Every word was well thought out, but as the tears fell, Xia Ruoqing recalled her forbearance and helplessness after entering the palace, and the daily intrigue in order to consolidate her position in the palace made it difficult to sleep at night, but her heart was really sour, and tears rolled down.

Helan Fu quietly watched Xia Ruoqing crying with pear blossoms and rain, her eyebrows furrowed more and more, and she never said a word.

This will make Xia Ruoqing's mind full of the past, and the fears and worries in the palace these days have finally found a channel to vent, and she can't stop crying with tears, and she can't take care of her original intention. After a long time, she suddenly felt a darkness in front of her eyes, and a strong aroma of orchids came to her nose, and she took a silk close to her face with one hand to wipe it, and said in a cold voice: "Qingqing, you didn't cry when you were a child." ”

Letting the scented silk handkerchief wipe on her face, Xia Ruoqing sobbed and replied, "I...... I wasn't always a kid. ”

"In the past, you were naughty and tight, your father said that women should be dignified and virtuous and elegant, and you were not convinced and wanted to climb a tree, but you fell from the big banyan tree in the yard and broke your arm on the spot. I was stunned, you were in terrible pain, tears rolling in your eyes, but nothing fell. The cold fingers gently stroked the red and swollen eyelids because of the crying, Helan Fu's eyes were hazy, and his eyes were full of memories of the past: "Later, I asked you why you still had to endure and not cry when you were in pain like that, you said that if you cried, I would definitely feel uncomfortable and blame myself and cry harder, you don't want me to cry." ”

"My father's identity is very embarrassing in Nantang, the national strength of Beiyan is weak, and my father is a concubine who is not taken seriously, so anyone can laugh at the Helan family at will. At that time, Uncle Xia's official position was not so high, and you were also fooling around on the street, who dared to speak disrespectfully to me, you were going to have a seizure on the spot, and after the fight, you had to find a way to stumble and teach the other party a little ugly and take a lesson, there were a few times when it was so long that even I almost forgot about it, but you thought about it for more than half a year, and finally twisted the hair of the fourth child of the You family, so that he didn't dare to go out for two months. ”

"I said that you are too vindictive, and you said that as long as you dare to say half a word about me, you can't let go of any of them. At that time, you were only so tall-" Helan Fu compared his legs with his hand, and said: "Half a head shorter than me, with a fleshy face, you have to tell me every day that no one can bully me, and you will stand up to you when the sky falls." ”

Hearing Helan Fu mention the past, Xia Ruoqing's low sobbing gradually stopped, and when she arrived here, she couldn't help but laugh with tears: "At that time, I also said that if I were a boy, I would go to your house to propose marriage, and marry you to my Xia family as my daughter-in-law as soon as possible." ”

"yes." The corners of Helan Fu's lips also flashed with a smile: "You look delicate, but your temperament is like a boy." disdainful of female red, secretly pestering my brother all day long to learn swordsmanship and war, and my brother has been scolded for you. When you were selected to enter the palace, I was still worried about what to do with a character like you in the palace, but I didn't expect that after four years of not seeing, how can you still have half a shadow of the original. ”

"I'd rather be a man." The corners of Xia Ruoqing's lips were full of bitterness: "If it were a man, I would be able to fight on the battlefield and make a name for myself in the military, why bend down in the harem." The rivers and mountains gallop for 300 miles, dare to love and hate, if today is divided and divided, the military attache is in power, and His Majesty is courteous, how can he be reduced to the point where he is now at a loss to sit in the city of sorrow. Trapped in this big four-cornered world every day, my heart and mind are all about how to compete for His Majesty's favor and consolidate my position, I often look in the mirror, and I already feel that I don't know myself. ”

A slightly cold hand gently brushed the bright long hair, and Helan Fu's eyes hesitated for a moment, replaced by incomparable resoluteness: "Qingqing, you go - arrange for me to enter the palace." ”

With a cold and indifferent word, Xia Ruoqing looked up in surprise and saw the indifferent expression on Helan Fu's face, as if what he said just now was as ordinary as eating and going to bed.

"What did you say?"

"In the past, you said that you would be on top of the sky when it fell, but now that I am taller than you, this day, it will be up to me to carry it for you. You have no one in the palace to take care of you, and I can't go into the palace often. After I enter the palace, no matter what, at least one more person will discuss. ”

Xia Ruoqing was dumbfounded, completely speechless for a while. Although this was her original intention to find Helan Fu to catch up, when the two met and recalled the past, Xia Ruoqing already regretted it. She never expected that Helan Fu was cold and arrogant, and because she was the daughter of a proton, she was extremely hostile and resistant to Emperor Nanzhao, so she would directly take the initiative to ask to enter the palace.

The goal is close at hand, but Xia Ruoqing doesn't feel half of the joy she deserves.

The gains and losses have been weighed countless times in the previous days and nights, and it is still two to say whether Helan Fu can rescue the Xia family from danger when he enters the palace, but if Helan Fu does not enter the palace, the Xia family will die properly.

