Calamus always thought that her heart would not waver in loving someone, but now she has hesitation.

Seeing that she didn't say a word, Sun Wen asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

Calamus came back to her senses and shook her head: "It's nothing. ”

Holding her in his arms, he always felt a little unreal, and Sun Wen made fun of himself in his heart for being so troubled and lost.

He helped her: "It's cold at night, I'll help you go in and rest early." ”

Calamus couldn't refuse, and said obediently: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Everything here is very simple, as soon as I walked into the room and felt cold, there was only a thin quilt on the bed, and Sun Wen secretly saw all this in his eyes.

Seeing him * taking calamus, he was startled: "The emperor ......" He has broken the palace rules when he comes to Yongxiang, and if he stays overnight, he will not be able to eat and walk around.

"I'm a little tired, I'll lie down here for a while." Sun Wen was afraid that she would not rush to jump on the bed, and said, "I still feel thirsty, you go and pour me a cup of tea." ”

Calamus frowned: "Your Majesty, this is Yongxiang, you shouldn't ......"

"I know that I will leave when I lie down, and I will never stay overnight." Sun Wen begged, "Go and pour tea, I'm really thirsty." ”

Calamus couldn't do it, so she owed it: "The concubine will go." ”

After she left, Sun Wen cursed in a low voice: "This kang is really cold enough." ”

When Calamus came back, Sun Wen took the tea she handed over, and spit it out after only taking a sip: "Poof! ”

"The Emperor's ......"

Sun Wen endured the unpleasant taste in his mouth and forced a smile: "It's a little hot." ”

"Do you want the concubine to blow it?"

"No, you can get ready for bed."

"The concubine still has to go to see Ping'er."

"There is Fu Rongbao's uncle, what are you worried about, I have already slept after rubbing the medicine, let's see her tomorrow morning."

Calamus was very puzzled by his behavior today, but after a day of tossing, she did feel tired, took off her coat and went to the kang.

Getting into the quilt, Sun Wen rubbed the soles of her feet with his feet: "Is it warm?" ”

He rubbed the ground and tickled, but Calamus was deliberately calm: "It's very warm." ”

Sun Wen smiled, took her and leaned on his shoulder: "Actually, it's not bad to have me by your side, at least I can give you a warm bed, right?" ”

Calamus then understood that his behavior just now was to warm himself up, she took a deep breath, stopped talking, and the words changed to her lips: "What kind of crooked reasoning is this?" ”

But my heart really moved, faintly.

Sun Wen pushed her whole person down under him, meaningful: "I just said a few days ago that two people will become more and more inseparable from each other after getting along for a long time, do you believe it now?" ”

Calamus greeted him: "It's not too early, it's time for the emperor to return to the Chengqian Palace." ”

Hearing this, Sun Wen's temper came up again: "Something without conscience, I came to Yongxiang secretly from afar, and you didn't feel moved at all when it was a confession and a warm bed." ”

After saying this, he looked at Calamus and looked at himself with a smile: "What should the concubine do to tell the emperor that she is excited?" ”

"I ...... I forgot for a moment......" He wiped his hand to his lips, and his face changed, "Look, it's all bleeding." ”

Sun Wen approached the calamus: "Really, it's bleeding, I rarely get hurt, what do you say?" ”

The scorching breath grew heavier and heavier.

Calamus stretched out her hand to caress it, pretending to be sorry: "It's bleeding, and the concubine is also very distressed when she sees it." Otherwise, the emperor will go back to rest first, and then come to see the concubine when the injury on his mouth is healed? ”

With such a teasing, the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing together.

Sun Wen got up and put on his clothes: "I should go." ”

"The concubine is not sent."

Before leaving, he couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and touched her earlobe with his finger: "I'm really gone." ”

"The emperor walks slowly."

Besides, even Sun Wen himself felt like Lu Su, so he really left.

Listening to the sound of his departing footsteps, Calamus turned around, and her mood was difficult to calm down for a long time.

She was very hesitant, and she felt hesitant from the inside. She has always been a person who bravely faces life and strives for life, she thinks she knows her heart very well, but after so many things, she begins to doubt herself. In addition to being uncomfortable, she secretly grabbed the corners of the quilt, still feeling uncomfortable.

