Chapter 202: No Regrets
He reached out and took the fruit from his lips.
Jiang Sumo's eyes fell with a touch of loss.
In the next moment, I saw Yun Rongjue put the fruit in his hand directly on the porcelain plate containing the peel on the side.
Jiang Sumo's breathing suddenly became heavy, and his throat choked slightly.
"There has been some gossip in the palace recently, I don't know if the queen has heard of it." After a moment, Yun Rongjue suddenly spoke.
Jiang Sumo wiped the loss on his face, and his face was re-tender, "I don't know what the emperor said?" ”
"Some people seem to be dissatisfied with which palace I went to stay overnight." Yun Rongjue spoke slowly.
Jiang Sumo's eyes froze. But he quickly put away his emotions and chuckled, "How come, the emperor is the honor of the Ninety-Five, where to stay, it all depends on the emperor's will, how dare others say anything nonsense." ”
Yun Rongjue stared at the scroll in his hand, "Two days ago, in the future queen's palace, the queen ......"
"Your Majesty, the concubines have no complaints."
Without waiting for Yun Rongjue to finish speaking, Jiang Sumo hurriedly cleared his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, there are many people in the palace, and there are many mouths, some people don't know how to control it, and they gossip a lot, and the concubines are not strictly controlled, and the concubines will definitely pay attention to it in the future." ”
Yun Rongjue was silent for a moment, then closed the scroll and stood up, "In this case, the queen should discipline well, don't let me down." ”
Jiang Sumo breathed a sigh of relief, "The concubine understands that she will not disappoint the emperor." There was a deep thread in her eyes.

Shu Wangfu.
Yun Huang and He Baoqi shared dinner, and they didn't talk much about each other, almost every day. Although He Baoqi has emotions, he is also used to it. At least he could stay in her courtyard all the time, which was hard to find.
"Princess, in some time, this king will go out to the far door, up and down the house, and Princess Lao will take care of it." Yun Huang said in a loud voice.
He Baoqi was stunned, the news was too sudden, "Where is the prince going?" ”
Yun Huang did not hide it, and said that he was going to go out to crusade against the remnants of the White Riding Sect.
He Baoqi's face changed after hearing this, "The prince wants to crusade against those remnants?" It's dangerous! ”
She has heard of the White Vehicle, those people are some outlaws, after the White Vehicle, after the White Vehicle, those who failed to get rid of the evil party are outside, these evil parties are even more terrible, they are bent on recovering the White Vehicle, it is even more ferocious!
Yunhuang pale: "This king knows that the remnants of the Baicheng Sect are outside, and the people are not at peace, and this king is doing this for the emperor's brother and for the sake of Da Liang." ”
"But ......"
"Okay, the king has already told the royal brother about this matter, and the imperial brother has agreed, and it is useless for the princess to say more."
He Baoqi breathed heavily, and after a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "That...... When will the prince leave? ”
"If it's fast, it's three days, and if it's slow, it's five or six days."
He Baoqi sighed lightly, "Okay, then...... The concubine prepared some outfits for the prince, although it was a crusade against the thieves, but the basic outfit was always required. ”
"I'm tired of the princess."
Late at night, Yunhuang stayed in He Baoqi's room, and after he fell asleep, He Baoqi got up and packed his bags for him.
Early the next morning. He Baoqi didn't see anyone around her when she got up, she called the girl and asked, only to know that Yunhuang woke up early in the morning and left, and was now in Lin Zhao'er's courtyard.
"Why did the prince go to her courtyard early in the morning?"
The maid replied: "The prince got up in the morning to practice swords in the courtyard, and then Lin Niangzi's maid came over to spread the word, saying that Lin Niangzi was feeling unwell, and the prince just passed." ”
He Baoqi lowered his eyes and did not speak for a long time.

Hall of the Dance.
The grandmother of the garment bureau sent the newly made clothes and skirts.
"Niangniang, take a look, if there is anything you are not satisfied with, let's change it."
This new dress was made by Yun Rongjue, in order to travel with her Lantern Festival.
A light blue hook gold silk shirt, and the skirt is embellished with her favorite patterns. She smiled, "It's hard work, I like the clothes very much." ”
Mama smiled, "Niangniang is polite, it's not hard to do things for Niangniang, just like Niangniang." ”
"Yuming, put your clothes away." Jiang Wu called.
Yuming stepped forward, bent down to pick up her shirt, and the moment she looked up, it happened to meet Mama's newly raised eyes.
Mama was stunned for a moment, and looked at Yuming's eyes unconsciously with a touch of surprise.
Jiang Wu saw the change in Mama's eyes, "Mama, what's wrong?" Anything else? ”
Mama retracted her gaze, "No...... It's nothing," when Yuming walked out of the hall, she couldn't help but speak, "Niangniang, is that palace maid new?" Looking at ...... It's very raw. ”
Jiang Wu bowed his head lightly, "Yes, you just came to my palace." ”
Mama glanced out and frowned.
