Chapter 698

In the flower forest of late spring, a quiet woman sits on a small chair in the forest.

On the incense table at the woman's hand, the fragrance is accompanied by the faint fragrance of flowers, which is refreshing and beautiful.

The courtesan came over with the tea and saw the pretty woman on the small chair. She said, "Niang, this is a new kind of cake specially sent by the imperial dining room. It's called Xuerong cake. It's a new way from the West."

"Put it down." The woman said softly, and her eyes were fixed on the old book in her hand. This book is really old. From the Yellow corner, it is not difficult to see its age.

If the palace maid put it down, she would stand by quietly and wait.

"How about the Royal study today?" After a long time, the woman in the chair asked suddenly.

The palace maid replied truthfully, "go back to your mother. The emperor went to the Royal study to ask some of the princes about their lessons. The third prince asked a question, and the emperor praised the third prince two times."

When the woman heard this, she put down the book in her hand, looked at the palace maid, and frowned: "how can the emperor go to the Royal study today? Will the king of power arrive in Beijing tomorrow? "

The maid said, "I don't know about the maidservant, but I heard from several princes in front of the emperor that it's like tomorrow's feast. The emperor wants to choose a prince to go out with the prince. Now it's determined that he should be the seventh prince."

The woman smiled, opened the book again, and said: "the seventh prince will seize the opportunity to work together with the prince, and he will never be missing."

The palace maid drooped her eyes and stopped talking.

The woman then said, "after class, let arling come here. Next month will be the day of her death. You have to think about a way to send her out of the palace."

"Yes." The palace maid obediently answered the voice and continued to guard beside.

Until the time is almost, the woman just left lightly, all the way to the direction of the Royal study.

After the woman left, the flower forest covered by exotic fragrance stepped into an unexpected guest.

The sound of light and steady footsteps came from behind. The woman on the chair seemed to have a feeling. She put down the unfinished miscellaneous book again, sighed her head, and said, "Why are you here again?"

Behind the chair, a small eunuch with a face like powder and a handsome Qing Jun, with his head hanging down, approached slowly. He stood beside the woman in a respectful posture, but his words were full of casualness: "I came to see my mother."

The woman looked back at him and said, "I heard that after two days, the Empress Dowager is going to leave the palace again. At this time, you should be busy. How can you come to my Changyang palace?"

The little eunuch walked forward two steps, and when he was in front of the woman, he stared at her with profound eyes. His voice was soft and gentle: "I want to be a lady."

The woman a stagnant, stare at him one eye, scold way: "disrespectful!"

The little eunuch lowered his head and made no sound.

The woman looked at him like this and said, "although you were a member of our palace at first, you have been under the imperial concubine's door for many years. You don't need to respect me for a long time. In the future, you still don't want to come. If you can be seen, it's hard to explain."

"I came to report to the Empress Dowager." Said the little eunuch.

The woman frowned: "Xiang Yi, I don't want you to come here. Do you understand?"

The eunuch stopped talking.

For a while, there was no sound in the huge flower forest except for the slight breeze.

Silence pervaded the two worlds. For a while, the woman rose from her chair, turned around and went to the palace.

Just a step away, the little eunuch behind quickly swept over and blocked her.

Women twist their eyebrows.

The little eunuch said: "I go to Guanyuan temple. I'm afraid that before the new year, I can't go back to the palace any more. Today, I ask my lady to let me serve you for a day. I don't need anything else. Just like before, I ask my maid to cloth dishes for my mother, serve her meals, study ink for her, and accompany her......"

The woman looked at him deeply, but her expression was not very good: "a Leng is coming today."

The little eunuch immediately said, "I can hide in..."

"You're a concubine. You're no different here. If you let arling find out, it will only be more difficult to explain. Arling is still on guard against me. I don't want him to misunderstand that I'm a schemer. You've been around me for many years. You should understand!"

The little eunuch was silent again.

Finally, the woman said, "go!"

At last, add: "never come again!"

Words fall, the woman does not return to leave.

And the little eunuch stood in the same place and stared at the woman's back until her figure disappeared and his eyes did not take back.

Two days later, the little eunuch left the palace with the Empress Dowager. Before leaving, a palace maid came to Chang Yang palace and secretly stuffed him with something.

The little eunuch paid the money, and the maid took advantage of it and said with a smile: "this is what the lady drew yesterday. The maidservant stole it but took a great risk. I can remember from the father-in-law that if there was a chance, the father-in-law promised the maidservant to act for the maidservant in front of the mother-in-law."

"You're good for me. You're good for it." Said the little eunuch.

The palace maids should answer with their mouths. They are happy all the time.After the palace maid left, the little eunuch opened the scroll. This is a picture of enjoying spring. In the garden full of fragrant flowers, a quiet and beautiful woman, with a book in her hand, leans on a comfortable small chair. The woman has a incense table beside it. There are only a few smoke and shadows on the incense table. There is also a plate of cake beside the incense table. The cake has no trace of movement. It is like a decoration Son.

The little eunuch's eyes were full of nostalgia. After a while, he went back to his study and quickly studied ink. He drew the same way with his hands in the scroll. Next to the woman, he added a figure. The figure was wearing the eunuch's clothes, with a happy smile on his face. He was determined to be his own handsome appearance.

After painting for a long time, when he finally finished, he dried the paper, and saw that it was almost like a drawing made by one hand. The corners of his mouth were gently hooked, and his eyes were full of tenderness.

"Whoo!" There was a little pumping, and it sounded in the quiet room.

It was night, Xiang Yi sat up from the bed, reached out and touched his forehead subconsciously. He felt the cold sweat all over his head. He breathed, pressed his fingers against his heart, and clenched his fingers into fists.

The little eunuch outside the door who kept watch at night heard the noise and gently called out, "Grandpa, are you awake?"

Xiang Yi looks at the silhouette outside her eyes and says, "well."

"Do you want me to come in and serve you?" he asked

"No need."

I will be honest outside and will not disturb you any more.

Xiang Yi lies back on the big bed, looks at the top of the bed curtain with empty eyes, and thinks of the beautiful image of the woman in the dream just now.

Control the surging of the heart and mouth, and close your eyes to Yi mercilessly.

How long has it been since I dreamed about it?

Even he can't remember

At the beginning, he was always eager to fall asleep, eager to return to that person before he died in his dream, and she was like a long time ago, accompanying each other. As long as he watched her smile, it would be enough for him to be satisfied all day.

But later, as the years passed, he found that he could never dream of her again?

No matter how she sleeps, no matter how she misses him, the man no longer appears. She doesn't want to see him. Even in her dream, she has to refuse to see him.
