Phoenix Nirvana: The King's Alluring Medical Concubine

Chapter 261 The most beautiful, but also the saddest

In the evening, Xia Zijin went to the Baihua Pavilion as scheduled, and she saw that Murong Yanye was already waiting there. He was alone and did not bring Xiao Yuanzi with him as she had imagined.

Xia Zijin walked over and said apologetically after saluting, "Your maidservant is late and kept the emperor waiting for a long time."

"I just came here too, let's go and sit in the pavilion." After Murong Yanye finished speaking, he walked into the pavilion.

Xia Zijin nodded and hurried to follow.

Going to the pavilion and sitting down, seeing Xia Zijin still standing there stupidly, Murong Yanye couldn't help feeling a little funny, looked at her and said calmly, "Come and sit down."

Before Xia Zijin could refuse, he continued: "You are too conspicuous standing like this, and if you startle the snake, I will punish you severely."

Xia Zijin looked around. It was really easy for her to be exposed standing like this, so she finally walked over and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The two sat not far or close, without speaking to each other but not as awkward as before, it was natural and comfortable.

Xia Zijin accidentally looked at the sky, and found a round moon hanging on it, and immediately said pleasantly: "Look, Your Majesty, the moon tonight is so round and beautiful."

Hearing this, Murong Yanye looked up and saw that there was indeed a full moon hanging high, and there were twinkling stars scattered around, it was really beautiful, but Murong Yanye shook his head slightly, "It is beautiful, but Not the most beautiful full moon I've ever seen."

Xia Zijin nodded, and couldn't help saying, "It's not the most beautiful full moon I've ever seen."

"Oh? Then tell me when did you see the most beautiful full moon?"

Xia Zijin smiled slightly, and looked sideways at Murong Yanye, "Since the emperor is the first to talk about this topic, it is natural that the emperor is the first to answer."

Murong Yanye was startled for a moment, then couldn't help laughing twice, "You are so bold, you dare to negotiate terms with me."

After a pause, Murong Yanye continued, "The most beautiful full moon I've ever seen was when I was outside the palace when I was a child. That day happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival. My closest relatives and I got together to enjoy the moon and eat the moon. The few moon cakes, the moon that day is the most beautiful, but also the saddest."

Xia Zijin froze when he heard Murong Yanye's last three words, did he mean when he was in Xiajia Village?Did he really feel the same as himself in his heart, thinking that the moon was the most beautiful that day?

The most beautiful, but also the saddest, because her mother left her that day, and her pale and beautiful face was forever engraved in her mind at that moment.

Seeing Murong Yanye's gradually dimming expression, Xia Zijin said silently in her heart: Changqing, I really miss my mother, I really want to go back to the days when we were a family together when we were young, how about you?
Suddenly Xia Zijin's cheeks felt cold quickly, and then tears poured out one after another. Xia Zijin hurriedly lowered her head, pretending to inadvertently wipe away the tears on her face, suppressing the soreness in her nose, and said with a smile: "This is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen." The full moon was also when we were young, when our family was together."

Murong Yanye didn't speak, and after a long time, he said softly: "You miss your family very much, don't you?"

One sentence almost caused Xia Zijin's tears to burst again, she sniffed and nodded, "I really want it, I really want it."

Murong Yanye nodded noncommittal, "No wonder you want to go out of the palace so much, cherish the time when your family is around, spend more time with them."

"Well, the servants will."
