Palace Scheming: the Queen In the Cold Palace I

Chapter 58: Two-phase love and aloofness (1)

His eyes suddenly dropped, and when he strode past him, he clenched the pen in his hand involuntarily, and his heart was slightly lost.

However, she did not raise her head to respond to him until he reached the palace door. When he paused and turned his head, he still saw her calmly lowering her head to do her work.

"Queen, remember to be on time for the banquet tonight. I'll be waiting for you at the Chenghe Hall." With a flick of his sleeves, he dropped these words coldly, then turned around and left.

The hall was so quiet for a moment that it seemed as if there was no one there. Only his voice before leaving echoed in Yunqing's ears with some solemnity.

“Queen, remember to arrive on time for the banquet tonight. I’ll be waiting for you at the Chenghe Hall.”

Queen, I…

 These two titles that he had deliberately ignored were once again spoken in such a strong tone, and her heart suddenly trembled slightly.

She almost forgot that no matter how warm and smiling he was around her, no matter how softly he spoke to her, she would always be his queen, the one in charge of the harem for him, and share it with all the women in the harem. His woman.

Whether she admits it or not, whether she accepts it or not, her subconscious has already recognized this fact.

 That's why she kept pestering him, from being repelled to ignoring him at the beginning, to gradually getting used to it...

"My Yun'er, call me Ze from now on! The Ze that only belongs to Yun'er!" At that moment, he deceived the blue sky and white clouds, the galloping horses and the wind, and the person behind him, but he could not deceive his own heart.

She thought it was just because the sky was too blue that day, the wind was too warm, and the scenery was too beautiful.

She thought it was just an unreal illusion...

But the heartbeat at that moment, the blush at that moment, the moment she leaned into his arms and heard his equally rapid heartbeat... She couldn't help but find that she no longer disliked and rejected him, and gradually let him come into her. heart of.

 She has worked hard for so long, but she is determined not to let her heart fall for him. However, since when did she get used to the habits he brought to her, and she got used to him only calling "you and me" in front of her.

“Well, as long as I’m here, won’t Yun’er be able to concentrate on her work?”

“It seems like you just want to drive me away?”

 Her inability to rest, her deliberate neglect, why does it look so pale in retrospect at this moment? Why didn't she look straight at him and tell him: "Yes!" like she did before?

My heart suddenly clenched tightly. She looked at the book on the table in a daze, trying hard to see the writing on it, but all she saw was pitch black, and all the words were connected together, making it impossible to distinguish them.

"Then what will it take for you to love me?" As if in a nightmare, his words came out uncontrollably again on the night she fell ill, making her heart ache, and she couldn't help but reach out to touch her heart.

How To? How To? Who will tell her how she can stop thinking about anything about him.

 Love, what qualifications does he have to express love?

 What is the measure of his love? How long can his love last?

 He is a king, he is a man who has countless women, he is a king of a country who is destined to be unkind to women! He was someone she shouldn't be tempted by.

 But, he was obviously heartless and unloving, so why did he bother to provoke her?

She originally wanted to live her life peacefully and be an ordinary woman in this harem that she could not escape from. She just wanted to be in peace with the people around her and not get into the intrigues of the harem...

 “Alas!” His white hair is three thousand feet tall, and his fate is as long as his head.

If she is firm, how can she move lightly no matter how much he pesters her?

 Everything, I just blame myself for not being seduced by his gentleness, and for not taking his occasional tenderness as his true nature.

 Even if he really has feelings, it is a feeling that cannot last long! If she wants not to be hurt or sad, the first thing she has to do is not to be tempted.

Sighing softly, Yun Qing closed her eyes a little tiredly, letting her heart no longer clenched so tightly.

 When I opened it again, although it was no longer clear, I suppressed the worries in my heart and tried not to think too much.

The night lights gradually turned on, and the four-cornered lanterns on the eaves of Zhuhua Palace swayed in the wind. When the bright yellow figure walked out of Zhuhua Palace, Chang Le felt that the emperor's figure contrasted with the bright lanterns in the wind, making him look lonely. Desolate.

It is understandable that the emperor seemed to be in a bad mood when he came out of the Queen's Palace, but why did the emperor seem to be in a worse mood when he came out of the Hua Concubine's Palace?

  What is it about Concubine Hua looking for the emperor? And what happened between her and the emperor?

Seeing that the emperor was silent, he did not dare to ask any more questions. He followed the emperor step by step and walked quickly towards the Liangyi Palace.

While Chang Le was walking with his head down, the person in front of him suddenly stopped. He raised his head in surprise and saw the Queen walking towards this side from the east path together with several palace attendants from the Golden Phoenix Palace. . "Your Majesty, the Queen is over there."

In response to Chang Le's slow reminder, Xuanyuan Ze's heart tightened and he stared at the beautiful woman walking towards him. The bright red phoenix robe deeply touched his eyes. He stepped forward and walked towards Go to the middle of the road she must pass and stand there quietly.

Yunqing also saw the handsome man who had just come out of Zhuhua Palace. It seemed that he had been staying in Concubine Hua Palace.

However, she didn't expect that he came out alone and Concubine Hua was not by his side!

 “Yun Qing gives your regards to the Emperor! Good luck to the Emperor!” Walking gently in front of him, Yun Qing bowed slightly and gave Xuanyuan Ze a faint salute.

Then, under his silent gaze, she quietly waited for him to say something to excuse her.

 A lot can be changed in half a day, and a lot can be figured out in half a day. This afternoon, Yun Qing understood her own heart and clearly made a rule for herself to get along with him.

