Cold Emperor Loves Consort Ardently - C187
The empress dowager was still not going to take part in this year’s summer vacation. She had to look at her own road, afraid that something might happen. Similarly, Yang Fei was pregnant and hadn’t gone.
They said it was hot and stuffy in the palace, so he asked to go back to the Yang Mansion to rest. He just took a glance and didn’t say anything else.
While I was fanning his face, he suddenly said, “Zhiqiu, go back to the palace, you can stay at the Yang family for a while.”
“Why? “I really don’t like the Yang family.” Not at all.
They would rather be poor and hungry than rely on the Yang family for even a little bit.
He stopped writing and looked at me with his deep eyes. He said weakly, “Even if it’s for me, I’ll go and stay for a while. I’ll bring you back. At that time, I didn’t want you to be a palace maid. Do you understand?”
I think I understand, his uneasiness, that he doesn’t just want me to serve him.
“Zhiqiu, you must have a strong backing in the harem.” He looked at me very gently. “You promised me that you would always be with me.”
“Fine.” I really can’t refuse him if he says so.
He gave me a gentle smile and put his arms around me. “Do you feel it, Zhiqiu? It’s quite a wonderful thing to know and shout this year. I want to play a song for you.”
“You?” I raised my eyebrows.
“Yes, don’t think that I don’t know how to play. The Prime Minister has always treated the guqin as his most precious instrument. Of those who grew up in the palace, not a single one of them can play. I have learnt everything since I was young.”
His interest was piqued, and he really had someone bring him the zither platform. After tuning up, there really was a bit of grandeur behind it. With a light flick, his voice became clear and pure. He really was an expert.
The zither he played was different from the one I played. His power and voice were grand and majestic. Most of what I played was pity.
I held my face and looked at him, this is the dragon and phoenix among men, Yun Zhiqiu, you really are the fortune of your previous life, there is such a man like him, he even wanted to carefully love you, you have to feel satisfied, you have to be grateful, you don’t have to think about anything else, just stay by his side and take care of him for the rest of his life. Women with too many ideas are always more tired than women with no ideas.
When he finished playing, I applauded. It was nice, I knew he might, but he never showed it.
“In the future, if you want to play the zither, I can be compatible with you.” In the future, if you want to play the zither, I can be compatible with you. He took the tea and took a sip.
I sighed. “I don’t want to play the zither again. When I play it, I feel a little uncomfortable. I’ll just knock on the bowl. If it breaks, you can buy it for me.”
He nodded at my forehead. “There is a sound of tearing clothes that makes beauties laugh, but do you still want to buy a bowl of food for Yi?”
There were always questions, whether intentionally or unintentionally. He was just such a mistrustful person.
“Did you hear that? The child is crying. I’ll go take a look. Oh right, I’ll come to the mountain resort sometime.” I’ll also find an empty baby to let Li Fei have a look.
“The day after tomorrow, but I have something to tell you first, you have to listen. When we arrive at the mountain resort, there will be someone to take care of the child.” The day after, but I have to tell you first, you have to listen, when we arrive at the mountain resort, there will be someone to take care of the child.
“Fine.” I can’t let them be too attached to me. I have to learn to grow on my own.
It’s good to sort something out, and no matter what, I’ll take it calmly.
Let go, it’s impossible for him to do that. Hehe, I also have the same idea. I won’t think about it anymore. If I don’t have any more hope, then there won’t be any more disappointment.
In the afternoon, he went to the empress to accompany me, I carried the baby to find Li Fei, she saw the baby is white and fat, in the heart but happy, hug straight kiss.
The baby happily stood there, waving her hand in the air. Li Fei’s gaze fell on the baby’s wrist, and she was a little surprised. “Zhiqiu, you?”
“Your things, of course, are for the baby.” How could I take it?
Feeling touched, she held onto the baby’s hand reluctantly. “Zhi Qiu, if there comes a day, you can keep this bracelet.” One day what? She didn’t say anything. Her eyes were already filled with pain.
