Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen

The whole body is sore, and people are sometimes sober and sometimes confused.When I am awake, my thoughts drift away, and when I am confused, fragments flash in my mind from time to time.The eyelids seem to weigh a thousand catties, and they cannot be opened no matter what.There was a soft sigh in my ear, and my heart was shocked, and I felt his cold hand caressing my forehead.I gave up opening my eyes, and I was afraid that after opening my eyes, I would find that all this was my illusion again. His hoarse voice came from next to my ear: "Ruoxi, did I do something wrong?" Hearing Ruoxi's voice, the pain like tearing my heart and lungs attacked my body and mind again, and my body trembled slightly, as if I was in the cold winter. at night.He scratched my hair with his fingers and muttered: "Ruoxi, do you really want to leave the palace and leave me again? Don't you like our yard?"

The cool hand slid down his face spontaneously, and he continued: "Ruoxi, maybe you don't know how scared I am, afraid that what I gain will be lost again." Hearing this, he could no longer restrain his emotions, and his throat He choked up, and tears flowed silently from the corners of his eyes.The hand caressing my face trembled slightly, and then wiped away the tears on my face and said: "Don't torture yourself any more, and don't let those who pity you hurt anymore, the day we are together will come eventually." Said Get up and go out. Opening his eyes, looking at the yellowish candlelight, his body seemed to have a little warmth.Thinking about his words carefully, these words seem to be comforting and reassuring.Looking at the top of the tent, concentrating on thinking, he secretly blamed himself.Based on what happened these days, if he didn't recognize it, how could he have his life lying here safe and sound.

"Even if it is ugly, it must be true", the words of the past are still in my ears.After thinking about it for a while, I felt relieved, no matter what the reason was, since he had promised that we would definitely be together, there was nothing to be afraid of.Thinking of this, the worries in my heart disappeared in an instant.Once again, I despised myself in my heart, when I actually became sad and happy for someone else's words. He got up, rubbed his sore shoulders, and walked out of the room.A ray of sunshine appeared in the distance of the gray sky, and the breeze was blowing, giving birth to a little bit of coolness on the body.Tighten the flag dress on his body, and still walk forward.Seeing a figure in the distance, I was surprised that there are still people who get up so early.Just about to turn around to avoid it, a familiar voice came from ahead: "But Xiaowen." Hearing this, he felt happy, and stepped forward and said, "Si elder brother, it's so early."

A smile appeared on the corner of Hongli's mouth and he asked irrelevantly: "How is your body?" For some reason, he could easily let go of everything in his heart in front of Hongli, waved his fist in front of him, and said with a smile: "Strong as a cow." Looking at my posture, Hongli shook his head and said, "It seems to be all right." After speaking, he turned and left.Not knowing what he meant, he quickly followed and asked, "Is there anything urgent?" The two stood still, and Hongli said helplessly, "I haven't slept for two days, and I'm going back to sleep now." He was puzzled, but he seemed to understand a little, and moved, "You are waiting for me here." He sighed in vain. I glanced at him and said, "Could it be that you are waiting for others?" In my heart, I said in amazement, "Why are you waiting here?" Hongli's eyes blurred, and his face turned dark, "No one can enter or leave Yinxi Pavilion these days." After a pause He added: "Maybe you can really replace her."

Listening to his words, his eyes were a little bitter, his consciousness was a little withdrawn, he looked at Hongli's childlike face and said dumbly: "Si elder brother, what kind of woman do you think she is." He put away the gloomy expression on his face and said: "The appearance Cold, calm, alert and intelligent, she doesn't like restraint, a rare and peculiar woman." Confused, he lowered his head and kept silent. Hongli sighed softly and said, "You are not as good as her. You have too much concern in your heart. She clearly loves Huang Ama, but she still went to the fourteenth without hesitation. Uncle. You can't be as decisive as she is, and you have no way out. Even if this person is someone you love deeply, being with you is like being with a tiger, so you should be more cautious when making a decision. "

