Li Huang - Chapter 236
The room was full of candlelight swaying, and a pair of mandarin ducks lingered in the silk tent with golden dragons and phoenixes. He seemed to be suppressing something, and he seemed to release something. It was much more violent than before. After several times, I can’t bear it. Live, could not help but wailed: “The emperor?”
He looked down at me, a little bit of sweat sticking to his cheeks, his eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of mist, and there was no gentleness when he looked at me in the past, but he was a little confused and hated. And I only saw this look in his eyes once, that night in Huangjiacun.
Although he looked at me, he didn’t stop underneath him, but he hit harder. I couldn’t help but be a little scared, and called him again. He seemed to finally hear it. The fog in his eyes was swept away, replaced by the old gentleness: “Tired?” He stopped and lay beside me, but his hands were not. Stop wandering, making me feel distressed.
I took a breath, I just felt sweaty on my body, and my skin was sticky and uncomfortable on the blind date, and when I was naked against him, I somehow felt embarrassed again.
Pulling a piece of silk bedclothes to the side, he said, “What happened to the emperor today?”
He held my earlobe and said softly: “Why, don’t you like it?”
His breath was soft and soft in his ears, and there was a warm breath, itching, and it made people tremble all over.
“The emperor?” My face flushed, and I groaned.
Shen Xiyao hugged me tightly from behind, did not speak for a long time, only buried his head in my hair. After such a long time, the sweat on his body was blown by the wind wheel and felt cold, only the warm body behind him brought a little warmth.
“You said, can I trust you?” His voice murmured from behind him, low and suppressed many emotions.
I didn’t care at the beginning. I was about to pull the brocade quilt over my body. When I came back to my senses, I had already reacted. I just felt cold all over, and my hands were resting on the quilt.
In the next instant, I rolled over and knelt on the ground. In the summer, the carpets in the Nuan Pavilion are all removed, leaving only the gold bricks for reflection. Shen Xiyao didn’t pull me up, nor did he speak. He just looked at me like that. There were unconcealed doubts, worries, and oppression in his eyes.
Kneeling for a long time, I only feel a faint pain from the knee, as if it has been pierced by a small needle, and it is tightly wound up. I only wore thin and transparent bedding, and I felt the wind blowing from the wind wheel was cold and piercing, and it was cold to the bottom of my heart. The strength of the whole body receded like a tide, only one place was beating violently, almost breaking through the chest cavity, but every beat, there was a deep weakness and a thick heartache that made me breathless.
“Queen, you said, can I trust you?” He has changed his address to me at the moment, and his tone has become severe.
I lowered my head: “If the emperor can’t trust his concubines, he can send him to Huguo Temple, or let his concubines accompany him.” I said that my nose was sour, and I was about to cry.
A hand was stretched under my eyes, and it happened that a drop of unstoppable tears fell on his palm. He wanted to retreat as if he had been scalded, but he just grasped the tears tightly, grabbed me with the other hand, and embraced me.
He gently stroked my hair, used his warm body to warm my cold body at the moment, and then pulled the quilt to ball on me. But even if the body is warmed back, the heart is still cold!
“Ville, don’t let me down.” After he finished speaking, he sealed my open mouth with his lips and kissed deeply.
When I woke up, it was already the next morning. Everything from the previous night flashed in my mind like a dream. The next second I was awake, and there was only an empty bed left with my hands. I was shocked. Today is the day of his imperial conquest. I must go and give it away. My clothes and curtains were lifted. I saw Shen Xiyao wearing a bright yellow satin embroidered with a golden dragon cloud pattern large reading armour. The dazzling bright yellow reading armour is made of black velvet. The border is joined by golden button loops to form a whole, embroidered with multicolored clouds and golden dragon patterns, underneath is the sea water cliff pattern, the steel heart-protecting mirror is hung in the center, and the mirror is decorated with golden clouds and dragon patterns. He smiled at me sideways, revealing the moon white silk inside.
