Chapter Eighty-Five: A Narrow Road Encounter
() The emperor hugged the cuttlefish, and without Fang Cai's flamboyant tongue, he suddenly stopped talking.
The cuttlefish said strangely, "Aren't you going to talk for a while, why don't you squeak again?" In the blink of an eye, is the emperor asleep? ”
Of course, the emperor didn't sleep, his eyes were wide open, and he was like a cuttlefish, holding back his stomach and wanting to speak, but he didn't know how to speak.
The candles and lights have been extinguished, the room is dark and rumbling, and the emperor's expression is also hidden in darkness, making his feelings not easy to detect, for a long time, only one sentence: "During these days, I didn't see you for a reason, not that I didn't want to see you, nor did I really believe the rumors spread in the palace, but ......"
But because he is the Son of Heaven and the emperor, his every move will be seen by the courtiers and the people, he can't violate the ancestral system, he can't not pay attention to the rules, and he can't be burdened by gossip. Power means responsibility, and sometimes, the emperor will be helpless.
"Your Majesty, the concubine understands in her heart, you don't need to say it anymore." The cuttlefish said softly, how could she not understand the emperor's hardships, rather than let the emperor embarrass for her, then she would rather suffer more grievances.
The emperor sighed invisibly, and then asked in a low voice, "Then you don't blame me?" ”
The cuttlefish shook its head, but did not speak again.
The atmosphere suddenly became stuffy, and both of them were speechless, and they knew each other's thoughts and thoughts well. The two pairs of eyes widened in the night, and neither could sleep, but neither spoke.
The emperor is not good at saying something like wanting you to love you, if he wants to express his like, he will only tease or joke with his poisonous tongue, and the cuttlefish does not want to show his heart too bluntly, he always feels that it is too hypocritical.
But you can't just let the embarrassment creep in.
It was the cuttlefish that opened its mouth first.
She got up suddenly, shook the bed and lifted the thin quilt on her body, "I can't sleep at all." ”
The cuttlefish reacted so much at once, which also surprised the emperor, he thought that the cuttlefish was going back to Xianfu Palace. Quickly grabbed her and asked nervously, "What's the matter, where are you going?" ”
It's dark. Neither of them could see the other. This only made the emperor even more nervous.
The cuttlefish broke free of the emperor's hand, went down to the ground and put on his shoes haphazardly, then raised his hand to pull the curtains on both sides to the side, and then slowly rolled them up, and said. "It's summer, why do you still use such a thick curtain to make people panic, and the concubines are almost out of breath, can't you change to a thinner curtain?" This big night is covered so tightly, and I am not afraid of covering prickly heat. ”
"You got up for this curtain?" The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and then said in a good voice, "Come up quickly, if you don't like this veil, I will ask Su Peisheng to throw it away tomorrow." Change to a good-looking and breathable one, or change the one you use in Xianfu Palace, just like it. ”
As long as the cuttlefish is happy, in such a trivial matter, the emperor is naturally willing to obey it.
The cuttlefish got into the quilt and snorted: "Don't learn from the concubines, and don't use the same bed curtains as the concubines, it's much better-looking, and the emperor will find it himself." ”
Emperor: "......"
……
When he woke up, the cuttlefish subconsciously touched his side. The emperor has already gone to the early dynasty.
"Su Guiren, the slave maid is here to serve you and freshen up." There were two palace maids standing next to the bed, one holding a copper basin towel and the other holding a cup for gargling. Waiting to be told.
The cuttlefish wanted to lie down a little longer, but when she saw that someone had already come, she couldn't rely on it any longer, and when she saw that breakfast was set on the table, she hurried to wash up.
The two palace maids stepped back and said, "Su Guiren." The emperor said that he wants to discuss some important matters with the ministers today, and you can have breakfast first, and you don't have to wait for the emperor to come back. ”
The cuttlefish nodded, looked at the various foods in front of him, and snickered in his heart: I didn't want to wait for the emperor to come back and eat together, who can put the delicious dry and watch without moving the chopsticks.
After eating and drinking, the cuttlefish waited for a while, and seeing that the emperor had not returned, she walked out of the Heart Cultivation Hall to Xianfu Palace.
After walking a few steps, there was a tall and thin figure in front of her, the cuttlefish took a closer look, it turned out to be Lan Guiren, Lan Guiren had just had a miscarriage, how could he come out to suffer from the wind, the cuttlefish looked at her physically and mentally exhausted, and did not want to have any more conflicts with her, so he lowered his head and walked against the wall, wanting to avoid the Guerjia clan.
Lan Guiren was wearing a slightly thick coat, her face was pale and bloodless, and in just a few days, she had already lost a lot of weight, and her sleeves looked very empty.
She stood firm and looked at the cuttlefish, with a cold look on her face, "This dragon species is gone, and everyone really wants to step on my head, Su Chang is here, my position is one level higher than yours, did you even forget to ask for peace when you saw me?" Could it be that you want to despise me when you see me falling? Hum. ”
The cuttlefish was stunned and rolled her eyes helplessly, she didn't want to provoke Lan Guiren, who had experienced the pain of losing her child, but she couldn't stand Lan Guiren and had nothing to do, the cuttlefish looked at Lan Guiren and didn't speak.
At this time, Yuan Ling reminded in a low voice, "Master, she is no longer Su Changzai, she is Su Guiren, the slave maid saw that you have been sullen, so she didn't tell you about it, the emperor not only promoted her, but also clarified the previous case for her, and even Gu Changzai was brought to the Zongren Mansion by her." Let's not mess with her, she was still sleeping in the Heart Cultivation Hall last night, and she is probably going to be favored again. ”
If they are also nobles, the cuttlefish naturally does not need to salute the Lan nobles.
Hearing this, Lan Guiren's face became even more ugly, since she had a miscarriage, the emperor had only come to visit her once, and everyone was looking at her jokes, so today, she really couldn't stand the emperor's indifference and the gossip of others, and wanted to come to the palace to see the emperor in person. At the very least, you can get some pity from the emperor and block the mouths of some idlers.
However, she only learned now that when she was in great pain when she lost her dragon seed, the emperor had a lot of time to accompany the cuttlefish, and he also easily named her Su Guiren, giving her infinite grace and glory. And she, the person who needs comfort and compensation the most, has to suffer from neglect and watch others happy.
Lan Gui was a little trembling with anger, her eyes were red, with a little hatred, she was unwilling, first the dormitory was taken away, and now she came to rob the emperor's favor and attention, after that, is she going to give away everything!
At this moment, Lan Guiren counted all the resentment and pain accumulated in the past few days on the cuttlefish's head, and she felt that it was because of the cuttlefish that she had become where she is now.
"Lan Guiren, if it's okay, I'll go first." The cuttlefish saw that her expression was different, and was about to dodge.
Lan Guiren pulled the corners of his mouth and sneered, "Stop! (To be continued.) )
