"Cen Xue, Cen Xue, open your eyes and look at Gu, clearly who is the person in front of you?" He Lianzhi was afraid of her sudden departure, so he forced her to open her eyes and look at him.
Cen Xue opened her eyes with tears in her eyes, but the outline that caught her eye was the pain in her heart. She regretted it so much. She seemed to be going home, to the home that belonged to them five years later.
"Don't cry, don't cry, eh? I promise you that as long as it's what you want and what you like, no matter how difficult it is, I will try my best to give it to you, okay?" He Lianzhi has never been positive.
It seemed like he hadn't thought about the answer to her question yet.
Cen Xue pushed with her small hand and opened the distance between the two, but because his arm was as strong as steel, it was still impossible to break away from his arm.
Helianzhi noticed that she was beginning to resist his little movements, and he hugged her tighter. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes. Did she really want to leave his side?
"Xue'er, Xue'er, Gu won't let you leave. You won't be allowed to leave Gu for the rest of your life. You never want to leave Gu, never even think about it -" He Lianzhi shouted out the sweet nickname in desperation, making Cen Xue
My mind searched through the scenes of the night of farewell, and my whole body froze in his arms, as if there was no life left.
Helianzhi's face was filled with unprecedented worry and anxiety. What happened to her? What happened?
"Xue'er, Xue'er..." The calls and shouts never stopped in her ears.
Cen Xue looked at him blankly, caressing the familiar cheek in front of her with her little hand, and asked him again tremblingly: "In your heart, is Cen Xue just like other people, just a woman who waits for you to sleep with you? Is that possible?"
None, right?"
"Shut up - Gu doesn't allow you to say this. In Gu's heart, you are unique. You are Gu's Xue'er and Gu's treasure. Gu will always only love you." This time, Helianzhi did not.
He remained silent, but could his words move Cen Xue's heart?
He Lianzhi hugged her nervously, and when he saw a disappointed look in her eyes, his heart dropped a lot.
For a long time...
Cen Xue packed up her broken mood, looked at him with a pair of red and swollen eyes and asked: "Zhi, do you love me? The kind of love that comes from the heart, the kind that wants to protect me forever, guard me
Love, the kind of love that lasts for two people for a lifetime..."
Meeting her serious eyes, Helianzhi pecked her lips and answered her seriously: "Xue'er, we have only been together for a day. If Gu has made any vows to you now, it is all
I’m lying to you with sweet words. Whether you love me or not can’t be expressed in just a few words or a sentence. When we get along for a long time, you will naturally be able to feel it without having to say anything.”
Cen Xue looked into her eyes and listened to his heartfelt words. Indeed, she was too anxious. She always compared him with him. Little did she know that although they were the same person, they had experienced the same thing.
In the course of time, he lost five years.
Nodding, she gradually stopped sobbing and accepted his words in her heart.
"Promise me not to cry anymore. Let time prove everything, okay?" He Lianzhi seemed to be a different person, and he actually had such a tender side.
"Well, Cen Xue promises you." A smile finally appeared on his face.
The stalemate between the two was finally broken, and Helianzhi felt that his whole body relaxed a lot. He had lived for more than twenty years, and he had never been so stressed that he couldn't breathe like tonight.
"Zhi, will you kiss me?" Cen Xue held his cheeks with both hands and asked him expectantly.
He Lianzhi raised the corners of his mouth, making an arc, and pressed her red lips gently. Cen Xue's slender white arms hugged him back. It turned out that only an emotional kiss could allow him to find the lost pleasure.
"Hmm..." The lips touched each other, making each other's temperature rise again. The union just now had no soul at all, it was just a body, so Helianzhi didn't feel anything at all.
"Xue'er, I want you..." A familiar request rang in her ears, and she nodded gently, with a shy smile on her lips.
The shy smile finally returned to her face. Helianzhi was delighted and worked harder so that the two of them could fully realize the true meaning of love this time!
The sky was bright and He Lianzhi was still by her side. He did not go to court for two days, which made the ministers question and condemn Cen Xue one after another. But in the midst of this questioning and condemnation, He Lianzhi came to court the next day.
Let Zhao Changde draw up a decree to make Cen Xue his concubine and move into Yilan Palace!
Yilan Palace, as soon as Cen Xue heard these three words, she immediately frowned. Why did it have to be Yilan Palace? This reminded her of Bai Bingxuan and the incident where she poisoned herself.
It will never be forgotten for a long time.
"Fool, it doesn't matter if you don't like living there, but this imperial edict has been issued, so naturally it cannot be changed at will. However, you can live in Xingqing Palace and stay with Gu Xiang, okay?" Helianzhi's beloved
I hugged her, thinking that she would like Yilan Palace, but I didn't expect that when I heard about Yilan Palace, I saw a stiff look on her face.
"Well, then Cen Xue will stay here and occupy your palace!" With a bright smile on her face, she returned to her usual appearance after last night.
As for the matter of He Lianjue, Helianzhi didn't mention anything last night, nor did he ask her. No matter what the relationship between the two of them was before, in short, now Cen Xue is his woman, Helianzhi. This has become a fact, no matter what
No matter how unacceptable it is, nothing can change it!
Rumors about Cen Xue spread in the palace, and she became the number one figure in the concubines' beauty plots. Helianzhi knew the darkness in the harem, so he kept her in Xingqing Palace and sent Suzaku to protect her in the future.
By her side, whenever she goes out, she must be protected at all times.
"I have seen Concubine Xue." A palace maid about seventeen or eighteen years old knelt in front of her.
