past
There is still a pot of daffodils with the roots bitten off.
Gui Yao held the jumping bird in her hands, her hot palms seemed to be reminding her of something. Her always sharp eyes under her long eyelashes suddenly lost their luster. She pinched Shen Xiaoyuan's little wings and sighed.
It turned out to be the same dream I had these past few nights.
In her dream, in her small palm, there was a young couple that she had to tilt her chin up to see clearly. The fruits from Xiaohe Village hit her so hard that her tears fell like raindrops. There was sadness and comfort in Sister Li Jiao's eyes.
"Yaoyao."
The lady who was called loosened her tightly bitten lips, put the confused little green bird back on her head, held Ren Beixi's big hand, and shook her head firmly under his worried gaze.
"It's just that I'm a little overwhelmed." Gui Yao squatted in the lotus pond pavilion, casually sprinkling fish food on the back of a chair. The koi in the pond were quite plump, as if they had eaten up all the fat in the harem. She suddenly returned to the question that had been interrupted, "From the perspective of the court, who did Jiuchong get a share of the pie?"
"He is not involved in the government, otherwise the substitute would not have been able to live in the capital for so many years."
Ren Beixi was peeling an orange on the table. The little greenbird saw him, jumped over, sniffed it, and suddenly jumped away.
He said, "What I said just now was my fault, Yaoyao, I'm sorry."
Gui Yao crossed one leg on the corridor. When she turned around, the goose yellow headband on her bun fluttered in the wind. There was a hint of fatigue in her eyes. She raised her head slightly, and when she reacted, a bite of orange was handed to her lips.
The fish food was suddenly knocked into the water by the hand.
The koi in the pond tumbled to compete for the feast, splashing water from the slapping of their tails. Gui Yao blocked the water with her hands and said, "My dear, the relationship between you and me is like this small pond right now. The slightest external force will cause ripples, but in the end, everything will calm down."
Gui Yao looked into Ren Beixi's bottomless black eyes.
"That's not the case."
The man said in a deep voice.
Gui Yao just wiped off the water droplets on her skirt thoughtfully. Suddenly, her eyes were covered by a pair of sleeves, and she smelled a hint of orange fragrance.
Ren Beixi lowered his eyes and looked at her slender figure without any avoidance, and the pain in his eyes was so deep that he had never expected.
"In the past, I only wanted to guard the border for the country and the people, respect my parents and keep my family healthy and happy. Now..." Before he finished speaking, the girl in his arms turned over and pressed him against the pillar in the pavilion. Her eyes were full of him, only him.
Gui Yao didn't want to hear this, nor did she want to hear his apology.
Perhaps this small pond will be stirred up again because of her continued mind-reading notebook mission and the great cause and past hidden in his heart. So what?
It wasn't this small pond that trapped her.
"Ren Beixi, listen carefully. I am not the ifs or buts behind your family and country. I am Gui Yao."
She grabbed his collar, and her frowning brows were gently touched by the man's thin lips.
Maybe they really need an opportunity to confess all this.
Ren Beixi chose the banquet that day, but Gui Yao wanted to choose a plain and windless afternoon, holding the kitten, and giving Ren Beixi a sip of tea as if telling a story, while she nibbled on a piece of candied sugar cake on the south street of Xianyu City.
"You are Guiyao, and then you are my wife."
He understands.
The fish food had been almost snatched away, and the fish that could not swim anymore had floated back to the shadow of the stone. Under the sunlight, only two small red fish that could not cause any waves were left, swimming around together, their tails lightly leaning and entwined. Finally, a bird's scream scared the fish and people.
Guiyao covered her red face.
"Please make me blind and let the bird return to its bird-like intelligence."
"Shut up your little mouth."
"Guiyao, as your best friend, I've never known what kind of person you'd fall in love with. I didn't expect it to be such a big deal right away, getting married, and even to an in-law. What a crap system... Squeak! @dhaaa%啾啊——##aaashenemgui!!!!!! Squeak!!! **啾啾!"
Guiyao scratched her head.
System what you did.
"You really think cats have no temper. Slandering Ren Beixi is fine, but you're also trying to break up my relationship? Leave her alone for a while."
The way to quiet a bird is to make it impossible for people to understand the bird’s inner voice.
Very skilled.
Gui Yao explained to Ren Beixi earnestly, "Due to some special reasons, I can't hear her voice now. Let's go find Shuixian."
When passing the Imperial Garden again, Gui Yao always felt that the man leading the way in front of her was not in good shape.
She hesitated for a moment before poking the muscles in his arm.
Ren Beixi seemed a little confused.
Gui Yao tilted her head: "Can't you find the way?"
"No." Ren Beixi frowned slightly, causing Gui Yao to blink curiously and walk in step with him. His voice was a little hoarse, "Could it be that... Yaoyao can't read minds because of kissing me?"
Gui Yao: "...Where does this view come from?"
The man's expression was quite solemn, so Gui Yao first guessed that perhaps the stories in this fictional place were also quite novel, and Ren's elder brother loved reading when he was young, so the young General Ren was so inspired that his imagination was greatly opened.
Ren Beixi said nothing, but just pinched Guiyao's neck with his big hand, and his eyes met hers, his breath as hot as boiling bubbles.
Somehow.
Gui Yao rubbed his palm away, her long eyelashes trembling, and when she raised her eyes again, she noticed that the pain in the man's eyes was much greater than any other affection.
