Beauty Scheming: Remnant King and Concubine

Chapter 82

It was the last day of my mother's life, and everyone celebrated her birthday.

After lunch, he smelled of alcohol and went back to his room to take a bath.

A voice came from under the desk at the end of the bath, and Xiao Jier fled, leaving her there.She curled up on the ground, like a budding lotus, with a touch of shyness, tenderness, and timidity...

At that time, he was an innocent young man, and she was a ten-year-old ignorant girl. He saw her uncontested and desireless eyes, her unstained face, and the purity and innocence in her eyes. Some are afraid and helpless...

His heart had grown tender for her—the heart then, her then.

He thought of teasing her, and asked her, "Do you want to be my concubine?"

"No!" she blurted out.

"Isn't it? Then why did you peek at me taking a shower?"

"I... didn't!"

"Isn't there? Your position is just right?" Seeing her anxious and timid look, he couldn't help teasing her.

"I didn't want to peek..." She cried anxiously.

"But you have seen it." He said, "Girls, you can't show your body to a man, and you can't just look at a man's body. If you see it, you have to marry him. You must want to see me and then marry me , to enjoy the glory and wealth, just like those empresses outside."

"No! I don't want to marry you! I don't want to be an empress either! I just want to pick up beads!"

"This bead?" He found an agate bead in the bath and showed it to her.

She reached out to take it, but he refused and said, "This belongs to the eldest grandson of the emperor."

Then, he asked her to exchange something, and when he saw a red string on her neck, he stretched out his hand and pulled it out.

She said it was left to her by her mother.Knowing that her mother was dead, he instantly strengthened his belief that it was this, and held the wooden pendant tightly in his palm.

He took her wooden pendant and returned the agate bead to her.

Holding the agate beads in both hands, she walked out, turned around every three steps, and looked at him with tears in her eyes.Such tears made him feel an inexplicable throbbing, and he rushed over to stop her suddenly.

"Will you be my concubine when you grow up?"

She shook her head, making him anxious.She is still so young, but he just wants her, and wants to keep her fresh and shy like a lotus.

He coaxed the ten-year-old her: "If you become my concubine, no one will bully you. The empress will not scold you, the mother will not beat you, and I can take you out of the palace. You can go wherever you want." where to go..."

She agreed and said yes.He took off his jade pendant and put it on for her. It was a keepsake. He was afraid that she would not understand, so he specially asked: "Don't forget what you said today."

His mother's soul returned to heaven that day, and he was in the pain of losing his mother, ignoring anyone and anything.Occasionally, I touched the wooden pendant on my chest, and remembered that I had made a vow with a little girl, so the pain was less and the will was stronger.

He wanted her to come to him, but it was difficult to ask her.Enduring day after day, until his father was seriously ill, he was worried that if the situation changed, they would no longer have a fate, so he went to ask the second brother for this maid.

Seeing her taking care of Ji'er, I thought it was someone close to the second emperor brother.Unexpectedly, I searched for the second brother and everyone around Concubine Xian, even the eldest princess and their dowry maids, but she was not there.

"There were a lot of people that day, or the maids from other palaces were taking care of him." Empress Wu thought for a while, then suddenly remembered: "Could it be that Liangruo next to Ruji?"

"Liangruo?" He remembered the word on the wooden board - cool as a clear spring.It was her, it was her, he could hardly wait to see her.

Empress Wu recalled it carefully, and it must be her: "It should be her. She is Ruji's niece. Ji'er liked her when he saw her, and she took care of her when he ate. Later, she went out, and she might be by her side too. of."

Ruji?He didn't have friendship with Ru Ji, and she and Ru Ji were relatives, so the harem became complicated, so he didn't continue to look for her at that time.

But after her father passed away, the situation changed several times in a short period of time, and she also moved into Longfu Palace with Ruji.

At that time, he had been to Longfu Palace twice and saw her.After a glimpse, he found that she was no longer the timid little girl back then, but a cautious and beautiful girl.

