I want to kiss you back..." As soon as the words fell, their lips were already touching.
The sky is still gloomy and gloomy, making it difficult to see its true mood.
Today I am going to see the emperor again with whom I had a close relationship. Yichen said that he went to the palace to see him yesterday and his health seemed to be better.
Xiao Yichen and I were both dressed in white and sitting in the carriage, which reminded me of modern lovers wearing couple's clothes. I glanced at Xiao Yichen, and imagined in my mind what he would be like in the 21st century, with short hair, casual clothes or
It's a suit, what will it look like? I'm afraid it will be a disaster... thinking about it, I feel that my contribution is not small, and it has reduced the chance of sadness for a lot of girls, haha!
"Lin'er, what are you thinking is so funny?" A handsome face suddenly enlarged in front of me, with dark eyes shining with an unknown light.
The curve of my mouth became higher and higher, and I even felt a little proud. I put my arms around his neck and said, "I was thinking that if you lived in my time and space, you would be a disaster... And what about me? I did something.
It's a good thing that I took away this trouble from you..."
Hearing what I said earlier, he looked puzzled. Later he realized that I was teasing him again. He shook his head helplessly and sighed: "You must know that you need to be qualified to do harm..."
Before he could finish speaking, I laughed shamelessly, "Yichen, you are so immodest..."
A hint of red appeared on his fair cheeks. At this moment, the carriage stopped, and the coachman's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, the palace gate has arrived."
Xiao Yichen stretched out his hand to lift the door curtain, got out first, and then reached out to help me. He turned around and said to the coachman, "Just wait here! If I don't come out at noon, you can go back to the palace by yourself." He took me with him.
He walked toward the palace gate with his hand. The guard guarding the gate knew him and did not stop him. Instead, he was a little confused about me, a strange woman.
High wall, vermilion door, last time I came here was at night, this time it was daytime, I thought I would never step into this place again, but I came here anyway.
It happened twice because of two different people and for different reasons. I just don’t know if God will joke with me again this time.
The flowers are blooming in bright purple and red, but the leaves are a bit withered. The scenery of two seasons, spring and autumn, floods into my eyes. I don't know why these flowers bloom so brightly, it feels unreal...
Suddenly, a high-pitched voice sounded: "I would like to pay my respects to the prince. The Queen and the servant are waiting here and ask the prince to go to Yunfeng Palace."
Xiao Yichen and I stopped at the same time and saw an eunuch holding a whisk in his hand and standing aside with his head bowed. Xiao Yichen looked at me and turned his eyes slightly, "Lin'er, why don't you come with me to meet him?"
After you’ve passed your mother, let’s go see your father again!”
I was about to answer, but I saw another eunuch walking not far away. He seemed to be quite old. He walked up to us in a few steps and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the wise prince is here. Your Majesty has been talking about it this morning!
This servant should come and take a look." He looked sideways at me, his eyes were stunned for a moment, and then he said: "Your Majesty, please follow this servant to see the Holy One!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yichen turned to the little eunuch next to him and said, "You go back to the Queen first, and tell me that I will go to see the Emperor first, and I will go over to say hello later."
When the little eunuch heard this, his face was troubled and he didn't know how to speak. After all, the emperor is older than the queen. When I saw him like that, I thought that maybe the queen had something urgent to do with Xiao Yichen! He said to Xiao Yichen: "Yi
Chen, why don't you go sit with the queen first, and I'll go with this father-in-law to see the emperor, and you can come find me later."
Xiao Yichen was a little reluctant. After all, the older eunuch had stayed in the palace for a long time. He could still tell the clues. He hurriedly said: "Wise King, please go see the queen first! I will take this girl over.
Enough."
I nodded towards Xiao Yichen. He looked at me deeply and whispered in my ear, "I'll come to you soon." Then he followed the little eunuch. I followed the other eunuch. Let's go to the imperial study room as he said.
