Chapter 42 Run-in Period

The cold winter wind was whining outside, and the window paper was blown and puffed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The palace was eerily quiet, and a tank of goldfish raised under the porch made a gurgling and foaming sound. The eunuchs and palace maids waiting outside the door were silent one by one, and they didn't dare to come out.

After a long time, I only heard Chu Yao exhale deeply, "Xu'er, I promise you, since you, you are the only one!" The person next to him, even if he has a name, is only a name. So, can you say yes? Qin Yingxue, let's give her a concubine for the time being. “

Liu Xunxuan was noncommittal, and after glancing at him, he picked a cattail grass in a few bottles to tease the goldfish.

Chu Yao saw that she didn't speak anymore, thinking that there was no need for him to stay in Mingyue Palace for a nap, so he got up and prepared to leave.

Liu Xunxuan only pretended not to see it, and kept teasing the goldfish in his hand.

Chu Yao saw that there was no one to keep him, and it was really unnecessary for him to stay here to please her. So while thinking so, he strode away.

Liu Xunxuan listened to his footsteps and walked away, the agility in his eyes was lost, leaving only boundless coldness and despair. She threw away the cattail grass in her hand, closed her eyes, held her breath and concentrated, and gathered her consciousness, she saw Chu Yao walking towards the palace gate of Mingyue Palace, followed by a group of little eunuchs. She didn't see any sadness on his face.

Chu Yao walked to the palace gate and suddenly heard Liu Xunxuan's voice talking. The sound seemed to come from a distance, as if it was the sound of the Great Light Wheel Turning to shake the air, but the meaning was so clear!

He looked back at the eunuchs behind him, and they all looked at him in a daze as if they hadn't heard, they didn't understand why the emperor suddenly didn't leave again. Chu Yao was shocked in his heart, and then he realized that Liu Xunxuan actually said the words directly in his head!

"Everyone has a different life. You have yours, and I have mine. I respect your life, your choices and decisions, and I will not interfere. After all, I prefer to manipulate myself rather than interfere with you. In my life, I can approve of it or oppose it. It's completely in my own hands. If I like you, I will be with you, and if I don't like you, I will leave you. That's my freedom! And you, who seem to have everything, have lost this most precious thing, which is freedom. I'm not a hostage to the rules, I'm just myself. And you're stuck in this rule. Am you talking about me? I hope this appointment counts!! ”

Liu Xunxuan's voice disappeared, but it seemed to echo in the air, like a ripple in the middle of the lake, beating Chu Yao's soul again and again. Chu Yao frowned, closed his eyes, and a heavy feeling of suffocation weighed heavily on his heart.

I like you, so I'm with you. I don't like you, so I leave you.

Is that so? She's just so easy and casual. Don't care about anything, don't care about anything. She is only true to her own feelings. Gently fluttering, you will control your destiny. Are you a hostage who doesn't make rules? Can I not be a hostage of the imperial power?

Chu Yao slowly opened his eyes, and all the scenery seemed to be different, as if they were covered with a layer of blue mist.

He unconsciously looked up at the sky.

There is only one outline left of the vague sun, and the sun has set to the west, sprinkling half of the blue sky, obliquely running through the entire palace wall.

Soon, the emperor's edict and the edict of the concubine came down one after another. However, the ceremony after the closure was not scheduled. According to the courtiers' speculation, it was because the newly appointed empress did not want to share the emperor with others, and was a jealous woman. Besides, because the prime minister's daughter canonized the concubine at the same time as her, and was in charge of the harem, she felt that it was a slap in the face, so she didn't have the face to do anything about the ceremony.

The courtiers speculated whether they were right or not, but Liu Xunxuan only supported himself ********, didn't think about anything, didn't care about anything, stayed in the Mingyue Palace every day, basking in the sun.

Well. That's right, basking in the sun.

The leaves of the osmanthus tree in the Mingyue Palace were rustled by the cold wind, Zihuai wrapped his clothes tightly, and trotted all the way to Liu Xunxuan's dormitory.

"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the child wants to raise but does not wait. I stay in this palace all day long, and I can't go out of the door, and I can be spread like that outside, it's really fresh! As soon as Zihuai stepped into Liu Xunxuan's courtyard, he heard her voice coming.

Liu Xunxuan was reclining on a reclining chair in the courtyard, playing with a bamboo flute in his hand.

Zihuai knew that she saw her coming, and this was for her. So he hurried forward.

"Queen Mother, why are you lying here? The wind is bitterly cold, and your leg has been seriously injured, why can't you keep it in the house? “

Liu Xun stretched his waist and got up lazily, "You're right, your body still needs to be tight." If your body is bad, you are still the only one who suffers, and the people next to you will not be able to suffer for you even if they care about it. What's more, it's estimated that I can only care about it. “

How could Zihuai's clever ghost not hear the resentful taste of the resentful woman in Liu Xunxuan's words. She is also anxious for Mrs. in her heart, the master has never been to Mingyue Palace since the last unpleasant conversation with Mrs., and the rewards are still common, but no one is seen. She also went to inquire about the nullah and Qu Sixia, but they all replied, "Don't speculate about the holy will."

More than half a month has passed, and there is still no sign of reconciliation between the two. One is busy with political affairs every day until his mind is black, sometimes he reviews and recites all night, and sometimes pulls out eighteen stars to practice swords in the middle of the night, which makes the eighteen of them complain one by one. The other is to lie in the palace every day, either on the couch, or on the bamboo chair, or on the roof, or on the tree, after all, to lie down, lying all day long.

Zihuai felt that she couldn't stand it anymore, so she stepped forward to help Liu Xunxuan and accompanied her into the inner room.

"Queen Mother, let's wait and see."

Liu Xunxuan glanced at her with slanted eyes, "When there is no one, you still call me Mrs., but it is more pleasing to the ear." “

"Yes."

Zihuai didn't know that the reason why Liu Xunxuan was always lying down was because her legs did start to hurt again. But she didn't want Zihuai to know, because if Zihuai knew, it would mean that Chu Yao knew. She was conflicted in her heart, on the one hand, she wanted Chu Yao to care about her and the two could regain warmth, but on the other hand, she didn't want him to feel as if she was deliberately pretending to be weak to seek his sympathy.

When he arrived at the inner room, Liu Xunxuan was still lying down on the soft couch. Because of her anger and leg pain, she didn't find out what Chu Yao was doing every day. So she asked Zihuai, "What's going on in the palace recently?" In fact, she just wanted to know what Chu Yao had done these days, whether he had summoned someone to sleep at night, and whether Qin Yingxue had eaten or not.

Zi Huai slightly caught what she meant, and there was really nothing big in the palace, so he told her about Chu Yao's abnormal state in the past few days, and the concubine's Silk Heron Hall Chu Yao had never even stepped into it.

Liu Xunxuan nodded. Qin Yingxue has been seen a few times, and she is still a simple woman, unlike her father, if Chu Yao really fulfills her promise that she is the only one Liu Yingxue, then Qin Yingxue is indeed a little pitiful.

As usual, the concubines and the women of the harem have to come to the queen every day to ask for peace, but she is too troublesome, plus her legs hurt and she is unwilling to dress properly and sit properly, and another point is that she, the queen, has no real power, and those women are just scolding the concubine when they come, so she exempts everything she can avoid, and now almost all the teams asking for peace have moved to Qin Yingxue's Silk Heron Palace. She was also happy to be pure, and she also felt in her heart that this was what Qin Yingxue deserved.
