Hongli secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Mingyu had already done this for the Su family and Xianyue to help manage the affairs of the Sixth Palace. He didn't know what kind of trouble would happen if he handed over the fourth elder brother to Xianyue to raise him. "But besides Concubine Xian,
Besides, Concubine Zhe and Concubine Jia both have children, so I’m afraid they won’t have much energy to take care of the fourth elder brother.”
"Huang, the noble lady of Yi, has served the emperor for many years. Although she has nothing to do, she is a decent person and has an easy-going temperament. She never says anything even if she occasionally suffers a loss. It is quite rare. Why doesn't the emperor praise her? It will also make people in the palace more happy.
People understand what the emperor values most."
Huang's appearance was not outstanding, so she was never favored. After Hongli ascended the throne, he only made her a noble person. However, her temperament was indeed very good, much like Mingyu in the past.
Thinking of Mingyu, Hongli couldn't help but sigh again, lowered his eyes and said: "I know it, I will find a suitable time to make the noble lady my concubine, and then give my fourth brother to her to raise."
After saying a few more words, Hongli saw Ling Ruo showing a hint of tiredness and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, your wife is tired from traveling and traveling. Please rest early. I will come back tomorrow to pay you respects."
After Ling Ruo nodded, he exited the Cining Palace. On the way back to the Yangxin Palace, he recalled for no reason the letters he saw at Qingliang Temple that day. There was a thick stack of them. Most of them were trivial things at the beginning, and they seemed to be...
It was like whispering in the ear, making people feel warm. After the earthquake, the content of the letter began to become heavier, and she also wrote about the time she almost fell into a crack.
She said...at that moment, the person she wanted to see the most was herself. Is this true or false?
Thinking like this, his footsteps unexpectedly deviated from the direction of Yangxin Palace. It was not until he stood outside the gate of Yanxi Palace that Hongli noticed it. For a moment, he was full of complicated thoughts and didn't know whether he should go in.
While Hongli was still hesitating, the young eunuch guarding the palace gate had already seen him, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "This slave is paying your respects to the emperor. Good luck to the emperor!"
When he came like this, Hongli couldn't help but turn around and leave. He coughed and said, "Is Concubine Xian in the palace?"
"If you go back to the emperor, the master is inside. I will go in and report this." As he said that, the little eunuch hurried in. After a while, Xianyue's figure appeared in Hongli's sight.
"I have met the emperor, and may you be blessed." Xianyue's voice was trembling. She never expected that Hongli would come so soon.
"Get down." After a moment of silence, Hongli said again: "Concubine Xian, would you like to accompany me for a walk?"
Xianyue agreed and accompanied him out of Yanxi Palace. Along the way, neither of them spoke, only the sound of footsteps and wind filled their ears.
After walking like this for who knows how long, Hongli finally broke his silence, "Were the days after the earthquake very difficult?"
"It can't be said to be difficult, at least I'm still alive, isn't it?" Xia Yue's understatement made Hongli not know what to say for a moment. After a long time, he spoke again, "What about the earthquake? Huang Eniang said
You almost died at that time, what were you thinking at that time?"
Xianyue stopped and didn't speak. She just looked at Hongli quietly. The latter looked puzzled by her and said, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Xianyue chuckled and shook her head: "No, I just suddenly thought that if I were not from the Nala clan, and if the first impression I gave the emperor was not so bad, the emperor might have a little more trust in me.
It's a pity that neither my birth nor my mother can be chosen by me as a concubine."
Hongli said in astonishment: "Why did you suddenly mention this?"
Xianyue looked away, looking at the looming bright moon in the dark sky, and said softly: "Your Majesty has read my concubine's letter, and you should know what I was thinking at that time, but the emperor asked again. Obviously, for your emperor, I am
There is nothing trustworthy about me. Perhaps in the eyes of the emperor, even those letters may have been written by me on purpose."
Hongli didn't expect that she would be so sensitive. He thought of this just from his few words, and immediately said: "I never said that."
Xianyue withdrew her gaze, looked back at him with a smile and said: "It doesn't matter whether I have you or not. Indeed, it was my concubine who was not good at first. It is right for the emperor not to believe in my concubine. If there is a chance, I hope that I will be my concubine in the next life."
To be able to meet the Emperor again is not a plot or a plot, it is just a simple encounter, even if... it is just a passing by."
At that moment, Hongli couldn't take his eyes away. It was also at this moment that he saw a trace of purity in Xianyue.
It is really ridiculous to say that a woman with such a deep scheming mind would actually be associated with the word purity. It is really unimaginable. He must be dazzled.
Before Hongli could speak, Xianyue said again: "Is the emperor interested in hearing about my concubine's childhood?"
"Okay." When Xianyue spoke, Hongli's eyes kept falling on her, and in his mind, following those words, he saw Xianyue's slowly growing life.
Xianyue's life can be said to be a blessing or a misfortune. Fortunately, it is because she has had no worries about food and clothing since she was a child, and her food is even better than what she had at that time. Unfortunately, it is because Yingge is so doted on.
She, just because she has extraordinary thoughts and intelligence, can be used by Yingge.
"When I was a child, what I wanted most was to go out and play, especially in the south of the Yangtze River. I heard that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River was beautiful, even more beautiful than in the capital city. Unfortunately, Ama had been in charge of my concubine since she was a child, and she rarely even stepped out of the house; so this
I can only get a glimpse of the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River from books or other people's mouths. This time I accompanied the emperor's mother to Wutai Mountain for retreat, and I was able to see the scenery outside the capital."
"In the future, if I visit the south of the Yangtze River, how about I take you with me?" These words came out so quickly that Hongli didn't even have time to think about them.
Xianyue said in surprise: "Are you serious? Can you really take my concubine with you?"
Such undisguised joy made Hongli couldn't help but curve his lips and said: "A gentleman's words are hard to chase!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xianyue quickly bowed and saluted, with a lingering smile on her face. Such a smile also made the atmosphere between them much more relaxed, making it less awkward than before.
After walking like this for a while, Hongli said: "It's getting late. It's time for me to leave. You should go back and rest."
When Hongli was about to disappear, Xianyue suddenly ran up to him, stopped in front of him, and said nervously: "Your Majesty, can you give me another chance? I swear that I will no longer scheme or harm others.
Can you... give me a chance to start over?"
Hongli looked at her with a complicated expression, "It's not a plan, it's not harmful to anyone; Concubine Xian, can you really do it? Or is this a plan in itself?"
