Changyun didn't feel at all about me leaving these days, as if I was just going around the palace city, and everything was naturally connected together, without the slightest sense of disobedience.

"On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, the gifts sent by the palaces have been counted and put into the warehouse, and the rewards for the palaces have also been prepared.

I've never asked about these things, and I've just nodded and dealt with them.

"The emperor said that he would come tonight, and the slave maid asked the small kitchen to prepare a few dishes, does the mother have anything you want to eat? Let the kitchenette be ready. ”

I thought for a moment and said, "If you don't want to eat anything, let's prepare a bowl of sweet porridge." Then, I remembered a little more and asked, "Today is not the first day of the new year, nor is it the fifteenth, why is the emperor coming?" ”

Changyun smiled when he heard this, sorted out my clothes and hung them aside, and smiled: "Does the emperor still need to pick a time to go to the queen's palace?" ”

…… Indeed, it is his freedom to go to whoever Jiang Yao wants, but I have always been unfriendly with him, and I am so disgusted when I see me on weekdays, if I have no choice, why do I have to rush to find myself uncomfortable?

Pei'er came in and instructed the palace people to sort out the things brought from the mansion, and I instantly had the answer: It's nothing more than for our Rong family, even if it is not to give my father face, but also to test what actions or other meanings there are in my family, after all, I am the daughter of the Rong family, and I can best represent the attitude of the entire family.

But fortunately, Jiang Yao didn't come suddenly, he gave me most of the day to prepare, and I kept wandering around what my eldest brother said in my head, and I really didn't have time to care about anything else for a while.

Changyun still didn't have anything to say, calmly handling the affairs of the palace, I asked her if anyone had been here recently, Changyun thought for a while, and said: "Su Meiren came once, and I was a little disappointed to learn that Niangniang returned to the mansion, and there was no one else." ”

"Oh......!" I replied absentmindedly.

I couldn't help but think of what happened before I left the palace, and I don't know if the dispute between Zhao Fei and Wenle had any results. I don't know, does Zhao Fei have a grudge against me because of this, if I really have a dislike for this, how should I face her in the future?

I was a little sleepy, lying on the bed with my arms on my pillow, I just wanted to take a little rest, but I didn't expect to actually fall asleep.

When Jiang Yao came, the night had just spread out, the sky was not airtight black, it was slightly blue, and the stars were shining, like an incomparably beautiful picture.

It's rare that Jiang Yao didn't let people carry so many twists and turns, only a few of them, thinking about it is a more important matter, maybe it is more tricky, these alone are enough to make people think hard.

Even if I was a little curious in my heart, I also knew that this was not something I should ask, and I only didn't dare to make a mistake according to the etiquette that Changyun taught me in the past, Jiang Yao didn't move his eyelids, raised his hand slightly, and impatiently told me to shut up.

I sat on one side and drank tea in a regular manner, picking up the cup and putting it down gently, so as to minimize my sense of existence and save Jiang Yao from finding trouble with me.

"The queen seems to be in a good mood." Jiang Yao showed two eyes from the fold in his hand, which were light and light, without the indifference and harshness that rejected people thousands of miles away.

"Yes." I said this on my lips, but I didn't think so in my heart, I didn't have any expression on my face, where can I see that I am in a good mood?

"Here you go." Jiang Yao put down the fold and motioned for me to come over.

Puzzled, not knowing what he was going to do or whether I had done anything that made him unhappy, I walked over and sat down on his knees in front of his desk.

The bookcase was so low that it was almost negligible, and my movements were unreservedly displayed in Jiang Yao's eyes, and Jiang Yao's figure also occupied my peripheral vision, and it seemed that I could still hear his faint breathing, and the fragrance of his gestures peeking out of his clothes.

The kind of fragrant and warm, like a tree that has been fully illuminated by the sun, with the freshness of the grass and the warmth of the sun, faint and refreshing, makes people want to pounce on it and suck it hard, that sense of security and attractiveness.

Jiang Yao's fingers ran along my cheeks, from my forehead to my chin, his fingers hooked, and his face crashed into my eyes so defenselessly.

I admit that Jiang Yao is very good-looking, and when he stood under the moonlit Bodhi tree, I only thought he was a young man full of aura, crystal clear and unstained. However, the boy who slayed the dragon eventually became an evil dragon, and the boy who was like a god was only a glimpse of my day after all, from the moment his eyes fell on me, I should have known that the gentleness of some people is the moonlight that you can't get in your life.

But I still blushed irrepressibly, and in the silence around me, I could clearly hear my heartbeat, not because I had other thoughts about him, but simply felt that getting close to a man under such an ambiguous action should have been a very good memory, but the kind of beauty I wanted was something that Jiang Yao couldn't give me.

