Chapter 1063: I’ll take you back to the Northern Desert
Logically speaking, the East Palace should be filled with pavilions and palaces.
But in the northwest corner of the back garden of the East Palace, there is a very special place.
The house was newly built in the style of an old Beijing courtyard house, and it didn't have any of the splendor and splendor that the buildings in the imperial palace should have.
And in the yard, there is a greenhouse that looks out of place.
Naturally, vegetables such as cucumbers, eggplants, peppers, potatoes, and tomatoes are grown in the greenhouse.
At this moment, a pretty little girl is watering the tomatoes.
Xu had been busy for a long time, and glistening beads of sweat appeared on her face.
She raised her hand and gently stroked her temples, then squatted in front of the wooden frame and looked at her tomatoes quietly.
Because of this greenhouse, even if the weather outside is cold, the inside will not be affected at all.
Green fruits have also grown on the tomato stems.
She raised her hand and gently touched one of them, feeling the plant's vigorous vitality, and a smile appeared on her face.
And this little girl is naturally none other than the former Northern Desert Princess, Wuyou.
As one of Li Chengqian's maids, when Li Chengqian comes to the East Palace, she will naturally come too.
However, she is also different from ordinary maids.
Li Chengqian never let her wash or do anything to him.
Moreover, no one in the palace or around Li Chengqian would force her to do this or anything.
She is completely free and can do whatever she wants.
Of course, for her, nothing compares to the vegetables in this greenhouse.
Whether it's winter or summer, she likes to get into the greenhouse and watch the seedlings grow.
And the most amazing thing is that she can do this kind of boring thing for a whole day and never tire of it.
Just when Wuyou was staring at the tomatoes.
Li Chengqian didn't know when he had quietly come behind her. >
Seeing that Wuyou was looking at her seriously, Li Chengqian did not disturb her and just stood quietly behind her.
I don't know how long it took, but Wuyou finally came back to his senses.
She also felt that there was someone behind her.
And without even thinking, she knew who was behind her.
So, she immediately asked: "Why are you free today and why are you here?"
"Let me tell you something."
"I have already agreed with my father that I will go to the Northern Desert after the Chinese New Year."
Li Chengqian put his hands behind his back and said, "Do you want to go with me?"
She stood up straight and asked with surprise on her face: "Are you really taking me to the Northern Desert?"
"certainly."
Li Chengqian raised the corner of his mouth and said, "By the way, I'll take you to the previous farm."
"I heard that a lot of people have gathered somewhere now."
"Not only has the field expanded three to five times, but the light industrial base has also expanded a lot."
"Nowadays, many indigenous people who used to live in the northern desert land have gone to find work to make a living."
Li Chengqian looked at Wuyou and said, "They will be very happy when they see you."
Wuyou is the princess of the Northern Desert after all.
Although those people have now joined the Tang Dynasty and become the New Tang Dynasties of the Tang Dynasty.
But people are nostalgic.
As former Northern Desert people, they would definitely be very happy to see their former princess.
However, Wuyou doesn't think so.
"That's what you're talking nonsense about."
"When I came to Datang, I was only nine years old."
"It's been ten years now. How can anyone still recognize me?"
As he spoke, Wuyou's expression looked a little lonely.
Of course, this kind of loneliness is not due to the subjugation of the country, nor is it due to yearning for one’s former identity.
It's a feeling of being out of place, a kind of loneliness that is not accepted by others.
As the princess of the Northern Desert, her status is extremely noble.
Even now, as one of Li Chengqian's personal maids, no one dares to bully her.
But equally, because of her identity, she is inevitably hated by the people of the Central Plains.
Although some words were not said to her face, she could see those cold and distant eyes very clearly.
If asked a few years ago, she really wanted to go back.
Because that is her home, that is where her family and her tribe are.
Wherever I live, at least I won't receive such blind looks.
But it's different now.
She grew up and figured it out.
Because of her status as the princess of the Northern Desert, she was destined not to return to the original residents of the Northern Desert.
She understood that once she went back, not only would it be difficult for her to save her own life, but even those close to her would be implicated...
"Instead of causing trouble to others, it is better to cut off those thoughts as soon as possible."
She pursed her lips gently and said, "I'm afraid, they really don't want to see me anymore..."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh.
He could feel the loneliness and loneliness in Wuyou's heart, but there was no way, he couldn't solve this kind of thing.
"Anyway, that's where we put our efforts."
"Now that we have time, we should go back and take a look."
"I can tell you, that place It’s really good now.”
"I even heard that last year someone applied to the imperial court to build a new city there."
Li Chengqian looked straight at Wuyou and said with a smile: "Besides, those things you are struggling with are all made up by your own imagination..."
"You are just a woman. No one will take you seriously, let alone set their sights on you."
"Besides, am I not by your side? Even if there is any danger, I will stand up to protect you."
"Whether it's in court or outside, no one will say anything about you."
Li Chengqian said: "Even if there is, I will protect you. This is my promise to you."
It was already obvious where he meant this.
He was telling Wuyou, don't be afraid, I'm here.
Hearing this, Wuyou looked up at Li Chengqian, his eyes full of unspeakable meaning.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh.
He said: "To be honest, I really miss the carefree and heartless Wuyou before..."
At that time, she didn't think about anything all day long, she just thought about eating, drinking and having fun.
But now, her whole person was so melancholy, as if she was a flower that might wither at any time.
To be honest, Li Chengqian didn't like her being in such a state, and he also felt very guilty.
After all, he was the one who brought this flower that bloomed in the desert back, but this flower was about to wither before his eyes.
How can this make him feel at ease?
When Li Chengqian was looking at Wuyou, Wuyou was also looking at her.
Seeing the concern on his face, Wuyou chuckled: "If you want to go back, I can accompany you to go back and have a look."
After saying that, Wuyou asked again: "But is it really convenient for you to take me there..."
