Chapter 702: Like a stranger meeting for the first time
What is the cowardice of the hometown, the emperor has a good experience, he should have personally welcomed Princess Wuyang into the palace, but he was dragged by various trivial matters and refused to move, Hao Pingguan urged him a few times, he was all hum, and there was no follow-up.
He didn't know what his mood was, he wanted to go to see her, he was restless all day, and asked the princess from time to time where was the phoenix? But when he really entered the palace, he calmed down, as if it didn't matter, from the vestibule to the harem, the distance was not far, and it was only a quarter of an hour to sit down, but he couldn't forget that day on the street, she and Lan Wenyu talked and laughed affectionately, and she couldn't forget that she admitted that she wanted to marry Lan Wenyu, and she didn't feel ashamed of facing him. Now, she finally returned to him, but he used the army to force Nanyuan to send her back, otherwise, she might have married Lan Wenyu at this time.
He never believed that she would change, but what he saw with his own eyes, heard with his own ears, and the cruel truth couldn't help but make him think about something more.
Many things have changed, identity has changed, and original intention has also changed?
He waited until someone came to Ci'an Palace, and then he went to Ci'an Palace.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw her, standing with her eyebrows lowered and her eyes down, very docile. The palace concubines knelt on the ground, he didn't look at anyone, walked straight in, and asked the Empress Dowager Rui for peace.
Empress Dowager Rui has been observing the emperor, and as soon as she came in, her eyes were fixed on Princess Wuyang, and her urgent thoughts were almost seen through at a glance.
When the emperor came in, Princess Wuyang glanced at it very quickly, and still met his sight, and her heart jumped, she was the first time to see the emperor of Dongyue, with heroic eyebrows, deep and bright eyes, and exquisite facial features, he was not as good as General Lan, but that noble and majestic momentum, as if growing out of his bones, was beyond the reach of General Lan.
What surprised her the most was the white hair on his temples, which was obviously the peak age of the Spring and Autumn Period, but the temples had gorgeous hair, which did not look old, but added a kind of precipitation of the years.
Empress Dowager Rui said, "This is the Wuyang princess of Nanyuan, the emperor will see you." ”
The emperor looked sideways, Princess Wuyang stepped forward and saluted, the emperor was empty, and quickly let go, hanging his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking?
Princess Wuyang is Bai Qianfan's business, few people in the palace know about it, and the emperor himself didn't understand why he didn't disclose this secret, as if he really welcomed back a princess from Nanyuan, instead of finding his daughter-in-law.
"Your Majesty?" Empress Dowager Rui called him, "You see which palace to let the princess live in, in the opinion of the mourning family, the big gift has not yet been made, let the princess stay in Ci'an Palace for the time being, and after the big ceremony, then enter the Fengming Palace, what does the emperor think?" ”
The Emperor said, "I have no opinion, I have asked the princess what she means." ”
Princess Wuyang immediately said: "I listen to the Queen Mother Lafayette." ”
Empress Dowager Rui glanced at the emperor slightly, and the emperor remembered that the palace concubines were still kneeling, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed, presumably he saw Bai Qianfan and Lan Wenyu together that day, and Bai Qianfan's mood was the same when he saw so many concubines with him today, He couldn't explain this matter, coughed, and said in a deep voice: "Get up." ”
Only then did the concubines stand up, Xiu Yuanshuang looked at the emperor, she knew him best, although the emperor concealed it well, but she could see that he was nervous and helpless, on the other hand, the princess Wuyang was a down-and-out and generous appearance. She was suspicious, even if she looked like Bai Qianfan, the emperor would not look like this, and her weak heart would be like ...... Caught red-handed.
She turned her head to look at Princess Wuyang again, if she hadn't known that Bai Qianfan was dead, she would have thought that this was Bai Qianfan...... Thinking of this, she chuckled in her heart, Murong Lin can come back, why must Bai Qianfan die, if this is Bai Qianfan, then the emperor's strange behavior is easy to explain, but Bai Qianfan's appearance has not changed, but the person is a little different from before.
The emperor sat down, the palace maid served tea, he sat with the tea cup and the old god said, without saying a word, he didn't come, the atmosphere was okay, as soon as he came, everyone was quiet, and the atmosphere was dull.
Usually at this time, Empress Dowager Rui is the best at talking about topics, but she is dumb today, holding the Persian cat in her arms one after another, and she is silent.
The Empress Dowager didn't speak, and the people below didn't dare to breathe, they all sat like little daughters-in-law, staring at their uppers, as if they looked at them a few more times, and the uppers would bloom.
The Persian cat was impatient with loneliness, and meowed, everyone woke up like a dream, and they all raised their heads, Xiu Yuanshuang smiled and said, "Lafayette will take Xue Nu to see His Royal Highness the Prince today, he is worried about this cat, he won't say, he drew a cat with a pen, and the concubine looked at it, ah, this is not Xue Nu." ”
Empress Dowager Rui was very pleased, "He can draw cats?" Is it really a painted snow slave? ”
"The concubine can still tell Lafayette, if you don't believe it, you can go and see for yourself."
"This kid may want to mourn his family, he doesn't say it, he understands everything in his heart."
"But no," Xiu Yuanshuang glanced at Princess Wuyang, "Lin'er is quick-minded, and he is smart, he must be thinking of Lafayette when he paints Xuenu, if he thinks about the emperor, he will draw dragons, he knows that the emperor is the real dragon emperor, if the emperor doesn't come to see him for a few days, he will take the painting to find the concubine, and pull the concubine to go out." You see, this kid really understands everything. ”
Empress Dowager Rui nodded, "Who said it's not, pitiful, I don't have a mother at a young age, and I have nowhere to say the pain in my heart." ”
Listening to these words, the emperor looked at Princess Wuyang with his eyes, but he wanted to see if her heart was fleshy? When he entered the palace, he was polite and unfamiliar with him, but can he be indifferent to his son?
But Princess Wuyang was indifferent, listening to them talk about Mo Ronglin, there was no wave on her face at all.
The emperor was very disappointed in his heart, he didn't know how their husband and wife became like this, could it be because their identity had changed, because he threatened her country, so they wanted to be so alienated from him, even ignoring their son?
Harmony is a diplomatic means of last resort, and he privately does not want her to be burdened with a political mission, which will make their feelings political, but obviously, she is reluctant to come, and can be indifferent to everything, so she really disappoints him and makes him feel so strange. Obviously, the last time he went to Nanyuan, although she admitted that she wanted to marry Lan Wenyu, she was not ruthless to him, but now, she sat there indifferently, really like a stranger who met for the first time.
