On a bright spring day, on the rockery in the Longyang Palace Garden, dozens of women in palace attire gathered around the rockery, looking nervously at a woman in white palace attire on the rockery. The woman held her chin in her hands, looked up at the sky, and washed her eyes.
Her clear and bright eyes were full of innocence, but also full of confusion and panic. She ignored everything around her and just sat there quietly.
"What should we do? If the queen falls, we will have to suffer again."
"Yes, why are we sent here to guard Concubine Yi, a lunatic, and Cui'er isn't here? What if..."
"Shh, you are crazy. If Concubine Yi hears it, why don't you..."
"What are you afraid of..." The speaker chuckled disdainfully, "The imperial doctor said that Concubine Yi has gone crazy since her miscarriage. She is a lunatic who doesn't know anything. She only knows how to play around all day long. No matter how much the emperor loves her,
, so what, the power in the palace is now in the hands of Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhen. I think this is her fate, a concubine, huh..."
"Yes, Concubine Yi had a dragon seed at that time, but, look, she didn't have the fate to give birth to the child in the end. I don't know why the emperor doted on a crazy concubine like this..."
The palace maids gathered together in twos and threes, and seemed to see that the stables on the rockery were safe and sound. They sat there obediently and stopped moving. They were mostly relieved, thinking that there would be no problem, and started chatting.
It wasn't until a palace maid saw Yi Fang standing up suddenly, as if he was about to jump off the rockery, that she screamed in surprise.
"My dear, my dear, please don't move!"
Although Concubine Yi is in the palace now, she has nothing but the imperial favor. Even this imperial favor is not very stable. After all, she is a crazy imperial concubine! But as long as the imperial favor is still there, these slaves like them
, if you fail to serve well, it is a serious sin.
The originally careless palace maids and eunuchs stood up one after another and ran towards where Yi Fang was standing, trying to stop this dangerous move.
Yi Fang opened her eyes wide and looked at the crowd below with confusion, as if she didn't understand why her random action could cause such a commotion.
She raised her eyes, and the smile on her lips was as childish as that of a several-year-old baby. Facing the chorus of screams from the people below, she pointed at the purple dress that was getting closer and closer in the distance, and then pointed at the self in the sky.
There were birds flying high. I clapped my hands and jumped and laughed like a child: "Birds, fly."
"My dear, you are not a bird, you cannot fly."
Almost ready to cry, the maids, eunuchs, and guards huddled together, and the smile on Yifang's lips became even brighter.
Seeing the bird with colorful feathers above her head flying higher and farther, Yifang suddenly wanted to chase it. She leaned forward, soared into the air, and fell straight down.
"Empress!"
"Yifang!"
Countless people rushed over and tried to catch him, but none of them were as fast as the bright purple figure. A flying dragon passed by. After a moment of panic, Xia Jie tremblingly hugged Yi Fang in his arms.
"See the Emperor."
The palace people were so frightened that they trembled all over. They did not take a good look at Concubine Yi, and almost made Concubine Yi fall from the rockery. The emperor saw her with his own eyes. They were afraid that they would not be able to live without death today.
But what can they do? Guarding the crazy but beloved concubine Yi is simply the most difficult job in the palace. There are dangers everywhere, and from time to time, they have to be wary of the concubines who come to look for trouble.
If Concubine Yi was able to move freely in the past, now it is really difficult for slaves like them to resist the wind and frost swords of those masters, and they will be in vain to offend the concubines who may be favored in the future.
Xia Jie ignored the shouts of the people around him. When he came down from the top, he saw her jumping from the rockery. His heart almost jumped out of his chest. He didn't want to try it again because of the pain of almost losing her.
"Bird, fly up, Xia Jie, I want to fly."
Yi Fang, who seemed completely undecided about the tense atmosphere around him, was held in Xia Jie's arms, pointing at the birds in the sky and smiling happily.
Xia Jie looked at that face. The woman who was once so transparent and smart was now so childish and like a fool. Xia Jie felt a pain in his heart. Was this his retribution? He was worried that his child would become a fool.
, threatened Yifang's status and forced Yifang to leave him, so Yifang finally survived, but lost all his memory, lost all his mind, and became an idiot, like a toddler.
But no matter what it becomes, it is still his Yifang, the Yifang that makes him heartbroken. Moreover, today's Yifang needs his care and his caution even more. Yifang cannot make any mistakes, so
Yifang could only rely on him, otherwise, how could Yifang survive in this palace.
Suppressing the sourness in his eyes, Xia Jie kissed Yi Fang's forehead, smiled and coaxed: "Okay, okay, I'll take Yi Fang to see the birds, and I'll take you to fly again tonight, okay?"
Yi Fang raised her delicate chin, thinking of the joy of being held and flying on the eaves of the palace. She happily pursed her lips and kissed Xia Jie's lips. Her eyes were as bright and transparent as water, brimming with joy.
.
"Okay, Xia Jie is the best."
The elegant breath rushed to his face, endlessly sweet. Looking at Yi Fang's cheerful smile and the sincere joy in his eyes, Xia Jie suddenly hoped that the woman in his arms would never wake up. He wanted her to continue like this and be happy forever.
