The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 545 Warm Night ([-])

Thinking of this deep palace, there are many people who have given me warmth, but the one who has completely made me feel at ease from the inside out. He used to be the emperor, but now there is only this informal, even a bit airtight man left in front of him.

It's not that she doesn't understand her own heart, it's just that she doesn't want to face it.

She deeply understands that her heart, such a will, is not ethical, and will harm herself and others.

So he quickly calmed down, and changed the subject: "My lord has passed his thirties, why are you still not married?"

Shen Ye put the wine gourd aside, and couldn't help laughing: "There are one or two people in my heart, and when I look at others in the future, I can't see them."

Wanna turned her head away, avoiding Shen Ye's gaze: "The first-class bodyguard in front of the imperial court has a lot of money every month, does your lord buy a house outside the palace?"

"To the southwest of the capital is my grandfather's former residence. Fortunately, my grandfather was not involved in the downfall of the family. After his death, the former residence has been vacant. The humble minister moved out when he was young, and occasionally went out of the palace to live somewhere. Although not It's spacious, and it's always heart-warming. The magnolia magnolias are planted in front of the door, and when it blooms in midsummer, it's also the time when I linger outside the palace the most."

Wannai couldn't help but feel her heart tighten when she heard him laughing loudly.

How could she not understand Shen Ye's intentions?It's just that they are unwilling to each other, and they can't tell the truth.

If it is said that love comes from a young age, then since entering the palace, Shen Ye has guarded her for nearly twenty years.

Shen Ye didn't show up when she was watching her gaining the emperor's favor, didn't show up when she was watching her skyrocketing, and didn't show up when she was happy when she got a son.

For these seemingly happy things, the people who accompany me are all emperors.

But when he was wronged and imprisoned, it was Shen Ye who helped him again and again; when he was framed by others, it was Shen Ye who planned a lot; when he was assassinated, it was Shen Ye who sacrificed his life to save him.
There are countless of these.

Only then did she realize that she had been immersed in the palace for all these years, and she had been facing the people she would never leave, except for the caring servant girl and Lin Lan, Shen Ye was the only one.

It was also she who encouraged her to cheer up countless times when she was desperate, and helped her get back up step by step when she had nothing.

He has done a lot, but what has he gained?
It was just a glance at him from a distance.

There was an unstoppable feeling in her heart, she suffered so much in this palace, and at this moment she even had a terrible thought, she wanted Shen Ye to take her away, to take her away from such a treacherous world. Purgatory on earth.

But also just think.

"Actually, if your lord has a woman you like, I can ask the emperor to give you a marriage. It is always important for a man to start a family and start a career. It will be delayed by coming and going, and it will inevitably cause people to gossip."

Shen Ye waved his hand disapprovingly: "How can the world's common sayings catch your ears? I know what I'm doing in my heart, and I'm doing it happily, and enjoying it comfortably, that's enough." He hesitated for a while, and suddenly smiled heartily He said: "There is no rule in the Qing Dynasty that stipulates when a man will be beheaded if he is not married? And the empress looks at those people outside the palace. Even if she gets married, there is a paper to send the wife back to her mother's house. Harming others and harming oneself is something that humble ministers cannot do."

Wan Yu was silent for a while, and said: "If the person you are waiting for never comes to fruition, will you not regret it?"

"What do you regret? Many things in this world are futile. The most important thing is to know how to enjoy the process. If everything you ask for can have a result, don't all those who are greedy for money become rich? People who are addicted to wine and sex Didn’t everyone become Yin Zhou? Didn’t all those who seek fame and wealth become emperors?”

After this sentence, the wind suddenly picked up, Shen Ye took his black shawl and put it on Wan Yu without even thinking about it: "The winter night is cold, the lady is sick and should not be exposed to the wind, I'd better go back to the palace earlier."

Wan Yu put her hands on the shawl that was covered with the warmth of the night, and said with a bewildered smile: "My lord's words don't make sense. If many things are known early in the morning and have no results, you should look back at the right time, you may not be sure." There are better landscapes waiting for me."

Shen Ye's eyes were clear and gentle: "The scene in front of me has already made me linger, since I forget to return, why do I need to look back?"

His low voice lingered in Wanyu's ears, and Wanyu wanted to persuade her again, but only heard Shuangruo's ethereal voice from a distance: "Why are you here, Your Majesty? It's easy to find a servant."

She hastily stepped forward, intending to put the snow fox cloak on Wanyu, but seeing the black shawl on Wanyu's shoulders, she was a little embarrassed for a moment: "Your Majesty." She glanced at Shen Ye nervously, and took the shawl off decisively. Passed it to his hands: "Please trouble your lord to take care of your majesty on behalf of your slaves. Tonight's New Year's Eve, your majesty will be alone with you, which may cause criticism. Please go back and rest earlier."

Shuangruo's tone was extremely blunt, Shen Ye waved his hands disapprovingly, bowed to Wanyu and left.

Wan Yu looked at his tall and straight back, and sighed silently: "Shuang Ruo, even you can see it, right?"

Shuangruo has always been cautious in dealing with things, she put on a snow fox cloak for Wanyu and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I can't see what's going on. I only know that the imperial concubine is looking at us now, and I'm afraid I can't find anything wrong. "

Wan Yu shook her head and said in a low voice: "Yes, what I am guarding against every day is the Jinlan sisters who walked side by side with me in the past. The one I fear every day is the young man who used to be in love with me."

She got up, and with Shuangruo's support, she walked towards Changchun Palace with difficulty: "Shuangruo, I'm very tired."

Shuang Ruo didn't say a word, she just supported Wan Yu's hand and exerted a little force to show her response.

After returning to the palace that day, in the middle of the night Yunxi kept crying, and Wanyu stayed with her all night in the dormitory alone.

There is always a delicate connection between the child and the mother, no matter how violent she is, as long as she lies in Wanyu's arms, she will calm down immediately.

Wannai stood in front of the window, looking at the misty night, seemed to be talking to herself, seemed to be chatting with Yunxi, and said with a smile: "You grow up really fast. I remember when your elder brother was a few months old, he was still a little one." , not like you, Erniang is sore and tired from holding her arms."

"Actually, Er Niang hopes that you will grow up slowly and stay by Er Niang's side all the time, so that Er Niang can always protect you."

"What kind of family will you marry in the future? Your emperor Ama will marry you to a worthy prince and nobleman. Since you were born, you have also decided that you will not live in a life where ordinary people live in tight clothes."

"Your Huang Ama loves you so much, she will definitely not allow you to be a concubine. If you are a regular wife, you will suffer less."

"Er Niang hopes that you will have a life of worry-free life, and I also hope that your brother will have a life of worry-free life. Er Niang has been trapped in the splendor of jewels and gems all her life, and she only hopes that you and your brother can live a much more carefree life than Er Niang."

"But no matter what, Er Niang must be happy for you."

"At least in your life, you don't need to marry into the emperor's family."

The Forbidden City is frozen in the harsh winter, but such a coldness will eventually pass.
