Kite falling into red dust

"What's wrong with you, you are so arrogant?" Nangong Chen asked innocently, leaning on the railing of the corridor.Nangong Jin stared at him coldly, and said: "Don't pretend to be with me, we grew up together, I can tell what's going on in your head just by looking at it! Tell me honestly, what the hell are you thinking?" ?”

He smiled lightly and said: "I don't want to be your soldier for the rest of my life. My father made it clear that he won't help me. Of course I have to work hard on my own." Nangong Jin smiled coldly, "I want to hear it, you What is the so-called effort?"

"If you want to succeed in the officialdom, talent and ability are of course important, and it is also essential to take a shortcut with the resources you have." He fiddled with his long hair on the sideburns, and said leisurely, "Didn't Yun'er say , Do I look a bit like that boy? This is a god-given opportunity, and I can't let it go to waste."

In the secluded arbor forest, the grave was made of stones. There was not a single weed or fallen leaf around it, and it was obviously just cleaned.On the marble tombstone, the words "Luo Hongyuan's Tomb" written in cinnabar are still bright red and dazzling.A hand with well-defined bones gently caressed the name, as if caressing a lover's face, with tenderness and attachment.

A deep voice sounded: "Your Majesty, it's time to go back." Murong Mingyu sighed softly, stood up, looked at the tombstone for the last time with eyes full of reluctance, then turned around, took Mo Yuan with him and left .

Due to Luo Hongyuan's special status, there was no way to bury him publicly.But Murong Mingyu couldn't bear to throw him in the mass grave just like other unclaimed corpses, so he was secretly buried in the forest behind the palace along with Luo Jianqing's corpse .In this way, I can still come to see him from time to time.

It was already noon when I returned to the palace, Murong Mingyu simply washed up, and the servant reported: "The Queen sent someone to invite Your Majesty to have lunch at the Qiluan Hall."

"Tell the queen, I will go later." Since he and the queen confessed who the person he couldn't let go of was three years ago, the relationship between him and her has made great progress.Now they are like friends, but also like relatives.But it's not like a couple.

After burying Luo Hongyuan's body, for a year, he was depressed all day long, couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, and didn't care about dealing with political affairs.At that time, the queen often came to talk with him and tried her best to amuse him.Later, he gradually came out of his grief and tried to get along with her like a husband and wife.However, after several efforts, he gave up.

He can respect her like a friend, and he can like her like a brother, but he just can't fall in love with her, not even the slightest feeling of being moved.But he clearly remembered that they had a night together, and he did have feelings for her at that time - the physical reaction also showed this.However, after that, he could no longer feel that way about her.

It was as if he only loved her for one night.

When she came to Qiluan Hall, the queen had already prepared a table of meals.Murong Mingyu only ate a little for breakfast, and now facing the table full of delicious dishes, his stomach immediately growled.

The queen put a bowl of soup in front of Murong Mingyu, and said: "Your Majesty, drink more of this ginseng soup. The concubine specially ordered the imperial dining room to make it. The weather has been suddenly cold and hot recently, and it is easy to catch wind and cold. Drink this to replenish your vitality. "

"The queen has a heart." Murong Mingyu smiled at her, took a sip from the soup bowl, and put it down. "Your Majesty's eye circles are a bit dark, did you not sleep until late at night after writing the memorials last night?" Shangguan Xuerui asked with concern. "Oh, yes, I went to bed late last night."

Shangguan Xuerui showed a worried look on her face, "This is not good. Although Your Majesty is young and strong now, if you don't take care of your health earlier, when you get older, illnesses will come to you one by one."

"The queen is right," Murong Mingyu nodded and said, "I will definitely pay attention to it in the future. The queen has also lost some weight recently, so I need to eat more." As he spoke, he picked up some food and put it in her bowl. "Thank you, Your Majesty." She smiled generously and thanked her.

When the meal was almost over, Shangguan Xuerui suddenly put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said: "By the way, Your Majesty, the Empress Mother has ordered my concubines to help arrange the selection of concubines. If your Majesty has a daughter from a minister's family, please tell my concubines. The concubines are best arranged for the king first."
