Yu'an Palace.

Princess Qingtian summoned Su Zecai.

The two of them sat silently, looking at each other, and the relationship seemed to be much closer.

Princess Qingtian had never regarded a lowly man like Su Zecai as a friend before, but for Su Zecai, it was an exception, she regarded him as her confidant and friend from the bottom of her heart.

She was willing to be close to him, and she felt that he was a little different.

But what is different from her, she herself can't say.

It's a delicate relationship, but it's wonderful.

People are like that, sometimes they have inexplicable passions, sometimes they have momentary impulses.

Su Zecai is completely different from Princess Qingtian, he doesn't regard her as his friend.

It can even be said that he did not regard anyone as his friend at all in this palace.

In fact, this is not because he is unwilling to make friends with others, but because he has no good feelings and yearning for the life of the palace.

Therefore, he doesn't have any good feelings about everything in the palace, except for his own mother, Concubine Li.

Everyone in the world has times when they can't help themselves, but when it comes to coping, people have different choices.

Princess Qingtian was the first to break the silence and asked in a very flat tone: "I heard that Concubine Li summoned you alone?" ”

Su Zecai nodded: "Yes!" ”

"Concubine Li, why did she summon you? What did she say to you? Princess Qingtian asked with a smile.

Su Zecai's face sank: "Princess, what are you suspecting about me again?" You called me here just to ask me these words? ”

Princess Qingtian smiled sweetly: "Sort of!" ”

What does she mean by that?

He couldn't figure it out.

"Concubine Li said that I am your queen painter, she feels very curious, she just wants to meet me, the queen painter, what kind of person is it." Su Zecai told Princess Qingtian the truth about Concubine Li's intention to summon him.

"Really?" Princess Qingtian squinted at him, as if she didn't believe it.

"Believe it or not!" Su Zecai was a little angry.

"Look at you like that, still angry?" Princess Qingtian covered her mouth and smiled, "I'm joking with you!" In fact, Concubine Li had already said hello to me before calling you, and she was just curious about what kind of royal painter I had received, and she wanted to meet you! ”

What a childlike and mischievous princess!

Su Zecai looked at Princess Qingtian and shook her head with a wry smile.

Princess Qingtian stopped talking, and a pair of big eyes blinked at Su Zecai's face.

Su Zecai didn't know what he meant, and asked blankly: "Why is the princess looking at me like this?" ”

Princess Qingtian shook her head and said slowly: "Su Gongzi is really dignified and talented. ”

What's she playing again?

Su Zecai smiled bitterly: "It's not the first time the princess has seen me. ”

Princess Qingtian smiled evilly: "I heard that there are many female painters in the gallery who like you, isn't that so?" ”

"Princess Dare is using me to have fun, I quit!" Su Zecai dropped his words, stood up and prepared to leave.

"Don't, don't." Princess Qingtian pulled him back and sat down, "Are you really angry?" Okay, okay, Princess Ben is down to business! ”

Su Zecai sat patiently and asked kindly: "Princess, please speak!" ”

Princess Qingtian said: "The night after tomorrow, Concubine Li's Niang Shouyan, you can go with me!" ”

Su Zecai was stunned, he didn't expect that Princess Qingtian would mention this sensitive topic again.

Seeing Su Zecai's hesitation, Princess Qingtian asked again, "How is it?" Are you going or not? Tell you, it was lively that night, it would be a pity if you didn't go, this princess can only be invited when you are a good friend! ”

"Okay, I'll go!" Su Zecai did not hesitate at all this time.

As soon as the words came out, even he himself was shocked.

How could I agree so readily?

In fact, this is because the desire for mother's love in his heart has become more and more intense!

Human reason dictates this, in fact, in his heart, he really wants to celebrate his mother's birthday!

……

The night was already very deep.

In the large palace, nothing could be heard except the whirring of the breeze.

Jingxuan Palace.

In the bedroom, the candles are still lit.

Concubine Jing was lying on the bed, she had a melon seed face, willow eyebrows, apricot eyes, cherry mouth, her face was like jade, and she had the face of a beautiful girl.

She is not very old, she has just turned twenty this year.

She kept her eyes open, she didn't fall asleep, she was waiting for someone.

Who can she wait for?

Who else but the emperor?

If anyone thinks so, they are wrong.

In fact, the person she was waiting for was Prince Li.

Because Prince Li had secretly told her before, he would come to see her tonight.

She is an ordinary peasant girl, her father died in the war, a year ago, when the emperor drove to conquer the enemy, he "met" her, and took a fancy to spoil her, after the class returned to the court, the emperor made her a concubine and included her in the harem.

In fact, the reason why the emperor was able to "meet" her was because of Prince Li, who accompanied the emperor on his personal expedition, after her father and mother died in the war, she wanted to kill herself, but fortunately was rescued by Prince Li, who searched for refugees.

Unexpectedly, when Prince Zhongli handed over all the refugees to the emperor to deal with, the emperor took a fancy to her.

Prince Li didn't show that he liked her in advance, and when he saw his father open his mouth, Prince Li didn't want to fight with his father for a woman in front of the soldiers of the three armies, so he had to endure it silently.

To endure is to endure, and to endure does not mean that you do not love.

In fact, as long as Prince Li has the opportunity, he will go to Jingxuan Palace to have a secret tryst with Concubine Jing.

Tonight, that's exactly what happened.

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

I saw that the window at the head of the bed was opened by a black-clothed masked man, and the black-clothed masked man entered her room silently.

Concubine Jing didn't notice it in the slightest.

The black-clothed masked man raised his hand and ripped off the black scarf on his face, revealing Prince Li's gloomy handsome face.

Prince Li barely squeezed out a smile on his face and walked towards the head of the bed.

Concubine Jing saw Prince Li and hurriedly got up and sat down.

Prince Li sat down on the edge of the bed, he stretched out his hot hands, clasped Concubine Jing's cold little hands, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I'm late, you're fine, right?" ”

"Nope." Concubine Jing shook her head and smiled, and replied very simply.

Prince Li looked at her with infinite tenderness in his eyes, but asked in a deep voice: "Tell me quickly, why did Concubine Li beat you?" Is she heavy? How are you hurting? ”

Concubine Jing didn't speak, she rolled up the sleeves of her hands, and saw that her two snow-white jade arms were full of bruises.

The fierce cold light in Prince Li's eyes flashed, and he scolded angrily: "That slut! ”

Concubine Jing put down her sleeves and said indifferently: "I don't know if Concubine Li is intentional or unintentional, or wants to be powerful in front of me, she came to sit with me, and suddenly opened her mouth to tell me, saying that she took a fancy to the hairpin in my hair and asked me to give it to her." ”

"Isn't it just a hairpin? Won't you give it to her? Prince Li looked at Concubine Jing in confusion.

Concubine Jing flattened her mouth, took out a white jade hairpin from under the pillow, and handed it to Prince Li: "This is what you gave me, how can I give it to others?" ”

The corners of Prince Li's eyes were wet, and he hugged Concubine Jing into his arms, and said with a little choked: "I'm sorry, I forgot about it, I'm really sorry." ”

"I don't want us to live a sneaky life like this, I'm scared, I'm afraid that one day there will be an incident!" Concubine Jing said, and couldn't help shedding two lines of tears.

Prince Li expressed helplessness with a bitter face, and said apologetically: "I can't help it, just don't think too much, don't be afraid, you have to always remember, if something really happens, we will be a ghost couple happily together!" ”

"Hmm." Concubine Jing hugged Prince Li tightly.

If time could stop at this moment, they would both be willing to accept this dark night without light forever.
