Chapter 46: Candle Tears (24)

"Nian Nian."

Mei Yan got up and walked to Bu Niannian's side, stretched out a hand to touch her, but when she was about to touch Bu Niannian's shoulder, she paused upwards and didn't fall for a long time.

Bu Niannian didn't look up at Mei Yan, and said calmly: "Sister Mei, he is the emperor, you are a concubine, there is nothing wrong with you." I'm not angry either, I just wanted to ask you a question. ”

Mei Yan: "You ask." ”

Qing Yu saw that the atmosphere was a little tense, and said softly: "Nian Nian, the dishes are almost cold, if there is any problem, let's talk about it after eating." ”

"I'll just have one question, soon." Bu Niannian raised his head and smiled at Qing Yu, and Qing Yu saw Bu Niannian's expression clearly.

Her eyes were red, and the smile that was barely on her face looked extremely incongruous, and the bitterness that was forcibly suppressed in her heart escaped, Qing Yu felt that the light under Bu Niannian's eyes in the past had become very dim.

"Sister Mei, does this incident at my birthday banquet have anything to do with you?" Bu Niannian looked at Mei Yan quietly, "I want to hear the truth." ”

Mei Yanyin was stunned for a moment, a trace of entanglement appeared in her eyes, and then she smiled self-deprecatingly: "If you say that it has nothing to do with me, you won't believe it." ”

"I believe it, you say it has nothing to do with you, I believe that you have also fallen into a trap."

Mei Yan was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Nian Nian, this matter may really be caused by me." One night a few months ago, I made a wish. I hope that the emperor can look at me so gently, even if it is a one-night favor, he is willing to give everything I have to exchange. When I opened my eyes again after making a wish, there was a letter on the table with a sentence in it. If you know your will, you will get what you want. I didn't tell anyone at the time, because I knew that the emperor would never be able to look at me so gently. ”

As she spoke, tears crossed the corners of Mei Yan's eyes, and she smiled self-deprecatingly: "But Niannian, although I know it's impossible, I still have delusions." Because I'm jealous that you got the emperor's heart, jealous that you got the tenderness I haven't got, and jealous that the emperor canceled the election for your harem. We entered the palace at the same time, and I was seen by the emperor first, but you got everything I couldn't get. I'm not a saint, so when that letter came out, I kept secretly praying in my heart that it would come true. Later......"

"And then it happened." Bu Niannian smiled clearly, and asked, "Sister Mei, who sent that letter, have you investigated thoroughly." ”

Mei Yan shook her head, "I didn't find out the results, no one came to Changle Palace that night, and I also carefully interrogated the palace people, and they didn't do it." ”

Bu Niannian looked at the chopsticks in front of him thoughtfully, and said to himself: "That's it." ”

Seeing that the two were still planning to continue chatting, Qing Yu said loudly: "Okay, the dish should really be cold." ”

In the evening, Bu Niannian told Gu Xiang about the day in Weiyang Palace, and she always felt that this matter did not seem to be so simple.

Gu Xiang grabbed Bu Niannian's hand tightly, looked at her with a pair of big eyes, and his voice trembled a little: "Niannian, are you really not angry?" ”

Bu Niannian gave Gu Xiang a roll of his eyes very directly when he heard this, but he didn't break away from the hand Gu Xiang was holding, and asked coldly: "I said so much, you listened to this?" ”

Gu Xiang immediately expressed his loyalty, and said dog-leggedly: "Don't worry, I will catch the person behind the scenes and personally escort him to make amends for you." ”

"Okay."

"By the way, I have something I want to discuss with you." Gu Xiang said: "In previous years, there have been ministers who have written to persuade me to tour the south, but there is no one in the court, and I can't leave. Now that the crown prince has been decided, I am much more relaxed. You've been in the palace for so many years, do you want to go out for a walk. ”

Bu Niannian came to the spirit at once, if Qingyu was present, he would find that the fire under Bu Niannian's eyes was burning again. She said excitedly, "Where to go?" How long to go? When does the trip depart? ”

Gu Xiang: "We set off from the waterway and walked in the direction of Suzhou, and it is estimated that it will take a month or two. It is tentatively scheduled for autumn, and the specific departure date has not yet been decided. There's still half a year, don't get excited. ”

Autumn starts, it's only spring, and there are still a few months to go.

Bu Niannian was suddenly deflated, wilted, and sighed with a deep regret: "I have to wait for half a year." ”

Gu Xiang touched Bu Niannian's head, the corners of his crooked mouth were full of honey, and he said softly: "Half a year is very soon, if you really can't wait, after a few days, when the government affairs are relaxed, we will go to Shengjing City for a walk." ”

Bu Niannian nodded: "Okay." ”

After that day, Bu Niannian and Mei Yan rarely met, Bu Niannian no longer went to Changle Palace, and Mei Yan did not come to Yong'an Palace, but sometimes they met at Qingyu's place, and they couldn't see each other a few times in a month.

Bu Niannian always felt that there was a pimple in her heart, if Mei Yan had opened up with her earlier, she would not have reached such a point. Gu Xiang is in the emperor's house, and it is not an exaggeration to have three thousand beauties in the harem, so she never cares if a woman appears on Gu Xiang's bed.

But that day was her birthday full of expectations, but she got such a thrilling birthday gift, she will never forget it in her life.

Mei Yan probably knew it, so she didn't take the initiative to come to her again.

She didn't take the initiative to find Mei Yan, and Mei Yan didn't take the initiative to come to her, and Bu Niannian felt clean in her heart. But this peace was broken in early summer, Mei Yan became pregnant, this is Gu Xiang's first child after ascending the throne.

Bu Niannian told herself that she would not have a child, but Gu Xiang's vein could not be broken here, so this child came at the right time.

The Changle Palace, which was quiet in the past, became lively, and all the important people in the palace came, and the door was like a city.

Mei Yan's fetus was not stable, so she told Gu Xiang after three months that she was leaning on the bed to deal with the people who came to visit. Compared with three months ago, Bu Niannian found that she had become thinner, her face was pale and pale, there was no trace of blood on her lips, and there was a faint dark blue under her eyes.

Seeing her coming, Mei Yan was stunned for a moment, a touch of excitement appeared in her eyes, and she was about to get out of bed. Bu Niannian hurriedly walked to her side and sat down on the stool next to the bed, Qingyu saw her coming, so she got up and beckoned the people in the house to go outside.

Mei Yan stretched out her hand and gently touched Bu Niannian, tears fell on the quilt, and she choked up and said, "Niannian, I thought you wouldn't come." ”

Bu Niannian sighed helplessly, wiped away Mei Yan's tears, and said softly: "Pregnant women must remember not to be happy and sad, you are not in good health now, and you must be well raised, you must not cry." ”

"Nian Nian."

Bu Niannian: "Sister Mei, you have to be good, I want to be the godmother of this child, and watch him grow up safely and smoothly." When I'm old, let him bring his daughter-in-law to greet me. ”

Mei Yan heard Bu Niannian say this, a smile finally appeared on her face, she took Bu Niannian's hand and said firmly: "I must be good, bring him to this world and let him call you godmother." ”
