After hearing the sound of even breathing around him, Hongli left the inner hall quietly. He did not return to the Yangxin Hall immediately, but came to Yonglian's residence. The latter was sitting in a chair dejectedly, looking at
When he came in, he immediately ran up to him and asked eagerly: "Huang Ama, how is Huang's mother? Are you feeling better?"
"Your mother-in-law has gone to bed, and she should get better soon." After saying this, Hongli said: "Yonglian, please tell Huang Ama exactly what happened today.
One thing?"
Yong Lian narrated what he said. After he finished speaking, Hongli frowned and said, "So, you and Concubine Xian didn't know that your empress would come over?"
Yong Lian nodded and said: "Yes, if I knew that the emperor's mother would come, how could I dare to stay there anymore? The emperor doesn't like my son and my aunt to be together."
"Huang Ama understands. During this period, you should stay in the palace to accompany your empress and Concubine Xian... don't go there for the time being, okay?"
Hearing that he could not see Xianyue, Yonglian was a little sad, but he still said obediently: "Don't worry, Emperor Ama, I will listen to your words and take good care of Emperor Ama."
Hongli patted Yonglian's little shoulder and left Kunning Palace. It was already dark at this time, and the bright moon hanging high in the night sky cast a soft radiance.
"Your Majesty, are you going back to Yangxin Palace?" Faced with Sixi's inquiry, Hongli hesitated for a moment and said, "Go to Yanxi Palace."
Xianyue heard the report from the palace people and walked quickly to the courtyard. She knelt down and said to Hongli, "I, my concubine, have come to see you, Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be blessed."
Hongli personally helped her up, looked at her soft and flawless face under the moonlight, and said warmly: "Why don't you go to bed so late?"
"I can't sleep." After a moment of silence, Xianyue suddenly said: "Is the emperor coming from the queen?"
Hongli stared into her eyes and said, "It seems you already know everything."
Xianyue did not hide anything and said: "I do know something, but I don't know clearly."
Hongli raised his head and sighed, saying: "Yonglian's body was contaminated with cat hair, which caused the queen's allergic reaction to attack again. Fortunately, it was not serious. She will be fine after taking the medicine for a few days."
Xianyue breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak when she suddenly remembered something. Her whole body suddenly felt cold from head to toe. She trembled and withdrew the hand held by Hongli, and said in a trembling voice: "The emperor said this to my concubine.
, do you suspect that the Queen’s allergy is related to my concubine?”
Hongli said funnyly: "It seems that you really have no confidence in me at all." Under Xianyue's surprised eyes, he once again held Xianyue's slender hand and said sincerely: "I have eyes, I can see this.
It was an accident and has nothing to do with you. Can't you give me a little more trust?"
Xianyue stared at Hongli blankly, tears silently gathering in her eyes. The next moment, she nodded vigorously and said: "Well, I know this, and I will trust the emperor in the future."
Seeing the tears in her eyes about to fall, Hongli said domineeringly: "Don't cry, I like to see you smile."
Xianyue tried her best to push back her tears and said, "Well, I don't want to cry."
Hongli smiled, and after taking Xianyue to sit down, he said: "I am here, and there is one more thing I want to discuss with you."
Xianyue took the tea brought by Zhichun and served it to Hongli with her own hands, "If the emperor has anything to do, just ask him."
Hongli took a sip of tea and said: "Although the queen's condition is not serious this time, she is not so lucky every time. Once something happens, it may kill the queen. Therefore, I don't want any more cats in the palace."
The dog appears."
Before Xianyue could speak, Zhichun said in horror: "Your Majesty, do you want to kill Kaixin?"
"Don't talk too much." After Xianyue scolded her, she said softly: "I understand what the emperor means, but can the emperor let go and find a way out?"
Hongli shook his head and said: "I have no intention of killing it, but it is not suitable to stay in the palace anymore. I know that you have raised Happy for a long time and have feelings for it, but keeping it will always..."
Before Hongli could continue, Xianyue said: "I understand the emperor's painstaking efforts. I am very grateful that the emperor can spare Xin Xin's life. I will ask A Luo to send Xin Xin out of the palace early tomorrow morning.
.”
Hongli was very pleased with Xia Yue's understanding. If Ming Yu could be as considerate as Xia Yue, he would save himself a lot of troubles. Thinking of this, Hong Li couldn't help but sigh again.
Xianyue did not ask the reason for Hongli's sigh, but said: "I recently composed a new piece of music. Is the emperor interested in listening to it?"
After Hongli nodded, Xianyue ordered someone to fetch a lyre. After some adjustments, he started to play the tune lightly. When the first line was sung, "Gen Yue has moved rocks, and the ruins of thousands of years have many feelings."
, Hongli looked shocked. This poem was written by him. He never expected that Xianyue would compose it into music.
The faint sound of the piano, accompanied by Xianyue's singing, resounded throughout the Yanxi Palace. When the song ended, Xianyue smiled sweetly and said, "Does the emperor like the music composed by my concubine?"
Hongli came back to his senses, put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "I like it. This is the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard. It's just Xianyue. How could you think of composing my poem into a piece of music?"
Xianyue stood up and said with a smile: "Because I want to make the emperor smile. Regarding government affairs, I can't share the emperor's worries. I can only try to make the emperor happy."
"You are so weird." Hongli smiled for a long time before he stopped, caressed Xianyue's cheek, and said with emotion: "I haven't laughed like this for a long time, Xianyue, thank you."
"All this is what I should do. The emperor does not need to thank me. I only hope that the wind will bring good weather and the emperor can worry less. As for the harem..." She bit her red lips and said, "I am incompetent.
I have betrayed the trust of the Emperor and His Majesty."
Hongli took her into his arms and said warmly: "I know that you have tried your best, but there are some things that cannot be as satisfactory as expected, so you don't have to worry too much."
Xianyue didn't speak, she just snuggled quietly against Hongli's chest. This kind of warmth was exactly what she had been pursuing all her life. For this warmth, she was willing to accept no matter how many grievances she suffered.
That night, Hongli rested in the Yanxi Palace. After serving Hongli to the morning court, Xianyue said: "Zhichun, go and bring me happiness."
A Luo said from the side: "Master, are you really willing to give away your happiness?"
Xianyue sighed and said: "You also heard what the emperor said last night. Cats and dogs are not allowed in the palace. What can I do even if I don't want to let them go?"
A Luo said bitterly: "The Emperor is always frank about the Queen. If she hadn't suddenly come here yesterday, nothing would have happened at all. As a result, if anything happens, the master will be blamed."
Xianyue knew that A Luo was feeling grievances for her, and said with relief: "Okay, don't be so angry early in the morning. Besides, the emperor doesn't blame me, it's just..."
