He seemed to be drunk and looked at him. There was still a little tenderness in his eyes. Eunuch Yu leaned over and said, "The Imperial Concubine has been waiting, and people come to greet him. The emperor tonight-"

Pei Yuanhao's eyes became slightly clearer.

I think he had arranged to go to Nangong Lizhu tonight. He usually didn't come to ask the concubines Chengen, but only Nangong Lizhu would have someone to come to ask.

Pei Yuanhao was silent for a moment, and then said, "I understand."

Eunuch Yu nodded and still stood at the door.

Pei Yuanhao sat at the table, reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose, sobered himself a little, then stood up, drank the last little tea in the tea bowl, and waved his hand: "Go up."

Eunuch Yu took a step back: "Yes."

He walked out.

I stood there respectfully, from Eunuch Yu in and spoke when he spoke, and didn't dare to let out a sip, for fear of being able to lead to some branches outside the hall. Until I saw him stepping out the threshold, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking back at Miaoyan, she seemed to be very sleepy. She didn't take a nap all day today. Although she sat there silently, her eyelids drooped slightly and her eyes became chaotic. I walked over and carried her to the bed to sit. I asked Susu to take off her clothes and then went down. Only Miaoyan and I were left in the room.

I twisted a hot veil to wash her face and wiped her hands, and cleaned it a little bit by myself. Then I took off my heavy coat and pulled a long robe from the hanger to put on when I heard a squeak behind me.

A gust of cold wind blew in, and the curtains that separated the inside and outside the center of the house were blown away.

I was startled and looked back and was even more shocked.

Pei Yuanhao stood at the door!

Why is he back?!

I was shocked and hurriedly put on my clothes. He stood at the door and looked at me like this. The curtains in the middle were flying, and I couldn't see the expression on his face at this moment.

At this moment, my voice changed.

"you--"

He didn't say anything, just stared at me blankly.

The cold wind kept pouring into the warm room from behind him, and in an instant, almost completely blew my fingertips. I subconsciously pinched the clothes on my chest and stared at him with my eyes.

The pale face was almost transparent under the candlelight, and it also wrote all the fear and panic on the face.

I don’t know how long it took, but I finally felt the bone-bone chill all over my body and couldn’t help trembling. He watched me tremble all over, and as if he suddenly woke up, he subconsciously took a step in: “Light.”

I then took a step back.

He was silent for a moment, and then said, "It's okay, I just suddenly remembered that there was something to give to Miaoyan."

"Miscellaneous words?"

"Today is her birthday. I have a gift to give to her."

“…”

After saying that, he walked in by himself, took out a small box from his sleeve, put it on the table, and then looked at me again. At this time, Eunuch Yu and the others outside the door were still waiting in the snow, and they didn't dare to urge him, but there was still a look of anxiety in their eyes. I looked at them, looked at the box on the table, and nodded: "Oh."

He turned around and walked out.

The door was closed again.

However, the cold wind that had just poured in seemed to have not dissipated for a while and was still raging in the room. My limbs and five bodies were still a little stiff and could not move. After a long time, I finally felt a little bit of consciousness and gently reached out to pick up the small box.

However, the size of a slap is not heavy. If you guess, there shouldn't be anything too amazing inside.

But - it's hard to say.

I hesitated for a while, but opened the buckle on the box and slowly uncovered the lid.

A delicate orchid golden buckle is placed in the box safely.

I was stunned immediately, this is-

This is the orchid buckle back then!

Once, he gave it to me when he was in Jiangnan and kept it on my neck, but he was lost in Hongye Temple and thought he would never find it again. However, he was picked up by Qinghan, who went to Hongye Temple to work, and later...

Later, he used this gold buckle to save my life.

But it also buried the cause of the disaster that was later found by Pei Yuanhao and finally dispersed.

I rarely think about everything in the past. After all, I don’t want to make things difficult for myself, but I didn’t expect that this orchid buckle appeared in my palm in a bystander-like, calm attitude, and reflected the candlelight in the box, flashing with dazzling golden light.

This button seems to be often played with, and it is very smooth and shiny.

This is the birthday gift he gave to Miaoyan?

If I remember correctly, he appeared in front of us as "Young Master Yuan", and the orchid buckle he gave to Miaoyan was also the orchid buckle. However, Miaoyan suddenly burst into tears and refused to bring it with him, so he gave up. But I didn't expect that he had stayed until now, and at this time, he gave it to Miaoyan again.

