Chapter 2 Entering the palace for tea

Why did the husband who was waiting for her heart and soul full of joy wait for such a cruel end? Under the old temple, his doting words echoed in her ears, and a delicate and sultry show of love was now like a sharp dagger mercilessly cutting her heart.

He said that he loved her, and he said that he was inseparable from her white head, could it be that she was wrong and mistook Mu Xize's love for herself?

Su Huang's mind was messy, and his mind recalled the sweet past with Mu Xize over and over again, the more he thought about it, the more heartache he felt, but he couldn't help but think about it, as if the past was real, and now it was an illusory dream.

It was a bleak and long night.

Su Huang's tears stained his clothes, and he sat in a daze with his red and swollen eyes until dawn, because of his soft and cowardly character, he didn't even have the courage to rush out to ask Mu Xize for clarification, but just endured the pain of this sudden attack alone.

Early in the morning, the door of the bedroom was full of people in the house, and the excuse was to work at the door, but how could the huge palace have so much work to do in front of her bedroom, it was nothing more than knowing about last night's events and wanting to see her jokes.

Two teenage girls respectfully knocked on the door and entered, saying that they wanted to groom her. Under the service of the maid, Su Huang washed his face and changed into regular clothes. Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, Su Huang felt that the self in the mirror was so strange that she didn't even know herself, and she couldn't find a trace of joy on her pale face. Just one night, it was like a world away.

Su Huang lowered his head and followed behind the maid nervously and reluctantly to the main hall of the palace. In the center of the main hall is a round dining table, on which a delicate breakfast is already prepared.

Su Huang's mind is not on breakfast, but on the woman, to be precise, Mu Xize's woman.

The women sat around the dining table, looking at Su Huang's eyes with disdain and sarcasm.

And Mu Xize is sitting on the solid wood soft collapse next to the dining table at the moment, and there are two flowery women on the left and right. Su Huang roughly counted them, there were twelve in total, and twelve of them were all more beautiful and young women than him.

Seeing that the man who once swore to himself is now happily embracing other women, treating himself as air, and he doesn't want to look at himself again. Su Huang was so angry that she almost cried on the spot, she clenched her hands into fists, and concentrated all the strength of her body on her fingertips to calm her chaotic thoughts. Unconsciously, because of the squeezing of her nails, her palms had oozed bright red blood.

Despite the grief in his heart, Su Huang still suppressed his emotions and opened his mouth with difficulty: "To the king... Greetings, Lord. ”

Mu Xize fiddled with one of the women's hair, without speaking or looking at her.

The woman said: "The general's daughter has a big shelf, and she has to dress up for breakfast, and let the prince wait here." ”

"It's normal for Sister Su to dress up, otherwise how can this face match my prince's lord, and it would be time to embarrass the prince when she enters the palace to say hello!" another woman responded.

"Alright, let's eat. Mu Xize finally opened his mouth, and then hugged the two beauties and sat down. He was full of smiles, and his mouth kept eating the food fed by the beauties on the left and right, but he still didn't even look at Su Huang.

Finally, before breakfast was finished, Su Huang mustered up the courage to ask, "Xi Ze, since you don't love me, why did you ask the emperor to marry me?"

Su Huang felt that the room suddenly became quiet, and Mu Xize also walked in front of her from the original seat, and the eyes that were full of love and pity before were now only a resentment that went deep into the bone marrow.

He ruthlessly tore Su Huang's collar, and his white collarbone was unreservedly displayed in front of the world. His fingertips slid softly across her cheeks, across her neck, and against her collarbone, but his words were still cold.

Su Huang cried in horror and wanted to retreat, but her lower back was tightly hugged by Mu Xize's other arm and she couldn't move a bit.

"Why are you scared as soon as you make love, how will you be my woman in the future!" Mu Xize pinched Su Huang's chin, looked at his women again, and said in Su Huang's ear: "You should learn more like them, don't be like your father who wears a mask of benevolence and morality all day long, but is actually hypocritical and dirty inside." ”

Mu Xize's eyes suddenly ignited with irrepressible anger, withdrew his hands, turned around and walked away quickly.

