Heart of the Palace: Golden Branches and Jade Leaves

Weaving clouds like silk, the bright sun is just right, and the weather is suitable. It is a day worth going out for a walk.The previous work and today's work piled up together, the palace people started to work again after breakfast, the busy background on the road in twos and threes, under the shadow of the setting sun, there was a feeling of sighing that the sun and the moon were just in a hurry.

Earlier, Su Shuangran took the book to sit under the gazebo and read it quietly.Su Shuangran usually wouldn't go out so early, it was really rare to meet her today.The person who waits by her side is Qinglian. After handing over most of the work to Xiang Wanchun, Qinglian has been ignoring Su Shuangran's affairs for a long time, but today she followed Su Shuangran uncharacteristically.Qinglian's heart was not calm, but she endured several times when she wanted to speak, knowing that it was better not to mention the matter at this time, she stood quietly and watched Su Shuangran read the book absent-mindedly.

The opened page of the book has been stopped for a while, Su Shuangran's eyes fell on the paper without noticing it.Something was on her mind, from the time she stepped into the room and saw the person on the bed, Su Shuangran still had difficulty pulling her mind back.After a long time, Su Shuangran finally didn't want to look at it again, sighed silently, then asked Qinglian to ask Qun, "... let me go for a walk with me."

But it's not just Su Shuangran who is in a bad mood?Qinglian followed behind, full of worries.The two wandered around the backyard for nearly half an hour, when Su Shuangran heard that there was a palace official who came to confer the title, Su Shuangran hurried back worried.Unexpectedly, the canonized eunuch had already left at that time, so familiar with the road, he did not wait for Su Shuangran to come over and announced the order. I think it was the order of Emperor Wen not to disturb Su Shuangran at this moment. The eunuch should have seen Emperor Wen come out of the house last night. just come out.

The door of the room was open, and when Su Shuangran came, she saw such a scene, Xiang Wanchun sat on the bedside with lowered eyes and lowered eyebrows, motionless, almost kneeling.

Qinglian felt uncomfortable seeing it, anxious and annoyed, she stepped forward to help him up, but was blocked by Su Shuangran, she turned her face in doubt, seeing Su Shuangran's solemn and silent expression beckoning her to leave, she felt anxious Unable to stop but had to leave as ordered, Qinglian took a deep look at Xiang Wanchun, who was lying on the ground and was unaware of the approaching person, Qinglian stepped back slowly and closed the door with some hesitation.

Xiang Wanchun's expression was dull, and he had never heard of the eunuch's decree from the time he was appointed. Fortunately, Su Shuangran had expected someone to serve by his side. If he went out and knelt down in this situation She must have been lying on the bed when Shane was there, disheveled.But at this time the maid who was serving was not at the side, it must be Xiang Wanchun who sent her away later.

Su Shuangran walked over quickly, and held the person on the ground halfway into her arms: "The ground is cold here, let's go back and sit on the bed."

Whether it was smelling the faint fragrance or seeing the pleats of the plain skirt on the ground, the dry and absent-minded eyes finally moved a little bit, Xiang Wanchun pulled his lips, and it was not easy to call out: "... Your Majesty." The grievance and sadness of last night faded away with subtle apologies, and the backlog of emotions from the moment of receiving the order to kneel down completely poured out with this low call, and the glistening teardrops flowed down into thin lines.

Seeing this, Su Shuangran took up a handkerchief and wiped away the tears on someone's face, but the more tears she wiped away, the handkerchief was half wet in the end.Even so, Xiang Wanchun was still much quieter than the night before. Su Shuangran stroked her sobbing slender back, and softly coaxed: "It's all over, be good, don't cry."

After all, this is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing, and it is not because of your love and my willingness to be honest. Regarding the chastity that women have always valued most, Xiang Wanchun's depressed look at this moment still makes sense.

Xiang Wanchun thinks that she is not a hypocritical person, and she can't do anything to cry because of grief, anger and shame. For some reason, when she sees Su Shuangran, all the emotions that she tried to suppress poured out uncontrollably out.It was the inexplicable extra peace of mind in her heart that made her feel that she didn't have to push Su Shuangran away indifferently.

In fact, everything is against the rules.To be able to get the emperor's fortune is something you can't wish for, and to be canonized by the emperor is a blessing you have cultivated in your previous life. Xiang Wanchun's distraught and half-dead look is going to be placed in front of other concubines, but I don't know how to be annoyed Rebuke.Let's just talk about this without mentioning that, who has ever seen the empress condescend to come over to persuade the maidservant?However, Xiang Wanchun overstepped the rules, and Su Shuangran acquiesced.

Supporting Xiang Wanchun's body, Su Shuangran said: "Come on, don't kneel down." Xiang Wanchun is shorter than her and thinner than her. It's not that difficult.

Xiang Wanchun was actually unwilling, but she had no choice but to agree to the other party's high status.Su Shuangran then asked considerately: "You haven't eaten by now, why don't I ask someone to come over earlier?" Hearing this, Xiang Wanchun pulled the corners of his lips and made an unattractive smile, shaking his head She shook her head, but her pale face was now flushed with a faint blush.

