I was silent for a while, slowly picked up a paperweight on the table, pressed the pieces of paper that were rustling by the wind, then turned around and said calmly: "Nothing has changed, exactly the same as before."

The smile in his eyes became deeper: “Is it?”

"Um."

"Very good."

Speaking of this, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He slowly turned around and walked to a row of bookshelf. He looked up at the books arranged in layers. The wind blew the corners of his clothes slightly, just like the white paper falling in front of me just now, and it was dazzled for a moment.

He said softly: "I have been thinking that one day I will come back here."

“…”

Maybe I had just walked for too long and said those words to Xie Houqi were too exhausted. At this time, I was already very tired and could only look at him speechlessly. When I heard him stop, I seemed to want to listen to me. My dry lips opened and closed slightly, and I wanted to say- "I'm back now, so what?"

But I hesitated for a moment, and when I exited, I said, "Then I'm back now, are you very happy?"

He slowly turned around and looked at me and said, "What I am most happy about is that you are back here with me."

After saying that, he walked up to me again and said softly: "I know you like reading. Wait - after a while, after you give birth to a child, I will add some of the books here. Then, you can come here often. No other people will come here."

When he said this, I was pulling out a book from the bookshelf and flipping it out. After listening to his words, I silently stuffed the book back.

Then he smiled and said, "Yes, I can't be too exhausted."

He looked at me with a smile, his eyes and eyebrows full of smiles.

I continued, "But one thing may still cost some gods."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"I want to invite people from the Song family again... Mrs. Song and Miss Song come to the palace."

"Why?"

"The previous time, they stayed for too short and couldn't enjoy it; let alone-" I glanced at him: "Ms. Song seemed to want to see you too, but she couldn't find you that day."

His face darkened slightly. Although he didn't immediately feel his face sank, I could still feel that his joy had been affected. He looked at me for a while and said, "Do you want me to see her?"

I smiled and said, "Miss Song's affairs are not my hope."

His eyes flashed: "You seem to be very helpful to the Song family?"

I sighed faintly, turned to look out the door, full of greenness, and the whole vision seemed to be the same as before. The spring was too strong and there was always a little murderous intent. I smiled with a little sad expression: "Although Miss Zitong and Miss Gardi are also thousands of miles away, Miss Zitong has at least one sister in the capital, and some acquaintances have followed her north; Miss Gardi's father and brother have been with her. But I, my home is in Xichuan, and now there is no place to go with people in the capital. Only the Song family - Mrs. Zhang treats me kindly, and the young lady is also a very considerate person. I can only have some contact with them."

I immediately felt the person behind me breathing for a moment.

But he immediately calmed down his emotions and breathing. When I turned to look at him, his expression was as usual, and he only said, "Is that true?"

I said softly: "I am getting close to their family, so I can give myself a sustenance."

"Support..."

"Besides," I continued to say to myself: "Now that you have not ascended the throne, they can still enter the palace and walk around and talk with me; when you ascend the throne ten days later, it will be difficult for me to invite them into the palace to sit."

This is actually clear.

Han Zitong and Gardi have both backgrounds and strengths, while I, Xichuan, are thousands of miles away, and I have no real person around me. Even if he really makes me the queen, he is also a bare queen. If I don’t win over the Song family as my backer, I will probably have no status in the palace.

In fact, this kind of thing has always been the biggest taboo for being a king.

But his expression was a little relaxed than just now. He even smiled and said, "You don't really regard Old Lady Zhang as your elder, right?"

I said, "She is an elder."

Pei Yuanxiu smiled and said, "Okay, I will send an order to let the Song family enter the palace tomorrow. If you are happy, after I ascend the throne, I can also give you a privilege to meet them for a while. Or, if you want to leave the palace and go to the Song Mansion, it is not impossible."

"real?"

"Um."

I smiled and said, "That, thank you."

This matter was solved even after he looked at the sky outside, then he noticed the time and said, "It's time to have lunch."

“I’ve eaten.”

"Have you eaten so early?"

"I'll get up today and eat breakfast late."

