Chapter 147: A Lifetime of Freshness
A salute came from outside the dormitory: "Slaves and maids (small ones) see everyone." ”
Hua Qingrao, Snow Kite, and Si Luo glanced at each other, and stopped their words together.
The door was opened by the waiter, and Zhao Xuan slowly walked in in a bright yellow dragon robe.
Hua Qingrao looked at him with unconcealed joy in her eyes, and suddenly felt sad in her heart. The man in front of him is the noble son of heaven in this country, and he is also obedient and tender to her.
But she couldn't afford all this he had given, and even her broken heart was no longer with her.
"Slaves and maids (small ones) see everyone." The snow kite and Si Luo, who were standing behind her, leaned over and saluted.
Hua Qingrao also reacted, took two steps forward, and saluted: "Concubines see..."
She felt a sudden force grab her wrist, and before she realized what was happening, she fell into a warm embrace.
A hoarse voice rang in her ears: "You have finally returned to my side safely." ”
Snow Kite and Si Luo saw Zhao Xuan tightly hugging the stunning woman in his arms, and at this moment his expression seemed to be holding a lost and recovered treasure, but he was afraid that he would lose it again in the next second.
They lowered their heads and slowly retreated with the other chamberlains, leaving only Hua Qingrao and Zhao Xuan in the room.
Hua Qingrao's hand hesitated for a long time, and rested it slightly on his waist. She frowned slightly, and said hesitantly: "Everyone, Qingrao is just a lowly woman, and she doesn't deserve to be treated like this." ”
Zhao Xuan didn't understand the meaning of her words, and said with a smile: "I said you are worth it, you are worth it." ”
Worth? Even if she would kill him one day, would he think it would be worth it?
Hua Qingrao pulled out a wry smile, "In case one day everyone loses their freshness to the concubines, they won't say it like this now." ”
Zhao Xuan let go of her, looked at her with pity in his eyes, picked up a wisp of green silk with his fingers, and slowly approached her ear, and the warm breath sprayed on her neck. "Thanks to your appearance, I finally have a woman in my life who can be fresh for a lifetime."
Hua Qingrao's pupils twitched, she bit her lip, and did not speak.
If she had known him earlier, would she have chosen him? But this is how fate mocks.
The days when she was robbed made her see her heart clearly. Even if Zhao Yu calculated her and used her from beginning to end, she still fell in love with him. Even though she knew that it was a moth to the fire, she still fell in love with him desperately.
Zhao Xuan hugged her again, but this time she was extraordinarily gentle. "Don't leave me again, I just lost a child and don't want to lose you again."
He raised his head, looked at her expectantly, and said word by word: "Don't leave me in this life, promise me, okay?" ”
Hua Qingrao's heart tightened, and she opened her mouth and didn't say anything for a long time.
How could she open her mouth to deceive him? How can she afford this vow? Maybe it was a mistake for her to go back to the palace.
She lowered her head and said with a little lack of confidence: "Everyone, the concubine is a little tired, please go back." ”
Zhao Xuan stared at her, trying to find out the reason for the abnormality on her face, but found nothing. He put down the hand holding her with some disappointment, and pretended to be relaxed: "You can rest first, I will come to see you tomorrow." ”
That being said, he stood still and didn't move, as if waiting for something.
Hua Qingrao knew what he was waiting for, waiting for her to keep him. But she didn't know what kind of identity to keep him, she knew that she already had Zhao Yu in her heart, but she had to accept his kindness to her safely, which made her feel a deep sense of guilt, and she couldn't say it at all.
Zhao Xuan looked at the silent stunning woman in front of him, looking at her fairy appearance, for the first time he had a sense of powerlessness, this feeling made him, the self-proclaimed son of heaven, very frustrated.
He turned and walked towards the temple door, his steps getting heavier and heavier. No matter how slow you go, there is a time when you finish. When he took the last step, the last trace of expectation in his heart was gone.
He stood upright, his face regaining the look of an emperor. He opened the door and left without a hint of nostalgia.
Hua Qingrao stood in place, raised her head and looked at the unclosed temple door, the night outside the door was extremely cold.
In the early morning of the next day, Hua Qingrao got up early, and was served by the snow kite, put on her clothes, combed her hair in a bun, and went to the queen to say goodbye with a hand stove.
Although Daliang is still in a state of late autumn, Hua Qingrao's body can't stand the cold anymore after this toss. She sent someone to the inner library early to ask for a hand stove, and the inner library saw that she was now everyone's top favorite, so she naturally didn't dare to slack off.
Although it was not yet time, she sent someone to hurry up and find a new one and sent it to her temple.
When Hua Qingrao went to ask for peace, even the queen hadn't finished dressing up.
When the queen came out, the rest of the concubines had already arrived.
As soon as she walked out, she saw Hua Qingrao's frozen and slightly pale face, and then looked at the clothes she was wearing, and she was still holding a hand stove in her hand, so she said with pity: "Sister Ying, this is not yet winter, she is so afraid of the cold, what should I do in winter?" ”
Wen Zhaoyi looked at Hua Qingrao's face, "Look at this little face, the concubines are distressed when they look at it." She suddenly changed her words, "But Sister Ying is so afraid of the cold, she really doesn't look like a person from Daliang, but like a person from Beiyan and Nanyan." ”
Hua Qingrao was shocked, and there was still a soft smile on her face: "The concubine has always been so afraid of the cold, but she really doesn't look like a person from the big beam, so she makes the ladies see jokes." ”
The queen glanced at Wen Zhaoyi with a little reproach, and said softly to Xue Kite: "Why don't you quickly put the cloak on your hand on your master, don't freeze out anything else." ”
"Don't be anxious, the queen mother, people are now everyone's top favorites." A coquettish and languid voice came from outside the hall.
Hua Qingrao turned her head to look at the voice, and saw Concubine Zhang Xian wearing a cinnabar red scrolling fairy skirt and a snow-white fox fur cloak, and walked in gracefully.
Her bulging belly was obscured by the loose dress, and she would have been almost five months old in the long run. But she didn't have any excess fat on her body, and her complexion was brighter and more beautiful than before.
Everyone stood up and saluted: "The concubine sees the virtuous concubine." ”
The queen watched her walk in with a smile and teased: "Who can compare to your sister who is this top pet!" Her eyes turned to some concern, "Sister, why did you come out when you were inconvenient?" ”
Concubine Zhang Xian was praised by the queen, and the smile on her face was even stronger. She carelessly lifted the golden hairpin on her hair bun, didn't even look at the queen, and sat leisurely in her place.
After sitting down, she lazily supported her chin with her hands, looked at the queen with provocative eyes, and said with a smile: "The concubine has a dragon fetus in her body, and her body is inconvenient, so she won't ask the queen to say goodbye." ”
Hua Qingrao glanced at the cinnabar red trolling fairy skirt on her body, from pomegranate red to cinnabar red, her desire was really becoming more and more uncontrollable.
The queen's face remained unchanged when she sat in her position, but her voice was a little harsh: "Since my sister knows that she has a dragon fetus, then don't run around." ”
Concubine Zhang Xian covered her mouth and smiled, "I heard that Ying Jieyufu has a great life and will not die, so the concubine naturally wants to come over to see it." ”
