Yun Xi Palace
"Mother, the child has come to greet the queen mother." Baili Chenxi walked quickly into the hall from outside the door. A look of pleasure on his face. The queen was chatting with several harem concubines at this time. Hear the sound at the door and quickly look up. When you see who is coming. happily immediately instructed the grandmother next to him to serve tea and prepare meals.
Chen'er got up quickly. Let the queen mother take a good look. Take a look, take a look. Qi'er didn't take good care of you. How can I lose so much weight than when I walked. ”
Several concubines on the throne saw that the eldest prince who had been out of the palace for many days returned to the palace. Thinking that the queen must have a lot to say to the eldest prince. They all got up and retired.
After the concubines left, the queen withdrew from the maids and servants around her. After waiting for only their mother and son to be left in the entire hall. Empress Zhao Yunxi pulled Baili Chenxi to the side and sat down. Push the meal that the palace maid had just brought to him.
"Chen'er, look at your dusty appearance. I must not have had time for lunch yet. Come, hurry up and eat a little. Look at this skinny one. Why didn't I see it for two months, but I lost so much weight. Wait for Qi'er to enter the palace, you must ask him, how to take care of you. ”
Baili Chenxi took the chopsticks handed over by Zhao Yunxi. I sandwiched a chopsticks of greens. He smiled at Zhao Yunxi
"Queen Mother, you have really been wronged this time. The time when the child left the capital. Thanks to his care and guidance along the way. in order to return to you safely. ”
"Safe?" A touch of complexity flashed on Zhao Yunxi's face. has been in the harem for many years, and some things only need a word and a look from the other party. She understood what it meant. What's more, it was her own son who said this. Zhao Yunxi looked at Baili Chenxi with a nervous expression. The delicate face is full of worry
"Chen'er, your father told the palace that he had sent a secret guard to follow. How can you still get hurt. Could it be that the guards didn't show up in time? Or did you encounter something unexpected. Chen'er, hurry up and show the queen mother. Your injuries are not strict. ”
Baili Chenxi put down his chopsticks. got up and walked to Zhao Yunxi. Put your hands on her shoulders. comforted
"Queen Mother, don't worry. The child has grown up. Children will protect themselves. Won't worry you anymore. But, Queen Mother, can you promise your child one thing? ”
"What's the matter?"
"About the marriage of the child. The candidate for the main concubine and the side concubine. The child is willing to follow the decision of the queen mother. It's just that the child went to Qingyang County to visit relatives this time and fell in love with a country girl in Xiaojia Village. The child wanted to take her as a concubine. What does the queen mother think? ”
"Peasant girl? Concubine? Zhao Yunxi's first reaction was whether the woman in Chen'er's mouth would be the peasant girl he married when he was in the folk before. Didn't you say that the woman was very stubborn? Why are you willing to be Chen'er's concubine again?
But. Since Chen'er is willing. A concubine. As long as Chen'er is willing. She would not object.
"Yes. That woman is a child's childhood sweetheart in the folk. The child had promised her before, and when the child became famous in the future, she would become famous. will marry her. Nowadays, the child is not a successful person. Respectable to that woman who has been waiting for the child for so many years. The child felt that she should be given a name. ”
"Now that Chen'er has made a decision. Then do what Chen'er wants. In the future, there is no need to make a special trip to ask the palace about Chen'er's concubine. This palace and your father only want Chen'er to be happy and happy. ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
Single Moon Temple
"How? Did the Queen Lady agree? ”
Bailichen Creek came in from outside the door. Zhao Qi heard a voice. Look up at the door. After seeing that the person who came was Bailichenxi, he put down the scroll in his hand. Stand up
Baili Chenxi was dressed in brocade clothes, paced to the bookcase and sat down. There was a solemn look on his face.
"Agreed."
Zhao Qi saw Baili Chenxi's solemn face, thinking that the queen mother had refused. Just when he was about to think of something else after looking surprised. Baili Chenxi spoke. The answer is the same as he had envisioned. It's just that the expression of the eldest prince made him slightly stunned
"What's wrong. Regretted it? Apart from this, he couldn't think of any other reason for the eldest prince's expression now.
Baili Chenxi glanced up at Zhao Qi. A bitter smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. Shake your head
"You're quite right. There's no room for regrets either, isn't there? "To be constrained by others is to learn to focus on the big picture. Everything he did was for her good. Even later. She was mistaken. He also doesn't regret today's decision.
Compared to the turbulence of the dark tide here. On the other side, it's much more relaxed and enjoyable. After leaving Qingyang County, Xia Chan and Murong Ye and his party stopped and stopped. Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the capital, Xia Chan's heart became more and more nervous. The mood is from the initial excitement to restlessness. Until now, I was nervous, hesitant.
Xia Cicada led a white horse to the front. Murong Ye was empty-handed, and slowly followed behind Xia Chan. The two of them went one after the other, and neither of them spoke first. Half a ring passed. The two are still one in front and one behind. It seems that no one wants to break this peace first.
After another half of the ring, Murong Ye finally couldn't help it, and opened his mouth first.
"Erya, it's not that I don't let you ride a horse alone. The point is that your current technique is really not suitable for one person to ride one horse alone. The horse looks beautiful and docile. But once it loses its temper. It's hard for me to control it. Not to mention you're a girl. ”
Xia Chan originally stood quietly with a face. After listening to Murong Ye's words. A flash of displeasure flashed across his face. Turning around, he shouted at Murong Ye, "Liar." You said so a few days ago. You still say that. You're a three-year-old. I'm always deceived by you. ”
Murong Ye smiled helplessly, "You are not a three-year-old child. Shrewd. It's all my fault. I shouldn't lie to you. You see, the weather is getting gloomy. Maybe it will rain in a while. Let's go back quickly. Otherwise, it won't be good to wait for the rain. ”
"It's okay if you let me go back. You'll have to agree that I'll ride alone tomorrow. ”
Murong Ye looked up at the increasingly gloomy weather. Doddled nodded
"Okay, deal. Now you can come here. ”
Xia Cicada's plan succeeded. A smile appeared on his face. Then it quickly faded away. Grabbed the horse rope in his hand. Pat the horse's back.
"Horse, let's go home."
Boom, boom. A few thunderclaps resounded throughout the sky. Caught off guard. Xia Cicada was so frightened that she let go of the horse rope and quickly squatted down to cover her ears.
Seeing this, Murong Ye immediately ran forward and took Xia Chan into his arms. Hands to her ears at the same time.
"It's okay. It's okay. Don't be afraid. ”
After half a ring, Xia Chan slowly poked his head out of Murong Ye's arms. whispered
"Just now I suddenly remembered some of the past. I was happy at first. But later, everything changed ......" (To be continued.) )
