Chapter 12: Would You Wish?

However, why did Sister Yun harm me? I have no conflict of interest with her. Moreover, she is very interested in her brother... It's impossible to hurt me, something must have gone wrong. What's wrong?

"Konishi, let's go out for a walk in the main palace."

I want to go out and sober myself up, or I'll be stuck in this murderous circle and can't get out.

"But dinner is coming soon. Master..."Konishi looked a little hesitant.

"It's okay, let's use it when the main palace comes back."

Since it was meal time, there weren't many people walking around.

"Master, let's go back, it's cold, be careful of the wind and cold." Konishi is very worried about this.

"Hmm."

After a moment of soberness, I think I've been able to clear my mind.

It was late at night, and I was lying in bed tossing and turning, and I couldn't sleep at night. He simply sat up, thinking about Ziyun Forging.

Ziyun Forging was sent by Zhou Yunqing, so no matter who instructed her, this matter would have nothing to do with her.

Since Zhou Yunqing has not received osmanthus fragrance recently, her fragrance must have been obtained from others.

Liu Yuyang, Sister Yun, or someone else. As long as you know who gave her the fragrance, then everything else will naturally be clear.

The next day

"Miss, Grandpa Mu is here."

"Oh? Please come in. ā€

"The slave has seen Xinjieyu."

Mu Xiu secretly looked at Lin Yaxin in front of him. With his experience in the palace for so many years, although the master in front of him has not yet been favored, he knows that this must be a golden phoenix. So he didn't dare to treat her slowly. Salute respectfully.

"Father-in-law Mu, please get up."

"The emperor has ordered you to go to the plum garden now."

"Plum Garden? This is the main palace. Purple Star, help Hongu bring the cloak. ā€

"Yes, miss."

Plum Garden, the place where I was alone with Li Yiqian last time. Suddenly, I thought of the painting he had given me. What does that mean exactly?

"Here you are, sit down."

Without waiting for me to salute, Li Yiqian asked me to sit next to him.

Then came a deathly silence.

"I don't know what happened to the emperor calling concubines?" Seeing that Li Yiqian's eyes were far-reaching, I didn't know what he was thinking, and I interrupted his contemplation with something to say.

Li Yiqian seemed to think that there was another person beside him.

After a pause, "Does Xin'er love me?" ā€

What do you mean? I was a little puzzled, I didn't know what his purpose was in asking this question, was it a temptation or... I didn't know what he meant, so I replied with a very vague answer.

"Is there any concubine in the palace who doesn't love the emperor? Since you have chosen to enter the palace, you must be in love. ā€

"You... Have you ever thought about leaving the palace? If you want, I can let you out, and I will not pursue the Imperial Historian's Mansion. ā€

Leaving the palace? A trace of bitterness welled up in my heart, what a beautiful dream it was, I never wanted to come in, but when I thought of my father, my eldest brother and my mother, I couldn't leave.

resumed her old light smile, "Since the concubine has stepped into the palace gate, she has never thought about going out again." ā€

"yes, it's my mistake. In that case, I'll go to Yuquan Palace tonight. Xiao Muzi, send Xinjieyu back. ā€

The problem that had plagued Li Yiqian for a long time was finally resolved. Xin'er, as long as you refuse, I will let you go. Whatever the reason, if you don't want to, stay with me, and I won't let you go. I'll definitely protect you, too, not like... A touch of pain crossed Li Yiqian's eyes.

Walking out of the plum garden, my heart was full of puzzlement. What does it mean this time? Calling me over in a daze, is it just asking a question that there is no second answer to at all? Why is Li Yiqian always so strange when he faces me alone. When I was drafted before, I was asked if I wanted to enter the palace, and now I am asked if I want to leave the palace, what is going on?

My head hurts, but I still can't figure it out.

"Please Xinjieyu prepare well, the emperor said that he would come to accompany you to finish the meal. The minions retired. ā€

By the time I came back to my senses, Mu Xiu had already left Yuquan Palace.

"Zixing, you go and let Xiaoxi and the small kitchen prepare. For dinner, the vegetarian food is lighter, make a few more, and only use less. ā€

Motioning for Zixing to go out, I sat in my chair in a daze.

Are you going to bed today? This is to share the same husband with many other women in the real sense, including Yin'er and Sister Yun. I felt a little stuffy in my heart.

In a blink of an eye, it was already dinner time, and Li Yiqian really came.

After eating quietly, I was a little overwhelmed.

"Xin'er go bathe first, I'll wait for you." After speaking, Li Yiqian glanced at me ambiguously and walked towards the dormitory.

I understood what he meant, and my face flushed.

After bathing, I found that the bedding clothes that Purple Star had prepared for me were red. After inquiry, I learned that this was ordered by Li Yiqian, and after the change, I was a little timid and didn't dare to go out.

In the end, Konishi called me out.

Anyway, there is such a day sooner or later, early and late, I can only comfort myself.

When I arrived at the dormitory, I saw Li Yiqian looking at the notebook I had read before, with a soft smile on his face.

At this time, he was also wearing a red undershirt, which was very similar to the bedclothes that ordinary people wear when they get married.

"Your Majesty." I whispered.

Li Yiqian raised his head and motioned for me to sit on the bed. Only then did I find that the bedding had changed to red at some point, and the bed was sprinkled with red dates, peanuts, longan, and lotus seeds.

"It's—" I wet my eyes uncontrollably. This is something that ordinary people only have when they marry a wife, which means that they will have a noble son early. But now in the palace, except for the queen, no one dares to enjoy such treatment, even if it is a concubine, it is just a concubine, not to mention my Jieyu.

"In the future, I will not be my husband but your husband, the closest person to you, and you will not be a concubine but a Xin'er. I can't make you a posterior now, but I'll make it up to you later. Are you willing to grieve for me for some time and be with me for the rest of your life? Li Yiqian took my hand and said, his tone full of seriousness.

I don't know if I will regret it in the future, but at this moment, my heart is full of happiness, glad that I chose to enter the palace, glad that I stayed.

"I am willing, for the rest of my life, I will live up to you." After all, the tears still didn't hold back, and they crossed his cheeks.

"Silly girl, what are you crying about, today is a happy day." Li Yiqian gently wiped away the tears from my face.

Dragged me to the table and poured two glasses of wine.

"How can you not drink a glass of wine on your wedding night?"

After drinking, I was suddenly picked up by him and walked to the bed.

After the clouds and rain, I lay in Li Yiqian's arms and felt extremely happy.

I thought I would sleep very deeply, but I didn't want to...
