Later in the evening, Mei Xichen ordered the housekeeper to prepare dinner. At this time, the two sat in the pavilion in the back garden, eating and chatting.

"Long'er, these are your favorite dishes, please eat more." Mei Xichen put a lot of vegetables into Long Jiaojiao's bowl.

"No need, I can't eat so much." Long Jiaojiao's mood still hasn't improved at this moment.

"How can you do it without eating? Aren't you the happiest thing about that old ghost?" Mei Xichen looked at her with concerned eyes.

After a while, Butler Mei ordered many more dishes to be served.

"My Lady, these are your favorite dishes in the past. Your Majesty has remembered them all. It's hard to come to the palace today. You are back at home. Don't be so restrained."

Butler Mei knew that the person sitting in front of him was Mei Xichen's concubine Shangguan Qing. However, Mei Xichen was now the emperor of Kyoto, so she changed her title and called her empress.

"Your Majesty, where will you sleep today? At the palace or back to the palace?" Butler Mei whispered in Mei Xichen's ear.

"Oh, let's just stay at the palace. We're too tired today, so we won't go back." Mei Xichen paused and said.

"Okay, then I will ask someone to clean up the other courtyard where you used to live." After saying that, Butler Mei withdrew.

"Xichen, I'm done eating." Long Jiaojiao put down her bowl and chopsticks, looked at Mei Xichen, and then lowered her head.

"Well, please accompany me for a walk in the palace for a while. I haven't been here for a long time. My life here is much better than in the palace. Do you know why, Long'er?" Mei Xichen stood up. He reached behind Long Jiaojiao, put his hands on her shoulders, and shook her gently.

"Because of me?"

"Yeah, what else could be the reason?"

At this time, Long Jiaojiao stood up, turned around and stared at Mei Xichen. Mei Xichen took his hands and smiled and said, "Let's go, walk with me."

The two strolled to the Yunxi Courtyard. At this time, there were many maids and servants cleaning the courtyard.

"Long'er, let's go to the garden over there first. Isn't there the Mingyue Pond you built there?" After saying this, Mei Xichen excitedly pulled Long Jiaojiao and ran over.

"Do you still have this large area of ​​snake fairy grass?" Long Jiaojiao asked in surprise.

"Yes, everything here has not changed. Not to mention the garden, even the bedroom has not been changed. You will know when we go in. What it was like after you left, it is still the same now."

"Really? Don't lie to me. I remember everything now?" Long Jiaojiao tilted her head and looked at Mei Xichen affectionately.

"You don't believe it? Let me tell you, I can remember how many pieces of jewelry there are in the drawer under your dressing table. They are still there intact." After saying that, Mei Xichen took Long Jiaojiao's hand and walked towards the bedroom.

As soon as they entered the door, the maid had already tidied up the room and put a brand new quilt on the bed. The furnishings in the room were indeed exactly the same as when Long Jiaojiao was there.

Long Jiaojiao stepped forward, touched her dressing table, and opened the drawer. There was quite a lot of jewelry inside. She came to the bed again, and the pillows were still the same pair with the mandarin duck pattern on them when they were married. She walked to the couch again, and the incense burner placed on the table remained unchanged.

"Long'er, what do you think this is?" Mei Xichen took out something from the cabinet next to her.

"Hand stove?" Long Jiaojiao took it over and looked at it carefully.

"Is this the one I used before?" Long Jiaojiao asked happily.

"Yes, when we were in the palace that day, I wanted to give this hand stove to you again, but I was afraid that Shu Rong would misunderstand it, so I didn't take it out. I just watched you leave me from a distance." Mei Xichen's tone was low, as if the unhappiness from not long ago had not dissipated.

"You already had a crush on me at that time?" Long Jiaojiao asked with a surprised look on her face.

"What do you mean at that time? I have always liked you, okay? It has never changed. It's just that when Qing'er appeared, I did think she was you at first."

"Something happened later. Master Muyi told me that Qing'er was created by the Sato Demon Temple to confuse us. At that time, I had no other choice, so I had to admit it."

"Originally, I thought Qing'er looked like you and knew our past, so I could live a good life. I didn't want to disturb you and Shu Rong anymore, but I still get impulsive every time I meet you again. , I still want to say a few more words to you and hug you." Mei Xichen said calmly.

"Actually, I feel it too, because every time you look at me, your eyes are so affectionate. I have carefully observed you and Qing'er, and you don't seem to be like that towards her."

"Really? This can be seen? No wonder Qing'er told me that she knows that I don't like her." Mei Xichen let out a long sigh.

"Then how did you bury Qing'er, mother and daughter?" Long Jiaojiao looked at him and asked.

"I found a Feng Shui treasure land for her mother and daughter in the back mountain, but I didn't indicate her identity, because she was not a human being in the world, and she didn't have any soul. I asked the Taoist priest, but he only erected a monument without any words. It's the best way to deal with it." Mei Xichen's eyes were a little red and her voice was hoarse.

"Maybe everything is my fault. I shouldn't have cast a spell to stun you, and I shouldn't have tricked you into signing the divorce letter. It's all my fault." Long Jiaojiao lowered her head and said in shame.

"How can I blame you? I have never blamed you. Long'er, how did Shu Rong treat you when you were in Xuanzhe?" Mei Xichen took Long Jiaojiao to the couch, sat down and poured a cup of tea. To Long Jiaojiao.

"Serong is very good to me."

"Well, I heard that he suffered a lot to save you." Mei Xichen said after thinking for a moment.

"Yes." Long Jiaojiao lowered her head and said no more.

"By the way, Long'er, do you want to live here or go to the palace?"

"Let's stay here. In the dormitory, have you forgotten that rat spirit when we went to visit the dormitory at night last time?" Long Jiaojiao couldn't help but laugh when she thought of the past.

"Oh, do you still remember that part? Do you still remember that you used the bracelet on your hand to see if the imperial concubine had become a spirit? In the end, I helped you complete it." Mei Xichen recalled that time Things are also laughable from ear to ear.

"You remember such an embarrassing thing so clearly." Long Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at Mei Xichen, then picked up the tea bowl and started drinking.

"How can I forget every little moment of being with you? I have been living by these memories for so many years. I don't know how many times I have repeated these fragments of our lives. How can I forget them?" Mei Xichen sighed. After some time, he lay on his back on the bed.

"Long'er, if you live in the palace, then I won't live in the palace. I will go to the palace to handle official business during the day, and I will come back to accompany you at night, okay?"

"Would you be too tired?" Long Jiaojiao asked with concern.

"How could it be? How could I be tired when you are with me?" Mei Xichen said with a knowing smile.
