C106

In the middle of August, it was sunny outside the window. The magpie hopped on the beam and the sky was filled with white clouds. Zhuang Li sat in the center of the Imperial Study pavilion, holding her head and looking at her opponent while lost in thought.

"In the past, when the Emperor arrived at the Imperial Study, he was always flustered and flustered. But now that he isn't here, I have nothing to do." Qing You said.

When Zhuang Li returned, she interrogated him quite a bit. Just where did she go with the emperor? What happened? and so on...

Zhuang Li cut a long story short, she only said that she was going to inspect the disaster area with the Emperor.

"What else?"

"There's more …" I also made a trip to the Immortal Crane Mountain to pay respects to some of the experts who have returned to the mountain forest. " She had wanted to talk about how her Master was able to see through one's heart, and how she could travel back and forth between the waterfalls with such a ruinous kung fu … But Qing You was no longer interested in these things. His mouth opened again, complaining about how boring it was, she turned around and went to young eunuch to play cicada.

That cicada was something the Emperor would only do when he was at the Imperial Study. Because it was too noisy, the Emperor didn't like it. Normally, no one would care about it. After all, it would be too troublesome. They would need to climb a ladder or grab a bamboo pole … But now, he was too idle … If he did not find something for himself to do, he could only sit there until it got dark as usual.

Not only Zhuang Li felt that sshe was free, even Qing You and the other young eunuch who had been serving at the Imperial Study felt that he was free all year round … Thus, when Qing You heard that they were going to fight cicadas, she jabbered on and on as she followed them.

Zhuang Li never thought that she would actually be left hanging on the spot, she could only shake her head, and prop herself up as she thought about her own matters. She had never told anyone about the relationship between her and Wang Su. For no reason, she felt that it should be kept a secret. It was as if those feelings, once spoken, would be scorched dry by the August sun and vaporized into thin air.

So she would hide them in her heart and nourish them with her warmest flesh. It was as if this was the only way for it to exist forever …

Under the scorching sun, the cool and refreshing feeling under the pavilion made her feel tired. The air was filled with a warm and harmonious smell, mixed with the smell of the plant juice being roasted by the sun. He couldn't help but feel especially comfortable, blinking his eyes and finally closing them. Finally, he fell asleep.

He felt an itch on his face. He frowned as he wiped his face with his sleeve. He still felt itchy. Finally, he opened his eyes. He saw a handsome face in front of him.

Prince Bi...

The latter was teasing her with a dogtail grass that had been folded in a flowerpot...

"Look at how lazy you are... Even though the flower pots of the Imperial Study have grown dog's tail grass, there is actually no one to take care of them … "

He proudly brandished the blade of grass he had found …

It had been a long time since the emperor came to the Imperial Study. If the emperor didn't come, then naturally the Eunuch Li wouldn't come as well. This was a chain reaction.

"Your Highness, do you think you're young?" Even though her beautiful dream was disturbed, Zhuang Li was not annoyed. After all, the people in front of him were extremely close, like siblings.

That fellow did not refute him. Instead, he said with a serious expression, "I am just a child …"

It had been over a month since they last met in the rain, but his body was completely recovered and his complexion was also very good. Perhaps it was because he had been sick for too long, but he had lost a lot of weight already. Moreover, it seemed that he had a lot on his mind.

"Is it the next emperor? How did you get here? " Zhuang Li's first reaction was to look left and right. Could it be that the Emperor's Imperial Study would finally arrive today?

Upon receiving no response, the other party smacked him on the forehead with the Sargasso grass once more.

"Right now, the only thing left in your heart is the Emperor …"

Zhuang Li burst out laughing at his teasing. Wang Bi looked at her with a sense of loneliness.

"Of course you are." After all, he was too smart. Even if she wanted to hide it, she might not be able to.

Moreover, the Prince Bi was the only one that could understand her and make her feel trust him. Although a lot of things had happened in the palace in the past and Zhuang Li had no way of knowing, she still hoped that this pair of brothers could become trusted and return to the family relationships that she had once had.

