Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 149 Xiao Tingxuan's Explanation (5)
At this moment, she is half-squinting her phoenix eyes, and her long and slightly curled eyelashes are projected under her eye sockets like butterfly clothes. The silent light in her eyes is like an ancient tan, containing the charm of a demon.

Sitting next to her was Emperor Yuan Qing, who had also changed out of his court clothes at this moment, and was wearing a moon-white robe with dark patterns of silver silk and tufted flowers, his right hand was lazily resting on the queen's waist, and the lines of his peerless and charming face were completely soft When he got down, he looked at the woman who was feigning sleep in his arms, the deep and devilish black eyes carried an eternal tenderness and affection.

Seeing such a picturesque scene, Ling Xihan's breathing unconsciously stopped, and he lost his mind for a moment.

Hearing the sound, the queen opened her eyes, and the enchanting and eye-catching phoenix eyes burst out with a light like the moonlight in an instant, adding to her already unparalleled appearance.She smiled slightly, her eyes were like clear springs flowing, warming her heart.

At that moment, Ling Xihan seemed to hear the sound of flowers blooming.Only then did I understand what it means to be more charming than a flower, and to be so graceful in the world!

Beside him, Xiao Tingxuan had already bowed to salute.

"My son greets my father and queen mother."

Only then did Ling Xihan come to her senses, "Changle has met the emperor and the empress." The emperor doesn't like her, so it's better for her not to claim to be too close.

The queen sat up slowly, "Now that you're here, you don't need so many etiquettes." She told Bi Ying beside her, "Give me a seat."

Biying brought over the red sandalwood chair carved by Qingluan peony group, and placed a pink brocade cushion on it.Ling Xihan and Xiao Tingxuan sat down, waiting for the queen to speak.

The queen looked at the calm Ling Xihan, her phoenix eyes flashed.

"Han'er, don't you have anything to ask me?" She used 'I' instead of Bengong.

Ling Xihan smiled faintly, "If the Empress wants to talk, she will naturally tell Han'er."

The queen smiled, "You are very smart." She looked at Emperor Yuan Qing beside her, and then at Xiao Tingxuan. "You go out first, I have something to talk to Han'er alone."

Emperor Yuan Qing frowned and said softly, "Okay."

Xiao Tingxuan stood up, "My son will leave."

After the father and son left, the queen looked at Ling Xihan seriously.

"You already know who I am, don't you?"

Ling Xihan pursed her lips, her eyes covered with white mist.

"Second brother really..."

The queen's expression was gloomy, and there was a trace of pain in the phoenix's eyes.

"Yes, your dead uncle is your second brother in that world—Leng Aotian."

Although he already knew this fact, but hearing it with his own ears, Ling Xihan still couldn't help but tremble.She lowered her head and remained silent for a while, her voice slightly hoarse.

"He loves you very much." After saying this, she felt very complicated in her heart.

The queen stood up, her long skirt dragging the floor, and she walked slowly to the window.The fragrance from the potted magnolia plant placed on the window sill faded away the heavy dark clouds in her heart.

She looked out the window with distant and confused eyes, and did not speak.

Holding the hibiscus white jade cup in her hand, Ling Xihan took a sip of the top-grade Junshan Silver Needle, before she looked lightly at the white figure standing by the window: "Have you... loved him?" She didn't know why she would ask this question , just inexplicably, she asked.She wanted to know, did this woman love her second brother?
The Queen's body trembled, she closed her eyes and sighed softly.

"It was...unforgettable."

Ling Xihan was silent for a long time, and said: "That...is just a misunderstanding."

"I know." The queen turned around, with a wry smile on her lips. "He already told me the whole story."

"Then why are you?" Why empathize?Ling Xihan didn't ask this sentence, and now it's pointless to ask these questions.

The queen saw through her thoughts, and said quietly: "From the moment I stumbled and fell off the cliff, he and I were destined to have no ending."

Fall off a cliff!Ling Xihan's eyes shook.She never understood how deep love must be for a woman who can choose to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff for a man.How can such love be annihilated because of the reversal of time and space?It turned out that she didn't commit suicide because of the man's love affair, but she made a mistake...

She closed her eyes, bitter in her heart.

"I see."

The queen looked at her and asked softly, "Do you hate me?"

Ling Xihan opened his eyes and shook his head.

"Back then, it was the second brother who was sorry for you. If I were you, I wouldn't choose to look back."

The queen was slightly surprised, and then looked sad.

"But he... died for me after all."

"I know." Ling Xihan also stood up, walked to the queen's side, and smiled lightly. "I think, when the second brother died, he must have been very happy. Because he died for the woman he loved." She paused, and continued: "The second brother once told me that he would do anything for you. sacrifice."

The queen froze.

"At that time, I didn't understand. I always thought that no one in this world lived for a certain person. But that day at Baohua Temple, I met Prince Jing..."

The queen raised her eyes with complicated eyes.

"From his eyes, I saw the shadow of the second brother. They all love you deeply and are willing to give everything for you. At that time, I really understood what unswerving determination is."

"I will never change my mind!" The queen murmured and repeated these words, and suddenly smiled mischievously.

"It's a pity...it's not what I want." Her gaze suddenly became painful, "Back then...he was right in front of my eyes...to ashes, but I...couldn't save him." Her voice trembled, and a hazy look appeared in her eyes. Shui Guang, obviously very painful.

Ling Xihan was startled, the 'he' the queen was talking about was naturally her second brother.She didn't expect the second brother to be wiped out, which was really beyond her expectation.

"The deceased is gone." She sighed softly, "Second brother has a spirit in heaven, and I don't want to see you feel sad and blame yourself for him." She felt that this woman had a kind of magic power, which made it easy to make people feel distressed.Especially when she cries, people have a strong desire for pity and protection.Not only men, even women can't bear to see her pear blossoms with rain.

She sighed softly in her heart, such a woman is the real nemesis of a man.No wonder so many men are crazy about her.

In the solemn and splendid palace, the high-hanging plaque casts a faint halo under the orange-red rosy clouds in the sky.

In the octagonal pavilion, there are two slender figures sitting quietly, looking at the distance quietly, thoughtfully.

The sun is slowly setting, and the sky is slowly darkening.

Behind him, subtle footsteps slowly approached.The two turned around, and under the sunlight between them, the two Pingtings walked towards each other, with calm and contented smiles on their faces.

"Luo'er." When Emperor Yuan Qing saw the queen, his brows and eyes immediately softened, and he quickly walked up to hold her hand.
