How could she be willing to make him sad?
She was reluctant to give up.
How could she be willing to let him go and give him to another woman?
She was unwilling to give in.
Since I can't stalk him, I can only pretend to be hard-hearted.
When he said it was hard, Xu Zhihuai's heart clenched tightly.
Why isn't she working hard?
Even if you endure the pain, you have to take back your thoughts little by little.
"Huai'er, don't make me guess. I feel uncomfortable."
Xu Zhihuai looked down at him, then lowered his head suddenly, soothing his grievances and uneasiness with his soft lips.
This shallow kiss was not enough to wake up Zhu Xiuxing.
He opened his eyes slightly and subconsciously returned the kiss. He didn't allow her to leave him even half a step further. He put his arms around her neck and clasped her waist, wishing she could embed her into his body.
Just blend together and never have to separate again.
After a long kiss, Xu Zhihuai was panting: "I don't want to give up His Highness to anyone else, not even for a minute, but Your Highness is not mine alone. If I don't start to learn to get used to it now, when the Empress enters the palace, I must be the first person to go crazy. Just thinking about His Highness lying on the same bed with another woman makes me suffocated. How many more days and nights I will have to endure in the future, I don’t dare to think!"
She is his only support, and he is her light.
Tears burst into tears at this moment.
Xu Zhihuai's true words were accompanied by tears falling down, hitting Zhu Xuxing's heart one after another.
Zhu Xuxing listened blankly, feeling sad and happy at the same time.
His heart was beating wildly, he hugged her tightly and said in a deep voice: "I shouldn't have made you so sad, it was my fault. I wanted to win Wei Li so much..."
Because she has to win at any cost, she has to endure hardships at the same time.
The two hugged each other tightly.
The hearts that have been separated for months are now close together again.
Zhu Xuxing sighed, kissed her slightly red and swollen eyes, and joked with a bit of heartache: "How long have you been saving tears?"
"Very long time."
Xu Zhihuai's voice was muffled. He didn't want him to see his miserable crying face, so he buried his head in the crook of his neck: "Tomorrow, An'er will laugh at me."
Zhu Xuxing shook his head: "She will only feel sorry for you and give you all her favorite pastries."
Xu Zhihuai smiled.
In the early morning of the next day, the maids in the palace were filled with joy as they watched the imperial concubine personally changing the emperor's clothes.
The empress finally thought about it and reconciled with the emperor.
Zhu Xuxing said to Xu Zhihuai: "Everything I did was to suppress Wei Li. If no one restrains him, the court will be in chaos, so I can't lose this time."
Xu Zhihuai knew what he was thinking and nodded seriously: "I will not hinder His Highness. I know that Your Highness will definitely win. He will defeat Wei Li and bring order to the chaos."
The procession of Turks sending their relatives was huge and moving slowly. It took at least three months to get from the border to the capital.
On the third day of March, the imperial court welcomed the Turkic princess Ashinabu Xilan in accordance with the highest etiquette. Zhu Suxing personally drafted an edict, awarded the phoenix seal in the treasure book, and conferred the title of virtuous and pure queen. Officials of the third rank and above in the court lined up to congratulate. One person was absent due to illness.
Ashina's Xilan wore a phoenix wedding robe and five phoenix hairpins inlaid with pearls and gems on his head. He was escorted by his elder brother and climbed up to the Qianqing Hall step by step.
The Turkic prince and the envoys were very proud to see such a grand wedding ceremony.
Zhu Suxing wore a dragon robe and sat upright on the golden throne, looking at Queen Xi Lan walking toward him step by step with an expressionless face.
He didn't care at all about her appearance.
Regardless of whether she is beautiful or ugly, in his eyes, she is just a pawn.
Underneath the phoenix is a round and delicate face.
She has plain facial features, extremely dark eyebrows, and a naturally cheerful temperament that is neither beautiful nor annoying.
Zhu Xuxing looked at her hand gently placed on his palm, and Xu Zhihuai's side face with tears in his eyes kept flashing in front of his eyes. What is she doing now?
Are you crying?
…
"Snapped!"
A white stone fell heavily, neatly.
"you lose."
Zhu Weizhen smiled faintly and couldn't bear to say: "I should have given way to you, but you are smart, so you have lost respect by giving way."
Xu Zhihuai smiled and put the black pieces in his hand back into the chess box: "Your Highness has shown mercy."
Zhu Weizhen did not attend today's Queen's Ceremony, but stayed here to "accompany" her, which was already a huge honor for her.
Zhu Weizhen looked at the sky and counted the time: "Let's play another round."
"Your Highness, please show your respect. I have already lost two rounds."
There are only three things to do, so why bother.
Zhu Weizhen said slowly: "On a day like today, I don't trust you to go back alone. I am also a woman, and I understand your sadness."
Xu Zhihuai smiled and said: "Your Highness is overly worried. Turks are known for their ferocity and bravery. The Emperor will be even more powerful with the help of the Queen. This is a happy event. I am happy for the Emperor from the bottom of my heart."
Zhu Weizhen didn't believe her words, so he cleared the chessboard again and said, "As long as you are sensible, we will love you more in the future. Your grievance will not be in vain."
"Thank you, Your Highness, but I am really tired today."
Xu Zhihuai stood up and was about to leave, but Zhu Weizhen's expression suddenly changed, as if he was worried.
"Your Highness, don't worry. I will never ruin His Highness's good deeds. Today is a happy day for the Queen to enter the palace. Your Highness will not go to my concubine's place."
Seeing her frankness and frankness, Zhu Weizhen simply said: "Just understand. Even if the emperor really goes to find you tonight, you can't keep him."
"Yes, I understand."
Xu Zhihuai finally got rid of her "care" and just wanted to go back as soon as possible to relax and breathe.
Tonight is bound to be difficult.
Although the emperor promised her that he would never have sex with the queen in the bridal chamber, he must stay tonight.
Xu Zhihuai took a few deep breaths and pretended to be as usual. After putting his daughter to sleep, he retreated from everyone and was alone.
The moonlight outside the window scattered all over the place, announcing that it was late at night.
Xu Zhihuai raised her head and looked at the window filled with moonlight. A sour feeling rushed to the tip of her nose. She took a deep breath and resisted her desire to think wildly.
For a moment, someone giggled in the darkness.
Xu Zhihuai covered his ears subconsciously, thinking he was hearing something.
That laughter was not an illusion, but Wei Li's contemptuous ridicule.
Xu Zhihuai's heart froze and he looked around in panic.
Wei Li sat on a chair a few steps away, legs crossed, half of his face hidden in the shadows, with dark eyes and a cold smile.
Xu Zhihuai pulled his sleeves and hastily wiped the tears from his face.
She didn't want him to see her crying.
Wei Li glanced lazily at her wet face and snorted coldly.
Today, with his dark hair tied high and black official boots, he has no disguise at all.
Xu Zhihuai frowned slightly, wondering how he got in.
"You still dare to come?"
Wei Li raised his eyebrows slightly: "How can I be willing to let my queen grieve alone?"
"I don't need your sympathy, get out of here."
"you need to."
Wei Li said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Only I can help you get the position of queen."
