Chapter 111: Changle
Changle threw herself in front of Chang'an's bed all of a sudden, and before she could speak, tears kept falling, she grabbed Chang'an's hand tightly, and said with joy and tears, "Great, eldest sister, you finally woke up, you finally woke up......"
When Chang'an saw Changle at first glance, he was a little sullen and couldn't come back to his senses.
In my impression, she didn't see Changle many times, but Chang'an had never seen Changle so enthusiastic. Her current appearance doesn't look like Shen Changle, but like another person.
Chang'an's eyes looked at Changle's body slightly, and when he saw that she was covered in splendid palace clothes, and the cuffs and plackets were all embroidered with fine gold threads, his heart sank suddenly.
She looked around and asked casually, "Where is the emperor?" ”
Changle heard Chang'an's words, Fang seemed to wake up and turn back, and a smile gradually appeared on his face, "Look at me, I was so happy and confused that I forgot to invite the emperor to come up." After that, she hurriedly beckoned Yixiang beside her and said, "The emperor is in the main hall, go and invite the emperor to come over." ”
Yixiang nodded vigorously, didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly trotted away.
Chang'an saw that Yixiang was walking away, looked at Changle with a low chin, and straightened the pearl cui on her sideburns for her, Fang Waner said, "Changle, tell the eldest sister, how did you get into the palace?" ”
Changle smiled, with a light smile in the corners of her eyes, and said softly, "My mother called me here, I will be sixteen years old soon, and I have reached the age of going out of the cabinet, and this year coincides with the emperor's election, so I was elected to the palace......" Speaking of this, a red cloud appeared on her face, and she smiled, "My mother said that the eldest sister's situation in the palace is not very good, so let me enter the palace, and I can help the eldest sister in everything." ”
Chang'an's heart suddenly shook, and he suddenly felt deeply uneasy.
When Changle entered the palace, where was he helping her, it was clear that he was going to push her into the abyss of no return.
was thinking about it, but it was Chu Luo who came in.
There was anxiety between his eyebrows and eyes, he stepped forward in three steps and two steps, grabbed Chang'an's hand, looked at her stupidly and said, "Are you okay?" Is there anything wrong with it? Does it matter? ”
He asked several questions in a row, so that Chang'an didn't know how to answer for a while.
She glanced down at the hand held by Chu Luo, she hadn't felt such a feeling for three years. His palm was so warm, but now in Chang'an's hand, he felt that it was hot and hot. She instinctively withdrew her hand and said gently, "Thank you for the emperor's concern, the concubine is fine." ”
Chu Luo's expression was slightly lost, he silently took his hand back, but he only looked at Chang'an and didn't speak.
Seeing this, Changle immediately leaned forward, held Chu Luo's hand affectionately, and a sweet smile bloomed on the corner of his lips again, "The eldest sister has just experienced a great calamity, Xu is frightened, let the eldest sister rest for a while, Changle will accompany the emperor to the main hall to have some snacks." ”
Chang'an was immediately stunned when he heard this.
Is this still her Changle? Is this still her sister Shen Changle?
The way she looks now is almost no different from Zhong Yuxiu when she was young.
Chang'an saw that Chu Luo was about to stand up and leave with Changle, at this time, her mind suddenly changed, and at the last moment before Chu Luo left the bed, she held his hand tightly, "Don't go." ”
She looked at him, tears shining in her eyes, "You stay with me for a while." ”
Chu Luo's heart trembled, almost without any hesitation, he suddenly let go of Shen Changle's hand, sat back in front of the bed, and looked at Chang'an Dao in a daze, "I will accompany you." ”
Changle stood at the moment, her face was slightly displeased, but she immediately returned to her former demeanor, and said warmly, "The concubine retires." ”
Chang'an looked at Changle's departing figure, and his eyes were endlessly cold.
"Chang'an."
Chu Luo gently called to her, pulling her back from her thoughts. With a slight force of his hand, he pulled her into his arms, and said in a deep voice, "Chang'an, do you know how worried I was about you when I saw you fall there?" Thankfully, you're okay now, and everything is fine. ”
Chang quietly leaned on Chu Luo's arms, her chin resting on his shoulder, obviously it was such a familiar temperature, but she couldn't feel a trace of warmth.
In the past three years, an insurmountable gap has been drawn between them, and no matter how hard they try, they cannot cross it.
Thinking like this, her eyes were still warm, with a smile as faint as a light cloud, and she slowly spoke, "Did the emperor rescue the concubine from the Chonghua Palace?" ”
Chu Luo's eyebrows relaxed, and the corners of his lips had a little smile, "It's okay if you're okay." ”
Chang An couldn't help frowning when he heard this, "But you know it's dangerous there......"
"For you, I don't even want my life, what is this." He squeezed her hand tightly, pressed it to his face, and smiled softly, "Fortunately, you're okay, otherwise I won't forgive myself in my life." ”
Chang'an's heart suddenly swelled up with emotion for no reason, and the emotion at that moment was real, but apart from being moved, there was no emotion.
She looked at him, as if she suddenly remembered something, and her eyes sank slightly, "But...... Chonghua Hall is gone...... It was I who burned down the Chonghua Temple...... I ......"
