Chapter 393: Liyuan Opera (3)
But the little emperor was reluctant to leave him, but he was even more reluctant to let him dissipate.
"And will I ever see you again?"
The little emperor cried and pulled the sleeve of "Geng Changqing" and asked him.
- He originally wanted to bring the entire theater back to the palace, so that "Geng Changqing" could follow together.
However, it is impossible to think.
Where in the palace can there be such a ninth-rate existence.
So the little emperor could only cry and be rejected.
However, when they were about to separate, "Geng Changqing" finally relented, so he pointed to Xiaodouzi, who was practicing in the house at that time, and said: "He is going to become a famous character in the future, and I will not dissipate if I follow him, if I ...... When you grow up and remember me, just go to him. β
A farewell is a year.
The emperor gradually grew up in the palace, and as an unfavored concubine, the more difficult his life was, the more he could recall his life in the theater at that time.
The four days that were originally different became more and more beautiful after being beautified by countless memories.
- The wonderful little emperor only thinks of it in the middle of every unbearable night.

The sun is not as strong as at noon, and it feels very comfortable to be warm on people, Xiaotu pricked a piece of fruit from the fruit bowl and bit it into his mouth, and after a while, he threw away the silver skewer in his hand, and lazily raised his head and called the maid who was waiting far away.
"Qiu Ming, what's new inside and outside these days?"
The maid who called Qiu Ming stepped forward with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and replied respectfully: "Your Highness Qiqi, nothing new has happened. β
Xiao Tu's slender eyebrows were slightly raised, and his fingertips tapped lightly on the small table next to him, and the nails and jade collided with a very crisp sound, which made Qiu Ming, who was standing down, unconsciously feel a pang in his heart, and his expression became more and more cautious.
"Oh? Soβwhere is the princess Bright Moon?"
Qiu Ming's heart jumped suddenly, and then he suddenly lowered his head, pressed all the thoughts in his heart to the bottom of his heart, and only knelt down to answer the eldest princess's question with a "plop".
"Please also ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to atone for her sins, the slave is incompetent and has not paid attention to this matter. β
Xiao Tu glanced at her, didn't say anything more, didn't say anything to let her get up, raised her hand to herself, and another maid stepped forward and held her arm to make her stand up.
- It's not that Xiaotu has to make such an appearance, the key is that she just came to this world, although she only used means to control these palace maids, but it is not like Princess Mingyue's mansion, the palace people's awe of Mingyue is from the heart.
Xiao Tu's heart was racing, but his face was silent, he raised his eyes to look at the sky, and said with a smile: "Look at the sky, Qiu Ying, you say, the scenery in the imperial garden is good at this time?"
Qiu Ying was the palace maid who was holding Xiao Tu, and when she heard this, she lowered her head slightly and smiled: "The sun is just right at this time, and the scenery in the garden must be excellent." β
Xiao Tu hooked his lips, glanced at her with a smile on his side, then raised his foot and turned past Qiu Ming, and said with a smile:
"Then I'll take a look. β
Qiu Ying responded and followed Xiao Tu's footsteps, and the palace maids scattered around followed Xiao Tu's footsteps one by one, leaving Qiu Ming to kneel there alone, not even daring to raise his head.
The scenery in the Imperial Garden is indeed very good.
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is just right, neither hot nor cold, there are seasonal flowers in the imperial garden at four o'clock, and the palace people who take care of them will take care of these flowers and plants very well.
Xiao Tu's gaze swept over the extremely bright flowers one by one, and a rather gentle smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After a long time, she stopped in front of a pavilion.
The pavilion was originally for the palace concubine or a nobleman to rest after being tired of walking in the garden, and all the furnishings in it were very complete, Xiaotu raised his feet and found a suitable position to sit down, and then leaned on the pillar, as if he was very serious about admiring the delicate flowers in the garden.
Time passed bit by bit, and the palace people who came with her stood there respectfully, feeling apprehensive and slanderous about Her Royal Highness the eldest princess's sudden temperament today.
