There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 324
In this ancient times where men were respected, she had forgotten how long she had not seen such an independent and self-reliant woman.

For some reason, she always felt that the girl in front of her was not as humble and submissive as other maids in terms of knowledge and conversation, and seemed to be somewhat knowledgeable.

But after listening carefully, she found that she had little knowledge, and she didn't even know a few words.

But her consciousness, her thoughts, and her temperament are neither like Xiaojiabiyu nor like a lady, but rather free and unrestrained.

"Presumably... Miss Yulan has seen a lot of the world." Except for girls who have seen the world, who else can reach such a state.

"The servant is very ashamed. It's just that when the disaster happened in his hometown, he escaped with his parents. Except for some misfortunes in the middle, the servant was left wandering around begging for a living by himself."

It's also suffering, Tang Wanning thought to herself, and comforted her.

"Since you have nothing to worry about going out of the palace alone, why do you still want to go out? Wouldn't it be good to stay in the palace and become a nanny in the future?"

"If you want to go back to the empress, the servant is not willing. In this life, the servant only wants to go out and live an ordinary life. Please ask the empress to learn from it."

Tang Wanning just looked at her with emotion in her eyes.

"Yes, there is no freedom in staying in the palace after all."

"Forget it, this time I was careless. To accompany you, how about I prepare a generous dowry for you? As for what kind of person you like, it depends on your luck."

There was a slight movement in Yulan's heart, as if a spring breeze suddenly blowing over the sky, her whole heart was brightened, and she quickly expressed her gratitude.

"Thank you Queen Empress."

……

Coming out of Yulan's residence, Tang Wanning felt a little embarrassed, so she went to the Imperial Study to find Xia Houjue.

The Jinhua Hall has east and west side halls. Since the two separated, they lived separately, even with a few rooms in between.

She has to be busy with many things every day, and so is he. The two of them just take pictures occasionally during meals, and sometimes they are often there, and sometimes their mother is there, so they can't talk properly.

She didn't think there was anything wrong before, but when this happened, she felt that she had to go to Xia Houjue to apologize.

Xia Houjue naturally knew why she came, so he deliberately didn't summon the ministers, but just waited for her while reviewing papers.

Seeing that she finally came, she didn't speak, just smiled and waved back as usual, letting Tang Wanning sit down beside him.

"emperor!"

"Why is Wanwan here when you are free?"

"You know!" She lowered her head, wrapped her fingertips around the newly embroidered handkerchief, feeling a little guilty, a little guilty, a little embarrassed, and her face was very uncomfortable.

"I've already gone to Yulan, she's fine, I...let her take care of herself before leaving the palace, and prepare a dowry for her."

In fact, Tang Wanning rarely asked anyone to apologize in her life. Back then, she was the daughter of a great general. She was so honored in the Northwest. Even if she did something wrong, she was right. Who would dare to ask her to apologize?

At that time, she never thought that one day she would have to apologize to a court lady, but she didn't feel so ashamed. On the contrary, it showed that after all these years, she had finally matured.

"it is good."

"And then?" Xia Houjue looked at her with a smile.

"Why did you come to see me today when you have time?"

"Because I still have to apologize to you, I shouldn't have mistrusted you." She buried her head even lower, feeling a little embarrassed all over.

For so many years, Xia Houjue had never seen such a soft side of her, and she was completely different from the person who used to hold a bow and sword at every turn.

For some reason, Xia Houjue was a little excited.

You must know that Wanwan kicked him out of bed on the wedding night and didn't apologize to him, but now it's... not easy to say that.

"It's okay, in the future..."

"There will be no future, and I will never doubt you again." She looked at him with sincerity in her eyes.

"it is good!"

He held her in his arms, feeling the body of the person in his arms suddenly stiffened, and then gradually became soft, gentle, and fragrant like a blooming peony.

"Wanwan, shall I take you out?"

"What are you going out for?" Tang Wanning was a little surprised, but she no longer had the excitement she had at the beginning. Even after she became a mother and had a child, she lost interest in going outside the palace. Raise him and accompany him to grow up.

"Let's not go to the boats and cars. Let's be an ordinary couple. Let's raise a fish pond, plant a piece of land, and work from sunrise to sunset. Do you think it's good?"

"Okay? That's not bad. When are you leaving?"

"That depends on when you are able to take charge of the government."

Tang Wanning: "..."

……

Half a month later, Yulan's injuries were all healed, she took the rewards from the emperor and queen, and walked out of the palace wearing the red dress she wore when she first entered the palace.

The maid who was supposed to go out of the palace with her had been arranged to go out half a month ago, and this time she was the only one.

Carrying a small bag close to her body, accompanied by Feng'er, she arrived at a side gate of the palace, where eunuchs and guards were guarding.

As long as she handed over the document in her hand, she would have nothing to do with the palace in this life.

Yulan looked at the document with the red stamp in her hand, and then frequently looked back at the highest palace in the palace.

Her tears suddenly couldn't stop, and they flowed down her cheeks.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, my servants are leaving here, and I will never see each other again in this life." She looked at the road she had walked all the way with tears in her eyes, sobbing uncontrollably.

From now on, she no longer has to watch him talking and laughing with the empress, no longer has to watch them having fun with the little prince, no longer has to watch him show deep affection for others.

She will only remember him who loves the people like a child, who cares about the people, who cuts taxes for the people in order to promote the New Deal, and even fights with the officials at all costs.

In fact, she is still very lucky, isn't she?
There are so many people in the Great Xia Dynasty, so many people, how many of them have seen the emperor?How many people know what the emperor looks like?
Hehe, she should be content with being a little orphan, right?

But even if she is a little orphan, she should really cherish herself, and there will be no such thing as suicide in the future.

She will live for herself for the rest of her life.

Looking at the green brick road outside the palace, looking at the houses lined up outside the palace, and hearing the faint smoke from the street not far away, she suddenly turned around and knelt down in the direction of the Jinhua Palace.

"Your majesty, this kneeling is to repay your kindness for saving me from the fire and water. We will never see each other again."

After three kowtows, Yulan stood up from the ground, stepped forward calmly and handed over the document in her hand, said goodbye to Feng'er, and strode towards the Kangzhuang Avenue outside the palace.
