Chapter 137 He Yunzheng
Looking at Liu Yuetang's sad and desolate back, Concubine Zhao couldn't help but feel a sense of pleasure in her heart.
How glorious it was when she was in favor.
The favor almost surpassed her own at one point, and she even became so proud of herself that she showed off the favor in front of her.
But no flower stays in bloom forever, and she gradually withered.
But soon, Concubine Zhao felt sad again.
Grace is like floating clouds, it disappears at any time.
Today, Concubine Xi has fallen out of favor, and perhaps one day it will be my turn to follow in her footsteps.
She stared at Xiao Heng in a daze. Perhaps Xiao Heng also felt the burning gaze, and turned to look at Concubine Zhao with a smile.
When she saw his innocent smile, the gloom in Concubine Zhao's heart immediately dissipated a little.
She and the emperor have shared hardships and are childhood sweethearts.
Even if the emperor favors Concubine Xi and Concubine Yan, her position cannot be replaced by them.
She shouldn't be so worried about gains and losses.
The emperor favored Concubine Xi because she was somewhat similar to himself, so it is normal for her to have fallen out of favor now.
But the other concubines did not dare to think so. The emperor doted on Concubine Yan so much. If she gave birth to a prince, the entire harem would probably be in her pocket.
On the other side, Liu Yuetang was hit by a gust of cold wind as soon as she stepped out of Chunxi Palace.
The sky had become dark at some point, and the clouds were so low that they seemed to swallow up all the light.
Things are going to change! Liu Yuetang thought to herself.
The shawl that was originally dragging quietly on the ground was blown gently by the wind. Liu Yuetang quickly raised her hand to gather her sleeves, and happened to see He Yunzheng standing beside her, staring at the front with red eyes, as if he had lost his soul.
Liu Yuetang followed his gaze and saw Princess Duanrou and her husband in the corridor.
The prince consort was tying the cloak for the princess, and then wrapped her tightly.
It was a perfectly normal action, but their eyes were full of love. They looked at each other deeply. I don't know what the prince consort said, but the princess shyly stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek.
He Yunzheng clenched the knife in his hand tightly, and only came to his senses when the two people in his pupils gradually disappeared.
Only then did he realize that two people had suddenly appeared beside him. After seeing that it was Liu Yuetang, he quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Concubine Xi."
Liu Yuetang smiled faintly: "I didn't expect that Guard He, who has always been aloof from women, is actually a pure-hearted person."
Everyone in the palace said that Guard He was handsome and was the most outstanding person in the palace except Xiao Heng.
However, he is not interested in women and is cold and indifferent to any woman.
Today, Liu Yuetang finally understood that it was not that he was not interested in women, but that he had someone in his heart.
And this person is the most noble princess of the dynasty.
Guard He's eyelids twitched, and he knew that his frustrated scene just now must have been seen by Concubine Xi.
The women in the palace have sharp eyes, so how could they hide the truth from the master in front of them?
However, he didn't want to involve others in his own affairs, let alone implicate anyone.
He Yunzheng said in a low voice: "It's just my wishful thinking."
"I hope you won't tell anyone else about this."
Liu Yuetang raised her eyebrows slightly: "Are you afraid that the princess will know?"
He Yunzheng was silent for a moment, a heavy and sad arc appeared on the corner of his mouth: "She is very happy, why should I bother her?"
Liu Yuetang was slightly stunned.
Is there such a infatuated man in the world?
Is this the reason why the famous guard He is still unmarried at the age of 27?
Liu Yuetang smiled faintly, "Guard He, don't worry, I know nothing about what happened today."
He Yunzheng's brows relaxed, and his anxious heart was slightly relieved: "Thank you, Master Xi."
"Guard He, you're welcome. I haven't thanked you for rescuing me last time."
Last time, Liu Yuetang asked Liu Zheng to keep He Yunzheng near the water pavilion to ensure that she would be safe when the mad dog came out.
He Yunzheng just happened to pierce the mad dog with a sword. Although she still had a trick up her sleeve, it could be considered as a favor of saving him.
He Yunzheng quickly said, "My lord, you are too polite. That is my humble duty."
Liu Yuetang smiled and nodded at him, then took Wanqiu's hand and was about to leave. Just as she was about to leave, she stopped and looked at He Yunzheng and said, "I have a message for Guard He."
"Meeting is already a blessing, why should we spend the rest of our lives in longing?"
He Yunzheng was stunned, thinking silently in his heart: Meeting you is a good omen, why should we spend the rest of our lives missing you?
Yes, meeting each other is the most beautiful fate.
However, he disagreed with the latter sentence.
He is not afraid of the pain of missing someone, nor is he afraid of being alone when he is old and gray.
As long as she is well, missing her is not a hardship.
He Yunzheng forced a smile and looked up at Liu Yuetang: "Isn't Concubine Xi the same as this humble minister?"
He glanced at the inner hall casually.
In his opinion, Concubine Xi was one of the few infatuated concubines.
He had seen Concubine Xi's sad expression more than once after being rejected by the emperor.
People always sound very reasonable when advising others, but are a mess in their own world.
The faint smile on Liu Yuetang's lips froze slightly, and then she curled her lips awkwardly, holding Liu Zheng's hand and leaving Chunxi Palace.
After walking away, Liu Zheng glanced at He Yunzheng behind her and whispered, "It's strange to say, Guard He has been the emperor's study companion since he was young, often entering the palace, and must be very familiar with Princess Duanrou. Why didn't he fight for himself?"
Liu Zheng was very confused. It would be fine if Guard He came from a humble family.
But Guard He's father is a marquis of the current dynasty, and the He family has been officials for generations, so their family background is not bad.
At least, his family background is better than that of the prince consort.
Liu Yuetang raised her hand to smooth the windblown hair from her temples: "Life is full of regrets, and it's difficult to have everything. What is meant to come will come, and what is meant to go will go. I always believe in the word fate."
Liu Zheng nodded: "My young master, why did you say so much to Guard He?"
Liu Yuetang lowered her eyes and smiled faintly: "Liu Zheng, in this palace, you would rather offend the concubines than offend the people in front of the emperor."
The reason why she said so much to Guard He was to pave the way for her future.
Guard He entered the palace when he was young and grew up with Xiao Heng. If he were in danger in the future, his words would be crucial.
On the other side, Concubine Yu suffered from a headache and felt unwell after returning to Yihe Palace.
She hadn't had a headache for a long time, and recently a series of upsetting things had made her feel upset.
"Go and invite the emperor from Mingsexuan." Concubine Yu stroked her forehead, feeling very uncomfortable.
But Ruolan stood there hesitating.
Yu Fei was immediately furious: "Why don't you go quickly? What are you standing here for?"
Ruolan trembled with fear and whispered, "Your Majesty, I just heard that the Emperor is not in Meipin's palace, but in..."
As she spoke, she looked up timidly at Concubine Yu.
Yu Fei frowned tightly. Even though she guessed who that person was, she still asked, "Where is he?"
Ruolan said slowly, "Jinyuan Palace."
