Chapter 22: I Will Miss You
Nie Yuan and Xia Ziyan drank and didn't return to the Xiangfu until late at night. At the moment, he still lives in the same yard as Qiu Luoxue, so when he stumbled past Qiu Luoxue's window, he caught Qiu Luoxue's attention.
Qiu Luoxue had already fallen asleep, and the sound outside woke her up, and through the window screen, she saw a figure passing by outside, and asked, "Nie Shishi, is it you?" ”
After Qiu Luoxue asked, she didn't hear the answer for a while, she put on her clothes and went out, it turned out that Nie Yuan was already sitting on the ground, leaning on the outside verandah and falling asleep.
"Nie Shishi, what's wrong with you?" When Qiu Luoxue saw Nie Yuan for the first time, she thought he had fainted, so she hurriedly ran over to support Nie Yuan, knowing that there was a strong smell of wine on his body, and only then did she know that Nie Yuan was drunk.
"What's the matter, why is this guy still drinking?" Qiu Luoxue muttered.
Although it was already spring, it was still a little cold at night, and Qiu Luoxue was worried that Nie Yuan would get sick if he slept outside, so she helped him up and walked to the room. Although Nie Yuan is not fat, there is a lot of autumn snow in the high places, and when the thin autumn Luoxue supports Nie Yuan, he feels that he will fall at any time. The two stumbled into the room.
On the other side, Xia Ziyan was also drunk. After Nie Yuan left, he simply fell asleep on the table. A lonely moon hung in the sky, and the whole courtyard was set off by the silence and sadness.
Su Muyi didn't know when she came here, looked at the wine jars all over the ground and Xia Ziyan who was asleep, and muttered, "Why are you drunk again?" ”
Su Muyi heard Xia Ziyan talk about his feelings, but she didn't know that the person Xia Ziyan liked was Qiu Luoxue, and she always thought that it was a concubine in Xia Zimo's palace. Even so, it was enough to make Su Muyi sympathize.
Su Muyi sat down opposite Xia Ziyan, looking at Xia Ziyan's handsome face, he suddenly found that Xia Ziyan stayed so quietly, less of the uninhibited laughter on weekdays, and more calm, which was still very good. In this way, Su Muyi looked at it and had a good impression of Xia Ziyan. She also forgot to sleep, so she looked at Xia Ziyan quietly.
Qiu Luoxue wasted a lot of effort to help Nie Yuan into the house, and after arriving at the bedside, Qiu Luoxue just wanted to spread out the cup, but who knew that Nie Yuan poured himself into the bed, not only that, but also brought Qiu Luoxue down. The two fell to the bed together, Nie Yuan lay on the bed, and Qiu Luoxue fell on top of him.
This blow woke up the sleeping Nie Yuan, he opened his eyes in a daze, with drunkenness in his eyes, saw Qiu Luoxue lying in his arms, and asked, "Haven't you slept yet?" ”
"I was asleep, but you woke me up." Qiu Luoxue said, and asked again: "Why do you drink so much wine?" You're not an alcoholic. ”
At this time, Nie Yuan had not yet woken up from drunkenness, and when he heard Qiu Luoxue's question, his sadness rose again, and he said, "Because of heartache." ”
"Heartache? Why? Qiu Luoxue asked puzzled.
"Because the smile is so beautiful." Nie Yuan said without saying anything, and the joyful smile of Qiu Luoxue appeared in his mind now.
But Nie Yuan's words made Qiu Luoxue stunned for a while, and she asked strangely: "Shouldn't the beauty of a smile be happy?" Why does it hurt heartbreaking? ”
Nie Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Because that smile is not aimed at me." ”
Qiu Luoxue didn't know Nie Yuan's feelings, and he didn't know why he was so sad today, but he could hear Nie Yuan's sadness and comforted: "It's okay, I'll smile at you in the future." So don't be sad. ”
"No, you won't." Nie Yuan said, "Your laughter is for others, not for me." ”
Nie Yuan woke up the next day, remembering what he said today, and regretted it very much. He didn't think he should say those things to Qiu Luoxue. Another thing that Nie Yuan has been struggling with is whether Qiu Luoxue understood what he said last night. But what he could be sure of was that the throbbing of Qiu Luoxue lying in his arms yesterday made his heart even more excited. If he keeps getting along like this, then he will continue to fall deeper and deeper, and will he still be able to control his mind at that time?
In the past few days, Nie Yuan has been thinking about this question, but he has never received an answer. While he was thinking about these issues, Qiu Luoxue's status in Daqin was rising day by day. The emperor decreed that the women's clothes of Qiu Luoxue would be restored, and women's clothes could also be worn in the court in the future, so he also designed a set of women's prime minister's clothes for her. This outfit is not very different from the original men's clothing, they are all bright red clothes, but the style has changed and it has become a skirt.
On this day, all the ministers were already above the court, and the prime minister's seat was still vacant. Xia Zimo sat on the dragon chair and said in a calm voice: "Welcome ......"
After saying this, the ministers said in unison: "Welcome to the Prime Minister of Qiu." ”
In the voice of the ministers, Qiu Luoxue entered the court wearing red makeup. Qiu Luoxue's hairstyle in women's clothes naturally changed back to a woman's hairstyle, her long black hair hung down, and a breeze came from outside the hall, blowing her hair flying. She wore a light makeup on her face, which made her already delicate face even better.
