Bai Wutong was originally a cat demon. Her family of three was unfortunately caught by humans. To vent her anger, a concubine killed her parents, skinned them, and made them into a hand warmer.
...Chapter 124 Back
Zhang Chengyan felt the uneven surface under his fingers and felt an inexplicable heat. It was not an ugly scar but a symbol of affection. There was nothing better than this.
Jin Weige has done a lot for him, but now she keeps talking about it whenever she has nothing to do. At first, Zhang Chengyan felt guilty, but now he feels inexplicably annoyed.
Bai Wutong said nothing and never took credit for this incident. On the contrary, the fact that it was said at this moment touched him even more.
Boom boom boom——
My heart started beating even faster.
Zhang Chengyan stared at Bai Wutong's delicate little face, his shadow reflected in her almond eyes.
There is nothing else besides this.
Bai Wutong gently stroked his face, "Your Majesty, it is lonely up there, and there are always all kinds of people around you. But no matter when, no matter what happens, you only need to look back and you will see me."
…
Two hours later.
Bai Wutong walked out of the Yangxin Palace refreshed.
When Wang Decai went in, he saw that the emperor still had a smile on his face!
Zhaopin is really capable. Several concubines came this morning, but they were all driven out by the emperor.
"come over."
"The slave is here!"
Zhang Chengyan personally selected the rewards and "sent them to Zhaochun Palace."
"Your Majesty, if Concubine Zhao knew that you were so thoughtful, she would be very happy."
When he mentioned her, Zhang Chengyan raised his lips unconsciously, "Send it over quickly."
Rewards were sent into Zhaochun Palace like flowing water.
Yingchun and Chan'er looked at each other and knew that the queen would definitely be favored again.
Bai Wutong stayed in Zhaochun Palace peacefully and didn't go anywhere.
She knew that the emperor would definitely come.
Sure enough, Zhang Chengyan came in the evening, "Wutong, accompany me for dinner."
Wang Decai ordered people to serve the dishes one by one.
Bai Wutong blinked, "Your Majesty, can I ask you for a favor?"
"What's up?"
"As long as His Majesty comes here to eat, can I be a little... unruly?"
This aroused his curiosity, "Okay, let me see how you are unruly."
Bai Wutong immediately leaned over and said, "I don't want to be so far away from the emperor. When I was in the Taoist temple, what I envied most were the couples who came to burn incense together. They always sit together intimately to eat, and I want to be like them."
"good."
With Zhang Chengyan's permission, Bai Wutong became more lively than before.
She always gave people an image of gentleness and broken beauty, as if she would be scattered if the wind blew.
But now, she is sitting next to me, lively and full of life.
Zhang Chengyan felt inexplicably satisfied.
She will only truly show herself when she is by my side.
"Your Majesty, eat this."
"Your Majesty, do you know that I once secretly climbed up the tree just to eat a few fruits?"
"emperor……"
…
May.
It's hot.
The palace maids all changed into lighter clothes.
Bai Wutong's belly is a little bigger than last month. It's already seven months pregnant. She is holding a kettle and watering the flowers.
Zhang Chengyan saw it as soon as he entered the room, frowned slightly, and was about to say something to ask her to be careful next time.
Bai Wutong spoke first, "You're back, come here quickly."
“Here I come.”
Zhang Chengyan stood beside her. When he lowered his head, he could see her smooth hair and the fluffy hair in front.
At this moment, he and Bai Wutong seemed to have become an ordinary couple among the people.
The words "You're back" are what a wife says to her husband every day. They are ordinary yet warm words.
Over the past month, Zhang Chengyan came to Zhaochun Palace almost every day.
Not only for the two children, but also for myself to find peace.
He went to the Queen's palace on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, and it was gloomy and dark.
When he went to the Queen Mother, he was old just like her.
I went to see Wen Chuyun. She was still covered with a cloth and refused to see anyone. Her body was also soaked with the unpleasant smell of medicine.
Only here seems like a piece of pure land in the palace.
"Your Majesty, look at this flower. It is growing well. I water it when I have nothing to do."
"good."
Bai Wutong put down the kettle and went back to pruning the branches. She was full of energy and didn't look like a woman who was seven months pregnant at all.
He held the little hand, "Almost done, come in."
"Your Majesty, please let me stay for a while."
"No, you're still pregnant. It's time for lunch."
Entered the room.
Bai Wutong touched his hand and intertwined their fingers. She did this almost all the time. Zhang Chengyan followed her. "Your Majesty, what are we having for dinner today?"
"We have your favorite shrimp and lotus root duck."
"Really?" Bai Wutong smiled, "Your Majesty should eat more today."
Lunch is over.
Zhang Chengyan sat on the couch with his arms around Bai Wutong.
He was holding a book and reading the poems on it.
Bai Wutong was embroidering a handkerchief. When she heard a poem she liked, she would raise her little face and recite along.
I don’t know how much time passed.
Wang Decai's voice came, "Your Majesty, it's getting late."
Zhang Chengyan came back to his senses from the silence.
At this moment, he seemed to have come out of another world and felt inexplicably reluctant to leave.
"Your Majesty, please go quickly." Bai Wutong raised her eyes to look at him, "I will wait for you here and give you a surprise."
"Okay, I'm leaving then."
Zhang Chengyan stepped out of the palace with his gentle expression unchanged.
Wang Decai looked at it and had an inexplicable feeling in his heart: why did the emperor seem to be trapped?
At this moment, he looked as if he had gone back ten years.
At that time, Zhang Chengyan had the same expression when facing Jin Weige.
If you want a man to return to his youth, there is only one thing - heartbeat.
No matter how many years pass, a man will still feel the same way as a young boy.
After walking a long way, Wang Decai dared to speak and talked about business, "Your Majesty, Concubine Jin has been clamoring to see you every day, will you go?"
Zhang Chengyan paused and said, "Go ahead."
If I don't go now, according to Jin Weige's personality, who knows what he might do to me.
He added, "Don't let Zhaopin know."
Bai Wutong put down the handkerchief. She had become increasingly lazy recently and didn't want to embroider at all.
But the emperor was beside her, so she had to pretend no matter how much she didn't want to.
During this month, she tried her best to make the emperor and herself get along like an ordinary couple.
Because other concubines dare not and will not do this, she is unique, and the emperor is interested and will like her.
Chan'er handed over the warm tea, "Your Majesty, you and the Emperor have a really good relationship. I saw you outside just now, and you and the Emperor looked like a real couple!"
Bai Wutong smiled slightly, but that smile was only superficial.
A real couple?
She doesn't need it.
Besides, Bai Wutong never believed in human feelings.
Jin Weige was so favored before, but now her status has been demoted. The emperor hasn’t visited her for a month.
She and Zhang Chengyan are very close today, but their relationship is not solid. Once something happens, cracks will appear.
But now she was sure that she had pried open the door to the emperor's heart.
He likes himself.
But not love.
It's not enough.
And more.
As long as you love yourself, no matter what happens, it will not break easily.
She didn't want to be the second Jin Weige.
