Millennium drunk

Every sentence was carefully thought out, but with the tears falling, Xia Ruoqing recalled her forbearance and helplessness after entering the palace, and the daily intrigue to consolidate her position in the palace, which made it hard to sleep at night, but her heart was really sore and unbearable. Tears rolled down, and it didn't look like it was a play, but it was really pouring out a lot of pain to He Lanfu.

He Lanfu watched Xia Ruoqing cry quietly, her brows furrowed more and more, and she never said a word.

At this time, Xia Ruoqing's mind was completely filled with the past, and the fear and worry in the palace these days finally found a channel to vent, her eyes were clouded with tears and she couldn't stop crying, and she couldn't care about her original intention.After a long time, she suddenly felt her eyes darken, and a strong orchid fragrance came to her nostrils, she took a handkerchief and wiped it close to her face, and said in a cold voice, "Qingqing, you didn't cry when you were young. "

Letting the scented silk handkerchief wipe her face, Xia Ruoqing choked back, "I... I am not always a child."

"In the past, you were very naughty. Your father said that women should be dignified, virtuous, and elegant. You were unconvinced and wanted to climb a tree, but you fell from the big banyan tree in the yard and broke your arm on the spot. I was shocked at the time. You are in pain, tears are rolling in your eyes, but you don’t say anything." Cold fingers gently stroked the red and swollen eyelids caused by crying, He Lanfu’s eyes were hazy, and all the eyes were full of love. Memories of past events: "Later I asked you why you were so painful at the time and why you still resisted crying. You said that if you cried, I would definitely feel uncomfortable and blame myself for crying even harder. You don't want me to cry."

"My father's identity is very embarrassing in Nantang. Beiyan's national power is weak, and my father is a bastard who is not taken seriously. Anyone can laugh at Helan's family at will. At that time, Uncle Xia's official position was not so high, and you followed him on the street Gossip, who dares to speak ill of me, if you can win the fight, you will get angry on the spot, if you can't fight, you have to try every means to stumble and teach the other party to be ugly and take a lesson, a few times the time is so long that even I am fast Forget it, but you have been thinking about it for half a year, and finally twisted the hair of Youjia's fourth son, so that he didn't dare to go out for two full months."

"I said you hold grudges too much. You said that no one who dares to say a word about me will be let go. At that time, you were only this tall—" He Lanfu compared his legs with his hands, and said, "You are taller than me." Half a head short, with a chubby face, you want to tell me every day that no one can bully me, and you will stand up even if the sky falls."

Hearing He Lanfu's mention of the past, Xia Ruoqing's sobs gradually stopped, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing with tears when she got here: "I said at that time, if I were a boy, I would go to your house to propose marriage, and get married early. You marry into my Xia family and be my daughter-in-law."

"Yes." A smile also appeared on the corners of He Lanfu's lips: "You have a delicate appearance, but you have a boyish temper. You disdain female celebrities and secretly pester my brother to learn swordsmanship and warfare all day long. My brother has done a lot for you." Being scolded. When you were selected to enter the palace, I was still worried about what you would do in the palace with such a temperament, but I didn't expect to see you in four years, and now you still have half of the original shadow."

"I really would rather be a man." The corners of Xia Ruoqing's lips were full of bitterness: "If I were a man, I would be able to fight in the battlefield and gain fame in the military. Why should I stoop to the harem and do a small job? The country gallops for three hundred miles, dare to love and hate, Now that the world is divided into feudal and segregated regimes, the power of military officers is in hand, and His Majesty treats you well, how can you be reduced to the point where you are sitting in a city of sorrow and helplessness? Trapped in this big four-cornered world every day, all you can think about is how to fight for His Majesty's favor and consolidate your position , I often look in the mirror, and I already feel that I don’t know myself.”

A slightly cold hand brushed her beautiful long hair lightly, the hesitation in He Lanfu's eyes disappeared for a moment, replaced by incomparable determination: "Qingqing, you go - arrange for me to enter the palace."

Xia Ruoqing looked up in surprise at the indifferent words, and saw the indifferent expression on He Lanfu's face, as if what he just said was ordinary words like eating and going to bed.

"What did you say?"

"In the past, you said that you were the one to hold up the sky when it fell, but now I am taller than you. Today, I should take care of you. You have no one to take care of you in the palace, and I can't often enter the palace. Wait until I enter Empress, no matter what, there is at least one more person to discuss."

Xia Ruoqing was stunned, completely speechless for a moment.Although it was her original intention to find He Lanfu to reminisce about the past, when the two met and recalled the past, Xia Ruoqing already regretted it a little.She never expected that He Lanfu would directly request to enter the palace because of his cold and arrogant personality and because he was extremely hostile to Emperor Nanzhao as the daughter of a proton.

The achievement of the goal is close at hand, but Xia Ruoqing doesn't feel the joy that she should.

