rich concubine

Chapter 2106 Dew Sadness
Some things come and go very quickly, and they don’t take up too much time or people’s hearts.

But when she received Qin Dailong's invitation and saw her in the teahouse, Rong Yi knew that there were some things that she had thought about but others had not.

Since Qin Dailong came back, except for the first time when she showed sadness and weakness in front of him, she has rarely seen her since, and every time she sees her, she is "prepared".

That look was like telling herself that she was living a good life. Even if she took the wrong path back then, as long as she was willing to look back, she would still be able to live a good life.

As for whether it is true or false, others will not delve into it. Only she knows in her heart what it feels like.

Just like at this moment, she was also very exquisitely dressed and looked at him with a stern expression. Rong Yi couldn't react for a moment. Is it what she thought when she came to him this time?

Rong Yi sat down and looked at her.

There is a lot of wind outside. It should be a leisure day. It should be a relaxing time in the house, boiling a pot of wine, and living the comfortable life leisurely.

The teahouse seats were equally warm, but they didn't make people feel at ease. The way Qin Dailong spoke in no hurry made Rong Yi a little impatient.

It's not that I'm impatient with her, but I thought she came to see me this time for something important, but now that I'm here, she's making excuses, saying nothing, just wasting time, which makes people unhappy. .

"You came to me today just to drink this pot of tea with me?" Rong Yi spoke first.

Qin Dailong paused for a moment, smiled, and said, "Would you feel weird if I said yes?"

Rong Yi: "..."

How should I answer her?Given their pasts, it was indeed strange for them to be sitting together drinking tea at this moment.

But if these words are really spoken, then the person who wants to hurt this relationship will become you. When the time comes, no matter whether it is wrong or not, you will let down the whole heart of Zhonggong.

Rong Yi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and did not answer her words.

Qin Dailong didn't feel that she had gained any advantage verbally.

He just said: "I do have something important to ask you, but I think it's still time for us to sit down together and have a cup of tea. If you don't want to, I can tell you now."

Rong Yi was convinced that when he came in just now, her posture was not like this. When he saw her for the first time, he did not feel that the two of them wanted to have a conversation. If there was a third person present at this moment, the atmosphere between them might be different. It was better, but it was completely silent, leaving the two of them alone...

However, anyone can cultivate two faces, and you don’t have to compete to win and I lose.

Rong Yi took a deep breath: "What the county master said is serious."

Qin Dailong looked at her, with a smile on her face, but her heart felt cold.

Her feelings for Rong Yi are very complicated. From pity at the beginning, to guilt later, to begging her for mercy, and now, when she sees her again, her heart is filled with so much complexity that she can't say what she should be. What a feeling.

It's not joy, but a faint emptiness inside.After adding two more cups of tea, Qin Dailong said: "I know that the queen and you have already discussed the competition in various places, and the queen has agreed to you very happily."

In the second half, she spoke with a bit of gritted teeth, a hint of unwillingness and confusion.

Rong Yi said "hmm", with the fragrance lingering in her teeth, she said: "After all, this matter can't be delayed any longer. Once the various regulations and procedures are put in place, it cannot be solved in three or five days. This party competition , the empress wishes it to be victorious."

Qin Dailong was silent, looking at Rong Yi for a moment. Now she has long since lost her childishness, but there is something about her that seems to be innate and has not changed in these years. She is still as steady and down-to-earth as ever.

She seemed to become more and more beautiful. The youthfulness of her youth now had a mature charm. The years had settled in her eyes, making her so... unforgettable.

There are many people with good appearance, but there are very few people with good appearance like her. She seems to be fed by God, and everything goes smoothly.

She has been surrounded by the rich and powerful for many years, but she has not been tainted by the "aura" of the upper class at all.

Her eyes and every move she made were enough to show that she was still the same appearance as before, but she was no longer the same. After all, there had been changes. She was now the Crown Princess of the palace, and a private female minister who could stand alone.

Her life seems to be more exciting than everyone she knows. She has always been moving up and has never fallen down. This is such a rare and enviable thing.

Qin Dailong said: "How could I not know the importance of this Cuju competition? It's not like I haven't looked for empress before, just before you." At this point, her throat felt dry, her eyes twitched slightly, and she raised her eyebrows. He picked up the cup and took another sip.

Before she finished speaking, Rong Yi didn't speak, and just looked at her silently.

After the warm water entered her throat, Qin Dailong took a deep breath, her beautiful eyes dimmed slightly, and she said: "I can do this this time, and I also cherish this opportunity. I don't dare to relax, and I am afraid that I will suffer if I don't do it well. People laughed at me, but I had an idea early on and reported it to the palace..." At this point, she raised her eyes and looked at Rong Yi. In fact, if she had any ideas, she should first come to Rong Yi and Mrs. Qi to discuss them. After that, Rong Yi and Mrs. Qi would report to the middle palace. However, she should not report directly past them. It was inconsistent with etiquette.

But she didn't explain, and Rong Yi wouldn't be stupid enough to ask her for an explanation.

No matter how the hierarchy is divided, Qin Dailong is the empress who personally named her to do this, and the two of them have the same surname. Whatever Qin Dailong does, as long as it does not cause too big a problem, she should be ignored. One eye, one eye closed.

She continued: "I thought that as long as I thought of many things and said them, it would be my credit, but I forgot that trouble comes from speaking out. I was too anxious to prove myself, but I violated the royal taboo and caused trouble. The empress is unhappy, so..."

It was difficult for her to continue talking, to tell her own unhappiness in person in front of the person she least wanted to show her sorrow to.

Rong Yi was a little confused for a moment. Why did she say these words to herself?If she didn't talk about the matter between her and Zhonggong, the empress would definitely not mention it, so no one would know that she asked her out just to talk about such a thing?

Maybe even the person who said this didn't understand why he said this.

After silence, Qin Dailong said again: "I just want to know, what did you say that day to make the empress have such trust in you? Why are they willing to listen to whatever you say."

Qin Dailong didn't think deeply about this "them" when she said it, but Rong Yi took it in her heart.
