Qingchuan History

Chapter 46
Every palace in Qi Palace has four seasons, but there are no four seasons in Pishuang Palace.

Those reeds are from light green to tea white, and then from tea white to pale yellow, until they wither in winter, they all look the same silent and desolate.Obviously they are plants with extremely vigorous vitality and gorgeous blooming, but these plants in Phishuang Palace seem to be locked in a certain period of time, exuding the breath of the past forever.

Gu Chunyue looked at the tea-white reed flowers in midsummer, turned to Ji Wanling and said, "I remember that the Phi Shuang Palace was like this 20 years ago. You have been in the palace for a year and a half, and the layout has not changed at all."

Ji Wanling smiled, "I think this is very good. Year after year, I have seen many changes in the furnishings. Looking back, it is still the best."

Chunyue also laughed, "All of us are more nostalgic than the other. We are not very old, but we are all so mature."

Wan Ling picked up a chopstick and simmered asparagus with mushrooms, chewing carefully, "Isn't that what happens to children who grow up in temples. They grow old before they have experienced anything."

Chunyue suppressed her smile, "You are much happier than before."

"Sister Yue has not seen me like this for a day or two."

"Speaking of which, you can call me sister or sister-in-law now. But I still like you to call me sister Yue."

Ji Wanling smiled, "It's been called that since I was a child, but I'm not used to changing it. Sister Yue, brother Lei, everything is still yesterday."

Chunyue was silent for a moment. "Wanling, it's been seven years."

There was no sadness on Ji Wanling's face, "So sister Yue, don't worry, I'm used to it."

"You are all so calm now, you don't see sadness or joy on your faces, but it makes me worry even more."

Ji Wanling thought for a moment before she understood who else was in the word "men", "Your Majesty's temperament is indeed much colder than before."

"He became a great treasure at the age of 14, ruled the world, and endured a lot of pressure beyond his age. I thought it was a good thing for him when you entered the palace last year."

"I did this wrong." Ji Wanling looked at Gu Chunyue seriously, "everything I said from the decision to enter the palace to everything I did after entering the palace was wrong. Sister Yue, I'm sorry. "

Chunyue said softly: "Although I don't know how you figured it out, I am very relieved to hear you say that now."

Ji Wanling was surprised, it seems that Gu Xinglang did not tell Chunyue about Ruan Xueyin's investigation.

Then he heard the other party continue: "Since you have entered the palace and become a wife, your life is very long, and you must always get along well with the people around you. Today, Your Majesty is someone worthy of entrustment, especially for you."

Ji Wanling put down the ivory chopsticks in her hand, raised her eyes to look around the main hall of Pishuang, and said in a low voice, "Sister Yue, I was walking around the palace at that time, and I had never entered the hall of Pishuang."

Chunyue nodded, "The empress and Mrs. Xue Shiyu are not on good terms. You were always in the Chengze Hall of the empress at that time, so naturally you never came."

"So who would have imagined it? At the beginning, I never expected that I would be Mrs. Yu of Jing Hong's dynasty, and I would live in this Shuangpi Palace. It's like I never expected that Brother Lei would not come back."

"If the third brother is still there, you should be living in Chengze Palace now."

"Sister Yue, I don't care about this."

"Actually, last year you wanted to enter the palace. Your Majesty also meant the same thing. He didn't want to make you his wife. You should have been a queen. I guess even today, Chengze Palace is still reserved for you."

"But I never thought of being someone else's queen. Except Brother Lei."

"But you are in the palace. You are in the palace, but you still think this way. You are letting down your majesty and yourself at the same time."

"Sister Yue is right. After all, I'm done with my heart now, and I will do my best for Your Majesty."

Chunyue's eyebrows twitched, her complexion did not change, and she still spoke in a soft voice: "Do your best, what do you mean?"

"Sister Yue, I need time."

"I understand. Wanling, you and Junshang have been together since childhood, a friendship that is incomparable to others in the harem. Chunfeng will always get married, and the only person I can entrust to you is you. You have to protect him."

