Forget it, I don't want to continue living like this with him anyway. I also want to stand by his side, no matter where I go, I'll be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

It's not a selfish desire, it's just my way of liking it.

The way I like her is the way I like her. The way I like her is the way I like her. I looked up to find Xia Junchang in the crowd, but to no avail.

The members of the Lin Clan stood up and welcomed the group of distinguished people into the hall.

The marriage proceeded the same way. The bride had her hair covered by a big red veil, and was being led by the groom. Lin Luoshui, who was dressed in red, was smiling, but her smile was also indifferent.

Marry someone you don't like, not for yourself, but for you.

After he paid his respects to the heavens and earth, it was a lively feast, which was the most important part of the marriage ceremony.

I sat at a distance, looking for someone, but I still didn't see anyone.

When Rinloran came to toast me, he was standing by my side. He was already seventy to eighty percent drunk, and as he walked, he gulped down the wine in one gulp, but his hands accidentally stumbled over the chair and the cup tumbled to the ground. He actually went to pick it up, and when he squatted down, he quietly stuffed a piece of paper into my hand.

This shout didn't exactly match their hearts.

He then shouted out, "That's right, that's right." In truth, even though the imperial concubine and the imperial physician seemed to be vassals, they often wanted to pull each other closer.

He had the wine poured and drank it all in one gulp, said some polite words, and went to the next table.

I looked at it quietly. It was just three simple words. Go to the left door.

Looking around, there really was a left door. There was a tree that looked a little dim, so after I drank two cups of wine, I said that I was a little dizzy, so I asked the reason to take me for a walk. When I reached the left door, I asked the reason to find some water for me to dissolve the wine.

Standing in the darkness and looking at the brightest place, I could see that he was still the same as before, with a sense of relaxation in his body that gave him a glowing feeling, and beside him she and she, one noble and elegant, the other delicate and beautiful, turned away from me.

The trees were heavily shaded, the snow was clean, and I stood in the darkness by the left door, waiting for Rinloran.

He pretended to be drunk and held onto the tree to retch. Then he turned to the people behind him and said, "I'm fine. Wait a moment." After feigning vomiting for a while, he said in a low voice, "The Emperor will be coming today. He came to the palace to look for you."

Oh my god, he really did get away from me. I can actually see him here.

Now I can only return to the palace. If I am discovered in the palace, then what would happen? If he does not see me, I wonder if he will be very disappointed.

For some reason, she brought water over and said with concern, "Empress, drink some hydrolyzed wine first."

"The reason is that my body isn't feeling well at all. Let's go back first!"

"Alright, esteemed Empress, I'll go tell the eunuch in charge first."

After exiting the Lin Residence guarded by the imperial guards, we were about to board a horse carriage when we heard Lu Yao say, "Zhiqiu, I'll return to the palace as well. Let's go back together."

I sat in Luyao's carriage and watched as he sat there extremely uncomfortably. I was really, really, very nervous. If he did not say it himself, no one would know.

Fine, fine, fine. Yun Zhiqiu, don't you worry about him. No one will know that Xia Junchang has returned.

"It's been too cold lately. I don't want to go anywhere else in the palace, but I'm sick." Lu Yao lightly rubbed his head. "I feel dizzy after just drinking a few cups of wine."

"Do you want the palace maids to make some strong tea for you?" I sat down next to her and rubbed her head. "Don't drink if you're not feeling well."

She leaned comfortably against me, smiling softly with her eyes closed.

"Don't drink tea." She said, "It's good to be back at the palace. You're not feeling well, are you? I also feel very uncomfortable. The emperor has been drinking wine all this time, and although he's smiling, his mood is cold. "

"Hur hur." I laughed, "Don't try to be brave. Don't drink if you can't drink." Lu Yao was also from a rich family, so his family definitely wouldn't let him touch anything like wine. However, to be able to still care about the Emperor's mood and let him influence it, it was most likely a small change.

As the horse carriage neared the palace, I felt a sense of nervousness and happiness. I told Lu Yao, "You're not feeling well. Can you let me spend the night with you? I'll take good care of him."

"Of course." She laughed, "I'm just afraid that you won't be able to take care of me. I'll let the wet nurse go along with you and relieve your cravings so that you won't think too much about me every day. This child is also quite smart. He doesn't love anyone and loves to stick close to you. I've brought him for so long, but I can't coax him. "

"Of course. When he was small, he had always been at my place. I often hugged him and fed him. They always said that when they were by his child's ear, he would remember your voice."

"Is that so?" She asked softly, "You talk too much. Will the child really remember?"

"Hehe, of course, when he was still in her mother's stomach, I used to talk to Lin Shangyi a lot. The shoes he wore, and the ones I made." Thinking about it, he felt rather proud of himself.

Lu Yao curiously asked, "Is it difficult to make small shoes?"

"It won't be difficult if you want to. Hehe, I'll be leaving first. For the sake of being careful, just follow the empress and bring the little prince back to the Phoenix Palace."

"Zhiqiu, I'll get someone to send you back. Or else, you go sit over there. The emperor hasn't returned yet." Luyao stuck his head out of the carriage and called.

As I walked, I said, "It's alright. I'm familiar with the road and have palace lanterns. The imperial guards are also patrolling. If there's no problem, I'll go back and prepare some snacks for the little prince."

He turned around and ran into the forest. Oh, I want to see you so much, Xia Junchang. I don't walk the main road, I don't walk the remote road, I think I know which one you walked.

He ran through the snow, and the creaking was too loud. It would wake the quiet palace. I slowed down again and patted my chest as I headed for the harem.

It was a little far away, a little far away, and a little dark. There were very few palace lanterns hanging in the back garden. The hot breath looked white and scattered when the wind blew.

