Chang Anqing

Chapter 289 Furong's Old Dream
Just as Yang Chongyuan thought, although Baoying is a noble concubine, she is very gentle and patient when facing the crazy concubine Xian who is like a child. Along the way, listening to the concubine Xian babbling about the childhood of Dalang Yang Jin, Under the sunlight, Baoying saw Concubine Xian beside her with a tranquility she hadn't felt for a long time, as if she was still the same beautiful and proud Mrs. Cao from before.

"Da Lang is the most filial child in the world. I did many wrong things in the past, hurt him a lot, and killed the person he cared about most—"

As she was talking, Concubine Xian's voice gradually became hoarse and choked up, with Baoying's support, Concubine Xian couldn't help shedding tears, like a begonia falling in the rain, desolate but beautiful.

"Although he didn't say it, I knew it all, I knew it all, but he said that he never hated me, he didn't even have any complaints, he said that he didn't protect him well, he was incompetent, so he tried his best to protect me I'm safe—"

Hearing Concubine Xian's sobbing words, even Baoying at the side also shed tears. Although Dalang has been gone for so long, she still can remember that dignified and heroic eldest brother, and still remembers how he lived in Ah Man. On the eve of the wedding, the queen's sister was still there, and Da Lang was still there. The brothers and sisters in the Taiwei's mansion all gathered in one room lively, having barbecue and wine, drinking orders, and punching wine.

It would be great if everything could go back to that time, to the beginning, to the moment of reunion.

There is no contention, no killing, no hatred, Ah Man will not be sad for the departure of the queen sister, will not be separated from Princess Qinghe for the sake of the declining Chen royal family, and will not pretend to be free and easy in front of them , will alone bear the loneliness and pain.

"ah--"

Just when Baoying was in a daze, a person suddenly walked towards her at the corner and bumped into her.

"Princess—"

"Concubine Xian—"

Just when the palace people were exclaiming, Baoying saw Shangguan Ling who was pale, nervous and frightened, and was about to salute.

"The virtuous concubine forgives the sin, the crown princess forgives the sin, the concubine—"

Without waiting for Shangguan Ling to finish her sentence, Baoying personally stretched out her right hand to support Shangguan Ling's arm, and when she raised her head, the two looked at each other, as if they had been separated forever.

At that time, Shangguanling was still the daughter-in-law of the Shangguan family, the granddaughter-in-law of King Linzi, the wife of the rich and handsome Bohai County King, and the noble princess of the county.

Speaking of it at that time, Baoying, the wife of the Duke of Chang'an, wanted to salute and say hello to her.

And now-

Seeing Shangguan Ling with a tense expression, Baoying's heart felt as if it was tugging. In a trance, the humble figure in front of her unconsciously overlapped with the gloomy back on the field just now. She was suave and proud when we first met.

"Miss, don't blame yourself, I haven't seen you, please get up."

Hearing this gentle voice as before, the stagnant Shangguan Ling Dingding looked at Baoying who was still smiling in front of her. At that moment, all the worries, fears, and indecision in her heart seemed to be shattered by this gentle smile.

seeing is believing.

How can such a pure and kind person who does not change with the change of status and status refuse to save him?

Maybe she was right.

Almost at the same time, when Baoying stood up with his strength, Shangguanling calmly stuffed a ball of paper squeezed into Baoying's hand.

At that moment, she saw surprise in her eyes, which turned into calm after trying to calm down.

After Baoying sent Concubine Xian to Lingqi Hall, she was dragged by the nagging Concubine Xian, who acted like a child and refused to let her go.

Seeing this, Baoying pondered for a moment, then said to Hui Rong: "Go back and report to His Majesty and Your Highness first, just say that Concubine Xian has returned to the palace safely, and it won't be too late for me to go back after she is settled down."

"Crown princess, can you be alone, or a servant or—"

Facing Shang Huirong's worried look, Baoying smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, Concubine Xian is fine at the moment, wait a while for the imperial doctor to see her, and I will accompany her to take the medicine before leaving."

Hui Rong, who wanted to say something more, saw Baoying's determined eyes, and finally held back, then turned to look at Xianfei, who was indeed quiet as an ordinary person, and did not seem to hurt others, then nodded and saluted: "Then, The servants will leave first."

Seeing Huirong leave in peace, Baoying coaxed Concubine Xian to eat something tirelessly, and listened to her tell the old story of Dalang for a long time, until she personally served Concubine Xian and took the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, and put Concubine Xian to sleep Only then did he rub his already sore and numb legs and stood up from the side of the couch.

"After the lady woke up, she still took the medicine on time according to the doctor's advice, so she took good care of her."

After all, Baoying thought for a while, and then thoughtfully told Gong'e who was serving Concubine Xian personally: "The old things related to King Ning should be put away in a box for a while, and when Concubine Xian is in better spirits—"

While speaking, Baoying looked back at Concubine Xian who was sleeping peacefully, and said in a low voice: "It's not too late to miss Concubine Xian."