Seeing me getting up, Hui Ju was busy washing and changing my clothes. Behind the screen, I hurriedly put on a real red flying phoenix big shirt, and came to the front with a simple makeup. At this moment, Shen Xiyao is wearing a phoenix-winged helmet on his head. The helmet is planted with tassels, with a golden enamel pattern, and the top is a golden silk rising dragon supporting a big east pearl. The tassel is decorated with a golden dragon pattern, surrounded by red pieces of gold and black. Twenty-four mink ying.
He saw that I had finished my makeup, and smiled and stretched out his hand to me. The smile was more dazzling and dazzling than the rising sun outside the window. I was worried all night and my heart became calm in his smile. When I lowered my head, I saw gold leaves, gold cap nails, and colorful embroidered dragon and bead patterns on the sleeves woven with gold silk. It complements the delicately embroidered peony pattern on his sleeves with colorful gems.
He squeezed hard at the grip of the two hands, and I held it back tightly, as if the two hearts were dependent on each other, there was no gap.
“Ville?” He was affectionate, but decisive, full of leaps and bounds to the imperial drive without fear.
“Xi Yao?” I reluctantly gave up, but did not grieve, as if sending him to accept the worship of the nations, full of hope and glory.
He stared at me deeply, and I returned him with a gentle smile, his hands tightened again, not wanting to loosen it. As we stared at each other, it seemed that I hoped that time would always stand still at this moment and never flow.
Finally, the morning sunlight shed from the edge of the window, and fell on his handsome face, full of vigor and ambition, better than the brightest spring.
“I’m leaving, take care of yourself.” He finally let go of his hand.
“Emperor, please take care!” I nodded, showing some sentimental affection in my eyes, and even the frame of my eyes became moist.
He wanted to stretch out his hand, but finally dropped his arm and nodded to Zhang Dehai.
“The emperor has started!”
He strode into the bright sunshine. I bowed down and couldn’t look directly. I respectfully said: “My concubine will send the emperor to the emperor, and I hope the emperor will come back soon!”
In the outer courtyard of the main hall of Kunning Palace, the harem had to dress up and kneel on both sides, and bid him farewell in unison.
However, Shen Xiyao did not look back, did not look around, step by step out of our sight.
When the golden dragon robe waved its tail, my tense nerves finally eased, and my whole body was loosened. I was about to lean to one side but was steadily lifted by Huiju. I smiled at her gratefully and said, “Tell them, you don’t have to ask for peace today.”
Huiju said in a loud voice from outside the palace: “The empress has an order, all of you have worked hard today, please go back to the palace and rest early.”
The crowd bowed to the main hall of Kunning Palace before they retreated.
Back to the west side hall, put on a fluffy goose yellow embroidered orchid butterfly river skirt, and use a gold hollow inlaid emerald hibiscus orchid hairpin to pull up the hair, sitting under the wind wheel while blowing the cool breeze for dessert.
Yumei brought up a plate of lotus leaf, lotus seeds, red dates, glutinous rice cakes, and said with a smile: “The emperor is leaving the palace, now the empress doesn’t have to worry about the trivial things of jealousy between concubines and concubines.”
I rubbed my eyebrows and said, “Yes, they can be quiet for some time.”
Hui Ju, who stood by the side, said: “It’s just that the empress has to worry about the emperor’s safety on the battlefield, I am afraid it will be even more troublesome.”
I didn’t speak, and I thought about it and said, “Yumei, I want to eat some salty food, you can go to the small kitchen.”
After Yumei heard the words, Huiju stepped up to fill me with tea: “The lady is frowning, is she worried about the emperor?”
“The emperor is going to fight now. This battle will be won. This palace is not so worried. It’s just???” My eyes fell on the Hall of Supreme Harmony with the corners of the eaves faintly exposed outside the window: “The palace always feels restless in my heart, as if something will come out. thing.”
