Chapter 41 The New Emperor’s Confession(1/2)
When the third lady left, she was in a trance and her steps seemed a little frivolous... Xi'er gave Shangguan Yun a hard look, and Fei Yunxiao followed suit. The cold air made people shiver.
Fei Yunxiao chased him outside the door and saw his disciple still in a low mood: Disciple, let's just turn this over. Don't be sad. It's not that you are bad, it's that he is not worthy of you!
Third Miss, uh uh... Master, I will adjust it. Let's go back to Xiuyun Cave first?
OK! Master will go with you. Just in time, it’s time for Prince Shangguan’s treatment to be adjusted.
The next day, the third lady returned to the palace to say goodbye to Guan Qing.
Shangguanqing was very happy to see the third lady: Tangyuan, can I call you like this? Can you accompany me for a walk in the Imperial Garden?
The third lady smiled lightly: Your Majesty, your name is just a code name, you can call me whatever you want.
In the imperial garden, the fragrance of flowers overflowed. Looking at the huge garden, Emperor Minghui's handsome face was filled with loneliness.
He pointed to the clusters of blooming cherry blossoms and crabapples not far away, and said quietly and affectionately: Tangyuan, can you stay with me?
Your Majesty, glutinous rice balls are always here!
Emperor Minghui looked at the beautiful and flawless third lady and said slowly:
Look, this huge harem, this huge royal garden, is full of flowers and extremely luxuriant.
But Qing'er is the only one who appreciates it. She is alone. Don't you feel that you have let down this wonderful time?
Oh, the third lady raised her eyes and took a brief look.
Well, it’s time for the emperor to choose a concubine! It’s the humble minister who failed to do a good job.
Shangguan Qing stared at her, and suddenly grabbed the third lady with his slender white hand: Tangyuan, I don’t choose a concubine, I just want you to be with me for the rest of my life! Do you promise me...
This was the first time Emperor Minghui spoke to the third lady alone. His lips trembled with excitement and tears shone in his eyes.
Qing'er survived her childhood in desolation. I never met my mother, and I never met my father before I was eight years old...
The third young lady was stunned, and she felt pity for him in her heart: Yes, this Shangguanqing was too miserable. His mother died after birth, and his father was...
Alas... the third lady's eyes were filled with mist.
What did you say? Your Majesty, haven’t I always stayed by your side?
Emperor Minghui said: Uh... Tangyuan, you don't stay like this, you stay with me forever... You know, you don't know that I... like you.
When Emperor Minghui spoke to Tangyuan, he always used "I" or "Qing'er", never "I". He was still the gentle and elegant young man like a flower in Tangyuan's heart.
The third young lady quickly knelt down on one knee: Your Majesty, it is indeed time for your wedding. I will discuss with the Ministry of Etiquette to arrange for the Emperor's beautiful girls to enter the palace as soon as possible.
Emperor Minghui said: I don't want a beautiful girl, I just want you to stay with me for the rest of my life, is that okay?
Your Majesty, why do you have this idea? Ahem...I can't do it, I'm not suitable...Really, Tangyuan's ambition is to ride the world.
Can't you walk around the world if you stay by my side?...I will not interfere with your freedom.
No, Your Majesty, Tangyuan is really grateful for your love, but Tangyuan has become accustomed to a careless life. From now on in the palace...
You mean there will be a lot of beauties, right? Tangyuan, I only want you, and I won’t draft women into the palace.
Your Majesty, you must not do this. The humble minister cannot bear the responsibility of obstructing the royal election. Tangyuan must not dare!...
No, Tangyuan, I know you have a lot of worries. You still don’t understand Qing’er. Many years ago, from the moment I knew you existed in this world, I was thinking about marrying you as my queen in the future! Qing’er really
like you very much!
How is it possible? Tangyuan has never met the emperor.
Emperor Minghui said: You probably don't know that that year your family entered the palace to marry the emperor's aunt...
Ah! Your Majesty, will you be there at that time?
The expression on the third lady's face was as if she had heard a fantasy story. This girl was still very ignorant about love.
As she listened to Shangguan Qing's affectionate words, her heart felt like thousands of horses galloping. In such a long life, this was the first man to woo her in person, and he was the supreme emperor... There was meaning in her bright eyes.
Unknown……
After parting, Shangguanqing solemnly said: Tangyuan, you don’t have to rush to answer me. Just remember, no matter where you go, there is a man waiting for you in the Northern Tang Palace, waiting for you! Keep waiting!