After passing the Grand Liquid Lake, passing through that short forest, they arrived at the location of the White Yulan Plane.

A hand reached out from behind the dark tree and pulled me into the darkness. My face knocks against my sturdy chest and I almost cry out. However, I caught a whiff of that faint aroma.

I know, it's him, Xia Junchang.

My heart was beating so fast that I heard him, and he must have heard me.

"Zhiqiu, I've been waiting for you for a long time." he said softly.

"I, I've left the palace. I thought I would be able to see you too." But we missed it all.

"Your hand is so cold," he said, with a pained look on his face as he held my hand.

He held my hand in both of his, then rubbed it gently, put my finger to his lips, rubbed it hard for a moment, then put my hand in his furry sheath, and then he changed it again.

His ten fingers were indescribably warm, and his heart was as soft as water.

"My hands are warm." I said softly. This voice, why does it sound so bashful.

His eyes were so bright in the dark sky that he held me tight and let me bury myself in his thick arms. "I miss you, Zhiqiu."

I also miss you. I put my arms around his waist and said, "This is really dangerous."

"I just can't stop thinking about you, Zhiqiu." He let go of me and took out something from his sleeve, hanging it around my neck. "This is the Wolf Fang, I heard that it can cure disasters, but I forgot to give it to you in a hurry when I was leaving last time. Zhiqiu, Zhiqiu, what to do, I want to give you the best thing in the world.

"Xia Junchang, when did you become so worried? Where did your calmness go?"

"Damn it, he's gone." He sighed heavily.

I smiled. "I think mine is gone too. Fine, we'll go crazy together. But first, listen to me. You have to go back to the northwest first. Wait for me."

"Yes, I'm going back to the northwest tomorrow. If I leave for too long, I might be exposed, so I want to see you tonight." "Zhiqiu, I will be waiting for you in the northwest direction in half a month's time. It doesn't matter to me whether this Third Marquis will do it or not. I want to take you and my mother and go as far away as possible. Maybe we can go to Lang Teng."

"I like the grand imperial concubine too, but I don't like stupid nuns." If he didn't lie to me, I wouldn't believe that Xia Junchang was injured in the northwest side of the country.

"Hehe, it's just the three of us without her." He said with a chuckle, "No one else, fool." With both hands holding my face, he brought my scattered hair close to his ears. He spoke in a low and mellow voice that was like osmanthus wine, "Zhiqiu, I want to kiss you."

I felt my face burn, but I didn't dare look at his eyes in the dark, so I closed my eyes and let him hold my face in his hands.

His breath had already brushed my face, warm and scratchy.

As I got closer, he quickly let go of the corner of my lips and hugged me tightly. "When we reach the northwest, you will be the only bride of my life. Yun Zhiqiu, I've discovered that you're so deep in my heart that no one can replace you."

"Enough, Jun Tang." It's enough for me to listen to this.

Without saying anything, he tightly hugged me. His heartbeat, my heartbeat, added up to a storm that filled the sky.

It wasn't too late to think about it now, and I was afraid that someone might discover me. I took a deep breath and raised my head from his embrace. "Jun Tang, you can go back now. Have a safe trip tomorrow."

"I really want to take you far away right now. Only then will I be able to relax." He whispered, "I really don't want to let go like this."

I really can't calm down anymore, but between us, someone has to calm down.

He let go of me again, "Zhiqiu, it's time for you to go back. I'm also leaving the palace for the northwest. No matter how much you think about it now, it's better to wait for you in the northwest.

I have some attachment in my heart, but also some gratification, he is always more calm than I, say can let go.

He couldn't stay long. The reason was that he would be bringing the prince over soon. Perhaps after a while, the emperor would return as well.

I turned around and walked back to the Peach Blossom. His low voice sounded again, "Zhiqiu, I'll be waiting for you in the northwest."

I smiled, looked back at him, and nodded vigorously.

He took a long detour, and I walked further and further away from him as I walked toward the Peach Blossom House.

When I got back to the door, I covered my heart with my hands. I jumped so quickly, but my heart was so sweet.

I turned on the light, only to see a cold Lu Yao sitting on a chair. I screamed out loud, almost causing me to fall to the ground from fright. I covered my heart and slapped it hard, "Lu Yao, why are you here? You really aren't making a sound."

She still had a solemn expression on her face and her brows were furrowed. That cold dignity and hatred was so unfamiliar to me that it made me a little afraid. Did she discover that Xia Junchang and I were secretly meeting in the palace?

"Haha, I was just trying to scare you, and I was scared. So what? I had someone take a shortcut and come here, so it would be boring if I wanted you to go back. I wanted you to run so fast, so I decided to scare you."

It's true, people can scare people to death.

It would be strange if a person suddenly saw someone sitting there coldly at a single light.

"Luyao." "You really scared me."

"Hehe, do you think it's ghosts?" She pounded the table with a smile that didn't have a hint of her usual ferocity.

I didn't dare say the empress was a ghost, but I was quite frightened. Xia Junchang and I only spoke for a short while before bidding our farewells, otherwise, alas, luckily, we would have been very lucky.

Seeing that she only smiled and didn't look at me, I quietly hid the wolf fang on the outside of my clothes inside my clothes. No matter what, I had to be careful.

"That's enough, don't be angry, Sister Zhiqiu. I feel bored returning to the palace, and my head hurts. I don't want to be alone in the palace, so I came to talk to you." She was a bit pitiful. "Forgive me, but don't be angry. Next time, I won't dare to scare you anymore."

"If you scare me again, I'll be scared to death." I almost wet my pants.

She nodded. "Okay, okay."

What can I say? In that instant just now, that Lu Yao was so unfamiliar and scared me. Luckily, it was all an act. After chatting for a while, his heart finally calmed down.