Although Zhuang Li realized that she was overthinking it after a long time …

However, Wang Bi could understand from his words that this girl had fallen in love with the Emperor, and did not feel bad about it. The last time they drank with Zhuang Li, they had already heard about the flood. He naturally had her own eyes in the palace, and when he came to the palace, she discovered that the Imperial Study was heavily guarded, preventing people from entering, and also preventing people from coming out, saying that it was under the emperor's orders. She could roughly guess that the emperor had left the palace.

To him, leaving the palace did not really matter, but then Xiao Wanzi actually said he found a few excuses to go around Imperial Study, and he actually did not see Imperial Noble Lady Ya either …

was also taken out of the palace by Wang Su?

He naturally knew that although the Emperor had once snubbed that Imperial Noble Lady Ya of his for a year, and then put her on the side of Imperial Study, doing some menial work like adding tea and adding water. He spoke coldly on the surface, but in the end, he viewed that woman as different from the others in the imperial harem.

It wasn't different, it was very different. Even the empress had never received such attention from the emperor …

After that, the matter with the Astrology Platform happened. At that time, he was the one who received the news and rushed over to save the person, but when he saved Zhuang Li, he heard that the Emperor was also rushing over … He felt that not only did he care about the Imperial Noble Lady Ya, but the Emperor also cared a lot about him. Although Imperial Noble Lady Ya was fine that time, the Emperor had ordered to dig up the astrologer as well … No matter what happened, it was difficult for the people from the other palaces to enter the Imperial Study. He couldn't help but suspect that the Emperor was really interested in the Imperial Noble Lady Ya?

He had already realized that someone was harming the Imperial Noble Lady Ya, so he turned the Imperial Study into a palace. If no one could enter from the outside, then the Imperial Noble Lady Ya inside would be safe …

He watched his younger brother grow up. Although there were many disputes and irreconcilable conflicts between brothers, in the end, he still understood his younger brother.

He wasn't very talkative, but he knew how to endure. He would treat her well without saying anything, and even if he hated her, he would still take things step by step. There would definitely be a day where he would trample over her. However, this little brother was indeed not a bad person … Many times, even though he appeared strong and cold on the outside, his heart was actually made of glass, and he was in extreme pain. Sometimes, he would be so hard that even his own body would be pierced …

Ever since she was young, she had felt heartache for him many times …

If they weren't born in the royal family, they would have become good brothers who understood each other and supported each other. It was just that the current situation had involved too many hidden secrets.

Sometimes, he even hated himself for not bringing Zhuang Li out before going to Mongolia, so he didn't want to send her back. Looking at Zhuang Li's expression, she finally understood that she had a place in the heart of this palace.

"The Emperor is still at the Heart Nurturing Palace. I came here specifically to see you, but you didn't even come to make me a pot of tea."

"Line Lines …" The Prince Bi in front of Zhuang Li, who was extremely elegant, had no choice but to go to the teahouse and bring out a lake full of jade pools. The emperor had not come for a long time, but Zhuang Li had taken care of the things in the teahouse everyday. She was afraid that one day she would turn around and find Wang Su standing behind him.

Therefore, every day, there would be warm water in the pot and tea leaves on the table … Since he was prepared, it was natural that tea would be brewed extremely quickly … When Prince Bi saw Zhuang Li bring out the tea in the blink of an eye, he knew in his heart that this fellow had been preparing to wait for the emperor to come over everyday. In the end, he was still a little jealous.

Prince Bi took a sip, his beautiful face creased once again as his mouth shrunk. With a bitter face, he said, "It doesn't taste good …"

"Is there?" Was it because he hadn't brewed tea in too long a time that something went wrong? She poured herself a glass and took a sip.

"That's right, it's a new supply of tea leaves."

"It's not as delicious as my house. Since the Emperor won't come, why don't you come to my place and have a drink? "

"Huh?"

"Alright, alright, I won't make things difficult for you anymore. I'm going back. If the emperor really comes to this Imperial Study, he's not willing to see me with you."

"Oh." Zhuang Li didn't know what to say either.

He suddenly extended both his hands to support Zhuang Li's shoulders as she stood up, wanting to leave. However, she remained standing where she was for a very long time.

