Chapter 153: Go Back

Winter gets dark early, and there is still some time before the first shift, and the sky has already darkened, and the early rising stars hang lonely on the edge of the clouds, obscuring the moonlight on the horizon. The lights in the Forbidden City are gradually brightened up, if you look down condescendingly, the palace city is like a star composed of lights, surrounded by a darkness in the imperial city, it actually reveals an extremely quiet Zen, at the foot of Jingshan behind the palace city, there is a faint light, in addition, the imperial city is a silent darkness, only with enough eyesight, can barely see the outline of the building.

Although there are two or three rooms of light in Yichun Palace, the cramped lower room locks all the lights in the house, and also locks the whispers in the house. The bathtub in the kitchen was still rippling with residual water, and the stove was burning brightly, although it was night, but no one bothered to seal the stove for it, and the two rooms with kang were a little warmer than usual, and even the lights seemed to be more prosperous than before.

"If you want to say that you don't understand you, it's actually not ......" The emperor hugged Xu Xun, his voice was low and soft, and he told his heart carefully, "I also think that you will not be willing...... I think you might be upset, but I think you're not going to show it......"

Suddenly, he remembered his mother's words: 'The reason why Concubine Zhuang behaves like this is only because her mind is very pure. ’

Yes, it is because he is used to dealing with twists and turns, and because he is used to people hiding their thoughts and confiding words that are in line with his identity and interests, when Xu Xun expresses his emotions fiercely, he will be so uncomfortable and angry. The emperor is used to saying one thing and another, and he is used to being given up in everything, even if Xu Xun has an opinion in his heart, he actually doesn't know, he just expects Xu Xun to suppress his unhappiness and give this drudgery to the next with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xun was already so bitter in his heart, and he had already misunderstood him to this point.

He didn't understand Xu Xun, how could he not understand Xu Xun? The emperor whispered, "You see, if I really didn't know you, I wouldn't have talked to you about it like that, and I would have felt that the whole thing was tossed because you wanted to be the queen, wouldn't it?" ”

In fact, when he said it, he also felt that his statement was a bit far-fetched - Xu Xun didn't know that he was really determined to abolish the queen, and the whole thing was tossed by her, where to start, it was to guess maliciously, at most, it could only be said that Xu Xun saw an opportunity in it and bravely faced the difficulties.

That is, because I understand Xu Xun's character, I believe that she really doesn't want to be a queen, and she didn't toss from it, otherwise, it is not difficult to think about her practices in a bad way.

The emperor was still waiting for Xu Xun to raise the bar with him - according to this person's temperament, he would not let go of his speech disease easily, and he was indeed ready to take advantage of the situation and Xu Xun to make amends, but to his surprise, Xu Xun did not hold on to this sentence, but shook his head gently.

From just now to now, Xu Xun has always been a little silent, even these words did not let her open the chatterbox, she seemed very uninterested, seeing that the emperor did not speak, just waiting for her to speak, she said in a low voice, "The previous things have passed, so why mention it again......"

"Xiao Xun ......" The emperor was also a little sad by her tone.

"I don't blame you......" Xu Xun was amused by his tone, and her words became a little more, "You have treated me very well, I can't ask for more, it's me who is not satisfied......"

In the past, Xu Xun, although not the kind of energy is endless, the torch is like a burning temperament, but her steady, elegant, has always been full of a passion for life, the emperor often feels when he comes to Yong'an Palace, although the same is to eat and sleep, but Xu Xun's life is particularly delicious. But now, although she still lived her life to the fullest, the emperor felt that her attitude was much more detached than before. She talked about him in a tone that seemed to mean that there was nothing more to ask of him.

The emperor suddenly felt the powerlessness that was common and unusual: when he was accustomed to what everyone around him wanted to ask for, suddenly there was one person who stopped asking for it, and he was a little helpless, and he didn't know how to get her liking.

