Lady Changning

Chapter 187 I'll Pick You Up (2)

"Don't try to recognize him, Huangfu Shenqian will take good care of you for you." In the end Xuanjing could only compromise.

But I didn't forget to remind Xi Changning that Huangfu Zimian must never recognize each other, and the rest can only go with her.

"I think I really miss him, I just don't know what that feels like anymore."

She knows exactly who she loves and who she thinks about, but she is sick and numb and devoid of any emotion.She doesn't even know how to express what she hates and what she likes.

"Take good care of yourself."

Xuan Jing comforted the tearful Mingyu over and over again, and comforted the same Xi Changning over and over again.Feeling helpless, whose misfortune is this?

Before Xi Changning was about to leave, he went to Taoist Master Tianxuan, wondering if he already knew about her decision and refused to see her. Only Zimian's elder brother, her master, felt sorry for her.

"Don't blame my master, you and Zimian have become such a situation, the master blames himself very much, he didn't stop Zimian at the beginning."

Master told Xi Changning all this in the hope that she would not blame Taoist Tianxuan.

"The world is unpredictable, let Master worry about it."

"The reason why he doesn't want to see you is because he knows about your plan to return to Beijing. You don't need to say much to understand."

Xi Changning glanced at Master and nodded to show his understanding.No one expected to come to this step, Taoist Master Tianxuan had already helped them a lot.

She knelt down and bowed to the door of Master and Taoist Tianxuan, and said nothing more in words.But she has one thing on her mind, which is light, and she is somewhat worried about leaving him in Hengshan Village.

She will be pulled out by the light that used to be behind her, and pushed in front of Master.Even if she didn't speak, the master knew what she meant, and waved to Guang.

"Don't worry, I will take care of the child."

Xi Changning had listened to his master's complaints for two years in the ice coffin. He was indeed the kind of person with a little vanity, but he was not a bad person. She had heard a lot about him, so she felt relieved to just follow him.

Randomly she left Hengshan without looking back, at the foot of the mountain was Huangfu Shenqian waiting for her, his anxious eyes seemed to think that she would never appear in front of him again, that she had regretted it.

"Let's go."

"Wait a minute, Changning, are you really willing to follow me?"

"As long as you give me enough status, I will not be a concubine, and I will go with you."

There was no expression on Xi Changning's face, he was even more indifferent than when he first saw her, but he didn't seem to care about it when it came to feelings.

"I won't let you be a concubine, the position of the main room is always reserved for you."

Xi Changning looked at him in confusion, not because she didn't understand the meaning, but because she knew that Huangfu Shenqian had no intention of letting her and Huangfu Zimian go from the beginning to the end.

Maybe he didn't come to disturb their lives for peace of mind, but in other words, he was waiting for Huangfu Zimian to die before coming to her.

Either way, he succeeded.Huangfu Zimian did not die, he tried every means to make up for it, and she was willing to go back with him, all of this came true according to his wishes.

Xi Changning ignored it, and got into his gorgeous brocade chariot by himself, but found something familiar to him in the car, a guqin.She stroked back and forth.

"This is from Xuan Jing."

Xi Changning held the guqin in her arms, which was given by Huangfu Zimian. When they returned to Hengshan Village again, she found that he had preserved the guqin so well, and she was still excited for a long time.

It's just that things are different now, and only this piano still retains his feelings for her.

capital city, imperial palace

The entire palace was very restless, because no one knew about the emperor's travels.He just brought a pair of personal guards, and even his confidant Yan Xiufeng didn't know about it, which was incredible.

A guard who went out with the emperor suddenly came back and reported that the emperor had returned to Beijing, and there was an extra woman beside him, saying that this woman was about to become a queen.

This not only made the court feel uneasy, but also the women in the harem.Since the emperor took office, he did not immediately fill the harem. The only one who could take care of things was Concubine Hua, Xi Lingyan.

Now a queen is brought back immediately after going out, which makes people wonder who this woman is.

Only Xi Lingyan felt that her premonition was very bad. Originally, she asked her father to unite with others, but the emperor let her sit on the queen's position smoothly. Now it seems that there is a strong enemy, and why does this enemy feel so familiar? ?
"Haha, you girl has tasted the bitter fruit now. You really married a good husband."

The empress dowager, who was also the former empress dowager, laughed.Now she has been deprived of a lot of rights by the emperor, and her people in the court are changed again and again. She had to stop some movements and stop with silence. Unexpectedly, this silence lasted for two years.

She saw Xi Lingyan's thoughts clearly, and it was just a false refuge, in order to help the emperor bring down her.

"The empress dowager doesn't need to ridicule the concubine, the concubine knows what to do?"