Even if she is not the smart Dou Yifang, and she is not the woman he once thought could stand by her side, he would rather protect her and guard her than let her think of the past and hate him.
Yifang, my Yifang, if one day you think of the past, will you still feel that Xia Jie is the best person for you? Will you wish to stab my heart with a sword?
If that day comes, Xia Jie is waiting for you.
The complicated light flashed away, and Xia Jie held Yi Fang firmly in his arms, smiled at her comfortingly, and coaxed: "Then let's go eat first, okay?"
Have a meal?
Yi Fang frowned and pursed her lips. She had to drink bitter medicine to eat. She lowered her head with reluctance on her face.
"If you don't eat, you'll be bitter, black, and unsightly."
Xia Jie shook her gently and coaxed her patiently, "Yifang, be good, I can't fly with you if you don't eat. You have to eat before you can fly."
Yifang frowned and thought for a while, his brows furrowed together. After a long time, he shook his head unwillingly and said, "Fly a little longer."
Xia Jie smiled softly, put their foreheads together, rubbed each other, and said in a hoarse voice with infinite affection: "Okay, let's fly longer."
Only then did Yi Fang smile again, hugging Xia Jie's neck, and shouted happily, "Walk quickly, walk quickly, eat, and fly."
Xia Jie followed her, his charming face was full of smiles, not a trace of displeasure, he hugged her and walked back with a smile, talking to her patiently as he walked, the garden was filled with the cheers of the two people
Laughter.
Li Fu stayed behind, watching Xia Jie hugging Yi Fang as he walked away, and dealt with what Xia Jie had just indicated with his eyes.
He lightly glanced at the people kneeling and trembling on the ground, and said gloomily: "It was your blessing to choose you to serve Concubine Yi, but now, it is your own way of thinking."
"Sir, have mercy on me, have mercy on me."
There was a sudden cry for mercy. Li Fu looked at these people and sighed secretly. He also knew how the people in the palace looked at the master now, but none of these people understood that in the emperor's heart, Concubine Yi was the one.
The real treasure, whether he is crazy or stupid, even if he is lying half-dead on the bed, the emperor will hold Concubine Yi close to his heart. Especially, after going through those things, Concubine Yi will change.
With the situation like this, how can the emperor tolerate anyone who doesn't take Concubine Yi seriously?
These people who can't see through it still don't understand that the emperor's will is the real power in this palace.
"Drag him down and kill him with a stick."
Li Fu finished his words lightly and took a few steps to catch up with Xia Jie. The whining, struggling and crying behind him were all left behind him and gradually disappeared into the dust.
"Eat this, not that."
At the dinner table, Xia Jie sighed and twirled his chopsticks as the tables were constantly changing. Now, every day when eating, he would guard the table and coax him to feed him, and then he would take a few bites. But this
He did everything with pleasure. No matter how picky Yifang was, she was his most beloved woman.
"Don't want this, don't want this."
Yi Fang stared with big eyes, holding a mouth full of food, looking at the chopsticks of vegetables that Xia Jie stretched to his mouth, and shook his head vigorously.
"Yifang, have a taste, just have a taste."
"No, no."
Xia Jie had no choice. The imperial doctor said that Yi Fang should eat more vegetarian food so that her weak body could recover sooner. Meat alone could not help her regulate her body.
The vegetables on the table, whether vegetarian or meat, are all carefully prepared, and they are also treasures with great medicinal properties, but Yifang still doesn't like to eat them, which makes Xia Jie worried.
Seeing Yi Fang stubbornly shaking his head, Xia Jie could only coax: "Yifang is good, just one bite. After eating, we will go flying."
"No, no, no!"
Yi Fang suddenly struggled violently. With a wave of her hand, she knocked the chopsticks and bowls in Xia Jie's hands to the ground. With a crisp sound, everyone in the hall was startled and knelt on the ground.
Yifang seemed to be frightened, and felt that she had done something wrong. She did not dare to look at Xia Jie, lowered her head, locked her body, and sat there, her brows full of stubbornness.
Xia Jie took the brocade handkerchief on the floor from the palace maid and slowly wiped his hands. From the corner of his eye, he saw Yi Fang peeking at her from time to time. He couldn't help but raise his lips and threw the brocade handkerchief back into the palace maid's hand.
He stretched out his big hand and hugged Yifang in his arms.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not angry."
The warm breath calmed Yi Fang's fear. She raised her eyes and timidly said, "I, I don't want to eat, don't be angry."
Seeing such careful eyes, Xia Jie's heart tightened, but he smiled and kissed the corner of Yi Fang's lips. Seeing the faint blush on Yi Fang's face, he leaned against Yi Fang's ear and said slowly: "Yifang
Be good, don't be afraid of me, no matter what you have done, don't be afraid of me, I will never hurt you again."
As if being bewitched by Xia Jie's gentle whispering emotions, Yi Fang met Xia Jie's eyes and repeated confusedly: "Don't hurt me?"
Xia Jie held back the stinging pain in his heart and smiled: "Yes, I will never hurt you again."