"Don't do that." His mood also fell, different from the smoldering anger a while ago, the annoyance of being betrayed, and the empty pain of being lost now, I can't tell which pain is more disturbing - however, this pain makes the emperor feel more frustrated and helpless, "Xiao Xun, it's me who is wrong, I have wronged you for myself...... I'll pay you for it, okay? ”

"Don't mention it again." Xu Xun was still not interested, but her momentum rose, and she glanced at the emperor, "If you talk about this matter, you should go back to the Qianqing Palace." ”

On the contrary, the emperor was happy, "Okay, good, don't mention it." ”

He touched Xu Xun's hair and smelled the very simple soaphorn smell on it - in Nannei, Xu Xun used all the toiletries used by ordinary palace maids, and the fragrance on his body naturally changed. However, his complexion did not become haggard because of this, but was in good spirits. The complexion is ruddy, the hair is black and shiny, and the waist is ......

The emperor tightened his embrace, and it didn't take much effort to make sure: Xu Xun's figure seemed to be tighter than before.

This man is sentimental, and he is no worse than women, otherwise, those classics of girlfriend grievances and palace grievances would not all be written by men. The emperor was a little sour and a little sad, hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Xun, you are in Yong'an Palace, are you not happy here yet?" ”

"Except for not being able to see a little bit, I'm quite happy in Nannai." Xu Xun replied very calmly.

The Emperor was a little uncomfortable again—Xu Xun's words were as if his absence and anger had no effect on her.

"Is it because of the reason I just said that I am not happy in Yong'an Palace?" It is inevitable to get to the bottom of it.

Xu Xun was silent for a while, and then said softly, "Sort of." ”

As soon as I heard this, there was something untrue, and the emperor 'Huh? "What else is there besides this?" ”

"It's not that I'm still hiding it from you......" Xu Xun showed her understanding of the emperor, but with just a change in tone, she guessed the reason for his emotional change. Sometimes I am unhappy in my heart, and I can't say weishenme. I can only say that I had a very happy time in Nannai. ”

The emperor couldn't understand her mood, so he could only respond very blankly, Xu Xun was amused by him, she said very casually, "Sometimes in the palace, I feel that the atmosphere between people is always very tense, and I have to think twice before every word is said - whether it is in line with my identity, whether it will be listened to by people with intentions, and I will inadvertently make enemies." Even your subordinates for many years may not be able to fully trust, there are always some such and such things, although you can't catch real evidence, but it is easy for you to feel that the affection between people is not a ...... at all"

And in Nannei, although you can't talk to people, you don't have to worry about interpersonal relationships, this boundless loneliness may also be a kind of relaxation for Xu Xun.

The emperor also vaguely felt a burst of unhappiness in his heart - he understood Xu Xun and didn't understand her, he understood her motives for being so careful, Xu Xun was indeed a very polite and well-behaved person. Over the years, although she has been favored, she has formed good karma everywhere, and it is impossible for a willful person to do this. But the emperor still didn't understand - she was so pampered, couldn't Weishenme relax herself properly? is like Sun Guifei, although she is not arrogant and domineering, at least she can play petty from time to time. Not to mention Sun Guifei, even the queen, many times when she does things, she doesn't take the queen's duty in her eyes at all.

The relationship between the two people can be said to be on the verge of breaking down before, but now although the 'misunderstanding' has been solved, the only one who is angry, distressed, and regretful is the emperor, Xu Xun is neither cold nor hot to him, and he is not happy because of his confession and daoqian. The emperor was not dissatisfied with her in his heart - Xu Xun must have been heartbroken that day, and the reaction would be so fierce. Although it was due to a misunderstanding, I explained it myself, but the person who got into the tip of the horn of the bull did not ease up so easily. The emperor didn't want to correct Xu Xun's approach now, lest he push her further away.

"It's almost dinner, why hasn't anyone delivered food yet?" He digressed from the subject, trying to find an hourglass, only to find that there was not even a timekeeping tool in the room.