"It's just a palace, don't worry." Chu Luo's tone was warm and deep, and it poured deep into Chang'an's heart, "As long as you like it, I can build a hundred, and a thousand Chonghua halls will be given to you." ”
Chang'an smiled lightly, "But it was left over from the previous dynasty, and the old ministers of the court will definitely oppose it, I ......"
"Then let them go." Chu Luo's tone was cold and short, "I am the emperor, what is there to be afraid of, the palace is gone, just build another one." ”
Chang'an's heart became softer and softer, and she suddenly felt a little aggrieved, "Your Majesty, do you know that the concubine has been in the Chonghua Palace for three years, the front is grounded by you, and the back is locked in the Chonghua ......Palace" At this point, she paused, gritted her teeth secretly, and said word by word, "In the days and nights of the Chonghua Palace, there is not a moment when I don't think about the emperor, think about the emperor, and think about our Yunjing ......"
An indescribable guilt gradually appeared on Chu Luo's face, he held Chang'an's hand tightly and tightly, and his voice was as firm as a rock, "Chang'an, don't worry, it was all my fault before, and I will never treat you like this in the future." From now on, as long as I am here, no one can hurt you. As for the Chonghua Palace...... If it is burned, it will be burned, and if it is sad, it will only increase the upset if it is kept, and it is better if it is gone. ”
The heartache was aroused again, and the smile on Chang'an's face gradually faded.
She is about to be thirty years old, thirty years old, and for a woman, the youth is long gone. She can't compare to Shen Changle's youth and beauty, and she can't even compare to the newcomers in the palace, the only thing she can do is to let Chu Luo keep this guilt, as long as he reads it, he will be tolerant of her.
Shen Changan's fire is really at the right time.
Thinking of this, Chang'an condensed slightly, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of sourness, "Your Majesty, concubine...... I still want to meet Yun Jing......"
Chu Luo's eyes gradually lit up, and he said with a deep bow, "I have already sent someone to summon Concubine De over, and she should already be at the door at this time." I told her to bring Yun Jing. With that, he raised his head to He Sheng outside the door, and He Sheng immediately went out to invite Concubine De and the four princes in.
"Mother!"
Yun Jing ran towards Chang'an like a gust of wind, and Chang'an bent down and hugged him into his arms.
Yun Jing smiled briskly and leaned his head heavily into Chang'an's arms.
Zhou Ruohua Yingying stepped forward and bowed to Chang'an, "The concubine has seen the emperor and the concubine." ”
She was also holding a child in her hand, and the child looked at Chang'an timidly, and called in a low voice, "Mother Shen." ”
Chang'an looked at it and was suddenly shocked, "Yun Ke! ”
She hadn't seen Yun Ke for many years, and Yun Ke was eight years old at this time, much taller than when Chang'an had met him before. Chang'an was pleasantly surprised, grabbed Yun Ke with one hand and hugged him to the bed, and said in a low voice, "Why are you here too?" ”
Yun Ke hadn't opened his mouth yet, but Ruohua covered his lips and laughed first.
"The concubine wants to congratulate the concubine on her happy son." Ruohua smiled gracefully, stretched out his hand and pushed Yun Ke in front of Chang'an.
Chang'an was a little stunned, "What? ”
"Chang'an." Chu Luo held her hand, the tenderness and approval in his eyes were intertwined, and his tone was extremely gentle, "This is Queen Li's wish before her death, I want to give her biological son Yun Ke to you to raise." ”
Chang'an was stunned at the moment, as if he couldn't believe what he heard, "What did the emperor say?" ”
"Guifei Niangniang, this is indeed the queen's last wish, because you have been living in the Chonghua Palace, the eldest prince was raised by the concubines, and now that you are out, the eldest prince and the fourth prince can return to you."
Chang'an still couldn't believe what was happening in front of her, but when she saw the sure expressions of the emperor and Zhou Ruohua, she gradually believed that all of this was true.
She, Shen Chang'an, suddenly changed from an abandoned concubine in the cold palace to the mother of two princes.
She is still Shen Guifei, but she is more glorious than before.
She was overjoyed and hugged the two children tightly in her arms, tears streaming down her eyes.
Chang'an suddenly felt at this moment that all the hardships she had suffered before were worth it, all of them were worth it, Yun Jing came back to her, and she still had Yun Ke.
Now, she doesn't have to fear anything.
Yun Jing raised his head from Chang'an's arms, stretched out his little hand to pull Yun Ke's hand, and smiled sweetly, "Big brother." ”
Yun Ke suddenly smiled, and also stretched out his hand to clasp Yun Jing's hand, "Fourth brother." ”
Chu Luo looked at the two children, and unconsciously gave birth to a beloved son, he put the hands of the two tightly together, and said in a deep tone, "Yun Ke, Yun Jing, you are brothers, if you don't distinguish each other, Shen Guifei will be your mother concubine in the future." ”
The two children looked at each other and smiled, turned to look at Chang'an, and called out together, "Mother." ”
Chang'an touched Yun Ke's head lovingly, and stroked Yun Jing's shoulder. All of a sudden, her heart was filled with joy that she had never felt before.
That joy is real, Ren Chang'an thought of Yun Jinglai more than ten years later, and what he recalled was still this scene back then.
