Chapter Nineteen Enjoying the Bright Moon Together
But she really didn't understand why Hongli could deprive herself of her right to be a mother while whispering tenderly to her. How could he be so cruel?! Unfortunately, she was destined not to be able to ask these words, so she could only force herself to laugh.
Hongli said seriously: "As long as everything is fine, if you really feel uncomfortable, you must tell me immediately, you know?" After Xianyue nodded, he clasped his hands and said: "It's windy outside, come with me in
.”
Xianyue nodded meekly, and when the palace people closed the door, she said with some emotion: "It would be great if I could enjoy such a beautiful moonlight every day, and this sky full of stars, as simple as the most precious gems in the world.
.”
Hongli joked: "You have always liked Mingyue. I see you really want to be Chang'e."
Xianyue turned around and said with a smile: "There is no such thing. I just saw the bright moon in the sky and felt happy, so I just wanted to watch it for a while."
Hongli thought for a while and moved two chairs to the long window. After opening the window, he took Xianyue's hand and sat down together. "Since I like it so much, I will watch with you for a while. It's not too late now."
.”
Xianyue said in surprise: "I am really flattered that the emperor is accommodating me like this."
Hongli laughed loudly and said: "You are my concubine Xian. What's wrong with me occasionally accommodating you? When you say this, it seems like you are accusing me of treating you badly."
Xianyue said anxiously: "No way, the emperor has always treated my concubine very well." In fact, Hongli has treated her well these years, and she has been treated with a lot of favors, as he once promised, except for Mingyu
, no one is above her anymore, not even the Gao family. For example, this time, they are both third-grade concubines, but she is ranked before the Gao family and the Fucha family.
"Since that's the case, that's fine. I remember that when I was young, the Queen Mother told me the story of Chang'e and Hou Yi. Do you want to listen?"
Xianyue chuckled and said: "If you have the opportunity to listen to the emperor tell a story, there is no reason not to listen. The emperor should hurry up and tell it."
"You are impatient." Hongli cleared his throat and slowly told the story he had heard.
The story is as Xianyue knows. In order to become an immortal, Chang'e stole the elixir that belonged to Hou Yi and became an immortal. However, she soon regretted it because Guanghan Palace was just like its name, vast and cold.
Cold, without any warmth,
There was only a Jade Rabbit to accompany her. In the loneliness and boredom day after day, she began to miss Hou Yi, but it was too late to say anything at this time. She could never return to the mortal world and could only stay in Guanghan Palace.
Immortal, enduring the same loneliness.
After Hongli finished telling the story, Xia Yue, who was leaning on his shoulder, said with emotion: "Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, the blue sea and blue sky make her heart feel better every night."
Hongli shook his head and said: "Actually, Hou Yi had two elixirs, and one was originally reserved for her. Unfortunately, she was too impatient and took both of them together, otherwise she wouldn't have become like this."
Hearing this, Xianyue suddenly pursed her lips and smiled and said: "If the emperor has two elixirs, I believe that one of them must be reserved for the queen."
Hongli glanced at her and said in surprise: "Why did you suddenly bring the conversation to me?"
"I am just expressing my feelings. The emperor and the empress have a deep love as husband and wife. No one can compare with it. I have always been envious of this relationship."
Hongli said calmly: "Instead of envying others, it is better to be yourself. Besides, I told you not to go with Mingyu..."
Before he could continue, Xianyue said: "I know better than to compare myself with the Queen. I just said it casually, but the emperor took it seriously. Do you think I am such an unreasonable person?
If you really don’t like to hear it, I’ll just stop talking about it in the future. I understand very well that no matter what I do, it’s not as safe as the queen’s. The emperor doesn’t need to remind me again and again.”
Seeing how wronged she said, Hongli felt soft in his heart and said: "How could I ever say such a thing? You really think too much. I said that no one can surpass you except Mingyu."
Xianyue sneered in her heart, but her face was moved as she said: "With these words from the emperor, I will have no regrets even if I die immediately."
"Okay, if you say the word "death", it won't be unlucky." He paused and said, "Are you tired? If you are, just go and rest."
Xianyue bit her lower lip and said, "Concubine, can I watch you for a while longer?"
Hongli caressed the side of Xianyue's face and said, "Of course, you can watch it as long as you want, I'll stay with you."
In this way, the two of them watched quietly until the bright moon climbed to its highest point and the sound of the third watch sounded outside. Hongli yawned and said: "Xiangyue, can you go to bed?"
After waiting for a long time, Xianyue didn't respond. He looked sideways and saw that she was sleeping soundly on his shoulder. Hongli smiled and shook his head and said: "It's good for you, just fell asleep like this, regardless of my sore shoulder."
Not sour.”
Si Xi stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, why don't I help Concubine Xian to the couch?"
"No need, you can go out." After sending Sixi away, Hongli sighed for no reason, raised his hand, and stroked Xianyue's clear and jade cheeks under the moonlight over and over again, his eyes filled with guilt.
Back then, in order to bring down Yingge, he went to negotiate with Xianyue, and finally made her turn against him and help him get rid of Yingge. But in the face of this woman who could even betray his own mother, he had to be on guard. So,
Although she and Xianyue were in the same room, she secretly ordered Shuiyue to mix a musk-scented rouge, namely Yan Shuangfei.
When Xia Yue used this rouge for the first time, he praised the smell of the rouge. After applying it, his skin tone was even and delicate, which made Xia Yue very happy. He has been using this rouge for several years.
Rouge. Little did they know that it was this Rouge that made her unable to conceive a child for so many years.
Apart from him and Shui Yue, only Ling Ruo knew about this matter. As for Qian Moduo, he only knew a little about it and didn't know the specific matter.
In fact, it is not that he has not seen the changes in Xianyue over the years, especially after Xianyue sacrificed her life to save her, he was greatly touched. But no matter what, he could not change the fact that she was from the Nala clan.
Moreover, he knows very well that Xianyue is a very capable and capable person, otherwise she would not have become his side. Although she has been very contented over the years, that is because she has no children. Once she has a child,
She would want more things, such as the position of Crown Prince, or the current position of Crown Prince.
However, the Qing Dynasty cannot be inherited by a prince with Nala blood, no matter how outstanding the prince is, it will be useless.
