"Thank you, sir. It's really getting late. Let's go back early."
"Okay," Xie Wei said calmly, his eyes lowered and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The chariot sedan separated from the two people walked directly to Zhaoping Palace. Su Baoer didn't want to go and greet the two people, and of course they didn't want to see her.
But we still have to save face and go tomorrow, Su Baoer thought as he yawned.
For some reason, the winter at the palace gate seemed much colder than outside the palace. Su Baoer was wearing heavy clothes that seemed to weigh down her body, and she could still feel the biting cold wind.
She came to the Queen Mother's palace and stood at the entrance of the palace, waiting quietly for the eunuch to pass the message.
After waiting for a long time, Su Baoer still didn't see anyone. The cold outside made her body stiff, and she couldn't stand and was swaying.
"Princess."
Ayun exclaimed and was about to help Su Baoer when a warm palm grasped Su Baoer's hand.
"Princess, be careful," the voice was still indifferent, and you couldn't even tell whether this person was concerned or just doing it casually.
Su Baoer raised her head and looked at Xie Wei. Her eyes, which were originally a little dazed, immediately regained consciousness. She smiled lightly and said, "Thank you."
The nostalgia in the eyes may only be understood by each other.
After carefully supporting her, Xie Wei immediately let go of his hand.
The movement of the two people was seen by someone who had been observing outside. An old woman came out and smiled at Xie Wei: "Why are you free to come here today, Mr. Xie?"
Xie Wei stood in the wind-shielding place, cupped his hands and said, "On your Majesty's order, I came here to discuss important matters with the Queen Mother. Please let me know."
The old grandma nodded and walked in, and walked out again after a while.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has invited you." After saying that, she turned to look at Su Bao'er and said with a smile: "The princess is interested, but the Queen Mother has been unwell recently and should not see anyone except for important matters. The princess's wishes I already know, so you should go back early."
"Abao, please excuse me. Please take good care of your mother. Remember to put on more clothes when it's freezing."
Su Baoer leaned forward slightly, turned around and glanced at Xie Wei's back with worried eyes.
She felt as if she had a lump in her throat and wanted to crawl into the ground when she knelt down and obeyed the orders of those she hated.
What's more, he is facing his current enemy, how painful it must be.
Su Baoer looked at the new sprouts growing on the pear tree absentmindedly.
She was dressed entirely in white, as if she had blended into the flying snow, looking cool and pure white.
"Princess, it's so cold here. Let's go back to the palace early."
Su Baoer shook his head gently: "No, I have to wait for him."
"Who are you waiting for?" Ayun asked in confusion.
Su Baoer smiled and put Tang Pozi in Ayun's hand without explaining.
"If it's cold, warm it up."
"I don't want this," Ayun returned Tang Pozi to Su Baoer, folding his hands on his chest like a manly woman: "I'm in great shape, and I'm not afraid of the cold wind."
"Yes, yes, Ayun is the best."
The two were chatting in the pavilion. Su Bao looked out every once in a while. Seeing that no one had come yet, the worry on his face became more and more obvious.
"Princess, he is here," suddenly Ayun shook Su Baoer's slender arm.
The force was so strong that her body shook. Su Baoer glanced at Ayun's hand and found it hard to imagine that a thin woman could be so strong.
Su Baoer looked in the direction she pointed, but it was blocked by the curtain, and she could only see a blurry figure.
The man was dressed in a red official uniform, and his walking posture was like the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month in winter, bringing a different kind of charm to him.
Su Baoer pursed her lips, her brows full of reluctance.
This place is secluded but not remote, because there is nothing important, and no officials will go to the harem and then come out of the harem through this road.
But it was quite close to the imperial garden, and there were many maids and eunuchs cleaning it, so Su Baoer did not dare to step forward rashly to meet Xie Wei.
Seeing Xie Wei passing by the pavilion, Su Baoer couldn't bear it anymore.
With a crash, the wind-blocking curtain was pushed open.
Xie Wei heard the sound, looked back at the place where the sound came from, and met a pair of moist and aggrieved eyes.
Her white clothes were so clean that she seemed to blend into the snow. He was disgusted with the whiteness and coldness of the snow.
But although she is white, she is as bright and hot as the sun.
It's the heat in his eyes.
The two of them looked at each other across the road, and the longing and sadness in their eyes turned into a sword, which pierced Xie Wei's heart, making his heart feel a little sour.
He paused, saluted Su Baoer respectfully, and stepped back to leave the room.
His eyes were deep and flashed with unknown emotions. He gave Su Baoer a complicated look, then looked over her and gave her a hidden look behind her.
Su Baoer put down the curtain and watched his back disappear on the road quietly.
A drop of clear tears fell, and she couldn't help but choked out: "Ayun, when do you think I can really stand by his side?"