"Mama, what's wrong? Any questions? Seeing Mama's expression, Jiang Wu asked.
Mama hurriedly replied to her emotions, shook her head, and smiled slightly, "Back to Niangniang, it's nothing, if Niangniang has no other instructions, the slave and maid will retire." ”
The Lantern Festival is coming in a blink of an eye.
Yunhuang was originally going to set off before the Lantern Festival, but Yun Rongjue was lenient and extended it for a few days, so that Yunhuang would set off again after the Lantern Festival.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, Yun Rongjue and Jiang Wu were still the same as before, changing into ordinary people's clothes and leaving the palace.
Outside the palace was lively, and the two of them walked around the street market and watched the lantern festival.
"Facing the ministers all day long, playing twists and turns, complicated court affairs, I can come out for a walk during the festival, and my mood is much soothed." Yun Rongjue led the little girl and shuttled between the crowd.
The little girl was held in one hand and ate with a string of sugar gourds in the other, "Yes, these are the lives of ordinary people, although the outside of the palace is not as prosperous as the palace, but there is another comfort." ”
Yun Rongjue smiled, "Yes, this comfort is probably the hardest to get, especially my current identity." He couldn't help but sigh.
Jiang Wu tilted his head sideways and looked at him, "Does the emperor regret it?" ”
Yun Rongjue raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at her.
"The emperor has set foot on the Ninth Five-Year Honor, and his status is noble, but under this, he will inevitably lose some, just like the freedom of ordinary people, if he doesn't set foot on this road, he will be much freer." She said.
Yun Rongjue paused, turned around, stared at her, he raised his hand lightly, touched her white little face, the corners of his thin lips were lightly pulled, and whispered: "I don't regret it." ”
He had no intention of being on the throne in the past, but later, he was forced step by step, and in the end, he became the emperor by his own will.
It is not easy to sit on the throne, but if you don't sit on this seat......
He lowered his eyes to look at the little girl in front of him, his eyes full of emotion.
If he doesn't fight, he can't protect the people he wants to protect.
It's for himself, and it's for her.
"No regrets," Jiang Wu muttered, and then, with a roll of his eyes, he pulled away the slightly heavy words, "Brother Jue will also eat one." She held the sugar gourd to his lips.
Yun Rongjue chuckled, lowered his head slightly, and bit down a bright red sugar gourd wrapped in sugar.
After Yun Rongjue ate it, Jiang Wu blinked his eyes, "Brother Jue, there is a juggler in front, let's go over and take a look." She pulled Yun Rongjue and walked towards the crowd.
The two walked to the place where the juggling was performed, and there were many people around them, and the one in the middle was performing bare-armed, holding a fire wood in both hands.
When he saw one of them, he took a deep breath on the firewood. Suddenly! A mouth, and fire came out of it!
Jiang Wu's eyes were stunned, and the people around him instantly applauded.
"Brother Jue, look, it's so powerful, he can actually spit out fire in his mouth."
Yun Rongjue smiled indulgently.
The vaudeville show was very popular, and after the performance, Yun Rongjue and Jiang Wu gave some rewards.
The crowd dispersed.
"Brother Jue, we ......"
Jiang Wu just turned around, suddenly! See the familiar faces of the crowd not far away!
Brother Shiyan!
Through the crowd, Shi Yan's eyes were burning and he looked at Jiang Wu.
Jiang Wu breathed heavily.
Brother Shiyan, he really ...... Still in Chang'an.
Jiang Wu couldn't help but think of the previous incident, and his heart was full of uneasiness.
"What's wrong?" Yun Rongjue sensed that something was wrong with her and asked softly.
Jiang Wu came back to his senses and hurriedly looked away, "It's nothing, Brother Jue, let's go." She pulled Yun Rongjue away.
After walking away, Jiang Wu looked around and didn't see Shi Yan again.
Only then did her emotions settle down.
"Where else do you want to see, sister? It's still very lively over there. Yun Rongjue pointed in the direction of the south and said.
All Jiang Wu's emotions were interrupted by Shi Yan, who suddenly appeared, and she shook her head, "Brother Jue, it's not too early, let's go back to the palace." ”
Yun Rongjue raised his eyebrows, "It's okay, I've been out for so long, I'm afraid my sister is tired." ”
The two set off for the palace.
After returning to the palace, Yun Rongjue did not go to other palaces, and stayed directly in the Spirit Dance Palace. Nine-zero look
"Xiao Wu got some sobering soup for Brother Jue, and he just drank a lot of wine, and Brother Jue can drink some after bathing." Jiang Wu said.