With a dark sigh in my heart, I raised my head and said, "I want to follow my heart, and I don't want to go against my will again. Even if this process is short, I will not regret it." There was a slight pain in his face, but a smile escaped from the corner of his mouth and said: "You are also a relatively rare woman." Looking at his face that looks like Yinzhen's eyebrows and eyes, the words of Shisan suddenly came to mind, although he couldn't bear it, he still said: "Hongli, in my heart, you, like Cheng Huan, are the children I care about." Hongli's face tightened, and then he showed a teasing smile, and he said: "It's more pleasant for you to call me fourth elder brother. If you really come On the day when you change your mind, it’s not too late to call again.” After speaking, he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, then turned around and walked forward with big strides.

The calm mood once again set off waves with Hongli's words. As the saying goes: "Only with a lot of trust can there be a little love." Although he recognized me as Ruoxi, he could understand what happened to me. all kinds?Can you understand the change in my appearance?Can he still love me now as he loved me before?The self-confidence that I had just had in my heart collapsed again. The sun rose in the east, the light penetrated through the trees, and the ground suddenly lit up.The birds are singing for the first time, welcoming the dawn of dawn.At this moment, the garden was quiet, and he forced himself to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and walked forward silently.Suddenly hearing footsteps behind him, he walked to the side of the road.

"Miss Xiaowen's airs are getting bigger and bigger." Hearing this yin and yang voice, an unknown fire surged in his chest, and his repeated concessions made him push forward.Turned around and stood still, gave him a blessing, and said indifferently: "I have seen the third elder brother, and the third elder brother is auspicious." Hong Shi squinted at me and said: "After these days of recuperation, the girl's complexion is very good Very." I sneered in my heart, but smiled like a flower and said: "Brother San was joking, Xiaowen is just open-minded, and his complexion will naturally improve." Xu was surprised by the change in my attitude, Hong Shi was stunned for a moment, and soon, he was furious and said "You really don't want your life." Trembling in my heart, I still smiled and said: "Although the life of a servant is as cheap as an ant, it is also interesting to have an elder brother buried with him."

Looking at the distorted young face in front of him, he felt a little regretful, and suddenly regretted that his words just now were too vicious.So, she put away her smile and said sincerely: "Third elder brother, maybe the words of the servant are not pleasant, but they are also the words from the heart of the servant. Some things cannot be forced, and they cannot be controlled or decided by oneself. If this is the case, why not go along with it?" It's natural. The servant girl said so much, I hope the third elder brother will not blame him." The two stood quietly, after a long time, Hongshi regained his composure, and said expressionlessly: "Don't meddle in other people's business in the future, lest you get tired and die." Hearing this, he sighed softly, but he still thought that I helped Hongli, I smiled and said: "Third elder brother is too worried, the servants only do their own things." Hong Shi walked forward and said: "Remember what I said."

Although the sun is shining brightly, I can't feel the warmth at all.Having lost her original state of mind, she turned around and walked back.After walking a few steps, I saw Ju Xiang coming panting, the little girl said while clutching her chest, "Xiaowen, go back quickly." Seeing her anxious look, she knew it must be a big deal, so she hurried forward and said: "What's the matter?" Ju Xiang stretched out her hand to hold my arm tightly and said, "The Queen is waiting for you." Feeling the little girl's hand trembling slightly, she patted her hand lightly to express her comfort.