She didn’t believe that I could protect her daughter either, but the baby was so young, and now I was going to criticize her life and death. It really wasn’t fair.
“Although the Emperor isn’t very close to the baby now, one day, he might even make her a princess.”
She smiled and didn’t answer. She held the baby’s hand and said, “Call me mother. Come, call me mother.”
When I told her about my summer vacation, she clapped her baby’s hands and smiled. “Baby is great, you can go out. It’s so beautiful there. It’s so good for baby to go and see.”
Suddenly, he seemed to recall something and cautiously asked me: “Zhiqiu, did you also plan to go to the mountain resort last year?”
I nodded. “Yes.” It had originally been decided. There was also the small pavilion that he had mentioned. There were still many things that he had failed to accomplish.
Her expression was somewhat stern. “Zhiqiu, last year, before you went, why did you come to the cold palace to see me? Who was it that inadvertently brought it up in front of you? You have to be careful, Zhiqiu.”
I thought for a moment. If I remember correctly, it would be Zhang Xibao.
“The narrator did not mean it, but the listener did. Otherwise, why would you come to the cold palace? Yet, I was so arrogant and looked down on everyone. Was this person really not an ordinary person? Zhi Qiu, you have to be extra careful. ”
Oh, Zhang Xiebao, she wanted to go to the mountain resort that year, and she said those things to me by chance, but how did she know?
I hate the person I hate the most, Imperial Concubine Mu. However, I can’t allow myself to be played around with by her in front of me again.
But I didn’t understand that there really wasn’t much love between the Emperor and her. She talked about Xia Junchang without restraint, and the Emperor didn’t seem to care about her.
After carrying the baby back, I still frowned and thought hard. However, he felt that he had to be wary of Zhang Xinjie. He wasn’t as kind as he appeared to be.
I’m not a stubborn person, I wouldn’t think so badly of people, but once I become friends, I’ll know why. Naturally, Li Fei also understood why I suddenly went to see her, sigh, no matter what, whoever has that kind of heart so what, the emperor still dotes on me.
Should I let go of more things, put away all the distractions in my heart, see if he can still move me, if his heart will still rise and fall for him.
I don’t know what love is like. To be honest, it’s too hard to forget someone. But the reality is, I’m with another man. If there was a choice, I would not touch anything, but I would be lonely, but that was not allowed. He wanted me to love him, he wanted me to care about him.
If he didn’t kill Xia Junchang and Lin Luoshui, then what else could I not sell out? All my emotions and soul had already been betrayed from the start.
I sighed bitterly. The baby leaned on my shoulder and obediently looked back at the scenery. The sun is still very poisonous, the reason for my umbrellas to travel, I still feel very hot, I know, the sound of annoyance has not gone far, I even thought, perhaps left the palace, will be quiet, summer resort, last year did not go last year but this year, but still continued the fate of the past.
“Why? Can you go back first?”
She didn’t say anything for almost a day, didn’t say a word, and I knew she still cared about me, but now that I had the Emperor and she was back in the Palace, she didn’t have anything to worry about.
She backed away, and I carried the baby down to the magnolia tree.
The verdant and tender scented Yulan tree quietly basked in the sun. The wind couldn’t blow it away, but it still wrote so many scents.
I walked slowly, and when I did, I said, “Forget him.” One step and I said, “Forgot.” Third, I said, “I forgot.”
Tears slid down my face, and I stopped walking. Under the third magnolia tree, I picked up a branch and dug hard. The baby’s small face touched my face. I don’t know if it was telling me not to cry.
I kissed her and smiled. I was burying my past. I dug a hole and buried the Wolf Teeth in it.
This memory, buried here, with the fragrance of Yulan, I can no longer look back. You must live well. We have made a promise here, and now that I’m back, I’ll keep my promise. And my helplessness, I’ll tell you, I’ll be fine too, stepping into a new life.
As he thought about it, his tears continued to flow.