Yun Rongjue showed his face, Jiang Wu turned around, and walked out of the Spirit Dance Hall.
The hall was silent, and Yun Rongjue leaned on the bath bucket, his eyes closed tightly to recuperate.
After a while, I heard the door creak open.
Yun Rongjue thought it was Jiang Wu and didn't open his eyes.
The warm water poured into the bathtub, and Yun Rongjue stretched out his hand and held the hands of the people around him.
Suddenly!
Yun Rongjue opened his eyes, looked at one side, and suddenly shook off his hand!
I don't know if he threw it too hard, or what, the person fell to the ground, and the warm water splashed all over!
"The emperor forgives the sins, the emperor forgives the sins!"
Yun Rongjue wrinkled his eyebrows and was very displeased, "Who allowed you to come in!" ”
"The Emperor's Slave ......"
At this time, Jiang Wu hurriedly walked in when he heard the sound, and saw the water spilled on the ground, Yun Rongjue's face was displeased, and Yu Ming knelt aside in a slightly embarrassed manner.
"Your Majesty, what's going on." Jiang Wu hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
Yun Rongjue moved his eyes and looked at Jiang Wu, and said to the people on the side, "I said that when I was bathing, only Jiang Zhaoyi could serve, you trespassed in, so bold!" ”
"The emperor forgives the sin, the slave and maid didn't mean it, the slave and the maid really didn't mean it," Yu Ming hurriedly kowtowed, "Niangniang, the slave and maid didn't mean it, but I saw that there was no one waiting here, and Niang Niang was busy in the small kitchen again, and the slave and maid were worried that the time was long, and the water in the emperor's bath was not hot, which ...... That's when I came in and brought some hot water. I still hope that the emperor, the mother is gracious. ”
Yun Rongjue was annoyed, Jiang Wu looked at Yu Ming's panicked and helpless appearance, and sighed lightly, "Your Majesty, she is new to the Spirit Dance Palace, many rules have not been figured out yet, and she is not interested in this matter today, the emperor will forgive her once." ”
"You get out." Yun Rongjue said coldly.
Jiang Wu glanced at Yu Ming and gestured.
Yu Ming swallowed her saliva, "Emperor Xie, Xie Niangniang." She stood up, picked up the tub, and walked slowly towards the door.
Before walking out of the inner hall, she turned her head and looked at Yun Rongjue.
The moment Yun Rongjue raised her eyes, it happened to meet her gaze.
With just one glance, Yun Rongjue's eyes shrank. When he tried to see again, the man had already walked out.
"Your Majesty, the sobering soup is also good, it's just right to drink it now." Jiang Wu said as she picked up a white towel from the side and wiped Yun Rongjue's body.
She didn't notice the emotions that surged up in Yun Rongjue's eyes in an instant.
"That palace maid is new?" He asked.
Jiang Wu dressed Yun Rongjue, and responded, "Yes." ”
"When did you bring in a new person? Aren't there enough people in the palace? He asked.
Jiang Wu said: "No, Yu Ming was that Xiao Wu saw an internal official scolding her before, she worked as an errand in several places, but she didn't do very well, she was always scolded and punished, she was quite pitiful, so Xiao Wu let her come to the Spirit Dance Palace, Xiao Nan has been teaching her these days." ”
Yun Rongjue listened, silent and did not say anything more.
——————
Fifteen years later, Yunhuang set out to crusade against the remnants of the White Vehicle.
After Yunhuang left, He Baoqi was restless every day, and he also prayed every day that Yunhuang could return safely as soon as possible.
Yun Huang was not there, she was also idle in the house, and she didn't want to face Lin Zhao'er every day, so she often entered the palace to accompany Jiang Wu.
Jiang Wu's Spirit Dance Hall is lively, in addition to He Baoqi, Gu Liangying is also a frequent visitor.
Gu Liangying chatted with them, and she couldn't do without Xiao Qijin for three or five sentences, since she got married, her spirit is much better than before she got married.
"Baoqi, there's something I want to ask you." Gu Liangying was mysterious, leaned into He Baoqi's ear, and whispered a few times.
"Why is the princess so mysterious?" Jiang Wuxiao asked.
After hearing Gu Liangying's words, He Baoqi smiled, "Princess, all her thoughts are on Lord Xiao, but princess, this pregnancy is difficult to say, and the princess can't be in a hurry." ”
Jiang Wu laughed, he didn't expect Gu Liangying to ask such a question.
"The princess and Lord Xiao have just been married, why are they in such a hurry?" Jiang Wu asked.
Gu Liangying's pink lips pursed, and his eyebrows raised, "Don't you have a sentence in Da Liang, called ...... Husband and child, now that I have a husband, I am short of a child. ”
"Princess, this matter is not in a hurry, just let it be." He Baoqi persuaded.
