I don't know if it's the hazy tears that blur my vision, or the heart full of the past that tugs at my thoughts.

walked step by step with his head down, but he didn't know when the emperor stopped.

It was the first time that he was so close to the emperor, and he could clearly see the emperor's hair, as well as the warp and weft lines on the placket.

But Shu E didn't flinch, just raised her head and looked at the emperor in a daze. Shu E could smell the faint fragrance, I don't know if it came from the emperor's clothes, the fragrance was mixed in the floral fragrance baked by the warm breeze around, and the smell was intoxicating.

Somehow, this face, this figure, always has a familiar appearance.

Shu E's hand hadn't touched the hairpin in her hair yet, but she was already thinking that she was weak, and she slid softly from her face and shoulders.

Shu E's eyes were full of tears, but this time, there was no dodging in the slightest.

I don't know how long it took to be quiet like this, the emperor suddenly reached out and grabbed Shu E's shoulders and let her fall into his arms.

Shu E's head was against the emperor's shoulder, and tears finally couldn't help but fall.

I never knew that Emperor Dao's hands were so hot, almost the same as the day when the third young master was drunk, with a scorching temperature. Although the emperor's hand was gently holding Shu E's shoulder, Shu E could still feel the warmth from the emperor's hand through the gauzy light clothes.

This kind of heat seems to be warm water, melting yang, ironing the injustice and sadness in the heart little by little. The heart is still coming and going, but at this moment, there is indescribable peace and tranquility in my heart.

Yes, peace and serene.

Shu E knew clearly in her heart that this person was the emperor, but for some reason, she was greedy for the sense of tranquility at this moment, and the fragrance of birds and flowers floating around.

Between heaven and earth, it seems that only these hands are left to hold themselves, but there is no fear or panic in their hearts. I just want to leave all the unhappiness in my heart in this place where no one can see it.

Shu E's shoulders shrugged slightly, the emperor gently let go of the lantern in his hand, reached out and patted Shu E's back, and said softly: "Shu E, what's wrong?" ”

The emperor is holding a rosewood skeleton Bafang Palace lamp, the lantern is a silk yarn brushed with glue, which fell to the ground, and could not be burned for a while, but the candle flame was extinguished.

It was even darker in all directions, except for the silver man across the sky, and every star was clearly visible. The emperor's voice sounded in Shu E's ears, gentle and intoxicating.

Shu E was slightly startled and raised her head. Shu E saw that the emperor was looking at her with concern, with the emperor's hand on her shoulder, full of panic and shyness, and involuntarily took a step back. However, it was still so close to the emperor, and she could smell the unknown faint fragrance on the emperor's body, Shu E felt even more flustered in her heart, paused, and took two steps back to stand still.

Shu E's heart just thumped. Fang Cai reached out and hugged Shu E, it was not Shu E who was lying on the emperor's shoulder, but only in this way did Shu E feel even more shy.

Shu Eqiang calmed down and saluted: "Shu E is rude...... Please ...... the emperor."

The emperor saw Shu E's shiny hairpin between a bush of black silk, and said softly: "Did you wear this pair of hairpins on your head on the day you entered the palace?" ”

Shu E straightened up, just a burst of crying, the depression in her heart was relieved, and at this moment, her eyes were full of tears, but she no longer cried. Shu E listened to the emperor ask about the hairpin on his head, and the scene of the third young master hurrying to deliver the hairpin that day was like in front of him, and thought that the emperor still remembered that he took the hairpin with him that day, and his heart was sad and warm.

Shu E nodded yes, but saw the emperor looking at her. Shu E's face was hot, and she hurriedly squatted on the ground to help up the palace lantern on the ground, took out the paper media and fire fold from her arms, and prepared to light the palace lantern again.

The green skirt dragged to the ground, like a lotus flower blooming on the water. The emperor looked at Shu E in a daze, and his hanging hand was gently held, as if there was still the tactile sensation on Shu E's shoulder.

Suddenly, Shu E laughed out loud and said to the emperor: "How long has the emperor lit this lamp?" ”

The emperor took advantage of the fire in Shu E's hand to see Shu E take out the burnt candle wick from the lantern, and said with a smile: "When I arrived at Chongwen Pavilion, this lamp has not been extinguished." ”

Shu E extinguished the fire fold in her hand, carried the dull palace lamp and said with a smile: "The starlight is faint, please pay attention to the emperor's feet." ”

The emperor walked in front, and Shu E followed behind.

Follow suit.

The emperor asked softly, "But what is unsatisfactory about life in the palace?" The voice was soft and gentle, as if it was whispering in the ear. Although Shu E couldn't see the emperor's color and expression, she couldn't help but blush when she heard such a voice.

"All the best." Shu E replied softly, "It's just that I miss my family." ”

The emperor slowly stopped and looked back at Shu E. This time, Shu E was walking with full attention, and naturally she would not run into the emperor again. It's just that I don't know why the emperor stopped walking.

However, the pause was only for a moment, and the emperor quickly turned around again and said, "If the family members of the palace want to enter and see each other, there must be a reason. ”

"Well," Shu E replied, "Mrs. Sun once told me." ”

"Mrs. Sun is familiar with the palace rules, so let's listen to it." The emperor said.

Shu E expected that the emperor would never test how many palace rules he knew at this time, but he also said honestly: "In the palace, but there is a major celebration, and the families of concubines and concubines can be summoned to the palace, but they are not allowed to see in private." Concubines are promoted to the second rank of concubines or above, and family members can enter the palace to celebrate, participate in the ceremony, and internal dependents and foreign women can also go to the residence to see privately. If a woman with a life of more than five grades is pregnant and gives birth, her relatives can enter the palace to meet at the concubine's residence regardless of whether they have a grade or not. Those who have made great contributions to the foreign women who have served in the palace, and those who have been promoted to the second rank or above because of their merits, their dependents can also enter the palace to meet each other. ”

"And ......," Shu'e said, but she didn't have to stop.

The emperor said "um" and said, "Don't mention the funeral." When life and death are separated, it is in vain to see each other again. ”

After a pause, the emperor said again: "Brother Ling's wedding is approaching, presumably the Cao Mansion is very lively. ”

Shu E's heart moved slightly, she couldn't figure out the intention of the emperor's words, and for a while, her heart was mixed with joy and sorrow, but Wei Wei agreed: "Yes." ”

"On the same day, your uncle Cao Jue entered Beijing to be the official Zhao Xuan, and the Queen Mother pursued the exploits of your ancestor Cao Gongguohua and promised to marry your brother." The emperor chuckled lightly and continued: "Lin Yue once said that she hadn't seen her little sister for many years after entering the palace, and Xiao Niangniang also said that she heard that the second girl of the Shang family was talented. The queen mother was happy for a while, so she allowed the little sister of the Shang family to enter the palace to visit Linyue on the day she returned to the door after getting married. ”
