The maid is the queen

Chapter 69 Deception
It's him, the heartbeat is really fast.

In panic, I heard him say: "My lord wants to see Yun Cairen. I heard from the people in the palace that Yun Cairen is here in Zhenghua Palace."

His voice is still so pleasant, he came back, I heard his voice, I just need to go a few steps forward and I may be able to see him from the gate.

However, I didn't dare to go forward, my steps were heavy, and I couldn't even take a step.

The father-in-law still refused and said: "Yun Cairen has not returned to the palace at this moment, the third prince asks you to come back later, the slave will report to the master of Cairen, but the emperor has said first, people outside the palace are not allowed to enter without the emperor's permission." Zhenghua Palace."

Does he know that Xia Juntang will definitely come to the palace to find me?He blocked him and didn't let him see me.

"My king just arrived in the capital last night. I hunted a lot of furs in the northwest, and I hope my father-in-law will send them to the palace." He was not angry.

It's just that the father-in-law didn't accept it: "Without the emperor's permission, the servants dare not take it privately. It's better for the third prince to take it back first."

Next, he didn't speak, and was silent for a long time before he said softly: "Okay, thank you, father-in-law." I could almost feel his sigh, and it really was a long sigh after a while. Voice.

Xia Juntang, Xia Juntang, it turns out that no matter how many years pass by, no matter how many things change people, I can still understand you.

At this moment, you must be very reluctant to look inside the palace gate, hoping to see me appear.

You are outside the wall, and I am inside the wall. I can hear your voice through the high wall that cannot pass, but you don't know how much I want to cry at this moment.

The plum blossoms in my hand fell down one after another, I turned around and ran towards the side door.

I really want to see you, Xia Juntang, don't be lonely, I'm really working hard to wait for you to come back, even though I know it's impossible for us, please forgive me for not being able to help it all of a sudden.

I want to see you, see if you have been beaten by the violent wind, frost, rain and dew in the northwest, and want to know whether you have been well all the time when you disappeared.

I ran fast, I heard the sound of my heart beating faster, the tears in the corners of my eyes slid down, I raised my hand to wipe it, but inadvertently saw the emperor standing on the second floor looking at me quietly.

I ordered myself to stop, turned around again, picked up the snow-white plum blossoms scattered all over the ground, and ran again, but instead of going to the side door, I jumped up to the second floor, and ran to his side in one breath, panting I hugged his great An's waist with one hand, and raised the plum branch with fallen petals in front of him with the other. I tried to smile: "It's so beautiful, I just went to the plum garden to break it."

He lowered his head and sniffed lightly, and said lightly, "Very good."

The father-in-law beside him asked respectfully: "Your Majesty, Yun Cairen has returned, can I have lunch?"

He snatched the plum blossom from my hand, looked at it for a while, then let go and threw it downstairs: "No need, I will have lunch with the Empress Dowager at noon today."

I seemed to hear the slight pain of plum blossoms hitting Luoxue. Holding his waist, I felt so stiff. His cold hand pulled away my hand and said: "Are you happy today?"

The words were weird, I lowered my head and didn't dare to look at his black eyes that could see through people's hearts, I felt guilty, if I hadn't wiped my tears, I wouldn't have noticed that he was standing on the second floor coldly watching my every move.

"I must be very happy!" He said lightly, touching my face with his fingers, and wiped away some things from the corners of my eyes: "Look, tears came out of laughter."

A touch of sarcasm, a cold temperature, I looked up at him, his eyes lost the love I was familiar with, and there was ice in his black eyes, he didn't look at me more, and took his father-in-law downstairs.

And I looked down at the vast white snow field, and the plum blossoms scattered there were like someone's scattered hearts.

I can't figure out my own heart, what do I want now?I can't bear Xia Juntang's disappointment, but I also don't want to make the emperor sad.

His kindness to me, his doting on me, and the sourness in my heart when he was with others are not fake.

The emotion that had nowhere to hide made him see it straight.

At noon, he went to Concubine Mu's for dinner, and in the afternoon, the whole palace was bustling with people coming and going in and out of the palace. The maid told me that there was a play in the palace tonight, and there were many performances, which were really good.

I didn't have any thoughts, I was still standing on the second floor, looking down at everything, the cold wind couldn't sort out all the complexities in my heart.

In the anticipation of everyone, the sky finally darkened, the palace was full of joy, red lanterns were hung everywhere, the sound of drums, singing, and laughter rushed towards the lonely Zhenghua Palace. The solitude becomes more and more intense, and the brilliance of the lantern stretches my shadow long.

Eunuch Zhang came in from the palace and said flatly: "Master Cairen, the emperor invites Master Cairen to watch a play in Xixue Garden. All the masters in the harem are here, so it is better for Master Cairen not to be absent."

"Yeah." I responded lightly and followed him out.