Early the next morning, Wen Jieyu had just gotten up and was having breakfast, when it was rumored that the queen had arrived.

She naturally frowned and swallowed the hot porridge in her mouth: "Hurry up and invite the queen in." ”

Su Ruyuan was wearing an ochre-colored dark peony large-sleeved shirt, which added a bit of grace to her stunning face. She first looked at Wen Jieyu from head to bottom, and then saw the food on the table, and smiled: "It seems that this palace has disturbed my sister for breakfast." ”

Wen Jieyu had been standing meekly aside, and when she heard Su Ruyuan say this, she smiled and said, "The concubine didn't eat much for breakfast. Then he instructed the palace people: "Remove these." ”

"My sister won't eat it?"

"The concubine has already eaten." Su Ruyuan owed: "Queen Mother, please take a seat." ”

Su Ruyuan didn't pursue this issue anymore, and sat straight on the upper seat, seeing that Wen Jieyu was still standing, she motioned to her: "Sister, don't stand, sit down." ”

Waiting for Wen Jieyu to sit down, Su Ruyuan began to look around the hall: "Sister, it's really quiet here, no wonder the emperor always likes to run to you." ”

"The mother laughed." Wen Jieyu always kept her head down, "The emperor often mentions in front of his concubines that the queen mother governs the harem well. ”

Su Ruyuan snorted suddenly: "Sister's words are obviously coaxing the palace." ”

"The concubine doesn't dare."

Su Ruyuan said: "If the palace governs the harem well, why can't even Yongxiang be taken care of?" ”

"The concubine doesn't understand what the queen mother means."

Su Ruyuan asked faintly: "Doesn't my sister know, the emperor ...... Went to Yongxiang last night? ”

Su Ruyuan, who had been keeping her head down, looked up at Su Ruyuan in a daze, and then smiled: "Does Niangniang mean Concubine An?" Concubine An has always been favored by the saints, and now she is pregnant with a dragon species, and the emperor should go to visit her. ”

"Do you have to go for a night visit?" Su Ruyuan accentuated her tone, "Last night, my sister was supposed to be served, but the emperor secretly went to Yongxiang to see Concubine An, isn't my sister uncomfortable at all?" ”

Wen Jieyu still smiled lightly: "As a concubine, the concubine naturally understands that the king's favor needs to be stained with rain and dew in the six palaces, so how can the concubine enjoy it exclusively?" ”

"My sister is really generous."

"The mother praised it falsely."

Su Ruyuan pursed her lips and smiled deeply: "I hope that in the future, when Concubine An gives birth to a dragon seed and comes out of Yongxiang, my sister can still be as calm as now." If that's the case, it's a blessing for the harem. ”

Wen Jieyu raised her head and smiled lightly: "If Concubine An successfully gives birth to the dragon seed, there will be more heirs, and the concubines will be happy for the emperor in their hearts." ”

Su Ruyuan held her chin with her hand, and her red nails were bright and eye-catching: "Really? ”

"Really."

Su Ruyuan suddenly laughed: "Hahaha...... Hahaha......"

She smiled more and more happily, and walked away quickly with the palace people.

waited until the harsh voice could no longer be heard, and Wen Jieyu got up.

"Niangniang......" The palace man on the side helped her, "How are you?" ”

Her face was slightly pale: "It's okay, go and prepare pen and ink, this palace has to write a letterhead." ”

"Yes."

Wen Jieyu looked up at the sky outside, and felt a pain in her heart. She turned and walked into the study, dipped her pen in ink, wrote a letter in square letters, dried it, and carefully folded it and walked into the inner hall.

A white pigeon was parked at the window, and she walked over and hid the folded letterhead on the pigeon's paws, smoothing the pigeon's feathers: "Go." ”

The dove understood her words, fluttered its wings and flew into the sky with a thud, disappearing above the palace.

When Wen Jieyu was contemplating and pondering, a voice came from outside: "Jieyu, the boss said that the emperor will come over in the morning." ”

"Hongu knows."

Wen Jieyu stood quietly for a long time, and did not make any preparations.

