The wind at noon was not suitable for flying a kite, and after several failures, Duan Ming finally performed a light skill and threw the kite to a high place, and I sprinted on the ground with a string before finally letting it go.

After putting it high, Duan Ming had just hung the line on the old peach tree, and there was a rush of footsteps in the front yard. Duan Ming and I are both internal forces of the wind, and our ear power is several times higher than that of others. Hearing the sound, they all looked at the middle building - the first emperor is dead, the ban has not expired, and there are no half guests in the entire Peach Blossom Street.

But I saw that it was two little eunuchs who were led into the backyard by the little servants in the building, and when they saw me, they didn't care about Duan Ming's surprised gaze on the side, and bowed down.

"Congratulations to Niangniang, congratulations to Niangniang!"

This sudden Dao Xi is really a little confusing. I exchanged a confused look with Duan Ming and asked, "Who are you and what are you talking about?" ”

One of the little eunuchs raised his head and smiled with a lovely smile: "Back to Niangniang, the slave is the one who serves in the Xuangong Palace, Your Majesty has made a decision, and the special slave came to inform the Niangniang, choose an auspicious day to welcome Niangniang into the Yeyao Palace, and canonize Zhaoyi!" ”

I was stunned, and the violent numbness flowed from the top of my head to the tip of my toes, and from the toes to the top of my head, back and forth, making people's minds go blank. When Duan Ming's cold hand was grasped, all kinds of intense, complicated emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time finally erupted.

Duan Ming hurriedly said: "Isn't there a holy decree, but an oracle?" ”

"It turned out that His Majesty was thinking of Niangniang in his heart, so he agreed with Lord Lihou that he would send a slave to say hello to Niangniang before he wrote an edict, and I believe that it will not arrive tomorrow!"

I stood there dumbfounded, silently tearing down like rain, not noticing the strange gazes of the two little eunuchs who looked at me and Duan Ming holding each other's hands tightly.

"Duan Ming... He's coming for me, and I've finally been waiting for this day......"

"Let's just say that my paper kite is very effective," Duan Ming also smiled with tears, "Everything will be fine!" ”

"Hmm," I wiped away my tears and turned to the two little eunuchs, "It's just... Why does he want me to live in Yeyao Palace, instead of the Huangqi Palace that he is used to? ”

The little eunuch was a little embarrassed when he heard that I didn't need honorifics, and just called the palace flag with "he". Seeing me ask, I didn't dare not answer: "Niangniang said that she laughed, in addition to the Zhongfu Palace, which is worthy of living in the middle palace, the full palace belongs to the Yeyao Palace, which is the closest to the Xuangong Palace, which is the most luxurious and exquisite. Although the Huangqi Palace is clean near the mountains and rivers, it is not in line with your identity as a favorite concubine, nor is it in line with Your Majesty's desire to treat you! ”

The little eunuch's mouth was sweet, and after a few words, I became more and more comfortable, and I no longer delved into the intention of the palace flag.

Duan Ming was still careful, and asked with a smile: "Since the harem is only owned by Hotaru, why didn't the emperor directly crown the queen, wouldn't it be happy?" ”

"Shaoxia doesn't dare to say it, Your Majesty's Sacred Heart has its own arrangements, how can we speculate wildly?" The little eunuch's face changed a little, and he coughed in a low voice: "Even the girl will be His Majesty's concubine in the near future, and she is just missing a will, so the young man still avoids it, and it is advisable to change his words as soon as possible." ”

"He's mine—"

"—Got it." Duan Ming pressed me who was about to snatch the white, and with a look of joy at the right time, he said kindly, "Then the emperor said about the day of kissing?" ”

"The emperor's decree is immediately issued, and when the servants leave the palace, the ministers of the Ministry of Rites have already entered the palace to discuss the auspicious day of the zodiac." The little eunuch put on a festive smile again, "Presumably the craftsman has started to renovate the Yeyao Palace at this moment, so wait patiently for a few more days, girl!" ”

I nodded again and again, and the two little eunuchs got up and said a lot of auspicious words, congratulating for a long time, but seeing that Duan Ming and I were only happy, and had no intention of rewarding, they exchanged embarrassed glances and bowed away.

"Duan Ming!" Seeing them out of the middle building, I grabbed Duan Ming's hand and jumped up on the spot with joy, "Gong Wan is finally going to marry me!" ”

Duan Ming nodded vigorously, and a pair of eyes smiled into two crescents, hiding most of the clear starlight. I looked at the sky, and the kites were still swaying gently in the breeze under the bright midday sun.

After having lunch with Duan Ming, I went back to my room and told Zhuo Ying about the fact that Gong Wan was about to welcome me into the palace.

"It's not like I didn't advise you, but everyone's decision is their own. Gui Hotaru, I hope you won't regret it; If you can go back one day in the future, when you are faced with a choice, I hope you can be as crisp and happy as you are today. ”

When I talked about my relationship with Miyahata before, Zhuo Ying always objected strictly on the grounds that sooner or later I would return to Earth and should not have feelings for people in this world. However, today, her attitude is calm and calm, and her face is not shocked, which really surprised me a lot.

"Zhuo Ying, don't you object?"

