Yuxiu Palace.

Yin Fuxi has been tossing and turning for several nights and can't sleep.

Tonight, she simply lifted the thin quilt, got off the bed lightly, glanced at Xiao Pian who was sleeping soundly in the ear room, put on a thin robe and walked out of the hall.

The moon and stars are scarce, and the evening breeze blows through the grass, rustling the branches.

Descending the steps, she did not go far, but sat down on the steps.

Raise your head and look at the faint moonlight.

And under the mottled shadows of the trees, the tall figure seemed to have melted into the night.

Chu Yin didn't understand why he would take advantage of the night to visit Yuxiu Palace, but when he reacted, he had already entered the palace.

To his indignation, such a large palace had not even seen a palace maid and eunuch who was keeping vigil, and even the guards who were originally guarding outside the palace did not know where to go.

And this barrenness of the garden made his anger go up to a new level.

After three years of ignorance, he never knew that she was living so hard.

No matter how much he snubbed her, she was also the former emperor and queen, and even more his concubine, he didn't know that the servants of this harem were so arrogant.

It seems that it is time for Su Yue to discipline him.

He thought so, but saw that the man on the steps had already risen, and although he could only see some figure from a long distance, he was sure that she had lost a lot of weight.

He watched her walk back quietly, a hint of complexity flashed between his eyebrows, and he took a step easily, but he stubbornly froze.

……

And when Yin Fuxi was about to push open the door of the palace, he made a move and slowly turned around.

As if sensing it, she looked in the direction of the few plum trees in the courtyard.

She watched carefully.

Even though the moon was misty and the night was dark, she knew at a glance that he was coming, and the man she had never forgotten appeared in front of her without warning.

For a while, she was a little stunned, and she couldn't say how she felt.

In the first month when she was sent to Yuxiu Palace, she had sworn that even if he stood in front of her, coaxing herself as before, she would never compromise.

However, he did not appear, and she began to be at a loss, and even began to reflect on her own mistakes.

So that year, she learned to compromise, learned to be well-behaved and obedient, in fact, as long as he came to see her, he found her different.

However, it didn't.

The years passed like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, the palace maids and eunuchs of Yuxiu Palace had already seen that she had lost her favor, and they all looked for a relationship to run to other palaces, but she herself didn't know it, staying in this cold palace, looking forward to his appearance day after day.

It was another year for the flowers to bloom, and she leaned under the plum tree, looking at the barren scenery of the courtyard, and suddenly realized that she was the one who was abandoned, and the emperor's so-called joy was so shallow.

She gradually understood... Waiting, what a heart-eating beast, it devoured all her perceptions, whether it was love or hate, it was just a dream bubble.

Dream bubble!

She had fantasized countless times about what it would be like to see him again, waiting hopelessly in the past life, but in this life, it was realized.

Hate? Love? Or is it a love-hate affair?

She raised her bare hand, tucked a strand of hair hanging down from her forehead, lowered her little face, and felt the beating in her chest.

Knock, knock, knock.

Not fast or slow, not because of his arrival a point faster or half a point slower.

Originally... Her love has long been accompanied by the boundless waiting of the past life and the present life.

She is no longer looking forward to it!

She raised her little face slightly, looking at him as handsome as before, with long and narrow sword eyebrows, and the dark Mozi was too deep and deep, which would make people's hearts beat and indulge in it at first glance, but in her current opinion, such a man is too complicated and deep, and she will not love it again in this life, or rather, she dare not love it again.

…

Yin Fuxi's mind Chu Yin naturally didn't know, since the day he received the brocade box, he had an extra layer of inexplicable thoughts about her, how much he still cared about her, and when he learned that this woman who had loved him since he was a child was going to cut off his love for himself, he was inevitably a little angry, as if something that belonged to him was gone.

But after his anger passed, he began to wonder if his initial decision was too unforgiving for her. The initial anger had now turned into a sense of panic in my heart.

He didn't love her, and even said that he was using her, but he was used to her loving him, and in his heart, she had been engraved with his logo since he was young, her body and mind were his, and he never thought and didn't allow her to let go!

Seeing each other again after three years, he couldn't say what it felt like, but he felt a little itchy in his heart, as if something was about to break through the ground.

Chu Yin had wanted to see her again, what kind of expression would she have, indignant? Exasperation? Or is it shy?

But I didn't expect it to be like this.

"The concubine has seen the emperor" saluted in a proper manner, and her voice was calm and alienated.