It wasn't until Sun smelled it and smelled the familiar dragon birthday fragrance that she turned around: "Your Majesty? ”

Sun Wen wanted to scare her, but she inevitably felt a little depressed when she saw it: "What are you thinking about alone by the window?" ”

Wen Jieyu smiled: "It's nothing, a person is fine and will be stunned for a while." ”

"Wen Hua." Sun Wen held her shoulder, "I was supposed to come over last night, but something was delayed, you won't blame me, right?" ”

She always had a smile on her eyebrows: "How could it be, the concubine knows that the emperor is busy with government affairs." ”

"I went to see her yesterday." Sun Wen didn't hide it in front of her, and there was a bit of indescribable joy in his expression, "I didn't want to pay attention to her, but I still couldn't help it." ”

In front of himself, he didn't even lie, but told everything about him and gladiolus. He was so happy, something must have happened last night.

"From the first day the emperor met her, he said that he didn't want to pay attention to her, but he still wanted to be with her." Wen Jieyu took his arm and sat down with him, "The emperor has always been a knife-mouthed tofu heart. ”

Sun Wen smiled: "You still know me best." Wen Hua, I only tell you about her because you reassure me. ”

"It seems that the emperor has already moved her."

Sun Wen glanced at her, but smiled silently.

Wen Jieyu handed him a cup of tea: "The emperor is affectionate and righteous to her, but the concubine has to say that now Concubine An is in Yongxiang, if the emperor visits several times, the queen will ...... It's not easy to explain. ”

"Queen? What did she say in front of you? ”

"Didn't say anything...... Wen Jieyu lowered her head to cover up.

Sun Wen snorted: "No, if you say this, you must have heard something." ”

Wen Jieyu smiled and said: "The emperor thinks too much, and the concubines really haven't heard anything." I just think that the queen has full authority to take care of the harem, so the emperor should save her some face, right? ”

"I have to give her face when I go to see people?"

Wen Jieyu was half funny: "The emperor personally ordered Concubine An to be sent to Yongxiang, and the queen will naturally mind." ”

Inside the Mansion of King Qi.

Because it is a remote area, it is still slightly cool at the summer solstice, so people here wear long-sleeved long shirts.

Bi Luo saw Sun Qi standing alone in the courtyard for a long time, so she brought a cloak: "Lord, it's windy here, beware of catching a cold." ”

Sun Qi clenched the letterhead in his hand, turned around and said to her, "You haven't recovered from the cold, why did you come out?" ”

"The concubine was lying down, so she went out for a walk, and when she saw that the prince had been standing, she brought her cloak."

"Thank you, Bilo."

Since she followed Sun Qi, she has always taken care of her meticulously in life, and Sun Qi has also treated her very kindly. Although she is a concubine, everything in her life is no different from that of a concubine.

Sun Qi pulled Bi Luo to the house: "Just now, King An sent a letter to this king, saying that the emperor may have to change the previous practice of separating fiefs. No, just after receiving the letterhead, the imperial court came to the holy decree to let the king return to Beijing with his family. ”

Bi Luo was surprised: "What do you mean?" ”

Sun Qi smiled: "It means that the emperor wants to take back the military power of our princes and concentrate the imperial power to order the world." ”

Biluo's face changed in shock: "That...... What should the prince do? ”

Sun Qi sighed: "This king doesn't know what the emperor will do. ”

From the moment his mother lost power and he was sent to this most remote place, he knew that Sun Wen would not let go of a few of their siblings. Sure enough, since Sun Wen repelled the Turks and returned triumphantly, the people's hearts have been stabilized, and he has taken advantage of the situation to change the previous court system and hold the government firmly in his hands.

Bi Luo couldn't help but hold his hand: "Lord Wang, what will happen when you return to Beijing?" ”

Sun Wen covered her hand: "It depends on the emperor's meaning." ”

Bi Luojia guessed: "Several princes are the emperor's own siblings, he shouldn't do anything to you, right?" ”

"Biluo, it's hard to say right now." Sun Qi said in a low voice, "I'm afraid, I'm only afraid...... The king's ministers died, and the ministers had to die. ”

"Then let's not go back." Bi Luo was already so scared that she burst into tears, "The concubine just wants to live peacefully with the prince." ”

Sun Qi shook his head: "No, this king must go back." ”

Because Sun An's letter also mentioned about calamus. The letter said that she was imprisoned in Yongxiang and did not see the light of day all year round.