Ju Xiang led her all the way into my room, feeling confused, not knowing what Ulanara means.When he entered the room, he saw Ulanara sitting on a chair with a slightly dazed expression, thoughtful.She lowered her body and saluted calmly: "Your maidservant has seen the queen, the queen is auspicious." She seemed to wake up from her meditation, her face was a little dazed, and after a while, she recovered her dignified and elegant expression.She looked at me quietly for a while, then took my hand and said, "Sit down." Glancing at Ju Xiang with her eyes, the little girl hastily closed the door and left.I don't know what she meant, so I stood still and said with a slight smile: "I don't dare." Ulanara sighed softly: "Is the girl still angry about the last time I talked about marriage for you?" With a move in his heart, Knowing that she would not come here specifically for this matter, she waited quietly for her next words, and sure enough she said: "Miss Xiaowen, do you know that the emperor will go to court early in the next two days." In an instant, he understood why she came here, and also understood the meaning of Hongshi's words. Although his heart was already surging and he couldn't help himself, he still smiled slightly and looked at her calmly.She stared at me with sharp eyes and said: "I don't want similar incidents to happen in the future." Her words were cold, and there was a cold light in her eyes that wanted to kill people.I clenched my fists tightly, and my eyes were a little blurred. For me, he turned up early two days late, and my heart was full of surprises and worries.After recovering, he breathed out softly and said, "This kind of thing will not happen again, please rest assured, Queen." Hearing my words, the coldness in her eyes gradually diminished, and her face was still soft. At this moment, she became a graceful and luxurious queen again.Still holding my hand, she replied: "Sit down." No longer insisting, she sat down on the opposite side, she shook her head slightly, and said with a smile: "Young lady doesn't seem to be afraid of anyone." Knowing her She didn't want me to answer, so she smiled and said nothing, "Since the emperor cares so much about you, please take good care of you, don't be shy about anything. Come to me if you need anything." She is indeed an impeccable queen, and she feels a little uncomfortable, whether she can ignore Yinzhen and favor other women like her in the future.Thinking of this, she couldn't help trembling slightly, she seemed to see through my heart, and said with a sad face: "Xiaowen, don't ask too much of him. He is the emperor, and he is destined to have the Sangong Sixth Court. Think more, There is more pain.” Surprised that her heart was so clear, I smiled bitterly and said, "Can I really not want to, not hear, not ask?" She looked at me fixedly and said, "You really fell in love with him." Before I could reply, She said again: "If not, how can I understand it so deeply." At this time, Ulanara is no longer a queen, she is just a sad wife.But the most ironic thing is that our man is actually the same person. At the end, she held my hand tightly and said, "Don't shrink back, love him, just tolerate him." After finishing speaking, she stared closely at my eyes, which were full of eager desire. Tears fell one by one from my eyes and dripped warmly on our hands.Seeing the same tears through the misty eyes, it was the first time that I felt so small and humble in front of love.I bit my lip tightly and nodded slowly, she was relieved, and her usual expression returned to her face. Seeing her expression change so quickly, I suddenly knew why she wanted a guarantee from me.Confused in his heart, he smiled wryly to himself, she was so smart.As if knowing that I understood, she smiled and said, "I believe Miss Xiaowen is also a trustworthy person." She didn't know how to describe her inner feelings, and she didn't know what to say, she just watched her walk out lightly in a daze. I have the answer in my heart, and my mood is much more stable.Working in the office, cooking, practicing calligraphy, busy, life is very comfortable.It shouldn't be worth it today, sitting in the courtyard drinking tea, but thinking about what happened that day in my mind, secretly admiring Ulanara in my heart. Hearing the familiar footsteps, he was secretly happy, and without turning his head, he said with a smile: "How many people are there today?" Before he finished speaking, Xiao Shunzi was standing in front of my eyes, and he said in surprise: "Miss Xiaowen, why don't you?" When you look back, you will know it is me." Seeing him like this, he smiled and said, "Do I have foresight?" Seeing him scratching his head in confusion, he couldn't hold back his laughter.Xiao Shunzi shook his head and said: "Stop talking, I can't always talk to you, Eunuch Gao asked me to spread the word that the Emperor and Prince Yi will come to have dinner today." Seeing him running out in a hurry, he laughed again. Looking at the table, Yinzhen glanced at me with a warm complexion, and I smiled back at him very charmingly, feeling a burst of joy in my heart.Seeing the two of them sitting down, they stood beside them silently. Seeing me like this, Yinzhen smiled and said, "Not yet." With a knowing smile, our eyes drifted away from the faces of the two of us, we shook our heads lightly and started to eat slowly.The three of them tacitly kept silent, and the banquet was filled with a warm atmosphere.
