After the emperor's election, the whole country was a sensation. In addition to the daughters of the family and the eunuchs who received the post-election flowers, there were also many commoner women who were selected as show girls and escorted into Beijing from all over the country. The Yun family also received the flower post, it was Yun Zheng's cousin, Yun Xiangrong, the granddaughter of her cousin Yun Chongling, and I heard that she had already set off from Cangdu. Maybe my cousin didn't recognize Mo Xiuqi's marriage before, maybe it was always the idea, right?

And the silence is peaceful, but he still has not received the message of entering the palace. I informed the lonely clouds, please pay more attention to the peace, I haven't heard anything special about the lonely family recently, I thought that peace was just the child's surname, and the insistence of that day was also casually spoken, but I didn't expect the child to be serious, only a few days later, someone from the lonely house came to invite me, saying that Ping An was seriously ill and wanted to see me.

I sighed and asked Ning'er to help me change my clothes and prepare to go to the Lonely Mansion to see peace. Xiaohong helped me out of the door, and in the yard I saw Jinsha and the other children laughing around the Stygian Flame, not knowing what they were doing. Walking forward, An Sheng saw me and ran over with a smile: "Sister Ye, Brother Stygian Flame just played a trick for us, it's fun." ”

Because An Sheng knew the Dark Flame in Cangdu, he had always been close to him. The children gathered around, and Stygian Flame was now like a few children's little heads, smiling smugly at me. I smiled and shook my head, this kid stinks all day. Stygian Flame saw me change my clothes: "Sister is going out?" ”

"I'll go to General Lone's Mansion." I touched An Sheng's head, and saw a small sachet hanging on his chest, which was given to the Stygian Flame by the red leaves a few days ago, and said with a smile: "This thing ......"

"Is it pretty?" An Sheng said beautifully, "I think it's so fragrant, Brother Stygian Flame gave it to me." ”

"Beautiful." I smiled. Stygian Flame's face flushed slightly, and he said uncomfortably: "It's useless for me to take it, I gave it to him when I saw that An Sheng liked it......"

"I understand." I laughed, explain what, is it possible that you really take that little sachet as a token of engagement? Seeing that I didn't blame him, Stygian Flame laughed, "Sister, I'll go out with you." ”

"No need, you play with the children, and take good care of Nuo'er for me." I explained it clearly, and then I was relieved to go out with Xiaohong. I haven't been here for two years, and although my vision is blurry, I can still see that there is no major change from the mansion I went to two years ago. Silent Shocking Cloud came out, saw me, and said with a wry smile: "Mrs. Yun, please trouble you to run this trip, Jingyun is really sorry." ”

"The general is too polite." I smiled, "What kind of disease does Ping An have?" ”

"That girl......" Silent Cloud frowned, "Alas......, she won't eat for a few days, I'll take Madame in first." ”

As Silent Cloud stepped into the safe boudoir, Silent Cloud motioned for everyone to go out and walk to the bed. Xiaohong helped me to the edge of the bed and sat down, I looked at Ping'an lying on the bed, but after a few days, this girl had lost so much weight, her little face was white and haggard, and her eyes stared blankly at the top of the bed. I sighed and gently held her hand: "Peace ......"

Her hand moved slightly, and her eyes gradually turned to my face, and after a while, she said with difficulty: "Sister Ye......"

"Peace, what the hell do you want?" Silent Surprise Cloud was angry and anxious on the side, "Except for entering the palace, the other second uncles have promised you." ”

Ping An turned his face, his eyes looked at the top of the bed blankly, I turned my head to look at Silent Shock, and said softly: "General, let me talk to Ping An alone, is it okay?" ”

Silent Cloud looked at me helplessly, and I could feel his anxious and pleading gaze, and smiled firmly at him. He sighed heavily, turned and walked out of the room. I turned my face to look at Ping An and said softly, "Ping An, what do you want?" ”

She was silent for a long time before she spoke in a hoarse voice: "You know, sister. ”

