"Your Highness, look at how beautiful the weather is today. The Persian chrysanthemums in the garden are all in bloom. You've always loved these flowers. Qingzhu will take you out for a stroll." Early in the morning, my personal maid Qingzhu dragged me out of bed and spent a long time dressing me up. First, she applied the popular Tang Dynasty peach blossom makeup, which was truly too bright and colorful. Although I didn't quite appreciate it, she insisted it was extremely beautiful. I thought she was just teasing me and didn't take it to heart. After changing into a light and soft bird-patterned skirt, we leisurely strolled to the imperial garden.
Unbelievable, my first reaction was to run away. Over there, the one embracing the The beauty and chatting merrily is none other than the universally insane and eccentric Li Zhu! "I almost got killed by you," I muttered quietly to Qingzhu. However, as I lifted my skirt and took a few steps, I thought again: I don't owe him money, nor do I owe him any favors. If anything, it's Li Zhu who owes me his life. Why should I avoid him? With that in mind, I slowly moved closer, stopping three feet away from him, about to call out to him.
At this moment, the wind suddenly picked up. The delicate and pitiful fallen petals danced with the wind, completing a graceful and lingering dance for the extraordinary "couple." It was truly indescribably gentle and charming, an endless flow of elegance and romance. The scene before my eyes was like a beautiful painting, bringing joy to the man holding his beloved in his arms, and piercing my indifferent eyes.
"Oh, but Yue'er?" Who called out this ridiculous name again? The sweet voice made me shudder. "Who are you?" I saw him turn around, his eyes filled with complex emotions that I couldn't understand. His expression was inscrutable. "And who are you?" I made a rough guess. The soft and boneless The beauty clinging to him seemed to be the plump and beautiful woman from the palace, probably Lady Wen Ru Yu. Oh, no, it's not her, it's Empress Wen. "She is your sister, Lady Wen," Wen Ru Yu smiled at me without saying anything, while Li Zhu casually played with her soft tassels and answered absentmindedly.
I saw him indulging in the The beauty and didn't bother to pay attention. I grabbed Qingzhu and wanted to leave immediately. He was fast, and he grabbed my wrist. I felt disgusted, as he had just touched that person and now he was touching me. " Yue'er How can someone with a bad body be so confused? Have you forgotten to ask about the queen's well-being?" I turned around to say something, but I saw him kissing the soft lips of the person deeply.
I watched as a beautiful person was kissed by him until they were breathless, blushing and embarrassed. "Very interesting, but does a cheap prostitute deserve my greetings? I wish you, the shameless couple, eternal happiness." I thought to myself, but my mouth was faster than my brain, and I said it out loud.
Wow, I saw her shedding tears, but wait, the tears of a The beauty are not tears, they are shining deep-sea pearls. This idiot really slapped me again and I made her tremble with anger. "I miss you and your body is not yet healed. I will confine you to the Chongqing Palace for a month, sparing you from the paddle. Once you are better, you will immediately go to the Long'an Palace to apologize to Yu'er." Then he quickly embraced the person and turned around, flicking off a petal from her head and began to coax her with kind words.
I was about to retort to him that he's not worthy of Chang'e, but Qingzhu pulled me away quickly. My face was so swollen that I couldn't speak. Hehe.
"Your Highness, why do you have to suffer like this? The Emperor really cares for and protects you, but why do you always confront the Empress? After all, she is the Empress." As she carefully applied ointment to me, she poured out her grievances. Her crumpled, aggrieved face made me laugh, and I deliberately teased her, "He treats me well? Do you believe that tomorrow the waters of the Yellow River will dry up and Yue'er cakes will fall from the sky?" I joked without reservation. Qingzhu glared at me, full of frustration, and I poked her puffy cheek, laughing, but then quickly composed myself.
At that time, I had no idea that Li Zhu was standing outside the door, listening at the wall. I'm sorry, Zhu.
" Yue'er, today is your birthday. I have prepared a gift for you. Would you like to see it?" He walked in and gestured for Qingzhu to leave, then gently took my hand as if nothing had happened and led me back to the imperial garden. I couldn't resist him, and Zhu couldn't resist the dark guards, so I had to go, and Zhu had to die.
I don't know anything, I hate it. I followed him to this eerie garden without much struggle. There were all kinds of pastries on the sandalwood table, and ugly yet expensive dishes with gold and jade were filled with cheap pastries. Particularly beautiful Persian chrysanthemums, with large clusters vying for attention, not content to be admired alone.
" Yue'er wants to eat pastries, so I sent someone to buy all the pastries available outside the palace. I was quite pleased with myself when I said this as my first words. I was just about to mock him for being crazy. However, he seemed to remember something else very quickly. With a joyful wave of his hand, a series of shadows flashed by, and when he stopped, two rows of people stood in perfect formation. " Yue'er wants to visit the market, so I sent people to gather all kinds of treasures. We have everything you could want," he said as his second sentence. At this point, I fell silent. To be honest, I really couldn't understand him. I didn't understand his thoughts or actions. I really wanted to ask why, but in the end, I didn't say anything or ask anything. I just pretended to eat a pastry, ignoring all the messy pearls, gems, and spices. Until...
"The fireworks are beautiful, aren't they? If Yue'er likes them, I will accompany you to see them every day, okay?" I could see the careful, eager-to-please look on his face, like an inexperienced young man who couldn't hide his feelings, but I knew he wasn't. There are no real markets in this deep palace, only bloody transactions. It's very dirty. He, the ruler, can't clean it up. How much blood is on his hands? Does he wake up in a cold sweat every midnight? I just looked at him, but he said that my gaze was terrifying, as if it had the power to see through people's hearts, so I ended up going blind."
"I want to go out," I said to him slowly, but he just smiled and didn't respond. " Yue'er You look beautiful today," I knew my face was swollen now, and he seemed to be mocking me. "Li Zhu, let me tell you, I don't believe in fate. Even if meeting you was the unluckiest thing that ever happened to me, I would still find a way to give you a tragedy." I laughed, maybe too hard, and my face hurt again.
"And that's all you have to say to me," were my final words to him. After that, I never spoke to him again. I walked back alone.
"At ease with self-inflicted troubles, finding joy in self-indulgence." At that time, I certainly didn't know about his forbearance and his sorrow. I only felt that if he had even the slightest affection for me, my words would be enough to kill him a thousand times over. And indeed, when the truth came to light, my choice remained unchanged. If everything could start over, I would go back to the night before I left and kill the tender jade. Later, I did just that. It felt good.
If it weren't for the huge crowd that day, I wouldn't have lost both money and people.