Qiu Luoxue's hand is holding a wat and is very dignified. She walked lightly through the middle passage, with the courtiers standing on either side. She tried not to look at the people's expressions, because she wasn't sure what kind of gaze they would cast. However, no matter what those people think, she still has to gain a firm foothold in this court, because that is one of the few things she can do for Xia Zimo.
Jiang Shilian stared at Qiu Luoxue since he had entered the main hall, as if he wanted to see through Qiu Luoxue. Also, he must be very unconvinced. In terms of qualifications, he is the most qualified to be the prime minister, when he thought that Qiu Luoxue was a man, he was a little more balanced in his heart, but now that he knows that Qiu Luoxue is a woman, he is even more angry. The supreme position second only to the emperor is what Jiang Shilian has always been pursuing, and it is precisely because of this that he chooses to join forces with King Chen.
This time, Jiang Shilian said that Qiu Luoxue was a woman, thinking that he could take the opportunity to move to her, but he didn't expect that the emperor, Lord Yan, and the former emperor were all protecting Qiu Luoxue. Not only did his plan fail, but it also benefited from the cheap autumn snow. Thinking of this, Jiang Shilian clenched his fists angrily.
"Weichen see the emperor." Qiu Luoxue walked to the center of the hall and knelt down and said.
Xia Zimo looked at Qiu Luoxue with gentle eyes and said, "Well, it looks much more comfortable to change back into women's clothes, let's get flat." ”
"...... Prime Minister Qiu Cheng has already gone to the court in women's clothes. The palace maid of Renfeng Palace reported to Concubine Jiang Guifei.
Hearing this report, a smile appeared on Concubine Jiang's face, which made the palace maid very puzzled, and asked: "Prime Minister Qiu is now smooth sailing, reaching out to the emperor's favor, and there are rumors in the palace that she is very likely to become the queen." Why is the mother still happy? ”
"You don't know." Concubine Jiang Guifei looked at the palace maid and said, "She can only choose one of the identities of the prime minister and the queen." Now the more smoothly she is in the court, the less likely she is to become empress. ”
"But......" the palace maid said worriedly, "I heard that the ministers of the court are discussing the removal of Prime Minister Qiu from his official position, including Niangniang's father, if they succeed, Prime Minister Qiu is still very likely to become the queen." ”
"So this palace plans to help Qiu Luoxue and help her keep the position of prime minister." Jiang Guifei said, her eyes flashing with wisdom.
"Is that lady planning to do it against Lord Jiang?" The palace maid asked.
Concubine Jiang looked out the window with faint eyes and said, "Since I fell in love with Your Majesty in this palace, I am destined to stand on the opposite side of my father. ”
Outside the window is a piece of prosperity, the cold winter has passed, and the flowers are blooming again, one after the other, one after another, revealing the breath of spring. And Jiang Guifei's heart is still staying in the cold winter. She fell in love with the most noble man in the world, but that man loved another woman.
After the next dynasty, Xia Zimo left Qiu Luoxue in the name of handling government affairs, but both of them knew it. After Qiu Luoxue arrived at the imperial study, Xia Zimo retreated from all his subordinates. When the two of them were the only ones left in the hall, they laughed in unison. Xia Zimo took the initiative to step down from the dragon chair, hugged Qiu Luoxue, and circled in the hall. There was a smile like a silver bell in the autumn snow in the palace, and the atmosphere of happiness was everywhere.
After holding Qiu Luoxue for a few turns, Xia Zimo stopped, looked at Qiu Luoxue's happy smile, and couldn't help but drop a kiss on her forehead. Qiu Luoxue will not hide now, and accepts Xia Zimo's kiss with peace of mind.
"Your Majesty, are you pretending to be a public servant? What about handling government affairs? Qiu Luoxue asked with a smile.
"What to do? I'm afraid I'm going to be a mediocre emperor, and I don't want to deal with government affairs when I see you. Xia Zimo said.
Qiu Luoxue said: "Then you can't see me, I'd better go first." As he spoke, he pretended to leave.
However, Xia Zimo had already firmly grasped her hand, so that she couldn't leave. Xia Zimo said: "If you leave, I won't be able to handle government affairs." ”
"Why?" Qiu Luoxue asked.
"Because I'm going to miss you." Xia Zimo hooked his lips and said with a smile, his smile could stir Qiu Luoxue's heart even more.
"What can I do? I'm afraid I'm going to be a disaster. Qiu Luoxue said embarrassedly.
"I will try to make you only a celebrity, not a disaster." Xia Zimo said as he took Qiu Luoxue's hand and walked to the dragon chair, the desk was full of folds, these are all things that Xia Zimo wants to review today.
It seems that it is not easy to be a good emperor and have a happy love. But fortunately, Xia Zimo is a capable emperor.
Jiang Shilian's face remained gloomy after he left the court, and when he returned home, he immediately wrote a letter and handed it to his cronies: "Send this letter to King Chen immediately, and you must hand it over to him personally." ”
"Yes." The cronies soon set off with the letters.
A grim look flashed in Jiang Shilian's eyes, and he said, "Xia Zimo, Qiu Luoxue...... Let's just let you have a little more fun. ”
A huge conspiracy was sent from Jiangfu in the capital to Chenwangfu in a distant place. What kind of waves will this conspiracy set off? Let's wait and see.
