    ?

    ?The autumn wind is clear, the autumn moon is bright, the fallen leaves gather and disperse, and the jackdaws roost and startle again.  When will lovesickness meet each other?  Embarrassed at this time and night.  ______ Li Bai

    The autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves on the bluestone road, and the small ginkgo leaves like fan leaves hovered in the air, and the eyes were golden.

    Accompanied by the rustling of fallen leaves in the wind, the two of us walked together on the gravel road covered with golden fallen leaves, all the way quietly.

    I don't like this kind of atmosphere very much, but I don't know what to say.

    Finally couldn't bear the atmosphere, I opened my mouth and asked, "Where is General Xu's residence located?"

    He stopped, smiled, turned around and looked at me, "In the northern suburbs of the capital."

    Immediately, I also stopped and looked up at him, "In the northern suburbs? Why is the mansion so far away from the imperial palace? It's not very inconvenient to enter the palace."

    He chuckled lightly, "Yeah, it's quieter far away."

    ? Isn¡¯t it very inconvenient to be in the suburbs? Although it is clean, I always feel that going back and forth to court every day will be very tiring.

    I asked, "Why didn't the general let the emperor choose a mansion close to the palace, so as to save time going back and forth to the court, not to mention the general is a meritorious minister, the emperor will definitely agree to your request."

    He smiled, and reached out to catch a ginkgo leaf, "Miss Yi'er, the scenery in the northern suburbs is very good, and you can go fishing when you have nothing to do. Besides, I asked the emperor to live in the northern suburbs.  On the way back to Beijing, I fell in love with that piece of land, it was clean and interesting, so I asked for instructions to build the General¡¯s Mansion there.¡±

    All the officials were vying to place the mansion in a prosperous area, but he actually asked for instructions to place the mansion in the suburbs, where there were no lively and interesting hawkers, no bustling streets full of laughter, no candied haws, no people coming and going, and no traffic.  Can't get to the palace anytime soon.

    I seem to remember that there is a very beautiful peach blossom forest in the northern suburbs, which is very beautiful.

    He said that his favorite flower is peach blossom, presumably part of the reason for choosing the northern suburbs is because of the peach forest there.

    "I really want to see the beautiful scenery in the northern suburbs, but it's a pity" I sighed, but it's a pity that I can't see the beautiful scenery there.

    "What a pity?"

    I smiled helplessly, "It's a pity that I won't be able to leave the palace anymore."

    "How could it be? Your empress is a queen, so it's not easy to get out of the palace?"

    "It is precisely because I am the Queen of the Wei Kingdom that I can't break the law knowingly. I can only keep my duty, and I can't overstep the rules and cause trouble for my father."

    "My lady is right, my lady, do you like the imperial palace?" His eyes were fixed on me.

    "I don't like it." I replied without hesitation, "I was imprisoned by the Prime Minister's Mansion in the past, but now I just changed to a bigger cage."

    "I understand that the empress has all kinds of helplessness when entering the palace. Although the taste of the palace is bitter, the empress still needs to have fun in the bitterness so that she can live up to herself."

    "Have fun while suffering?"

    What is joy in bitterness?  Being trapped is suffering, not having freedom is suffering, longing is suffering, intrigue is suffering, not being able to see you is also suffering.

    You want me to have fun while suffering, but as long as I see you, everything in the world will no longer be bitter, and everything will be sweet.

    Everything can be sweet, as long as I can see you in my sight, as long as I have your breath beside me, if I can taste your tenderness, it will be the sweetest moment in the world and the happiest moment in the world.

    So Xu Zhishi, you are the sweetness of my bitterness, the only sweetness I want to feel.

    His voice was gentle and magnetic, "This palace is really stuffy, but if your empress wants to leave the palace, just tell me, and I'll take you out secretly."

    His expression doesn't look like he's joking, can he really take me out of the palace?  But if we are discovered, what should we do?

    "Really? General Xu can take me out of the palace?" I seemed to see a glimmer of hope for freedom, and looked straight at him with both eyes.  In my eyes, he is a very powerful person, in my eyes, he has the ability to take me out of the palace.