"It won't be easy for you to fall in love with that person. If you ever want to leave this palace, no matter what happens or no matter where, I will bring you out without hesitation … "No matter where you wish to go …"

He thought for a moment. It seemed that what he had said was still not clear enough, not tempting enough …

Then add

"Not to the Prince Bi Palace, not even to stay in the capital. Inner Mongolia? West Cold? Big Moon? "Wherever you want to go, I will accompany you there to live …"

He tried to smile, his face more beautiful than a woman's. In the past, it used to be extremely beautiful, but now it was filled with bitterness. Zhuang Li stood up to send him off and felt that the usually extremely relaxed Prince Bi was not as relaxed as he was in the past.

"Thank you, King Bi …"

When the Prince Bi heard these words, she naturally understood why she would be willing to leave.

"I have a wide network of contacts …" That sentence seemed to be trying to find a way out for himself, but it also seemed to be mocking himself … When he found out that he liked this woman, he was also extremely happy. He always thought about how to treat her, how to accompany her, and how to coax her into his grasp … He had even risked his life from being drenched by the rain, risking being ill in bed for half a year just to see her in the lotus pond …

He wanted to tell her that he wasn't that weak and that he could protect her and give her a life of exceptional happiness …

However, before he could finish what he wanted to say, this girl already had someone else in her heart … It wasn't that he, Wang Bi, had no temper, but that person was his own brother, the one who had once been full of guilt. He silently swore that he would never fight against him …

Thus, no matter what, he had to come over and confirm it once more. Want to seize the last chance to ask this woman want to go with him?

But didn't he already know the answer in his heart?

She understood a little of what the Prince Bi had said at the end. Wang Su was the emperor, he was far above his, and Zhuang Li was not the only person he had. What he valued most in his heart was naturally the world of the Great Phoenix. Wang Su would never give her the same love as an ordinary person.

Did she foolishly think that she would one day obtain all of her happiness?

That person's love was not easy, but she was still trapped within Wang Su's smile, his every move.

When smiling, when angry, when writing, when approving the paper.

He loved every move of hers.

She didn't get everything he had, but back in the dungeon, on the roof of the Immortal Crane Mountain, perhaps earlier or earlier … She already felt the weight he held in her heart.

He had never promised or even spoken his heart out loud. Since he had served tea in the palace, he had looked at her with cold eyes, or been filled with pleasure. She saw him almost every day.

When she fell in love with him, she never thought that he was the Emperor …

It was just that after returning to the capital, he had suddenly been busy for almost half a month before coming to Imperial Study again. In the end, there was still a lot of unease that arose in his heart.

She, Zhuang Li, had never been afraid of the torment of waiting. She only suddenly remembered that if Wang Su never came back to this Imperial Study again, she would continue to love him without even making a promise to hug him for warmth. These were perhaps Wang Bi's worries …

After tossing and turning, Zhuang Li seemed to have realized that if the emperor did not come, he had nothing to do and all she did was play around with Qing You and chat with young eunuch all day long … After a long time, there would be no meaning.

She sat under the pavilion and drank from the pot of tea she had brewed for Prince Bi. When she drank the tea dregs, she spat them out to the fish in the pond. Those fish would normally hide under the pavilion, and whenever the young eunuch came over to feed them, they would immediately gather around, squeezing and snatching the food from each other. They would not hesitate to put away the leftover rice grains in their stomachs. Zhuang Li would sometimes see carp jumping out of the water to eat the spiders that were crawling on the plants in the flower pot beside the pond.

The pomegranate in front of his room seemed to have grown a bit during his absence, but it was still only a tiny fruit. It would be impossible to eat it or imagine the rich and juicy seeds inside.

Ever since the day the pomegranate bloomed, she had been looking at it every day. The flower bloomed extremely brilliantly. The fruit was small and green. small oval fruit, at best like a larger green date. Regardless of whether she was in a room or a teahouse, she was used to looking at it whenever she was free. However, it still wasn't big enough. She suddenly understood. That little pomegranate was originally an ornamental plant. How could she expect it to bear such a ripe fruit?

The climate of the capital was not suitable for the cultivation of pomegranate. It was only because the flowers were red that they were introduced into the palace wall. In the palace wall, in an expensive flower pot, under the careful care of a gardener, the pomegranate sprouts. No matter how strong it was, it was still a sour fruit after all; after the season, it would fall into the pot and eventually turn into mud.