This always reminds me of Yujing, if it weren't for the sudden change, the person who was with me at this moment would be him, and he would not have made me feel as restrained as I am now, nor would I be so unspeakably embarrassed as I am now.

Jiang Yao chuckled, the warm breath brushed my face lightly, his face has never been so clearly reflected in my eyes, I can even see the growth direction of each of his heroic eyebrows, I can see his slightly curled eyelashes, and the faint cyan under the lower eyelids, there is a little red blood in the black and white eyes, his rest time is very short, but it is commendable that he does not show the slightest tiredness on his face.

Jiang Yao was an impeccable king, the famine that the first emperor had when he was in his hands was properly solved, there were no refugees from the south to pour into the capital, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and everything in the market and merchants was in order.

He didn't rely on anyone to get his current position, when the first emperor was critically ill, the small border countries intended to invade, but he also personally put on armor and got on the horse, and turned the tide, this battle played the majesty of the dynasty, and also let the first emperor find a satisfactory heir among the many princes, and since then there has been no four-sided Fanbang with an aggressive heart.

From his glorious past, quickly bringing the world back to reality, Jiang Yao's eyes fell straight on me, and the ripples rippled in the clear waves, which was a bit self-evidently sultry.

I didn't know what he was going to do, so I lowered my head and tried to quietly snatch my chin back from his fingers, but he didn't let go, and said, "My queen is really beautiful, no wonder even King Jing, who prides himself on being high, can't forget it." ”

I can't control my nervousness, I can't keep those expressions out of my face, I know what he's talking about, but I can't justify myself, because this kind of unwarranted thing is going to be darker and darker, the clear is clear, and the turbid is turbid, it's just whether the person who sees the trial believes it or not.

Since ancient times, it has been a red face and a disaster, where is there the mediocrity of monarchs and ministers?

Jiang Yao rarely didn't get angry with me because of this, and his expression was indifferent, as if he didn't care about this matter at all.

"I have approved the marriage of King Jing and Rong Lan, and the wedding date is set in two months, I don't know if Chengguo Gong can be satisfied, his children are all over the court, and they almost surround me."

"The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, no matter how much you bother, it is just to please the king and protect the emperor's kindness to the Rong family."

I don't know where I got the courage to say these words so calmly and calmly, without being humble or arrogant.

Jiang Yao didn't seem to expect me to say this, and there was a slight surprise in his dark eyes, but these things were just a flash, so fast that it seemed to be my own illusion.

"The Rong family can have such an enlightenment, but it is the luck of the country and the blessing of the people." Jiang Yao regained his initiative and didn't get confused because of my words, "It's just that I'm a little curious, what happened to the queen when she returned to the mansion, how did she change her previous image, but who did she meet and what she heard, and she had a clear heart, and she understood it at one point?" ”

What he said was very uncomfortable, and I knew that he was very dissatisfied with my previous behavior, and these dissatisfactions not only included resistance to my identity, but also shamelessness in my pretending to be stupid.

"Don't dare, for a long time, if you are blessed by the gods, even if you have discomfort, it will disappear." I regretted it a little after I finished speaking, although there was nothing wrong with these words, but there was more or less contradiction, I don't know what happened today, those words that should have been hidden in the stomach, now they are like beads with broken threads.

"You keep saying that you are gods, how much do you believe in your heart?" A trace of sadness flashed in Jiang Yao's unstoppable eyes, I don't know what touched his heart and allowed him to set off such a big emotional swing, but I know that when I saw his expression like this, I felt guilty in my heart out of nowhere, and it was so full that I almost wanted to explode.

I don't hate him, and I don't want him to feel sorry for me, I reached out and wanted to touch his face, but my fingers ran through his cheeks, and his figure gradually dissipated in front of me.

Lost, panicked...... It seems that Jiang Yao is really going to disappear from this world.

"Don't ......" my mouth moved, but I couldn't make a sound, I waved my hands desperately, but I could only watch in vain as he became more and more penetrating, this is a dream, I know very well in my mind now, but even if I know that this is just a dream, the huge sadness that swept over the sense of loss, the tears that can't stop flowing out of my eyes, wet and cold, and the helplessness in my heart turned into a frequent sigh.

"...... Empress......? ”

In a trance, I felt that someone was calling out to me softly, and someone pushed my arm twice, I slowly opened my eyes, and the crumpled picture in front of me gradually became clear from blur.

It was Pei'er, with a smile on her face, pointing to her eyes and saying, "What did Niangniang dream?" Why are you still crying? ”

I wiped the corners of my eyes, but I didn't expect the dream to be fake, but the tears were real.

