Chapter Eighty-Six: Sleepless Night

Near evening, Yu Wenye returned to the East Palace and went straight to Qingyun Pavilion to find Bai Muguan, but saw her wearing a homely pale pink cardigan brocade skirt and concentrating on writing, and Xiangyun was grinding inkstones beside her.

Yu Wenye deliberately walked in lightly, gesturing to Xiangyun not to make a sound, until Bai Muguan looked up and found him, he opened his mouth: "I used to think that you had excellent ear power, but I didn't expect that there would be such carelessness." ”

Bai Muguan couldn't help but smile and sneer: "Your Highness is strong in martial arts, and he can walk almost quietly, like Ling Bo's micro-steps." How can I find you coming in? ”

Hearing this, he smiled, his smile was handsome and unusually fleeting.

Xiangyun didn't dare to pestle here, glanced at the two masters with interest, and said with a smile: "Miss just said that she was hungry, and the slave went to the small kitchen to urge dinner." ”

Yu Wenye nodded with satisfaction: "You go quickly, remember to ask the small kitchen to make one more pear blossom cake, your young lady likes to eat it the most." ”

"Yes, the slave has written it down." Xiangyun withdrew.

There were only two of them left in the hall, and Yu Wenye was full of worries, deliberately avoiding the girl's smiling and playful apricot eyes. Pursing his thin lips and standing with his hands in his hands, he lowered his head and fell silent, his emotions obviously wrong and unpredictable.

Seeing this, Bai Muguan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly walked to his side, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" Could it be that the eldest prince beat a rake, and His Majesty believed it? ”

Yu Wenye raised his eyebrows and shook his head, and tried his best to speak in a straightforward tone: "My father led me to Zhaoyang Palace alone, and asked about the matter reported by Ling Fengchen yesterday, and I stated to my father how to distinguish between real and fake tokens, and my father did not hesitate to believe it." I don't know what Ling Fengchen said, my father actually began to suspect that the assassination was a deliberate ploy by Yu Wencheng. It is only said that the matter of forging the East Palace token to blame the prince must be investigated clearly, and it will not be tolerated. ”

"That doesn't sound right." Bai Muguan couldn't guess the reason for his worries more and more, and he was a little foggy.

"Wanguan," he suddenly reached out to take her fragrant shoulder, took a deep breath, and stared at her apologetically, "I'm sorry for you...... Today, I entered the palace to ask my mother for peace, she did not agree to our marriage, and forced me to accept my cousin Tong Yao into the East Palace when my father came to Kunning Palace. ”

Bai Muguan froze instantly, unconsciously took a few steps back, and broke free from the ten fingers he held on her shoulders. She knew that Tong Yao was the concubine of Cheng'en Gong Tong Mingxiao, with a noble background and good looks, which was deeply cherished by her aunt, who is the current Queen Tong. If it weren't for the sake of avoiding suspicion, I am afraid that the crown princess of this dynasty will not be Ye Shiying, but Tong Yao.

I saw her bless and make a gesture, her voice was crisp but difficult to hide the sourness: "Congratulations to Your Highness on winning the beauty." ”

Word by word, Yu Wenye's heartstrings trembled and trembled, and he couldn't expect Bai Muguan to react like this. He knew that she must have mixed feelings in her heart, and even resented him, he was afraid that she would be jealous and annoyed with him, and he was even more worried that there would be a gap between them. Who says that being in a high position is necessarily omnipotent? He slowly felt that no matter who he was, the higher he stood up, the more scruples he had, and it was often difficult to fulfill his wishes.

"Guanguan, you should understand that I am the future son of the Cullinan Dynasty, although it is enough for me to have you by my side, but I can't do anything. A marriage is the easiest way to consolidate your position and power while winning hearts and minds. I have never liked Tong Yao, and I don't want to delay her life as a cousin. Helplessly, I am still the crown prince of the court, so many people are eyeing me, and her father Cheng'en Gong is the uncle of the current country, I accepted her into the East Palace for mutual benefit and each took what she needed, so the queen mother would try her best to promote this matter. Yu Wenye's words were sincere, his expression was slightly excited, his eyes were focused on her, and his eyes were as deep as a pool of ripples.

"How can I blame you? I understand that no one in the harem can continue to be favored, even the late Chen Guifei, who once favored the sixth palace again, must endure the loneliness of His Majesty when he does not stay in Que Ning Palace. But I sincerely envy her in this life, she has lived arbitrarily and soberly and patiently, and His Majesty treats her with affection. Even if His Majesty has 3,000 beauties, he is always the same to Concubine Chen, I believe that in the eyes of Concubine Chen, he is not the son of heaven, but the young man who was a childhood sweetheart. On the contrary, if the husband's mind is not on his wife, even if he can't afford to marry three wives and four concubines, he still looks like a god, and the husband and wife have a boring life. Speaking of this, Bai Muguan raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes intersected, and each other's eyes were clear and clear.

