As soon as he returned to the Zhaoyang Palace, Mao Leyan saw a lonely figure walking by the lake, looking at the back and being lonely, as if with a deep sadness.

Seeing Mao Leyan's footsteps sounding, she subconsciously turned around, Mao Leyan looked over through the moonlight, and it turned out to be Concubine Liu Yiyi. When she saw Mao Leyan, she was not surprised at all, sadness rose in her eyes, and she smiled bitterly: "It seems that I am not the only one who can't sleep." ”

Mao Leyan suddenly realized something, a heroic woman like Liu Yiyi was willing to marry into the palace, she must have loved that man miserably. It is said that if two women love the same man, they will hate each other. But because of the pitiful situation, Mao Leyan actually gave birth to a friendliness to Liu Yiyi. She walked up to Liu Yiyi and said softly: "All this, you have to be mentally prepared before marrying into the palace." ”

Liu Yiyi said in despair: "I have been mentally prepared, but imagination and reality are not the same thing. ”

Yes, no matter how well prepared you are, you can't beat the blow of the truth. Mao Leyan stretched out his hand and patted her shoulder gently, and said cruelly: "In the future, there will only be more and not less, you have to accept it immediately." ”

"What about you?" Liu Yiyi looked at her sharply, "Can you accept it in your heart?" I don't believe you can. ”

"Can't!" Mao Leyan almost rushed out, a night of hard thinking and drunkenness could not make her feel better, at this moment looking at the sadness on Liu Yiyi's face, she suddenly became stronger, "But I will try to convince myself that since I have chosen this path, these things must be endured, if you can't stand it, you can only leave." ”

Liu Yiyi was silent for a moment, "I won't leave." ”

Mao Leyan said: "Since you choose to stay, you have to accept all this, otherwise, your life in this palace will be very difficult." ”

A trace of pain flashed in Liu Yiyi's eyes, and she was silent for a long time before she said: "You don't love him as much as I do, otherwise you wouldn't use your identity as a bystander to persuade me now." ”

Perhaps, Mao Leyan took a deep breath, and then sighed faintly, not loving is the best, if she can, she hopes that there will not even be a trace of heartbeat. She entered the palace just to find out the internal response, and everything else should not be touched.

"But," Liu Yiyi suddenly changed her words, "even if you don't love him as much as I do, you love him in your heart, I just don't understand why you can act like nothing." After a pause, she smiled bitterly and said, "It's me who overestimated you, if you could really act as if you were fine, you wouldn't be here at this hour, but slept with your head covered in the temple." ”

The feeling of being told the center is really not a taste, Mao Leyan was easily poked in the center, and the hardships of the night were now pouring out doubly, and even the air was bitter, she smiled slightly, and said: "I only know that it is useless to dwell on these problems now, it will only make myself more uncomfortable." ”

Liu Yiyi was in a trance and nodded slightly, "I know." ”

"Go back to bed early, there will be more days like this in the future." Mao Leyan comforted her, but also comforted herself.

"It's impossible to sleep, tonight is destined to be a torment!" Liu Yiyi muttered, she walked along the shore and no longer paid attention to Mao Leyan.

Mao Leyan's smile lasted until her back disappeared, and then she sighed heavily, and walked towards Zhaoyang Hall with her head down.

The guards outside the Zhaoyang Hall were also slightly surprised when they saw her, and they stepped forward to salute and continued to patrol. Yes, it is probably rare for a concubine who doesn't sleep so late, the most taboo thing for a woman in this palace is to be jealous, no matter how unhappy she is, she can only feel sorry for herself in her own palace, where will she go out and be saddened by being seen by others?

Early in the morning of the second day, Liu gradually came, his face was gloomy, and no one was allowed to report, so he broke in, at that time, Mao Leyan was dressing up, planning to go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye. As an ancient person, the time spent dressing up every day has been maddening, and after entering the palace, it is often an hour or two of dressing up, which completely wears out Mao Leyan's patience. With so much time, why not do something? It's a waste of time to work so hard to dress up for so long, and no one to praise half of it. Dressing up and waiting is the only thing a woman in this harem can do.

"Your Majesty!" When Xiao Shu and Fan Er saw Liu Yan, they hurriedly saluted.

Mao Leyan looked back and saw that Liu Yan's face was not good, and said to Xiao Shu and the others: "You guys go out." ”

Xiao Shu glanced at Mao Leyan with some concern, but still pulled the fan out according to his words.

After Liu gradually waited for the door to close, he asked coldly, "What did you do when you went to King Jing's Mansion last night?" ”

Mao Leyan didn't make a sound, picked up the eyebrow pencil and gently traced the already thick black eyebrows, the atmosphere fell into a stagnant, what was she going to do? It's ridiculous, she didn't ask him what Concubine Li was doing, but he came to ask her first.

