Chen Qingqing was embarrassed, she had also calculated over the years, and she had made even more mistakes, but she never saw the queen clearly and the emperor clearly. But Concubine Yi in front of her was looking forward to her answer, as if she couldn't say it. "It's a bit unclear, and there were a lot of rumors in the past. But there was still little evidence. ”

After a slight pause, Chen Qingqing said: "Anyway, the queen is the queen, not you and I can shake it." Presumably you don't know that the emperor went to Chonghua Palace today, saying that he would accompany the emperor for a day. Tell the imperial dining room to send lunch and dinner over, and it is not a matter of importance, and no one can disturb it. This is the biggest face given to the queen. ”

Hearing such words, the anger in Bai Suyu's heart subsided suddenly. It's not that I'm not angry, it's that I don't have the energy to be angry. "What my sister said is that the emperor did give the queen a big face. Even though I entered the palace late, I also knew that Chonghua Palace was the residence of the emperor and queen when they got married.

Now there are rumors in the palace that the queen is having an affair with the prince, saying that the queen is shameless, and she has a private meeting with the prince in the palace. How many people believe such a vivid description? But the emperor was at this time, and he stayed in the palace with the queen for a day, and it really gave the queen enough face as my sister said. Bai Suyu suppressed the tears rolling in her eyes, because she was too hard, she felt chest tightness and wanted to vomit.

Seeing that her face was so ugly, Chen Qingqing had no choice but to gently stroke her back.

"Sister, don't worry, I won't say these words again in the future." Bai Suyu closed her eyes in pain, locking all the hatred in her heart. "It's useless to say it, you can only waste your mental energy, it's better not to say it."

"My sister must be relieved, the matter has come to this point, it is important to preserve your relationship with the emperor." Chen Qingqing forgot how long it had been since she had seen the emperor, and how long the emperor hadn't talked to her. Even the last time they met, she didn't remember what the emperor said. In her heart, the emperor is just a vague shadow, majestic and tall, and it is never something she can see clearly.

Lan Xin woke up groggily and saw that the sky had completely darkened, and it was pitch black without lighting in the room. Stretching out his hand and not seeing his five fingers, he naturally couldn't see the person he wanted to see, Lan Xin's first reaction was to quickly reach out and touch Hongli beside him. It's a pity that until she touched the edge of the bed, she never touched Hongli's body.

Suddenly got up, Lan Xin's heart was deeply lost, didn't he say that he would accompany himself here? How come you wake up only with half of your bed empty?

"Jinlan ......" Lan Xin called softly, only to feel that his throat was a little dry.

Outside the house, there was not a single movement, not even the sound of the wind. Lan Xin was a little melancholy, and had to call Jinlan again, but there was still no movement. This silence was terrifying, so terrible that I could clearly hear how weak and weak my heartbeat was. Slowly sitting up, Lan Xin tried to find the flower plate shoes resting under the bed.

finally touched the shoes, and Lan Xin quickly put them on. His eyes were slightly adjusted to the darkness, and he could vaguely see the furnishings in the room. What's more, I have lived in this Chonghua Palace for a long time, and I always have a little familiarity in my memory. Slowly walked to the door, Lan Xin was about to push open the door, but heard a slight sound in the window lattice. She then turned around, and suddenly saw a starry sight full of stars, one by two, one by two, and suddenly appeared in front of her.

Flying, surrounding, from here to there, it was only a moment's work, and the inner bed was full of such flickering points of light. Like a starry sky, it is so bright that people can't help but take a few more looks. However, these points of light are much closer than the stars, as if they can reach out and reach them.

From the window, there were constantly points of light coming in, and Lan Xin walked over slowly, during which she had clearly seen that those points of light were fireflies. There were more fireflies, and there was no buzzing sound of flapping wings in my ears, and I gently closed my eyes, as if I was in the grass. It's a very pleasant feeling and it's amazing.

When Lan Xin stopped in front of the window, the familiar figure finally came into view.

Hongli stood facing the window, holding a bag in his hand, and after shaking it carefully, a few fireflies flew out of the small mouth and came in towards the window. And Li Yu was on the side, handing over the rest of the small bags. Lan Xin took a cursory glance, and there were really a lot of bags of green light.

"Your Majesty ......" There was a hint of softness in his tone, and Lan Xin was a little moved. You're ......"

"You're up." Hongli realized that Lan Xin quietly stuck to the left side of the window lattice, and looked at him cautiously.

"It's all Li Yu's bad, slow hands, and it took a lot of effort to catch these fireflies. Otherwise, I should have put them in the inner chamber a long time ago. As soon as you open your eyes, you can see the stars in the sky. Not only that, but I also had people pick a lot of new hibiscus from the lotus pond and prepare a lot of bottles to plug in.