"That's not OK. If you don't have lunch, you will be in a state of energy. Let's go back and I'll have some with you."

Seeing that he said this, I no longer refused, so I followed him out obediently. But when I left, I looked back quietly and looked again. Under the bamboo forest, the brand new inner cabinet showed a strange dullness. In this vibrant spring scenery, it seemed to be the only existence without life, standing there quietly.

I turned around and left.

The day was peaceful, and early the next morning, news came out of the outside, Mrs. Song brought Miss Song Yiyi in.

I walked into the house with a spring breeze on my face. The table was filled with various refreshments and dried fruits. As soon as everyone sat down, they exchanged greetings for a while. Perhaps because they could enter the palace again in such a short time, it was also very respectful to say it. Mrs. Song was happier than last time, and her face was about to bloom. She said, "Young Master is indeed the one who feels most sorry for Miss Yan."

I smiled.

"After leaving the palace that day, I was still telling our family that although I could come to the palace to see Miss Yan this time, when the young master ascended the throne, the palace would not be so casual. I am afraid that it would be difficult to meet again in the future. But I didn't expect that I would meet Miss Yan again so soon."

I chatted with her for a few words, and then looked at Song Yiyi next to me.

She opened her clear eyes widened and looked around like the last time she came, as if she couldn't see enough. Later, she felt that I was looking at her, and her eyes also fell to look at me. I smiled and said, "What are Miss Yiyi looking at?"

Song Yiyi said: "Several of my friends told me that the houses in the palace are so magnificent because they want to hide the charm of the golden house. Is it just?

Before she could finish her words, the young lady Song next to her immediately reached out and covered her mouth: "Yiyi, what are you talking about?"

"I didn't say nonsense, they told me."

"Your friends are all little girls who haven't grown up. What do you know? Listen to them less."

"They are as old as me. Didn't you say that I'm already sensible?"

Mrs. Song's face suddenly turned even more ugly. She smiled awkwardly and immediately understood that the ladies of the official family usually do not leave the boudoir easily, but there are always a few close friends who can secretly get together to talk about the worries of her little daughter's family. It is a foregone conclusion that Song Yiyi enters the palace, and her close friends naturally have to express their own opinions on this before they can say that they have a beautiful woman in the golden house.

I originally wanted to chat with them for a few words and then talk about Song Xuan, but now I've been talking far away, but I can't say anything anymore. I just smiled and drank my own tea. When Mrs. Song reached out to twist Song Yiyi under the table, stared at her and stopped her from talking nonsense. When I turned around and smiled embarrassedly, I smiled and said, "I'm sorry that Miss Yiyi didn't meet Mr. Pei last time. The young master should have nothing to do today. I'll ask someone to come over to invite him later."

Mrs. Song hurriedly said, "Miss Yan doesn't need it."

"oh?"

I looked at her with some surprise - didn't she want Pei Yuanxiu to meet Song Yiyi first?

Mrs. Song smiled and said, "We came to the palace this time, and my uncle has also come."

"Oh?!" My heart beat suddenly - Song Xuan, is here too?

"What about others?"

"Of course he can't come with us. He came to the palace to talk to the young master."

“…”

"Of course their men are talking about serious things, which is not convenient to disturb them. If they can really meet, the young master said that they would come over to pass the message."

"So that's how it is."

I felt relieved in my heart.

Unexpectedly, Song Xuan also entered the palace, which was just right. I originally thought that as a foreign man, he was different from the Iron Whip King and Xie Houqi, and could not walk in the palace at will. If I asked him to come to the palace for a lecture, it would be wrong no matter how I asked Mrs. Song and Song Yiyi to the palace today, and he would also come with him.

This is great.

But, if Pei Yuanxiu is there too...

I was a little stunned for a moment, but the matter was not in front of me, and I couldn't think of anything. Mrs. Song happened to come to chat with me again, so she let go of the matter temporarily.

I always have to wait until I meet.

The weather today is better than before, with a gentle breeze. It is also a very comfortable thing to open the door and look at the red walls and green tiles outside while eating dried fruit and snacks.
