Chapter 80: Willow flowers fly back to take advantage of the east wind (3)
He looked straight at me, and I saw it for a moment. If found, it would be extremely dangerous.
However, everyone looked at Liu Zhaorong with a modest smile underneath, in an autumn-scented dress robe, her smile was so beautiful and proud, she slowly bowed to the ground.
"The concubine thanked the emperor for grace."
The sound was like honey, but I was tired of hearing it. The question that has been lingering in my mind once again surfaced, on what basis did she get the long-term love of such a king.
"Queen, tomorrow, Guiren Liu will officially become Zhaorong after hearing your admonishment. You should prepare for it tonight." The queen mother suddenly said softly to me.
I nodded: "My son, I know, thank my mother to mention something."
My eyes fell on Liu Guiren, her bright eyes were also staring at me, there were complicated emotions in it.
The banquet continued. Looking at the smiling faces of the concubines and the hypocritical courtesy of the ministers, I finally found that I couldn't help it anymore.
I lowered my head and fiddled with the snow-white snow clam and papaya soup in the bowl inlaid with Jinjun, the white crystal clear, and the silver spoon shook, I got up and smiled and said to Shen Xiyao and the queen mother: "Mother, the emperor, the concubine worried about Linglong. Just go and see."
The queen mother nodded, I walked quietly to the outside of the banquet, Hui Ju followed me.
When I left the hustle and bustle, I got up quickly, and the night gradually came up, only the distant sky still had a faint blush.
Today's family banquet opened early, and it was only half a moment later.
The water in the pool has cooled down. I walked by the lake. The soft satin soles were wet, and a cold chill spread from the soles of my feet to the whole body. Hui Ju obeyed my orders and stood far away under the willow trees by the lake. I know that she has been looking at me worriedly, but I don't want to look back, I don't want to see the dim lights that I close my eyes when I turn back.
In front of me is the vast Feilong Pond, and the cold reflection of the autumn moon is on the water surface, but my heart suddenly opens up, and there is a light rotation under my feet. I haven't danced for a long time, but the night is beautiful, but I have no mood to dance. . Looking back at the bright lights, there was no warmth in my heart.
There were soft footsteps in front, the sound of shoes stomping on fallen leaves.
I looked up, under the moonlight, he looked at me calmly, but under the dark eyes was the turbulent river rolling.
I still have a peaceful gaze, but the difference is that my gaze is a clear stream without impurities.
He laughed. We were separated by a short distance. The two did not speak, but I could hear his heartbeat, as violently as mine.
He turned slightly, and at the same time I turned around, and then turned around, Yang Liu Yiyi no longer saw the figure, I lowered my head and smiled silently, turned my head and looked at Hui Ju who was far away: "Let's go back."
My heart is no longer cold, I know, what I saw is not a phantom.
Back at the water hall, the seat next to the queen mother was empty. I sat next to Shen Xiyao and asked casually, "Is Lord Yu gone?"
Shen Xiyao looked at me and said with a smile: "There is something in Xihe's mansion, he will go back first."
I nodded and looked at the queen mother with a smile: "I wonder if these dishes are in line with your mother's wishes."
The queen mother smiled with satisfaction: "It fits the taste of Aijia, it's really rare."
I returned with a virtuous smile, my eyes turned to the singing and dancing below, listening to the curling music, but my heart flew to Yanbo Pavilion under the moonlight, to the place where we first met, with a slight smile on the corner of my mouth. .
Shen Xiyao took my hand, and I turned my head and smiled at him, "The emperor." I responded in a low voice, but my heart was calm.
After the banquet, the concubines sent the queen mother to the main entrance of Cining Palace before leaving.
Shen Xiyao and I were about to be sent in. The Queen Mother stopped in front of the door and said lovingly: "You have been tired for a day too. Go back. The queen will have to do with Liu Guiren tomorrow morning. Let’s settle down earlier. Come for lunch. Use it with Aijia."
I went down and said: "I have taken note of my son, mother and queen."
The queen mother looked at me with a smile, turned and walked into the vermilion gate.
Seeing the queen mother entered the main hall, I got up, Shen Xiyao stood beside me, his eyes looked at a wind lantern in the deep door, his eyes were as dark as a pool, and they were not bottomless.
"The emperor," I called to him, "the emperor must settle down earlier."
He looked at me in amazement, and I smiled peacefully, as if there were no ripples in my heart.
"The emperor, the night is already dark, the emperor should return to the Hall of Heart Nurturing and rest soon."
He looked at me and suddenly smiled: "Unhappy?"
I smiled briefly: "The emperor, the concubine cannot bear this guilt." He was taken aback, and then he thought that one of the seven is "jealous", not to mention I am the queen.
I looked at him with a dignified smile: "The emperor, the concubine is the lord of the harem after all. Besides, Guiren Liu was also wronged, but the case has not been investigated. If the concubine was meant to be paid, She returned to the post of concubine."
I was sincere, and Shen Xiyao's eyes were pierced: "I didn't tell you beforehand. Can you blame me?"
I lowered my head and smiled: "The emperor, you are the emperor."
No longer say anything, Shen Xiyao wanted to pull me, I cleverly took the silk kerchief in my sleeve, looked up at him, with the softest smile: "The emperor, the concubine will prepare for Liu Zhaorong's promotion tomorrow morning, and the concubine will go ahead. Quit."
He smiled wryly and nodded.
I walked on the long dark palace road. Behind me was a large number of attendants. The wind blew the corners of my skirt, like a butterfly in the dark night. The moonlight was just right. I smiled slightly, and I saw Kun from a distance. The vermilion gate of Ning Palace is majestic and majestic.
Back in the Kunning Palace, the spirits of the dinner came up with heavy eyelids, and he went to bed early after preparing for the promotion of Noble Liu tomorrow.
The silk brocade quilt was a little cold on my body, I turned over, looked at the red candle burning on the candlestick in front of the bed, and sighed softly.
When Hui Ju was waiting outside tonight, my heart was relieved. Since that night, even if Shen Xiyao sent me guards, there was always a faint fear that lingered.
Especially when you are alone at night, you must light a few red candles.
But tonight, I closed my eyes, but I was not afraid of the darkness at all.
He got up and walked gently to the candlestick, blowing out the red candle.
I heard a "pop", the sound was so loud, accompanied by the sound of eager footsteps, I opened my eyes, it was the boundless darkness, great fear wrapped my whole body, I subconsciously shrank in the corner of the bed, my heart "Suddenly" jumped.
The bed curtain was lifted, my eyes widened in horror and looked at the people coming. There were black shadows. Through the dim moonlight, I saw Hui Ju and Shen Xiyao.
