Chang Anqing

Chapter 201
In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, Li Sui got up by himself. Nian Nu, who was on duty outside and heard the sound, opened the curtain and saw that his princess had got up, and hurried down to call the maids who were waiting for the grooming to file in.

"Didn't the princess sleep well last night? Why is there black and blue?"

Li Sui, who was still dazed at first, raised his head at the sound, but didn't say anything. He just let the person put on his dress and walked towards the dressing table alone.

Sitting in front of the mirror, Li Sui really saw the exhaustion he couldn't hide.

She had another nightmare last night, and it was a scene she hadn't dreamed of for a long time.

I dreamed that my elder sister was hanging faintly on the high beams of the Lizheng Hall, all alone.

"What about my sister?"

Hearing Li Sui's question, Nian Nu tied her hair and said: "I went to ask just now, and His Majesty will just get up now."

Li Sui nodded silently when he heard the words, looked at himself in the mirror who was getting more and more properly dressed, and said calmly: "All the salutes are ready, and I will leave the palace after breakfast."

"Yes."

In this room, the court maids were holding the court service of Emperor Yuan Cheng and stood aside, and Emperor Yuan Cheng also closed his eyes with a tired face, and was served by Chengde one by one in outerwear.

At this moment, the familiar breath lingered on the tip of his nose bit by bit, making Emperor Yuan Cheng's expression rare to relax. The moment he opened his eyes, when he saw Empress Yang standing in front of him, who was carefully arranging her clothes, Emperor Yuan Cheng's eyes A different kind of gentleness suddenly appeared in her heart, and the next moment she naturally wrapped her arms tightly with both hands, and gently stroked her soft blue hair with her chin.

"It's still early, let's sleep a little longer."

Familiar embrace, familiar voice, familiar passion, but at this moment, Empress Yang can no longer feel a little bit of happiness, only feels a dull and indescribable force colliding aimlessly in her heart.

"No problem—"

The moment Empress Yang raised her head to face Shangyuan Chengdi, she squeezed out a lingering smile with all her strength, looked at those tender eyes and said slowly: "After breakfast, I will go out with Ah Man. Palace."

Hearing Empress Yang's words, Emperor Yuan Cheng reluctantly took her into his arms again, and rubbed his tired voice in her ear just like the boy back then: "Go, I will wait for you at home, remember— —”

"Whenever you want to come back, my husband will personally ride the horse and drive you."

Family?
Where did she come from?
Listening to these tender love words, Empress Yang calmly let Emperor Yuancheng hold her, but tears gradually welled up in her eyes: "I have copied many scriptures and brought them away, do you think our Wenhui will see them?"

Noticing the slight pause of the hands embracing him, Empress Yang had a wooden smile on her lips. At this moment, Emperor Yuan Cheng couldn't help showing everything about last night's nightmare again, but he didn't dare to show the slightest trace, so he could only try his best to hold on. She clasped her hands and said reassuringly, "Yes, I will see."

"The county lord."

At this time, Gong'e who was standing outside whispered a message. Hearing this reminder, Emperor Yuan Cheng gradually let go of his hand. Seeing Li Sui who lifted the curtain, he had already covered up his uneasiness and nervousness, and said with a warm smile: "Today, you Come early."

Li Sui saw that the elder sister who had lowered her head and couldn't see her expression clearly showed a gentle smile when she turned her head to look at her. He was relieved immediately, and sneered as usual: "according to cousin I mean, I think I'm too early."

While speaking, seeing Li Sui approaching, Empress Yang fondly stretched out her hand to caress Li Sui's cheek, and then said to Jiamo, "Is breakfast ready?"

"Go back to Your Highness, it's done."

Hearing this, Emperor Yuan Cheng smiled and tilted his head and said, "It's just right, I will have dinner with your sisters today."

While speaking, Emperor Yuan Cheng naturally held Empress Yang's hand. At the moment of touching, Empress Yang almost instinctively wanted to shake it off, but she suppressed the churning in her heart and stretched out with a smile. With his right hand, he led Li Sui who was beside him and walked out together.

After breakfast, Emperor Yuan Cheng took Empress Yang's hand like this, and walked out of the Lizheng Hall step by step under the envious and smiling eyes of the palace people. When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he looked at the warm sedan chair that had already parked, Emperor Yuan Cheng paused, stretched out his hand sideways to make the cloak tighter for Empress Yang as if no one was around, then took the hand stove Chengde was holding and handed it to Empress Yang.

"The hand furnace Kamogai carried—"

Aware of Queen Yang's refusal, Emperor Yuan Cheng gently still put the hand stove in Queen Yang's hand, took her left hand and put it on, wrapped her hands tightly with both hands, firmly held the hand stove and said: "I don't see you for a day, I miss it. I want this hand stove to be with you every day, so that I can feel at ease when I am with you."

After all, Emperor Yuan Cheng reached out with a smile in his eyes and took away the hand stove that Jiamo was holding, raised his hand and said, "I will keep this."

Seeing the childlike appearance of the dignified emperor, the maids standing there covered their lips and smiled lightly, but Emperor Yuan Cheng turned to look at Li Sui indifferently and said, "Aman, I will entrust Yu Niang to you." , take good care of her."

"I know, I know, cousin, you are getting more and more verbose."

While talking, Li Sui stepped forward to hold Empress Yang by the arm and said, "Sister, let's go."

Hearing Li Sui's voice, feeling Emperor Yuan Cheng's warm hands withdraw from the backs of his hands, Empress Yang seemed to be relieved after being brushed away from the heavy stones, she turned her head and looked at Emperor Yuan Cheng in front of her again. , Shicai turned his head and asked Chengde: "Don't forget to advise Your Majesty to add more clothes and meals frequently, so don't stay up too late."

After Chengde responded respectfully, Emperor Yuan Cheng just watched the two sisters leave with a long group of people so tenderly, gradually drifting away.

The snow in front of the porch is still there, and Emperor Yuan Cheng under the porch is still warm and moist, but no one can see, see the melancholy and loneliness that cannot be compared with humanity in his eyes.

When they got out of the inner palace, they changed their carriages and horses. When they heard the palace carriage slowly driving towards Xuanwu Gate, the voices of guards suddenly sounded outside the carriage.

"His Royal Highness, Princess Yongning went out of the palace to Yuqing Temple to pray for blessings, and let them go quickly."

Seeing Jiamo holding the Jade Token of the Palace, the guards at the gate of the palace immediately bowed down and saluted, and there was the sound of uniform armor clashing.

"Your Majesty will send you off—"

After all, the carriage drove slowly again. At the moment when the carriage drove away from the palace gate, Empress Yang couldn't help lifting the soft curtain. At that moment, she saw the golden light shining on the Xuanwu City Tower, emitting an extreme light. The birds passed by lightly, soaring into the sky.

At that moment, she seemed to have broken through the ice and was redeemed.

At that moment, for the first time, a thought popped up in her heart that she had never had before.

If she left Daming Palace, she might be free.

When the chariots and horses left Chang'an and headed towards Yuqing Temple, Li Sui who was sitting beside him could clearly feel that, smelling the fragrance of vegetation and listening to the melodious song of birds along the way, it was the first time that the elder sister next to her showed her eyes. Different from what it used to be.

It was like stripping off the shackles, breaking free from the shackles, revealing the wanton and carefree smile of the former boudoir.

It turned out that the gorgeous Daming Palace in the eyes of the world is really just a prison.

Once shackles elder sister, also shackles her.

No matter how delicate and beautiful a flower is, it will decay from it and be crushed into dust.