Oh, the third lady’s little face was pale, she staggered, and she stepped back. She walked back to the edge of the Yuqing Pond, and almost fell into the pond...
She turned and ran away, and the emperor behind her added:
The queen's position will always be vacant, Qing'er is waiting for you!
…
The third lady felt dizzy and distraught. She didn't know how she left the imperial garden.
On the way out of the palace, I met some palace maids. They all recognized the third lady and said hello to her as the princess.
The third lady dodged and fled like a thief.
After a long while, the third lady came to Tai Hospital. The hospital was quiet. She walked around and finally found Feng Liu who was making medicine in the backyard.
Ah Liu, would you like to accompany me back to Xiuyun Cave?
Go back to build the Cloud Cave? Yeah, no problem. I said before that wherever Tangyuan is in this life, I, Fengliu, will be with me!
Feng Liu's eyes were full of surprise...
The third lady is so troubled: Oh my god, why is there another one who wants to accompany Tangyuan for the rest of his life...
The third young lady has one head and two big heads. She has some tinnitus... In her ears, Feng Liu is still chattering:
Tangyuan, actually, I really don’t like this palace and don’t want to stay here.
You understand that the palace is not suitable for me. I stay here only because you are in Kyoto...
Then... go and ask for leave from the emperor... Miss San said absently.
At noon, the third lady and the master flew into the sky, and Mr. Fengliu and the other three set out for Tianzun Mountain.
In the afternoon, the imperial edict from the palace arrived at Fangzeyuan.
The scenery along the way was endless, and the third lady was also in high spirits. She did not let herself calm down for a moment, climbing mountains, playing in water, shopping, and eating delicious food.
Fei Yunxiao could see that she was trying hard to restrain herself on the inside. The more careless she looked on the outside, the more it showed how deep and painful the wound in her heart was.
Feng Liu didn't know these details. He thought the third lady was really happy, so he followed her and played happily.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! On this day, they passed by Gyeongju. Fengliu told the third lady to take her to Gyeongju City to eat all the famous dishes.
The most delicious thing in Gyeongju is Zui Fenghuang. The chicken is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It will melt in your mouth and leave you with a delicious taste!
Hmm, let’s try this famous snack in Gyeongju City.
Fengliu happily took them to the gate of Qingzhou City. However, they found that Qingzhou City was desolate, and the people in the city even looked away when talking to others.
Fei Yunxiao asked, what is going on? He asked the fellow villagers passing by, and asked three people in a row. The three people were all in a hurry, saying they didn't know, I don't know, their eyes were extremely panicked.
.
Who is causing trouble in Gyeongju City?
Master: Look at the pedestrians on the street walking in a hurry and looking dodgy...
This spring season should not be like this.
Yes, it is April now, the season of flowers blooming and awn growing. Why are there no people here, and the fields are barren and barren.
The three of them entered a restaurant that catered to customers. There were not many customers in the restaurant. A fat middle-aged man stood behind the reception counter, looking blankly at the street outside.
Boss, if you have anything delicious to eat, bring it to us... Feng Liu greeted happily.
Following the voice, a person who looked like a waiter came over: "Three guests, you are here, what would you like to eat?" The waiter greeted in a low voice.
You have all the good wine and delicious food in your store...especially the famous Drunken Phoenix that cannot be left behind.
Gentlemen, I'm afraid you don't know the situation here. In the store... in the store, we don't have the dishes you mentioned, only simple pasta...
Why? What happened? The three of them said in unison.
The waiter in the shop also looked away, and after a while he said: Master, you guys are from other places, we have a group of people here, who go door to door during the day to collect protection money from people's heads, and at night they burn, kill and rob people, committing all kinds of evil.
Is this kind of thing still happening here? Yes, this place is only about 500 miles away from Kyoto. Who is so bold as to burn, kill, loot and take captives?
Master, you see, after our boss was beaten by them some time ago, his brain is still in a daze.
Alas, in this world, how are we ordinary people going to live? This store is currently being maintained by the owner's daughter.
Didn't you report it to the official?
Report to the officials? They even killed officials. The new prefect, Mr. Liu Tong, was also beaten up a few days ago, and his daughter disappeared inexplicably.
Is there such a thing? Feiyunxiao asked in the cold.
Master, we cannot ignore this matter.
Run quickly, run quickly, close the door, the bad guys are coming again.
Run quickly, son, run quickly and come back!
…
The residents on the street panicked and shouted to their families to go home and close their doors.