    He smiled softly, "How could I lie to Miss Yi'er, as long as Miss Yi'er wants to go, just let me know, and I will make arrangements right away."

    I smiled, watching the fallen leaves fall with the wind, it seems that I should go back, otherwise Hongyue will be worried.

    It's time for us to say goodbye, but I can't bear it.

    I can't bear his breath, his gentleness, and the feeling of being so close to him.

    But I am the queen after all, I will go back after all, I have my responsibilities and things I should do.

    I am self-willed enough, I let go?Someone, just to see him.  I have touched him, I have been greedy for him, this gentle dream, I should wake up, I will continue to seek joy in suffering.

    Hesitating for a moment, although I was reluctant, I wanted to say goodbye after all, I said softly, "General Xu, it's getting late today, I should go back."

    He asked, "Does your empress have any accompanying people?"

    "Yes, wait for me over there."

    He smiled, and said gently, "That's good, and please forgive me for not being able to see you off, it is still somewhat inconvenient to travel in this palace."

    Although I don't want to leave, if I don't go back, Hongyue and the others will definitely come to me in a while, and if it is revealed that Xu Zhishi is here, it will definitely cause a disturbance.  Even if these are people from Xuanning Palace, I can't control so much talk, not to mention that these people serve the emperor as their master, "Yes, General Xu still has to go back soon."

    "Don't worry, empress, I should go back now."

    After saying goodbye to him, I turned around and always felt empty in my heart, as if something was missing.

    Seeing me, Hongyue ran over, pulled me and said, "Mother, if you don't come here again, we are going to turn this imperial garden upside down!"

    "Okay, okay, I'm back, let's go back to the palace." I walked towards the Splendid Palace, always feeling empty in my heart.

    "Ma'am, I'm almost starving to death, have you forgotten that we haven't had lunch yet!" Hongyue kept muttering beside me.

    I actually forgot that I hadn't eaten yet, so I didn't feel a bit hungry just now.

    I smiled and said, "I actually forgot that I hadn't had lunch yet. It must be because the scenery of the Royal Garden is so beautiful that I forgot that I hadn't had lunch yet."

    The corners of my mouth kept hanging, Hongyue saw my happy face, and asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty, where did you go? Why is my mood so much better? I haven't seen you for a while, how can I look like a different person.  "

    I pouted, and said in a playful tone, "It's just a walk over there. It's always good to relax by yourself."

    "real?"

    "of course it's true."

    The wind at night was cool, I looked out the window alone, and remembered the situation in the imperial garden.  He leaned over, his face was very close to mine, feeling his breath, my heart beat faster.

    ? When lovesickness meets each other, when will we meet next time?

    In my mind, I recalled the feeling that he was very close to me at that time, recalled the feeling of my heart beating faster, and recalled the faint fragrance of his body.

    Will he come to me in the future?  If it comes, will he really take me out of the palace?

    It's only been a while, and I think about him so much.

    "Ma'am?" Seeing my bewildered expression, Hongyue snapped me back to God, "What's wrong with you?"

    "Ah?!" I was taken aback by her sudden appearance, and said angrily, "Why did you come in without knocking?"

    Hongyue pouted, "I obviously knocked, it's the empress, you were too engrossed, you didn't hear my knock on the door."

    "Oh? Really, I didn't notice you coming." I stood up from the window, walked to the table, sat down and drank a cup of hot tea.

    Hongyue closed my open window, and the cool breeze disappeared for a moment. I asked, "Hongyue, what's the matter with you?"

    "It's nothing. I just came to see you. You didn't eat too much just now. Are you really not hungry?"

    "If you are hungry, I will definitely call you, so you can rest assured."

    "Well then, it's getting late, the empress should go to bed early." She paused, as if she wanted to say something, then choked back.

    She must have wanted to ask me what I did in the Royal Garden at noon today, I smiled slightly, "The night is getting colder, remember to go back and add clothes, I will go to bed soon, you should go back and rest earlier."

    "Yes." She bowed, turned and left.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
