Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen

Time flies, time flies.In a blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and I don't feel any joy in my heart. I just feel that the fear in my heart is getting stronger day by day, and I always have a vague feeling that the disaster of the eighth master and the others will be here.I feel depressed, but I don't know what to do. There are so many trees in Yuanmingyuan, strolling on the path in the forest.A gust of wind blew by, making people feel a little bit chilly. A few fallen leaves fell with the wind, turned around a few times lightly like butterflies, and fell leisurely to the ground.

Stretching out a hand to catch a leaf falling with the wind, holding it in his hand and watching it unconsciously, the melancholy in his heart became even more aggravated.Walking forward slowly, without purpose, just want to walk forward quietly alone.Suddenly heard a snort coming from the front, looked up, it turned out that Hongli was walking from the opposite side. Smiling slightly, she walked past him, hearing footsteps coming behind her, feeling a little helpless in her heart.Turning around and stopping, Hongli took a look at me and said, "You are very annoying." Putting away the dark expression on his face, he smiled slightly and said, "How could it be?" Hongli chuckled lightly and said, "Aren't you He is very good at lying, if he is in a bad mood, it is bad, when will he start to cover it up." I was startled, but I didn't realize that my words were wrong again, so I didn't want to defend myself, so I smiled and kept silent.

Hongli glanced at me and said: "You seem to have made a decision." He was stunned, and immediately understood what he meant, smiled and nodded, and Hongli said again: "The sad face just now is my mistake. Did it? If I hadn't snorted, would you have bumped into me?" Hearing his voice a little excited, he raised his head and stared at him blankly. Seeing the strange expression on my face, Hongli explained with a relaxed smile, "Since I have fulfilled my wish, why do I still look like this?" He didn't have the desire or state of mind to tell, because he knew that there was no suitable listener for this matter.Still smiling lightly, seeing me like this, Hongli's smile froze on his face, after a while, he said: "Xiaowen, don't treat me as a junior, I just want to have a pure friend in the palace. You don't have to worry about anything, and what you worry about won't happen."

Knowing that he had already guessed the meaning of what I said that day, he blushed and felt a little embarrassed.I said awkwardly, "My friend, can I go now?" Hongli shook his head and smiled lightly, "Then can you tell my friend what's embarrassing, after all, my friend is the fourth elder brother of the Qing Dynasty." I didn't expect him to be so persevering today. Although he felt a little helpless, he still smiled lightly and said, "A sad face doesn't mean you are in a bad mood. Haven't you heard of it?" Autumn.'?" Hongli raised his head to look at the yellowing leaves on the tree, squinted at me and said, "Qiuchou, Qiuchou, you are already so worried now that autumn has just entered, will the days be over?" He knew that he would not believe it, But he didn't want to pay attention to it, so he said: "I just want to feel the style of this autumn alone, and I don't know if my friend can let me go." I didn't want to continue to cover up with words, so I walked straight forward.Behind Hongli continued: "If you think I can't solve it, then the person in your heart should be able to solve it." Hearing this, he suddenly had an idea in his heart, and walked forward quickly, and said loudly while walking: "Thank you, friend. "

The moonlight is like flowing water, quietly pouring into the Yinxi Pavilion, like a dream wrapped in a green gauze.He looked up at the moon in the middle, wrapped his clothes tightly around his body, and stood stubbornly at the door waiting for him. Time passed very slowly, and it was surprisingly slow. It felt like a century had passed, and finally I saw that slightly thin and tall figure.Overjoyed in his heart, he took two steps forward and said, "You are finally back." Yinzhen's face warmed up, and he smiled and said, "You are waiting for me." Glancing at him, he said angrily, "If I hadn't been waiting for you, I would have already fallen asleep. "His face changed, his eyes were fixed on my face, and he showed a weird smile.Seeing his expression, he suddenly realized that what he said was a bit ambiguous. Fortunately, the moonlight was hazy, which could cover the shy expression on his face.