Just as Autumn Shadow couldn't help but cautiously glance up at Xiaotu and wanted to say something, a slight sound of footsteps suddenly approached not far away.
Autumn Shadow was slightly stunned, and her eyes widened quickly.
There are two kinds of footsteps in this sound.
One is the sound of a very casual stroll, and the other is a very slight sound of many footsteps stepping on a rhythm.
Qiu Ying only felt that her heart was beating suddenly and irregularly, and in an instant, she suddenly raised her head, and saw Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, who had been leaning on the side of the pillar without any movement, suddenly turned her head sideways, and glanced at her with a smile.
Xiaotu tilted his head, stood up and walked down the steps of the pavilion, and in the distance, he saw a bright yellow figure approaching from there.
The bright yellow figure stopped the singing prepared by the palace people beside him, raised his head, and looked straight at Xiaotu.
Xiaotu was stepping on the last step, meeting his gaze, and then lowered his head.
"Songyang has seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed with Jin'an. β
The other party stared at her, paused, and said, "No courtesy." β
Xiao Tu straightened up, raised his foot to the side and gave way, and the emperor walked directly into the pavilion and sat down, and nodded to Xiao Tu again.
"Sit down, don't be inhibited. β
Xiaotu answered in a whisper, and then sat obediently not far from the emperor.
After the emperor sat down, he stared at the delicate flowers not far away, and seemed to be a little distracted.
Xiao Tu knew that the emperor, who controlled the entire palace very well, already knew that Princess Mingyue had brought a drama called "Geng Changqing" to the princess's mansion.
- Princess Mingyue did not get married, but she was willful and begged the emperor to open a mansion outside, and raised a bunch of male pets inside, so that the emperor received a large wave of impeachment.
The two sat opposite each other, neither of them saying a word.
After a long time, it was almost dusk, and the emperor suddenly came back to his senses, and when he turned his head to see Xiaotu, there was a moment of surprise in his eyes.
"The weather has been getting cooler recently, so if there is anything missing, just send someone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. β
He casually said such a specious concern.
Xiaotu nodded.
"Yes, Songyang knows. β
When the emperor saw that she answered, he only nodded casually.
Xiao Tu saw him raise his finger and press it in the center of his eyebrows, and there was a feeling of exhaustion in his eyes.
Xiao Tu couldn't help but pause in his heart, looked up at him and shouted, "Yuntian-"
As soon as she spoke, there was a look of panic on her face, and the next second she stood up in a panic, and then lowered her head and prepared to kneel down to plead guilty.
But before she could kneel, the emperor reached out and grabbed her arm.
"Sit down. β
Xiaotu looked up, still with a look of horror in his eyes.
However, the emperor's tired eyes suddenly flashed with some light smiles.
"It's been a long time since I've heard you call me that. β
Xiao Tu's eyes widened, and he looked a little panicked.
The Emperor glanced sideways at her, and suddenly sighed softly.
"You're getting more and more timid. β
Xiaotu lowered his head and muttered without speaking.
The emperor sighed like that, and without waiting for Xiaotu to answer, he laughed to himself again.
"You've always been very timid. β
The pavilion was very quiet, except for the sound of the wind and the rustling of the leaves being blown, only the emperor said that from time to time.
The emperor said a few words, perhaps because he felt bored, so he suddenly looked at Xiaotu and asked in a low voice, "You are also afraid of me, aren't you?"
Xiao Tu didn't speak, and he didn't even look at him with his head down.
Then the emperor burst out laughing.
"I know. You are all afraid of me. β
There was a hula kneeling around, Xiaotu hesitated, but did not kneel down like the palace people, but raised his head, his eyes were slightly red.
She bit her lip hard, opened her mouth, and said, "It's not ......."
The Emperor met her eyes and was slightly stunned.
"Songyang is not afraid. Songyang is just ......"
She was only for a long time, but she didn't say why.
However, the emperor's face suddenly softened, and he shook his head with a wry smile.
- He knows Songyang's character.
He looked at the slim girl in front of him, and his face gradually spread a look that could be called gentle.