I only heard her continue to say: "Red Tent Pillow Guest, Master of the Golden Palace." I don't care about the title of the crown princess or even the queen, as long as you Yu Wenye is sincere! I want you to fulfill your promise with your life, no matter how many women are by your side, it is enough for you to only recognize me as a wife in Bai Muguan in your heart. ”

It was the first time she had called him by his first name. Before he could speak, the girl held his trembling hands, forcibly held back the astringency in her apricot eyes, and squeezed out a smile: "You are in the emperor's family, not only the pride of the sky, but also a lonely person who is on guard against calculations everywhere." As I said earlier, I understand that your body can't help yourself, so naturally I won't trouble you in vain. In this life, I don't care how many women you take, I only care about where the heart is in your chest. ”

Yu Wenye never knows, in fact, she is as proud as her, and how much she looks forward to a lifetime and a couple in her heart. It's a pity that this wish is destined to become a regret in her life when they are happy.

The next moment, he hugged her without hesitation, and his arms hugged her tightly, as if he had used all the strength in his life. At the end, he slowly sighed: "Guanguan, it's only been half a year, and you have grown up a lot." ”

This time, Bai Muguan didn't agree with his words, but couldn't distinguish the joy and anger and asked: "When will she marry you as a side concubine?" ”

Yu Wenye smiled: "It's not a side concubine, it's just Liangdi, I will allow her to pass the door tomorrow." ”

"Just Liangdi?" Bai Muguan was quite shocked, and his bright pupils changed, "The queen mother agreed?" ”

"If she doesn't agree, I won't either." Saying that, a trace of cunning flashed in Yuwen Ye's eyes, "Actually, the father and emperor like you, so he rewarded Jade Ruyi to you, and promised you the reform on Chinese New Year's Eve." When the time is right, once the father and emperor decree to give us marriage, it is useless for the queen mother to object. ”

Bai Muguan shook his head and sighed: "Do you know why the queen mother dislikes me?" I have never offended her against her, and the Bai family has no grievances with the Tong family, if you don't understand the reason, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to get along in the future. ”

"I'll think about it later." After speaking, he opened his arms and hugged Wen Xiangyu's soft delicate body again, and the moment he leaned down and his thin lips touched her cheek, he was satisfied.

"Brother Ye, when the Haiyan River is peaceful and prosperous, I will take you to Mobei to watch the sunrise and sunset of the Gobi Desert, and then ride a horse in the vast prairie. We also have to travel through the mountains and rivers to enjoy leisurely, such as the small bridges and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River, the lantern festival in Fuzhou thousands of empty alleys, and the most famous grilled chicken ...... in Texas" Bai Muguan The little bird leaned on his arms, and the cherry lips were raised to outline a beautiful arc, and she spoke softly, looking forward to the future that she most truly longed for in the depths of her heart.

Yu Wenye listened carefully to her, and felt pity and pity in his heart. Even if there is no war in Mobei one day, even if Yuwencheng, Empress Dowager Xiao and others are eradicated by them one by one in the future, the bloody court of all dynasties will never be truly stable. And he is not qualified to stay away, because he is the future king of the Cullinan Dynasty, and he is destined to bear the glory and disgrace of the rise and fall of a country on his shoulders, and he can't accompany her to enjoy the mountains and rivers at any time.

Well, she was still young, so why did he tell her those cruel realities too soon?

Close to her ears and temples, Yu Wenye suddenly said: "Guanguan, I promise you to go to Mobei in your lifetime." I want to see with my own eyes the soil that nurtures such a strange woman as you, and I want to see the legendary galaxy at my fingertips, the endless prairie. ”

Bai Muguan's eyes flashed with joy and enthusiasm: "Talking counts? ”

He bowed his head: "A word is a certainty." ”

Yu Wenye stayed in Qingyun Pavilion to accompany her for dinner before returning to the study to deal with government affairs.

During the New Year's Festival, the eighth prince Yu Wenhui was born, and the emperor was happy, and he ordered to rest for seven days, and the six divisions were happy, which was really a celebration of the whole world.

When Yu Wenye left Qingyun Pavilion, the girl in the hall squatted down and buried her dazzling and beautiful face deep in her knees, tears falling down her eyes. Xiang's shoulders trembled violently from her crying, but the cry was deliberately suppressed, so low that it was inaudible.