The gains and losses have been weighed countless times in the days and nights before. Whether He Lanfu's entry into the palace can save the Xia family from danger is still a matter of opinion, but if He Lanfu does not enter the palace, the Xia family will die without a life.

Xia's family and He Lanfu, she was definitely going to disappoint one side, and who the victim would be had already been decided when she sent the post to He Lanfu's family.The foreshadowing of the previous sentences and every tear at the beginning are only for one purpose.

But why, she was still hesitant, still guilty, even when she heard that He Lanfu wanted to enter the palace, the tip of her tongue instinctively wanted to say no?

"Helan... How could Uncle and Brother allow you to enter the palace..."

"Father and brother, I will handle it myself, you don't need to worry about it."

The palms holding the hem of the skirt became tighter and tighter, and finally let go after a while. Xia Ruoqing lowered her head and replied softly, "Sister Helan, are you serious?"

"What I told you, when did I miss the appointment? I'm leaving first, no matter what happens, take it easy and wait until I enter the palace."

"……it is good."

The bead curtain swayed, and the skirt disappeared beyond the threshold. Xia Ruoqing stared at the swaying colorful enamel curtain, as if she could vaguely see the tall and straight figure from her back.

The colorful enamel beads cast a hazy halo in the eyes, and gradually the beads became one piece, warming up and down the cheeks, and a drop of water rolled slowly along the cheeks.

"He Lan, I'm sorry. I can't give you what you want. What I owe you... In the next life, Xia Ruoqing will pay you back with everything she has."

Picking up the towel left by He Lanfu, Xia Ruoqing wiped away the newly formed drops of water in her eyes, calmed down her emotions, and then shouted outside: "Wan Rong."

"Your concubine." Wan Rong came in in response, bowing her head to listen to the order.

"Is sister Helan gone?"

"Let's go. I'll ask Xian'er to take Miss Helan to the gate of the palace. I must have passed Magnolia Square by now."

"Changing and dressing for me, let's go to Longevity Temple."

"Yes." Wan Rong responded but didn't move. After hesitating for a moment, he muttered: "Your concubine... are you really going? Your Majesty never liked Zhang Shushi's words. My lord is like this now. If you go, I'm afraid you will fall into the shoes of others..."

"You've said that this is the way it is now, so there's nothing to be afraid of." Xia Ruoqing's lips curled into a sneer, "Without power, power, and support, you can pick bones out of eggs, not just Xia Ruoqing." Home, even I will not end well. Since this is the case, it is better to take care of myself, take what I need, put it to death and survive, maybe I can regain the hope of a city."

"...Yes, the fragrant soup servant has just prepared it, your concubine please."

"Ah."

In the morning, the heavy rain that ran through the whole night didn't mean to stop at all. It knocked on the eaves and crackled. The dark sky was more like a heavy piece of lead pressing on people's hearts, which made people feel no joy and vitality.

Xia Ruoqing woke up early, it was raining heavily today, so she didn't need to ask Concubine Xin Gui for safety, nothing happened, so she lazily nestled in the quilt and didn't think about it.Squinting her eyes and leaning on the pillow, Xia Ruoqing's mind was full of the conversation she had with Zhang Xichun at the Longevity Nunnery yesterday.

As He Lansheng was Beiyan's hostage sent to Nantang, the Xia family was close to He Lan's family, so they knew more about Beiyan's domestic affairs than others.Beiyan believes in the Saha religion, which originated from Buddhism but is very different from Buddhism. Unlike Buddhism, which focuses on karma and karma, the Saha religion pursues eternal life and eternity. He Lanfei, the current emperor of Northern Yan, even disregarded the country's imposition of taxes, labored the people and cost money to build the royal mausoleum.

The citizens of Beiyan are divided into three classes, the lower class is the ordinary people, the middle class is the court officials, and the upper class is the Beiyan royal family and alchemists who are proficient in alchemy.

Zhang Xichun, formerly known as Aru Wenchasi, was originally a Beiyan national art master. He cast himself under the door of the third prince He Lanzhen. Later, He Lanzhen forced the palace to fail and was executed instead. a Chinese name.Relying on her original status as a master of Northern Yan, she wanted to join the Nantang Imperial Palace, but she did not expect that Emperor Nanzhao was completely different from the Northern Yan royal family.Emperor Nanzhao knew the root of Beiyan's weakness, so he hated the Saha Sect and related magic pills. Although he didn't drive people out of the palace, he didn't care about the pills offered by Zhang Xichun. The Longevity Nunnery gave Zhang Xichun the title of the nunnery master, but the Longevity Nunnery was extremely deserted, except for a cleaning boy, there was no one else.

Zhang Xichun was shut out by Emperor Nanzhao, and now at least he can not worry about food and clothing, and can live a peaceful life in peace even though he no longer has the status he once had, so he wisely kept his words and deeds low-key, He rarely interacts with other people in the palace.As time passed, the people in the palace had long forgotten the existence of this person and this place. If Xia Ruoqing hadn't accidentally learned about such a place, she would never have thought of such a person.
