Unexpectedly, Ding Guoguo didn't need to think of a way at all, and the emperor recruited her into the palace the next day.

"Think more about your apprentice."

Before entering, Nangong Li reminded her.

Ding Guoguo gave him a blank look and didn't say anything.

After not seeing him for more than a year, the emperor's complexion was much better than in his impression, but the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were deeper.

"Come and sit."

After bowing, the emperor beckoned her to sit next to him.

Ding Guoguo lowered his head and walked to sit next to him.

The emperor took her hand, looked at her face carefully, then frowned slightly, and asked, "The complexion is not very good, is there something uncomfortable?" ”

Ding Guoguo shook his head slightly.

"It's been almost five years, right?"

The Emperor spoke suddenly. After speaking, seeing her puzzled face, he laughed softly and explained, "How long have you known Li'er." ”

Ding Guoguo nodded and replied, "Yes, it's going to be five years soon." ”

If you count it seriously, she and Nangong Li have actually known each other for more than seven years, but they didn't know each other at that time.

The emperor looked up and sighed, and said with emotion, "These days have passed so fast, and so long has passed before you know it." ”

Ding Guoguo raised his eyes and looked at him, not knowing what to say. In fact, she had a lot of things she wanted to ask, but she didn't dare to speak.

"You and Concubine Xue may not have seen each other for a long time, right? Do you want to meet her? The emperor suddenly changed the subject.

His topic changed so quickly that Ding Guoguo almost didn't react. She thought that he came to her to ask something about Nangong Li, but she didn't expect him to talk about Zhuoya. She was slightly stunned for a few seconds, then curled her lips and smiled, "It's true that I haven't seen you for a long time, if it's convenient, the folk girl would like to meet Concubine Xue." ”

The emperor smiled slightly, he let go of her hand, turned his face to look at Gonggong Li, who had been waiting by the door, and ordered, "Send someone to send Guoguo to Concubine Xue, and let Li'er come in." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Gonggong Li answered, turned around and went out.

After Gonggong Li went out, the emperor turned his face to look at her and admonished, "After you have met Concubine Xue, come to see me again." Let's go first. ”

"Yes."

Ding Guoguo nodded in response, stood up, bowed his head and retreated.

When he went out, he happened to meet Nangong Li, who came in, and he asked her with his eyes, but she lowered her eyes to avoid his gaze.

Out of the emperor's bedroom, she saw that the sedan chair was ready, she stepped in and sat down, lifted the curtains and looked out the window, and sighed silently.

The emperor wouldn't let her go to see Zhuoya for no reason, what did he want to tell her?

Even if Ding Guoguo is so smart, she just wants to break her brain, and she can't imagine that it will be because of this!

Looking at Zhuo Ya's bulging belly, she was stunned and couldn't react for a long time. For a moment, all kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind.

The emperor has long been infertile, and this secret is only known to her, the emperor himself, and Gonggong Li! So, whose child is in Zoya's belly?!

It can't be Nangong Li, right?

She was startled by the thought, and almost jumped up from her stool.

"Doctor Ding." Zhuoya reached out and gently tugged at her sleeve, and when she looked up at her, she smiled and asked, "Why are you sweating so much?" You okay? ”

Ding Guoguo hurriedly wiped her forehead with her sleeve, suppressed her beating heart, and forced out a smile, she coughed dryly and said, "I'm fine, it's just a little hot." ”

Zhuoya looked at her suspiciously, smiled and asked, "Did you see my father and Dolma when you were in Snow Country?" Are they alright? ”

Ding Guoguo smiled lightly, "They are all very good." She looked down at her stomach and smiled, "Congratulations." I don't know if it's a prince or a princess? It should be about to give birth, right? ”

Zhuo Ya looked down at her belly, reached out and touched it gently, and smiled shyly, "I don't know if it's a man or a woman." The imperial doctors in the palace are not as skilled as you, and they can't handle it. At this point, she looked up at her and said with a smile, "Why don't you take care of it for me?" I'd love to know if it's a princess or a prince. ”

Ding Guoguo hurriedly excused himself and said, "In a few days, you will know, why don't you keep this thought." ”

Zhuoya pursed her lips and smiled, not forcing her.

Is it because of the relationship of motherhood? Her attitude towards her has changed 180 degrees! Or did she not know that Nangong Li was going to marry her again?

Ding Guoguo looked down at the hands clasped on his knees, his palms were full of sweat and slippery.

She sat for a while, then made an excuse and took her leave.

Sending away the palace slaves waiting outside the palace, she walked along the road to the emperor's bedroom by herself. Zhuoya's stomach was too shocking for her, and she couldn't digest it for a while.

She needed to be alone and think about it.

She kept her head down, and when she raised her eyes again, she realized that she had actually taken the wrong path.

"Liuliju... Looking at the plaque in front of her, she was shocked to realize that she had actually walked to the place where Nangong Li lived when she was the prince.

The courtyard door of Liuliju was not closed, and on the threshold sat an old eunuch who was dozing off little by little. She lowered her footsteps and stepped through the courtyard door.

It's been five years, and this glass house hasn't changed at all, it's still the same as when she left.

She walked through the corridor in the front yard and into the small garden in the backyard.

At a glance, she saw the stout begonia tree.

She walked over and looked up, and the tree seemed to have grown a lot taller. She lowered her head, reached out and touched the rough bark, curled her lips and smiled, then leaned back against the trunk and looked up at the fruit-laden branches.

Back then, it was here that she fell in love with Nangong Li. Just one glance, her heart was stolen by him.

She closed her eyes and remembered what it had been.

The sun was dappling, the wind was blowing, the leaves rustling, the young men and women holding their sleeps in the trees, everything was wonderful. Pity...

She opened her eyes and turned her face to look at the courtyard where she had been staying.

Now that I think about it, only the moment of heartbeat is beautiful. The rest of the time, let use and deception take over, and all that remains is to hurt each other.

She sighed, straightened up and looked at the begonia tree again, and walked out without looking back.

When she came out, the old eunuch who was guarding the door was still dozing, and she bent down to examine his face carefully for a while, and found that she did not recognize him. She smiled and took a silver ingot from her bosom and placed it on his lap.

When he woke up, he would have wondered for a long time when he saw the money.

"I still like to play tricks on people."

She was snickering, when suddenly a male voice suddenly sounded. She looked up suspiciously, and a young man in brocade wearing a golden crown was standing not far away, smiling at her.

"The old slave has seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

Before she could react, the old eunuch who had been dozing suddenly woke up and knelt down to salute.

Prince?!

Ding Guoguo looked at the handsome young man in front of him in surprise, and sighed that time had flown by, and the little boy who was originally a dwarf winter melon had grown so big!