It was so cold outside that people couldn't keep their eyes open, and the Xixue Garden was full of lights, making it very noisy.This is the atmosphere of Chinese New Year, but this is the first time for me to celebrate this kind of New Year. As long as I can remember, I spent the New Year with my mother, closing the door, lighting a candle, making dumplings and eating around the stove.As soon as the stove cover was lifted, the steaming dumplings were in front of my eyes, and my mother smiled happily at me: "Mother Zhiqiu, I have grown up by another year."

There are only me and my mother, but I never feel that it is a lonely thing. Now there are many, many people celebrating the New Year together, listening to the drama that only people have heard, before and after, all the crowds can overwhelm me, but I have never The frustration and loneliness of the past surrounded me heavily.

There are snacks, melons and fruits on the table, but I have no appetite at all. In this place at the back, I can't even see what is happening in the theater in front of me.
I sat quietly, listening to the people around me laughing and chatting, and felt that none of this had anything to do with me. It’s best not to make it public, and the winter coat he gave me is quite gorgeous, and I rarely wear it outside. I thought that if I left, no one would know, so I quietly got up and walked outside.

Finally, I came out. There were no more crowds outside the Xixue Garden, and there was no more noise. Outside the Xixue Garden, there were clusters of flowers and green trees. I sat down under the azaleas. Under the dim light, the azaleas were still It blooms beautifully, a beautiful and large plant.

In previous years, I would also pick a bunch of wild rhododendrons blooming in the mountains and put them in a vase. My mother always laughed at me, why I like flowers so much, in fact, I prefer to see the smile on her face.

Mother, today is Chinese New Year, have you reunited with Dad? Zhiqiu is no longer alone, Zhiqiu also has a child, looking up at the dark night, revealing a faint smile.

"People from the Li family are here again." There was an exasperated voice behind Du Juanhua.

"No, Concubine Li still wants to be a queen, but the emperor said that she will be queen in May."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I can't go to worry about the emperor at this moment. The emperor is enjoying the show. If I go, I will probably be annoyed, and my head will fall to the ground."

"Then where is the Li family?"

"If you don't tell King Jing, after all, it can be regarded as the military situation in the northwest."

"Just that person, okay?" The father-in-law was a little suspicious.

The other laughed lightly: "What's wrong with that? You said that it would be better to have someone act as a scapegoat than the two of us. Besides, King Jing has been in the northwest for a few months, isn't he alive and well?"

"That's right, then quietly find someone to send this matter to King Jing."

I didn't intend to listen to them, but I was a little confused. Isn't Xia Juntang's assassination in the northwest known to everyone in the palace?

I don't know what pulled me, but I stood up and quietly followed the two father-in-laws.

Xia Juntang is still watching the play, but he won't appear in the range that I can watch.No matter what the emperor does, it seems to be unintentional, but in fact he is quite intentional.

The two father-in-laws were afraid of alarming the emperor, and said that Xia Juntang would definitely go to see his mother and concubine later, and they would send it to Concubine Yi for a while.

I thought, I want to see him, even from a distance, I don't speak, I don't call him, I just look at him from a distance.

Walking alone in the silent harem, stepping on the snow felt extraordinarily loud.

Take it lightly and lighten it up a little more, after passing through the magnolia field, now there is only a field of yellow leaves accompanied by snow sleep, and the fragrance is no longer there.

Concubine Yi's palace door was wide open, and the lanterns had been lit long ago. Concubine Yi was waiting for her Xia Juntang to come, so she must be full of expectations.

I peeked quietly, and found that Concubine Yi was walking back and forth, while Aunt Zhuo sighed a little: "Miss Concubine, don't worry, the third king will come over."

"I want to see him. I don't know if my Juntang has changed. You are really serious at noon today. Why didn't you wake me up?" Concubine Yi lamented again and again.

Zhuogu said again: "Taifei, in front of the Three Kings, you must not mention his injury, otherwise he will definitely suffer another pain."

The concubine was a little impatient: "I know, I know, you have said it many times, and I will definitely not mention it. He said that he is doing well, so I just co-author and agree on it."

I clenched my fist tightly, is there something hidden in it?Whether Xia Juntang is good or bad, and whether something really happened, I want to ask him himself to know best.

And him?Where is the emperor?Concubine Noble and Aunt Zhuo, are they right? I don't dare to think deeply about it. Some things make me unacceptable.

I didn't even dare to stay, I turned around and ran, I didn't dare to go the right way, I was afraid that I would meet him so by chance, I didn't even dare to take the trail over to Zhuju, I was afraid that he would turn around from that side again.

Like a flustered little mouse, I fled in a hurry and fled to the plum garden, hugging the plum tree and shaking it vigorously, come down, rain the fragrance of plum blossoms all over my face, and make me calmer.

I can already guess that seven or eight points are a kind of deception. My aunt will lie to me, maybe because of her wish, but those two little father-in-laws, they don't know me, and what they say will never lie.

I believe them, because I still wonder why he likes me, loves me, and makes me compromise.When Concubine Mu looked at me, she was a little mocking and contemptuous.

Holding the hair with both hands and pulling it vigorously, he sat on the ground in vain and gasped for breath.

How could I believe that when he said that he fell in love with me after meeting him three times, being tame is not the same as a feeling.
