Chapter 017: Birthday Banquet (3)
All the way through the corridor and through the courtyard, only to feel that the scenery flew by, Hua Mian desperately slapped Pei Gongcuo: "You let me down, it's all you, it's all your fault, I hate you to death, I don't want to see you again, you let me down." ”
Pei Gongcuo ignored her and didn't put her down until he was in a secluded place. As soon as Hua Mian's feet touched the ground, she pushed him away and ran away. Pei Gongcuo quickly grabbed her wrist.
Hua Mian turned around and said viciously to him: "If you don't let go, I'll die for you." ”
Pei Gongcuo couldn't help but stiffen, he wanted to ask the teacher for the crime, but he was shocked by the word "death". He could see that she was indeed heartbroken at the moment, and if he insisted on persecution, she might really do what she said.
However, it was such a flash of God that allowed her to escape. Seeing her disappear from his sight, Pei Gongcuo sighed lightly in his heart, why did he fall for this little girl? Then he smiled lowly, it doesn't matter, I have patience to wait for you to fall in love with me.
When he stopped running, Hua Mian found that he was already standing at the door of the East Palace. After so many years, it has become a habit to come back here. Stepping into the gate, she was about to go to Shuihua Palace, but when she looked up, she saw a scene that made her heart crunch.
Qiu Tang was facing her, smiling heartily and draped a big coat on Ji Yunye's shoulder, obviously seeing her come in, but gently tying the belt for Ji Yunye as if he didn't see her.
Hua Mian felt as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly, and she sneered, "Should I congratulate you? ”
Ji Yunye was stunned for a moment, and suddenly turned around and looked at her fixedly, his face was dark, and there seemed to be a dark tide surging in his eyes.
Hua Mian also looked at him, as if waiting for an answer that had no answer at all.
Ji Yunye said to Qiu Tang in a low voice: "You go back first." ”
Qiu Tang glanced at Hua Mian unwillingly, and the complacency of the victor was clearly written in his eyes. She obediently agreed and retreated.
Hua Mian only stared at Ji Yunye, did not move, and did not speak.
Ji Yunye finally sighed lightly, strode forward and hugged her into his arms, except for constantly tightening her arms to make her breathless, there was no more speech.
Listening to his strong and rapid heartbeat, Hua Mian wanted to push him away and tell him that it was rude, but he was suddenly beaten and picked up. The next moment, he had already performed light skills to carry her into the Shuihua Palace and placed her on the bed.
Ji Yunye lay down beside her, reaching out to hug her into his arms, just like in the past years. At that time, he thought that he would only have one wife for her in this life, and she could only be his wife. Who knows that fate makes people. Now that he is going to marry, she is going to marry too. But neither of them is each other.
Hua Mian quietly let him hold him, and snuggled into his arms as obediently as before. Ji Yunye felt a wetness in his chest, he stretched out his fingers to pick up her jaw, and a small face with pear blossoms and rain was close in front of him. Suffocating for breath, he lowered his head to kiss her tears and swallowed them into his belly. All the way down, when his lips touched the corners of hers, he was stunned. The next moment, he felt two pieces of softness binding his lips that he wanted to escape, tossing and turning, and resisting death. Mian, the brain suddenly exploded with a bang.
As if to melt the love that had accumulated for many years between her lips and tongues, she pestered him until she was physically and mentally drunk.
Peeling back his shirt, she let out a low sigh as his temperature came through her body. Sensing the changes in his body, she guided him to a more intimate touch. But he suddenly woke up and pushed her away.
He turned over and sat up, covered her with a quilt, couldn't bear to see her disappointed look, turned his face and said, "You haven't arrived yet, so it's not suitable for sex." And now I have no right to possess your body. ”
Hua Mian couldn't help but smile, laughing sadly. She said coldly: "That being the case, why are you here to provoke me again?" Let's go. ”
Ji Yunye knew that he had poked her sore spot again. Not wanting her is no longer just a matter of her life, but of her happiness. The explanation he had intended to give was now meaningless, he tugged at the corners of his lips, smiled sadly, lay back down, and hugged her tightly, from her initial desperate struggle to the final obedient as a cat.
They embraced each other and fell asleep in overflowing sorrow.
A room of moonlight, silent.
At the end of the time, the banquet dispersed, Emperor Cheng Zhao retreated left and right, passed through the winding water corridor, and walked into the octagonal pavilion in the center of the lotus pond alone.
When people are fixed, the moon is thousands of miles, the floating light is golden, and the woman in the pavilion who is contemplating the moon stands Tingting, and her temperament is lonely and cold. She counted the sound of approaching footsteps behind her, guessing how far away he would come to a stop.
As a result, he stood a foot away. It was only a few steps away, but he didn't dare to step forward again.