Cen Xue looked at this girl and thought of Wen Qing, Wen Xing and Mingyue, but they must be only eleven or twelve years old now, and they don't know if they have entered the palace. They are so young and can't serve here as servants. I really miss them.
"What's your name?" Cen Xue is very friendly to everyone around her, and the same goes for this new palace maid.
"My name is Lan Qi'er. She is the maid sent here by Eunuch Zhao to serve the empress personally." The girl raised her head and looked at such a close look for the first time at the Concubine Xue, who was rumored to be a hot topic in the palace.
Lan Qier has been in the palace for so many years. This is the first time she has seen such a beautiful woman. No wonder the king favors her. I heard that this master treats his servants very well. Now she will have a good life in the future, haha
!
She felt happy in her heart and put a smile on her face. Cen Xue looked at this girl and she was quite smart. She might as well stay with her in the future.
"Qi'er, please get up. I will call you Qi'er from now on." A friendly smile appeared, and this smile deeply reflected in Lan Qi'er's heart.
"Slave, thank you for your love." There were so many people vying to come and serve Concubine Xue. She originally thought that such a good thing would not happen to her, but when she saw those sisters fighting, Eunuch Zhao actually picked her, which made her
It's really unexpected.
Zhao Changde is the chief eunuch in the palace and is in charge of the allocation of eunuchs and maids in the palace. He has a bright eye when it comes to selecting palace maidens to serve Concubine Xue. He has paid attention to Lan Qier for a long time.
When she arrives, she is smart and capable, can endure hardships and is not nagging, so it would be most suitable for her to stay by Xue Fei's side and serve her.
Since I haven't gone to court for two days, there is naturally a pile of memorials piled up in the imperial study. It's hard to find someone to share them with, which is a headache.
Helianzhi was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study. Cen Xue was the only one in the Xingqing Palace. Looking at the beautiful weather outside, she couldn't sit still in the room: "Suzaku, let's go for a walk?"
"Where do you want to go?" Suzaku was ordered to be by her side to protect her.
"There's no place to go in this palace. How about we go sit in the small pavilion in front of the lake and bask in the sun?" Cen Xue knew that the harem now only had a few concubines and beauties who were not favored.
There are no small number of women, and all of them are favored by the king. She cannot take it lightly.
Ask Suzaku about everything and she will be well prepared.
Zhuque nodded and asked Lan Qier to bring some fragrant tea and fruits. It was hot outside and would help relieve the heat.
Cen Xue came to the small pavilion from five years ago again. Except that it was relatively new, there was basically no change. The lake was still so calm, and the breeze blew gently, still carrying a faint fragrance of flowers.
"Hey, today I finally got to see my sister's true face in Lushan. She is indeed a powerful figure in the country. No wonder she is so obsessed with the king that even the government has been abandoned." Cen Xue looked towards the source of the voice and saw three women in gorgeous clothes.
Walking towards her, the person speaking was the woman in red who was leading the way.
Cen Xue didn't want to guess, these three women must be a few flowers in Helianzhi's harem, right?
Suzaku walked up behind Cen Xue vigilantly, bent slightly and reminded her in her ear: "The one in red is Concubine Chen, and the one in blue and green behind her are Hua Meiren and Zhang Meiren respectively."
After receiving Suzaku's prompt, Cen Xue nodded understandingly, stood up politely, and waited for them to enter the pavilion.
Looking at each other, Cen Xue looked at the three of them. The two women behind them all obeyed Concubine Chen's words and were not in any danger. She just looked at Concubine Chen's proud look. Who did she think she was? The queen?
"Whether the king goes to court or not is beyond my control. If the king doesn't want to go, I will have to use a broom to drive the king to the court. If it were you, would you really drive the king to go to court?
Are you going to court?" Cen Xue was not to be outdone, she was a modern woman, how could she be defeated by just a few words from her.
Concubine Chen had a fierce look in her eyes. She had long wanted to give this woman a slap in the face, but today the king canonized her as his concubine. Now they have equal status. She is the king's new favorite recently. Now even the king's
Suzaku, one of the four great guards, was by her side waiting for her orders. She had no choice but to endure it now!
"Sister, I was just joking with you. Don't mind, sister. The king's dragon body is the most important thing!" He said with a smile, but this was a common thing in the harem.
Cen Xue was not in the mood to pay attention to her. She sat back on the stone bench, picked up a cup of fragrant tea, and took a slow sip. She did not look at the others and did not look at them at all.
Concubine Chen looked embarrassed. She didn't expect this woman to be so arrogant. She stared at her with an extremely ugly face and said again without hesitation: "My sister is so happy today, why are you alone here watching the lake?"
Where has the king been?"
Cen Xue hates this woman more and more, doesn't she feel any conflict with what she said before and after?
"The king went to the Imperial Study Room to handle government affairs after lunch. I don't want to be thought of as a beauty who is a nuisance. I pester the king all day long!" Cen Xue didn't even look at her when he spoke, as you can imagine.
You can see her expression.
These words made Concubine Chen's face turn green and red. She didn't expect that this woman would speak so inappropriately, which was simply inappropriate. If she continued to chat with her, she would definitely be driven crazy by her.
"Oh, I think the weather is too hot. It's better to go back to the palace to enjoy the cool air. Sister, please take your time." Concubine Chen found an excuse at random and left quickly, followed by the two beauties who followed her.
He leaned down and followed her.
"A nest of snakes and rats!" These are the four big words Cen Xue gave them.