He liked her quiet, intelligent eyes.He thought how happy it would be to take her hand for a walk and ride a horse.

However, he dared not ask anyone for her.

If he wants her, everyone knows how much she holds in his heart.Even if he didn't love her very much at that time, she was the one he wanted to protect.After his mother passed away, there was nothing important in his life, only her, only the memory she gave him that afternoon, and he tried his best to keep it.

Therefore, he chose to meet rather than miss.

Smart and calm as she is, she can live more peacefully by the Queen Mother's side than by his side.Although the deep palace is full of thrills, she is just an ordinary court lady when she is around the Queen Mother and Ru Ji; when she is around him, she will become a target of public criticism.

……

When the Empress Dowager bestowed the marriage, he saw her coming from outside the door, and he didn't want to believe it.A little excited, but also a sense of fate, which made him calm and calm.

During the preparations for the wedding, he waited quietly. On the one hand, he looked forward to this wife very much, and on the other hand, he was worried that she would be the queen mother's spy and bargaining chip.

It wasn't until the eve of the wedding that news came from the palace that the emperor entered her bedroom in the middle of the night, and he was completely disappointed in his heart.

On the wedding night, she broke herself.There was a wave of wavering in his heart, but it also made him even more unwavering.Her resoluteness strengthened his guess - she was the queen mother's secret agent.She did so well that she showed her flaws. Only a person with a heavy life would be so relentless.

Moreover, there are too many calculations in her eyes, and the tranquility and innocence he wants to protect are missing...

He once wondered if she had forgotten about that year.If she thought about it, would she turn her back on the queen mother and go to him wholeheartedly?
Sometimes, her eyes are calm.Even if there is no tenderness and no emotion, he is still moved by it, and he can't help but want to get close to her.Sometimes, her eyes are full of scheming and calculations, making him want to take revenge on her...

He remembered that she was holding red agate in both hands that year, and told her to stretch out her hand, peel the melon seeds and put them in her palm.

She knelt in front of him holding her empty hand, and he wanted to fill her with everything she wanted.That kind of heart made him peel melon seeds non-stop, filling her palms with melon seeds...

However, when he was full, he realized that she didn't need it at all.She just needs to know all about him and go to the queen mother to exchange for what she wants.

What is this bunch of melon seeds worth to her?

Fortunately, he was thinking about her so much that he had stripped her for so long.

For punishment, or for giving up?He made her kneel in the corridor all night...

……

She said that when she saw him with Yin Chuxin, he almost went crazy.He didn't want her to see him with other women, he was afraid that she would be disappointed, and he didn't even give him a chance to fall in love with him... He thought that any fantasies she had about him when she was wearing that jade pendant were seeing him She died while embracing Yin Chuxin.

The queen mother gave her a decree, she should have approached him proactively, but she disappeared without a trace...

He was not willing to end his relationship with her like this, it never even started!
Having nothing to do, he sent someone to deliver a letter to Yunyang, asking him to bring Yunwei to his house as a guest!Inviting someone to be a guest like this, he may be the No. 1 pioneer.

……

Hearing that she kept birds, he asked someone to give her cats and dogs, hoping to deepen his bond with her.

That cat is very hateful, it specializes in catching birds, she will definitely scold him with gritted teeth; the dog is specially selected by him, it is of a good breed, very intelligent, it will be half the size of a human when it grows up, and it has followed her since childhood By his side, he will recognize her and protect her.

Those two little things almost turned Jingyue Court upside down.

As he expected, she released the bird.

Unexpectedly, she held the puppy in her arms.When Green Shoot told him, he was so angry that he almost broke his pen.

Since he has decided to want this woman, he will not allow anyone to be intimate with her, not even a dog!So, even though it was specially chosen for her, when she said that she would give it to Yunwei, he agreed without hesitation!
……

As soon as they met in the bamboo forest, she rubbed his legs for him, looked up and smiled, and the tenderness and purity of the past...

He knew that she hadn't changed.What little defense he had had crumbled.