She didn't want people to notice that she was crying, until Xiangyun, who came in to deliver the bird's nest soup, found out, hurriedly ran forward to help her up, and asked in surprise: "Miss, what's wrong with you, Miss?" ”

Seeing Xiangyun panicked, Bai Muguan sucked his sour nose and reluctantly comforted: "I'm fine." ”

Xiangyun grabbed her hand, and tears fell with her: "Slave maid beating Miss Waiting, when did you see you sad like this, what happened?" Although the slave and maid can't help you with their soft words, at least they can listen to you vent a few words, don't keep it in your heart. ”

"I've cried and it's fine, don't worry and don't say it." Bai Muguan raised his hand to wipe away his tears, turned around and walked inside, "I'm tired today and want to go to bed early, you tell Bilong that there is no need to arrange for someone to keep vigil and wait." ”

Xiangyun still wanted to persuade something, but seeing the pale pink figure disappear behind the veil, she could only retreat.

At the same time, Bai Muguan lay down with his clothes closed, leaving a faint tear stain where the tears flowed through his skin. She pretended not to care and closed her eyes, but her mind was drowsy and chaotic, and sometimes she was extremely awake, although she closed her eyes, there were still many pictures of truth and falsehood floating in front of her. These images are all related to Yu Wenye, his inadvertent laughter and scolding, or the woman she imagines to accompany him in the future......

She was destined to have no sleep this night.

Slowly opening his eyes, Bai Muguan couldn't help but slander Tong Yao was just the first, right? No matter what the ending of himself and Yu Wenye is, the backyard of the East Palace will become more and more full sooner or later. Flowers bloom one after another, do the prince's women also change? She already had the answer in her mind. She was fond of him, even outright in love with him. is destined to be the only one, so she can only do her best to be the undefeated blooming flower on the tip of his heart, and strive to make him smile and watch it often for the rest of his life.

The veil in the hall that had been dyed with the fragrance of pear blossoms was her favorite taste, and at this moment it made Bai Muguan more awake and sleepless.

The cold wind was blowing incessantly outside, disturbing the original silence in the winter night, and the sound of the leaves constantly coming through the window screens. I don't know how long it took, most of the maids of Qingyun Pavilion fell asleep, and Bai Muguan got out of bed and walked out of the palace gate. The cold wind blew on her body, blowing the soft crescent white cloak behind her, like a butterfly flying in the dark night, lonely and beautiful.

In the distance, there was a faint sound of the piano, quiet and graceful, and it sounded like a stop in the heart.

Bai Muguan raised her lips and smiled, of course she knew that this was the sound of her cousin Ye Shiying's piano. But she didn't know that she occasionally had no sleep, and Ye Shiying had almost no sleep since she married into the East Palace.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Muguan walked in the direction where the sound of the piano came from, and sure enough, he came from the inner garden of Qiushui Pavilion. She paused at a distance of about two meters from Ye Shiying, and looked closely at the light purple shadow sitting in the moonlight.

At the end of the song, Ye Shiying turned around and smiled lightly: "You finally don't hide from me?" ”

"I'm not afraid of heaven and earth, why do I deliberately hide from my sister?" With an uninhibited and smiling tone, Bai Muguan raised his feet and walked towards her.

Ye Shiying lowered her eyes and still smiled, and asked rhetorically: "Sister can't sleep tonight?" ”

Bai Muguan said lightly: "In the future, there are not only our sisters in the East Palace, although I am an outsider, I will not see my sister in crisis." Tong Liangdi will pass tomorrow, and I am afraid that the peaceful time when my sister is alone will never be there anymore. ”

"I don't fight with you for Your Highness, and naturally I won't fight with her." With a faint look on her beautiful face, Ye Shiying bit her lip and laughed at herself, "I just want to live in peace, and the Ye family is safe." ”

"My sister is in a high position now, how many people are thorns in the flesh? It would be naΓ―ve to just try to stay out of the way. Bai Muguan smiled coldly, but this coldness was not aimed at Ye Shiying, "As for the preservation of the family, although we are women, which one of us does not bear the mission of the rise and fall of the family?" ”

"Mu Guan, what you dare to say and dare to do, I don't dare and won't." Ye Shiying smiled bitterly, "I am cautious to be this crown princess, I can't be treated by His Royal Highness, and I have been cold-eyed and jealous by countless people." But I had to follow the rules, because I didn't dare to take the slightest risk with the honor and disgrace of the Ye family. ”

Bai Muguan retorted disapprovingly: "My sister is wrong, you at least have brothers to rely on, they each have their own strengths to protect the Ye family, and I am the only one in my Bai family." If I don't dare, I don't dare to risk my father's fame in the shadow of his sword. ”

"Before I got married, I often heard people say that it is not easy to be a woman, but I didn't think it was before, but now I think it is true." After saying that, Ye Shiying shook her head, picked up the guqin and prepared to leave.

Bai Muguan stayed in place and was distracted, Ye Shiying is now sitting in the position she desires the most, she is the wife of Yuwenye Mingmei, but she is so impatient and reluctant, it would be nice if it was her Bai Muguan.