Ji Wanling nodded, "Don't worry, sister."

"Speaking of which, do you have any contact with Mrs. Pei?"

Ji Wanling thought for a moment, "A few times."

"how do you feel?"

She remembered Gu Xinglang's entrustment, and finally did not say anything about the treatment, "Nothing happened, Wanling can only rely on her intuition. It doesn't seem like she came to do things for Yin Jun. It seems that she has no bad intentions." .”

"Before I got married, I didn't know Pengxi Mountain, nor did I know Mrs. Jiji. In the past few years, I occasionally listened to my father and your brother discussing things. I always thought, if such a powerful person has nothing to ask for, why would Come to Qi Palace? It can’t really be just to marry the king.”

Ji Wanling smiled and said, "Why not? How many of the first-class beauties in the world don't want to marry him?"

Chunyue also smiled, "Since you know, why don't you hurry up and stand beside him. These few people in the harem are no worse than you."

"Sister Yue is right. Not only is she not worse than me, but she is better than me. In this Tianchang Festival night banquet, you can dance while playing music, or chant poems while dancing, and there are such wonderful sights as stars and rain. I The picture of mountains and rivers that I painted for a month suddenly became inferior."

Gu Chunyue also recalled the situation that day, feeling quite emotional, "Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Zhen really put in a lot of effort. As for Mrs. Pei, although the running stars and falling rain are a spectacle, it is not because of her effort to prepare for it. In the end, it is only because she knows how to watch the stars." , just a coincidence."

Ji Wanling recalled her skin color and scars three months before entering the palace. For some reason, now that she thinks about it, it always feels like she did it on purpose, and she made it clear that she came to borrow something. "She should have no desire to compete for favor."

"I don't ask for anything else, and I don't ask for favor, so it's more worthy of attention. But speaking of it, I have very little contact with them, but," Gu Chunyue paused, "No matter what else, when it comes to the person herself, Mrs. Pei has outstanding talents and outstanding talents. It seems that the emperor would like it."

It's just a gut feeling based on knowing a person for years.

It is also completely casual.

Ji Wanling's expression changed slightly, she looked at Chunyue seriously and said, "Sister Yue also thinks so?"

It was Gu Chunyue's turn that his expression changed slightly.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Chunyue smiled: "It's just idle nonsense, how can there be any reason why anyone should like whom? Your Majesty has loved you for many years, and you are his favorite."

Ji Wanling smiled, lowered her head and took a sip of the soup, "Sister Yue and I grew up with Jun Shang, and she is the person who understands him best in the world. You and I both feel this way, so it can't be considered nonsense."

"You, always think too much. Thinking too much hurts your body."

Ji Wanling smiled, and turned to say: "The last time I returned home in a hurry, I was too busy talking to my father, and I didn't spend much time with my mother. I just said a few words. My mother seems to be very worried about Ji Qi's marriage recently."

Chunyue shook her head straight, "You also know Chai Yiyao, the third lady of General Hussar's Mansion. Her family background and appearance are all high-class, and her age is also suitable. I'm afraid there won't be another young lady from a noble family who is so suitable for him in the whole city of Jidu." .Your third brother just refuses."

"He just turned eighteen, so there's no need to rush."

"The intention of both parents is to get engaged, and it won't be too late to get married in a few years. Now Ji Qi disagrees, and the house dare not say anything, for fear that Mr. Chai will find out. Recently, my parents are dealing with Ji Qi."

"What did he say?"

"It was you who said this at the beginning. I was still young and wanted to make contributions. Of course, it was quickly refuted. Since ancient times, there are not a few men who first start a family and then start a business. The Xiangguo's family has a big business, and there is no such problem. In a hurry, he suddenly said that he already has a sweetheart, and he will marry him when he succeeds."

"Who?"

Chunyue shook her head: "He didn't say it. I thought, probably it was fabricated on the spur of the moment."

Ji Wanling was a little uncertain, and suddenly remembered that Heng'er had mentioned before——

It's just one side, it's not really for her?
