The Legend of Nanshan Jun

On New Year's Eve, there are lights and festoons everywhere in the palace, and all kinds of fireworks are set off in the palace where conditions permit, and the sky is very beautiful for a while.

While the whole world was celebrating, the Nanshan Pavilion in the distance was ablaze. The fire was fierce and thick smoke billowed, and it didn't take long for it to spread to the nearby buildings.

"The water is gone... the water is gone... come quickly!"

The emperor, who was listening to the opera in the Qinxi Pavilion, was furious and ordered people to put out the fire quickly, so that the people in the pavilion must be rescued safely.

Immediately, the palace was in a hurry, and the sound of shouting and running could be heard endlessly.

Even disregarding the objections of the concubines, the emperor broke into the Nanshan Pavilion.

"Wake me up."

It seemed like someone was slapping me in the face.

"Ahem..." I coughed a few times, took a vigorous breath of fresh air, and finally my eyes gradually focused.

"Your majesty, you are here." I opened my eyes and saw his anxious expression, and I couldn't help laughing.

"You're about to lose your life, and you can still laugh." He looked at me helplessly.

"If you lose it, you lose it. Anyway, the emperor doesn't want to see me." I curled my lips indifferently.

He looked at me deeply, did not speak, but sighed rarely.

I looked back into his eyes, deep as a vortex, as if he was going to swallow me up, my heart was beating violently, and my body began to feel hot, as if the fire hadn't been extinguished, but it was getting hotter and hotter.

Not daring to look into his eyes, I turned my head and stared at the wall in a daze.

But Li Zhenrui refused to let go of my evasion, and turned my face away again, "Why don't you dare to look at me, afraid that I will eat you?"

"Don't worry, I really can't swallow your current appearance." With a joking tone, I blushed in embarrassment. Seeing myself in the mirror was covered with dirt, and my clothes were burnt. It cannot be called beautiful.

I became furious, covered my face with a silk handkerchief, and pushed him, "Go away, don't come to see me if you think I'm ugly."

"Then I'm really leaving?" He teased.

"You go, you go." I faced the inner wall with chest tightness.

After waiting for a while, I heard footsteps fading away, and when I turned my head, the person was no longer there.

Loss spread in my heart, he seemed to be a person I couldn't grasp, and he really left when he said he would leave.

But soon I was surprised by my childish acting like a baby just now, why did I miss him so much when I saw him again three months later?

Why did I learn to act like a baby to Li Zhenrui?

Am I crazy?

After he left for a long time, my mind gradually cleared up, and I called Dieyi in to ask about the situation.

"Master, we are now in Donghua Pavilion. The fire in Nanshan Pavilion was very fierce this time. One of the people underneath was burned to death, and two were seriously injured. Only the servant girl and Die Wu were slightly injured."

"Are you okay?" I asked with concern, and after seeing the small wound on her arm, I reassured, "This wound medicine was just given by the emperor, and it works very well. You and Die Wu will get better soon after using it."

"This... slaves dare not."

"Don't dare, you are mine, and I won't let anything happen to you." I looked at her seriously, this is my promise to her.

"Thank you master." Dieyi nodded gratefully, and finally stopped declining.

I glanced outside and asked softly, "Is there anything wrong with it?"

"Master, don't worry, the saltpeter and firewood slaves have been destroyed in the fire. No matter how hard people search outside, they can't find any flaws. They can only infer that the fire in the forest was caused by fireworks and then burned to Nanshan Pavilion."

"That's good." Before Yu Dieyi finished speaking, Cui Minglang hurried in, "Ling Xi, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I'm worrying you." I smiled at him.

Shu Er remembered his status at the moment, and quickly saluted him, "Mr. Donghua is a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

"Why do you and I need these vain courtesy, get up." He scolded.

"It's not surprising that there are so many people, not to mention that I didn't have a chance to congratulate you. It's really a pity."

"Seeing you safe and sound is my greatest congratulations," he laughed.

"Being Donghua Jun is the same as before, only you, Cui Minglang." I sighed.Cui Minglang's virtuous character has always been a model for all male concubines, which is beyond my reach.

"You are now a noble monarch. With your appearance, it will be a matter of time before you become.... He paused and carefully concealed his status, but his eyes kept looking at my face.

Although my face is covered with dirt at the moment, he still can see clearly.

From changing his appearance that day to breaking into the Palace of Eternal Life at night, he must know a thing or two about my situation.

Although I did not fully rely on Cui Minglang's power to get where I am today, but I must have had some help from him, and I am very grateful in my heart.

Thinking about it carefully, among so many people in the harem, only Cui Minglang has a sincere relationship with me, he doesn't care about my status, I only hope that in the future I can be with him like today.

I smiled at him and said, "I don't expect to be promoted, I just hope that the future will be safe and sound." This is what I wish in my heart.

"Based on how the emperor cares about you today, you have the greatest reliance in this harem, so you don't have to worry about it anymore." His words meant something.

I nodded but sighed a little, "But I'm still grounded by His Majesty, I'm afraid I won't see the light of day in the future."

"Didn't the emperor tell you? He has lifted your ban, and now you are free. Congratulations."

"This is indeed good news," I couldn't help but smile, "Brother Xie Minglang told me this good news."