Before the birthday banquet, he knew that she would bring her husband and daughter, and he wanted to greet her in person, but he couldn't help it because of others. As a result, the welcome and accommodation were all arranged by Lian Xi in person. At the feast, his attention never left her. She was well-behaved from beginning to end, with a faint smile, and the empress's temperament came out of her body. He wanted to find the shadow of twenty years ago from her, but unfortunately, those times were long gone and there was no trace to be found.
Finally realized what it meant to be haunted by dreams but close to love, and both of them sighed softly almost inaudibly.
She turned around slowly, and said slowly with the desolate aura that had traveled through the wilderness of time, "You are here." ”
The man looked at him calmly, his gaze seemed to have cleared all obstacles and finally reached his beloved, his voice was slightly hoarse, but it was difficult to hide his relief: "Yes, I am here." Just as before he ascended the throne, he spoke in a soft, warm tone, as if the gap between them was not twenty years, but only a brief parting.
She glanced around and said, "It's still the same place here." Twenty years ago, I was here on my last night before I left Dongli......"
"Here, I held you all night, reluctant to let go." He took her words, "After you leave, this is the place where I often come, if it is not kept as it is, how can I relieve the pain of longing?" ”
She looked at him with burning eyes, he was still handsome, but with a little more vicissitudes. She said: "Since that separation, we have met before and after I gave birth, and since then, it has been 14 years. ”
"yes, it's been so long in a blink of an eye." He exclaimed, "When you left Dongli, I was twenty years old and you were fifteen. It's similar to the current Ye'er and Myanmar'er, one of them is nineteen, the other is fourteen, and they also grew up as childhood sweethearts. It's a pity ......"
"It's a pity that now you beat the mandarin duck and broke it up."
He was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the void and said, "Yes, now I have become the executioner who ruined people's marriages. Do you think I'm doing something wrong? ”
Instead of answering, she asked, "Do you think our separation is wrong?" ”
He turned his head to look at her in a daze, his eyes were complicated, but he was silent for a while. It's a difficult question to answer, whether it's right or wrong, it depends on what kind of perspective you stand on. If you are in politics. Politically speaking, her departure has achieved each other's imperial causes, but from an emotional point of view, this separation has ruined a pure and deep relationship.
She knew what he thought, so she didn't ask any more, but said: "Since you ruthlessly broke them up, there must be your considerations, I can't comment, and I have no right to interfere." Everything is their creation. Just like us at the beginning, in the face of fate, sometimes no matter how strong a person is, he has to learn to bow his head. ”
"Over the years, you've become more and more open." He pursed his lips lightly, with a hint of self-deprecation.
She chuckled, but there was no smile on her face: "That's just a heart-wrenching realization." ”
He didn't know what she meant, when she was going to return to China to ascend the throne, and he was facing a battle for the prince. When the head of the court is powerful, he will only fully assist him if he marries his daughter as a concubine, and at the same time he also attaches a harsh condition, that is, he will never include this beloved woman in the harem.
Before she returned home, she cried and told him that as long as he would let her stay, she would give up the throne and be with him for the rest of her life. But he couldn't. It's not that she can't take the throne, but once she stays, it means that they all give up the throne, and facing them will be the fate of being killed by their respective enemies.
He sighed helplessly and changed the subject: "Do you know why I went to Phoenix Island when you gave birth?" ”
She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Isn't it to congratulate me?" ”
He sighed, "Maybe it's been too long for you to remember." When you were young, you said that when you gave birth, you wanted me to be by your side, preferably in the delivery room. ”
Tears suddenly welled up, how could she not remember, at that time they all thought that they would never be separated from each other, and her child could only be his, who knew that it would be fate in the end. She thought that all vows would disappear with her departure, but she didn't realize that even though she didn't give birth to a child for him, he still kept his promise.
She muttered, "It turns out that you rushed to Phoenix Island because of this." By the end, her voice was choked, and she turned away, hiding the tears in her eyes.
He laughed at himself: "It's a pity, I still did it too much, and in the end it was your husband Jun Lingyue who accompanied you in the delivery room, not me." ”
She covered her face with her hands, and finally burst into tears.
He saw that her shoulders trembled slightly, and his heart was flustered, so he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled down her hands. Seeing that her face was full of tears, he said helplessly: "Why are you crying?" ”
It was as if she had seen the brother Yan again, tender and warm, she no longer needed to hide it, she threw herself into his arms and sobbed.
He shuddered and froze for a long time, but finally reached out and hugged her. At this moment, she turned back into the little girl who belonged to him twenty years ago.
Ling Yue didn't think that he would see such a scene on the way back, and his heart shrank and stopped in a daze. After standing in the shadows for a long time, he turned and disappeared into the night.