Looking back at my daughter who was sitting by the window, silent, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I really know how to choose the time. What is Miaoyan at this time? I won’t imagine crying and refusing like I did back then.

There was also a red thread in the box, which was woven finely with red threads and was worn on the orchid buckle. It was not too big or small, and it was just enough to carry it on the girl's wrist. I held the red thread and looked at the orchid buckle at the candlelight for a long time. Finally, I sighed lightly, turned around and walked to Miaoyan's side, raised her hand, and brought it to her wrist.

Sure enough, she didn't cry or make a fuss, nor did she refuse.

She just didn't feel anything at all.

But for some reason, an indescribable sourness and even pain surged in my heart. I gently hugged her into my arms and murmured softly: "Miaoyan, my daughter...you get better soon, get better soon..."

The next day, it was a dark and cloudy day.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! It started to snow from midnight. When I woke up in the morning, I opened the window and saw thick snow outside, reflecting the white and shiny on the windows.

I had a night of dreams. When I woke up early, I was a little confused. I was eating with Miaoyan. When I saw Madam Wu walking in from outside, she looked a little confused on her face, as if I heard something that made her worry. I asked, "Madam, what's wrong?"

She said, "Does the girl know? The emperor has been in the morning today."

"Oh? Today?"

Pei Yuanhao's courtship time was held for ten times a month, which was relatively fixed, but he did not go yesterday, obviously to avoid Taishi Chang and Nangong Jinhong, so the two adults would go to the imperial study to "accus" him later. Today is not the day to court, but he has already been courting early.

I said with a smile: "Probably, is there anything important?"

"The girl is really right. Just now Xiao Fu - Eunuch Fu came over and said a few words. I heard that the emperor is going to discuss some major issues today. Officials of third rank and above will enter the palace. Even the great gentleman from Jixian Hall sent someone to pick him up in a sedan chair early in the morning."

"oh?"

My heart couldn't help but feel tight.

Fu Badai!

Pei Yuanhao indeed invited Fu Badai.

It seems that he listened to what I said to him yesterday. What he wanted to discuss today is about what Taishi Chang and Nangong Jinhong asked, and the matter of using troops to Xichuan is correct.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

This matter is really big, and if Pei Yuanhao can't withstand the pressure of the court officials and really decides to use troops against Xichuan, this is almost a decision that determines the fate of the entire Celestial Empire. At least in my opinion, for him, from the perspective of the long-term interests of the court, it has not been better promoted.

On the contrary, once he starts a war with Xichuan, he is likely to fall into a long-term delayed war. If Jiangnan takes advantage of the situation, he will enter.

What's even more terrifying is that if even the soldiers and horses on the grassland take advantage of this to move south-

I can't even think about it.

By that time, the entire Central Plains will be implicated in the war. In that case, no party can be spared, whether it is the court or the local government!

The palms were sweating in my palms, and I almost couldn't even handle the bowl. Madam Wu hurried over and held my arm: "What's wrong with my girl?"

I put down the bowl and looked out: "When is it now? The court discussion has begun, right?"

"It's already started. If it were normal, it would have been dispersed at this time."

"oh?"

She said, and looked out: "It seems that the emperor is really doing big things."

“…”

I didn't say anything for a moment. I looked down and saw that less than half of the porridge was left in the bowl. It was already a little cold. So I picked up a little dish, ate it all, and then wiped my mouth.

I asked, "Madam, you just went out and saw the Queen, how about you?"

"Empress, she seems to be still in the palace and has not moved."

"Oh. Then I'll go there."

"ah?"

These days, because Chang Qing did not go to pay tribute to me intentionally or unintentionally, and I did not go to pay tribute to me again, let alone disturb her. The two sides seemed to have suddenly stopped contacting me. Although Kou'er and Xing'er's attitude towards me was still the same, without any distantness and indifference, it was obvious that Chang Qing did not let them stop contacting me, and often sent some good things from private rooms. But on my side, Madam Wu has followed me a few years ago, and she understood it very clearly at this time.

She hesitated a little: "Miss is going to pay tribute to the Queen?"

"I haven't been there for several days, so it's time to go and have a look."

"this--"

"Don't worry, ma'am," I smiled faintly, "It's just a matter of asking for peace, it's not a big deal."

She thought about it and called Su Su over and gave her a few instructions. Su Su also agreed. I handed the wonderful words to Madam Wu and took Su Su out.

Bypassing our yard and walking forward, we arrived at Chang Qing's residence.
