If time is always slow, why do you have to come so hastily at this moment? I am not prepared at all. Perhaps, this is God's will...
"Miss, why are you so dazed? Today is your birthday. It only happens once a year. Be happy." Xi'er patted my expressionless face and showed a sunny smile.
"I got it." The most heartwarming things are often always around you. Maybe you have missed too much inadvertently, so you want to hold on tightly.
The palace at night is like every time it makes a noise, and sheds the tears of beautiful women. In the depths of the night, it has the most contemptible ruthlessness of the world. The lanterns hung high, the bright lights are like the eyes of heaven, and they can see all the prosperity.
All you can see is desolation.
"Isn't the Emperor coming?" I hesitated, but finally asked.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty may be too busy today. Please help me to help you go to the main hall." Sumika paused for a moment, then held my hand tightly.
I smiled at her, my smile was pale, my smile was bitter, and it filled the three thousand harem with laughter.
The long red carpet has passed by so many beauties and achieved so many beautiful dreams. I walked carefully through it, as if I had walked through my whole life. Next to the tall phoenix chair, there was a familiar face, both close and far away.
, close before our eyes, but far away in the horizon.
"Yan'er." Meng Zihan called me softly, confused and deep.
There were two neat rows of long tables again, with hypocritical and unfamiliar faces. I couldn't help but groan in my heart for the rest of my life, until my eyes stayed on a familiar face, a face that made me overwhelmed, and he came too.
.
"Yan'er, what's your expression?" One night, I looked at the end of the long carpet quietly, and the glory of the past seemed like yesterday.
"Oh, no, I danced so well." I quickly came back to my senses and gave Meng Zihan a forced smile. Those sharp eyes penetrated everything, but they could not see through a woman's heart.
"Really? But why do I feel that it's still not as good as yours?" Meng Zihan seemed to do it on purpose, his lips were close to my ear, seemingly ambiguous and intimate.
My heart was startled and I quickly turned my head away. I glanced at Si Chen from the corner of my eye. He was sitting alone in front of a copper table in a muffled voice. He picked up a can of wine and kept bringing it to his mouth. There was no expression on his pale face.
.
At this moment, all the singers on the circular stage suddenly withdrew, and a white figure floated down on the stage like a fairy descending from the earth. The white gauze was flying all over the sky. Under the little lights, it was even more beautiful and unreal.
The whole place fell silent at the same time, and all eyes were focused on the little bit of white among the red. The woman's waist-length hair transformed into various arcs in the air, twisting and turning, elegant and natural, without any sloppiness, just right.
It is said that white clothes are better than snow, hair is like clouds, and clothes are fluttering...
Thunderous applause came one after another. I quietly looked at Meng Zihan, my eyes flashing with deep fascination. I couldn't take my eyes away. No one could see clearly except her...
"Ruo Yu meets the emperor, the empress." The veil slipped quietly at some point, and a pure, naturally beautiful face appeared in front of me. It made me tremble. There was no rouge or gorgeous dress, but she was so naturally beautiful.
, as beautiful as ice and snow.
"Get up." Meng Zihan was already smiling, and his eyes were dancing with two clusters of strange flames.
"Your Majesty." I called softly. This guy actually did it in front of so many people. He is such a nymphomaniac and is so disrespectful to me!
"Uh." Meng Zihan glanced at me hurriedly, and within half a second, he turned around impatiently.
"On the occasion of the Queen's birthday today, I want to announce an announcement." Meng Zihan paused, looked around, his voice was majestic and could not be challenged. Suddenly, there was silence below.
My heart immediately jumped into my throat, and I glanced at Ruoyu below, with a hint of pride in his seemingly calm face.
"General Wen's daughter, Wen Ruoyu, will be granted the title of Concubine Ruoyu from now on and will move into Xiyue Palace." The sonorous and powerful voice kept lingering in my ears.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Ruoyu smiled sweetly, her eyes were charming, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
What is this?! I am celebrating my birthday and she is concubine! Isn’t this humiliation? I took a deep breath and looked at Meng Zihan next to me expressionlessly. I always felt that there was something more in his eyes.
It was as if everything had been arranged long ago, and the look of anticipation and joy never escaped my eyes!
"Queen," at this moment, Meng Zihan called me quietly, his eyes filled with joy.
I understand that he wants me to say something to the world. One is to help him decorate his appearance, the other is to support Ruoyu's face, and the third is to fulfill my request by the way?!
I nodded and bit my lower lip tightly. Humiliation and unwillingness swelled in my chest, but I had to pretend to be an emperor. I hated him to death, but I had to pretend to be magnanimous.
"Ruoyu, from today on, you must manage the harem together with the Ai family." I looked at her absentmindedly and repeated the lines that had never changed on TV.
"Thank you, ma'am." She said nothing more and raised a pair of victorious eyes, which deeply shocked me.
At this moment, Xi'er suddenly poured a glass of wine. I knew she was reminding me to pay attention to the occasion.
Queen? This is the queen of a country. On the night of her birthday, she swallowed the humiliation hard, but she wanted to pretend to be the mother of the world. I held up the cauldron and faced Ruoyu. I was about to do it all, but I accidentally touched the blazing heat of the world.
With his infatuated eyes, his hand trembled, and the yellow liquid passed through the corner of the tripod and fell on his clothes.
"Empress." Xi'er suddenly took out a handkerchief, wiped off the wine stains on my body, and whispered in my ear: "Miss, this is the main hall."
"I'm sorry," I stood up intuitively, but found that all the ministers looked at me with strange eyes, especially Meng Zihan, with confusion and confusion gathering in his eyes.
"I'll give you a toast." I hurriedly took a few steps back, sniffed, raised the cauldron, and drank it all.
"Ruoyu thanks your Majesty for your love." Wen Ruoyu took the jade tripod from Meng Zihan and finished it in the same way.
…
"Miss, I don't think the emperor will come here today." Xi'er helped me stumble back to the palace, feeling extremely worried.
"Really? Ignore him." Feeling lost, I opened the bright red silk quilt and got in. However, I was helpless, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
The moonlight shone coldly into the dead tree outside the window, and slowly poured into the house, casting a cold light on my bed curtain.
I sighed, threw on a coat, quietly opened the door, and slipped out gently.
The night in the Royal Garden is always so beautiful, with stars blinking in the sky, and the flowers that competed for beauty during the day are now eclipsed in the dark night. I looked up at the stars in the sky, and unconsciously thought of what will happen thousands of years later.
World, Mom and Dad, how are you? Are the stars in the 21st century also so bright and cold?
With a heavy sigh, I quietly walked to a rockery and was about to sit down when two small voices rang in my ears:
"I heard that the emperor spent the night at Ruofei's house today."
"Isn't it? Today is the Queen's birthday. On weekdays, the Emperor loves the Queen the most." His voice rose slightly.
"Things are not what they used to be. You didn't see the proud look on Ruo Fei's face at tonight's banquet. It seems that the queen's situation is over." There was a small sigh.
"That's true. Your Majesty is really surprised. Why did you choose today to announce the news of the concubine? Doesn't this make it difficult for the Queen to step down in front of everyone?!"
"That's right. You don't know yet, right? I heard our empress say that Ruo Fei has quite a lot of background." Her voice was deliberately lowered a bit at this time.
