Kong Guifei held a pink and purple sprinkled gold silk peony skirt, the overlapping and complex patterns were decorated with dense beeswax yellow pearls, and the skirt was a delicate and lingering green leaf peach blossom made of red coral rice beads. This outfit makes her look glamorous, and her gestures add a charming temperament.

I shook my head secretly, this concubine, with her family background and such first-class beauty, if she was not so arrogant, not to mention thousands of favors, it would be a matter of being favored by the saints. It's a pity that she doesn't know how to restrain at all, and blindly acts arbitrarily, making people disgusted in vain.

I picked up the lotus-patterned green jade cup on the dining table, filled it with a cup of mulberry wine, and sipped it gently close to my lips. ”

I looked at him suspiciously, but I saw him say to me with warmth, "Today's incident has wronged you." After the incident of Fubi Pavilion last time, I wanted to promote your position, but it has been delayed by the busy state affairs recently. ”

Saying that, Chen Qian pretended to be angry and swept the concubines under the seat, and said, "I really didn't expect that someone would dare to ride on your head because I didn't go to see you for a few days because I was busy with government affairs, which made Qing'er suffer a lot of grievances. Why don't I take this opportunity to promote you today, and see who else dares to bully you. ”

I understand Chen Qian's intentions, he is giving me face in public, because he has not come to Yilan Hall for many days, and some people think that I have fallen out of favor, such as Wu Chenghui, Zhao Lierong and others dare not put me in their eyes and show me face. Chen Qian wanted to show that I was still his favorite concubine, not everyone could look down on me, and to warn those concubines below to be more peaceful, don't want to use means to harm me like Zhang Xiurong.

"Let's be promoted to Zhaorong, the word 'soft' is not good, it seems that Qing'er is too weak and easy to bully, I want to choose another title for Qing'er." Chen Qian looked at me with a smile and gentleness, thought for a moment, and said, "Just take the word 'Hua', the peach is dying, scorching its flower, and it is very compatible with Qing'er." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." I stood up and gave a symbolic thank-you salute.

"Congratulations sister." Yan Shuyuan was the first to congratulate me, and said with a smile: "The peach is dying, scorching its beauty, the son is returning, and the room is IKEA (2)." It can be seen that His Majesty's love for his sister is very important, which makes my sister envious. ”

After hearing "the son of the home, IKEA." At that time, the faces of many concubines changed, and even the original congratulatory smiles on their faces became stiff.

I don't know if Chen Qian is exalting me or hurting me, you must know that "Taoyao" is about a harmonious and happy life between husband and wife. He took the word "Hua" from it, and it was inevitable that he would be hated, not to mention that the queen was his wife, and he said this, and he didn't know if the queen would mind.

The queen on the seat still had a calm smile and a calm appearance, but Chen Qian was a little stunned, as if she was annoyed by what she said.

It's because I thought about it, and it is estimated that Chen Qian also had a temporary idea, and he didn't think about it so much, and he didn't intend to harm me, but he didn't think about it for a while.

continued to drink, and when everyone's eyes were focused on the queen's birthday star, I found that Chen Qian was actually peeking at Wan Zhaoyi. An emperor who sees his beloved concubine also sneaking around? I can't stop laughing, Chen Qian, Chen Qian, I didn't expect you to be so aggrieved.

When I was drunk, my head was a little dizzy, and I quietly left the table when no one was paying attention, and walked out of the Yaoguang Palace, and the cool wind blew, and my brain was a lot clearer.

The twilight converged, half of the sky was darkened, and the thick stratus clouds swayed the dark shadows of thick ink, scattered in the heavy halls, and the layers of intertwined and overlapping light and shadow, deep and shallow, blurred the scenery between the pavilions and hooks, and even the figures with people were like smoke and water.

The green silk cloud sleeves brushed the vermilion trunk, the beaded white skirt flowed like clouds and water with the steps, the corridor twists and turns endlessly, and it seems that it can never be finished.