The Xia family and Helan Fu, she must have to live up to one side, and who the victim is has already been decided when she sent the post to Helan's family. The foreshadowing of the previous sentences and every tear at the beginning are only for one purpose.

But why, she still hesitated, or felt guilty, and even when she heard Helan Fu want to enter the palace, she instinctively wanted to spit out a refusal?

"Helan ...... How could my uncle and brother let you into the palace......"

"I'll take care of my father's brother's side, you don't have to worry about it."

The palm holding the hem of the skirt became tighter and tighter, and finally let go after a while, Xia Ruoqing lowered her head and whispered: "Sister Helan, are you serious?" ”

"When did I miss what I said to you? I'll go first, whatever happens, I'll wait until I'm in the palace. ”

“…… Good. ”

The bead curtain swayed, the skirt disappeared on the other side of the threshold, Xia Ruoqing stared at the enamel colorful curtain that kept shaking, as if she could vaguely see the tall and straight back.

The colorful enamel beads fainted a little hazy halo in the eyes, and gradually the beads joined together, and the cheeks were warm, and a drop of water slowly rolled along the cheeks.

"Helan, I'm sorry. I can't give you what you want, I owe you ...... In the next life, Xia Ruoqing will give everything she has to return to you. ”

Picking up the towel left by Helan Fu, Xia Ruoqing wiped the new droplets of water in her eyes, straightened out her feelings, and then shouted to the outside: "Save your face." ”

"Your concubine." Rong Rong came in and bowed his head to listen to the order.

"Is Sister Helan gone?"

"Let's go, I asked Xian'er to send Miss Helan to the palace gate, and now I must have passed the Magnolia Fang."

"Change my clothes and makeup, let's go to the longevity hermitage."

"Yes." Rong Rong responded but didn't move, hesitated for a moment and then muttered: "Your concubine...... Are you really going? Your Majesty has never liked Master Zhang's words, but now that my lord is like this, I'm afraid that you will fall into the hands of others if you go......"

"You've said it's like this now, what's there to be afraid of." The corners of Xia Ruoqing's lips lifted a sneer: "No power, no power, no support, even if you can pick out a bone in an egg, not only the Xia family, but I will not end well." In this case, it is better to take care of myself, take what I need, put it to death and live again, and maybe I can win back the hope of a city. ”

“…… Yes, the fragrant soup slave maid has just prepared, your concubine, please. ”

"Hmm."

In the morning, the heavy rain that ran through the whole night did not stop at all, knocking on the eaves crackling, and the dark sky was more like a heavy piece of lead pressing on people's hearts, which made people not have half a joyful vitality.

Xia Ruoqing had already woken up, and it was raining heavily today, so she didn't have to go to ask Concubine Xin for peace, and there was nothing to do, so she lazily nested in the quilt and didn't think about it. Squinting and leaning on the pillow, Xia Ruoqing's mind was full of the conversation with Zhang Xichun in Changshou Nunnery yesterday.

Helan Sheng is a proton sent to Nantang by Beiyan, and the Xia family is close to the Helan family, so he knows more about Beiyan's domestic affairs than others. Beiyan believes in Suo Po Religion, Suo Po Religion originates from Buddhism but is very different from Buddhism, different from Buddhism that focuses on karma and karma, Su Po Religion pursues eternal life, and the Northern Yan royal family is even more fanatical in the pursuit of immortality, obsessed with all kinds of magic pills, and now the Northern Yan Emperor Helan Fei is even more disregarding the country's imposition of taxes and burdens, labor, and money, and wantonly builds royal mausoleums, lingering in the Danfang all day long, and is wasted in political affairs, leading to the weakening of the national strength and the people are not able to make a living, and the uprisings and wars are continuous.

The people of Northern Yan are divided into three classes, the lower class is the common people, the middle is the imperial court officials, and the upper class is the Northern Yan royal family and the magicians who are proficient in magic and alchemy.

Zhang Xichun's original name was Aru Winchas, who was originally a sorcerer of the Northern Yan Kingdom, and was cast under the three princes Helan Zhenmen, and later Helan Zhen forced the palace to fail but was ambushed, and Zhang Xichun could only escape from Beiyan and changed his name to Nantang after he was exiled. She relied on her original identity as a sorcerer in Beiyan and wanted to enter the Nantang Palace, but she didn't expect that Emperor Nanzhao was completely different from the Northern Yan royal family. Emperor Nanzhao knew the root of the weakness of the Northern Yan, so he hated the Suo Po Sect and related magic pills, although he did not drive people out of the palace, he did not care about the pills offered by Zhang Xichun, but he set up a longevity nunnery in the palace and gave Zhang Xichun the title of the owner of the nunnery, but the longevity nunnery was extremely deserted, except for a sprinkling child, there was no one else.

Zhang Xichun had a closed door at Emperor Nanzhao, and now at least he can not worry about food and clothing, although he no longer has his former status, he can live a peaceful life in peace, so he is also smart to keep a low profile and rarely interact with other people in the palace. Over time, the people in the palace have long forgotten the existence of this person's place, if Xia Ruoqing hadn't accidentally known about such a place, he wouldn't have thought of such a person.
