CHAPTER XVI
As soon as these words came out, the dormitory fell into a dead silence.
After a moment, I blinked my slightly sour eyes.
"Okay, okay, I'm asking about it, you don't have to say it."
It was only at this point that I realized how scared she was that the answer was not what she thought, so she chose to give up knowing the truth.
"Fool, I'm just wondering how to tell you better."
After a pause, Li Yiqian continued, "Since you asked about the previous dynasty, then naturally you know what I think, right?" β
"I can guess a few."
"Hehe, my country is built by force, and the court has always been heavy on military and light on literature, but now it is a prosperous age, and if you want to govern the country, you can't completely rely on military generals. Although I have the intention to promote civilian officials, I also need to do it slowly, otherwise the forced rebellion of the military generals will cause chaos in the world. Then I will be a sinner in the world. β
"You suddenly spoiled me, is it because you want to use it to promote civil officials? Use me as a shield. "I felt a sense of loss in my heart.
"Although I would love to support civil officials, I will not use you as a pawn. I really like you, silly Xin'er, how can you doubt your husband so much? It's really begging. β
"When did you start...", I felt a little shy and pursed my lips, "I started to like me." β
"Maybe it's the fate of my last life, I fell in love with you at first sight." Li Yiqian thought to himself, with the fate of the previous life, this life is indeed at first sight, I am not lying.
"Then why did you ignore me when you first entered the palace, and finally..."
"I thought, if I keep alienating you, will it be the best protection for you? If you don't have a favor on you, you won't be the target of everyone in the harem, so you will be safe. But then I figured out that being petless is not the safest state, and I can only protect you if I put you in front of me. But it still makes people take advantage of the loopholes. β
After a moment's hesitation, I asked the same question she cared about. "Then will you choose to give up on me because you want to balance the previous dynasty?"
"No, in this life, I will never let go of you again." Li Yiqian hugged me tightly, as if this was the only way to confirm that I belonged to him.
Suddenly thinking of something, I asked, "Then are you also very good to Sister Yun, and ask her to ask the Prime Minister to help you in the previous dynasty?" β
Hearing this, Li Yiqian laughed.
"Xin'er is not vinegar."
"Not really." I replied awkwardly, but my heart was still a little sour.
"How do you know I didn't make a deal with Lady Lady?" Thinking of this, Li Yiqian couldn't help but be a little stunned.
In the previous life, it wasn't until his body reached the end of the strong crossbow that he knew that his concubine was a woman who was proficient in medicine. It was then that he learned the biggest secret in Wang Jinyun's heart. So in this life, he was very fortunate to be able to return to Wang Jinyun's first night in the palace, and he used this secret to exchange for an "ally" for himself.
"Then you and Sister Yun?" I'm a little curious.
Li Yiqian whispered to me about his deal with Wang Jinyun.
I was surprised by the content of the transaction, it turned out...
"It's a secret that can't be told, can you remember it?"
"Mm-hmm, I know, I won't tell anyone. It's just that you're really going to let Sister Yun... After allβ" I still can't believe it.
"Of course, I'm not up to my word. Besides, it's enough for me to have you. Sooner or later, I will make you the most envied woman in the world. β
The words full of affection made my heart soften. Before we knew it, we were sleeping in each other's arms.
When I woke up the next day, I found that there was no one around me.
"Purple Star." I called someone in and wanted to get up and freshen up.
"Niangniang, the emperor said that you are not feeling well, so you don't have to go to Yuzhen Palace to ask for peace in the future."
Purple Star came in and cleaned up for me.
After breakfast, I told Xiaoxi to call Lin Yayin over.
"Niangniang, something so big happened to you, the second lady didn't come to see you yesterday, why should you..."
"If you have a guess, you always have to confirm it." I said lightly.
As soon as he entered the door, Lin Yayin shouted directly without saluting.
"Sister, are you okay~ Yesterday I heard that you were poisoned, and I was scared to death. I remembered that I should have come to see you when Xiaoxi went to see me today, and you won't blame me for not coming to see you yesterday. After speaking, he frowned.
In the past, I only thought she was innocent and cute, and she was used to playing with me, so she deliberately didn't do anything to close the distance between us. At this moment, knowing about Ziyun Forging, I only felt a chill welling up in my heart. I'm afraid she never took me to heart.
I took a deep breath to hide the anger in my heart, and said with a smile: "How come, my sister can't go out, I called you over to be a companion because I missed you." β
"It's good that my sister doesn't blame me, I'll come to talk to my sister every day in the future, so that my sister won't feel bored."
"Wouldn't it be boring to accompany my sister? I don't know your girl's temperament? If you really let you come to accompany me every day, you're afraid you're going to suffocate to death. β
"Hee-hee, my sister still understands me."
"Second Miss, the tea is here." At this time, Zixing walked in with tea.
"Osmanthus tea? It's so fragrant, no, sister, you're not..."Lin Yayin said and looked at me.
"It's nothing, this is the last time the idle palace sent it, you also know that I can't touch the osmanthus, so I soaked in the hospitality. If you want it, take the rest back, I remember you like osmanthus. β
"Sister, then I won't be polite to you! Thank you, sister. After speaking, Lin Yayin smiled sweetly.
"By the way, has Xiangong sent you osmanthus aromatherapy recently?" I asked Lin Yayin as if unintentionally, but my eyes were staring at her, for fear of falling behind one of her reactions.
Hearing me mention the osmanthus fragrance, Lin Yayin's hand unconsciously picked up her fingers.
"Osmanthus fragrance, no. Sister, you know, the palace concubines below the third grade are not eligible to receive supplies. Sister, why do you ask that. β
Seeing this, my heart has been affirmed. Lin Yayin only picks her fingers when she is nervous and lying, which is a habit she has had since she was a child.
"Sister just wants to see if you have any shortcomings, and the osmanthus fragrance is what you like, so just ask."
"Sister, you're so nice~"
"The emperor has arrived!" Mu Xiu's voice came from outside the courtyard.
Lin Yayin hurriedly ran out, "The concubine has seen the emperor." β
Li Yiqian didn't look at her and walked directly into the house.
Lin Yayin shook off the veil hatefully, although she was unwilling, she still followed in.
Who knows, as soon as he entered the door, he heard that Li Yiqian was caring about Lin Yaxin.
"Xin'er, are you feeling unwell today? Have you eaten? β
"Everything is fine, you don't have to worry." I smiled back.
"Sister, how can you call the emperor to you, this is a big disrespect!" Lin Yayin pretended to be innocent and asked me.
"It's my sister who is reckless, don't say it." I pretended to be remorseful.
Li Yiqian's face darkened suddenly. "Why are you here? I don't know if Xin'er needs to recuperate? Unceremoniously asked Lin Yayin.
