The people in the palace are busy because the New Year is approaching, only Chu Xiangwan is here, just like in the past. Every day I get up, I read a book, play chess, and make children's clothes, and the day goes by. These days, the most people who come to Guanju Palace are Li Jieyu, she often comes to be with Chu Xiangwan, plays the piano and paints with her, and the relationship between the two is getting better and better, Chu Xiangwan knows that she is infatuated with Huangfu Jingwen, so she often asks Huangfu Jingwen to stay in Li Jieyu's palace. Gradually, Huangfu Jingwen also took more care of Li Jieyu, of course, this is just love for the house and Wu.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, there was goose feather snow, this was the last snow of the old year, Chu Xiangwan looked at the falling snowflakes outside the window, and thought of the plum blossoms in the imperial garden, and wanted to go out to have a look.

When Qian'er saw Chu Xiangwan like this, she knew what her young lady was thinking. "Miss, you are still pregnant with a child, and it is not suitable to go out. Wait for this time next year, the slave maid will accompany you out to enjoy the plum blossoms, okay? ”

"Little girl, you know my mind. Do you remember what you said today, you can't be cold this time next year? Chu Xiangwan and Qian'er joked.

"Miss, it's so good, you've changed back to the happy and carefree young lady you used to be." Qian'er suddenly sighed.

"Life has to go on, and since I decided to have this child, I won't keep feeling sorry for myself." Chu Xiangwan turned back to look at the snowflakes outside the window.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the family banquet was still singing and dancing, but everyone could see that the atmosphere between Huangfu Jingyao and the emperor was very delicate, but everyone was pretending to be calm. As soon as Huangfu Jingyao entered the Taihe Palace, he glanced at everyone, and there was no figure of Chu Xiangwan, he shook his head with a wry smile, knowing that Chu Xiangwan was avoiding him. He asked in his heart: "Later, don't you really want to see me?" But I'm already lovesick.

Chu Xiangwan had a hearty dinner with Qian'er in his palace, and the master and servant talked about how they used to make Chinese New Year's Eve in Chu Mansion. Tonight, Chu Xiangwan didn't want to think about anyone, just wanted to have a peaceful and peaceful Chinese New Year's Eve.

The tenth day of the first month.

"Niangniang, Concubine Sun sent someone to pass the word, saying that she invited you to go to Changyang Palace in the afternoon to sit." A little palace maid came in to report.

"You go down," Qian'er waved her hand and said to Chu Xiangwan, "This Concubine Sun always behaves so strangely, what can you please do in the past for this Chinese New Year?" ”

"It's okay, the weather is very good today, and I'm so bored after being in the palace for so many days, it's better to go out for a walk." Chu Xiangwan didn't hate Sun Liuyun from the bottom of his heart, and knew that under her cold appearance was a child's heart. She already knew that Huangfu Jingyao loved Chu Xiangwan, so she would always help Huangfu Jingyao take care of Chu Xiangwan in the palace. What is admirable about this woman is her loyalty and integrity.

In the afternoon, Chu Xiangwan sat in a small sedan chair, took Qian'er, and went to Changyang Palace. Changyang Palace is located in the middle of nowhere, and the workers carrying the sedan chair walked for two quarters of an hour to arrive. When he arrived at Changyang Palace, Chu Xiangwan stepped into the palace gate and was attracted by the little white plums in the courtyard. Changyang Palace, I thought it was mostly green pines and other trees, but I didn't expect that many plum blossoms were planted, and they bloomed densely and luxuriantly in this corner of the remote palace wall. For a while, Chu Xiangwan looked at these white plums and was intoxicated.

"There are a few plums in the corner, and Ling Han opens it alone. I know that it is not snow, but there is a dark fragrance. After all these years, you still like plum blossoms so much. People are like flowers, and flowers are like people. This king is fortunate to see such a stunning scene. ”

Chu Xiangwan was stunned, this familiar voice, this relaxed and teasing tone, seemed to have returned to the time at the bottom of Shangyang Mountain. Chu Xiangwan grabbed Qian'er's hand tightly, she didn't expect that Huangfu Jingyao would come to see her in the name of Sun Liuyun, she didn't know if she should turn around, here and now, they shouldn't actually meet.

"Miss, your palms are sweaty," Qian'er felt the temperature from Chu Xiangwan's palm, and she patted Chu Xiangwan's hand, "It's good to see you, you and King Rui have a good talk." Qian'er pulled Chu Xiangwan and turned around.

"Lord Wang." The moment Chu Xiangwan turned around, he only said these two words. A thousand words, I don't know where to start. It's been a long time since I've seen you, and it's been almost half a year. Although there is no desire to cry first, but every day I don't see you, I really can't carry it, and I am a lot of sorrow.

"You've lost a lot of weight." Huangfu Jingyao looked at Chu Xiangwan's face with burning eyes, and his eyes moved to Chu Xiangwan's stomach again.

Chu Xiangwan felt embarrassed, and stroked her stomach with her hand, she didn't expect to see each other like this, she didn't know what to say for a while, and the two of them looked at each other stupidly.

"Let's talk about it when we come into the house, it's windy outside, and you're not in good shape, so it's not appropriate to stand in the tuyere for a long time." Huangfu Jingyao looked at Chu Xiangwan's pale face, and couldn't bear to see that she had been standing outside. He stretched out his hand to Chu Xiangwan, Chu Xiangwan hesitated, didn't catch it, and walked into the inner hall by himself. Huangfu Jingyao sighed and followed her into the house.

Entering the hall, Chu Xiangwan didn't see anyone, she looked at Huangfu Jingyao suspiciously.