She suddenly remembered that he had asked a question last night.
"Are you tired?"
There is always a strange noise in my ears, the source of which I cannot tell. Because I keep listening to the voices of others, I sometimes forget what I am thinking.
Aren’t you tired of hearing this sound day after day, which can’t be calmed down even for a second before falling asleep?
If only a kiss could stop it all.
That’s great.
The young couple kissed again anyway.
The system seemed to be thinking about something.
Shen Yuan, the dumb little bird, was completely released!
The little bluebird flew forward angrily, but accidentally scared a pigeon, disrupting its flying rhythm. Its wings stiffened and it fell straight down.
Gui Yao subconsciously reached out and caught a very clean pigeon.
Ren Beixi lowered his eyes.
He untied the small strip tied around the pigeon's feet with one hand.
"The pigeons of Wuhua City."
"Fly into the palace."
Gui Yao was slightly startled and held the pigeon tightly. She could actually see a hint of guilt on the face of this exceptionally clean pigeon.
Shen Xiaoyuan flapped his wings and returned to Guiyao's head. Looking at their thoughtful expressions, he raised his head proudly, wondering if he had found the clue about the daffodils!
Gui Yao handed the pigeon to Ren Beixi, and at the same time she saw clearly the words written on the note.
"The monster appears."
Straightforward and incoherent.
It also increases the progress of the main quest to 20%.
But it's not hard to see where this pigeon started.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Is there really someone plotting a rebellion behind the scenes? But now the only way for the An Dynasty to rebel is to collude with the Ren family army, but Ren Beixi has already cut off this path with his execution.
"It's so strange. This pigeon has no idea where to go. It just follows orders and flies around the palace." Gui Yao said helplessly.
She handed the pigeon to Ren Beixi.
"Let's go to the Pepper Room for dinner. A few days ago, I told the Queen some recipes for medicinal food. It's been a while since I had a good meal."
The man knocked the pigeon unconscious and his expression remained calm.
Monster...
Gui Yao noticed Ren Beixi's gaze looking into the distance and pulled his wrist.
"Let's go find that last pot of daffodils first. My husband just said he wanted to take me to Chongzheng Hall to see it. It was my fault that day. I didn't know Your Majesty was an old friend. Now I miss Li Cong a little."
She curled her eyes and led Ren Beixi back in the original direction.
The man passed by and handed the pigeon to Xiao Hui who was waiting in the distance, then shook Gui Yao's hand and walked towards the center of the palace.
Guiyao was quite quiet along the way.
Ren Beixi asked her, "Will Yaoyao be afraid of Jiuchong?"
The young lady in question looked up in confusion and said with a smile, "Perhaps when I knew him, he was just a young man who missed his best friend, so naturally I wasn't afraid of him, nor was I intimidated by him."
"Yes, when the late emperor first saw Jiuchong, he was just a bell-ringing boy."
Guiyao said seriously.
Perhaps because we were about to cross this long road, the sunlight above our heads was setting in the west and was blocked by the high wall.
She seemed to have caught a ray of light close to the scorching sun, and she clung to Ren Beixi's olive branch and continued to sort out the whole question.
"But when Jiuchong was not killed later, that's when the late emperor began to fear him."
"The man I could have easily killed with a sword, still looks like he hasn't aged in thirty or forty years. If such a person were to seize his throne, his descendants would be powerless to resist."
Ren Beixi's silent eyes were dark.
Perhaps because of the good fortune of the founding emperor marrying only one wife, the people of the An Dynasty themselves were not happy with the large harem of the previous emperor.
When the late emperor was young, he and his cousin were childhood sweethearts and were a perfect match. However, before he came of age, he bid farewell to his relatives in the south of the Yangtze River and followed his father to war. He overthrew the tyranny of the previous dynasty and established the An Dynasty. He was then made crown prince overnight.
But he had to marry the only daughter of the general who saved his father's life.
After ascending the throne, perhaps he initially just wanted his young love, cousin Gao, to enter the palace. Later, he also asked the generals who were willing to let their daughters become concubines to send their daughters. Later, it had to evolve into the queen arranging three selections to protect the peace of the harem.
My cousin also regretted it.
If she had not entered the palace, Gao Zhi might have always favored the queen alone.
At that time, she had just arrived in the capital and heard that the queen was pregnant with a baby boy. The whole court was celebrating, but she could only enter the palace through the side door. When she saw her cousin, she realized that he seemed to be no longer the boy from many years ago.
I shouldn't have gotten pregnant with a prince before the Empress. I'll go stay in the temple for a while and recite Buddhist scriptures and pray for the Emperor and Empress every day.
All the sufferings are just because Your Majesty loves many people but not the Queen. His Majesty loves many people but loves her cousin Gao the most.
My cousin doesn’t know.
Shun'er, when you see this letter from your mother, she should have passed away.
During the more than six years in the temple, my mother figured out many things, but when she became pregnant with you, she still wanted to give birth to you at all costs.
sorry.
I should have let Shun'er be born in Gao Mansion in Jiangnan.
But the high walls of the harem blocked the only way out, and after the temple was destroyed, my mother could never go out again.
Shun'er, you must remember your mother.
The Queen is a very kind person and has helped me a lot over the years. If you are left alone in the future, you can go and find her to be your mother.
The emperor is ruthless.
