The emperor's favorite useless concubine

Chapter 32
Yi Lin looked at the ignorant Yi Ren, and thought of her kindness to the empress, she was relieved in her heart, and said repeatedly: "Yi Ren, you go, you must obey the rules when you see the empress."

Yi Ren then nodded, stood up, and walked out with the maid.

The direction the court lady was walking was not Fenglin Palace, but a dilapidated garden behind Fenglin Palace.

Although Yi Ren didn't say it, but he knew it in his heart. When he was confused, a moving voice comparable to Xianle came: "Are you Yi Ren?"

She raised her head, and saw Rongxiu beside the pine tree in front of her. Queen Rong was still dressed in the same extremely clean and simple way as before, with a simple hairstyle, but a bun tied loosely behind her head, pinned with a wooden hairpin.

Yi Ren inexplicably remembered the bun He Lanxue gave her when she entered the palace for the first time—it turned out to be an imitation of Empress Rong's dress.

Yi Ren didn't feel uncomfortable, on the contrary, she suddenly felt that He Lanxue was very cute.

She's an infatuated kind—but why didn't he marry her back then?
what a pity.

Just as she was thinking, Rong Xiu had already walked in front of her slowly, her gaze slowly slipped down from her face, and finally stuck to her scarf.

"Tianshan snow armpit fur?" Seeing that clear and ethereal face slightly changed, although she concealed it very well afterwards, Yi Ren still saw the shock and disappointment in Rong Xiu's eyes: "Is this given to Yi Ren by King Xiaoyao?"

"Eh." Yiren didn't know whether it counted or not, but agreed: "He put it on for me."

Rong Xiu smiled slightly, lowered her head, and said with indescribable tenderness, "The lord seems to be treating the concubine well."

"It's okay, he provided me with food and drink for free, and didn't ask me to do anything." Yi Ren said matter-of-factly.

Rongxiu's smile grew stronger, and she seemed to carelessly touched the smooth fox fur on her neck, and continued: "This armpit fur was originally a gift from King Xiaoyao for my betrothal, but I didn't expect to make it for you with my own hands. Put it on—As expected, Ah Xue did not lie to me, he has already put it down. Yi Ren, from now on, treat Ah Xue well."

It took Yi Ren a long time to react before she realized that the 'Axue' that Rongxiu was talking about was He Lanxue.

When Yiren first heard He Lanxue's 'nickname', she felt awkward, but later, she found it very cute.

Axue, Axue, but it also suits him.

He Lanxue had always been like a stupid kid—but although Rongxiu's voice was gentle, Yiren couldn't hear her sincere blessings, but instead had a faint sour taste.

With this in mind, she decided to refute He Lanxue's rumors: "I haven't let go, Axue has always liked you, Queen Rong."

Rong Xiu raised her head and looked at her blissfully, her eyes flickering: "How do you know?"

"You can see it with your eyes." Yi Ren smiled and said, "He was really worried that you were kidnapped that day."

Yi Ren still clearly remembered He Lanxue's fear, the fear of losing, deeply infected her.

Otherwise, Yi Ren thought he didn't have the courage to hold the blade with his bare hands.

"But after you disappeared, he was also very worried. Although he was standing outside Fenglin Palace, where did his heart go?" Rong Xiu said shyly.

After being assassinated that day, He Lanxue stood outside Fenglin Palace all night because she was worried about her safety. She didn't know it.

In fact, she also stayed up all night, standing inside the palace door, looking through the crack of the door at the handsome young man who was independent and dewy outside.

She still remembers that year when she was young, deep in the flowers, He Lanxue played the piano, she danced leisurely, and the wind lifted her sleeves.The flowers fall into the sea.

At that time, his eyes were so focused, music flowed from his fingertips, and there was a smile on his lips.

However, the man standing outside Fenglin Palace that night seemed so restless.

Rong Xiu stared at him in the same place, watching He Lanxue who had been in love with her for more than ten years, and finally became unfocused because of another woman.

Those beautiful eyes will no longer only reflect her figure.

"Actually, he should have given up a long time ago. He didn't fight back then, now, what do I expect?" Rong Xiu seemed to be lost in memory, and said something dreamily.

"He Lanxue said that it's not that he didn't fight, but that he couldn't win the fight." Although Yi Ren didn't understand much, he still kindly defended.

"Did he fight?" Rong Xiu glanced at her and said with a wry smile, "He knew that I could only be the empress, and our Rong family could only marry the Tian family—but he handed over the throne to He Lanchun in vain. In his heart, what am I?" After a pause, she seemed to feel something, and her Xianshu expression suddenly became fierce: "That day, you shouldn't have saved me, if I died in front of Axue, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life. I, rather than empathize with others, fall in love with you!"

Yi Ren didn't expect Rong Xiu to react like this, felt bored, pursed her lips, and decided to turn around and leave.

But after walking a few steps, Yi Ren turned back again.

