The turmoil of the Shangyuan Festival passed silently, and since no one was injured, everyone forgot about it as a small accident.

After that, my days continued uneventfully, like clear and crystalline water slowly passing by.

It wasn't until a few days later, by chance, that I missed an important document, and I thought that these documents would be handed over to the Queen Mother tonight, so I hurried back to Caiwei Palace to get it. Inadvertently, I passed by the Queen Mother's window.

I heard a faint voice coming from inside.

“…… She is too bold, what if she hurts the emperor? Even if it didn't hurt the emperor, it would ruin a girl's appearance. It is the voice of Aunt Miqing, the personal female official next to the Queen Mother, she is an old man who has served the Queen Mother since the Queen Mother became a concubine, and the new emperor married a family surnamed Xu outside the palace soon after he ascended the throne, but the Queen Mother trusted her extremely much, and still often entered the palace to serve and gossip.

"I'm afraid that she didn't have such a vicious idea when she hit at the beginning, and it was those little eunuchs who went up to hang the lanterns. I just want to use this matter to make her add a mistake, and by the way, let her be disgusted by the people in the palace. The Queen Mother's voice sounded faintly.

"And I can also catch a daughter of the Jia family." Aunt Miqing's voice sighed again.

The daughter of the Jia family?

I suddenly remembered that the fireworks and candles used in the palace were all paid tribute by the Hou Jia family of the Sheng Ting, and their daughter was also one of the eight of us.

This time there was an accident with the lantern, although the Queen Mother did not investigate it deeply, but she was really worried for several days.

“…… Although she looks like her, her heart is completely different. There was a hint of gloom in the Queen Mother's words.

"Niangniang, Qiyan Niangniang has been gone for so long, and now you treat the Liu family well. Why be sad about these little things? Aunt Miqing's voice came.

"Well, perhaps, it would have been better to settle this matter sooner...... "......

They say ...... Xue'e?!

My heart was shocked, something broke out of the ground in my heart, like a lantern that was accidentally lit that night, suddenly brightened by the flames.

I never thought that Xue'e, who was closest to me, and Xue'e, who was my best. Xue'e, who kept saying to me, "Actually, I don't want to fight for this name at all......

I left the Queen Mother's window in a trance, and cautiously returned to my own room, feeling difficult to calm down for a long time. For the first time, I realized that maybe falling in love with him would have to face far more difficulties and twists and turns than I could have imagined......

Because the person I love is the emperor of Daqi and the supreme of the world......

No matter what kind of secret is hidden in it, on the surface, this matter has passed so plainly, and it seems to have completely faded from the memory of the palace people. In fact, with the exception of a few people, I believe it has indeed withdrawn from the memory of the palace people.

And intentionally, or unintentionally, the palace people who serve around us have become more nuanced. I have become more and more cautious in my daily activities in the Café Palace.

I really can't decide what attitude I should have towards Xue'e. Reason tells me that I should pretend that nothing has happened, and let all the secrets be deposited in the deepest part of this magnificent palace, in the dark and invisible corners of my heart. But when I really faced this friend who grew up, there was still a trace of sadness in my heart.

Actually, I didn't blame her. Because I know that she is only longing for what she has been waiting for, just like me.

In just a few months, the life of the palace has made us little girls who are raised in the boudoir grow up quickly, and growing up always has to pay some price.

Fortunately, such days did not last long.

Only a month later, the Queen Mother made a decree, and the seven female officials around her gave her a generous gift. Let each of them leave the palace and return home, and marry on their own. And I was the only one who was transferred to the Caiwei Palace to serve personally.

All things have been made clear. It is said that the crowd that went to congratulate us was about to step on the threshold of our house.

I don't know what kind of mood I have, whether it's extreme joy or nervousness, maybe all of them, all of them condensed into a deep happiness that filled me to the ground, so that there was no room in my heart to think about the unhappiness and turmoil of the past. In my spare time, I couldn't help but think of the two wishes I had made on the lantern, but I didn't expect one of them to come true so quickly.

Following the Queen Mother's side and serving closely, the chances of seeing him have greatly increased.

And after the name was decided, he would be a little embarrassed when he saw me, and his face would be slightly red when we occasionally looked at each other.

And I will also feel the heat on my face, and I turn my head shyly, but there is a strange sweetness rising in my heart.

In my spare time, the Queen Mother often summoned me to her side, talked with me about homely gossip, and treated me like an ordinary relative.

Sometimes, the Queen Mother would ask about my family, and when she heard me talk about how surprisingly harmonious and affectionate the atmosphere between my father and mother had become after the Chinese New Year, she showed a look of relief. I was moved but also slightly surprised.

Of all the days I spent with her, the one I remember the most is that day.

