The Fox Comes from Outer World

In the evening, when I was half dead from exhaustion, I offered to rest, and at the same time called for the play to be performed at the Golden Lotus Palace. The female official who was serving me saw that I didn't look too good so she hurriedly went to the Agarwood Palace to ask for an order. Although there was a rule within the palace that strange men were not allowed to meet in private with their wives, right now, the person leading the six palaces was Fei Fei, and the most favored one was also Fei Chan. Now, everyone was saying that Lady Chan was blessed and carried a dragon son. Her son would definitely become the crown prince in the future, and the emperor often visited the Agarwood Palace. This made her even more glorious. Therefore, as long as she orders me to only say that she sympathizes with my longing for my homeland and allows me to meet with those from my homeland, Yue Ze and Bai Lin will have to enter my Golden Lotus Palace.

I did not ask them to sing, but sat them down to dinner with me. I dismissed the palace maids and told them to wait outside, because I wanted to discuss tomorrow's escape plan with Yueze. Yueze's plan was that when Yan Hua led the imperial concubines and the officials of the imperial harem to pay their respects tomorrow night, Bai Lin would come to meet me, and Yueze would bring me out of the palace.

I listened to their plan and felt a little worried. "Since the imperial palace of the Cang Wu Empire is under heavy guard, how can I get out of here? "The two of you are people of the palace, so you can accept my orders to leave, but I am still a person of the palace …"

Yue Ze said: "We have our ways when the time comes."

He and Bai Lin were both very secretive, and they didn't tell me the exact plan, which puzzled me. Just as he was about to inquire further, a voice suddenly came from outside the door. "The emperor has arrived …"

I was shocked, Yan Hua is here!

According to the rules of the palace, he shouldn't have come to the Golden Lotus Palace today. I was shocked and immediately told Yue Ze and Bai Lin to retreat, because Yue Ze and Yan Hua knew each other. Although Yue Ze had changed his appearance, Yan Hua's eyes were so sharp that I was afraid that he would recognize Yue Ze.

As soon as the two of them left, Yan Hua entered the room. I quickly sat at the table, pretending to eat. When Yan Hua saw that I was eating the roasted chicken with relish, he was stunned for a moment. Then, a wry smile appeared in his eyes.

"It seems that you're in quite a good mood. I was overthinking it." "No," he said.

I was a little taken aback... Worry? What was Yan Hua worrying about?

I asked him, "What's wrong? Why should the emperor worry?"

Yan Hua said lightly, "I thought that because you were unwilling to marry me, it would be because of this hunger strike."

I was amazed. A hunger strike? What a joke! Yan Hua really doesn't understand me!

When I invited him to join me, he did not refuse, but sat down at the table.

Yan Hua laughed and said, "You actually ate two roasted chicken, your appetite seems to be really good!"

I scratched my hair in embarrassment. Actually, there were three people eating, so they ate two. However, I didn't dare to say anything at this point. All I could do was play dumb.

Yan Hua raised his chopsticks and said, "Let's eat together!"

I quickly picked up the bowl. After some thought, he felt that this wasn't appropriate. As Yan Hua's fiancee, she should at least be a little more polite to him, right? Therefore, I hurriedly lifted up my wine jug to pour him a cup of wine. But at this moment, I discovered that the wine in the jug was gone, probably because I drank it all while eating with Yueze.

I was about to call the maid in to serve the wine when Bai Lin came in from the door. She had her head down and was carrying a jug of wine in her hands, as if she were going to serve me. I was amazed, for she had put on a new dress for a lady, and her hair had changed, and she looked like a lady in a palace. "When did she put on her disguise?

I didn't say anything. Bai Lin moved to Yan Hua's side with small, respectful steps to help him pour the wine. Then she took the empty wine pot from me, gave me a look, and silently retreated. I don't know what Bai Lin means, but she's probably trying to cover it up for me, right?

I hastily raised my cup and signaled to Yan Hua, "Your majesty, let me toast you."

Yan Hua looked at me with a smile. "Why should you respect me?"

I said, "Thank you for taking care of me these past few days. We won't be able to meet tomorrow, so this means … The last bar before our wedding. "

Actually, I'll be running away with Yueze tomorrow. Thinking about the days I've spent together with Yan Hua, I still felt a little regretful in my heart. Most of all, I feel guilty towards him. Because he saved my life, but I am unable to repay him. Furthermore, I had to collude with his enemies to escape. In the end, I still owe him more.

Yanhua looked at me thoughtfully, a trace of melancholy in her purple eyes. Finally, he raised his glass slowly, gestured to me, and drained it in one gulp.

Then he said to me, "Lian'er, tomorrow is the Winter Solstice. There will be large scale sacrifices and banquets in the palace, but unfortunately, you won't be able to attend. But it doesn't matter. After the Queen's wedding, you can follow me in and out as the Empress. You won't be so restrained anymore. "

He seemed to be trying to comfort me, and the guilt in my heart only increased. I called for Bai Lin to go forward and pour more wine for him. I gave him the food myself, but he didn't seem to have been treated like this before, and his mood gradually became cheerful. The atmosphere at the table became harmonious, and this was the happiest meal I had had with him.

After dinner, the court lady planned to come and help me try on the other wedding gown, the one that the empress and the emperor used to pay homage to their ancestors after the wedding ceremony. There were nine sets of ceremonial clothes, mostly black, with dark red patterns. The entire set of clothes was on the top, looking very solemn and elegant.

Yan Hua did not leave immediately after finishing his meal. Instead, he sat down at the table and smiled at me. "I can't wait any longer. Can you wear it for me to see, please?"

I was worried about Yueze and Bai Lin, because their arrival was known to the rest of the palace maids. I was afraid they would slip up and drag Yueze and Bai Lin out. Thus, I have no qualms about keeping up with Yan Hua's request.

I went into the inner room and changed into my dress. I didn't have time to tie my hair, so I just let it fall back. The Nine-Layered Ceremonies were layered so tightly that I could hardly walk. Standing in front of the mirror, the dignified and elegant color, made people's temperament noble but cold. I looked at the person in the mirror and froze.

Bai Lian's appearance was very similar to the real me. Other than the different color of his hair, the rest of his appearance was basically the same. Could it be that the me of every single life is the same as my future generations?

While I was still confused, Yan Hua stood up and walked over. When I realized I had lost my composure, I quickly called for the female official to help me change my clothes. However, Yan Hua stopped them and told them to leave. He came over and put his arm around me and buried his face in my hair.

I seemed to see several gazes shooting towards me at the same time. It was burning. Yue Ze and Bai Lin, right?

Feeling extremely embarrassed, I used all my strength to push Yan Hua away. "Your majesty, I want to change my clothes …"

Yan Hua hugged me tighter. "Don't move. Lian'er, just like this, just stay here. "

He pulled me so hard that I lost my balance and fell into his arms, his arm around me, his other hand in my hair, gently stroking me. The long black robes spread out, covering almost half the room. I wanted to struggle, but Yan Hua whispered in my ear, "Lian'er, don't move. Let me give you a hug. Just for a moment. "

There was a tinge of tiredness in his voice, which startled me a little.
