Chapter 963 Reliving the Old Dream
On the other side, in the city of Beiping, the sky was covered with ice and snow.
The entire imperial city was decorated with thick fallen snow, making it exceptionally crystal clear, like a city of ice and snow.
In this city of ice and snow, a slender figure walks across the snow.
It’s Qin Ruolan.
She was originally as beautiful as a fairy, but her expression was cold, giving people the feeling that she was not easy to approach; and at this moment, she was wearing a snow-white mink fur coat, which made her skin look white as jade and her eyes as bright as lacquer. Her usually cold face showed an expression that seemed to be a smile.
Such a kind smile made her look even more stunningly beautiful.
The whole person looks like a fairy made of ice and snow.
At this moment, she was walking in the snow, and she didn't seem to feel cold at all.
Because my heart is warm.
Because she was going to the imperial study to see Zhu Feng.
What happened in the past few days was like a dream to her. Ever since that incident, the relationship between Zhu Feng and her became cold and distant. Although the two of them had a son together, they were like strangers when they met.
Especially when Zhu Feng was facing her, he didn't even want to look at her.
She knew he hated her.
But, it is also because of the love we once had.
How much he loved me at first, how much he hated me after he found out he was deceived.
Qin Ruolan herself did regret it, but at that time she had no choice for the sake of her family and her father's hard work.
In fact, Zhu Feng is not the only one who suffers. He has also been struggling in regret and pain over the years.
The two people have been strangers for so many years, and now they finally have this opportunity. Zhu Feng forgets everything in the past and accepts himself again.
Maybe this is the chance God has given me and him to start over again.
Thinking of this, a long smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
But just as she was walking forward with a smile, a familiar figure blocked her way.
It’s Xu Miaoyin.
Ever since that day when Zhu Feng brought her from the cold palace, Xu Miaoyin's attitude has become very subtle.
It's not quite hostile.
But as a woman's intuition, Qin Ruolan knew very well that Xu Miaoyin did not want her to stay with Zhu Feng.
Of course, she understood why.
Xu Miaoyin is infertile and has no children. However, her own child, Zhu Chengxuan, has been raised by her side until now. She has regarded Chengxuan as her own legitimate son.
Now that she has regained Zhu Feng's favor, she is also worried that he will snatch Cheng Xuan away from her.
Qin Ruolan took a deep breath, walked forward slowly, and bowed: "Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen."
Xu Miaoyin looked at her calmly, but her eyes were very serious.
He said in a deep voice: "I heard that the emperor wants to confer a title on you."
Qin Ruolan said: "In reply to the Queen, the Emperor does not want to confer a title on me, but to restore me to my position."
“…”
"When the emperor's edict comes down, I will be Concubine Ning again."
"Then I should congratulate you."
"I hope Her Majesty the Queen will give me more guidance in the future."
After saying this, she bowed again and was about to walk past Xu Miaoyin. But Xu Miaoyin said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished what I want to say yet."
"So the Empress wants to see me for something," Qin Ruolan said calmly, "I just want to go to the Imperial Study earlier. After all, the Emperor has summoned me, so I dare not delay."
“…”
Xu Miaoyin's breath became heavier again.
Of course, she also knew that Zhu Feng had been very close to Qin Ruolan these days. Although it wasn't to the point of exclusive favor, it was almost there.
But his situation is different from before, when he seemed to be controlled by something and doted on Feng Shu. It can be seen that he is very sober, except that he has forgotten many things in the past, and - the "Imperial Concubine" cannot be mentioned in front of him.
However, his current situation is special. In addition to remembering everyone around him, he also needs to slowly familiarize himself with the government affairs.
However, with Qin Ruolan around, they were always unable to intervene.
Xu Miaoyin said, "The emperor summoned you, so of course you should go, but you should also know that the court is in a precarious situation right now. After the emperor's experience, his energy should be used more on familiarizing himself with and handling state affairs, rather than—"
As she spoke, Xu Miaoyin gave her a stern look.
Qin Ruolan was silent for a moment.
There seemed to be a flicker of conflict in her eyes, but after a moment, a faint smile appeared on her face. She said, "The matters that the Empress mentioned will naturally be handled by the ministers in the court. I am just a convicted woman who has just been released from the cold palace. I haven't officially been reinstated yet."
“…”
"All I can do is stay by His Majesty's side and help him solve his problems."
“…”
"That's all."
"Sharing worries and resolving difficulties depends on how you do it!"
Xu Miaoyin said, "Back then, the Imperial Concubine shared the Emperor's worries and solved his problems. She never pulled him away from government affairs and brought him to her side. Instead, she helped him sort out his thoughts. She would only accompany him after he had finished handling state affairs."
“……!”
When the "former imperial concubine" was mentioned, Qin Ruolan's face looked as if it had been whipped.
Her face darkened, and she forced a smile, "Your Majesty... lately, it seems that the word 'Noble Consort' is no longer acceptable in the palace."
“…”
"I know what I should do."
“…”
"I won't imitate others, and I don't want to be anyone's substitute!"
After saying that, she bowed to Xu Miaoyin again, and then ignored her obstruction and walked straight to the imperial study.
Xu Miaoyin stood there, looking at her back, her expression becoming more serious.
Qin Ruolan, who was walking straight forward, was not in a relaxed mood either.
Sinanyan...
Sinanyan...
These days, although because of Zhu Feng's special situation, the imperial concubine was like a taboo and no one in the harem was allowed to mention her, but she always seemed to be able to see her and hear her.
Anyone who looked at her seemed to be comparing her with the imperial concubine.
But what can I do to compete with her?
She gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, "It's been more than ten years. For more than ten years, the emperor and I have been strangers. Finally, he is willing to favor me again and come back to my side..."
“…”
"I just need some time, is that not okay?"
Just as she was thinking about it, she looked up and found that she had already walked to the imperial study.
Yes, she just needs this period of time.
She didn't want to become a seductive concubine to seduce the monarch, nor did she want Zhu Feng to be addicted to her beauty.
She just wanted to relive the old days.
She had been waiting for so many years, and finally this day had come.
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, raised her hand and pushed open the door of the imperial study.