It was a spring evening when gardenias were blooming. The half-bloomed flowers under the corridor are clustered together, and the white petals are as delicate as jade carvings, exuding a faint fragrance. The afterglow of the setting sun slowly spread out in the sky, and every grass and tree in Caiwei Palace was shaded with a light gold.

I was passing by under the porch in front of the Queen Mother's dormitory with a book, and then I saw him appear in the courtyard at some point.

The first time I saw him, I miraculously thought of my father, the same handsome and elegant, the same mighty and handsome, but he didn't have the radiant spirit of his father, but he had more warmth and profundity.

He just stood there, staring at something with the clearest and purest eyes I could ever describe, as if with this glance all the glitz and glamour of the world had been stripped away.

I looked over along the line of sight, and the Queen Mother stood quietly in front of the door with a figure as beautiful as water and a moon.

The sunlight blurred his eyebrows, but the blurred face faded the background behind her.

I looked around, and suddenly it occurred to me that the two of them seemed to be a whole world, and no one could get into it.

So, I lowered my head and quietly retreated. He didn't even say a word of resignation, and just retreated silently. It's an extreme faux pas, but at this moment, it feels the most appropriate. It seems that as long as there is a slight sound, it is also a blasphemy of the quiet and peaceful picture in front of you, which is the real faux pas.

At the moment of parting, I finally raised my head. Just at a glance, I vaguely saw a lilac paulownia flower gently falling from the branch of the tall peach.

There is a faint aroma in the air, as if ...... It's like a daughter red that has been hidden for decades, and when she opens the wine bottle, a faint fragrance that has been precipitated over the years floats faintly in the air, free and diffused......

It is a season of pale sycamore flowers, and the light purple flowers fall as if they have fallen on the curtain of the ground dyed from the purest green.

The flowers fell silently.

After a long time, she and him looked at each other in a trance, and the sixteen-year parting was just a snap of the fingers, but this moment of staring at each other has gone through tens of millions of years.

At this time, she was already a concubine in the harem of Daqi, and at this time, he was no longer the guard of the palace.

She is not Su Mi, and he is no longer Ni Tingxuan, the only thing that has not changed is the relative eyes of the two.

This glance is like the first sight I saw after waking up under the cliff, like the one full of concern on the grassland of the Jin Ge Iron Horse. It's like a dim gaze in the warm orange light, like a scorching gaze in the snowstorm, just think of this gaze, even in the coldest season, she will be surrounded by warmth.

Originally

This long life,

He looked at her with the most sincere gaze, and she looked at him with the most attentive expression......

Needless to say, I returned home at the beginning of April, waiting for the final wedding moment to spend the last days of my stay at home.

The relationship between the mother and the father miraculously improved, although it was the same harmony before, but now it is more sweet, which can be seen from the mother's unprecedented happiness in her eyes. I have to wonder if the humble lantern of the Shangyuan Festival was actually delivered to the gods by the palm of the Steward, because the two wishes I had hoped for most came true at the beginning of the year.

Moreover, what makes me happiest is that it is said that my mother is pregnant again, and maybe, this time, she will add a younger brother to me, and even my grandmother, who has been out of business for a long time, will be happy all day long.

The day before I entered the palace, my father and I had a long night talk, and at the same time told me that he was about to resign from his post as secretary of the military department and hand over the military power in the capital.

I don't know if my father wants to be able to spend more time with my mother, or if he doesn't want our Mu family to become a second royal family.

But I didn't stop him from handing it over.

April 25th, sunny and windy, is the day of my wedding.

I sat on the magnificent and delicate royal chariot, my heart was uneasy, but also nervous, I knew that the road I was going to take was far from its appearance of magnificent, full of flowers, and even, maybe there will be indescribable thorns and shadows on this road, but as long as I think of the future, it is with him all the time, it is with him to spend every morning and twilight in the future, it is with him hand in hand through every twist and turn of life, I am full of courage and confidence, I am willing to face any setbacks and tribulations.

There have also been several personnel changes in the DPRK and China, and in the distant Juyu Pass, because the guard general died in battle at the beginning of the year, the deputy general Dou Feng was promoted to the main general. The resignation form handed in by my father was rejected, and he still retained the position of secretary of the military department, but he took back most of the military power in the capital.

I can rest assured that this will be the result.

In May, the Queen Mother returned to the emperor and went to Danfeng Mountain to live in seclusion, with only two or three people close to her.

After bidding farewell to the Queen Mother, he was very depressed. I had to keep comforting him and telling him that he could go to Danfeng Mountain to see his mother at any time, and he slowly cheered up.

In fact, there is a sentence I dare not say, when I bid farewell to the Queen Mother, I clearly saw that the Queen Mother's face was faintly displayed, and it was also as happy as my mother......
