There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 275 No Future

"It's actually okay." Tang Wanning smiled lightly, but there was no smile in her eyes.

This deep palace is the place that all women in the world yearn for, it is also the place where there is the least freedom, the most supreme place in the world, and it is also the place where suffering is the most painful.

From ancient times to the present, I don't know how many beauties and tears have been shed here, how many beautiful girls have been buried here, and how many ignorant girls' innocence have been buried here.

After all, she is just one of them.

"Wanwan, I know you're unhappy." Xia Houjue took her hand and gave her a small and exquisite dragon-shaped jade pendant.

"This is my personal thing. Seeing it is like seeing me. If you want to leave the palace, go out by yourself. You just want to change clothes. Don't let others know."

"Really?" Tang Wanning picked up the jade pendant excitedly, her eyes glowed brightly, completely different from the one just now.

"Can it be any time? Can I go out for as long as I want? Is it okay to stay out overnight and not come back?" She asked these questions in one mouth.

Xia Houjue: "..."

While resisting the urge to take back the jade pendant immediately, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few forced smiles.

"Yes, you can go out whenever you want."

"Ah! Really? Are you sure? You are not lying to me, why did you suddenly come up with this trick to make me happy?"

Tang Wanning was so excited, she wanted to leave the palace, she wanted to go out day and night, this deep palace was not her taste at all.

Although she had set a goal before to be a virtuous empress through the ages, she later found out that being a virtuous empress is too hard and she couldn't accomplish it, so she still wanted to go out.

She just endured it like this, and even thought of rejecting him the moment he took out the jade pendant, but unfortunately, she was more honest, so she really couldn't hold back.

"Yes!" Xia Houjue gritted his teeth and made a final decision.

Tang Waning was elated, she leaned down and kissed him deeply on the cheek.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding, but the concubine will be disrespectful."

Xia Houjue touched his cheek, his heart was pounding, this was the first time Wanwan kissed him.

Sure enough, there is a good saying, he can't bear to let the child not be caught by the wolf, he spends all his money to please his wife, it is still useful...

When the two people in the palace were blushing and their hearts were beating, the two people outside the palace were facing the storm in their hearts.

Coming out of the palace and returning to the palace, Ansaiya didn't say a word, Xia Houjing was a little worried, but didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only stay with her without saying a word.

The back garden of the palace was very beautiful. Ansaiya stood beside a cluster of blooming peonies in a red dress, looking particularly beautiful, like a fairy among flowers, like a flower god in the sky.

It's a pity that her eyes are melancholy and her expression is heavy, she has long lost the vivacity she had before.

Xia Houjing was dressed in white and stood beside her, "It's getting late, the princess should eat and rest earlier."

Ansaiya looked back at him blankly, and smiled faintly: "The peonies here are so beautiful."

The Tubo tribe didn't talk like that, the first time I saw it was in Concubine Li's palace, they helped a peony branch together, the two of them squatted on the ground and got their hands muddy, but they didn't mind.

It was so good at that time, everyone's smiles were so sweet.

"If you like it, I'll ask someone to give you all the peonies."

Ansai pulled her lips and smiled: "It's better not to use it, just let them grow here, the place I live...is not suitable for them."

"It's not too much trouble. You happen to have an open space in your yard. Move them there and change the name to Peony Garden."

"That's fine, as long as you like it." Ansaiya didn't care much.

Xia Houjing was very happy: "The important thing is that you like it. I will call someone to transplant it in two days. You go back to the yard to rest first. After another three to five days, you can see peonies as soon as you wake up. "

"Really? That must be very beautiful." Ansai smiled, her eyes fell on the big red peony flower, her eyes were full of love.

"The color is so pretty."

She cupped her hands on the flower bone, caressing it up and down, but she was not willing to take it off after all.

"Let it grow. This is her home, her root. I can't pluck her off mercilessly. Let it grow."

She muttered to herself, and Xiahou also stopped in time.

"It's getting late, and I'm tired too. Your Highness should go back to rest earlier." She turned around and walked to her yard.

Xia Houjing looked at her back, hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing, and the two drifted away.

……

Five days later, on the day the peonies were planted, Xia Houjing went straight to the peony garden after returning from court early in the morning.

"Ansaiya, are you satisfied when you get up and see? They are all red peonies planted according to your preferences." His words echoed in the empty peony garden, and the only response to him was silence.

"Ansaiah?"

"Anseya, are you there?"

He was a little flustered, and searched the Peony Garden up and down, inside and out.

In the bedroom, the beds are neatly made, in the warm pavilion, there is nothing, and on the soft couch, everything is empty, all the places are clear at a glance, and there is not even a half-sentence response.

The only thing that could answer him was a handwritten letter on the bed in front of the bedroom window.

Xia Houjing picked up the letter, only to see a few large characters written on it: King Jing himself.The handwriting is crooked and unskilled, and it looks like it was written by her hand.

With a pain in his heart, he carefully opened the envelope, and there was only a thin piece of paper inside, with only a few short words on the paper.

'One difference and two widths, everyone is happy. '

She hasn't read many books in Daxia Dynasty, so these two sentences are probably all the ink in her stomach.

In the past, she was always clamoring that she wanted to learn painting, poetry, and playing the piano from him. She was so eager for everything in the Great Xia Dynasty, and she was ready to be a princess.

She was so foolishly looking forward to everything, but now, she was no longer the lively and cute little girl she was back then.

She, after all, left.

Can't tell what it feels like, Xia Houjing just feels tightness in his chest.

He wanted to chase her out. She should have not gone far at this moment, but his feet seemed to be stuck to the ground, and he couldn't move forward no matter what.

So what if you chase them out?They still missed it after all.

The peonies outside the window were in full bloom, fiery red like one ball after another of flames, like the burning clouds in the sky on a summer afternoon, and even more like the red dress she was wearing.

From then on, no girl in red asked him weirdly: "Can you catch chickens?", and no girl asked her with a red smiling face: "Can you marry me? "

In the future, there will never be any more.

Xia Houjing stood by the window with her hands behind her back, staring straight at the fiery red peonies, her eyes were sore and she couldn't bear to blink. Not long after, two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks.

I don't know if I am tired, or I am blinded by the wind outside the window.