After a long time, he raised his hand, gently touched the girl's soft and silky hair, and chuckled: "After so many years, only you have not changed." β
Xiao Tu blinked, let him touch his hair, and only looked up at him seriously.
"I, I, you haven't changed. β
The Emperor smiled, withdrew his hand, and shook his head slowly, but very firmly.
"No, I've changed. β
- He is no longer the boy he was when he first met Songyang.
Xiaotu bit her lip and stared at him without speaking.
The emperor looked at her and suddenly asked, "What did you just suddenly ask me to do?"
Xiaotu blinked blankly, and it took a while to react, he lowered his head and pinched the corner of his clothes, and said very quietly: "I'm just, you look tired, I mean......"
She paused, and looked up at the Emperor as if she had mustered up courage.
"I know you're not the same as before, but no matter what, if you're tired, just rest for a while and then continue. β
The emperor was really stunned by what she said.
I don't know how long it took for him to finally come back to his senses.
- To say that the emperor who said nothing bloody and rigid in the court would be stunned by such a short sentence from a little woman, no one would dare to believe it.
Xiaotu looked at him.
"You are the emperor, even if you are willful, it doesn't matter. β
As she said this, she remembered the first time she saw the emperor in Songyang's memory.
At that time, she was the county lord who was favored by the old emperor in the palm of his hand, and he was the queen's concubine who was openly and secretly excluded and bullied by a group of palace people.
- The identities of the two people are obviously so different, but in this palace, if the two of them are put together, the palace people will only buy a small county lord's account.
At that time, Songyang was twelve years old, and Yuntian was already twenty years old.
- Yuntian is the emperor's word, and it is the word that the emperor himself gave himself.
Twenty-year-old Yun Tian already knew that in this palace, he was the one that everyone wanted to die.
But he didn't want to die.
He hadn't been able to see Geng Changqing again, and he felt that he still wanted to live.
So no matter how hard he worked, even if he was ridiculed and instructed by his younger brothers to do something that the palace people did, on the surface, Yuntian was never angry.
He only laughed humbly, obediently bullied by his titular half-brothers, and when they left, he limped to a desolate and uninhabited palace, and healed alone like a lone beast.
Once, when he came to this secret palace with a wound as usual and was about to take care of himself a little, he found that there was suddenly an extra person in this originally empty palace.
The little girl looked a little thin, and the clothes she wore were very ornate, but they were covered with mud and looked terrible.
Yun Tian knew her - she was the county lord brought back from outside the palace by the old emperor, and she was very favored by the old emperor.
Yun Tian was a little surprised by Songyang's embarrassed appearance, but he didn't say anything, just walked to the place where he usually sat as if no one was around, untied his clothes and looked at the wound, and tied the bleeding place with a strip of cloth to stop the bleeding.
- An unfavored sister-in-law of his, he couldn't even get a little medicine for his injuries, and he wasn't like this when the queen was still there, but unfortunately, the queen had died in despair a few years ago.
Little Songyang stared at Yun Tiancha in surprise at his wounds, and was frightened by the wounds on his body for a while, until Yun Tian glanced at her indifferently and then left, and he didn't come back to his senses.
This is the first time two people have met, and theoretically it is just a one-sided relationship, and there is no relationship to talk about.
However, Songyang Mingli is favored by the old emperor, but secretly she is always bullied, and she is not a person who will complain - and she is not willing to have too much contact with the old emperor.
Although the little girl didn't know that the old emperor intended to wait for her and then seal the concubine, she could also feel that his eyes were always strange every time he looked at her.
was bullied a lot, and if they didn't resist, those people would always get worse, so Songyang gradually became injured every now and then.
I have to say that in the entire palace, if you want not to be discovered, there is really only such a desolate palace.
You come and go, Songyang and Yuntian always meet together, although the two of them don't speak, they inexplicably have a feeling of sympathy.
Twenty-year-old Yun Tianxin was hard and ruthless enough, but even so, when Songyang released kindness to him, he still couldn't help but accept it.
- If you want to talk about the reason, it is probably because Songyang's eyes are exactly the same as the eyes of "Geng Changqing" in my memory.