The flowers and trees in the courtyard are full of green shadows, such as waves and waves, the dense and dense wood hibiscus flowers and leaves are obliquely slanted, and the leaves are covered into a suitable shade of green smoke, the green light is intertwined, and the wind shakes at a glance, shattering the dark shadows that meander and overlap all over the place.

The white hibiscus on the leaves bloomed like ice and snow jade, and it was extraordinarily elegant and beautiful in the night before it fell, and the style was curling, and my heart was shaking when I saw it, and I couldn't help but want to lean over and get closer.

Step out of the porch, stand under the flourishing wood hibiscus flowers and enjoy the flawless grace of the white hibiscus, no one around, so quiet that you can only hear the sound of the flower branches swaying and rustling.

"Wan Zhaoyi, please stay."

A stiff voice suddenly crept into my ears, and I shuddered all over.

Most of the body is hidden under the flowers and trees, squinting at it, on the winding corridor, there are two people. A man and a woman, the man's eyebrows and handsome eyes, and the woman's graceful and graceful, are none other than King An Cheng and Wan Zhaoyi.

Wan Zhaoyi gave a courtesy, politely and detachedly: "What's the matter with the prince?" ”

"Xiao Wang has always had a doubt in his heart, can you ask Zhaoyi to answer it on his behalf?"

Wan Zhaoyi hung her head and said softly: "Don't dare, the concubine knows shallowly, I'm afraid she won't be able to solve the prince's doubts." ”

"Zhaoyi doesn't have to be humble." Chen Ji's eyes were locked on Wan Zhaoyi, and his voice was aggravated, "Xiao Wang's doubts, only Zhaoyi can answer them in the world." ”

"Xiao Wang wants to ask Zhaoyi." Chen Ji's deep eyes added a hint of coldness, "The so-called 'my heart is a bandit stone, and I can't turn it (3)' Is it just four years to throw myself into the arms of other men?" ”

With a cold questioning tone, Wan Zhaoyi, who has always been light-hearted, couldn't help but change her face, "Why should the prince mention the past?" ”

"In the past, Zhaoyi said it easily." Chen Ji's cold voice was mixed with a hint of annoyance and pain, "In the past, it was a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning to you? ”

"Shao Shi, don't be like this." There was a hint of panic in his voice.

Shaoshi? That's King Ancheng's words, called so intimately, it seems that there is a story between these two people. I tilted my head, tilted my ears, and listened more intently.

"And what do you want me to do?" The hidden emotions all exploded, and Chen Ji's tone fluctuated fiercely, "I lived like a prisoner in Chang'an, without food and clothing, hunger and cold, enslavement, and random beating and scolding for seven years. ”

"The days of despair and no end in sight are enough to wear down a person's will to live. However, I am full of thoughts about you, I am afraid of you, I am afraid that you will suffer, I am afraid that you will be bullied, I am afraid that you will be alone and have no one to take care of you. I always remember that there was a person who was waiting for me, waiting for me to go back to her, and I couldn't leave her alone in this world. I'm going to hold on, hold on and go back to her......"

"Say no more!" With the sound of painful and struggling crying, Wan Zhaoyi covered her ears.

"In the end, I made it back." Chen Ji's voice was also painful and heart-wrenching, "My first thought when I came back was to find her, take good care of her, and stay with her for the rest of my life." But I never expected that she would become my sister-in-law. You say, how ridiculous! ”

"I have a hard time, I didn't mean to hurt you." His voice was choked, and he couldn't hide his grief and guilt.

