I've never felt happy to become an immortal.

Chapter 107 Sorry, Lianxing
In the palace, Jiang Wanyue, who had just finished the morning court, was particularly energetic today.

I no longer have the constant yawning and fatigue I used to have.

It's in excellent condition, just like a fully charged cell phone.

Her image at this time could not be seen directly by the court officials, so she basically ruled the country from behind the curtain, using her true energy to change her voice.

The excuse given to the outside world is that while practicing the secret method, one cannot meet other people at will.

As long as it does not affect the government, the ministers below will not speak nonsense just because they cannot meet each other.

After leaving the hall, Jiang Wanyue was also dressed lightly, sitting on a cloth sedan chair, talking to Eunuch Song next to her.

"So, Lianxing was not in the palace last night?"

"Yes."

"That's ridiculous. It's so rare that I arranged it for her..." When she said this, Jiang Wanyue suddenly lowered her voice, seeming to have an inexplicable guilty conscience.

If Lianxing had come back, I might not have met Baixuan under the ginkgo tree last night, and my wonderful journey might not have happened.

Judging from the results, she was the direct beneficiary of keeping Bai Xuan in the palace, and she should be grateful that Lian Xing was not in the palace.

Various thoughts flashed through Jiang Wanyue's mind, and she was distracted for a few seconds: "She actually went to live outside. Isn't she worried about assassins?"

"And it seems he slept side by side with Duke Ningguo last night."

"Ning Jianshuang?" Jiang Wanyue twitched her cheeks. "Could it be that she prefers to be with girls?"

"I don't think so. His Highness Prince Yun should have gone to apologize. Young Master Bai also has a close relationship with the Duke of Ningguo, so it is indeed necessary to cultivate good relations." Eunuch Song smiled and said, "His Highness Prince Yun has already returned to the palace."

"Well, let's go and take a look." Jiang Wanyue waved her hand.

"Go to Weiyang Palace!"

……

After a night, Jiang Lianxing returned to the Forbidden City.

I soaked in the hot spring for a while last night and slept with Ning Jianshuang. Nothing else happened.

In this era, it is normal for people of the same sex to sleep with their feet touching each other, and no one would think in that direction.

Even if there really is such a taboo relationship, there is a high probability that she will eventually get married, and...

Let me give you an example. When the Minister of Rites of the Southern Chu Dynasty was young, his wife took the initiative to help him take in a young, beautiful and petite concubine. The family was harmonious and peaceful. The wife and concubine never quarreled, but had a good relationship like sisters.

Later, the Minister of Rites went to Dingguo Temple because he was unable to have children. He met the eminent monk there. In consideration of the 10,000 taels of incense money, the abbot opened the Dharma image and gave him temporary telepathy, allowing him to communicate with people he had close contact with and feel what they were thinking.

At first, the Minister of Rites thought that his wives and concubines were competing for favor and someone had drugged whom. However, after listening to their inner thoughts, he realized that his wives and concubines had been a couple long before him, and he was the latecomer. The reason why he couldn't have children had nothing to do with them, but was entirely because the Minister of Rites himself was weak.

This kind of thing is a family disgrace that should not be made public. Generally, no one else would know about it, at most between three people, but that's where the problem lies.

The Minister of Rites could not accept the fact that he was cheated on by his concubine. He thought that his love for his wife was loyal and that the concubine married him because she admired him. However, he found out that it was all a scam. His wife was arranged by his family and the concubine was buy one get one free. This was a big blow to the young man who considered himself a talented and romantic man.

He couldn't help but ran out to get drunk, and also wrote some sad poems, which aroused the attention of the courtesan, and some friendship happened between the two of them... well, a friendship like Guan Yu and Bao Bao.

From this moment on, his telepathy went out of control. The courtesan found out about this. Although she didn't say anything, the courtesan had other patrons, and the news was accidentally leaked.

Within just three days, his telepathy and the rumor spread. By the time the abbot of Dingguo Temple realized it, it had already spread like a virus and caused many family conflicts.

The fire almost spread to the palace.

When the abbot of Dingguo Temple learned about this, his scalp went numb and he quickly withdrew the power of the Dharma image.

For the old abbot who has never been interested in women in his life, this way of spreading the virus among people really hit his blind spot. Although the restrictions were very strict, there was still a large-scale infection.

In the end, the Minister of Rites did have a child and continued to live with his wives and concubines, but the secret spread and became public.

The old minister is over fifty years old this year, and he still occasionally hears people talk about this matter.

but……

"After all, such things are rare and it is impossible for them to happen to me."

Jiang Lianxing put aside the unnecessary thoughts.

As soon as I entered the study of Weiyang Palace, I looked up and saw Jiang Wanyue sitting on a chair.

"Did you have fun last night?"

"Sister..." Jiang Lianxing waved her hand, signaling the maids to leave: "You're teasing me again."

"I deliberately left Bai Yueguang here for the night last night, but you didn't come back. You wasted a good opportunity."

"Sister, you're acting on your own again." Jiang Lianxing didn't appreciate it very much. Instead, she frowned slightly and said, "I don't want you to interfere in what's going on between him and me."

Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "My sister has really grown up. Doesn't she want to be controlled by her sister anymore?"

"You can't rush relationships." Jiang Lianxing said seriously, "I don't want to delay him either... He's eighteen now, and it's the time when his cultivation is making rapid progress. If he stays with me, won't he be locked up in the palace all day?"

In the past, the empress would have thought this made sense.

But after knowing the other party's identity as a time traveler, Jiang Wanyue felt that he was hiding it too well.

Not to mention being trapped in the palace for a lifetime, even if you lock him up in a dungeon, it will not affect his unlimited enjoyment of happiness in another world.