For her sake, he had to go back.

Sun Qi stroked Biluo's blown bangs: "Biluo, although you follow me as a side princess, you have never had a good life." I have suffered a lot with me, and I will arrange for you to live as comfortably as possible in the second half of your life. ”

Bi Luo suddenly pulled out her hand: "What does this mean?" Does the prince want to drive the concubine away? ”

"It's not to drive you away, you will only suffer if you follow this king."

Bi Luo looked at him sadly: "Lord, the concubine has been a slave for many years, and she is not afraid of hardship. On the day she came out of the Inner Service Bureau, the concubine made up her mind to follow the prince for the rest of her life. She suddenly knelt down again, "I just ask the prince not to blame the concubine for hiding things." ”

"What are you hiding from this king?"

Bi Luo inhaled: "The slave maid is ordered by the emperor to be by the prince's side, monitor the prince's every move, and report any abnormalities immediately." She raised her head and looked at Sun Qi, "But please believe that the concubine has never done anything to be sorry for the prince." ”

Unexpectedly, Sun Qi was not surprised at all, and helped her up: "You don't say that this king also knows that you are ordered by the emperor, and as a courtier and a slave, you can only act according to orders, and this king will not blame you." ”

Bi Luo looked at Sun Qi with her eyes: "Lord Wang...... You're so forgiving......"

"It's not tolerance, it's that this king wants to live well." He knew that only by living well could he live up to the love of his mother and the sacrifice of calamus.

He can be where he is today, because they bought it with blood and tears.

Every time he thought of his mother and calamus, he felt palpitations and couldn't sleep, especially when he thought that calamus was forced to stay in the palace in order to save him, he felt even more guilty and miserable.

Sun Qi propped up the table and sat down: "Biluo, tell them to go down and prepare their things, and leave for Beijing early tomorrow morning." ”

"Lord ......"

Sun Qi muttered: "When I think of her being wronged and tormented in the palace, this king can't wait for a moment. ”

Bi Luo held his elbow: "The one in the prince's mouth, is she Concubine An?" ”

"How do you ......"

Bi Luo Xiaosuo smiled: "Several times, when the prince is sick or has drunk too much, he will always shout in his dreams 'calamus', 'calamus I'm sorry', 'calamus I miss you' and the like, presumably the prince's love for Concubine An is already very deep." ”

Sun Qi didn't deny it, just sighed: "If it weren't for that palace change, this king and her would live together very happily." ”

"But can the prince change anything when he goes back?"

Sun Qi shook his head: "Maybe nothing can be changed, but this king can no longer ignore it, she can give everything for this king, and this king should do something for her." ”

Bi Luo can't describe that feeling, her husband is thinking about other women, that person is no one else, but Concubine An Niangniang in the palace, she knows that he doesn't belong to herself, he didn't belong before, he doesn't belong now, and he won't belong in the future, but as a woman, she still feels like a fish in her throat for a woman who loves Sun Qi silently.

The most uncomfortable feeling is not that the other party doesn't love you, but that you still love him with all your heart knowing that he doesn't love you.

After being reminded by Wen Jieyu last time, Sun Wen really didn't go to Yongxiang to see the calamus, but just told Fu Rongbao to prepare some insults and clothes to send over. Calamus knew his intentions, and his heart was even more indescribable.

Sun didn't hear it, but she thought it was a good thing, at least she didn't have to know what to do when facing him.

However, Ping'er didn't see Sun Wen for a few days and began to chatter: "The emperor finally opened his heart to his mother, why didn't he come again?" You can't come during the day, but you can sneak in at night. ”

Calamus was funny and angry: "The injury on your body is itchy again, is it, just got better and started to be poor again, this is Yongxiang, the emperor has to think about it." ”

Ping'er pouted: "Where is this Yongxiang?" Clear...... It's obviously a small golden house, the emperor sent someone to send Xia Liang quilt and ice cubes, and also sent so many delicious food, which woman in Yongxiang has such preferential treatment? She touched Calamus's belly with her hand, "Don't hide it, Niangniang, the emperor is really sincere to you!" ”

"Ho! Ping'er is talking to me like this, should I reward you for something? Speaking of Cao Cao Cao arrived, Sun Wen appeared at the door wearing a eunuch suit, looking at their master and servant happily.

