"I'm ......," he replied softly.

The voice, with a little hoarseness.

The expression, but the firmness.

But, out of her sight, under the cover of his sleeve, his fist slowly clenched.

His forbearance was all exposed under his clenched fist.

Shen Yunxi bowed his head, swallowed the sourness and bitterness in his mouth, and when he looked up again, his beautiful face was already covered with a beautiful smile, "Xiao Yihan, can you stay away from me in the future?" ”

In her low voice, there was a faint cry, which sounded sad.

Shen Yunxi was stunned, she had tried her best to hide her emotions, but she didn't expect to be startled by her voice.

The hand hanging in front of her tightened, and in an instant, she felt that the oppressive atmosphere was circulating and hovering between the two.

However, the corners of Xiao Yihan's lips were still slightly hooked upward, as if he was not affected by her words. Then he chuckled and nodded, "Okay." ”

She sniffed, "After that, can you not smile at me?" ”

"Okay." He still responded obediently, without the slightest hesitation.

The smile disappeared from the corner of his lips as he bowed his head, but just one word, it was so easy for people to read the taste of spoiling.

"Can you ......?"

"As long as you say it, I will agree." His lips moved slightly, the corners of his lips tugged slightly, and a soft voice came out of his mouth.

Shen Yunxi was stunned, her red lips trembled slightly, and she stood in place and watched him walk towards her step by step.

He stopped two steps in front of her, reached out and wiped the tears from her face, and his soft voice in his ear: "Don't cry. Whatever you ask me to do, I promise you. As long as you don't cry. ”

Shen Yunxi's eyes blurred with tears, and he looked at Xiao Yihan for a moment.

Xiao Yihan sighed lightly, "I understand what you mean, after today, I will not appear in front of you again." But how about today? From today onwards, I will do everything you say. ”

"No......" Shen Yunxi bit his lip and shook his head again and again.

Not for a day.

Sometimes, a day is also a long time for a person. So, she doesn't.

If you want to break it, you have to break it completely!

"You must immediately go to the Linhua Palace and tell the Queen Mother that you promised her about accepting a concubine." She said with tears in her eyes, crying.

It turned out that after Feng Linye was called away by Gonggong Li, Shen Yunxi helped the slightly drunk Queen Mother to sit down on the soft couch, while Xiao Yihan waited on the side, in case he could use him.

As soon as the Queen Mother sat down, she patted Shen Yunxi's hand, "Yunxi girl, you can sit down too." After speaking, he raised his head and said to Xiao Yihan: "Yihan, you can also sit." ”

But as soon as she finished saying this, she seemed to remember something, and said: "Yihan, is there a young lady you like among the emperor's grandsons?" You've also reached marriageable age early, and it's time to take a concubine. ”

Xiao Yihan was obviously stunned, obviously not expecting the Queen Mother to mention his concubine at this time. Then, he glanced at Shen Yunxi and said, "Queen Mother, why did you suddenly talk about this?" ”

"Actually, it's not sudden, you're not young. Over the years, for the sake of the court and the emperor, I have been running around for the sake of the emperor, and I have been delayed a lot of time, and I have not been able to implement the matter of your concubine properly. And your mother left early, and I, as the queen mother, should also take care of it for you. Therefore, if you have a favorite lady, tell the mourning family, and the mourning family will make the decision for you. ”

"If not, choose a day and let this official who is above the fifth rank in the court submit all the portraits of the girls in his house for you to choose. Or, if you wish, host a camellia party at the palace for them all. As for you, hide in the shadows and observe carefully. Is that okay? ”

The Queen Mother held her chin in one hand and asked Xiao Yihan with a slight bow.

Xiao Yihan retracted his gaze at Shen Yunxi, turned back to the Empress Dowager and said, "Thank you for the Empress Dowager's wishes." But now that the border is making trouble, Tianqi is afraid that it will not be peaceful for a while, so now is not the time for the ministers to take concubines. ”

The Queen Mother raised her head, rubbed her forehead, and persuaded and said: "Yi Han, the affairs of this country will never be over, as long as Tianqi has something, you will not accept a concubine for a day?" ”

Xiao Yihan pursed her lips, but the Queen Mother didn't give him a chance to speak, so she said again: "Actually, your concubine has nothing to do with this national event. After choosing a concubine and having a family, you can still continue to work for the country. As she spoke, she took Shen Yunxi's hand again, "Look, you and Ye'er are as big as dust, they have already started a family, and now you are the only one alone." You say, don't you? ”

Xiao Yihan lowered his eyes, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were already firm, and he said, "Queen Mother, I want to live a few more days." ”

"Hey...... You......" The Queen Mother raised her hand and pointed at Xiao Yihan helplessly. Then, looking down, he frowned and rubbed his temples.

"Queen Mother, don't worry about the affairs of the ministers. Go to your bed and get some rest. Xiao Yihan said respectfully.

"Yi Han, what the mourning family said just now is not temporary, so you should think about it when you go back." The Queen Mother said, beckoning Gonggong Chen to help her into the inner room.

"Yes, Queen Mother." Xiao Yihan bowed slightly.

Raising his head again, he crashed into Shen Yunxi's deep eyes, his body was slightly stunned, and then he avoided her inquiring gaze, "Let's go out of the palace too." ”

Shen Yunxi turned around, looked at Xiao Yihan's departing figure, lowered his head, pursed his head and thought about something before following his footsteps out of the Linhua Palace.

Perhaps it was because of the Queen Mother's words that she had such feelings.

Xiao Yihan's action of wiping away his tears froze, looked at Shen Yunxi in a daze, took a deep breath, and said: "Yunxi ......" The two short words contain endless helplessness.

"What you just said, as long as I say it, you will agree. Do you want to break your word just by saying this? Shen Yunxi said aggressively.

"Yes, I said I would promise you anything you said. However, this is not included...... Do you know that I ......"

"Nope! I don't know the way, I don't know anything, I know the way, you have to do what you say! Shen Yunxi stubbornly shook his head and said.

Even if Xiao Yihan's words were not finished, she knew what he was going to say.

But it is precisely because of this, precisely because he knows that he is only on her heart, that she insists so much.

In fact, on the night of the Midyear Festival, when she was alienated from him, she should have let him go, instead of forcibly keeping him by her side because she coveted the warmth on her body.

It's that she's too selfish.

Didn't take into account his thoughts, and feelings!

But is it too late for her to do so?

Will he be able to get out of her swamp with pleasure?
