Chapter 323

Maybe it's because I'm too busy to deal with things after the year, and the number of times I meet her has gradually decreased. However, I can always think of her in the midst of my busy schedule.

When discussing matters at the court, I would think of her because a minister's mysterious magic trick was not worthy of great use. When wandering in the palace, I would think of her because of the gossip and gossip about a certain guard and a certain maidservant getting mixed up. She even thought of her when eating in the palace because of the palace man's words that sweet wine was prepared today...

Even if she is not around, it seems that she is everywhere.

Even when she seemed to be avoiding me, I always found an opportunity to tease her.

I originally wanted to take the opportunity to get close to someone else with a plan to complete the great cause, but at the end of the calculation, it seemed that it had somehow changed.

Before I knew it, it was the beginning of spring, and the frontier war suddenly broke out, and I should be dispatched to quell the chaos.

Before the expedition, I didn't need to prepare much, but now, things seem to be different.

Sitting by the desk for a long time, the rice paper on the desk has been laid out for a while, but unfortunately, the pen in my hand was raised and lowered, and I still couldn't write a word.

I stared at the white paper alone for a long time, and I finally wrote the pen after a breath.

In the time it took for a stick of incense to stick, the military adviser happened to push the door open, and I just happened to hand over the ink-splattered paper to him.

The military adviser lowered his head and scanned the content on the paper, and immediately understood what I meant, but even so, he still made fun of me with some ulterior motives.

Dao, I thought that His Highness stayed in the study all afternoon to consider how to talk to Jiang Sitian about the expedition, but I never thought that after so long, I only came up with a counter-insurgency strategy.

When the words fell, my hands stopped immediately, as if to cover up the embarrassment, I raised my hand calmly and pulled the blank rice paper on the case, and then covered the envelope that was originally placed next to my hand, and then casually replied that you think too much.

But the other party was full of doubts about my response. After looking at me with a half-smile but not a smile for a while, he shook his head and went out with the paper after all.

Seeing that he really walked out of the study and closed the door, I retracted my gaze, and my gaze was slightly deflected, and moved to the covered envelope under the rice paper again.

I laughed silently, and for a moment it seemed that I could only mock myself as if I had been lowered.

How can I think of her in everything, how can everyone mention her...

Ah--

What am I delusional about?
The war broke out quickly, and it took more than half a year to leave, and there was no news of this farewell.

When returning to the palace triumphantly, the old emperor would ask me as usual if I need to ask for some rewards. In the past, I always smiled and took it as if I had no desires, but this time, I had already thought about what to do when I was on the way back to the imperial city. ask for something.

Fortunately, someone once mentioned to me that the policy of forcing officials to stay in the palace is very inappropriate, otherwise I would not have thought of asking for a freedom order with the old man of the emperor in order to sell the officials for a benefit.

This discussion is not specifically for anyone, but out of the consideration of the current situation.

When the nine sons are fighting, I should do something after all.

When the old emperor heard that I had the idea of ​​benefiting the officials in the palace, after a few days and nights of thinking, he finally agreed.

After that, the decree was quickly drafted and issued to all officials, which caused an uproar in the court.

Just as I expected, this order was enough to attract the attention of many beneficiary officials, and they were even so surprised that they started to look at me directly. The expression was almost the same as seeing some ghosts and monsters that could be used for divination.

But I know that this is only the first step on my face.

One day, I came back from the imperial study to discuss matters, and went straight back to the palace by bypassing the palace lake as usual, but who knows, before I got completely close to the palace lake, I saw a familiar figure in the pavilion.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I haven't seen her for a long time.

So, I, who was going to the palace quickly, walked into the pavilion without saying a word, and naturally raised my lips and made a joke——

In the past few months, you have been avoiding Bengong, but now you will deliberately invite Bengong to eat.

It was a well-known teasing remark, and it should only get her a self-indulgent snort.

I took it with a smile, stepped forward and looked down at the table of delicate side dishes, and was surprised when I accidentally found that several of the dishes on the plate were my favorite dishes.

