Empress Fenghua

Chapter 30
The palace lanterns are prosperous, illuminating the night as if it were day.In Princess Xinyang's dormitory, everyone returned to the room in twos and threes, but no one must be able to sleep peacefully.

Hua Zhong and Xue Wuhen flew around the guards, carefully moving around in the dark under the night.After a while, he came to the lake next to Fangfei Pavilion, Hua Zhong took off his veil, and looked at Xue Wuhen with a frown.

"Why did you bring me here?" Hua Zhong whispered, "Xinyang martial law Lingshan, you are really brave."

Xue Wuhen smiled contemptuously, "How can her crooked melons and split dates stop this young master? There are still many good shows tonight! Who do you see over there?"

Hua Zhong hid in the dark, looking at Princess Xinyang standing under the brilliant palace lantern not far away, and there were soldiers holding boats in the lake.Princess Xinyang frowned and stared at the lake, her eyes constantly scanning the lake.

"What is she looking for?" Hua Zhong couldn't help being puzzled, "Is she looking for Yongjia's lantern?"

"Yongjia? Huh! We haven't seen each other for a few days, when did the relationship with His Highness the Ninth Prince develop so rapidly?" Xue Wuhen seemed sullen and disdainful in his eyes.

Hua Zhong glanced at Xue Wuhen, then continued to look in the direction of Princess Xinyang. "Between Yongjia and me..." Hua Zhong thought for a moment, then said, "You don't understand!"

Hua Zhong was in a mess, why should he explain the matter between himself and Ye Yongjia to Xue Wuhen?It's just to use each other, Xue Wuhen's scheming is deep, and his intentions are unclear, otherwise, how can he be called "the head of the five sages of the world"?
"This young master seems to have missed a lot! Don't understand? Hmph! Then this young master will ask His Highness the Ninth Prince if he understands if he has the chance!" is annoyed.

I saw that the soldiers got off the small boat and knelt on the ground to report something to Princess Xinyang.Princess Xinyang scolded angrily, "Idiots! I can't even find a single lantern, so what is the use of you?"

The soldier said anxiously, "Your Highness, it is really hard to find a nameless lantern on such a large lake. What's more, there are still lotus flowers in the lake. If it floats between the lotus leaves and the candle is extinguished, it may be even more difficult to find." I found it! Please forgive me, Your Highness the Princess!"

"Go away! I will go find it myself!" Princess Xinyang boarded the boat and ordered people to paddle.

"It's strange to say that if Princess Xinyang really wants to know what is written on His Highness the Ninth Highness's lantern, she can just ask His Highness Ninth Highness directly. Why do you have to find His Highness Ninth Highness's lantern by yourself? What secrets are hidden between their brothers and sisters?" Xue Wuhen muttered to himself.

Hua Zhong frowned and looked at Princess Xinyang and Zai on the lake, holding a bamboo pole and fiddled with the lanterns, disappointed again and again.After a long while, Princess Xinyang suddenly became happy, and quickly picked up a lamp from the lake.

"Yongjia is such a lantern! I saw it before he came! It's this kind!" Princess Xinyang quickly picked it up to find Huaxin, then frowned, "This is not Yongjia's, this is not Yongjia's handwriting!"

Hua Chong frowned, "That's mine!" Seeing Princess Xinyang frowning and looking at the lamp, Hua Chong couldn't see the expression in her eyes clearly, but felt that Princess Xinyang was a little cold all over.

"You use the same lantern as His Highness the Ninth Prince?" Xue Wuhen asked with raised eyebrows.

Hua Dian nodded, "I didn't know that I was going to put a lantern today, so I didn't prepare it. Yongjia lent it to me."

After another half day, it was already dawn.Princess Xinyang cheerfully picked up a lantern, Hua Zhong couldn't help being nervous, "That's Yongjia's!"

I saw Princess Xinyang looking at the handwriting on it, the elation and affection just now were completely condensed on her face, and she collapsed bit by bit.Like a child, happy at times and sad at other times, is Yongjia's heart really that important to the ruthless Princess Xinyang?Can let her live, can let her die?The doubts surging in Hua Zhong's heart seemed to gradually become clear, but it was extremely confusing...

There seemed to be tears in Princess Xinyang's eyes, she raised the lantern with both hands, and slammed it into the water.Trembling all over, extremely angry!

Xue Wuhen couldn't help but gasped, frowned and asked Hua Zhong, "What did His Royal Highness write on the lantern?"

"You also find it strange, don't you?" Hua Zhong's tone was extremely light, ethereal and silent, as if his strength had been taken away.

Princess Xinyang returned to the shore, with red eyes, she saw Xiao Suo standing under the dawn.It's Ye Yongjia!
The gentle and watery Yongjia stared deeply at Xinyang, walked in slowly, and raised his hand to Xinyang's shoulder.