The current queen mother will not help her. She is devoted to taking care of the little prince, and has already stopped asking about these things.And the reason why she came to find the Empress Dowager was to hope that she and Xi Jian would play together and let her be the queen.After all, that wild woman may not be able to compare with her.

However, Xi Jian and the Empress Dowager have been very unhappy since the matter of Xi Lin and Princess Jing, and Xi Jian is determined to assist the emperor, and it takes a little effort for them to join forces.

"If you knew, you would still come to Bengong? Didn't you just come to Bengong for help?"

"Since the empress dowager understands..." Xi Lingyan had no choice but to give in.

"You girl is too smart, I won't help you. Stop your thoughts as soon as possible. If you have the time, think about who that woman will be."

The reason why the Empress Dowager said that was because she had talked to the guard early in the morning, and she had the answer in her heart.Since it's her, let her come back, it's better to make a mess, see how the emperor still manages the court?Look at how those people who plotted against her still fight her, it is best for both sides to suffer, and she will reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Xi Lingyan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't believe that the Empress Dowager was so decisive. If she didn't even help her, who else could she find to help her.Thinking about how this huge palace couldn't find a trustworthy person.

"Chen and concubine retire."

Huangfu Shenqian took pity on Xi Changning's body, after all he was seriously ill, so he cooperated with Xi Changning to stop and go along the way, and took good care of Xi Changning.

Xi Changning looked at him mercilessly. He didn't know the real condition of her body, and she didn't know how long she could live. Seeing him so careful, she could only treat him indifferently.

"We can go to the capital today, and someone will pick us up. You may have some gossip because of your special status, can you think about it?"

I don't know if he was worried that Xi Changning would not be able to stand other people's words, so he kept asking the same question.

Xi Changning glanced at him, then looked out the car window, they had already entered the gate of the capital unknowingly, the street market didn't change much, it was still so lively, nothing changed, it became just people.

"Feng Qiuhuang." Xi Changning suddenly spit out these three words.

Huangfu Shenqian didn't know that Fengqiuhuang was Huangfu Zimian's shop, and outsiders only knew that it belonged to the Xuan family.As soon as he heard that Xi Changning was interested, he immediately told people to stop.

He got out of the carriage first, and then helped the skinny Xi Changning out of the carriage. A red dress seemed to be hanging on her body, and she could be blown away when the wind blew.

She walked into Fengqiuhuang with floating steps, nothing had changed, the faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus was still in the air.She found a seat and sat down, and Xiao Er immediately stepped forward when the distinguished guest came.

"What do you want, sir?"

"Osmanthus brewed."

Xiao Er was puzzled and scratched his head.

"Miss, our stock of sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing has been sold out this season, why don't you order something else."

She glanced at the clerk, and nodded her agreement after a while. The clerk felt very inexplicable, and bluffed when she went to the counter.

"Miss who doesn't know where she came from, I'm still waiting to drink sweet-scented osmanthus brew this season."

An old man who was fiddling with things heard about it, followed the gaze of the waiter in the shop, and was surprised that it was her.

"Go and get the son's sweet-scented osmanthus brew."

"The shopkeeper, it belongs to the son, so we don't want to touch it." Xiaoer looked at the shopkeeper in surprise.

"Go and get it. The young master said that the young master will not come back. That girl is destined for the young master."

The waiter ran to the wine cellar in the backyard to get the sweet-scented osmanthus wine that had been stored for a long time. There was still a wooden sign on the wine jar, and he handed it to the shopkeeper to greet other guests.

The shopkeeper put the wine jar on Xi Changning's table, looking at the skinny girl, he seemed to be more indifferent than before, and he didn't know what had happened.

"I just heard that Miss asked for sweet-scented osmanthus wine. I sealed it up and hope you don't dislike it."

After finishing speaking, he opened the wine seal, and immediately the whole store was filled with fragrance, Xi Changning felt the corners of his eyes moist for some reason.She touched the wooden sign on the wine jar. Although it was not the same one as before, she was still so familiar with it.

The other hand couldn't help touching her waist, only to remember that the real purple dragon wooden plaque she had given to Huangfu Zimian when she married Huangfu Zimian, and the one beside her was just given to her later by Huangfu Zimian that piece.

Only then did Huangfu Shenqian realize that Xi Changning seemed to be looking for some memories here, but the expression on her face remained unchanged from the beginning to the end, so he couldn't tell what Xi Changning was looking at.

Xi Changning stopped drinking after taking a sip, and she was in a daze again, unable to find anything that would interest her.Seeing her lack of interest, Huangfu Shenqian paid the money and started on his way again.

Before leaving, the old man gave all the remaining sweet-scented osmanthus wine to Xi Changning. As soon as he was old, he could tell who had a story and who didn't. As for Xi Changning, he must be someone with important affairs.

Xi Changning didn't thank you or say anything, but just accepted it silently.But the hands are tightly grasped.
