April 210 BC

The palace hasn't changed much from when I left, and the only difference is the rooftop that is about to be renovated. The structure is exquisite, the workmanship is meticulous, and from a distance, it looks like it is going to be as tall as a cloud.

"That is the rooftop built by His Majesty the First Emperor?" Qian Ge'er came to Afang Palace for the first time, she stared at the rooftop and was very surprised and said: "If you stand on this rooftop, maybe you can really see the fairy mountain!"

"If that immortal mountain can be seen here, why do you need him Xu Fu to go to the sea to find it?" I shook my head and said with a smile: "It's just the result of listening to that person's nonsense and indulging in the theory of immortality." If this matter is passed on to future generations, it must be laughable and generous. ”

Brother Qian nodded as if she didn't understand.

It was noon when the carriage stopped in front of Zhaogong Le Fang, and Xiangzi and Luoying didn't know that I was coming today, until they heard the little eunuch's message, they came out in a panic to greet me. Luoying has always been lively and runs extremely fast, and almost tripped over the threshold.

"Sister Xue'er!" she rushed over and hugged me, full of joy and said, "It's been a year since you left, and I thought I'd never see you again!"

Seeing her so cheerful, Brother Qian frowned with some dissatisfaction: "Seeing His Highness Xue, he didn't know how to salute, what kind of madness did he become?"

Luo Ying then remembered that I was now the princess, her little face turned white, and she immediately distanced herself from me, she knelt down respectfully in front of me, and said with sincere fear: "Slave maid to participate in Her Royal Highness the princess!"

It seems that I have been slashed by a sharp knife in my heart, and it hurts to pierce my heart.

I went back to the room where I had been living before, it was very clean and furnished as it had been when I left. Xiangzi told me that after I left, the eldest dancer in the music room was appointed as a dancer, and it stands to reason that she was supposed to live in this room, but then because Luoying didn't do it, the dancer had to give up.

"Cher...... Your Highness, the kapok in the garden is open, do you want to go and see it?" Luo Ying asked me in a low voice.

I saw that there was a look of anticipation in her eyes, and that her big eyes were very cute, and my heart was very happy, so I nodded in agreement.

The kapok forest was still quiet, I withdrew the eunuch palace maid and Brother Qian who followed behind, and took Luoying and Xiangzi to sit down next to the most prosperous kapok.

"How have you been this year?" I asked them.

"Very good, the steward took great care of us. Although you left, my husband did not transfer us to serve the ladies in other palaces, but left us in the music room to do some miscellaneous work every day. Luo Ying gently tugged at my sleeve and whispered, "He said that it was because of my sister's success that we could have this blessing." ”

When I saw that the two of them looked sad, I asked strangely, "Why do you have such expressions? Isn't someone bullying you?"

"Sister Xue'er!" Luo Ying suddenly raised her head, tears were hanging on her little face for some time, she clenched my sleeve tightly, and choked up: "Sister Xue'er...... Your beloved is obviously a long-term son! But ...... But it ......"

I thought that the two of them were sad because they had been wronged, but I didn't expect it to be because of me. I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart, and my body seemed to be soaked in warm water. I couldn't help but smile and reached out to take the two of them into my arms.

"Silly girl, just crying for this kind of thing?" I pinched Luo Ying's face and quipped: "I haven't cried yet, you cry like this, I'm embarrassed to cry." ”

Xiangzi also broke into a smile, raised his sleeve to wipe away the tears on his face, and asked me with anticipation: "How long will my sister stay this time?"

I looked at their eyes full of anticipation, and smiled helplessly, "Okay, I'll stay a few more days." ”

Wu Yi didn't know that I had returned to Ah Fang, and if he didn't see me when he returned to the Star Garden in a few days, he would be furious. But even so, I don't want to live up to the expectations of Luo Ying and Xiangzi, who are so close to me, like family.

However, contrary to what I expected, although Wu Yi came to Afang to look for me in person a few days later, he did not ask me to go back.

He sat down in the room with me, and I tried to cook him a bowl of tea, but he pulled him over and leaned into his arms.

"Arou, have you missed me these days?" his voice was a little tired: "I always can't help but think about you, people are like demons stunned." It's really unproductive, it's not like me at all. ”

I snuggled quietly in his arms, feeling his warmth and the touch of the little stubble on my chin.

"But despite this, I'm going to be separated from you for a while. He sighed quietly.

"Aren't you here to pick me up?" I asked him, my eyes full of surprise.

"Zhao Gao went on patrol with his father this time, and his father was seriously ill, so I am afraid that he will not be able to support him for long. A hint of gloom flashed in Wu Yi's eyes, "Although I asked Ying to accompany me this time, my father was confused by Zhao Gao and did not allow it." This time the eastern tour is more auspicious, and I have to go to Shangjun, and I am afraid that it will take several days to come back. Before I come back, you will stay in Afang Palace obediently, and don't go anywhere. Now that the world is in turmoil, it is safest to stay here. ”

Isn't that the place where Fusu Gongzi was degraded?

"You're going to find His Highness Fusu?"

"Ahh If Zhao Gao wants to seize power, the first person to get rid of is the eldest brother, the eldest brother is gentle and upright, I am worried that he will be victimized by traitors. Wu Yi gently kissed my hair, and said helplessly: "If something happens to the eldest brother, the next one is me who is at odds with Zhao Gao, if I die, what will you do?"

"How could you die?" I comforted him, "how could you die at the hands of a eunuch if you are so smart?"

He chuckled, lowered his head and buried his face in my neck, and said after a long time: "Arou, I wanted to exchange you for a life, but who would have thought that you would become my life." ”

Wu Yi would only stay in Afang for one night, and on the second day he would leave for Shangjun. I slept with him, then got up to prepare for tomorrow's breakfast and food for him.

I walked around the cloister to the kitchen, only to see that the door of the kitchenette was slightly open, and there was a light inside.

"As soon as His Royal Highness Wu Yi comes today, Sister Xue'er is afraid that she will leave tomorrow, and I am really reluctant in my heart. Luo Ying sobbed softly from inside.

"It's a good thing that my sister can marry His Royal Highness Wu Yi, why do you keep crying and crying? Be careful not to anger His Highness Wu Yi, a sword will kill you. Xiangzi whispered a warning to her.

"But you and I both know that Sister Xue'er's beloved is the eldest son. Luo Ying twitched and whispered: "Although my sister is wearing gold and silver now, her smile is not as good-looking as before." ”

There was silence inside because of these words, and Xiangzi did not refute it.

My heart was sour and a little warm, and I chuckled and carefully pushed open the kitchen door.

"Sister Xue'er!" the two little girls were startled and hurriedly raised their hands to wipe their faces.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not here to reprise you. I stroked their heads and said softly, "How can I blame you for your sincerity? Although I don't have much affection for Wu Yi, he treats me very well, and I haven't suffered any grievances, so I don't have anything unwilling. ”

"Sister Cher'......"

"Don't cry, come and help me prepare tomorrow's food and drinks and dry food for the road. I smiled and said, "Wu Yi is a picky eater, if it weren't for the food I made, he wouldn't have eaten it." ”