His ears felt a little hot, he lowered his head and said, "I want to go to the palace for the Mid-Autumn Festival." After a while, he still didn't hear his voice.Feeling a little annoyed in my heart, when I looked up, I saw Yinzhen's face was tense, as if he was enduring great pain.Impressively in my heart, I instantly understood why he was like this. Turned around and ran to the residence, entered the room to close the door, leaned against the door and tightly covered his face with both hands.After a long time, I still felt that my cheeks were very hot. When I walked to the mirror, I saw that the person in the mirror had smiling eyes and a peach blossom face.He sighed secretly in his heart, he was no longer innocent, but for some reason he was still shy in front of him.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door, startled, hurried to the bed and said: "I've already gone to bed, I'll talk about something tomorrow." After a while, there was silence outside the door, I couldn't hold back, walked over to open the door, There was no one outside the door.A little disappointed in my heart, I sighed and prepared to close the door. "You really don't want me to go in?" His muffled voice came from outside the door. When I looked up, I saw him coming from the window, walked into the room, walked to the table and sat down, saying, "Come in." His feet seemed to have taken root He seemed to stand there, motionless.He showed a funny expression and said, "I won't eat you."

Step by step, she walked to the opposite side of him, sat down, and glanced at him quickly, only to see that his face was calm, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.Seeing me like this, he smiled and said, "I still have some self-control." Hearing what he said so bluntly, his face became hot, he lowered his head, and stared at his toes. The two of them were silent for a while, and finally I couldn't hold my breath.Looking up at him, I saw him staring at the flickering candlelight on the table with a faint expression of coldness in his eyes.I was puzzled, so I stared at him silently, perhaps feeling my gaze.He withdrew his gaze and said indifferently: "Do you have to go?" It turned out that he came here for this reason, and he was a little disappointed in his heart, and the shame on his face was also swept away.Suppressing the bitterness in his heart, he said dumbly: "It's also right for a servant to serve the emperor." Hearing this, he shook his head lightly, got up and walked towards the door, and said at the door: "I hope you are sincerely following me." go"

Looking at the long queue of carriages, I felt a little dazed.Just as he was about to get in the car, he saw Gao Wuyong approaching from a distance, stepped forward and asked, "Ada, what's the matter?" Gao Wuyong said, "Miss Xiaowen, the emperor has been feeling thirsty today, is it you?" Follow along." Just as he was about to turn around and move forward, Cheng Huan beside him grabbed his sleeve and refused to let go, seeing her standing with a pouty face and refusing to get in the car, he and Qiao Hui consoled her for a long time, until he agreed to come back and make a toy for her. After giving up, Cheng Huan got into the carriage with a face of reluctance.

He got into the carriage and sat opposite him, his eyes met, silent.After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly realized: "Are you thirsty?" He smiled slightly and opened his arms.I hesitated for a while, but sat down, he put his arm around my shoulder and held my hand in the other: "I don't know when I can be with you without any scruples?" My heart sank, and I said secretly: "You Your identity determines that you will never be able to live your life completely according to your own way, just because of the fact that the environment you live in has created this fact. You may make the rules better, but no one can completely change them."