Calamus stood up and looked at the bright sky outside: "Your Majesty...... You...... How did it come? ”

Sun Wen walked in with a smile and hugged her: "Didn't Ping'er say just now that this is a small golden house, you have to come and see if it has been stolen, right?" ”

As soon as Sun heard this, even Calamus couldn't help laughing.

Ping'er was even more happy: "Please rest assured, the emperor can't take away the mother if there are slaves and maids." ”

Sun Wen laughed: "Well, I just like loyal people. He smiled slyly at Ping'er again, "Ping'er, you have a good rest here, I ...... Abduct the mother first. ”

Calamus pulled her hand: "Where does the emperor want to take his concubines?" ”

Sun Wen shrugged, the eunuch suit on his body made him look a few years younger, which made people laugh: "I am not very familiar with Yongxiang, I want to walk around." ”

Calamus let him take her hand, and the two walked side by side, the silent Yongxiang recalling their footsteps.

"Actually, the concubine is not familiar with Yongxiang."

"It's okay, it's good to just walk around like this."

He held Calamus's hand tightly like this, shuttling through the large and small halls of Yongxiang: "Do you know, I was born in Yongxiang back then. ”

In front of him, Calamus always spoke carefully: "The concubine has heard of it. ”

Empress Dowager Mingchun was relegated to Yongxiang because she gave birth to an abnormal child, and she did not live back in Renming Palace until Sun Wen was born.

Sun Wen sighed: "Now you are also in Yongxiang." ”

Calamus looked up at him slightly: "Does the emperor want to say that the concubine is like the Empress Dowager Mingchun?" ”

Sun Wen stared at her and shook his head abruptly: "I don't want you to be like the queen mother, she is too bitter, I hope you have a better life." ”

He was so lost that Calamus couldn't help but hold his arm.

Sun Wen touched her face: "Calamus." ”

"Huh?"

"Don't leave me." His breath passed over her face, "One day I'll let you leave Eternal Lane." ”

Calamus is afraid that "the emperor ......"

"Even if you still can't fully accept me in your heart now, don't say it." He lowered his head and reached out to touch her belly, "I don't want the child to hear that I am such a failure as an emperor. ”

Calamus grabbed his arm and increased his strength slightly: "Please give the emperor a little time to the concubine." ”

"yes, give each other a little time." He smiled, "Let's walk with me for a while." ”

"Okay."

Looking at their figures gradually moving away, a shadow suddenly appeared behind the wall, Wen Jieyu clutched her handkerchief, her eyes were full of hatred and resentment: "Your Majesty, when can you look back, the concubines will always love you behind you." She is unwilling, it is also ten years, why Sun Wen only regards herself as a confidante but loves the cold gladiolus like crazy.

She must make Sun Wen disheartened by Tang Yipu, and no longer wait for the attachment to her deep love.

After Sun Wen ordered the kings to return to Beijing, several princes returned to Beijing on time and entered the palace for a banquet.

Along the way, Sun An whispered to Sun Qi: "When you are halfway through the wine, you will leave under the pretext, and someone will pick you up and lead you to Yongxiang." ”

"I'm curious, how can you be so knowledgeable about every move in the harem?"

"My fief is the closest to the capital, and the emperor is not so guarded against me, so it is naturally not difficult to help you understand some things about Concubine An."

"You ......" At this time, when he met Sun Zheng, Sun Qi was busy keeping silent.

The three of them walked towards Ruitai with solemn expressions, and Sun Zheng said: "This time, the emperor took back our military power and recalled us back to Beijing. ”

Sun An responded: "The battle with the Turks made the emperor Longwei great, and he took advantage of the situation to show us a look." ”

Sun Qi smiled helplessly: "It's only because we didn't help him at the beginning, so that he had the opportunity to return triumphantly." ”

Sun Zheng and Sun Wen looked at him in unison: "You mean ......?"

"At the beginning, the emperor didn't actually ask us to promise to send troops to him, but to test us, and he even expected that a few of us would not agree. That's what gave him a chance. ”