Su Shuangran was careful, so she naturally sensed something was wrong. She squeezed Xiang Wanchun's hand and said softly, "Wan Chun feels uncomfortable? I'll ask the imperial physician to come and check." Even Su Shuangran herself I didn't realize how considerate and gentle people were when they said this.

The coolness at the fingertips made Xiang Wanchun's heart throb, followed by more awkwardness, trying to withdraw his hand, Xiang Wanchun lowered his head and murmured: "... slave, slave want to go Wash and change into clean clothes..." Xiang Wanchun didn't pay attention at first, but when he heard Su Shuangran's question, he found that he was covered in sweat and felt sticky and uncomfortable.Coupled with the disgusting and unbearable fishy smell filling the room, Xiang Wanchun just wanted to go out and find a place far away from here where no one would bother him and be quiet.

"Okay." Su Shuangran didn't let go of her hand when she was concerned about the status of the palace rules, and she clearly noticed Xiang Wanchun's struggle. Let's wash."

"This..." Xiumei frowned, and Xiang Wanchun immediately shook his head and refused, not wanting to be interrupted by Su Shuangran.

"By the way," Su Shuangran said immediately after thinking about the matter, "Since Wan Chun has been enshrined, you can no longer use the title of servant girl in the future. If Wan Chun likes it, you can call me sister."

The tide on his face did not recede, Xiang Wanchun showed surprise, and said: "...Your Majesty, this can't be done." The voice was soft and soft, with the residual faint nasal sound from when we were crying just now, and the expression of panic and fear seemed a little bit timid.

"I vaguely remember how I called Bengong when I first met Wan Chun, but my sister called me Shun at that time," the voice floated far away, following Su Shuangran's words, Xiang Wanchun also gradually remembered his previous recklessness and ignorance, Su But Shuang Ran stopped her voice at the right time, not wanting to mention the matter that disturbed Xiang Wanchun at this moment, so she brought him up, and she said, "Okay, if Wan Chun wants to go take a bath, let's go, changing clothes is also easy." will be more comfortable.”

Xiang Wanchun responded in a nonchalant manner, and hurried out.

Seeing Xiang Wanchun disappear, Su Shuangran's eyes darkened. When she opened the door and entered the room last night, Xiang Wanchun had been in a daze on the bed for a while, and she was shocked when she found that she wanted to approach her. Hiding under the quilt was something Su Shuangran never expected.When she lifted the quilt, she found that Xiang Wanchun's complexion was so pale that it was scary.If it wasn't for comfort and others to go to sleep, Xiang Wanchun's face today would be more haggard and ugly than when he saw him just now.

Xiang Wanchun headed back to the bathing pool, but didn't have the slightest thought to look at it, submerged in the water, his mind was full of the scenes of last night, unwillingly but involuntarily repeated what happened last night.Scenes were fleeting, and the feeling of panic and panic was tasted again, and Xiang Wanchun was still sweating from shock even though he was not buried in the water.Unable to bear it, his body trembled and he slowly shrank back to the edge of the pool.

He also said that at this time, Su Shuangran's eyes were turned back and he said nothing, but Xiang Wanchun, who had a heart like a mirror, could see through his thoughts.

I don't want to mention too many irrelevant old things, but the ups and downs in Su Shuangran's eyes are really interesting, and Xiang Wanchun suddenly has the interest to play: "Zhuang Concubine will not know, that night...Actually, Bengong has been looking forward to it for a long time, hoping that Concubine Zhuang will come sooner and save the palace from the dire straits. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a waste of time. Oh, on the contrary, it was the most embarrassing moment when I was bumped into by Concubine Zhuang. Let's go." Up to this point, the voice was silent.

Staring at those indifferent bright eyes, Xiang Wanchun said again slowly: "I was stupid at that time, even if I still thought in the end that the wooden door could be pushed open by someone suddenly, and that person was you. It's just... Zhuang Concubine, you have let me down after all." The deep voice could not hide the sneer and sleepiness, Su Shuangran knew that she shouldn't be so easily restrained, but her heart couldn't hold back tightly.

The knuckles that clenched the corners of the clothes turned white, Su Shuangran pursed her lips and said nothing, waiting for no interesting response, Xiang Wanchun was dull and lazy, covered her mouth and yawned, saying meaninglessly: "Forget it, I also want this This kind of lie can't be hidden from Concubine Zhuang's eyes."

Unexpectedly, Xiang Wanchun vetoed those remarks so casually, Su Shuangran suddenly raised her head, the worry hidden in her beautiful eyes just fell into Xiang Wanchun's eyes, Xiang Wanchun smiled sweetly, frivolously and ambiguously turned her face She moved closer to Su Shuangran, exhaled like blue, "When did this palace have such a great ability to make Concubine Zhuang feel distressed?"

"If the imperial concubine wishes this for the concubine, there is no reason for the concubine to refuse." Su Shuangran replied with a sudden coldness in her heart, frowning.

"Really?" Su Shuangran's answer was expected, Xiang Wanchun was in a trance for a moment, his eyes moved away from Su Shuangran's face and he didn't know where to look, and sighed lazily, both true and false, " If Concubine Zhuang understands the feeling of pain, I would really like to do what I said... I hope."

In an instant, Su Shuangran's heart sank to the bottom of the lake.