"Xinyang..."

"Go away!"

Princess Xinyang scolded angrily.

Yongjia shook his head sadly and helplessly, "The ups and downs of the past are fleeting. You know it's impossible, so why bother to be persistent?"

Princess Xinyang snorted coldly, "You only know that the ups and downs of the past are like passing clouds, but you don't know the unbearable look back after the lights are dimmed. How can you, who can shine brightly even if you are silent, understand the loneliness and sadness in my heart? I stand in front of everyone. In the eyes, there is ridicule, contempt, fear, pity... I have been through all of this, but I look at you silently in the midst of all of this. Do you know that under the surface of prosperity, I suffer day and night, and suffer from the pangs of conscience day and night? condemn?!"

Yongjia's hand on Princess Xinyang's shoulder slipped down, as if he had lost all strength, and his water-like warm eyes dimmed. "We all understand your suffering. However, some things are preordained in this life, and fate cannot be changed."

"There are countless flowers in the sea, and the flowing water and high mountains are self-aware." Princess Xinyang sneered, "In this world full of temptations, there are so many delicate flowers, which one does His Royal Highness know in his heart? Since I am in pain, I How can I please someone who makes me miserable?"

"Xinyang..." Yongjia was helpless.

I saw Princess Xinyang took two steps back, and solemnly performed the palace salute, "Sister-in-law leave!"

Hua Zhong looked at the lonely figure of Yongjia who was left alone by the lake, and repeated that line of poetry in his heart.What exactly does that mean?
Xue Wuhen frowned and looked at Hua Zhong, "What did His Royal Highness write on the lantern?"

Hua Zhong looked at Xue Wuhen from the side, and said, "There are countless flowers in the ocean according to the sky, and the high mountain in the flowing water knows it by itself. I don't know why this sentence makes Princess Xinyang so angry!"

"When you are in a high place, you will find that there are many very beautiful and outstanding flowers. You will find that there are many people in the world who are better than me. High mountains and flowing water are related, but they can only rub shoulders if they are impatient with each other. But, because we both know that we can't get along for a long time. Could it be that His Royal Highness means that even though he intends to seize the heir, he also knows that Princess Xinyang has affection for him, but even if he becomes the emperor and faces such troubled times, There is still no good ending?" Xue Wuhen guessed the meaning, "Could it be that His Royal Highness has no intention of competing for the throne? He used this to persuade the princess? Is that so..."

According to the written meaning, that was indeed the case, but Xue Wuhen always felt something was wrong in her heart.

When Hua Chong returned to the room, Gu Shuangcheng had already got up. Seeing Hua Chong come back, he asked with a smile, "Where are you going? It's so early! You have to hunt later, get ready to change!"

Hua Zhong didn't seem to hear Gu Shuangcheng's words, and sat at the table frowning.

"Sister Chong'er! What's wrong with you? Why are you in a daze?" Gu Shuangcheng stepped forward and gently pushed Hua Chong.

Hua Zhong murmured, "There are countless flowers in the sea, and the flowing water is high and the mountains are self-aware. Sister Shuangcheng, do you know what this means?" Hua Zhong raised his eyes to look at Gu Shuangcheng, his eyes full of hope.

Gu Shuangcheng chuckled, "But who said that to Sister Chong'er? Then Sister Chong'er needs to work harder!"

Hua Zhong asked puzzledly, "Sister Shuangcheng, what is the meaning of this? Why do you work harder?"

Gu Shuangcheng took Hua Zhong's hand and asked, "Let me ask you, who said this to you?"

Hua Zhong was puzzled, but he couldn't explain clearly, so he could only lie and say, "It's Young Master Xue!"

"That's no wonder!" Gu Shuangcheng's expression became more indifferent, and his smile was faint, "Young master Xue is a dragon and phoenix, a man who is unparalleled in the world. Maybe he wants to reject you, Chong'er, just according to the fact that he personally admitted you as his fiancee last night." Judging from the situation, it shouldn’t be.”

Gu Shuangcheng looked at Hua Zhong's puzzled eyes, and said earnestly, "The meaning of this sentence is: When you stand on a high place, you will find that there are many people who are better than me, so why do you stick to me? I don’t need to talk about the fact that we can’t be together! Everyone agrees, I appreciate your affection.” Gu Shuangcheng sighed, “I think, Young Master Xue used these words to politely reject you.”

Hua Zhong thought about what Xue Wuhen understood, the throne and feelings, the Ninth Highness's pun, is it just to remind Princess Xinyang to give up?So, there is only one shocking secret in the hearts of the two of them!That is - Princess Xinyang admires Ye Yongjia!
