I froze for a moment and turned to look at him - what do you mean?

At this time, the two of us had already walked out of this courtyard, just to the front of the hall in front, there was already the sound of Song Mi and their talking, Song Huaiyi immediately cut off the following words, as soon as I turned my head, I saw Pei Yuanxiu already sitting at the top of the round table, looking at me quietly.

Song Huaiyi smiled: "Miss Yan, please first." ”

“…… Well. ”

I was preoccupied, but I immediately put the worry on my face and followed him into the hall.

This banquet, firstly, is to celebrate Pei Yuanxiu's achievements, and secondly, it is probably for some of the things they just negotiated, Pei Yuanxiu didn't say much, but it didn't seem to be in a bad mood, plus Song Mi and Mrs. Song Shao were both articulate, and the banquet was not deserted, but the host and guest were happy.

In the evening, we took our leave.

Sitting in the carriage, because the wind was blowing outside, it was still a little cold, and the surroundings were quiet, so I didn't have the leisure to open the curtain to see the scenery outside, and Pei Yuanxiu drank a few glasses of wine, probably a little drunk now, and just closed his eyes to recuperate.

The two of them sat quietly, listening to the sound of the wheels snatching.

Seeing that he was about to return to the palace, he suddenly spoke: "You went to see Mrs. Zhang today, what did you say after staying for so long?"

I was a little caught off guard, I didn't expect him to ask a question suddenly, I looked up at him, and saw him slowly open his eyes, his eyes were full of wine, and he became clear, so I put up his twelve points of 'spirit' and said, "It's just gossiping for a while." The old man was confused and recalled a lot of things from the past. ”

"Oh, what do you remember?"

“……”

"Do you still remember when we were children?"

I glanced at him and shook my head, "Not really." The old lady recalled some - the past of the emperor. ”

His gaze flickered.

I met his gaze and said, "You-"

As if he knew what I was going to say, he immediately interrupted me and said lightly: "I said, don't mention that person's business." ”

“……”

is so categorical and non-negotiable, obviously, Pei Ji's matter has become one of his biggest taboos.

I was silent for a while, and then said, "Okay, I won't mention him, I want to mention it, the real Yue Qingying." ”

He frowned and looked up at me.

I said, "You said you killed her to keep her shut up, but you also said that you didn't want to kill indiscriminately, but sometimes you don't have a choice. ”

“……”

"I hope that this time, you will choose a solution that will not make you feel guilty. ”

“……”

"There are some people who, although they are a threat to you, are also innocent, and they still have so many years of nurturing grace for you. ”

When I said this, I felt that his whole body was shaking, I don't know if he was trembling, or a little restless with the shaking carriage, when I finished speaking, his face was "pale" and frighteningly pale, but he didn't say a word, just slowly closed his eyes, and said in a dumb voice: "I said, this person, his business, don't mention it again." ”

“……”

"This is the last time. ”

When I heard him say this, I didn't say anything more and kept my mouth shut.

After returning to the palace, someone from Gonggong Liu's side immediately came over and told him that there were people waiting for him in the imperial study, so he did not send me to the dormitory, but asked someone to accompany me and went to the imperial study by himself.

After going out for a day, I was also a little tired, so I took a shower and went to bed early.

However, I didn't fall asleep quickly.

Looking at the flickering candle flame at the head of the 'bed', my mind cleared up, and I recalled the words that Song Huaiyi had said to me during the day, and my mind couldn't help but drift away.

Pei Yuanxiu is going to be crowned queen.

Now he is far deeper than ever before, no one can guess his thoughts, but in this matter, he doesn't seem to completely want to hide from me, the sealed Jingren Palace, the words he said when he took me there, and his thoughts with Song Huaiyi today...... This piece and piece of the pile seems to show that he belongs to me.

But I know very well what I don't want.

When I faced him, I had mixed feelings, but no matter how complicated it was, there was hatred.

How could I possibly accept him canonizing me as his queen?

And I am thinking about one thing more now, Han Zitong had wanted to tell him before that the soldiers in the south now have the intention of returning home, how does Pei Yuanxiu plan to solve this matter. If he really canonized me as the queen, the sisters of the Han family in Jinling will completely lose the initiative, can the people in the south accept it?

Even...... Regardless of whether people in the south can accept it, just talking about Han Ruoshi personally, can she accept such a fate?

I vaguely feel that this incident is just the beginning, and it has already been full of mountains and rains.

Probably what I'm going to face next is an even bigger storm.