Gu Liangying let out a long sigh.
While the three of them were chatting, Yu Ming walked in, "Niangniang, the ginseng soup prepared for the emperor is stewed." ”
Jiang Wu got up, "Okay, I'll send it to the emperor in a while." ”
Yu Ming glanced at a few people and said, "Niangniang, you have something to talk about with Princess Shu and Mrs. Xiao, and it is still snowing outside, and the road is slippery on a snowy day. ”
Jiang Wu blinked lightly and thought.
"Xiao Wu, just let her send it, she's right, it's snowing outside now, the road is slippery on snowy days, and you're weak, so it's better to be careful." He Baoqi said.
Jiang Wu thought about it for a while, and agreed with his chin, "It's okay, then you can go." ”
Yuming owed, "The slave and maid retreated." After she finished speaking, she left the Spirit Dance Hall with the ginseng soup.
Yu Ming came to the Heart Nourishing Hall with the ginseng soup.
"Father-in-law, this is the ginseng soup that Jiang Zhaoyi asked the slave to send to the emperor." She said.
The waiter reached out and was about to take the ginseng soup in her hand, "Leave it to me." ”
Yuming took a step back and said in a loud voice: "Father-in-law, this ginseng soup was specially prepared by Zhaoyi Niangniang for the emperor, Niangniang said, and the slave maid should be sent to the emperor in person, so that you can rest assured, and I hope that my father-in-law will understand." ”
Although the waiter hesitated, it was not good to say anything more after hearing this.
After all, everyone in the palace knows that the emperor's favorite is Jiang Zhaoyi.
"Alright, you can go inside."
Yu Ming bowed her head and walked in with her things.
In the hall, Yun Rongjue reviewed the folds, although he lowered his head and lowered his eyes, the two frowning sword eyebrows above his eyes could clearly show his emotions at the moment.
Yu Ming walked cautiously to Yun Rongjue's side, "Your Majesty." ”
"Didn't you say, don't bother me! Is it because you don't understand the words? His voice was cold, with a hint of anger.
When the words fell, he raised his head, and when he saw the person in front of him clearly, the sword eyebrows frowned deeper, "Why are you." ”
Yuming put down the ginseng soup, "Your Majesty, the slave maid is on the order of Zhaoyi Niangniang to send ginseng soup to the emperor, ginseng soup replenishes qi, the emperor works hard for state affairs, and drinking some ginseng soup is good for the body." ”
Yun Rongjue stared at Yu Ming, with a touch of complexity in his eyes.
"I heard Jiang Zhaoyi say, you are new to the Spirit Dance Palace, which palace did you work in the past?"
Yu Ming's eyes rolled, and a glimmer of light crossed her eyes, "Back to the emperor, the slave maid used to be an errand in the Huanyi Bureau, and she also worked as an errand in the flower room. ”
"What's your name?"
"Back to the emperor, the name of the slave is Jade Tea, Baoyu's jade, and Xiangming's tea."
"Your Majesty, Lord He......"
At this time, the internal official walked in, heard the two of them, and hurriedly lowered his head, "The slave is reckless, and the emperor forgives the sin." ”
Yun Rongjue retracted his emotions, "Is Lord He here?" ”
"Back to the emperor, yes, Lord He is waiting outside the palace."
"Biography."
Yu Ming glanced at it and bowed, "The slave and maid retreat." ”
Yu Ming left the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Night.
After Yun Rongjue finished talking with the minister, it was not too early.
"Your Majesty, do you want to drive to the Spirit Dance Palace?" The chamberlain asked.
"No, I'm staying in the Heart Nourishing Hall today." He said.
The inner official bowed his head, and then withdrew from the main hall.
Jiang Wu was waiting for Yun Rongjue, and the internal officials of the Heart Cultivation Hall came to spread the word and told Yun Rongjue to stay in the Heart Cultivation Hall tonight.
Yun Rongjue is rarely like this, and only when there are many court affairs to deal with, he will sleep alone in the Palace of Nourishing Hearts.
"Is the emperor very busy today?" Jiang Wu asked with concern.
The internal official replied, "Yes, more than a quarter of an hour ago, Lord He and the others left the Heart Cultivation Palace. ”
Jiang Wu nodded suddenly, "Then the father-in-law takes good care of the emperor." ”
The internal official chuckled, "The slave understands, and the slave retired first." ”
As the night deepened, the candle flame in the Heart Nourishing Hall was still not extinguished.
Yu Lie was concerned, and when he walked into the hall, he saw Yun Rongjue leaning on the soft collapse, his eyes drooping, and he was holding a purple silk ribbon in his hand.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night, aren't you resting?" Yu Lie said with concern.
"I'm not sleepy." He looked at the ribbon in his hand, his eyes heavy.
