Chapter 321: Promise
The time is right, and the sky is slightly dark.
Lanterns were hung all over the palace. There are delicate and small lotus lanterns, rabbit lanterns, colorful glass lamps up to three or four feet high, and lifelike beauty lanterns.
All kinds of lanterns, shining brightly, dizzying.
Looking at the beauty under the lamp, it is a little more charming than the daytime.
Empress Dowager Li was in a good mood today, and after the palace banquet singing and dancing, she was still in high spirits, and enjoyed the lanterns in the company of Emperor Jianwen and Empress Yu.
A group of concubines accompanied him, and a group of girls from the Lotus Pond Academy were also fortunate to follow. It's just that there are too many people, and they can't take care of each other. The girl who fell at the end was dozens of meters away from Emperor Jianwen. It is impossible to meet face-to-face.
The anger of being coveted like a man's back quietly dissipated a little.
Xie Mingxi slowly fell to the end, and finally a smile appeared on his lips.
The sixth princess also walked slowly, side by side with Xie Mingxi. The two slowed down intentionally or unintentionally, and soon, they distanced themselves from the girls in front of them.
All the hustle and bustle has nothing to do with the two of them.
Xie Mingxi didn't speak, and neither did the sixth princess. The two of them have their own world, occasionally looking at each other and smiling.
Under the dazzling lights, Xie Mingxi smiled like a flower.
"Mingxi," the sixth princess suddenly said softly: "In the future, every year on the Shangyuan Festival, we will enjoy the lanterns together, okay?" ”
Xie Mingxi said lightly: "We are at the same table and sleeping in the academy, which is enough. ”
It's free to enjoy the lanterns together!
She didn't want to enter the palace again at all.
……
The sixth princess obviously heard the meaning of her words, was silent for a moment, and suddenly whispered, "Mingxi, give me three years." ”
Xie Mingxi was slightly stunned and looked up.
Two years?
What does this mean?
The sixth princess stopped, looked at Xie Mingxi with beautiful and deep eyes, and her voice was extremely low: "Within three years, I will solve your predicament!" ”
Maybe it's because what happened today is too hateful, or maybe it's because Xie Mingxi has tasted the powerless anger that he hasn't seen for a long time. Tonight, Xie Mingxi is emotionally unstable and prone to fluctuations.
In just a few words, the sixth princess hit Xie Mingxi's chest heavily, making her feel agitated and difficult to calm down.
Xie Mingxi looked at the sixth princess, as if a thousand words came to her throat, but she couldn't spit out a word.
That's your real dad!
He is the Son of Heaven above 10,000 people!
Is it worth it to anger the Son of Heaven for me?
Is it worth it for me to turn against my father?
The sixth princess seemed to be aware of all her surging and agitated hearts, raised the corners of her mouth silently, and said softly: "For you, everything is worth it!" ”
At this moment, the heart, which was as cold and hard as ice, collapsed with a bang.
Xie Mingxi's eyes were slightly hot, and the crystal light flashed in his eyes. What he said was completely different from what he thought in his heart: "I have a plan to deal with it." ”
The sixth princess looked at her deeply: "Illness is not the best strategy. ”
Xie Mingxi: "......"
Today's six princesses are terrifyingly keen.
Xie Mingxi's eyes darkened slightly, and he said in a low voice: "This is the safest way." ”
It was the Son of Heaven sitting on the dragon chair. Ruling the government and ruling the world. No one's strength can compete with it! No matter how confident and conceited she is, she can't have the idea of confronting her. can only find a way to escape the fate of entering the palace.
The sixth princess seemed to see Xie Mingxi's thoughts, pulled the corners of her mouth, and her eyes were firm and bright: "Mingxi, believe me." ”
Mingxi, I come from a different world.
In my world, there is no domineering imperial power, and there is no fate that cannot be resisted.
I will do whatever it takes for you!
……
Xie Mingxi's nose was sour, and he suddenly had the urge to cry.
She was never weak.
The hardships she had experienced in her previous life had made her resilient and unforgiving. Decades of court years have left a ruthless mark in her blood.
She has no habit of relying on others, let alone entrusting her fate to others.
It wasn't until this moment that she realized that she was not as ruthless and hard as she imagined.
It turned out that she was also so greedy for the warmth given by others.
It turns out that the taste of being cared for by such a relationship is so beautiful.
Xie Mingxi finally nodded: "Okay." ”
Just one word, but heavier than a thousand jun.
For the first time in her life, she tried to trust someone with all her heart.
Okay, I'll wait for you for three years!
The sixth princess raised the corners of her mouth and laughed.
The sixth princess is usually cold and silent, and rarely smiles so happily. At this time, the smile is brilliant and radiant, and all the surrounding lanterns have become a distant and blurred background, dim.
Only that smiling face, beautiful and bright.
Xie Mingxi stared at the sixth princess and laughed as well.
……
The sound of hurried footsteps interrupted the tranquility between the two of them.
"Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess, Miss Xie San,"
Zhilan came quickly, her cheeks flushed because of the hurry: "The emperor and the queen stopped at the gazebo in front of them to enjoy the lanterns and guess the lantern riddles." The emperor asked Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess to go and asked Miss Xie San to go too. ”
The smile in the eyes of the sixth princess was hidden.
Xie Mingxi also lost a smile on his face.
The two looked at each other, and both saw the anger in each other's eyes.
Emperor Jianwen was so heartbroken that he directly sent an edict and ordered her to accompany her.
Fortunately, Emperor Jianwen still has to show face and use the six princesses as a shield.
Zhilan waited for a moment before urging softly: "Please ask Her Royal Highness the Princess and Miss Xie San to come over!" Don't let the emperor and his mother wait for a long time. ”
Xie Mingxi settled down and nodded.
The sixth princess suddenly stretched out her hand and held Xie Mingxi's hand.
Xie Mingxi was stunned and turned his head to look at the sixth princess.
The sixth princess has regained her former virtue of "being withdrawn and few words" and "expressionless", and her true emotions cannot be seen from her face. did not explain why he held Xie Mingxi's hand.
A pair of friends working hand in hand, although a little intimate, is not too much.
Perhaps, the sixth princess wants to use this move to declare the close friendship between the two to everyone. In this way, it can also make everyone less guessing and suspicious.
Xie Mingxi was quickly relieved and held the hand of the sixth princess with his backhand.
……
The two walked hand in hand to the gazebo.
The palace is full of luxury, and this pavilion is no exception. It is more than three times larger than an ordinary gazebo, and the pavilion is equipped with jade tables and chairs.
There are three words written on the gazebo, Yungui Pavilion.
Yunguiting was obviously deliberately cleaned up, clean and clean. Various lanterns are hung inside and outside the pavilion.
Empress Dowager Li was about tired and went back to the palace first. At this time, only Emperor Jianwen and Empress Yu sat in the pavilion, and several princes and concubines accompanied them.
The girls of the Lotus Pond Academy naturally stood in a circle around the pavilion, like the stars holding the moon.
Emperor Jianwen didn't know if he was admiring the lanterns, or the girls who were admiring the flowers, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was in a very happy mood.
The girls in front of them quietly got out of the way.
The sixth princess and Xie Mingxi appeared in front of Emperor Jianwen.
