Chapter 23 The Great Gift (Two Requests for Tickets, Collection and Message)
Nan Xuebai didn't expect that the first person who gave herself the expectation of a little girl would be Wan Qi, a eunuch! She didn't even understand why she fell in love with him, she felt a little inexplicable, but the feeling in her heart really reminded her that it was not a dream.
She really has an idea about Wan Qi that she shouldn't have! Maybe I don't like it yet, but I can also say that I care.
She thought coldly, probably because at the time of life and death, the person who saved her was Wan Qi. Or maybe she inadvertently turned gratitude into care, or it can be said that in the situation of the prison at that time, if it was someone else who saved her, maybe she would have felt different.
complained in my heart, in the end, I still blamed myself for being stupid.
How could she forget that the person who put her in that situation was Wan Qi, and how could she forget that Wan Qi was a ruthless person? It is true that there is a sentence Wan Qi said very rightββββ a few days ago, our family's pleasant face made you not know how thick the sky is?
Maybe yes.
When he arrived in the palace, Xiahou Xiu was standing in Wan Qi's courtyard, under the ancient tree, the dappled moonlight sprinkled on him, and the man with his face upturned didn't know what he was thinking. Nan Xuebai was stunned for a moment, compared to Wan Qi, wouldn't it be better if the person who made her care about her feelings first was the emperor?
The answer is no.
In this house, the most valuable thing is feelings.
Nan Xuebai's heart, which was a little uncomfortable, calmed down, and walked up to the emperor, now she shouldn't be bothered by the love of her children, what she has to think about is how to trample those people under her feet and return the original ones she beared.
"Back? Fun outside the palace? There was a faint smile on his face, Nan Xue was a little suffocated and didn't know how to answer, her heart was full of guilt, no matter what the purpose, Xiahou Xiu had tried his best to protect her.
Then a smile appeared on his face, if he wanted to be treated as a friend, she could still do this.
"Xiahou Xiu, let's go back." Tomorrow is the ceremony of sealing the concubine, and according to the etiquette of Great Xia, Nan Xuebai is going to share the bed with Xiahou Xiu. Xiahou Xiu was stunned, and after coming back to his senses, a sincere smile spread on his face, with tenderness. "Okay."
Wan Qian calmly turned around and entered the house, not looking at the back of Nan Xuebai and the emperor leaving, one after the other, like a husband and a wife, at least this sentence ran out of his mind at that time.
Yongshou Palace is still brightly lit, the Queen Mother is lazily lying on the couch, Xiahou Zhan respectfully hangs on the side to serve, and there is also a figure standing on the main hall, wearing an ink-colored auspicious cloud brocade robe, and the ribbon around the waist outlines the perfect waist, isn't it Wan Qian!
"The mourning family heard that the imperial concubine Niangniang is courting you, but is it true?"
Wan Qiao's eyebrows were lowered and his face was expressionless, but there was a touch of coldness in the corners of his eyes, he knew that the Queen Mother would send someone to spy on him, but he didn't want to say it so blatantly, he couldn't wait to tear his face with him and see who the person behind him was, "It's really deaf and clear, and the slave is ashamed." β
The Queen Mother chuckled, "That kid is smart, but you, why did you refuse like that?" It's good to let her have a dream, and with you, there is always one more bargaining chip to control her, you must know that the most important thing for a woman is feelings. Or is it just that you just refuse, just because you have a crush on that girl? But because he is a crippled person has to refuse? β
The man on the top of the hall bowed down and knelt down with sincerity and fear, "The slave is afraid, the imperial concubine is His Majesty's concubine, how can the slave dare to be delusional?" All the slave wants is to serve a good master, the queen mother. β
A watertight answer.
The Queen Mother suddenly bent her eyes, "So the chief manager has never been interested in Nan Xuebai?" β
"The minions are terrified."
"Then Wan Qi feels that His Majesty has some affection for Nan Xuebai?" The Queen Mother was busy putting down the set, Wan Qian looked sneering, but her mouth was respectful.
"Slaves don't dare to speculate on the holy will."
"Tomorrow is the canonization ceremony, the mourning family and Zhan'er thought about it a few times, but they still feel that they should give a big gift, so that Your Majesty can see their sincerity, and they can be regarded as worthy of Your Majesty. You tell me? β
I'm afraid this gift is not much better. Wan Qi's body knelt lower, "The status of a slave is humble and he doesn't dare to make a conclusion." β
"Wan Qian, it's not your character to be arrogant, so it's up to you to prepare that big gift with King Zhan."
Xiahou Zhan's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and Wan Qian knelt down. I vaguely remembered that tomorrow was the night of the full moon.
The night was deep, Nan Xuebai was lying on the bed tossing and turning, thinking about Wan Qi's words, her eyes fell on the man who was laying on the floor below, and the corners of her lips pursed slightly. From tomorrow onwards, they will be husband and wife, whether they have feelings or not, but after all, the emperor saved her and treated her very well, so it is reasonable that he should treat him better.
In the early morning, the warm sun was sprinkled in every corner of the palace, and the canonization ceremony was a little grander than when Liu Xiang'er entered the palace.
Which Xiahou Xiu is the real him?
The long red carpet was spread from one end to the other, and the Queen Mother, Xia Guifei and others were all by the emperor's side, smiling warmly. Walking from the shadows to everyone's eyes, the inconspicuous palace maid in the past had exquisite makeup, and there was a beauty that made people not open their eyes.
The happy peach next to him couldn't close his mouth with a smile, but he was really happy for Nan Xuebai.
Inadvertently, his gaze fell on Wan Qi, he was still wearing the ink-colored auspicious cloud brocade robe, white jade and gold crown, tassels hanging in his hair, and he didn't look at Nan Xuebai at all.
Wan Qi lazily raised her eyes to see Nan Xuebai's gaze, and naturally moved away, but she was a little embarrassed to dodge, annoyed that she was useless, Nan Xuebai bit her lip. When you close your eyes, you don't have any emotions when you open them.
Only indifference.
Under the eyes of everyone, who were surprised, envious or jealous, he walked in front of the emperor step by step. He stretched out his hand towards her, a soft glint flashing in his eyes, "Cher." β
Nan Xuebai suddenly found that Xiahou Xiu was reaching out to her more often, and he couldn't tell what it was like, but he also smiled and held her hand
Looking down on the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains with him, bearing the worship of everyone, Nan Xuebai's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, from today onwards, she will be crawling in this palace and asking for everything that others owe.
Those who have hurt her, and tried to hurt her, she will not be soft and will not endure!
In the dark, several pairs of eyes stared at Nan Xuebai fiercely.
After everyone worshipped, it was time to disperse, and Nan Xuebai was surrounded and went to Qifeng Palace, which was a gift from the emperor to her, bearing the name of the imperial concubine, but doing what only a queen can do.
Nan Xuebai was dumbfounded in her heart, the emperor was so good to her, which made her extremely uneasy.
She was led in a daze, not knowing where she went, and then a light smoke swept through her and she fainted to the ground.