When did she become so well-behaved?

If she had the same temperament as she is in the early years, how could she bother her?

He saw that she lowered her head, and that her cheeks, which had been a little baby fat, had transformed into a perfect melon seed face, and that her body was more than a little thinner than before.

Chu Yin's eyes dimmed a little, it seems that it is time for the palace maids and eunuchs in this palace to clean up, if it weren't for the deduction of food, how could she have lost so much weight in the past three years.

He thought too much, but forgot that the person in front of him was still half-kneeling, and when he reacted, a trace of chagrin naturally crossed his heart, in the past, she knelt just for show, where is it as serious as now.

"Let's go flat"

"Xie Dijun" slowly stood up, and grabbed the corner of his clothes with his bare hands, even though his knees were swollen and painful, but Yin Fuxi's expression was not half revealed.

The two of them stood a few feet apart, and did not speak again.

It wasn't until he saw her slightly trembling body that he noticed that she was only wearing two thin pieces, if it was in the past, she should have complained coquettishly, but now that she was standing in front of her, she was not humble or arrogant with her head down.

Chu Yin's brows furrowed slightly, and his thin lips opened slightly

"What was written in the brocade box that day, but is it true?"

In fact, he wanted to ask her to go back to the room to rest, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he said something different.

But his questioning was natural in Yin Fuxi's eyes.

The sudden appearance of a person who has been ignoring him for three whole years is not difficult to imagine what he is called.

So she also knew that today's answer would determine her days to come.

Even if she no longer loves him, but she doesn't want to live too aggrieved, if any casual cat and dog can bully her, then what is the point of her reliving her life?

The corners of her mouth hooked up an extremely faint smile, Yin Fuxi's skin itself was excellent, otherwise there would not be that ballad praising her appearance that spread throughout the Chu Kingdom.

As the saying goes, the more you look at the beauty under the moon, the more beautiful you are, and the beauty smile under the moon is also extremely pleasing to the eye, and Rao is the king who has the beauty of the world is inevitably attracted, especially in front of him is the beauty who has a little affection for him.

His mood couldn't help but improve.

"The monarch used to put his concubines under house arrest in this Yuxiu Palace, and the concubines couldn't get out, and the emperor never came to visit, so the concubines thought, maybe the emperor has long forgotten, if that's the case... That's not as good as... What if you don't..."

There was indeed not a day in the past when she was not looking forward to his arrival, so these words were also true, but after all, it was just the past, and now she no longer has any illusions about her.

But she didn't want to offend Chu Yin again at this time, so she said it so ambiguously.

But it was obvious that the king at this moment didn't think like this, and after listening to her explanation, Chu Yin just regarded the brocade box incident as a way for her to admit her mistake in disguise.

Chu Yin thought that if her temperament had been like this, he wouldn't mind pampering her again.

"Lone knows!"

Chu Yin's voice was as inaudible as ever, but deep in his heart there were already ripples.

……

Since that night, Yuxiu Palace has changed a new group of subordinates. The entire palace courtyard also began to be greatly renovated, and porcelain and silk were sent into the palace in large quantities.

Although there has been no promotion in the position, this harem is not a shrewd lord, and everyone knows that the former emperor and queen are afraid that they will soar to the sky again.

When the subordinates were busy coming in and out one after another, Yin Fuxi was sitting on the newly moved Nanmu carved chair, looking at the scenery outside the window in a daze.

The dead plum tree was dug up by the roots and replaced by a flourishing red plum tree, which was cleared of weeds and placed in various potted plants.

At first glance, looking at the courtyard, Fu Xi had the illusion of returning to three years ago.

But this is not Fengqi Hall after all, and he is not the emperor and queen of the past.

……

"Master, do you see which color you like more in these two batches of cloth, Xiao Lian thinks this concubine color is more suitable for you, master?" Xiao Lian walked over with the second batch of cloth, and there was irrepressible joy on her little face.

"Casual" Fu Xi just glanced at it and spit out the word lightly

"Master!" Xiao Pian stomped his feet, quite hating iron and not steel.

The master has finally regained the favor of the emperor, shouldn't he dress up beautifully every day and wait for the arrival of the emperor? How did she think her master didn't care.

How could he not care, the master fell in love with the emperor when he was young, and in the past three years of being snubbed by the emperor, the master has become more and more silent, and he sees it in his eyes.

Thinking about it this way, Xiao Lian felt that she must have been too careful.
