So good, why would Wei Li touch the people around her?
No, Aunt Nan is not hers, but was installed by him himself.
Xu Zhihuai was tangled in his thoughts. He slept until midnight and was awakened by a nightmare. He sat up alone, hugged his knees, and buried his head in silence.
In the darkness, a pair of hands slowly came around her, surprising her slightly.
Fortunately, she came back to her senses in time, smelled the reassuring breath, and immediately relaxed again.
Zhu Xuxing leaned over from behind her, resting his chin on the crook of her neck, breathing heavily: "Have you had another nightmare?"
"without……"
Xu Zhihuai breathed a sigh of relief and stuttered guiltily.
Zhu Xuxing laughed softly, and kissed the small piece of white and tender skin exposed on the back of her neck with his warm and dry lips: "Don't be afraid."
He had long been accustomed to her helplessness when she woke up from nightmares, and knew how to comfort her in the most useful way.
Say softly "Don't be afraid" and hold her tightly in your arms.
"You haven't had nightmares for a long time? What happened today?"
"It's okay, it's nothing. Maybe I'm tired..."
Xu Zhihuai hid his thoughts and lay in his arms, looking at each other. His eyes were gentle enough to drive away all the darkness.
"Thank you for your hard work for Concubine Yue's birthday banquet."
"how could be."
Zhu Xuxing stroked her smooth long hair, and his sleepiness gradually disappeared: "Elder sister seems to like you very much, and she wants to drag you along with her in everything... It's really hard on you."
Xu Zhihuai smiled helplessly: "How could it be? His Highness always treats me so kindly..."
If you say something against your will, it will always take a lot of effort to say it.
Xu Zhihuai avoided his gaze, hid in his arms, and said with a thick nasal voice: "Your Highness has been very hard recently, and he stayed up for half the night last night."
Zhu Xuxing slowly lifted the broken hair beside her ear: "It should be..."
The two of them slept in each other's arms, each with their own thoughts.
It is the most honorable thing for famous actors in the city to come to the palace to perform on stage.
As soon as the news got out, all the theater troupes in the city who could be named began to get busy, trying to find favors and go through the back door, just to get their own stars into the palace.
Everyone wants to grab it, so there is inevitably a fight over money.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs originally wanted to make some profits from it, but unexpectedly, the eldest princess only handed over all the big and small matters to Xu Zhihuai, and the oil and water in it naturally belonged to her.
Soon, some people started talking and said that the eldest princess had arranged this on purpose.
Xu Zhihuai was from a mediocre background and had no relatives to help him, so he definitely had little savings.
People are all about saving face, so instead of openly giving her large sums of money and making people laugh at her, it would be better to find her a "good job" and get both money and profit.
Xu Zhihuai felt a little irritable for no reason when he heard these gossips.
Jinhua squeezed her shoulders and rubbed her back, and found that her shoulders were bunched up tightly, and she couldn't help but sigh.
She hummed and gestured a few times, and Xu Zhihuai nodded clearly: "I'll go to the hot springs tonight, and things will get better gradually."
Jinhua looked around and wrote the word "aunt" on her palm with her finger. Xu Zhihuai immediately closed his palm and shook his head at her: "Forget about this for now, don't ask any more questions."
Xu Zhihuai worked as usual and worked diligently.
On the day of Concubine Yue's birthday, Xu Zhihuai chose a smoky blue soft silk double-breasted moonlight dress with great care. It was fresh and elegant. If she wore it too brightly, it would be bad if she was overshadowed by the guest.
Today's scripts were selected by Zhu Weizhen himself, including "The Romance of the West Chamber", "The Peach Blossom Fan", and the finale of "The Drunken Concubine".
Concubine Yue was very satisfied, smiling like a peach blossom, and her whole body was filled with joy and energy.
The emperor, who was busy with everything, rarely showed up. In front of the empress, he praised Concubine Yue for being gentle, sensible, and unparalleled.
The queen listened with a smile, without any displeasure.
Xu Zhihuai stood quietly with his eyes lowered, listening to the emperor's overly hearty laughter, his thoughts slowly drifting away.
The emperor's aura was so strong that even his laughter was sonorous and powerful.
The prince was completely different from him. He was always gentle and gentle. When he smiled, it was like the spring breeze blowing, making people feel warm in their hearts.
"I respectfully send you to the Emperor, and I respectfully send you to the Queen."
"Congratulations to Your Majesty...the Queen..."
Accompanied by the greetings from everyone, Xu Zhihuai came back to his senses instantly.
She hurriedly knelt down to salute, and when she saw that the emperor and the queen were gone, she couldn't help but wonder secretly.
The drama hasn't even started yet, why is the most important person gone?
Looking at Concubine Yue, she still had a bright smile on her face, and she couldn't wait to sit down, waiting for the show to begin.
Zhu Weizhen gently pulled her hand: "Silly boy, what are you thinking about?"
Xu Zhihuai smiled hurriedly: "Oh, it's nothing."
Zhu Weizhen saw through her thoughts and said calmly: "My mother doesn't like to listen to plays, and my father is busy with political affairs, so only idle people like us can sit here and enjoy it slowly."
This is the truth.
Xu Zhihuai smiled back: "Your Highness is absolutely right."
In fact, she is also happy.
After listening for only half an hour, she couldn't sit still. Then he turned around to look at Concubine Yue and the other concubines. They all had ecstatic expressions on their faces.
Who wouldn’t love to hear a touching and touching story?
No matter how soulfully you sing on stage, you will be more involved when listening to it on stage.
Xu Zhihuai left with an excuse and took Jinhua to the small courtyard outside the corridor for a quiet moment.
No one passes here, there is a fragrant fragrance of flowers and patches of shade.
Xu Zhihuai leaned against the pillar, quietly lost in thought.
After a moment, a timid voice came out of nowhere: "Empress?"
Xu Zhihuai followed the sound and saw a tall and delicate girl standing outside the moon arch door and saluting.
She was obviously not wearing palace clothes, but she looked familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere...
"Greetings to your Majesty."
The girl took another step closer, then knelt down to say hello.
She is not from the palace.
Xu Zhihuai didn't speak, just watched her every move quietly.
"Don't you remember me?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Zhihuai was instantly alert.
"who are you?"
She felt more and more like she had seen this person before.
"On the day of Mr. Wu's birthday party, the empress saw me."
Xu Zhihuai frowned and thought deeply, but saw Jinhua cover her mouth subconsciously and pull her sleeves anxiously.
Jinhua recognized it.
She is the innocent one.
"Fifty-three taels of silver..."
When she said this, Xu Zhihuai remembered everything.
is her!
That day, Xu Zhihuai spent all his savings "exchanging" identities with her to get close to Qingyi Hou Weili.
Xu Zhihuai stood up and frowned.
Why is she here?
The person opposite nervously clenched his hands and grabbed his clothes.
Xu Zhihuai took a closer look at her dress and knew that she came with the troupe.
"Why are you here? Who asked you to come to the palace?"
Qingguan slowly said, "It's me."
She lied!
It's simply impossible. There will never be such a coincidence in the world.
"It's not easy for you to dare to find me. This is not the place to talk. You'd better say what you have to say, otherwise I will call someone to deal with you."
Xu Zhihuai's eyes turned sharp, not allowing himself to receive any threats.