I smiled and said, "I remember it very clearly, but I can't remember it at all when you asked." ”

Pei'er didn't continue to ask, while helping me up, while talking about her interesting experience of dreaming: "The slave maid also encountered such a thing, at that time I was still in the mansion, I dreamed that the yin was a fireworks March, the spring breeze was a warm day, the sky was high and the wind was clear, it was very beautiful, but I don't know why it snowed, and even the eaves of the daisy roof turned white, and the slave maid washed the clothes and dried them out, and she didn't care about anything else, so she ran out to collect it, and the mother was only eleven or twelve years old at that time, holding a large handful of verdant reed leaves in her arms, The smile was so charming and good-looking, even the snow that fell on the body was soft, and it didn't make people feel cold at all. ”

Saying that, Pei'er was stunned for a moment, seemed to have some doubts, and said: "The scene I saw that day was too unreal, and the slave maid always thought it was a dream, but it seemed to be true, but I don't remember it very really." ”

I also followed Peel's thoughts back for a while, and I didn't find a fragment of catkins flying in Pee's mouth in my memory, nor did I remember when I hugged a large reed leaf, and I knew that since I fell into the water, I rarely approached the pond by myself.

"It must have been your dream, I don't remember it."

"That's a slave dreaming." Pei'er didn't think much about it, and put a few plates of delicate snacks in front of me: "It's good to wait for dinner, let's eat some pastries first." ”

I looked out the window, I don't know how long I slept, the sky outside was already dark, remembering that Changyun said that Jiang Yao would come tonight, I couldn't tell the difference between the dream and the reality.

The sense of reality that seemed to have just met him, and the helplessness of sadness running over and over again, were all hooked up at this moment.

Jiang Yao usually comes after dinner, except when he is with the Queen Mother, he never eats with me alone, and I also end up clean, thanks to our blind eyes and minds, these days in the palace, not only has the clothes and belts gradually widened, but also a little emaciated, and even raised a little rounded, and more and more wide and fat.

Pei'er said that I was too thin before, but now I look just right, slender and beautiful, like Concubine Chen, what is the point of seeing the sick Xi Shi?

Changyun heard it and said, "Don't talk about concubines in private." ”

Pei'er knew that Changyun would not punish her for this, so she stuck out her tongue with a smile and obediently closed her mouth.

After I ate, I sat next to the charcoal fire with the hand stove and waited for Jiang Yao to come, but I waited for a long time, and I didn't hear the slightest movement from outside the palace.

Changyun was obviously unmoved, as always, doing her own thing according to the usual routine, and Jiang Yao couldn't touch her rules in the slightest whether she came or not.

"Changyun ......" I looked at the scorching carbon fire, and I fell into a daze, "Who has been ...... this afternoon?" ”

Changyun shook his head and said with a smile: "Niangniang slept for a long time, no one came during the period, if there is, I will definitely inform Niangniang." ”

I'm a little confused, if it's really my dream, why hasn't Jiang Yao come yet, this is very inconsistent with his usual style.

But dreams are also a reflection of reality, and I should really think about it, if Jiang Yao suddenly attacks me and asks some tricky and weird questions, how can I respond so that I can get out of it?

Maybe it's because I slept a little long in the afternoon, and I didn't feel the slightest sleepiness when I watched the lights almost burn out.

Jiang Yao came in, with the appearance of my dream, it seemed that he was not so unpleasant, I got up and saluted in a proper manner, he nodded absentmindedly, and I got up.

Unlike in the dream, he still has so many twists and turns that I don't know how many things he has to deal with every day, and it gives me a headache just to see it.

I sat down on my knees after serving the tea, and this will not change whether it is in my dream or in reality.

Jiang Yao didn't have anything to say, he lowered his head to deal with things, occasionally frowned a few times, and his thoughts were only silently pressed in his heart, and he never showed too much.

I have never been so energetic, even Jiang Yao yawned a few times, I was still in a daze, even if I didn't say anything, the whole person was full of energy.

"Your Majesty, it's time to rest."

The father-in-law who was accompanying Jiang Yao added another lamp to him, looking at the age, it seemed that he had served since he was a child, and Jiang Yao could listen to it to some extent.

"Okay, let the Ministry of Industry stay after the cloudy morning." As he spoke, Jiang Yao closed the fold and stood up.

Jiang Yao was a little surprised when he saw me still sitting on the side, but he didn't say anything at all.

He usually rested in the study, and I occupied the whole dormitory in a big way, but I still didn't feel sleepy, and I dragged it out until the second half of the night before I fell asleep groggy.
