Chapter 698 Twilight Spring Flower Forest, Dreams, Memories
In the flower forest in late spring, a quiet woman sits on a small chair in the forest.

On the incense table in the woman's hand, there was a delicate fragrance, accompanied by the faint fragrance of flowers, which was refreshing and beautiful.

The well-behaved maid came over with tea, saw the pretty woman on the small chair, and said, "Madam, this is a new pastry specially ordered by the Imperial Dining Room, called Xuerong Cake, which is said to be a fresh cake from the West." practice."

"Put it down." The woman said lightly, her eyes fixed on the old book in her hand, this book is really old, from the yellowed corners, it is not difficult to see its age.

If the maid put it down, she stood quietly by the side, waiting.

"How about the imperial study?" After a long time, the woman on the chair suddenly asked.

The palace lady replied honestly: "Mother, the emperor went up to the imperial study to ask the princes homework, the third prince answered a question, and the emperor praised the third prince a few words."

The woman put down the book when she heard the words, looked at the maid, and frowned: "Why did the emperor go to the imperial study today? Isn't King Quan going to Beijing tomorrow?"

The palace maid said: "I don't know, I just heard from the father-in-law in front of the imperial court that it seems that the emperor will choose a prince to go out with the prince for the banquet tomorrow, and it has been confirmed that it should be the seventh prince."

The woman smiled, opened the book again, and said: "The Seventh Prince will seize the opportunity, and the matter of being on par with the Crown Prince will never be without him."

The maid lowered her eyes and said nothing more.

The woman gave another order: "After class, ask A-Leng to come over. Next month will be the anniversary of A-Leng's concubine's death. We have to think of a way to send him out of the palace."

"Yes." The maid obediently responded and continued to stand by.

It wasn't until the time was almost up that the woman left lightly and headed all the way to the direction of the imperial study.

After the woman left, another uninvited guest stepped into the flower forest covered in strange fragrance.

The sound of light and steady footsteps came from behind, and the woman on the chair seemed to have sensed it. She put down the unfinished miscellaneous book again, and sighed without looking back, "Why are you here again?" ?”

Behind the chair, a young eunuch with a face like a powder, with a clear and handsome face, lowered his head, and slowly approached. He stood beside the woman, in a respectful posture, but his words were full of casualness: "The servant came to see the empress. "

The woman turned her head, looked at him and said: "I heard that after two days, the empress dowager will leave the palace again. You should be busy at this time, why come to my Changyang Palace when you have time?"

The little eunuch took two steps forward, and when he was in front of the woman, he stared at her with eyes full of deep meaning, and his voice was soft and relaxed: "The servant misses your mother."

The woman froze, glared at him, and reprimanded, "Hustle!"

The little eunuch lowered his head and didn't make a sound.

The woman looked at his appearance, and said: "Although you were originally from my palace, you have been under the concubine's family for many years, and you no longer need to respect me as a master. In the future, you should not come. If people see , it’s hard to explain.”

"The servant came here to report to the concubine." The little eunuch said.

The woman frowned: "Xiang Yi, I don't want you here, do you understand?"

The little eunuch fell silent.

In the huge forest of flowers, except for the slight breeze, there was no sound at all.

Silence permeated between the two, and after a while, the woman stood up from the chair, turned around, and went into the hall.

As soon as she took a step, the little eunuch behind her quickly rushed over and blocked her with one step.

The woman frowned.

The little eunuch said: "I am going to Guanyuan Temple. I am afraid that the servant will not be able to return to the palace before the Chinese New Year. Today, I beg your mother to let the servant serve you for a day. There is no need for anything else. Just let the servant serve your mother as before. Serve the empress to eat, grind ink for the empress, and be with the empress..."

The woman looked at him deeply, her expression was not very good: "A-Leng is coming today."

The little eunuch immediately said: "The servant can hide in..."

"You belong to the concubine, and here you are neither fish nor fowl. If A-Leng finds out, it will only make it more difficult to explain. A-Leng is still on guard against me. I don't want him to misunderstand that I am someone with schemes. I have been around for many years, so I should understand!"

The little eunuch was silent again.

The woman finally said: "You go!"

At the end, add a sentence: "Don't come again!"

After the words fell, the woman left without looking back.

And the little eunuch stood in place, staring at the woman's back until the woman's figure disappeared, and he didn't look back.

Two days later, the little eunuch left the palace with the concubine. Before leaving, a maid from Changyang Palace came and secretly gave him something.

The little eunuch paid the silver, and the maid took the benefit and said with a smile: "This is the painting by your empress yesterday. It is a great risk for the servant to steal it out. Please remember to Eunuch Xiang. If there is a chance, the father-in-law will promise the servant to accept the painting." In front of the concubine empress, she moves for the slaves."

"If you do things well for me, your benefits will be indispensable." The little eunuch said.

The palace lady responded with her mouth, her face was always cheerful.

After the maid left, the little eunuch opened the scroll. It was a picture of appreciating spring. In a garden full of fragrant flowers, a quiet and beautiful woman was reclining on a comfortable small chair with a book in her hand. There is an incense table at hand, there are only a few shadows of smoke on the incense table, and there is nothingness. There is also a plate of pastries next to the incense table. The pastries have not been touched, and they are placed there like a decoration.

Touching the woman on the painting with his fingers, the little eunuch's eyes were full of nostalgia. After a long while, he returned to the study, quickly grinded the ink, and used the same painting method as the hand in the painting. Next to the woman, a figure was added. Wearing eunuch uniform, with a happy smile on his face, resolutely, it is his own handsome appearance.

After drawing for a long time, when the finished product was finally finished, he dried the drawing paper, and saw that the drawing was almost as if done by one person, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and his eyes were full of tenderness.

"Huh!" A small gasp sounded in the quiet room.

It was night, Xiang Yi sat up startled from the bed, stretched out his hand to touch his forehead subconsciously, felt the cold sweat all over his head, he exhaled, pressed his fingers on the heart, and clenched his fingers into fists.

The little lady who was watching the night outside the door heard the movement, and called softly: "Elder-in-law, are you awake?"

Xiang Yi glanced at the silhouette outside the door, and replied, "Yes."

Asked outside: "Do you want slaves to come in and serve?"

"No need."

The outside responded honestly and stopped disturbing.

Xiang Yi lay back on the big bed again, staring blankly at the top of the bed curtain, thinking of the beautiful figure of the woman in his memory just now in his dream.

Restraining the surge in his heart, Xiang Yi tightly closed his eyes.

How long has it been since you dreamed?
Even he himself can't remember...

In the beginning, he was always longing to fall asleep, longing to go back to the time before that person died in his dream, to be with her like a long, long time ago, to be with her, just watching her smile would be enough for him to be satisfied for a whole day.

But later, as the years passed, he found that he could never dream of her again?

No matter how she fell asleep, no matter how much she missed, that person would never appear again. She didn't want to see him, even if it was in a dream, she refused to see him.