"What kind of hardship, your hardship is that you have to do things for your father-in-law, listen to information for him, infiltrate the Liang Palace, lurk Jiankang, in order to sneak into the Linchuan Palace, even at the expense of selling your body, to be my brother's woman!" Chen Ji looked at Wan Zhaoyi, fiercely and desolately, "Didn't you promise me seven years ago, get rid of the identity of a fine worker, live a normal life, wait for me in Jiankang, and we will stay together for life." Why should you go back on it! ”

Wan Zhaoyi's eyes were full of tears, and she choked up and said sourly: "I can't help it, he is my father-in-law, I have to listen to him, otherwise, ...... I, I can't stand you. ”

"In order to repay Yuwen Go's nurturing kindness? Is he so important, more important than me, so important that you broke our promise for him, so important that you ruined your life for him, and lived as a meticulous worker all your life, never seeing the light? Chen Ji grabbed Wan Zhaoyi's shoulder excitedly and asked, "Qin Wanxi, do you really love me, have you really loved me?" Whatever you do, it's for your stepfather, you never think about my feelings, you don't care if it hurts me, you don't care about me at all! ”

Faced with questioning, Wan Zhaoyi could no longer stop her suppressed emotions, tears fell like bean rain, and she let out a broken low cry, "It's not like this, I care about you, I really want to spend my life with you." It's just that...... It's just that not everything in this world is as good as it should be, and when I was young, I easily made a promise, but it turned out to be ...... It's so hard to keep your promises. ”

Seeing the painful crying of his beloved woman, Chen Ji couldn't help but soften, the hard lines on his face softened, and the last trace of resentment between his eyebrows turned into a painful pity and caressing, and as soon as he pulled his long arm, he hugged Wan Zhaoyi, hugged the slender waist of the person in his arms, and said in a low voice: "Everything can start again, it's not too late to turn back." I'll take you away, out of this palace, and we'll start over. ”

Wan Zhaoyi leaned on Chen Ji's shoulder and cried for a while, but suddenly pushed Chen Ji away forcefully, her snow-white face was still stained with tears, and she looked at Chen Ji with sadness and despair, "No, it's impossible, it's too late, I can't turn back." ”

While saying this, she shook her head again and again, Wan Zhaoyi pulled up her skirt, turned around and ran, her steps were hurried, and her light pleated skirt fluttered and swayed in the night breeze, like a manliu swaying in the wind.

"Wanxi-" Chen Ji called out from behind, but did not catch up, his eyes were fixed on the departing beautiful shadow, full of pain and sorrow, and his face was so gloomy that even the flowers in the courtyard added a layer of sadness.

Wan Zhaoyi is actually the righteous daughter of Yuwen Hu, Zhou Guo's fine work?! This is really shocking news. Who would have thought that Wan Zhaoyi, who was clean and unstained with ice and jade, would be a meticulous work with bad intentions? Is there still a love affair between her and Chen Ji? After thinking about it, Wan Zhaoyi was once the palace maid of Jiangling Liang Palace, and Chen Ji worked as a guard there, so it was not impossible for them to know each other and fall in love there. No wonder Wan Zhaoyi always doesn't care much about Chen Qian's saltiness, it turns out that she is hiding people in her heart. As for Chen Ji, his side concubine is so similar to Wan Zhaoyi in temperament, it must be a substitute that Chen Ji found to solve the pain of lovesickness.

The corners of his lips unconsciously raised, and a gloating smile appeared on his face. Chen Qian, Chen Qian, you never imagined that the woman you love would be an enemy country, hiding around you with bad intentions, let alone that she would have an entanglement with your brother. If Wan Zhaoyi and Chen Ji rekindle their old relationship, it would be best to put a big green hat on Chen Qian, and things will be fun.

Exegesis:

(1) The title comes from the Qing Dynasty Nalan Xingde's "Mulan Words: Quasi-Ancient Decisive Words Cambodian Friends": "Waiting for idle changes but the hearts of the people, but the hearts of the people are changeable." ”

(2) From "The Book of Songs, Zhou Nan, Taoyao" "The peach is dying, scorching its flower, the son is returning, and it is appropriate to have a room and IKEA". The general idea is that when the peach blossoms bloom in spring, it is the time when the woman gets married, and the peach blossoms are scorching, which is people's expectations and wishes for a happy marriage and harmony between husband and wife.

(3) From the pre-Qin anonymous "Bai Zhou" "My heart is a bandit stone, and I can't turn it", describing a firm mind.