The two were silent for a while, and he doubted: "Just say what you want to say." He could still easily guess what I was thinking, and without hesitation, he left his embrace, stared into his eyes and said, "Can you I can’t promise Ruoxi one thing.” His eyes turned cold and he didn’t make a sound, I continued: “It’s just one thing, from now on Ruoxi will never do anything that embarrasses or saddens you, and from then on, Xiaowen will be Xiaowen, everything about Ruoxi has nothing to do with me anymore." Looking at his stern and dignified face, my heart sank little by little, feeling that I was too naive, or I overestimated my position in his heart.He leaned lightly on the soft cushion, fixed his eyes on the roof of the car and said, "I still can't let him go." Feeling pain in his heart, he grabbed his hand and said, "He is my brother-in-law after all, and he also fulfilled my sister's last wish." .I don't dare to expect too much, I just hope that he can save his life." He said with a blank face: "Is it just like that?" Tears flowed down his cheeks into his mouth, astringent and salty, and I said: "I only have one person in my heart, do you think it's him?" I took a moment, then straightened up and took me into my arms. After being silent for a while, he said: "As long as he is quieter, I don't want his life." Having obtained his own satisfactory answer, he hoped that history was misrepresented, and Ba Ye and the others did not die unexpectedly.Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and took the initiative to hug his waist with a sigh of relief. The carriage stopped slowly, and I straightened up quickly to adjust my appearance. Seeing that I was so careful, he smiled lightly and said: "There is nothing wrong." He smiled at him and was about to get out of the car, only to feel that his body was lightened, and he had taken him again into the bosom.Embarrassed, he said angrily, "Others will see." He suppressed his laughter and said in a deep voice, "Are you leaving like this?" He kissed him hastily on the face, opened the curtain and got out of the carriage. For people in the 21st century, the state of doing nothing is beyond the orbit of life, the most luxurious enjoyment, and the most impossible dream.However, doing nothing here is the same day-to-day life of many concubines in the palace.Since Yinzhen entered the palace, he has been in the Hall of Mental Cultivation to govern. I have nothing to do, so I wandered around the imperial garden at will. Coincidentally, I met the queen and several concubines. Although he was unwilling in his heart, he still moved forward and greeted them one by one.Empress Ulanara smiled slightly and said: "Miss Xiaowen is just a coincidence." She didn't want to stay for a long time, and was about to ask to leave, Ulanara said again: "In that case, let the girl come and sit down. With a smile on his face, he walked over slowly and sat beside Ulanara.Just as she sat down, Concubine Qi said, "Young lady is beautiful and dignified." Before I could reply, she turned to Concubine Xi and said, "Sister, Hongli is already sixteen, right?" He secretly thought something was wrong, so he stared closely at Concubine Xi, only to see that her complexion tightened, and then she said with a smile on her face: "Yes, the emperor said a few days ago that he would personally arrange a marriage for this child." The future empress dowager, with meticulous thinking, keen insight, and decent speech, bypassed the topic without being soft or hard.She glanced at Concubine Qi out of the corner of her eye, but she revealed a look of resentment and sighed secretly, understanding why Hongshi always spoke impetuously and imprudently. Feeling a little depressed, I didn't expect to encounter such a situation on the first day of entering the palace.Ulanara snorted softly, and everyone immediately stopped talking. She glanced around and smiled at me: "Xiaowen, how is the emperor these days?" She squeezed out a smile and said, "Everything is fine, the emperor." The sour taste is rising, are you going to share him with these women in the future?With some heat in his eyes, he said: "Queen, this servant has been out for a long time, I'm afraid the emperor has finished discussing the matter." Ulanara shook my hand and said softly: "Go." Walking on the road, I felt that my knees were weak, my ears were buzzing, and my chest was a little out of breath. A silent cry came up my spine, spread from my shoulders to my whole body, and I struggled to support myself, staggering back go.Pushing open the door, fell heavily on the bed, pulling up the thin quilt to cover her head.Biting his lips tightly, he felt chills all over his body, and nameless despair churned in his chest. After a long time, when I opened the quilt, I saw the moonlight outside the window, and a piece of silver light came in. I got up and went to the window, looking up at the bright moon, I could vaguely see the legendary sweet-scented osmanthus tree. Blurred, the tears that had already filled the eye sockets quietly spilled out of the corners of the eyes and quickly swept across the face. Without consciousness, I just stared blankly at the bright moon that was getting rounder until my legs became weak and my body slowly fell down.The moment I landed, a pair of strong hands supported me.Looking at his face blankly, it felt so far away, and raising his hand to caress his face, it was still so unreal. The thinking in the brain paused, and the eyes gradually became dark, until the last ray of light disappeared.An anxious cry came from his ear... In the early morning, everything is silent, the sky is getting bright, the night is about to disappear, and the morning light of dawn slowly wakes up the sleeping creatures.Looking at the furrowed brows in front of his eyes, his heart ached, as if he had forgotten everything that happened yesterday, he raised his hand to gently caress his forehead.He woke up with a start, and asked eagerly: "I feel better." A little speechless, he kept silent. Seeing me like this, he sighed softly, and hugged me tightly, as if he wanted to rub me into my body. His body is average. Listening to his powerful heartbeat, a trace of regret overflowed from the depths of my heart. I already knew that I was not the only one beside him, and I knew that what I hoped would never be realized, why I still can’t face all this calmly.Gently drawing circles on his chest with his fingers, his stiff muscles loosened a bit.He said: "I will avoid it in the future." His heart was sour, because of his almost paranoid emotions, tears welled up from the corners of his eyes little by little, and he choked up, "I will try to get along with them." With pity in his eyes, he said: "I don't want you to embarrass yourself." With tears in his eyes, he smiled and said, "I don't want you to embarrass me either." Quietly nestled in his arms, feeling a deep attachment in my heart.
