Chapter 137: Promotion
Lu Nuoxin walked through the flowery imperial garden, returned to the Yongning Palace full of pear leaves, just entered the palace gate, and saw a bright yellow figure sitting straight in front of the desk, obviously, he came at once, and he didn't have time to change into this dragon robe, but she didn't like the way he wore the dragon robe, he was too majestic, that belonged to him as the emperor, not to the letter.
The glass-colored light folded out from behind the man, and hit his contoured face like a faint dye, green as ink, and the wind lifted itself...... A cup of tea beside him, the fragrance wafted in, and there were few cigarettes. All this seems so unreal.
"Xin'er, you're back, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Closing the book, he looked up at her, his beautiful thin lips slightly hooked, and his smile was warm.
Looking at his handsome face, Lu Nuoxin took a long breath, and his head, which was a mess just now, gradually became clear.
"Well, I just invited Nan Gongzi to a banquet in the Imperial Garden, and I thank the emperor and myself for his life-saving grace in the cottage before. Moreover, he is about to leave the palace, so he has to get acquainted, even if it is a goodbye. She said calmly, everything in this palace naturally can't escape his eyes, since that's the case, then tell the truth.
The emperor's black eyes swept over her face, stopped at her reddish eyes, and a trace of displeasure flashed in her heart, but she said without a trace: "Well, it's time to thank him, what have you talked about for so long?" ”
Hearing his question, she looked over with some confusion, but she couldn't see a trace of waves in his eyes, as if he was just asking casually, carelessly.
She also smiled calmly and said, "It's just a casual chat, talking about some of his past stories, I listened to some emotion, so I came back late." Why did the emperor retire so early today? Since you're here, why don't you let someone tell you, and I'll come back sooner. She smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes, and pulled away the topic without a trace, and the dragon embroidered with gold thread on the bright yellow robe seemed to keep staring at her, making her a little depressed.
"If you think about it, you naturally have to come over earlier." He hugged her and smiled wickedly, letting her face turn crimson.
"The palace people are still here, don't talk nonsense." She blushed and shook off his hand, walked around him, and sat down on the soft couch beside her.
The emperor laughed, waved his hand to send the palace people away, came over and hugged her and kissed her, kissed her petite earlobe, and whispered in her ear: "Xin'er, can I let you be a concubine?" ”
Hearing this, she struggled to sit up straight from his arms, but saw that there was no joke on his face, concubine, heh, are all emperors like this, when he loves you, he gives you a promotion and rewards you with rare treasures, and when he doesn't love you, he can leave you far away and ignore you for a long time.
But the position of the concubine, is this a lost and regained? That time, she blocked an arrow for him, and the moment she woke up, he canonized her as a concubine despite the rumors, but in the farce he directed and acted in, he canceled his concubine canonization, but does he really understand that she never cares about the level of status, what she wants is just the love of knowing and cherishing each other, but this kind of love, from the moment he doesn't trust himself, has long been in jeopardy.
"Xin'er, you don't like it?" Looking at her thoughtful expression, there was a little more complicated look in the emperor's eyes.
"Oh, no, just do it as you want." She came back to her senses and no longer shirked, she didn't care about the position before, because she believed in his love, but after going through so much, she found that the king's love was too cold, and he was naturally the same, she didn't want to rely on this empty love anymore, she now needs the name of the concubine, because she also wants to clear Qi Mo's name, in the palace, the best thing to use is the noble position, isn't it?
"That's good, then I will immediately make an order to choose a good day and an auspicious day to hold the canonization ceremony." Seeing that she agreed, the emperor hugged her and kissed her again. She didn't speak, just smiled sweetly.
"Now that you have been promoted, this Yongning Palace can't live anymore, Xin'er likes apricot blossoms, I will change the name of Chuxiu Palace, let you live in it, okay? It's close to the Qianqing Palace, so it's more convenient for me to see you. ”
"It's troublesome to move around, this Yongning Palace is quiet, I like it, if it doesn't conform to the concubine's etiquette, make some changes in the palace, as for the distance, if the emperor has the heart, no matter how far away he is willing to come, I'm afraid, those new sisters who enter the palace are like flowers, and the emperor is reluctant to leave it."
Although Chuxiu Palace is close to Qianqing Palace, it is not far from Kunning Palace, and it is around the Imperial Garden, so why should she bother to be bored by facing this big-bellied queen and those concubines who compete for beauty every day.
What's more, what is she doing with the apricot blossom now, but it is just to increase the sadness, although he did not pamper her after the palace banquet that day, but the memory of the apricot blossom has already made her remove from her memory.
"It's okay, everything depends on you, I also know that Xin'er likes to be quiet, but how does Xin'er's words sound sour, is it possible that the concubine Niangniang, who has always been indisputable, is now jealous of those people?" The emperor teased with a smile.
"That's natural, I've always only seen the newcomer laughing, not the old crying, who knows when our noble emperor suddenly changed his mood and hung me in Yongning Palace for a few months, I can't stand it a second time."
She actually wanted to say that she had lost Qi Mo, but she didn't dare to say it after all, he refused to give him an explanation about Qi Mo, but because the queen was pregnant, then she could wait.
She remembered the feeling of being in a cold war with him for a few months, she didn't care what others thought of her, she only cared about his attitude, but his attitude was so cold, it made her disheartened, she was silent at that time, she was so calm, who knew the turbulence in her heart, she just didn't want to let herself not even have the last trace of dignity.
But it was also his cold attitude that made her gradually understand some things that she didn't understand before, and she even found that she had gradually changed a lot, undoubtedly, this harem is a big dye vat, she wants to live her own life, but someone doesn't let her get her way, so she can only rise up to protect herself and the people around her, right?
"Xin'er, I'm sorry, ...... during that time" The emperor hugged her, trying to explain something.
"Faith, those things are gone, and we won't mention them anymore." She patted his hand and snuggled into his arms.
"Well, okay, let's not mention it, we're still the same as before." The emperor sighed quietly, and she nodded in her arms.
But in fact, both of them knew that they could no longer be the same as before......
