Li Huang - Chapter 251
“The princess is so beautiful, with a gentle temperament and a noble status. There is no reason why men don’t love it.” I handed her a plate of preserved fruit: “The princess has a taste. This is a tribute from the northern country. It is very sweet.”
“If you say that you are noble and beautiful, who can compare to you.” Princess Yu has a sincere expression: “The concubine has heard of your demeanor in Rouran, and also heard how you and the emperor love you. I am very envious. “She caressed her side and said softly: “But nowadays no one is envious of concubines.”
I only listened to her happiness with a generous smile, showing a relieved expression like a sister-in-law, but my heart became more and more sour, like a handful of green plums, even the dried fruit is sour in my mouth.
“The princess dedicate her life to the country away from her homeland. The prince is busy with government affairs. If the princess is lonely or unhappy, she will enter the palace. The gate of Kunning Palace is always open to you, so treat this as her natal family.” I pulled. Passing her hand, her eyes were glaring: “My palace hopes that the princess will open up branches and leaves for the king of Yu.”
Concubine Yu looked grateful, and she looked a little more trusting in my eyes, and she deeply politely said: “The concubine thanked the empress.”
After a long time of such gossip, it was a good time to have a good conversation, and lunch was left. The words came from the front that the emperor and the king came.
I was taken aback, and then smiled and said: “The prince and the princess are really in love. They came after only half a day.”
Concubine Yu was embarrassed and said, “I made the empress laugh.” The tone was sweet.
I said to Huiju: “I want to come to the emperor and haven’t eaten yet, so let’s add two pairs of chopsticks.” Then to Princess Yu: “Why don’t you mind?”
She hurriedly said: “It is a blessing for a concubine to be able to eat with the emperor.”
I nodded, but I was a little repulsive of the situation I had to face.
This is the first time I have eaten together with Shen Xiyao since I was a child. Although it seems that the two of me are very harmonious, but in fact they pretend to be very hard. In addition, Xihe is very attentive to the princess and shows incomparable affection. I felt that my smirk was so embarrassing that I couldn’t help it. The lunch ended soon, and Wang Yu took the princess to leave and put on a shawl carefully for her when they left. They looked like a true pair of people.
I watched them walk out of Kunning Palace side by side, the smile on their faces finally lifted.
“I don’t want Princess Rouran not only has a beautiful appearance, but also has such a docile personality. I think she treats people generously and decently, and she gets along well with Xi He, and is finally relieved.” Shen Xiyao said with emotion.
I smiled, “The emperor regrets not including Princess Rouran in the harem?”
Don’t want to say anything, suddenly tightened his waist, turned his head in surprise, and was facing Shen Xiyao’s arrogant kiss.
“Who can compare to Wei Er?” He whispered, holding my earlobe.
I just felt a tingling numb in my body, but fear surged deep in my heart. For some reason, as long as I am particularly close to him, I can’t help but feel this way.
He kissed eagerly and fiercely, and even started to move with his hands. The court ladies and eunuchs around him retreated somehow. In the afternoon, the light was dazzling, and I couldn’t see his face clearly, only a layer of hatred surged up. Although I knew that I shouldn’t refuse in any case, I subconsciously pushed him away and took a few steps back.
He looked at me, the obsession in his eyes gradually turned into sadness and disappointment, and his handsome face showed anger. He stared at me closely, I felt that my eyes must have leaked the disgust in my heart, and even my complexion became pale.
I looked at him for a long time without any intention of giving in. The atmosphere in the hall became very embarrassing and depressing. He took a step closer and I took a step back. After several times, he finally waved his sleeves and left angrily.
I gradually weakened, worry and fear in my heart. It can be seen that Shen Xiyao is very dissatisfied with my performance, and he has been treating me carefully, and is leaving now, fearing that he has reached the limit of patience.
Since the afternoon of this day, Shen Xiyao has never entered the Kunning Palace again, and even the first, fifteenth and major New Year holidays set by the ancestral system will come again. But the rare and exotic treasures, seasonal tributes, and daily necessities are all selected and used by Kunning Palace first, and the rest are given to the sixth house. All matters concerning the size of the harem are decided by the queen, but wherever the queen decides, do not ask the emperor to change it.
Therefore, even if he did not come, he gave me a power that should not be underestimated, so everyone in the harem dare not look at Kunning Palace. Although the palace is full of all kinds of whispers, they will never reach my ears blatantly.
Princess Yu has been very fond of magnolia since she came to Daxi. There is a place behind Kunning Palace that is full of magnolias of various colors, and there are varieties that open against the season. Therefore, when Xihe enters the palace to discuss matters, she will also go to Kunning Palace. I invite you.
Gradually, I discovered her changes.
The original Princess Yu always brought a pure smile like a child, a little thing can make her laugh. There was no trace of worry in her eyes, they were as clean as a lake on the top of a snowy mountain. After that, these clear eyes occasionally became blurred. Although every time she said how considerate Xi He was to her, I heard something wrong from her less and less words.
Xihe is really good to her, but this goodness is like the kindness and considerateness of the brother to the younger sister. If Princess Fanyu likes, Xihe will give her, but will not be too close to her. That goodness brings politeness. And distance. But this is not the case with real couples. Their kindness and consideration are the eagerness to share when they are happy, the reliance on two-phase talks when they are sad, the fierce persuasion when they disagree, and the waiting anxiously when they are sick? ?
Finally, her clean eyes were covered by the snow from the snow-capped mountains, and her cheerful cheeks were replaced by sorrow. Her manners became more thorough, her words became less and her smile gradually disappeared. Later, he rarely entered the palace.