After scrutinizing her expression for a while, I immediately guessed her intentions, and sat down on the stone bench beside the table with a wave of my sleeves.

Ninety-nine percent of the time she came for that.

Sure enough, during the meal, I heard her mention the matter of the palace freedom order more than once.I don't know if it's because she hinted too clearly, but I still feel a little bit of secret joy.

But after the corners of my lips curled up, I just said coldly, I'm just asking for a reward for fun, don't think too much about it.

At that time, she only let out a faint oh.

This matter was never mentioned again.

It seems that because of the relaxation of this matter, since then, the gap between us, if there seems to be no permeation, has gradually dissipated.

Its most notable performance is that we can not only sit down and eat at the same table with peace of mind after the mutual confrontation, but also switch to the market to play after the conflict.

Even later, I actually started to sneak into the house by accident, just to meet her and exchange a word or two.

Although I really don't want to admit it, she seems to have really come to my side without making a fuss, and brought a lot of laughter to my insignificant life.

She is like the only candle for me to survive in the deep palace, she can always pull me out of the endless night without any effort, and constantly bewitch me to sink into it.

From then on, we met more and more times, and spent more and more time together. Over time, quarreling and bickering became a part of our daily experience.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this change that I try harder to grasp the vision of freedom that is in front of me, and I am more eager to retain the tenderness and warmth that is in front of me.

The scene in the palace changed quietly under my secret promotion, the forces of various factions gradually condensed, and the throne suddenly became the existence that the princes coveted.

Finally, with the help of my military adviser and me, we ushered in our first opportunity.

It was a long-planned expedition. If it succeeds, I will be able to leave the deep palace and find a corner to live in peace.

However, what the military division said made me worry.

In the past, I could have given it a go without any scruples, but at this moment, I already had delusional thoughts, after all, I couldn't just ask myself to retreat completely.

Because, I'm afraid she's involved.

Before the expedition, the old emperor arranged a blessing ceremony for us as usual.

On the day of the great ceremony for offering sacrifices to heaven, I thought about it and finally drove out of the palace to pick her up. I wanted to take the opportunity of being alone to remind her a few words, but after thinking about it all the way, I still didn't know where to start.

It wasn't until the carriage drove up to the gate of the palace that I could barely open my mouth and told me that no matter what happens in the palace during the few months when I am not here, you don't have to get involved or take care of it, even if someone invites you to enter the palace for divination If you can push it away, you can stay out of it.

After listening to it, she seemed hesitant to speak.

I knew she wanted to ask something, so I deliberately stopped and waited for her to speak, but who knew that the emperor's father-in-law came at the right time, and before we could say a word, we were separated.

When I participated in the ceremony of praying for blessings and offering sacrifices to heaven, I looked up and prayed devoutly like everyone else.

Looking at her graceful figure standing on the stargazing platform, I suddenly recalled the year when I first met her, she also prayed on the platform like this, serious but with sly eyes.

Although the deep palace has erased her superficial flamboyance to a certain extent, it can never wash away the cheerfulness and kindness engraved in her bones.

And I also hope that she can always maintain that heartless smile as always.

On the occasion of parting from the expedition, I waited outside the city with a large group of people for half a stick of incense. A blue shadow came rushing.

She seems to like cyan color very much. Since I knew her, most of her clothing and accessories are mainly cyan color, among which the color of indigo is the most.

This is a dull and not very pleasing color, but when I wear it on her, I always feel that this color is very bright, not only makes people extraordinarily beautiful and moving, but also allows me to spot her at a glance in the crowd.

When she approached, I got on my horse, and my side eyes suddenly met hers, and I actually read a bit of worry in it.

Overjoyed, I carelessly rubbed the red string she gave me on my wrist with my fingertips, and my tone softened involuntarily.

wait me back.I said.

She smiled and answered, yes.

However, there are bound to be only two outcomes.

Either don't ask about the date of return, or the flowers on Moshang are blooming.
