Donggong: If Li Chengyin remembered first

Compared with the East Palace, which had been noisy all night, the palace seemed much quieter and more peaceful.On the morning of May, the flowers and plants are still stained with dew, and the hazy sky shines, crystal clear and radiant, comparable to all the bright jewels in the world, and when the sun rises, there will be no traces, as if the beautiful things in the world are always short-lived.

Before I entered the palace of the Empress Dowager, I ran into my father in front of the Chuihua Gate.He stood in front of the door, facing the east, half-closed his eyes, and carefully looked at the morning sun and clouds covering the sky. He didn't turn to look at me until the sun was fully exposed and the sky was bright.With just one glance, I knew he was waiting for me here specially.

I bowed my hands to greet the ceremony, and said: "I pay respects to my father. The father has been raising him for several months, and his complexion is getting better."

Hearing this, he smiled lightly, as if mocking but also as if he didn't care, and said, "Have breakfast together?" Without waiting for my answer, he had already turned around and strode into the door.

I followed behind him, not far or near.The empress dowager's palace is not big, with several winding corridors and beautiful scenery.I was only thinking about Xiaofeng, and I had no interest in watching the scenery, I just wanted to walk to the end quickly.Father, however, was in a good mood, walking along the veranda, just like taking a walk, stopping and going.

I was in a hurry when he suddenly stopped under a tree and said: "Yin'er, sometimes I really don't know what you want."

I stopped and looked at the tree too, without answering.

"You're not like me, but you're not like your mother either. She has a clever mind but is always very quiet. She doesn't pay attention to everything, but she can see everything clearly. Later I learned that it's not that she didn't pay attention , if she becomes stubborn, she will be like a moth to a flame."

He rarely talked about his mother with me, and I don't know whether he cared too much or didn't care too much.

After he finished speaking, he was silent for a while, then changed the topic: "Did Gu Jian die last night?"

I listened, looked up at him, and still didn't speak.

He finally turned around to look at me. After a long while, he sighed and said, "When you were very young, I taught you that kindness does not command soldiers, righteousness does not manage money, love does not establish affairs, and kindness does not serve as an official. How do you get older? , the simplest truth, but you don’t understand it?”

That's what he said, but there was no disappointment or blame on his expression.

Maybe it's because he didn't wear the emperor's uniform today, he was less majestic and fierce, and rarely showed his father's love.

This kind of kindness, maybe I have hoped for it before.

"My mother and I don't look like each other?" I smiled slightly and said, "I think they are very similar!"

It's not that I don't understand, but I don't want to.He used all means to do it, but fortunately... this heart, he kept it.I raised my hand to cover my left chest, felt the beating of my heart, and said like a comfort, "Moths to the flame...as long as it's the fire, everything else doesn't matter."

I thought of Xiaofeng, looking at that tree was like looking at a ball of fire,

The royal father's expression suddenly changed.As if to get angry.

I was about to lift my feet to leave, when I heard Xiaofeng's voice from a distance, Yong Niang was helping her, and the brigade Gong'e followed, as if looking for someone.She saw me, walked along the path in the garden, and said, "A'Du seems to have disappeared."

It turned out that she didn't know what happened at night.

I went over to help her, and said: "A'Du will come back by himself, don't worry about her."

Only then did she see her father, saw the ceremony, and whispered: "How do you know?"

"Did you have breakfast?"

She shook her head and continued to ask, I took her hand and walked into the hall.

Father Huang still stood where he was, not knowing what he was thinking.

When we were far away, I said, "Xiaofeng, do you think it's better to know everything, or to know nothing?"

She froze for a moment and said, "What happened?"

I hesitated, but decided to tell her.

"Last night, your bedroom was on fire. Everything else is fine, but A'Du was slightly injured."

Is this true or a lie?

"Is it serious?" As soon as she heard that A'Du was injured, she immediately became anxious. She didn't have breakfast, and turned around to leave the palace.

I grabbed her sleeve and said: "Someone is taking care of her, it's not too late to see her after you have breakfast."

She still refused, she must see A'Du to be at ease.

We both returned to the East Palace, but we didn't see A'Du.Even Gu Jian was gone.

Pei Zhao handed over A'Du's golden wrong knife, and said, "Miss A'Du only kept this."

When Xiaofeng saw the knife, tears filled her eyes, and she murmured: "A'Du won't leave me alone..." She looked around in disbelief, hoping that A'Du would still be as usual, just silently Standing in an inconspicuous corner.

The sleeping hall that was on fire is now only a dark ruin, the open fire has been extinguished, and there are still a few strands of blue smoke coming out intermittently.

She couldn't find A'Du, so she went to look for it in the burnt temple with her stomach in her arms.I stopped her and said, "Xiaofeng, A'Du really ran out. She left by herself."

She looked at me with tears in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall.

"Li Chengyin, okay, why did you catch fire? Adu was clearly in the palace with me, why did she come back? Li Chengyin..." She choked up a bit, and then continued: "Did you really lie to me? "

"Xiaofeng...you trust me."

She clenched the knife tightly and looked away in a blink of an eye. Two lines of tears instantly overflowed her eyes and slid down her cheeks.

Yong Niang hurriedly said on the side: "Your Majesty, Miss A'Du is so good at martial arts, so she's fine. Since she left you her own self-defense weapon, I hope you will take good care of yourself." She went forward and handed the handkerchief to Xiao Feng wiped away tears, and persuaded: "Your Majesty is sad, don't stand in the air, there is still a little prince in your belly..."

Xiaofeng was still crying, she turned her face, and looked at me slowly, she seemed to believe it, but she didn't believe it, her expression was full of exhaustion, but she didn't say anything after all, she wiped her tears and supported her waist , slowly moved outside the hall with Yong Niang's support.

I ordered someone to put all Xiaofeng's belongings into my bedroom, which is actually against the rules.But although there are many palaces in the Eastern Palace, I just want her to stay by my side, preferably not leaving her at all, no matter what I do, I can see her as soon as I raise my eyes.

The maids in the palace came and went, sorting things under Yong Niang's orders, she leaned on the couch and watched, rubbing the golden knife repeatedly, without saying a word.Occasionally, when Yong Niang asked something, she just nodded slightly.

I started to worry again.

Why did A'Du leave?

She clearly knew everything, but like Pei Zhao, she chose not to mention a single word.She naturally didn't want Xiaofeng to remember the past, but now that Xiaofeng knew everything, was there anything else she didn't tell Xiaofeng that forced her to leave?

Or... just for Gu Jian?

I don't understand.

In the evening, the imperial father ordered someone to send the edict of Zen throne.I was a little surprised, but I didn't even have the interest to open it and take a look.Xiaofeng was bored in the hall, so she flipped through it casually, and there were some characters she didn't understand, so she asked Yong Niang to read it to her, I saw Yong Niang looked embarrassed, and read it: "The way of the world rules the world, and civilization is thus Controlling the calendar; the great treasure is the position, so Chen Ji is the most respected. In the past Xunhua... the crown prince inherited Yin, the long-term auspicious talisman, and the long-awaited extraordinary watch..."

Before I finished reading, she was bored again.He sighed for a long time, and said out of boredom, "Are you going to be the emperor?"

I put down the imperial edict in my hand, looked at her and said, "Maybe?"

"Maybe?" She was puzzled: "Could it be wrong?"

"I do not know either."

The author has something to say:

I'm a little busy changing my thesis recently.

Should Li Chengyin be the emperor?I'm so tangled too...o(╥﹏╥)o