It took about twenty minutes to walk to get there. Chongqian Hall is different from other palaces I saw along the way. Although it looks gorgeous, it has a solemn atmosphere. The Imperial Study Room is to the left of Chongqian Hall. On the side, the eunuch opened the door for me and made a gesture of invitation, and I walked in without hesitation or fear.
The room was quiet, with the smell of sandalwood floating in the air. There were four long pillars in the hall, with several flying dragons carved on them, which were lifelike. The furnishings inside were very simple, including a large lacquered red desk and a wide backrest. The chair is covered with bright yellow cushions. There is a landscape painting behind the chair, which looks a bit like a curtain at first glance. The desk is equipped with all four treasures of the study. There are some small notebooks piled in the corner of the table, which should be historical memorials.
I glanced around and didn't see where the emperor was? Did the eunuch remember it wrong?
Just when I was thinking about hearing some noise, I looked up and saw the landscape painting turning like a door, and the emperor in dragon robes appeared in front of me. I couldn't react for a while - it turned out that it was not a curtain but a door.
"You...are you really the daughter of the Lord of the White Castle of the Fog Kingdom?" The emperor's questioning voice sounded in the palace.
I knew in my heart that he would ask this question. I raised my eyes to look him in the eye and was stunned. Is the sallow-faced and thin man in front of me the peaceful emperor I met more than a year ago?
When the emperor saw that I was just looking at him, he asked again: "Are you Yun Fengqing or Bai Xuelin?" His tone was already a bit harsh.
I came back to my senses and replied slowly: "Yun Fengqing is me, and Bai Xuelin is also me. I don't know if this answer is satisfactory to the emperor." I didn't intend to hide it when I came here. He will always know, or maybe he already knows. Well, it’s better for me to say it myself now.
The emperor was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that I would answer like this. He walked to the chair and sat down and said, "Then do you love Feng'er or Chen'er? You use two identities, which one is true?" His tired eyes He looked at me with his eyes shining brightly, like a banknote detector that scans counterfeit banknotes, trying to see through me.
I looked at the emperor, walked slowly and said calmly: "It's true both times, but the difference is: one is in the past, and the other is now. It's just that the depth of love is different, and it also proves that our fate is different."
The emperor's sharp eyes were always fixed on me, and he suddenly smiled and said: "It is indeed a different woman. No wonder Chen'er told me that I would not marry anyone except you in this life. If it were another woman, I would probably deny the previous relationship at this time. This is used to prove that you are committed to your current relationship until death, but you admit it generously. You have put your heart into both relationships...ahem..."
The emperor suddenly coughed violently. He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his mouth before hurriedly trying to put it away. Because he coughed so hard, his hands were shaking a little, so the handkerchief fell to the ground like that. I hurriedly walked over. I wanted to help him pick it up, but I was stunned - there were bright red blood stains on it.
"Your Majesty...are you coughing up blood?" I was so surprised that I couldn't speak smoothly. I had always heard that he was in poor health, but I didn't expect it to be so serious. Could it be a terminal illness?
The emperor tried hard to calm his breathing and said to me weakly: "Don't tell Chen'er and Feng'er..."
I blurted out: "Your Majesty, aren't you sick? Are you poisoned?" It's not like I haven't seen it on TV. For that position, anything can happen? It's just that he said not to tell Xiao Yichen and Xiao Yifeng. Could it be the two of them?
Who poisoned them? I shudder when I think about it. This is cruel. No matter who it is, I can’t accept it because he is their father!
The emperor seemed to be very tired and closed his eyes, and said quietly: "It's the queen."
I felt like I was struck by electricity, and then I heard the emperor say: "I know that Chen'er has no intention of power, but the queen is very ambitious, and I also know why she fights for power so much? It's just that so many years have passed, and I don't know.
I don’t blame her anymore, after all, I can’t say that everything I did back then was not wrong?”
My intuition told me that I shouldn’t listen to what the emperor said, but it felt like there was a thorn stuck in my throat, and I couldn’t open my mouth to stop it. Because of this past event, Yichen and I experienced it again—life and death!
