Chapter 321 Madam
The Lantern Festival is here in a flash.
Early in the morning, Liu Yuetang quietly sent the clothes, shoes and hats that she had spent many days embroidering to the Weiyang Palace.
Those clothes are enough to wear until the age of three.
She had discussed with the Queen that when Yue'er grew up and was about three years old, Xiao Heng would probably have let it go. Then she would ask her uncle to come and discuss with Xiao Heng about taking her to Lanyue Kingdom.
Even if I can only live here for a few months a year, that would be fine.
The Queen also promised Liu Yuetang that she would paint a portrait of Yue'er every year and send it to Lanyue.
He would also tell Yue'er that Liu Yuetang was her biological mother.
When the sun sets, golden light spreads over the palace walls, and the clouds are dyed with layers of color.
Liu Yuetang was standing at the gate of Changle Palace in an apricot-colored dress. The wind blew up her wide sleeves, and as her clothes fluttered, it looked like she was covered with broken gold.
She looked at the familiar bright yellow figure approaching at the end of the palace road, and her eyes gradually became soft.
When Xiao Heng approached, he extended his hand to Liu Yuetang: "Come, get in the sedan chair."
He was dressed in a blue-white robe, which looked exceptionally plain and elegant in the sunlight. The cloud patterns embroidered on the fabric seemed to be gilded by the setting sun, making him look as smooth as jade, without a trace of the majesty and coldness of an emperor.
Liu Yuetang gently placed her hand in his palm, and with his help, she slowly stepped onto the sedan chair.
The curtain of the sedan chair was gently lowered by the palace servants, blocking out the light and shadow from the outside world. Only the palms of the two people touching each other remained, still carrying the warmth of the setting sun.
"I remember that four years ago tonight, you were also standing in the Purple Palace waiting for me in apricot-colored clothes."
Liu Yuetang smiled and looked at Xiao Heng: "The emperor also said that you were very fierce at that time."
"So, was Miaomiao's fear at that time just pretending, or was she really afraid of me?"
"Of course I'm afraid too." Liu Yuetang said without hesitation.
"You are deceiving the emperor! Even if you give me ten times the courage, I will still be afraid."
Her eyes moved and her tone was a little timid.
Xiao Heng retracted his arms, holding her tighter in his embrace, his eyebrows slightly raised, "Now you admit that you deceived the king?"
"Do you still remember how you acted so convincingly in front of me four years ago? You almost fooled me too."
Recalling everything that happened when they first met, Liu Yuetang burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Heng asked.
Liu Yuetang pursed her lips and said, "When I think of the past, I feel extremely ashamed. I thought my acting was very good and I won your favor and pity, but I never thought that the emperor knew that I was pretending."
"I didn't know it at first, but later I gradually understood it. But Miaomiao, do you know why I was willing to keep you and pamper you even though I became suspicious of you?"
Because of the emperor's possessiveness and the man's desire to conquer.
Liu Yuetang didn't say this out loud, but looked at Xiao Heng in confusion, "Why?"
"because……"
He stared at Liu Yuetang, his eyes filled with tenderness like lake water, about to overflow but not quite, reflecting Liu Yuetang's face.
"I am willing to join in."
Liu Yuetang was slightly stunned, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
Xiao Heng added: "Perhaps this is the mutual attraction and fate between men and women."
"Now that I think about it, I find it funny. When you left Zichen Palace, I was still thinking that the prey couldn't escape. Now it seems that the prey that can't escape is not Miaomiao, but me."
"I have been completely captured by you."
Liu Yuetang curled her lips with a smile, "So, the Emperor sent eunuchs to monitor me?"
"Are you delighted to see me being bullied? Are you hoping that I will come to you for protection?"
"Miaomiao actually knows all this?" Xiao Heng was surprised.
After saying this, he was also filled with ashamed.
He himself had never imagined that he, an emperor, would be so concerned with a woman.
And... and allowed the concubines to bully her like that.
Thinking about this, Xiao Heng hugged her tighter and said softly, "At that time, I didn't understand the relationship between men and women. I was confused... I was wrong."
He never thought that in just four years, he would fall irresistibly in love with her.
If he had known this earlier, he would not have done so many things to hurt her and make her suffer.
Liu Yuetang gently leaned her head on his shoulder, "Okay... the past is in the past, the important things will come later."
"Yes!" Xiao Heng held her hand tightly.
"What matters is that you and I will be together year after year."
Liu Yuetang's eyes darkened.
Xiao Heng, I am with you year after year, but the person who stays by your side is no longer me.
for a long time.
The carriage gradually drove out of the palace walls, and the lanterns along the street lit up one after another. In the warm yellow light, the shouts of hawkers and the laughter of children could be faintly heard, which was completely different from the silence in the palace.
"emperor……"
Liu Yuetang was interrupted by Xiao Heng just as she was about to speak: "After we get outside the palace, do you still need to call the emperor?"
"Madam..." Xiao Heng's hands on her waist tightened, and Liu Yuetang leaned against his chest, raising her almond-shaped eyes in astonishment.
"Husband... Madam?"
She almost thought she had misheard. Xiao Heng actually called her Madam?
Xiao Heng looked down at her, a mischievous smile in his eyes, and gently stroked her waist with his fingertips: "Why, is this address wrong?"
Liu Yuetang's eyelashes trembled, "No..."
"I just never thought that one day I would be called Madam."
After all, she is a concubine, and Madam is the title of the wife.
She had never thought of this.
"Then I never thought that one day I would be called my husband."
He leaned close to Liu Yuetang, his warm breath brushing across her forehead, "Miaomiao, it's been a long time since I heard you call me husband."
Liu Yuetang looked into his affectionate eyes, stunned for a moment, and called out tenderly: "Husband~"
The two looked at each other, and the smiles on their faces grew wider.
In the past, Liu Yuetang called him husband just because she wanted to be that special woman and be closer to Xiao Heng's heart.
It is one of the means of attacking the heart.
But now, she called him husband from the bottom of her heart.
Calling her only husband.
And... call me husband for the last time.