Time passes day by day.

This year's winter lasted for a long time, but the winter still has to pass after all, the 'spring' wind is coming in waves, getting warmer and warmer, and gradually, you can also see the willow trees in the palace walls that have been ravaged by war, and there are even sword scars on the trunks slowly spit out new shoots.

In front of me, there is a little 'spring' meaning.

But what I wonder is that Pei Yuanxiu's ascension to the throne seems to have been delayed.

It stands to reason that he is in urgent need of money now, and the letters urged by Shengjing are sent to the imperial study one a day, and sometimes even two or three times a day, although I don't know what the content is, and no one tells me, but I think about it, it will not be any greeting and chatter.

Only when he ascends the throne, proclaims himself emperor, reforms the system, and commands the world, can it be possible to fill all the vacancies of officials, and then issue an edict to collect taxes, and only then can he have the money to make up for the lion's mouth in Shengjing.

However, he never did.

Could it be that you are waiting for a good day?

I can't help but think of when he married me in Jinling, and on that day, I seemed to see the yellow calendar clearly written-avoid marriage.

Thinking about it like this, people have a sense of powerlessness that can't escape their fate, but in fact, I know very well that even if it is appropriate to get married that day, even if everything goes well, there may not be any difference between me and his current situation.

Many things happen by accident.

He and I will only go to the same end.

But I don't know what will happen to his accession to the throne.

I barely fell asleep until the next morning, when I finally slept lightly for a while, but I always heard the footsteps of many people outside, back and forth, and finally pulled me out of my sleep.

The number of people in the palace is getting more and more day by day.

As soon as I walked out of the big door, I heard a low and hoarse voice of a 'woman' who said, "Hey, doesn't it mean that this place is the emperor's bedroom?"

As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw a very tall 'woman' standing at the bottom of the steps.

I'm already tall, and this 'woman' is taller than me, her eyebrows and eyes are very thick, obviously I can see that there is no makeup to embellish, but it also gives people a feeling of heavy makeup, but her skin is rough, and it looks very different from those 'women' who apply grease and powder.

And look at the clothes on her body......

I seemed to have understood something in my heart, and at this time, the voice of the evil Hou Qi sounded on the side - "Where the emperor lives, of course the emperor's 'woman' can enter." It's just that it's her now, and in the future, I don't know who is in and out. ”

Turning his head, it was indeed Evil Hou Qi, who slowly walked from behind the 'girl'.

The 'girl' understood, let out a soft "oh", then looked up at me, looked up and down, and her eyes became a little playful.

And I, too, looked her up and down in return.

Feeling that my gaze was not kind, and Evil Hou Qi obviously did not intend to stage a mutual acquaintance and laughter with me, he only said to the 'girl': "Gerdi, let's go." ”

"Let's go now?"

"Let's go, anyway, there's no one who matters here. ”

After saying that, Evil Hou Qi sneered, turned around and left, the 'girl' was obviously unfamiliar with everything around her, and hurriedly turned around and followed him, but when she left, she also looked back at me, and there was a little curiosity flashing in those deep and intense big eyes.

I stood on the steps, watching the backs of the two of them walk away, and when they went out, they happened to run into Gonggong Liu, and the evil Hou Qi ignored it, and left with the 'girl'.

Father-in-law Liu also looked at them a few times, then turned around and walked in, saw me standing on the steps, and said softly, "Miss Yan is up." ”

I said, "Who is she?"

Gonggong Liu said: "It's like a person from the north, who arrived yesterday evening. ”

"Oh. ”

Seeing that I nodded, there was nothing else to ask, Grandpa Liu glanced at me again and whispered, "There are a few more." ”

"Oh......?"

"It's just that the prince treats this sister most affectionately. ”

I nodded, "Oh......"

Seeing that I came and went just "oh", and there was no other expression, Father-in-law Liu stopped talking and asked me where I was going, so that people could accompany me, I thought about it and said with a smile: "Forget it, I'd better stay here, it's cold outside." ”

Gonggong Liu turned his head to look outside, the 'spring' breeze was warm, and then smiled: "Miss Yan, still take care of your health." ”

After saying that, he took his people and left.

I didn't immediately turn back to my room, but stood on the steps, and watched for a while, until I saw the figures of the evil Hou Qi and the 'girl' named Geldi disappear between the red walls and green trees, and then I exhaled softly.

I now understand why the day when Pei Yuanxiu ascended the throne and became emperor has been pushed back.