But when the words came to her lips, Jiang Wanyue felt unable to say them.

The one who cares about her sister is the empress, Jiang Wanyue.

But the person who spent a wonderful holiday and several days together on the other side was... Qin Xiaochan.

When Jiang Wanyue hesitated, she realized that she seemed to be divided into two identities.

From the moment she concealed her identity, her position became that of two people.

One is Jiang Lianxing's sister, the empress of Nanchu; the other is Qin Xiaochan who belongs to her alone.

The former can be selfless, philanthropic, noble and indifferent; the latter is the ego of a fifteen-year-old girl.

As an older sister, she wants to help her younger sister.

But as Qin Xiaochan, she didn't want to say it.

Don't want to share, don't want to tell, don't want to speak.

Who would be willing to share the cake that belongs only to them in the world?
Even if I say it, will it be a good thing?

Jiang Wanyue fell into silence for a rare moment.

When Jiang Lianxing saw her sister suddenly become quiet, she misunderstood and thought that she had spoken too harshly, so she slowed down her tone.

"I'm not blaming my sister, but...some things really shouldn't be rushed. This is the first time I've felt this way, but I don't want to be a burden to her."

Jiang Wanyue felt even more complicated after hearing this. "You can say that, it shows you really like her."

"I don't know either." Jiang Lianxing twirled her hair with her fingers. "This feeling is very strange."

She picked up a book: "It's written in the book."

Jiang Wanyue picked up the book...The Book of True Love?
She began to ask questions in the order of the book: "Do you have the urge to drive away all the women around him?"

"a little bit."

"Will you become restless and unable to calm down because you can't see each other?"

"A little bit."

Jiang Wanyue asked several more questions and received affirmative answers to all of them.

But the empress's expression became more and more strange.

Why are all these questions like boomerangs?
She would feel uncomfortable or even angry when she saw Bai Xuan getting too close to other women; she was also a little upset when she knew that the other party had left the palace but did not come to see her.

Is this considered love?
No, how is it possible...

Jiang Wanyuexin said that she and Bai Xuan had known each other for less than five days.

Even Lian Xing...

wrong.

She asked tentatively, "Lian Xing, when did you realize you liked each other?"

"Well, it was when the old lady of the Lu family gave me some pointers." Jiang Lianxing blushed a little. She couldn't adapt to this kind of topic and felt very uncomfortable under her sister's gaze.

"How long had you known each other?"

"Hmm... less than three days?"

Jiang Wanyue: “…”

Can't emotional issues be measured by time?
But for such a short time, isn't it a bit too frivolous?

She fell into deep thought, then slapped her thigh and sighed heavily.

Oh, I forgot that Lianxing is just like me, an idiot with no emotional experience... What's the point of studying a crappy book?

She threw the "True Love Guide" out the window and said, "Someone come!"

"Yes!"

"Find me the author of this book!"

The female official Xiao Yuru outside the door picked up the book and looked at the author's column - Love you for ten thousand years... The female official got goosebumps when she saw it.

"Your Majesty, what are you planning?"

"Find this author and give him a good beating! Send him to the hospital after that! I'll pay for his medicine!" The empress angrily said, "What kind of rubbish books does he write all day? He only causes trouble for the country!"

The female official lowered her head and said yes.

She couldn't understand how a book about love could cause trouble to the country?
Could it be that I have disturbed His Majesty's mind?

He deserves it.

"Sister, don't be angry."

"I'm not angry, I just..." Jiang Wanyue didn't know where to start.

"By the way, didn't you meet him yesterday? Tell me, what's your impression of him?" Jiang Lianxing sat down and picked up a pen and paper. "I'd also like to hear your opinion of him."

"He..." Jiang Wanyue thought back to the past few days and commented, "If one is too upright, he will be pedantic; if one is too straightforward, he will be clumsy. Therefore, even a pedantic and clumsy person can still be upright."

"Upright but pedantic?" Jiang Lianxing didn't understand why her sister made such an evaluation. In her opinion, Bai Xuan's ideological realm was too progressive.

"That's right. He doesn't even dare to kill people." Jiang Wanyue still remembered that group of human traffickers. They should have been killed directly. If they were alive, they would only increase the price of rice.

Jiang Lianxing typed a question mark: "?"

She still remembered how many people Bai Xuan had killed along the way. The blood flowed like a river. Even the dogs of Northern Zhou who passed by were struck by a sword...

Is this what you call not daring to kill people?
She is worthy of being the sister who massacred the capital!

Jiang Lianxing stood in awe.

There was a deviation in the cognition of the two sisters.

In other words, they all saw one side of Bai Xuan, but not the other side and more sides.

Therefore, these perceptions are one-sided.

"Okay, I'm going back now. I won't disturb you from handling government affairs."

Before leaving Weiyang Palace, Jiang Wanyue stopped and looked back at her sister who was smiling as she missed her lover.

A feeling of bitterness and guilt inevitably flowed into my heart.

She finally kept it all to herself.

"I'm sorry, Lianxing."

"Hmm?" Jiang Lianxing looked at her sister, thinking she was talking about handling government affairs on her behalf, so she smiled and said, "Sister, you don't have to apologize to me."

Jiang Wanyue left Weiyang Palace with mixed feelings.

Guilt is growing.

And she felt a little happy about having successfully concealed it, it was really...

"I must be ill," she said, "and ask Madam Situ, the daughter-in-law of the great doctor Ouyang, to come to the palace."

……

Until a long time later.

Only then would Jiang Lianxing understand what kind of mood her sister's abrupt apology today came from and what kind of subtext it had.

The answer she gave then was exactly the same as her answer today.

"You don't have to apologize to me, sister."

"so……"

"I won't have to apologize to you in the future!"