Liu gradually saw that she was silent, and wrenched her shoulders hard, and then smelled a strong smell of wine on her body, he frowned and said, "Have you drunk?" ”

Mao Leyan put down his eyebrow pencil, raised his eyes to look at him, and said, "Yes!" ”

"Did you go to King Jing's Mansion to drink?" Liu gradually softened his tone, and received a report from Mo Li's person who was monitoring King Jing early this morning, saying that Mao Leyan was left alone in King Jing's room for about half an hour, half an hour, and she went out to find King Jing in the middle of the night, and he couldn't speculate on anything else in his head, only thinking that she was going to have a tryst with King Jing. It's just that now looking at the faint sadness in her eyes and the smell of wine all over her body, he suddenly felt that she was uncomfortable, because he spoiled Concubine Li? This realization made his heart bitter and sweet,

The bitterness is because he brings her a sad mood, and the sweetness is that she cares about him in her heart.

"Yes, it's a pleasure to talk about wine." Mao Leyan said lightly, "Why is the emperor so early today?" Don't you go to court? ”

With such an unfamiliar tone, Liu Yan didn't know how to speak next, he sat on the couch, far away from Mao Leyan, stared at the blackness of her eyes, and said softly: "Didn't you sleep last night?" ”

"What can you do if you don't sleep at night? I'm not as rich in nightlife as the emperor. Although she said that she was not jealous, although she said that she didn't care, the bitter words still overflowed from her lips, and she couldn't do it in the end. Maybe the words of persuading Liu Yiyi are just to deceive herself.

A trace of pain seemed to flash in Liu Yan's eyebrows, and he said softly: "Xiao Yan, there are some things that I can't control. ”

Mao Leyan retracted his eyes and looked at his somewhat haggard face in the mirror, although the makeup was charming, how could the sadness in his eyes be concealed? No wonder he can easily see her thoughts, she is not a veteran of the love scene, and he doesn't know how to hide this mood.

Halfway, Mao Leyan said: "Did the emperor go up and see the virtuous concubine?" She probably didn't sleep all night last night. ”

Liu gradually fell silent and stared at Mao Leyan fixedly, "In your heart, is there still me?" ”

Mao Leyan's face remained unchanged, "My heart is still the same as before, I remember my identity, and I also remember the purpose of entering the palace, the emperor really doesn't need to talk to me about these things, my heart naturally has the emperor, and the hearts of the subjects of the world have the emperor." ”

Liu gradually frowned and said, "You know that I didn't mean this. ”

"I just want to say this, I don't want to mention the rest, if the emperor is free, go and see Concubine Xian, I'm going to say goodbye to the Queen Mother." She stood up, trying to retrieve the coat on the screen, the emperor took her hand and hugged her hard, his warm breath was on her forehead, and his chest beat violently to break his heart, he cared about her very much, he cared about her very much, he cared very much about whether she was happy or not, and he cared very much about whether she would be disappointed in him. Many things have been controlled by reason before, but when things happen, everything is out of control, and reason is only used to guard oneself, and it has no effect on things.

Mao Leyan subconsciously wanted to push him away, but there was still a slight fragrance on his body, and there was a throbbing pain in her heart, probably because of the breath on Concubine Li's body. She's an adult and knows what happens when a man and a woman lie in the same bed. He hugged her hard, feeling her resistance, he lowered his head to find her red lips, the hot lips kissed together, and both of them lost their minds for a short time. It seems that it is still the same cave, as if there are only two of them in heaven and earth. Without the scent of the other women in him, she thought she could convince herself for the time being.

But no, she was not good at deceiving herself, she pushed him away hard, she tried her best to maintain her calm, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, please respect yourself." ”

Liu Yan's eyes were a little injured, "Xiao Yan ......."

"Don't say anything," Mao Leyan said quickly, his emotions seemed to be out of control all of a sudden, and his face turned red, "Kiss someone else's lips, don't come to kiss me, Your Majesty, please remember the purpose of my entry into the palace, I really don't want to say much about the rest." "She minds, she minds, the touch of her body only reminds her of last night.

Liu Yan's expression suddenly became depressed, stared at her fixedly for a long time, and sighed softly: "Okay, I am as you wish." He looked at her deeply, trying to see her mood in her condensed face. What if you just see it? It is already a fact that his entire harem exists, and this kind of thing will continue to happen in the future. He couldn't stop that, as an emperor, he didn't have as much power as others thought.

Ordinary people are the family and the country, and he is the country first, and the home is just a gorgeous and empty palace for him.

Looking at his lonely back, a wordless pain flashed in Mao Leyan's heart, she no longer had the strength to pay attention to his feelings, she couldn't even comfort herself, how to care about him? She hopes that her love is normal people, not between so many women like now. She didn't even feel the sweetness and began to get hurt for love. doesn't like this kind of love, she would rather simply find a person with the same heart and share the head.

Liu gradually left in despair, as an emperor, he is very accomplished, the country handed over to him by the first emperor has become more and more stable in his hands, just wait to deal with the problem of the chaotic party and King Jing, he can be regarded as worthy of the ancestors and the ancestors. But as a man, he is a failure, constantly hurting the people who love him, and now he wants to hurt the people he loves, he may never love a woman like this again in his life, he even thinks that if she only appears in a few years, and when he comes out and all the chaos reappears, then they will not end up like this.

It can only be said that people are not as good as heaven!
