Chapter 36: Candle Tears (14)
The impact of Gu Xiang's words that day was so huge that Bu Niannian didn't react to what it meant for a long time, and when she came back to her senses, Gu Xiang had already returned to Qianyuan Hall to deal with the government.
In the end, Bu Niannian decided to be blind, pretend to be deaf and dumb, and forget it.
The days passed like water, and in the blink of an eye, the snow whitened the maple garden, and soon the flowers of the imperial garden were in full bloom, the cicadas quietly sounded, and the breeze carried the fragrance of lotus flowers to every corner of the palace, and midsummer had arrived. At some point, the scorching heat of midsummer stained the maple garden, and soon a heavy snow covered everything.
Autumn goes to spring, summer and winter, time is fleeting, and it has taken away two spring and autumn.
Because of Gu Xiang's relationship, Bu Niannian was forced to change his schedule in the past two years, and reluctantly gave up the opportunity to climb over the wall and leave the palace.
If so, there is only one answer.
Gu Xiang lived a life of two points and one line, either dealing with government affairs in the Qianyuan Palace or staring at Bu Niannian in the Yong'an Palace. Even though he could clearly see that Bu Niannian still didn't like him, he was helpless about these things because of his status as emperor.
But Gu Xiang felt that what did it matter, some people, even just looking at her, were already very good.
Moreover, Gu Xiang could feel that in the past few years, Bu Niannian seemed to have been struggling with something, and he could often see the obvious contradictions and entanglements in her eyes.
And she didn't say, and he didn't ask.
He didn't want to force her, it was his luck to wait for him in this life, and he couldn't wait, and it was also his luck to be by her side all these years.
On the other side, Bu Niannian felt that he had fallen into a dead place, with a gentle trap filled with honey in front of him, and an abyss surrounded by clouds and mist behind him, and he was in a dilemma. She had to admit that Gu Xiang's practice of boiling frogs in warm water had been very successful in the past few years, and her frog could no longer jump out of the shallow edge of the pot.
However, do you really have to take such a big risk to try such a thing that can be seen at a glance?
Bu Niannian kept telling himself every day that the revenge of the extermination of the clan had not been avenged, and he could not take risks, and he must not take risks. That sentence is really right, love is better than arsenic for her.
On this day, Gu Xiang uncharacteristically did not go to Yong'an Palace after dealing with government affairs, he led the official flag and buried the two of them in the treasury of the Internal Affairs Mansion and worked all afternoon.
"Guanqi, what do you think of this?" Gu Xiang carefully looked at the red gold bracelet in his hand, thousands of gold threads were wound into a small bracelet, which was inlaid with several rubies, exuding an attractive color through the sun.
Guan Qi pondered and replied: "The slave thinks that this red gold bracelet is extremely luxurious, and the mother will definitely like it." ”
Gu Xiang nodded with satisfaction, and instructed the head of the Internal Affairs Office behind him: "Take this and take good care of it." ”
The head of the Internal Affairs Office held a thick account book in his hand, and as soon as Gu Xiang finished speaking, he quickly wrote on it: a pair of red gold silk ruby bracelets. Looking up, the big page was already full of all kinds of things, gold and silver jewelry, jade brocade, and so on.
The head of the Internal Affairs Office wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and every time he made a stroke on it, his heart was cut with a knife, and now he was bleeding like a river. Looking at the palace, only Ying Zhaoyi in Yong'an Palace is so favored, just a birthday, let the emperor do it so personally. I have to quickly inform the other departments in the palace, maybe the emperor will go tomorrow, and they should also experience his heartache.
The manager thought back to last year very seriously, as if Ying Zhaoyi's birthday was not like this, and it was just that Yong'an Palace asked the imperial dining room to make a few more dishes that Ying Zhaoyi loved to eat every day.
What the chief manager didn't know was that Bu Niannian didn't let Gu Xiang do anything last year, and Gu Xiang didn't beat her. This year, Gu Xiang said that he would not agree to anything, and started to prepare a few months in advance, and promised Bu Niannian dupliously not to make any other arrangements like last year.
As the sun set, Gu Xiang left with the official flag satisfied, and the head of the Internal Affairs Office leaned on the door frame and held the account book in his arms tightly, his heart was not painful, because he was already numb.
Sure enough, as expected by the head of the Internal Affairs Office, Gu Xiang went to the imperial dining room the next day, and stayed for many afternoons in a row, after which the head of the imperial dining room he saw shrank by one-half.
In the Shengjing Palace, Gu Xiang made the palace jump for Bu Niannian's birthday, and also ordered that these things should not be spread, otherwise it would be a warning to cut off the head. The people in the palace were angry in their hearts, and they always had smiles on their faces, and they all felt as if they had grown a lot of faces for a while.
Somewhere in the mountains of the world
"Gu Xiaoqi, can you do it? If I don't come up again, I'll leave. Mu Yi squatted at the edge of a bottomless cave in red, shouting into the hole. After speaking, seeing that there was no reaction inside, he sighed helplessly, picked up the black cat who was combing beside him and said, "Coal, go down and bring him up for me." ”
Coal looked at the hair that had just been cleaned, broke away from Mu Yi's hand, and ran into the distance and screamed: Lao Yi, why are you so ruthless, no, you have no heart.
At this time, a very long cry came from the cave of the ground: "I can do it, I can do it, don't go, wait for me." ”
"Okay, hurry up." After Mu Yi finished speaking towards the entrance of the cave, he walked to the foot of the tree next to him and sat down, pinching the corners of his eyes a little tiredly.
At this time, a man jumped from the tree next to him, dressed in white, and he didn't like the fallen leaves in the forest, and sat down directly beside Mu Yi: "Tired? ”
Mu Yi shook his head and didn't speak, staring at the dark depths of the forest, and said for a while: "Lord Qi, let's go back to Shengjing tomorrow." ”
Qi Xuan was stunned: "Don't look for it?" ”
"I suddenly understood that the Jade Shark clan had died out thousands of years ago and had become the everlasting jade candle in the thousands of royal tombs in the world. And I have searched all the imperial tombs in the world in the past few years, but I have not found what I am looking for. Don't you always say that the time has not yet come, and the opportunity has not yet appeared, so all I can do now is wait. Mu Yi said slowly: "Xiao Qi is not young anymore, he is the king of Xichu, he can't always wander outside, it's time to go back and learn other things." ”
As soon as Mu Yi finished speaking, a black head appeared at the mouth of the hole not far away, covered with dirt and dust, and mixed with a few dead grasses.
Gu Duan struggled to crawl out of the hole, brushed away the withered grass that covered his vision with his mud paws, and said in horror: "What else do I want to learn?" ”
It's no wonder that Gu Duan is exaggerating, mainly in the past few years, as long as Mu Yiyi says that he wants to learn something new, then for the next period of time, he always feels that the eighteenth layer of hell is nothing more than that. Especially just now when he had just climbed up from a hundred-meter-deep hole, he heard that he should learn something else, and he was so frightened that he almost returned to the origin of the hundred-meter-deep as soon as he let go of his hand, and stayed with those ancestors completely.
Mu Yi walked up to Gu Duan, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Qi, we will leave for Shengjing tomorrow." ”
The expression on Gu Duan's face froze, and he froze in place, unable to tell whether he was happy or sad for a while.
Obviously there is no need to be forced to learn new things, obviously he has been thinking about returning to shengjing for the past few years, and he should be jumping and jumping happily now. But just now, when Mu Yi told him that he wanted to go back, a trace of sadness suddenly flashed in his heart, going back, does it mean that Lord Qi is leaving, and Sister Huang is also leaving.