Smelling the faint fragrance of flowers, looking at the bright spots, even in this inner room, there is also a lakeside lawn, comfortable and comfortable. ”

Li Yu couldn't help but smile and said: "It's all to blame for the clumsy minions and delayed for a while." Fang Cai heard Niangniang call Jinlan again, and knew that Niangniang had woken up and didn't dare to go inside to disturb, so he was wronged that the emperor could only slowly put the fireflies into the inner room from this window, and took off to dance the effect. I also hope that the mother will forgive her sins. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lan Xin knew that Hongli had a lot of thoughts, but he didn't want him to be willing to use these thoughts to please himself.

Hongli smiled gently, his eyes full of gentleness: "This is the cave room when I married you, I remember that I promised you to take you to travel through the mountains and rivers, and enjoy the scenery, but we rarely have the opportunity to go out for a walk at night, so I had to come up with this method, and I hope Lan Xin you don't dislike it." ”

Slowly lowering his head, Lan Xin didn't make a sound.

"Li Yu, keep putting it in, and when there are fireflies sent in later, you still slowly let it in. There were also people who put hibiscus in. Hongli chuckled lightly and said, "I'll come in with you." ”

After that, Hongli locked the bag in his hand, and walked into the wing room from the main entrance after three or two steps around the corridor.

Lan Xin greeted the door, and was lifted up by Hongli with only a slight blessing. "I wanted to summon you to have dinner with me, but you slept soundly and didn't want to wake you up. It just so happened that I saw that the famous Jiangnan food was sent at night, sugar lotus root, and I remembered that Lan Xin once said that you most want to go to the lake with water and stars at night, pick lotus at night, and peel fresh lotus seeds to eat. Taste the crisp lotus flesh wrapped in bitter lotus core.

I have someone do it, and when the newly picked lotus pods are delivered, I can peel them with you and taste them. Hongli grabbed Lan Xin's hand, and gently put the firefly that had not yet been released in the palm of her hand, and the mouth of the bag was slightly loosened, and there were light spots one by one, fluttering their wings and flying out.

Those fireflies seemed to have spirituality, and they seemed to be able to understand the emperor's words, only around the two of them, flying and spinning, and Yingying did not go. It's extraordinarily good-looking.

"I feel guilty in my heart, and I always feel sorry for you." Hongli held Lan Xin's hands and gently pressed them against his heart. "At this time, if I don't say it, I'm afraid there will be no better time in the future."

Lan Xin couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Hongli's serious appearance. Pressed his index finger to his lips: "Don't say it, the emperor doesn't say it, the concubines and the emperor have been married for more than ten years, how can you not know that the emperor has concubines in his heart." The past is gone with the wind, and the most important thing is the future.

The harem is harmonious, the government and the opposition are united, and the emperor governs the Qing Dynasty steadily, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and live a prosperous and good life, which is the best. You don't have to worry about the things on the side. The concubine may have been wronged, but no matter when, please ask the emperor to believe that for the sake of the emperor, the concubine is willing. ”

Lan Xin didn't let Hongli repeat those words, one was that she didn't want to be entangled in such hardships. Second, I also hope that the emperor can let go of these things. Sometimes a necessary layer of obscurity is very important, and it is much better not to pierce it than to pierce it. What's more, Lan Xin just hoped that the emperor would not listen to those rumors, but he didn't mean to feel guilty.

After all, this is what she did voluntarily.

was already very moved in his heart, Lan Xin was thinking about himself all the time. Hongli was a little ashamed, he shouldn't have been so suspicious of her. After all, over the years, she has been silently by her side, without regrets. Isn't that enough? How can the thing of chasing after the wind and shadows be taken seriously? The more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt in his heart, and he couldn't think of a reason to convince himself not to blame himself.

My heart hurts a little, not for myself, but for her. "Lan Xin." Hongli gently called her name and took the person into his arms. "In the days to come, I will definitely believe in you, and with you by my side, my emperor will be at ease and comfortable."

"Your Majesty......" Lan Xin wept, her eyes full of emotion. The concubines also hope to be by the emperor's side for a long time. ”

Li Yu put the fireflies almost away, and then closed the window lattice lightly. Then he ordered the minions who had placed the lotus flowers to look down and retreat. Although through the doors and windows, the fragrance of lotus flowers is faint. But when a gust of wind passes, this faint aroma will blow into the inner bed, mixed with a little sweet smell.

This kind of mood is the stability and comfort that the Forbidden City lacks. Although it was only a short time together, it had melted the ice in each other's hearts.

That night, Lan Xin and Hongli talked about many things in the past, looking at the starry room through the curtain, there would always be endless words. I don't know how long it took to talk, but the two finally fell asleep tiredly. Even in his sleep, the sweet and happy smile on his face is still clear.