On the way to the palace, Su Huang and Mu Xize didn't speak, but she kept thinking about what Mu Xize said before leaving. Listening to the meaning of those words, it seems that Mu Xize and his father had a grudge before, but his father has always been a big hero in the eyes of others, he is fair and honest, and he is rigorous and methodical in governing the army.

Xu was thinking about things all the way, and Su Huang felt that the carriage was going too fast, and he arrived at the palace gate in the blink of an eye. After getting out of the carriage, Su Huang followed behind Mu Xize all the way.

Before entering Qingyun Palace, Su Huang plucked up his courage and said: "Xi Ze, let's not be as good as we are now, if the emperor sees it, I am afraid that it will have a bad impact on you." Su Huang said in a very small voice, and he wasn't even sure if Mu Xize could hear it.

Mu Xize smiled disdainfully and replied, "Do you think I, Mu Xize, am afraid of someone like that?" After saying that, he strode into Qingyun Palace.

Su Huang followed, only to see that the emperor had already sat on the main seat, and on both sides were the concubines of each palace. Su Huang rarely entered the palace, and there were very few of these concubines who could be named, so he cautiously followed behind Mu Xize, for fear that something would go wrong.

Su Huang first followed Mu Xize to worship the emperor and the concubines of the palace, and then followed Mu Xize to offer tea to the emperor, and finally to the concubines of the palace, and everything seemed to be going well. It's just that when he arrived at a concubine who was the most luxuriously dressed and sat closest to the emperor, Su Huang saw Mu Xize's brows slightly tightened, revealing a very reluctant look.

The concubine smiled very kindly and said: "Leaving the ancestral system, the prince's newlywed tea is in the queen's palace, but the first queen has died for many years, and His Majesty has not established a new queen, and the emperor thinks that my palace is still relatively big, so let you and the princess serve tea here, His Royal Highness King Ning should not dislike it!"

Su Huang felt that there was a needle in his words, ostensibly to express guilt, but in fact, he was reminding Mu Xize that his biological mother was dead, and now he was in charge of the harem.

Mu Xize smiled faintly and said: "Wang Guifei is serious, Xi Ze's biological mother died early, it is all because of the mother's care for Xi Ze, Xi Ze can survive today, Xi Ze is too late to be grateful to his mother, how can he dislike it!"

This seemed to be said from the bottom of his heart, but Su Huang felt uncomfortable when he heard it.

At this time, the emperor, who had not spoken much, suddenly opened his mouth: "Xi Ze, now that you have become a family, you have time to take the princess to Qingming Mountain to worship your mother! If she knows that you have become a relative, she will be very happy." Somehow, Su Huang felt that there was a little sadness in the emperor's tone, which made people feel pity when they heard it.

Xi Ze also has this intention. ”

As if she suddenly remembered something, Wang Guifei grabbed Su Huang's arm and said: "Princess Ning is newly married, I haven't prepared any congratulatory gifts, it just so happens that I have some rare things in this palace, you come and take a look, just take what you like!"

The emperor smiled and said: "Go, there have always been many rare treasures in Qingyun Palace, take more things in a while, and let the concubine bleed more!"

"The emperor is making fun of his concubines again!" Wang Guifei said as she pulled Su Huang away.

There is a treasure pavilion in Qingyun Palace, and now Su Huang is in this treasure pavilion, surrounded by a large group of rare treasures. Su Huang thought to himself that although this princess was not a queen, the luxury in this palace and the number of treasures in this palace were unmatched by even the queen, and he felt a little dazzled for a while.

But Su Huang felt that it was not good to ask for this or that when he first arrived in someone's palace, he symbolically looked for some small jewelry that was not too valuable. When the two were about to return to the main hall, Wang Guifei said: "I suddenly remembered that I made some new ruyi cakes in this palace, which are very delicious, and let the next person bring you some back before leaving, and then go to Concubine Li, and send some for me, Concubine Li is pregnant, and I heard that I like the taste of this Ruyi cake very much recently." ”

"No. Su Huang replied.
