Qi Kuan hurriedly said: "How can such a thing happen? The emperor just said it casually. There is no such thing at all. Why do you always keep it in mind?"
"You are right. It was indeed a casual remark, but it just expressed the truest thoughts in the emperor's heart." Facing the buoyao Zhichun picked up, she didn't even look at it, and stood up with difficulty to go to the inner hall.
As they walked, the shaky figure made A Luo and others worried.
After Xianyue disappeared, Zhichun said worriedly: "Master is like this, what should I do?"
A Luo shook his head and said: "Although the master has changed a lot over the years, his nature has not changed. He is still so stubborn. If the master had been willing to compromise just a little bit, he would not be in this situation now."
Qi Kuan said in confusion: "It's really strange. Master is not like this on weekdays. Why is it so unwise this time? It's like he has changed."
Zhichun sighed, stared at the Bu Yao in his hand and said: "No matter how rational and strong the master is, she is still a woman and loves the emperor very much. How can she accept that the emperor believes in Xia Qing but not her? Although the master does
He lied, but he did not intentionally deceive. The emperor should not be so arbitrary."
Qi Kuan said bitterly: "After all, it's all Xia Qing's fault. I won't just let this matter go."
A Luo glanced at him and said, "Don't do anything stupid. The emperor has decreed to make her a noble. In other words, she is already the master."
Zhichun said angrily: "What kind of master? She did such a despicable and shameless thing, how can she have the dignity to be a master?"
"Whether she is the master or not is not decided by you two. In short, during this period, you should not cause any more trouble, no matter how angry or unhappy you are, just bear with me. Do you understand?"
Zhichun and Qi Kuan reluctantly agreed, but after Xia Yue returned to the inner hall alone, her tears continued to fall like a kite with a broken string, soaking her clothes.
Hongli neglected her and doubted her so much that it was not worth shedding another tear for him, but she couldn't help it. If she didn't vent the pain in her heart through crying, she would go crazy!
Why did Amma want her to marry Hongli? Why did she fall in love with Hongli? Why did God play with her like this? How many evil things did she do in her previous life to deserve such retribution in this life?!
Imperial Concubine...how many people envied this position. Only she knew that without Hongli's trust and love, no matter how high her position was, it would be like a thin ice. If she could, she would rather trade her position as Imperial Concubine for a normal life.
happiness; unfortunately, she will never have this opportunity, because she will never be able to leave this splendid cage for the rest of her life!
In the past, she could deceive herself and others, thinking that Hongli was paying more and more attention to her, and that one day she could even surpass Mingyu's position in her heart; but today, Hongli said what was in her heart.
She is a concubine, a concubine who does not have an eight-carriage sedan chair or a famous matchmaker. She will never be able to surpass Mingyu throughout her life, even if Mingyu has harmed many people.
Every time she thought of Hongli's words just now, she felt disheartened, that's why she threw Bu Yao to the ground just now. This imperial concubine, she was really tired from what she had done.
That night, Xianyue didn't sleep at all, and so did Hongli, who was far away in Yangxin Palace. The dispute between him and Xianyue today kept repeating in his mind.
If Xianyue had been willing to admit her mistake just now, the situation between them would not have ended like this. Xianyue has always been so considerate, so why was she so unreasonable this time? It was obviously her deception that made the mistake first.
But he kept being aggressive, which was really too much.
Thinking about it, he was so doting on Xianyue these days, which made her forget her identity. It seemed... it was time to ignore her for a while.
In such random thoughts, Hongli fell asleep unknowingly, and he actually dreamed of the time when he saw Xianyue for the first time...
That year, Xianyue was only fourteen years old. She was not at Yunhua's best age, but she was already radiant and gorgeous. She stood out among hundreds of beautiful girls and was unforgettable. No wonder Hongzhou fell in love with her at first sight.
When he first saw Xianyue, he didn't show any abnormality, but he really had a feeling of surprise in his heart. Unfortunately, Xianyue was Yingge's daughter. No matter how beautiful she was, he wouldn't like her. What happened next,
It also wiped out the only trace of goodwill.
He thought that he would neglect her all his life, but he didn't know that so many things happened later. Mingyu, who once thought they could grow old together, left him early. Instead, Xianyue, whom he once hated the most, stayed with him for nearly two years.
ten years.
He dreamed about Xianyue when he was fourteen years old, and also dreamed about Xianyue when he was twenty-four, as well as the present and the future, but he couldn't remember the latter ones. He only knew that when he woke up, his face was wet.
If it's wet, I raise my hand to wipe it off, and my fingertips are covered with a layer of water stains.
Did he shed tears? Except for Mingyu's death, he had never shed tears in so many years. Why did he shed tears this time?
He was puzzled by this question. However, from that day on, he never went to Yanxi Palace again. The dispute between Xianyue and Hongli also spread throughout the harem. Yanxi Palace, which was originally bustling with people, suddenly became crowded.
It became deserted. In this palace, no matter how high your position is, the most important thing is always the emperor's favor. If you don't have the favor, you can't say that you are an imperial concubine, even if you are a queen. It has always been the same with those who are high and those who are low.
in this way.
Fortunately, the Huang family and the Hu family still went to the Yanxi Palace to pray for Xianyue as before. Unfortunately, no matter what they said, Xianyue was always taciturn, and she didn't even mention a word about her desire to rebuild the old relationship with Hongli.
Her appearance made the two Huangs more and more worried. However, apart from spending more time with Kai Xie, they could not think of any better way.
On this day, Zhichun was watering the flowers and trees in the courtyard. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure appearing at the palace gate. He looked familiar, but he didn't recognize it for a moment. Dingqing took a closer look and discovered that it turned out to be Xia Qing.
But today, she has changed out of the palace maid's clothes and changed into a gorgeous one. Her bun is also surrounded by beads and tassels hang down. She is dressed like a nobleman. On the little finger of her right hand, there are thin splints and splints.
Wrapped with gauze.
As soon as she saw Xia Qing, Zhichun was filled with anger. During this period, if she hadn't been afraid of causing trouble to her master, she would have gone to settle accounts with Xia Qing. Unexpectedly, she took the initiative to come to her door today.
Zhichun put down the things in his hands, walked up to Xia Qing who was talking to the gatekeeper, and said coldly: "What else are you doing here?"
Seeing Zhichun's attitude, the palace servant next to Xia Qing frowned and said, "How dare you talk to my master like this?"