"Yes."

Hearing Baoying's words, Gong'e nodded with tears in her eyes, but just as Baoying was about to leave, the crowd couldn't help kneeling down in gratitude.

"Thanks to the Crown Princess, Concubine Xian today, without you, the lives of slaves and servants may not be guaranteed."

Seeing that everyone was kneeling and worshiping her, Baoying was also surprised, and hurriedly helped Gong'e who was talking, and said: "Concubine Xian is the elder, and King Ning is gone. I will be filial to him from now on. As for you, it is hard work to take care of Concubine Xian and do your best. , when I go back, I will implore His Majesty to deal with it lightly, so you can rest assured."

Hearing these words, all the people present were moved to tears. They were old people who served Concubine Xian, so they naturally knew about the feud between Empress Li and Concubine Cao.

Therefore, they believed very much that based on what happened today, Empress Li could send them off in an open and honest manner.

But they never imagined that the noble and supreme concubine in front of her not only took care of Concubine Xian without complaint, but also cared for them without hesitation.

"Congratulations to the princess."

Seeing everyone sending her off with tears in gratitude, Baoying also responded with a smile, and walked out step by step.

Seeing that gentle and dignified figure from the back, everyone in the Lingqi Hall couldn't help bowing respectfully.

This is the Guanyin lady that exists in the world.

When Baoying walked out of the Lingqi Hall alone and walked on the corridor, she couldn't help but pull out the crumpled note from her sleeve.

"It's a matter of life and death, please see me."

When she saw the location written on the note, Baoying couldn't help but hold the note tightly in her hand.

Thinking back to the eyes full of begging just now, those eyes shone like a piece of driftwood finally seen in the torrent.

She would not be mistaken for that kind of thirst for life.

Is it—

Thinking of this, Baoying felt chills running down her spine, not knowing if she should go or——

In such a daze, Baoying involuntarily walked to the Furong Garden by the Kyushu Pool.

Raising her eyes, she saw that tree of hibiscus flowers as bright red as a beauty's face again. It was dazzlingly beautiful and as red as fire.

Walk over with one foot shallow and one foot deep, and stand under the tallest and best-blooming hibiscus tree.

In a daze, she seemed to see the single-filament red ground silver lacquer gold thread embroidered honeysuckle gauze drape hanging on it, fluttering in the wind.

"If the lady is at ease, let me have a try."

The voice that was so familiar that it made people cry suddenly echoed in her ears, almost uncontrollably, Baoying turned to look.

Suddenly, that gentle and jade-like, noble and upright figure seemed to be standing in front of him again.

With moist and surging eyes, silent tears fell down, but everything that was empty in front of her eyes at this moment completely brought her back to reality.

At that moment, Baoying smiled with tears in her eyes.

It's over, everything is over after all.

"Advise you not to cherish golden thread clothes, and advise you to cherish youth.

Blossoms can be folded straight to be folded, don't wait for no flowers to break branches..."

Just when Baoying was heartbroken and determined not to let go, the faint libretto of the musicians in the Pear Garden sounded again in her ears.

Everything is just like that day, just right.

"Flowers can be broken when they bloom, and they must be broken, don't wait for no flowers to break branches—"

Whispering and whispering, Baoying couldn't weigh anymore, she abandoned her usual dignified and polite posture, and headed towards the Zangshu Pavilion agreed on the note.

She knew that they had missed it long ago, and she should have let it go long ago.

But she couldn't deceive herself, he was her favorite when she was young, her favorite for thousands of years, and her favorite like a spark in her life.

Just like what she told Ah Man frankly at the beginning, in the past, she didn't care about Chang'an, fame or status, whether she would stay or stay.

But in the end she changed, and he became her belief and reason for staying in Chang'an.

Because of him, she bid farewell to the cowardly person she used to be, who couldn't control her own life, who couldn't control whether she would stay or not.

Because of him, she stayed in Chang'an and accepted the marriage, and only then did she meet Yang Yan who treated her wholeheartedly, was willing to forget everything in the past, and was full of trust and love for her.

Because of him, she understands what love is, what is perfection, and what is worse than forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes.

She is undoubtedly lucky now.

So she hopes that he is happy, that he is safe, and that he can live a lifetime without any worries.

On the day of the Shangguan's coup, those who protected her outside the mansion, she knew, were all his people.

He hoped that she could live in peace, no matter how the world changed, he never changed this belief.

Yes,

survive
must live
How could she forget everything and refuse to save herself——

　Digression: Will love last long when I was young?Have you ever had a love that you have seen for thousands of years when you were young?How long has that love lasted, three to five years, or ten years.Yesterday was 520, and today is 521. I hope that everyone will meet the one who likes each other no matter sooner or later, and join hands for a lifetime of peace and joy.
