Chapter 21: Will You Be My Queen?
"Niangniang, Your Majesty is not in the palace, Niangniang, please go back." Jin Fu was guarding outside the hall of the Qilong Palace, and when he saw Jiang Guifei coming, he said respectfully.
"I know His Majesty is in the palace, he just doesn't want to see me." Concubine Jiang put her posture very low, and she said, "It's okay, I'll wait here for Your Majesty until she wants to see me." ”
"Niangniang, it's not that Your Majesty doesn't want to see you, he is really no longer in the palace." Kim Bok continued to persuade.
Jiang Guifei was still very persistent that Xia Zimo didn't want to see her, and said: "The person who revealed Prime Minister Qiu's identity is the father of this palace, how can Your Majesty meet this palace?" ”
Jiang Guifei is actually in a dilemma, she has always loved Xia Zimo deeply, but her father is the person Xia Zimo wants to deal with, Xia Zimo is the person his father wants to deal with, they are destined to be enemies, even if they are not now, they will be in the future. At that time, Jiang Guifei will undoubtedly have to make a choice to help Xia Zimo or her father, but she doesn't want to make a choice yet.
Jin Fu was also helpless when he saw that Jiang Guifei was so persistent. He is just a subordinate, although he is deeply trusted by Xia Zimo, he still can't control the concubine, he can only convey Xia Zimo's opinion, as for how to react, he can't decide.
So, Concubine Jiang stood outside Xia Zimo's palace and waited for Xia Zimo to summon her. But now Xia Zimo is not in the palace at all, so naturally he can't summon her. That person is with his beloved at the moment, and he can't estimate anyone else.
"You arranged that, I knew you would have a way." Qiu Luoxue said.
They chose to still be at the Shadow Guard base, and Qiu Luoxue was sitting on a swing. She didn't expect that there would be such a girly thing in the Shadow Guard Base, and she was very surprised. In addition, the environment here is also very good, flowers and trees grow vigorously, there are streams, springs, and ponds, and it is definitely a good place to enjoy the scenery.
"Knowing that I have a way, you still say that in the court, and let people abandon you to protect themselves." Xia Zimo stood opposite Qiu Luoxue, leaning on the rope of the swing with both hands, shaking the swing from time to time, and playing with Qiu Luoxue for a while.
Qiu Luoxue smiled apologetically and said, "I'm not sure, in case you don't have these back-ups, of course, you have to abandon me temporarily, so that you can keep your position and your country." ”
"But I don't intend to abandon you, I was, I am, and I will be." Xia Zimo said what he thought.
"No, it can't be like that." Qiu Luoxue said anxiously, in order to make those words clear, she artificially stopped the swing, went to Xia Zimo, and said: "If you encounter such a thing again in the future, you must learn to abandon me and save yourself." Because I know that your renunciation is only temporary. You have to learn to forsake me with a false sense of abandonment, and I will be waiting for you where I am. ”
Qiu Luoxue said this sentence word by word, and Xia Zimo also listened to it word by word, this passage was deeply imprinted in his heart, because of Qiu Luoxue's love for him at this time. But even so, Xia Zimo still didn't plan to abandon Qiu Luoxue. If he encounters such a situation again, he will also try to plan everything and protect the autumn snow. But will things really be as he thinks?
When Xia Ziyan and Nie Yuan passed by here, they happened to see the scene of Qiu Luoxue and Xia Zimo together. Qiu Luoxue sat on the swing, Xia Zimo pushed the swing behind, and a gust of wind blew and blew down the peach blossoms not far away, forming a petal rain between the two. And Qiu Luoxue and Xia Zimo were both smiling happily.
The two people who saw this scene unconsciously stopped, and Xia Ziyan sighed first: "It's so beautiful." ”
"yes, it's beautiful." Nie Yuan also said, their eyes cast in the same direction.
Xia Ziyan retracted his gaze, looked at Nie Yuan and asked, "I think the beauty is beautiful, what about you?" ”
"I think the beauty of a beautiful woman's smile." Nie Yuan looked at Qiu Luoxue's smiling face, and he was really going to indulge in her smile.
After listening to Nie Yuan's words, Xia Ziyan also moved his gaze to Qiu Luoxue's smile and said, "Yes, it looks like you should be very happy." ”
Qiu Luoxue and Xia Zimo looked happy, but Xia Ziyan and Nie Yuan didn't look happy. Also, there is only one Qiu Luoxue, and the only one she likes is Xia Zimo, so someone is destined to be sad. It's just that neither Xia Ziyan nor Nie Yuan thought before that there would be someone who would be as sad as themselves. This can only say that the love of both of them is too tightly hidden and too deep.
"When did you know she was a woman?" Nie Yuan asked.
"I knew it when I was eight years old." Xia Ziyan replied.
"I'm so envious, I knew it so long ago." Nie Yuan said.
"What about you? When did you find out? Xia Ziyan asked Nie Yuandao rhetorically.
"She told me not so long ago." Nie Yuan replied.
"Ah~ I'm so envious, she told you it herself, I heard it from other people's mouths." Xia Ziyan said.