"Peace, don't have a surname." I held her hand and sighed lightly, "Do you think that when you enter the palace, you will definitely be able to accompany the emperor?" Are you willing to spend the rest of your life in a prison with a golden wall and lose your freedom? Are you willing to share a man with a group of women, and every time you think that he will come to your house to see you, but you don't see him coming, and you can't complain when you look at him and other women? Are you willing to wear a mask for the rest of your life and not be able to reveal your true surname? Ping'an, you still have to deal with the complicated personnel of the harem, are you willing to live that kind of life full of calculations, without a friend, lonely and unbearable? Are you willing to bury your innocence, passion, and youth in the intrigue of the palace and become a walking corpse? ”

"I do." Ping'an's gaze turned to my face and said firmly, "Sister, I do." ”

"Ping'an ......" I smiled and shook my head, "You can't do it, just hear that the emperor went to Baihualou, you are so impulsive and reckless, do you know that if this kind of thing happens once in the harem, you may be doomed." ”

She was silent, I took her hand and said softly: "Ping, there are not so many perfect things in life, if you love someone, he may not necessarily love you; or someone loves you, but you may not love him. Or the two of you love each other, but you can't end up together for various reasons; And the person who is with you in the end, maybe you don't love him, and he doesn't love you. You have been protected too well by General Lonely since you were a child, everyone in your family loves you and spoils you, but those are not taken for granted, life is not as simple as one plus one equals two, and there are many ways to love someone. It doesn't have to be by his side, it's the perfect way. There are some people you can love, you can protect, and you can do a lot of stupid things for them, but you don't have to stay with them. Do you understand? ”

"I don't understand, I just want to enter the palace...... tears slipped from the corners of Ping'an's eyes, "I just know, I can't see him, my heart is very bitter, I want to be closer to him, I want to accompany him......"

"Ping'an, you are only thinking about yourself, but you have not considered it from his standpoint." I sighed softly, my patience running out, "You just want to love him, so how does he feel about you, do you know?" ”

Peace, I continued, "Have you shown your heart to him?" Has he ever confessed his interest in you? If not, even if you get the flower slip and enter the palace, the emperor doesn't order you to stay, you can only be sent home, have you ever thought about it? ”

Her eyes widened and she turned her face to look at me fixedly, a hint of confusion in her eyes. I sighed, peace and peace, how can you be reassured like this. She said in a daze: "What does my sister mean, I should show my heart to the emperor first, right?" ”

I took a deep breath, and a heavy sense of powerlessness welled up in my heart: "I mean, whether you can enter the palace or not, the decision is up to the emperor, not what you want to do, or what General Lin wants to stop, or I can help you ask for a flower post." ”

Ping'an's eyes lit up slightly, and I frowned, did this girl understand me? Just as he was about to speak, Silent Surprise Cloud pushed the door in, glanced at Ping'an, and pursed his lips: "Ping'an, Yu Gongzi is here." ”

I was slightly startled and quickly stood up, I haven't seen the emperor since I was confined to my home last year, and I didn't expect to meet him in the General's Mansion today. Ping'an's face was happy, and before he could say anything, the emperor had already stepped into the room. Xiaohong had never seen the emperor, and listening to the tone of the silent clouds, it was not easy to reveal his identity, so she had to owe it: "Young Master Yu is polite." ”

"Uncle Yu......" Ping An looked at him in a daze, tears already flowing. The emperor looked at me, but I couldn't see his expression clearly, so I only heard him say, "No need to be formal, sit down." Then he turned to Ping An and said with a smile, "Ping girl, I heard that you are sick and still refuse to eat?" ”

Ping An looked at him stupidly, tears streaming down his face. The emperor took out a silk handkerchief to wipe the tears on her face, and said with a smile: "What a little girl, she still cries when she is sick......