She decided that no matter whether he was happy or angry, affectionate or ruthless, she would remain respectful with him. Just like before, he was his emperor and she was his queen in name only.

She will not have too much involvement with him. As long as she remains indifferent and respectful to him as before, he will be disappointed in himself just like this afternoon, and thus he will also be indifferent to himself for the temporary feeling. Heart.

Quietly staring at the silver boots that neither left nor moved, Yunqing saw that the red emeralds inlaid on them were as bright as the emeralds, reflecting the gleaming light under the lanterns carried by the palace people around them.

"Let's go!" After a while, just when Yun Qing couldn't help but want to raise his head to see what the man was doing, Xuanyuan Ze's silver boots finally took a step forward, followed by Yun Qing's wrist, and his hand was already tight He grabbed her wrist tightly.

"Yes!" Yun Qing was about to resist, but suddenly she heard a soft sigh from him, which made her slightly startled, and she was already pulled forward by him.

His sigh was full of frustration and deep sadness, which made Yun Qing's heart tighten. She wondered what he was sighing about. Seeing that Concubine Hua did not go to the dinner party with him today, could it be that his loss was related to Concubine Hua?

"Sister Concubine Hua..." Her heart tightened inexplicably. She was annoyed that she was thinking too much about him again. As soon as she spoke, she was interrupted by Xuanyuan Ze: "She is not feeling well, so she won't go."

"Oh!" Although Yun Qing was a little surprised to hear him express his thoughts, he was still sure that the reason why he was so depressed must be related to his meeting with Concubine Hua today.

 It seems that he is worried about Concubine Hua's health and is in a depressed mood. In that case, he is not entirely so ruthless towards Concubine Hua.

When the emperor and empress appeared together in the Chenghe Hall, the ministers had already sat on their respective seats under Ling Ge's arrangement to wait for the emperor's arrival.

Everyone gathered around today's important figure Li Qinglan and several officials and imperial doctors who were sent to the disaster area, and congratulated these people on their return. Xuanyuan Ze also swept away the gloomy look he had shown when he arrived. He drank and chatted loudly with the ministers, and seemed to be in high spirits.

But Yun Qing found that he didn't move his chopsticks at all, he was trying to be happy. Even his constant drinking and his willingness to refuse toasts from his courtiers showed her that he was actually in a very bad mood.

 Because as an emperor, he has his own helplessness. No matter how upset he is, he cannot express his emotions as he wants on such occasions.

 “Well, your Majesty, why don’t you drink a little less?” As soon as the song ended, all the ministers began to toast to the Emperor in a very warm atmosphere. Inevitably, Yun Qing had to take a few sips less, but Xuanyuan Ze next to him was smiling all over his face, never getting drunk after a thousand cups.

She didn't know how much he drank. It seemed that he had drank like this at several banquets before. But she has never skipped a bite of food. She knows that drinking on an empty stomach is not only harmful to the body, but also makes you drunk easily even if you have a good drinking capacity.

"Are you concerned about me?" Xuanyuan Ze turned his head coldly upon hearing this, looking into Yun Qing's concerned eyes, his heart could not help but pity him. She was so kind, she was so beautiful, but she allowed Wan'er to hurt her again and again, and watched her sad in a place where others could not see her.

  She is so smart, she has already known Wan'er's schemes, but tolerates her again and again.

Even after she was cold to Wan'er, she still complained about her ruthlessness and was angry at her indifference to Wan'er.

 Yunqing, she is so kind and so rational.

 She hopes that she can be kind and righteous, and she hopes that she can be an emperor who satisfies all the women in the harem! However, did she know that when his heart was already filled with her, how could he tolerate other women?

 In fact, today Wan'er took the initiative to find her and confessed all the harm and provocation she had done to Yun Qing before.

She confessed to herself, asking him to punish her, and asked if she could not ask him to forgive her for the sake of the child, as long as he came to visit her and the child in her belly often...

It was only today that he realized that Wan'er's transformation was actually caused by him.

She said, deep love brings deep responsibility. She loved him and loved him deeply, so she only developed hatred after feeling that another woman was causing trouble in his heart.

She said that she couldn't bear to hurt him, whom she loved, so she irrationally wanted to get rid of the woman who intervened between them, so step by step, she became a woman that he hated and even hated.

 She was sad, she was sad, and she tried to change herself after getting pregnant in order to regain his love! However, she found that it was too late...

 At that moment, his heart was heavy.

He nodded slightly, Yun Qing did not lie to him.

His appearance did make her a little worried. In front of the courtiers, he needed to pretend to be a king and be high-spirited. Only when others are not paying attention can his unhappiness be truly revealed.

He actually made her feel a little distressed! Deep down in my heart, I still hope to see him smiling cheerfully and laughing cheerfully, making people feel happy.

"Yun'er, am I really going too far?" Seeing her nodding seriously, he couldn't help but eagerly grabbed her hand, wanting to know her opinion and wanting her to give him some comfort.

 He was really in pain, he had fallen deeply in love with her, and he could no longer love anyone else.

 But Wan'er, she was so sad because of herself, and what she had done, how should he face it?

 My heart clenched slightly when I looked at his extremely remorseful eyes.

His Yun'er voice didn't make her feel any more tender than the Queen's voice. Instead, it made her feel very disgusted.

 She wanted to pull out her hand unnaturally, but saw more sadness filling his eyes, as if she was delaying his heart inch by inch, causing him pain.

"Do you mean Concubine Hua?" She resolutely took out her hand, sneered and turned back, no longer looking at him.