"It's not that I haven't objected, once you don't listen, two or three times you don't listen, I don't have to be disgusted anymore. After all, those friends of yours don't want to see me anymore. Zhuo Ying's face rarely had such a tired smile, "Gui Ying, I have always been a person who does not admit defeat, and sometimes I am even a little strong, which may force people to breathe." No matter how much we fight about this matter, we can't convince each other in the end. Obviously, both of them are right, but neither of them is happy. ”

I was slightly stunned, I really didn't expect Zhuo Ying to say such a thing.

Obviously, both of them are right, but neither of them is happy.

"Zhuo Ying, Duan Ming, they are all sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, happy to enmity and hatred, sometimes their attitude is blunt, and it is not that they don't want to see you. You only look at Sarong's tricky and eccentric temperament, and he is not polite when he speaks to you. It can be seen that even if there is a life, there is still respect and care in the heart. I said softly, "I understand that my decision is actually very selfish, for you and Shui Qing and them, for Duan Ming and the Tail Sect...... It's just that I still hope that you are willing to believe me, if the day really comes, I will never do anything to betray you. ”

Zhuo Ying shook his head: "Gui Ying, if you think it's a betrayal when you get married, then what kind of friends are we?" Also, as much as I believe in you, I also want you to understand that your decision never needs to be trusted by anyone. As long as it is your heart's desire, we will support you and bless you. ”

"Zhuo Ying ......"

I already had tears in my eyes, and I had a deep conversation with Zhuo Ying for a long time, and a small servant upstairs came down to pass the word, only saying that Aunt Hua invited me to go up.

I counted that it was not yet dinner time, so I expected that Aunt Hua must have something to say to me. After briefly explaining to Zhuo Ying, I followed the little maid upstairs and walked all the way inside, only to realize that Aunt Hua was waiting in the account room where she was discussing with everyone at night.

When he arrived at the door, the little guy didn't dare to go in, but only bowed down and stood still, knocking on the door three times. There was a quiet "come in" in the room, and the little servant opened the door, bowed to me, and then turned to leave.

I was nervous, it seems that this account room is also a top-secret place in Taopinlou, and ordinary people don't dare to set foot easily. Taking a deep breath, I walked into the room, which was windowless on all sides, and there was no sunlight at all. However, a few wooden chairs were scattered in a circle, and dozens of candles were lit on the walls at the same time, which could not illuminate the darkness of the room.

"Ling'er, come and sit!"

I turned around sharply, only to see Aunt Hua sitting upright on the round of wooden chairs. She beckoned to me by candlelight, and although her smile was peaceful, it was a little intimidating for no reason.

I calmed down, walked to the wooden chair beside her, and sat down slowly: "Aunt Hua... I-"

"-I've heard about it all?"

"What?"

"Duan Shaoxia told Sarong about it, and Sarong told Wanqiu again, how could my aunt not know?"

Aunt Hua grabbed my hand as usual and put it on her thigh and stroked it gently. However, her expression was not as kind and peaceful as before, and there was inky hesitation in her eyes, and even the smile with delicate makeup seemed a little embarrassed and reluctant.

"Ling'er, my aunt has something to say, can you not marry that palace flag?"

I expected that Aunt Hua would come to me for this matter, but I didn't expect her to say such things so directly, and my ears buzzed for a while, and I didn't know what to say.

Duan Shaoxia said that the new monarch only verbally agreed, and did not really give you a holy decree. Taking advantage of the fact that there is still room for things to turn around, Ling'er, go to him to explain your mind and withdraw from the marriage, okay? ”

"What a mind... Divorce? I was still confused by the second monk, "Aunt Hua, it is the common wish of the two of us to welcome me into the palace, don't you know my relationship with him?" ”

"Love is love, but entering the palace as a concubine is another matter!" Aunt Hua held my hand and trembled a little anxiously, "At the beginning, the prince's party and the two sons of the crown prince were so powerful, who would have thought that this fifth prince would stand out... He ascended the throne so smoothly, and he was in such a hurry to welcome you into the palace, I, I ......"

"It's all going fast, and it's normal for you not to be prepared. It's just that I don't understand, isn't it a good thing that the palace banner stood out and enthroned me and welcomed me into the palace against all odds? ”

"No, of course not!" Aunt Hua's voice suddenly became sharp, "You are my goddaughter, Zhao'er's own sister, and the young owner of this peach sales building, how can you, how can you enter the palace with that man!" ”

"I am the flesh and blood relatives of you and your brother, and I am the young owner of Taopin Building... However, what does it matter if you enter the palace? ”

"If you enter the palace and become the concubine of his palace clan, you will never be able to leave the palace again for the rest of your life, what if you call your aunt and Zhao'er!"

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and smiled softly: "Aunt Hua, you can rest assured of this." The palace flags treat me differently than ordinary emperors treat ordinary concubines. Regardless of his love, as the righteous daughter of the Marquis of Li, can't I go out of the palace to visit my father-in-law after marrying into the royal family? ”

"Lihou is old-fashioned, the most foolish and loyal and polite. You hurry up and mention him to me, just look at you in the building these days, can he send someone to condole? Scold. I see, the two little girls in the Prince's Mansion are stronger than him! ”