"I'm not a little girl." Ping'an grabbed the emperor's hand to wipe her tears, and her eyes were hot, "Uncle Yu, I have something to tell you." ”

I was slightly shocked, Ping'an didn't want to show his heart to the emperor, right? Silent Shocking Cloud was also stunned, and just as he was about to speak, the emperor had already spoken: "What words, say it." ”

"Second uncle, Sister Ye, will you go out first?" Ping'an's eyes looked at the emperor fixedly, not leaving for a moment, but his mouth was facing me and Lonely Yundao, "I want to talk to Uncle Yu alone." ”

"Peace ......," I frowned. The Emperor turned his face to look at me and said, "Go out." ”

I glanced at Silent Shock, and saw that he was also full of worry, sighed in my heart, stood up, Xiaohong helped me out, and Silent Horror Cloud stepped out and closed the door. "Mrs. Yun, Ping An was okay just now...... "Silent Cloud frowned. I smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry, I don't seem to be able to convince her, I'm too firm......"

"Nonsense." Silent Cloud roared in a low voice, a pair of thick eyebrows twisted into an earthworm shape.

"Will Ping An say anything stupid?" I looked worriedly at the closed door, and if Ping'an really wanted to confide in the emperor, the matter would not end well. With the friendship between the emperor and Lonely Shocking Cloud, if Lonely Shocking Cloud refuses to let Ping'an enter the palace, the emperor will definitely refuse Ping'an, how can Ping'an stand it.

"Jingyun will stay here, Mrs. Yun, please go to the side compartment to rest for a while, don't worry too much." Silent Horror Cloud came back to his senses, but calmed down, it seemed that he was sure of the emperor's thoughts. I shook my head and said softly, "I'm here too, I'm not too sure." ”

While talking, there were a few "Zhengzheng" silk and bamboo sounds in the safe room, I and Silent Shocking Cloud were stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but approach the door, only to hear the faint sound of tactful instrumental music inside, after a while, the sound became louder, I was stunned, it was the sound of a guitar. Ping An playing the piano in the house? Listening carefully, the music is not in a hurry, smooth and clear, it seems that Ping An has not stopped practicing this year. The music suddenly turned, and a familiar prelude was played, and my body shook slightly. Does Ping An want to sing this song to the emperor? She had practiced this song for a long time, and she was going to sing it on the emperor's birthday last year but did not sing it, and she played it to him at this time, and it seemed that Ping An had made up her mind and confessed to him. Distracted, he heard the song of peace coming from the house:

What do you still have doubts,

How else are you going to escape?

Do you only know how to protect yourself,

I can't get a little more courage.

Love is so mysterious,

I always see traces of it.

So I don't know how to protect myself.

It's so easy to give up.

Look into my eyes and know,

There is nowhere to run from feelings.

Listen to the heartbeat that can't be calmed,

Please don't say you can't hear it.

You really can't hear it.

Ping'an sang very well, she has practiced this song for more than a year, and her fingering is extremely skillful, and the lyrics fit her state of mind at this time, and she poured all her feelings into it, so this song, she can be said to sing it softly and perfectly.

Even the silent clouds were stunned, and a complicated expression appeared on their faces. Ping An sang this song over and over again in the house, and I don't know how many times. Ping'an, in fact, was originally a smart woman, she actually knew her surname. So she chose to use singing to express her heart, rather than expressing it directly in words, even if she was rejected, it would not make the scene too embarrassing.

That afternoon, Ping'an played the song "Please Look into My Eyes" over and over again, singing over and over again, and she used her singing voice to express her love, admiration and bitterness for the emperor. I can even imagine her playing the guitar and singing gentle and mournful songs, looking at the emperor with those affectionate eyes. The kind of love for someone with all your heart and soul pouring out your heart should be able to move anyone, right? It was a long, long time before the singing and the sound of the harp ceased, and after what seemed to be a long time, the door opened. The emperor came out of the house, with no expression on his face, and when he saw the silence, he said lightly: "Fall asleep peacefully." Then he walked forward, and as he walked, he said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Ronghua, you come with me." ”

I looked at his back as he walked forward in a daze, and when I turned my head to see that I was also a little distracted, I bit my lip and asked Xiaohong to help me follow.