"You don't come to me, I'm the only one who comes to you. Today's matter is I asked Liuyun for help, there are only two of us here, no one will bother, I just want to take a good look at you. "Huangfu Jingyao didn't see Chu Xiangwan at the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet, so he knew that she intended to avoid him, but he couldn't help but come to see her because he was too worried.

"If you don't see each other, it's come to this, so what?" Chu Xiangwan felt full of sadness, she would rather Huangfu Jingyao still remember the pure and immaculate Chu Xiangwan.

"I hurt you, if it weren't for me, the person in Cihe Palace wouldn't want to kill you."

"You know everything?"

"Yes, I just hate myself for knowing too late and almost losing you forever. If you really die in the Cihe Palace that day, I must have no place for that old demon woman to die. "Huangfu Jingyao is a person who does what he says, if Chu Xiangwan really has an accident, he will let the entire Forbidden City give her a funeral. Hurt the whole world with one person, and when it comes to the time to decide, he will not be soft.

"Brother Yao, I don't deserve your liking anymore, and don't do everything for me. I can't repay any of this. Chu Xiangwan felt that such a deep affection should not exist in the royal family at all, and she and Huangfu Jingyao still had such a relationship.

"Is it worth it, in me. As I said, although some things are started by you, they have to be ended by me, and this love, no matter how hard it is, I will not let go. Every word that Huangfu Jingyao said was a promise to Chu Xiangwan.

"What is there about Chu Xiangwan that you love? What's worth it that you can't put down? How many women admire the demeanor of King Rui and want to become King Rui's confidante, why should they miss a woman like me? Chu Xiangwan's emotions suddenly became excited, and tears couldn't stop falling. Now is different from the past, she already has other men's children, but Huangfu Jingyao's eyes are the same as before, this affection makes her feel ashamed, and also makes her feel breathless. Pregnant people are prone to emotional ups and downs, but they didn't expect her first outbreak since she was pregnant in front of Huangfu Jingyao.

"Xiang Wan, don't be so excited, you will hurt the child like this." Huangfu Jingyao rushed forward and hugged Chu Xiangwan, patted her on the shoulder, and let her cry in his arms.

Chu Xiang was in Huangfu Jingyao's arms, gradually stabilized her mood, she pushed Huangfu Jingyao away, and said: "In the future, don't come to the palace to look for me again, the emperor has already killed you, you have to avoid the edge for the time being." ”

"Huangfu Jingwen wants to trap me, it's not that easy, I already plan to go back to the border to deal with military affairs, you have to protect yourself in the palace."

"What? You're leaving! Hearing the news that Huangfu Jingyao was leaving, Chu Xiangwan was very surprised. Although I have always hoped that Huangfu Jingyao can return to the border pass, the news that came suddenly is not sure whether it is reassuring or sad.

"Yes, the excerpt has been handed over, I have been in the capital, it will only be a threat to you, and I will come back as soon as things at the border are sorted out. It may be a little long, you wait for me. ”

Huangfu Jingyao's so-called "you wait for me" Chu Xiangwan didn't understand what it meant, Huangfu Jingyao's plan was already in the layout, and it was necessary to return to the border pass, after all, most of his troops were at the border pass, and only by returning there could he really decide the development of things. Once he returns, I'm afraid that the good days of Huangfu Jingwen and the Cihe Palace will also come to an end.

"Brother Yao, I will remember this love, but I still say the same thing, find a woman who likes you and let her take good care of you for me." Seeing that Huangfu Jingyao was about to refute, Chu Xiangwan suddenly held Huangfu Jingyao's hand and said, "I know you don't want to listen to me say such things, but you have to understand my heart, if you have been alone, I will not be at ease." ”

"Do you really want to see me holding other women and smiling Yan Yan?" Huangfu Jingyao didn't let go and asked.

"I don't want to, but I can't be so selfish." Chu Xiangwan couldn't say it, who would want to look at the man he loves and other women, "If you keep doing this, it will only aggravate the emperor's murderous intentions." ”

"It's not a day or two that he wants to kill me, now that I already know my heart for you, I don't need to find another person to hide it, you just have to keep your feelings for me clear, I don't want your life in the palace to be too bitter."

"Speaking of which, I'm really unbearable, using my innocence to exchange for the emperor's trust, and turning a blind eye to the people I love."

"It's my fault that I can't protect you."

"Alright, let's stop talking. It's just a trick of fate, not anyone's fault. Chu Xiangwan felt that fate made people, and he couldn't blame someone for the fault.

"Fate plays tricks on you once, but I won't let it play tricks on you a second time, believe me, one day, I will have you in the open." Huangfu Jingyao swore an oath.

"I don't want to think about the future, if you go to the border, I will pray for you, and you must also remember that you will always be concerned about your safety in the palace, so protect yourself."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Huangfu Jingyao stroked Chu Xiangwan's cheek.

"It's not too early, it's inconvenient for me to stay here for a long time, it's time to go back, you, take care." Even if you don't want to separate, you still have to leave, and you don't know when the next goodbye will be, a thousand words, it doesn't matter if you say it or not. Isn't the relationship between them exactly the most important thing to know?

Huangfu Jingyao was silent for a moment, took out a silver bracelet and put it on Chu Xiangwan's hand, he said: "This bracelet is specially prepared for you by me, although it is not precious, but it is my heart." The bracelet is engraved with a thousand blessing words, and I hope you and your children will be safe. ”

"Thank you, Brother Yao, Chu Xiangwan can't do anything for you, he can only chant and pray for you in the palace a hundred times a day. The sword has no eyes in the killing field, you must be careful. ”
