Chapter 47 Dreamland
That night.

Zhao Yi was lying on the bed with his eyes closed tightly. There were soothing incense burning all around the main hall. On the four corners of the bright yellow bed were pictures of the divine python leaping into the clouds. The white smoke curled up and looked like a dream, shrouding everything around him. In the haze.

He felt as if he had entered a very strange feeling, as if his soul had left his body and entered a strange state.

He stood in the center of the main hall. It was still midnight just now, but now the sun was shining brightly. Red ribbons were hung around the east palace, with happy words pasted on them. It looked like they were getting married.

He saw himself wearing a bright red wedding dress, leading a man in, and bowed to heaven and earth. The ceremonial supervisor next to him shouted loudly:
"Bow to heaven and earth--

Second bow to the high hall——"

He looked at this scene in a daze. He... was married?

The scene changed again, and we entered the wedding room. This was the Wutong Hall in the East Palace, and the outside of the hall was still full of sycamore trees.

He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pull her, wanting to see who it was, but his hand penetrated the bride's red hijab.

Not long after, another man came in. He gently lifted his hijab, and it turned out that underneath was the person he thought about day and night.

He smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly. Was he having such a dream because he couldn't get it?

He endured it by the side, watching them Yun Yu, Li Baojia had a shy expression, which he had never seen on her face before.

His breathing gradually became a little rapid. The person he loved was right in front of him, but he couldn't touch it. This was the first time he felt jealous of the "him" in his dream.

He stayed with her and looked at her day by day, and the days passed neither quickly nor slowly.

Sometimes he wonders, why does this dream last so long?
Gradually, he learned that she liked peaches, lychees, and all sweet snacks.

I like to read story books, study balms, and think about some weird things to apply on my body.

Her body is very white, and there is a small pink birthmark on the part of her neck near the shoulder bones. She sometimes looks in the mirror and always says that she is not beautiful, but he thinks it is very cute.

After a while, "he" accepted several new concubines Liangdi into the palace. According to the regulations, on the first day of entering the palace, he had to go to the concubine's room to consummate the marriage ceremony.

"He" didn't go, but went to have dinner in a calming manner, and dealt with Xisai's military affairs in the study. Eunuch Huang asked him if he wanted to have a word with the Crown Princess.

"He" said nonchalantly no.

That night, she waited for her to have dinner as usual. After waiting for a long time, only a young eunuch came and said, "Your Highness is having dinner at Concubine Su's place today. Your Majesty, you don't have to wait any longer."

She said hello with a smile, rewarded the little eunuch who came to deliver the message, and ate as usual.

But he noticed that she ate less than usual.

She didn't even take a few bites of her favorite peach soup.

When she was going to bed at night, she looked at the top of the bed blankly for a while. She didn't know what she thought of, but she just sighed and closed her eyes.

Zhao Yi was sitting by the bed. His illusory shadow overlapped with hers on the bed, as if they were intimate. His hand brushed between her eyebrows, silently telling her in his heart, don't be sad, he was in the study.

He didn't know why this dream was so real.

If it were him, he really wouldn't explain this.

He has been a prince since he was a child. He has never wanted to explain his feelings to others, and he has never loved anyone, and he has never even thought that she would be sad.

Because in his eyes, whether he goes to the concubine's backyard or not is the right thing to do, and he doesn't need to explain to anyone.

He doesn't go just because he doesn't want to.

He missed her so much that he couldn't even stand other women approaching him and covering her scent.

He stayed with her day after day. In this deep courtyard, he watched her smile gradually become less and less.

There are many rules here. Every day, you have to get up early to receive greetings from the concubines Liang Yuan. Every month, you have to go to the palace to serve tea to the Queen Mother.

The queen seemed dissatisfied with her and always embarrassed her, but she never told "him".

"He" didn't care about what happened in the backyard. He only came to her temple at night every day, and when he came, he just did that. Sometimes she wanted to talk to him about what happened during the day, but he dragged her and entangled her.

Over time, except for the time in bed, they were like the most familiar strangers.

He was busy with government affairs during the day, and she never bothered him. She just quietly did her job.

"He" was so possessive of her that he didn't even allow her to go out at will.

Then suddenly for a while, she fell in love with swinging in an abandoned courtyard.

Because standing on this swing, swinging high, you can see the outside world, outside the wall, on the street, and occasionally there are pedestrians passing by carrying burdens.

Her smile gradually increased again, and she took the trouble to perform the activity of swinging. Sometimes she would swing for two or three hours at a time, as if she had completely forgotten the time.

But the good times did not last long. Within a few days, Xiao Tao failed to push the swing firmly, and she fell off the swing.

Zhao Yi was worried and wanted to catch her, but it was in vain. She penetrated his body straight.

Fortunately it wasn't high, just a broken skin.

Zhao Yi breathed a sigh of relief. When "he" came in the evening, he saw the skin on her hand was broken and asked why.

When she went to look at it the next day, the swing had been dismantled and only two ropes were left hanging there.

He saw her standing there in despair for a while, and then said to Xiao Tao, "Let's go."

His heart felt uncomfortable for no reason, as if something was tugging at his heart tightly.

Such ordinary days lasted for a long, long time. One night, she had eaten too much and was walking around to eat, and somehow she ended up in this courtyard again.

Then she saw two familiar figures inside, "him" and Concubine Su.

Su Ruhui pulled "his" sleeves with tears in her eyes: "Didn't you say that the one you love most is me? That Li Baojia is just my shield. When you come to the throne, everything she has now will be mine!"

"Your Highness...have you forgotten that I once saved you when you were a child..."

She didn't hear the end, maybe because she was afraid of hearing more, so she turned around and walked away quietly.

He frowned, obviously not thinking that what this woman said was true, because he knew very well that he would not say such things.

"He" threw her hand away in the next second and said, "I don't know what you are talking about. Are you using this incident as a child to wait for you here alone just to talk nonsense?"

He didn't listen anymore, he was a little worried about her.

He went all the way back to her bedroom, but she was already lying down abnormally. He quietly approached her forehead, and in a blink of an eye he caught a glimpse of the corners of her eyes, which were stained with tears, and her body was still shaking uncontrollably.

Even though she couldn't see it, he still hugged her tightly with his arms, and his hands penetrated her body and connected them tightly.

The next day, she developed a high fever, which made her talk nonsense. "He" came to see her many times, and the imperial doctor changed several batches.

She still wasn't getting better.

She was like a flower that needed careful care and was planted in an inappropriate place. It gradually lost its vitality and withered in this corner of the palace wall.