"It seems like it's past the time to deliver food...... Maybe you're in there, and they don't dare come in. Xu Xun sat up and left the emperor's arms, "I'll go out and shout - don't go out of the house, your hair hasn't dried yet." ”

As if he didn't want to stay in his arms, it seemed that he had begun to care about her. The emperor also suffered a little bit in his heart, and he couldn't figure it out a little. He sighed, "You should wear more clothes too, don't catch a cold." ”

Xu Xun answered, and began to put on her big clothes, but before she went out, the eunuchs beside the two emperors also brought dinner in tremblingly.

The emperor has not gone out for so long, it should be a relatively good omen, so they dared to come in to deliver food, and sure enough, seeing that the emperor and Xu Xun stayed in the same room, they were also very peaceful with each other. The two eunuchs were visibly relieved, put down their food boxes, and saluted the emperor and Xu Xun, and the emperor said, 'Go down,' and they withdrew—but did not dare to retreat, and went down to the opposite roof, waiting for the summons at any time.

The emperor sat on the edge of the kang and looked at Xu Xun for a while, feeling a little funny, but a little sour - Xu Xun obviously didn't want him to stay for dinner, in other words, she thought he should go, but she was embarrassed to say it.

"Why do you stand still?" He deliberately pretended to be confused.

"I only have a pair of dishes and chopsticks......," Xu Xun said dumbly, "Moreover, I usually take a large pot and steam it before eating, but now that you are here, the water in the pot over there is used, and you haven't scooped it in to boil it......"

The emperor glanced at Xu Xun, "Do you really want me to go?" ”

"Nope." Xu Xun denied it very sincerely. "The whole Forbidden City is your place...... I'm still your concubine, and if you come, I'm sure I'll have to serve you well—but you see, the conditions here are limited......"

Serving, serving, and serving, the emperor was really uncomfortable at this time-he suddenly realized that Xu Xun's perfect performance many times may be just because she regarded serving herself as her job and duty, so she had no temper with him, so she always treated him so warmly...... She rarely showed negative emotions in front of him, perhaps not because she didn't, but because she didn't want to.

Is it because there is no him in my heart?

If that were the case, it wouldn't have been like that that day. Only when you are truly emotionally invested will you move that kind of emotion......

The emperor didn't dare to think any further: if he continued to think about it, he could only draw one conclusion. - His performance could not make Xu Xun trust at all, Xu Xun never believed that he liked her, in her heart, as long as she did not behave well enough, not competent enough, he would turn his face and be ruthless at any time.

It's also too ...... It's too suspicious, what he has given her in the past ten years is not something that ordinary concubines can enjoy......

But the emperor reminded himself again: his performance that day actually proved that Xu Xun's idea was not wrong. It's just because he disobeyed his temperament that he was imprisoned in Nannei. Such a so-called favor, how should Xu Xun believe it?

Perhaps because of his own weakness, although he was a little uncomfortable, the emperor did not embarrass himself to bring up such a topic, he accosted him and got off the kang, walked to the edge of the table, lifted the lid of the food box and took a look.

"Xiao Xun, let's go back to Yong'an Palace!" The Emperor blurted out, "I'll go back tonight." ”

It could be seen that Xu Xun's attitude towards him was very surprised, and she also stretched out her head and looked at the dishes in the box.

"It's not bad......"

Muttering in such a puzzled way, she glanced at the emperor again, and the emperor almost laughed - although this dish is sorry for Xu Xun's identity, but it is not so bad, the emperor has seen the suffering of the people. It's just that...... It's just that you have to have something to say, right?

Thinking like this, Xu Xun shook his head again, "It is said that you let me go back, it is a big face, and I should not refuse......"

Although he didn't explicitly say his refusal, his attitude was already obvious - Xu Xun didn't want to go back to Yong'an Palace.
