"Jun'er, you and the beauty haven't visited the Imperial Garden for a long time. Let's go for a walk now. Ruohui and I will chat again!" After the meal, the "little" princess began to chase people away. There were high-sounding reasons.

When she coerces the Crown Prince to take her beauty on a trip, is it possible that she is still talking about her son's marriage?

At this time, all the maids in the room had been dismissed, and Concubine Xia stood in front of the window, twisting a yellowish leaf with both hands. At that moment, something seemed to be different, but Ruoyi couldn't grasp it at all, and was just confused.

He looked at those slender hands in a daze.

"Miss Long," Concubine Xia smiled softly. There was no trace of innocence in her eyes. Apart from a bit of gentleness, what was left was just a hint of tiredness. "Would you like to accompany me, a lady in the palace, for a walk in the garden?

.”

Of course, this garden is not the imperial garden full of flowers, but a maple forest with few people in a secluded part of the palace. Concubine Xia walked slowly, touching the rough tree trunks from time to time. She turned her head and smiled lightly at Ruofei.

"When I first entered the palace, I looked at the maple garden here."

Ruo Yi followed closely, and the maids who came with him were also guarding outside the forest. It must be that Concubine Xia came here often, and it was not pleasant to disturb her nostalgic thoughts. At this time, Ruo Yi pricked up his ears, what was he talking about?

It is definitely the most outrageous and secretive royal gossip.

Concubine Xia twisted a half-red maple leaf and said, "Since I left, the people who guard the garden have not done their best, and the good garden has become like this."

A pavilion loomed in the forest, complete with stone tables and benches. She walked over with some joy, brushed off the dead leaves on the table, and sat down. "Back then, I was a maid who had just entered the palace. I just wanted to survive."

In these ten years, I can return home, find an honest family, and get married."

Concubine Xia pulled Ruo Yi to sit with her, and reached out to tuck the few stray strands of hair on her forehead behind her ears. "What a pity! Until now, I don't know whether that encounter was mine.

Destiny is still my calamity!"

"I was taking a nap in this pavilion that day, sleeping soundly, when I staggered closer. When I woke up, the visitor was already standing in front of me." A trace of tenderness flashed in Concubine Xia's eyes.

Damn, I have never seen such a handsome man, but he has a deep gloominess on his forehead, his eyebrows are slightly frowned, he smells of alcohol, and he has a bottle of wine in his hand."

Ruo Yi's hand that was being held felt a trace of pain. Looking at the deep sorrow in those sad eyes, he was speechless for a moment. He just held the soft jade hand between his hands with his backhand, and gently

Soothingly.

"If I had escaped, I wouldn't be in this situation today." I sighed deeply, and I couldn't tell whether it was more regret or melancholy. "That day, I sat with the sad man and watched.

He drank the jar cleanly in one gulp, then prostrated on the stone table, thinking about Hua'er over and over again. Perhaps, at that time, I lost my heart and left it on the man who was thinking about someone else.

!”

A bleak smile appeared on Concubine Xia's face, which was actually uglier than crying. "Later, he often came here to drink, and I accompanied him, making some rough food for him to deal with. Later, I did

The thing I regret most and least regret in my life. After that, I became pregnant with Jun'er. Am I too stupid? When I was pregnant with Jun'er, I didn't even know the identity of that person!"

"Empress!" Ruofei could only hold her hand tightly, but he was choked with sobs and didn't know how to speak.

"Our emperor, the emperor who only has Concubine Hua in his heart, was still a prince at that time. Concubine Hua was of low status. No matter how much the prince begged, he just refused to take that concubine into the palace. It was because of her that I was fortunate enough to get to know the emperor.

.”

"Yier, is it okay for me to call you like this? I've never told anyone this before. I'm really in trouble today." Concubine Xia smiled bitterly, "Do you know how the late emperor passed away? He was so angry to death because of what happened between the prince and me.

At that time, the late emperor's health was not good. The prince took me, who was already pregnant with Liujia, and rushed into the Jinluan Palace. He told the civil and military officials of the court that he would not be allowed to marry the Hua'er girl, so he brought one girl to the palace every day, and

All of them possess dragon veins. How confused!"
