It seems that even if Concubine Xian is reinstated, the emperor's heart has not been restored.

Everyone didn't know whether to be happy or jealous, thinking that Concubine Xian had not recovered her grace for the time being, most people would rather be favored by Su Youyi.

In the Star Picking Pavilion, the emperor and Su Youyi were each crooked on the couch reading a book.

To be precise, Su Youyi is crooked, and the emperor is overwhelmed by her, and she has to adjust her sitting posture from time to time.

Seeing that her eyes were sour, Su Youyi got up and yawned, "The emperor has been with me for a day, and the purpose of wanting to be angry with the virtuous concubine has been achieved, isn't the emperor leaving?" ”

Since only the concubines invited the emperor inside, no one dared to push him out.

Su Youyi suddenly felt that the world was spinning, it turned out that the emperor had lost the book and pressed her on the couch, and said with a cold face: "Who said that I stayed here for the sake of Concubine Qixian?" ”

Su Youyi just said casually, since the emperor denied it, it seems that this is not the reason.

She was just used by the emperor to deal with Concubine Xian, so now that she encounters a different situation, it is easy to associate with this place.

The emperor also figured this out and let her go, "If I say that I just like to stay here, can you believe it?" ”

Su Youyi thought for a while and said, "Believe." There are good memories between the emperor and the first emperor's father and son, and the concubines will like to come often. ”

Emperor: "......"

Isn't this woman extremely smart, why is there something she just can't figure out?

The emperor's face sank even more, "Then you can accompany me to the tower for a walk." ”

The four walls of the tower are ventilated, and there is no stove, so Su Youyi rarely goes up again after the summer. It's winter now, how could the emperor want to go there?

Su Youyi saw that his face was not good-looking, so she didn't ask, so she had to wear a thick fox fur and follow him.

As soon as she came out of the warm room to the courtyard, she immediately shivered and tightened her cloak.

The emperor couldn't bear to look at her, but didn't say anything, and immediately walked up to the tower, and when he reached the fourth floor, he stood at the position leading to the top floor and waited for her.

Su Youyi saw it, and stepped forward to hug his waist with interest.

The emperor lowered his head and saw her hugging him tightly like a child, he couldn't help but be a little amused, and jumped up to the top floor.

The wind was even stronger on the top floor.

Su Youyi wrapped her cloak tightly and sat on the edge of the bed, seeing what the emperor wanted to do.

The emperor glanced at her, "You know it's cold, won't you close the window?" ”

"Every time the emperor comes, he stands by the window and looks out, and he doesn't know what he is looking at. The emperor didn't speak, how could the concubines dare to close the window? ”

Now that he had spoken, Su Youyi couldn't wait to close the windows.

After the windows were closed, it was much warmer, and the emperor uncovered the brocade quilt on the bed, patted her, and motioned for her to lie down.

Su Youyi glanced at him suspiciously, and the big deal in her heart was to announce it in the day

, she has nothing to fear.

The quilt was warmer, but the emperor didn't go in, just sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her and said, "Do you want to know what I'm looking at every time I'm here?" I'm looking at what my father saw back then. ”

Su Youyi paused, "That...... What is the Emperor looking at here? Isn't it looking at the stars? ”

"It's not."

"I used to think it was, but then I realized that it wasn't."

The emperor walked to the window, as if he subconsciously wanted to open the window, Su Youyi hurriedly wrapped the brocade quilt tightly, and the emperor's outstretched hand retracted.

I almost forgot that Su Youyi was afraid of the cold, she was born thin and weak, not as strong and not afraid of cold as men.

He turned around and walked back, "Last time, someone in Yongshou Palace pretended to be a ghost, have you ever inquired about Yongshou Palace?" If so, you should know that there lived the most favored concubine Yi during the first imperial dynasty. ”

The emperor took the initiative to mention Concubine Yi, and Su Youyi didn't know how to answer for a while.

After she knew about this, she always thought that the emperor didn't let people live in Yongshou Palace because he hated Concubine Yi, and she didn't want him to take the initiative to mention it today.

Su Youyi had no choice but to nod.

The emperor continued: "Back then, there was Yongshou Palace, and my father built the Star Picking Pavilion. Everyone thought that it was because his father favored Concubine Yi, so he built a star picking pavilion next to her palace, and even when he looked at the stars, he had to see her palace. My mother also thought so, so she always thought that her father had no affection for her. ”

Su Youyi thought for a while and wondered: "But if Emperor Xian really wants to see Concubine Yi from time to time, why don't you go directly to her Yongshou Palace to see the stars?" ”

The Emperor smiled, "I also thought about this question when I was young, do you remember that I told you that I was here with my father to see the stars?" I woke up early that night and barely dared to fall asleep. Then I walked to the window, only to find that the place I could see most clearly outside this window was actually the palace of the concubine. ”

Su Youyi couldn't help but open her mouth, extremely surprised.

Could it be that the first emperor built the Star Picking Pavilion not to see Concubine Yi, but to see the emperor's mother?

This...... It's also incredible.

As an emperor, which concubine he likes can't he go directly to which concubine. In the palace? I also have to sneak a peek in the Star Picking Pavilion.

The emperor said: "I knew this when I was a child, but I never dared to associate it with my mother. Because my father never favored my mother or me, he was only indifferent to me. I was just one of a dozen of his sons, a very ordinary man, neither a descendant nor a elder, nor would he say flattering things to please him. ”

Even so, didn't the first emperor pass the throne to him?

Su Youyi vaguely understood something.

Because the first emperor had too many concubines and sons, his preferences could not be easily revealed, lest the women and children he really loved be framed.

This is how the first emperor loved someone, what he really loved was not Concubine Yi, who was close at hand, but the emperor's biological mother.

Looking at her suddenly realized expression, the corners of the emperor's mouth curled slightly, "You still reminded me of this." ”

"Me?"

Su Youyi was puzzled, and the emperor said: "You said that the deceased will become stars and watch us in the sky." It only then occurred to me that what I could see clearly from a high place was not what was around me, but from a distance. At that moment, I was sure that my father was not looking at Concubine Yi, but my mother. ”

It was also at that moment that he was sure that it was not a coincidence that he slept in bed with the first emperor that night when he was a child, it was the first emperor's forbearance and restrained love.

This father's love, which he had long understood, was more important than anything else to him.

Su Youyi thought to herself that she had made a contribution by inadvertently inserting willows, it seems that the emperor didn't bring her here to punish her, she should be thanked.

She wrapped her brocade quilt tightly and looked at the emperor, looking like she was waiting for a reward.

The emperor sighed, "Don't you understand what I've said so much?" Just because my father made my mother and me sad so much, I didn't want to learn my father's methods. Obviously who you like but who you want to snub whom, who you don't like and who you deliberately get intimate with. ”