Huiju followed my gaze, seeming to understand something, and said anxiously: “Prince Yu supervises the country, the nobleman of Yue knows the old things about you and the prince, and he also knows about concubine Hui if he wants to come. You have to be careful.”
“Naturally be careful. Although she has ceased since Concubine Liu’s incident, it does not mean that she has given up.” I glanced at the apse again and said to Hui Ju: “Excuse Zhilan, Xuan’er must be careful in daily life and eating! ”
Huiju’s face was solemn: “Is your mother afraid?”
I sighed: “Although the emperor’s concubine and concubine will not compete for favor for the time being, my palace and Concubine Hui are not at all concerned about that. Now that the emperor is not there, it is the best time for her to start.” I paused: “As for The old story between the palace and King Yu is a taboo in the emperor’s heart, and it is also a royal scandal. Concubine Hui will not be so stupid to let the emperor know that she knows about it, and it will cause unnecessary trouble.”
Huiju nodded: “That’s what the mother said.”
I took a sip of tea. Although I still had unexplained fear in my heart, I didn’t care about it. I got up and went to see Xuan’er in the back hall.
Shen Xiyao has been on the expedition for more than two months, and there is peace in the harem. In the previous dynasty, Xi He supervised the country. He was cautious and handled everything properly. In case of major incidents, he would report to Shen Xiyao for adjudication, and he would not leave any clues in the future. And every three days there must be a battle report and instructions to come back.
All I know is that Shen Xiyao led the army all the way to Zhouzhou and expelled the Japanese pirates who were not good at land warfare to the sea. However, the Daxi navy division is obviously inferior to the Japanese pirates in naval battles, so if they want to drive the Japanese pirates out of the Daxi waters and make them afraid of committing them again, it may take some effort.
Recently, I don’t know whether it is due to thinking or being unwell. I have not been sleeping well at night. I woke up early that day and looked through the window, but I saw that there was no cloud in the first clear sky, blue like fine glass, and the cool air of early autumn in my breath, I felt refreshed and happy.
Wearing a silk-printed dress with autumn fragrant brocade and peony, I called Huiju to accompany me for a walk in the Imperial Garden. At this time, most of the concubines were not up, and the imperial garden was quiet and peaceful. The autumn wind has quietly dyed the green leaves on the trees into a light yellow color, and the fallen petals are spreading on the cobblestone path.
I gossiping with Huiju one after another, walking aimlessly under my feet, and I came to a courtyard without realizing it. Looking up, he was startled.
Haiyantang.
The copper bells blowing in the corners of the eaves with wind make a crisp “jingle” sound, which is pleasing to the ear and has a profound artistic conception. In a trance, Xihe’s slender and tall figure appeared in front of me, and the surrounding scenery seemed to take me back to the hut where we lived in Huangjia Village. It was also such a tree shadow whirling, calm and peaceful. As if closing my eyes and opening them again, I could change back to Xie Niang, and Xihe would appear before my eyes, dressed in white, like a **** like a fairy.
Trying to close my eyes, there is a bitter aroma of early chrysanthemum in the refreshing air, which is refreshing, and I laughed at myself. After Haiyantang reunited himself with him, he never lived again. Although he was in charge of the country during this period, he would return to the palace once the government affairs were completed, and never crossed the Tianjie that separated the front court and the back court.
“The slave maid greets the prince.” Hui Ju’s voice rang in her ears.
I was taken aback for a moment, and my heart surged, I just felt that I had heard it wrong. But the next moment, that familiar voice came, and I could hardly believe it.
“Little king sees the empress empress.” He wore an autumn-scented silk scented silk veil, covered in purple gold narrow moire arrow sleeves, and surrounded by blue jade. He looked heroic, handsome and vigorous. And because of the power of the emperor, there is no faintly dignified atmosphere.
“Why is the prince here?” I suppressed the joy and excitement in my heart, and said lightly, my eyes fell on the flowers and plants on the side.