Covered in dirt and buried tightly, I stood up to see that no one else was there, dusted off my hands and headed back to the Palace of the Righteous Flowers.
The baby’s small mouth, lying on my face kiss, those black bright eyes, seems to pity.
“When you grow up, don’t be like me.”
To hide something, I went through the Begonia Courtyard and broke a bunch of the four season Begonia that was still open. It was quiet here, so I didn’t even open my horse. I broke it and ran, and the baby thought I was stealing something.
She played with him and went back with the big bouquet of Begonia. When I went up the aisle, I saw him in the lounge chair, rocking back and forth by himself. For some reason, I felt as if time had flown by, as if he and I had suddenly become very old.
“Your majesty.” I smiled as I held the Begonia. “See, is it beautiful?”
“Going to be a rapist?” He smiled, took the flower, and put it on the ground.
“Hur hur, how did you know?” I thought he would accompany Lu Yao to the evening in the palace. He had not expected to be back so early.
When the maid came to take the baby, he scratched my nose affectionately. “If you didn’t steal the flowers, you wouldn’t have come back so early. Isn’t that what people are talking about?”
“Hur hur, I really understand.” She took the wet handkerchief from the maid and wiped the sweat from her face.
He stared at my hand, then reached over and took my handkerchief and slowly wiped the dirt from between my fingers.
He did the same for me in the Northwest.
I leaned against him. “You treat me so well. I want to cherish it.”
He said in a low voice, “Do you finally know what it means to cherish something?”
I know, so I buried my past and the impossibility of being together. I don’t know if the mud on my fingertip has the fragrance of Yulan or if he knows how much I favor Yulan.
“Even if I were to become a thief, you would still be a thief who will never be able to show off. When I become a thief, you should follow me and learn a little more next time.”
“Eh, you’re also a thief?” Did he change the subject? Naturally, I am not stupid enough to change the topic.
“Let me tell you something. When I first became a thief, I was still very young, and I also went to break crabapple blossoms. It was very beautiful, and the crabapple blossoms … How can there be such a beautiful and tender flower in the world? It smells so sweet and alluring, and if I want to like it, I’ll plant it all over the palace.”
“And then? It’s indeed not easy to be a thief in such a way. You’re too ambitious. ”
He couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He threw the handkerchief to my head and rubbed it. “Are you making fun of me?”
“How could I dare? When I stole the flowers, I didn’t think of anything at all. I just secretly broke off and ran away with the baby. I didn’t know she thought I was playing with her. She was so excited that she laughed.”
“The cowardly Yun Zhiqiu, alas, afterwards the Queen Mother told me that the Begonia is just a type of unconventional flower, and those who like it have no future. Do you know what happens to the crabapple flowers that I picked?”
I was shocked by his dark eyes. It was as if I could take in his words, “What’s going on here?” What exactly was his past?
He took a deep breath and was silent for a long time before saying, “Imperial Mother ordered me to kneel on the ground, to say that I was wrong. I’ve always said that I would use the branches of the crabapple blossoms to slap the palm of my hand, and the flower would fall into my palm. I don’t know why it hurt so much.
“Does it still hurt now?” I asked softly.
He smiled, but it was so bitter.
His youth had been so bleak, filled with painful memories.
His mother wanted him to live up to his ambitions in the future and did not allow him to do anything. As long as he grew up, he would grow up faster and more promising. She wanted him to be more outstanding than all of his brothers.
I caught his somewhat cold hands and ran my fingertips lightly over the complex lines. He trembled slightly as I ran my fingers through his fingers and gently smiled. “The fragrance of that hand should still have a long aftertaste. Let me feel your past.”
He held it up and gently rubbed the back of his hand, warming my face and his hand. His gentle fingers let go of mine and held me tighter.
Xia Junlan was also suffering the most from the pain he didn’t want to recall.
That was when I first learned that he had memories of crabapple blossoms, and this was only the tip of the iceberg.