The two of them envy each other like this, which only adds to the sadness of the two of them. On the other side, Qiu Luoxue and Xia Zimo were still laughing happily, and their world was still happy.
"I suddenly feel very sad, do you want to go for a drink?" Xia Ziyan invited Nie Yuandao.
"I might have more than one drink." Nie Yuan said.
In this way, because of the autumn snow, Xia Ziyan and Nie Yuan became drinking friends. Before, although they were not strangers, there was still no such thing as sitting alone drinking together. Maybe it's because I like the same person, or maybe it's because the two are in the same situation, in short, two lonely hearts are leaning together.
Xia Zimo and Qiu Luoxue have been together for a long time, and they naturally don't think of how sad Xia Ziyan and Nie Yuan are now, happy people always feel that everyone in the world should be happy.
Of course, in addition to Xia Ziyan and Nie Yuan's accident, there is another person who is sad. That was Jiang Guifei, seeing that it was already dusk, she was still standing outside the palace waiting for Xia Zimo's summons, but there was no news. The sun set to the west, dragging her shadow for a long time, and as the sun moved a little bit in the sky, the golden rays slowly disappeared from above the palace, casting a black curtain. Until the last rays of the sun also disappeared from the walls of the palace, and night finally came.
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Guifei looked at the Qilong Hall with longing eyes, and suddenly a voice came from behind her.
She was too familiar with this voice, so she quickly turned around and looked, and sure enough, Xia Zimo was standing behind her, and Concubine Jiang immediately knelt down and said, "The concubine is the emperor." ”
Xia Zimo, who returned to the palace, didn't have the smiling face he had when he was with Qiu Luoxue, his face didn't have any happy breath, it was more cold, and when he saw Jiang Guifei, his attitude was even worse. Why? Because she is Jiang Shilian's daughter.
"On your father's orders again, to find out my whereabouts?" Xia Zimo asked coldly.
"The concubine doesn't dare." Jiang Guifei said immediately.
"I don't think there's anything you don't dare." Xia Zimo looked at Jiang Guifei and said, but he quickly looked away, showed an impatient posture, and said, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk about you, you can go back." After speaking, Xia Zimo moved and left.
Concubine Jiang immediately stood up and said, "The identity of Prime Minister Qiu, the concubine already knows. ”
Jiang Guifei's mouth mentioned Qiu Luoxue, which made Xia Zimo very concerned, he stopped, looked back at Jiang Guifei and said, "So what?" I warn you not to hit her attention, otherwise, I will not let you go if you are anyone's daughter. ”
"The concubine didn't dare. The concubine knew that His Majesty loved Prime Minister Qiu very much, and would not hit her attention. It's just that the concubine thinks ......"
Concubine Jiang Guifei paused as she spoke, and then said: "The concubine thinks that since Prime Minister Qiu is a woman, and now she has announced her identity as a woman to the world, it is no longer appropriate to wear men's clothes in the court, so it is better to order the Garment Bureau to make a set of court clothes for Prime Minister Qiu, so that it can also show her unique identity." Moreover, it is not appropriate to pass on men's clothes outside the court, women have a love for beauty, presumably Prime Minister Qiu also wants to wear women's clothes, just for the sake of Daqin's country, she has been wronging herself, and I hope that Your Majesty will allow her to wear women's clothes in the future. ”
Jiang Guifei's sudden overture made Xia Zimo a little confused, he wasn't sure what Jiang Guifei was paying attention to. It's just that her words are reasonable, and he also wants to see the scene of Qiu Luoxue wearing women's clothes. So he said: "I will take care of this matter, you manage the harem well, and don't worry about other things." ”
"The concubine obeys." Jiang Guifei said very obediently, and said with a decent smile: "There are many fine cloths rewarded by His Majesty in the palace of the concubines, and they have already sent someone to make clothes according to the size of Prime Minister Qiu, and when they are done, they will be sent to His Majesty's palace, and I hope that His Majesty will transfer them to Prime Minister Qiu." ”
It's just that Concubine Jiang waited for Xia Zimo outside the palace for an afternoon, is this for this? Of course not, she has her own purpose. Concubine Jiang is a smart woman, she knows when to do something, and she also knows who to please.
Time passed little by little, Xia Zimo dealt with government affairs for a while, and he always recalled Qiu Luoxue's appearance in his mind, he remembered that he still didn't ask Qiu Luoxue, so he secretly ran from the tunnel to see Qiu Luoxue.
Qiu Luoxue heard a knock on the door in the room and hurriedly opened it, and asked in surprise after seeing Xia Zimo, "Why are you here?" Aren't you going back to deal with government affairs? ”
"I have a question for you." Xia Zimo blurted out his debut.
He was so direct that Qiu Luoxue was a little uncomfortable, but he still said: "What question do you have to ask in the middle of the night?" Just ask. ”
With Qiu Luoxue's permission, Xia Zimo didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly: "You...... Would you like to be my queen? ”
Hearing this question, a smile slowly appeared on Qiu Luoxue's face, it seemed that Xia Zimo was really eager to know this question, and she replied shyly: "Yes." ”
