After a long while, hymen finally finished crying. Her teary almond-shaped eyes became a bunch of bright red peaches, causing Xi Jiu Er's heart to ache as he wiped off the water stains on her face. He smiled and scratched her nose, "How old are you, and you still love to cry?
When hymen heard this, his tears turned into smiles. He raised his sleeves to wipe the tears on his face.
Xi Jiu Er reached out her hand and placed a strand of hair that was scattered on her forehead next to her ear, then pulled it back and gently rubbed her cheek. Who bullied you today? Let me hear it! "
Hearing that, hymen's face showed grievance and unease again. After hesitating for a moment, he finally revealed everything that happened when he went to the imperial study to deliver Youzi's honey tea.
She thought that after getting along with Feng Qing Cheng for the past few days, they would be able to get back together. No matter what happened between the two of them before, in the end, they still hoped that after the birth of a child that they alone could have a father that deeply loved him, the love and love of both his parents would be indispensable.
However, in the end, it was still a luxury. This man had never been his. He was too naive.
The smile in his eyes had already completely dimmed down. hymen had long expected this result, but unfortunately, his own mouth was stupid, and didn't know how to advise his pitiful Imperial Concubine. He could only silently withdraw.
If one could say that their heart had been wounded once, then they could pretend that nothing had happened to numb themselves. However, if their heart had been injured twice, thrice, thrice, and even countless times, it would already be riddled with holes.
Xi Jiu Er tightly pursed her lips, and felt a tearing pain in a certain part of her heart, there was a place where someone held a sharp dagger that separated every part of her heart, bringing it in front of her eyes, dripping with blood. She pointed at the blood that was already gradually flowing away, her gradually drying heart, as she silently ridiculed her own naivety and stupidity, and how childish she was.
Occasionally, a cool breeze would sneak into the empty inner hall. The candle flame danced above the lampstand, causing a long shadow to appear on the marble floor.
On the bed, a deep stain of water had stained half of the jade pillow.
The next day, Xi Jiu Er lazily slept for half a day. She had originally planned to look for a few books to flip through in the afternoon, but she didn't expect that after lunch time, she would fall asleep again. By the time she woke up, it was already sunset.
After being hungry for an entire afternoon, Xi Jiu Er began to crave for food in her stomach and called her personal palace maid over. After eating dinner, she had originally planned to go back to bed.
Unexpectedly, a shocking thunderbolt completely dispelled her sleepiness.
After Xi Jiu Er finished her dinner, she helped herself up and was about to return to the inner hall. However, before she could even step out, the sound of footsteps came from outside the hall, followed by the familiar sharp and slightly hoarse voice of the Chief Eunuch.
Xi Jiu Er stopped in her tracks, turned her head, and sure enough, it was Chief Eunuch who walked in with a group of palace maids.
"His Majesty has ordered for Imperial Concubine to head over to the royal study."
Chief Eunuch waved his hand and respectfully made way for him. He waited for Xi Jiu Er to lead the group out of the palace.
Xi Jiu Er heard and was stunned. Actually at this time, she did not want to see Feng Qing Cheng, but Chief Eunuch led a group of palace maids and stood respectfully at the side of the palace. From the looks of it, if she did not take the orders to go, he would continue waiting there until the end of time.
Helplessly, Xi Jiu Er could only turn around and with the support of her personal palace maid, she slowly walked out of the palace.
Outside of the palace, a Dragon Chase had already stopped outside. Chief Eunuch saw that Xi Jiu Er was frozen in place and immediately went forward to invite her onto the carriage.
Xi Jiu Er was actually a little surprised, how could someone like Feng Qing Cheng lift up the Dragon Bow, which symbolized an extremely noble status belonging to the Emperor, for her to ride.
This action made Xi Jiu Er suspicious.
The Chief Eunuch did not care what Xi Jiu Er thought, he only wanted to hurry to the imperial study, otherwise the Emperor would be furious.
However, the night wind outside was slightly cold. When Xi Jiu Er came out, because she was in a rush, she forgot to add on her clothes, so she sat on the empty carriage, chilled to the point that she shivered a little by the night wind.
The Chief Eunuch, who was leading the way from the side, observed the situation. Seeing Xi Jiu Er, who was sitting high up on the Dragon Cage and feeling a little cold, she immediately got everyone to stop. She took the mink overcoat she had prepared from the palace maid and draped it over her body.
It was only then that Xi Jiu Er realized that she did not know why Feng Qing Cheng had called for him in the middle of the night. In the past, this was the first time Feng Qing Cheng had come to his palace to eat dinner, and then, to stay overnight; he had never taken the initiative to call for him.
Xi Jiu Er threw her suspicions to Chief Eunuch, who knew that he was only met with an enigmatic smile, and spoke of him from left and right, Xi Jiu Er was too lazy to listen to him, she anxiously stopped, and leaned on the Dragon Cage, drowsy.
After half a cup of tea had passed, Xi Jiu Er felt the Dragon Cage stopped. Someone was speaking to him from the side of her ear, and she vaguely heard that someone had asked him to go down.
He lifted off his wide hat and opened his eyes in a daze. Under the moonlight, the words' Imperial Study 'seemed especially obvious.
Just as Xi Jiu Er's brain started to work, she remembered that she was brought to the royal study room by Feng Qing Cheng at dusk.
He then looked around and realized that he was still on top of the Dragon Cage. He blinked and stretched his body before stepping off the Dragon Cage with one hand supporting his waist and the other supported by his personal palace maid.
Carrying a heavy body, Xi Jiu Er slowly walked step by step to the entrance of the imperial study.
Chief Eunuch went in to report, and then immediately brought Xi Jiu Er in.
Xi Jiu Er said half-heartedly as she blessed the emperor who was on the dragon bed. Seeing that Xi Jiu Er's body had become heavier and heavier after a few days of absence, she immediately called for someone to bring over a chair.
Xi Jiu Er sat down, she was very curious about the emperor's unexpected summons tonight.
Feng Qing Cheng did not beat around the bush, and directly asked the guards to bring Feng Jin Se up here.