The starry eyes that had never woken up were surprisingly bright. She looked at Rong Xiu, articulated clearly, and said word by word: "If you really like him, why would you hold grudges against him because he refused to fight for you? I don’t know what it’s like to like someone. Like him, no matter what he does, you shouldn’t abandon him—and He Lanxue, I’m not sorry for you. He’s just not cruel enough or ambitious enough. If you punish him for this ——I doubt that you used him subconsciously from the beginning to the end. If He Lanxue wasn't the prince in the first place, would you still like him?"

Rong Xiu was startled, unable to speak for a long time.

Yi Ren, on the other hand, turned around clumsily, and walked away without any elegance at all.

Her expression was still ignorant, as if what she said just now was not what she said at all.

However, after walking a few steps, she stopped again.

She saw He Lanxue.

He Lanxue in snow clothes, He Lanxue in tall and tall, He Lanxue in deep eyes.

She couldn't understand him, just as he had never understood her.

He Lanxue walked towards them, brushed past Yi Ren, and walked straight to Rong Xiu.

Then, he got short and knelt down on one knee.

With bony and delicate hands, she leisurely rolled up Rongxiu's long skirt that dragged the floor.

Rong Xiu lowered her head and looked blankly at He Lanxue, who was so graceful, with such a beautiful face, such a gentle but indifferent expression.

And she will be lost in the end—this kind of loss is far more profound than when she entered the palace in Japan.

When He Lanxue finally stood up and smiled lightly at her, Rong Xiu finally burst into tears.

The white clothes fluttered like the wind, He Lanxue turned around, not stained by dust or fate.

The first time - when he left Rongxiu, his footsteps were so firm.

When he walked in front of Yi Ren, Yi Ren was still staring at him in a daze. He Lanxue reached out and held her, pulling away the goose-like Yi Ren without saying a word.

Yi Ren staggered for a moment, then stumbled and followed him.

He Lanxue walked quickly.Quick but calm, he kept walking like this, and along the way, countless court ladies and eunuchs who greeted him were all ignored by him.Yi Ren almost suspected that they walked from one end of the palace to the other, and did not know how many courtyards they had crossed.After passing through so many corridors, He Lanxue finally stopped.

"Yi Ren, this king has divorced you. From now on, you are no longer a princess. After the banquet is over, I will ask someone to send you home." After Yi Ren stood firm, he heard such words.

"You don't want me anymore?" Yi Ren blinked and asked suspiciously.

He Lanxue smiled slightly, and shook her head: "It's not that I don't want you, but I'm letting you go——you don't like me, so why die of old age in the palace?"

Yi Ren replied without thinking: "Because...it's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree. You are a big tree, and I want to hide under you to enjoy the shade."

Such a standard food and clothing parent, she has to pay close attention to it.

He Lanxue didn't expect her answer, she was so frank and cute that she didn't even bother to say that she pretended to like it.

Startled, he smiled cheerfully: "Okay, if my tree doesn't fall, it will definitely block you for the rest of my life."

When he smiled, Yi Ren felt that his eyes were full of gorgeous flowers, and He Lanxue's smile at the moment was so beautiful that she lost her mind.

Perhaps, he is also a good comic prototype.she secretly thought.

After waiting for a while, Yi Ren repeated uncertainly: "You mean, you are willing to support me forever?"

Commitment is very important. With this millionaire's one thousand gold promise, you will have no worries about food and clothing in your future life.

"Yes, if I have the ability, I will definitely support you for the rest of my life." He Lanxue looked at her playfully, and said softly, "I'm afraid this tree will soon fall—when the time comes, you will have to find another big tree." , continue to live your life without wind or rain, you know?"

"There's no need to look for anything else, I'll just rely on you." Yi Ren was overjoyed. Although she was about to marry He Lanxue before, she was still a little uncertain and apprehensive in her heart, fearing that one day she would be kicked out and left on the streets.

But now, He Lanxue actually spoke well, and contracted her for the rest of her life like this. Could she be unhappy?
"If it wasn't a big tree, would you still rely on me?" He Lanxue asked with gentle eyes.The faint smile on his face was stained with loneliness.

"Then I'll catch bugs for you, fertilize frequently, let you bask in the sun every day, and wait until you become a big tree again." Yi Ren talked nonsense, fearing that He Lanxue would go back on his word.

He Lanxue smiled again, but this time, she knew her heart indescribably.

"From now on, don't tell the queen what you said just now." After a pause, He Lanxue finally got back to the subject: "She didn't apologize to me, it was my fault."

Yi Ren blinked, but said nothing.

He Lanxue suddenly reached out, rubbed her hair, and said softly: "If you talk like this, you will damage the queen's reputation. The queen is pure and pure, and she is absolutely loyal to her majesty. It is only my personal wish to like her, no matter what she does. , what I say, or what I think, it doesn’t matter, what’s important is that everything I do is done willingly, do you understand?”

Yi Ren didn't understand, so she shook her head without concealing it.

Like is a simple thing, why everyone makes it so complicated.

He Lanxue was calm and breezy, but he didn't explain again: "Let's go, let's go to the banquet."

It was getting late, and the setting sun lightly covered the imperial city.
