The palace concubine is charming and chaotic: the country is still the same

Chapter 27 Emperor Heart (1)

Imperial Heart (1)

Before you know it, the morning sun rises, and the setting sun dyes Luoshui Lake a layer of blood red, and the ripples on the clear waves are slightly rippling.

Xia Lanyue, who was sitting on the shore of the lake, looked at her reflection in the water, unconsciously leaned forward, and smashed her reflection in the water with her hand.The calm lake suddenly fell apart, and within a moment, there was boundless tranquility again.Fu again reached out to break it, and repeated this several times without getting tired.

That night, she thought about many, many things about being in the palace.

"You still like water so much."

The quiet voice blew into her ears along with the warm morning wind, she paused her hands that were submerged in the water, then got up from the shore, turned around and stared at Su Jin standing behind her.

The warm sun shone against the backlight, reflecting the brilliance of his body, and his handsome face was even more gentle and elegant under the rippling water.

"In the mansion, you just love to sit by the lake alone in a daze. After all these years in the palace, you still can't change it." Su Jin's voice came gradually, and he seemed to always have such a faint expression, staring at his eyes. He looked at her tenderly, seemingly affectionate but actually ruthless.

Xia Lanyue lowered her head sadly, looked at the tender grass on her toes that was blown by the wind, and said flatly: "A few days ago, the emperor gave me the surname Xia, Xia Lanyue."

When Su Jin heard this sentence, her brows slightly furrowed, but they quickly opened up: "Xia?"

She lowered her head and smiled softly, as if she was mocking herself: "Anlan in the world, Luanyue, the divine pearl, is just an excuse. My name is taken from the nickname of Concubine Yuan, Lanyue."

He didn't answer, and there was only the rustling of the wind and grass all around. Xia Lanyue slowly raised her head and stared into his eyes, as if she wanted to look into his heart.

"If you didn't go to Caiwei Palace last night, you might never know that you, my lord, have always regarded me as her substitute. The reason why you named me Lanyue is to attract Suchen's attention to me with this name, right? Sure enough, he did give the surname Xia."

"You saw her." When Su Jin talked about Xia Zixi, her voice had no warmth, but there were too many emotions hidden in that sentence, which made her elusive.

"She is so beautiful, worthy of your love for her for so many years." She said this sincerely. Although there was only a short conversation last night, she could feel Xia Zixi's simple and elegant heart, and more importantly, It's because she has a heart that truly loves Sujin. She has loved and waited for so many years.

She is not jealous, and asks herself, if she were herself, would she be able to love Sujin as much as Xia Zixi did.

Maybe, she can't.

When Su Jin heard her words, a shallow smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Lan Yue, the relationship between me and her can't be explained clearly in a few words, let alone you."

Xia Lanyue shook her head: "You don't need to explain, even if I know the origin of this name, I still won't forget my purpose of entering the palace."

Su Jin raised her eyes slightly, looked at her for a moment, and then said: "It's good that you understand."

She stopped looking at him, turned her back, looked at the sky, and said in a calm voice: "The matter of the emperor bestowing the surname is too conspicuous, if Mu Yanran becomes suspicious, the trace of trust I only gained by being around her will be gone."

"I didn't expect that the emperor would give the name. It's really tricky. Do you care about it?"

"I don't want to stay in Bailu Palace any more. Find an excuse to transfer me away from Bailu Palace. I can work next to Concubine Hui, so I can still get close to the emperor."

"You met Mu Piaoyu." He seemed to see through her heart, right in one sentence.
