Chapter 295: The Eve of the Family Feast (22)
Concubine Li's eyes were only left with a bright yellow back.
The back walked extremely fast and did not look back.
The pumpkin cake on the table had already been cold, and two chopsticks had fallen on the ground.
For so many years, she has been looking at this back.
In the first year, she waited for him every day in Xiangrui Palace.
Every time, it's a disappointment.
I can only see him once a year, and that time is all in a hurry.
In her impression, the deepest thing is that back.
Second, third, fourth........
There is only one day a year when we can see each other for a short time.
But every year, this back will lose a point.
A year is not as robust as a year.
This dragon robe was originally very fitted, but it was getting looser and looser year by year.
She didn't know what was going on with him.
I just feel that he is becoming more and more silent year by year, and the smile on his face is becoming more and more hypocritical year by year.
A few years ago, the day he came was her holiday.
will dress himself up inside and out, will let the small kitchen prepare a table of dishes, and will let the palace people clean the Xiangrui Palace that day.
On that day, she would become very nervous when she was always easy-going, and she would not allow problems in every link and every step.
Even, on that day, he would never look at her more.
He wouldn't pay attention to the wedding crested hairpin she wore on her head, the kodan she had always painted on her hands, and even less the new gown she wore only once a year.
On that day, he wouldn't even leave time for her to eat together.
He wouldn't know that every time, the delicacies of the mountains and seas on that table were tasted by her alone with tears in her eyes.
In the New Year, it is a celebration of the whole harem, but she is the only one who is deserted.
Because he doesn't like Taifu.
So even if it is the Chinese New Year, she will not invite her parents into the palace.
And so, year after year.
She still looks forward to his arrival every day, but there is a faint change in that expectation.
Even if she heard the news that he was not coming, she would be disappointed, but she would no longer wonder if he didn't like her at all.
Because she knows it all too well.
He just doesn't like himself.
She looked at his back for so many years.
She had been looking forward to him for so many years.
Finally, after a year of his gradual loosening, she finally let him go.
Is it because of his ruthlessness?
It doesn't seem to be.
Because of his unloved?
It doesn't seem to be.
Perhaps, more of herself.
She finally gave herself a reason to let go.
A reason to finally find after so many years.
It's not that she doesn't love anymore, it's that she's tired.
It has been used for so many years, and it has been loved for so many years.
She finally felt tired.
Like the last straw in the hands of a drowning man, this child may be her last glimmer of hope to stay here.
Another nine months, after which she could truly let him go.
"Cheng Qing, I have loved you for so many years, and to this day, you are still my favorite person. ”
This sentence, she only dared to mumble to herself in this uninhabited room.
Her voice was so soft, so light that it was like a feather, and it slowly fell to the ground.
After all, this voice was not heard by the people outside the door.
"Drive and return to the palace. ”
When Cheng Qing came out, there were bloodshot eyes in his eyes, and his face was pale and terrifying.
His pace was extremely fast, and Decai and the others were almost unable to keep up.
In Decai's impression, the last time he saw Cheng Qing like this was many years ago, he made it himself.......
Thinking of this, Decai couldn't help but shudder.
Today's Cheng Qing is terrible.
Because Cheng Qing personally indicated that he wanted to go to Xiangrui Palace, Ju'an Palace did not prepare dinner today.
"Decai, I'm going to take a bath, and I'm not allowed to get close to it without my permission. ”
"Your Majesty, you haven't had dinner yet!"
"I'm going to take a bath first, and you can prepare dinner as you like. ”
"Yes........"
Decai shook the dust in his hand, and his eyes were full of uneasiness.
The more quiet and quiet Cheng Qing is, the more scared he is.
Even at the door, he could have predicted what was going on inside.
Concubine Li is no longer the Concubine Li who begged him to remind him to go to Xiangrui Palace before.
The concubine Li, who was looking forward to the emperor every day, finally let go after one conspiracy and one injury after another.
Therefore, he has always felt that only people like Concubine De can survive in this harem.
She lives too clearly.
She can clearly distinguish between her feelings and wants.
She is not a woman who depends on the emperor to live.
Concubine Li, in the final analysis, she lost on the word "love".
She is too affectionate, she doesn't know the survival of this royal family, this love word is absolutely indispensable.
But now he feels even more sorry for the emperor.
This arrogant man, finally, lost the last person in this world who really loved him.
And this loss was when he saw his heart clearly.
The more he wanted to cherish something, the tighter he grasped it, the tighter he became, but the closer he was to loss.
It was because of this sudden emotion that he used the stupidest way to test it.
The cost of this experiment was enormous.
He lost her.
"Do you have some spare time to take a bath here today?"
The sound of laughter came from behind the screen.
Cheng Qing closed his eyes and ignored it.
"Why, ignore me? What just happened?"
"I suggest you end this topic at once. Otherwise, I don't guarantee that you will be able to walk out of this palace safely today. ”
"I'm so scared!"
The man in black walked out from behind the screen, and his steps today were full of leisure, and he looked like he had come here to see jokes.
"Tomorrow is the family feast of that Rauschzi. Why, you're so well prepared, seeing that you're so laid-back, you still have time to go to Concubine Li's to quarrel........"
"Smack. ”
After a sharp sound, the man in black couldn't help but pat his chest.
Good guys, are you serious today?
On the pillar not far away, a small hidden weapon is inserted.
Move a little more to the side, and I'm afraid that his head is going to bloom today.
"Are you so angry? I'm going to kill you. ”
The man in black sat on Cheng Qing's exclusive recliner and looked at Cheng Qing with his head propped up, "I didn't expect you guy, the shorter your life is, the more this makes the ability of the secret weapon grow more and more........."
"Concubine Li, don't die. This time I really don't want to die. ”
The voice of the man in the pool was muffled, and he closed his eyes, as if he were asleep.
"Don't you like that girl in the first place, what if she wants you? ”
"She's pregnant. ”
"It's okay, isn't it just pregnant? ”
"She said she was going to the cold palace. ”
"It's okay, I know you won't let her go to the cold palace. ”
"I gave her back her freedom, and let her out of the palace after giving birth. ”
"It's okay........ Wait a minute. You let her out of the palace?!"
The man in black immediately retracted his posture.
"How can you just let a concubine out of the palace? You don't want to lose face? Wait! That's not the point. The point is, how can you let her out of the palace? She is the daughter of the Taifu! You have an important chess piece in your hand!"
"Because I found out that I was in love with her. ”
Cheng Qing didn't even say anything.
He pressed his eyebrows, looking a little painful, "Instead of letting her be tortured in the palace, I was tortured by her." It's better to give her back a freedom. She was happy, and I was happy. ”
"You ........"
The man in black found that he didn't know how to scold him.
In the past, no matter what he did, he could think of a way to scold him, but this time, he really couldn't scold.
"I know that I can't love people, and I'm not qualified to love people...... But you know what. When I saw her wet eyes, I felt a heartache. I've never tasted this in my life. I thought it was my delusion, but when I heard that she was pregnant, I had a moment of joy, not that false joy, but that, I finally had a baby, thank God she gave birth to a baby for me........"
Old trees bloom, dead trees bloom in spring.
Cheng Qing, the old iron tree, is finally about to blossom and bear fruit.
There was a crack in the expression of the man in black under the veil. "But she said she doesn't love you anymore. ”
"yes, she finally couldn't hold on anymore. ”
