"The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away all the heroes. Whether it was right or wrong, success or failure, everything was gone. The green mountains were still there, and the sunset was red. White-haired fishermen and woodsmen on the river isles, used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine happy to meet, ancient and modern many things, all put in a joke.”When I wrote down the last sentence, I was filled with emotions. I had already been recuperating in the Misty Manor for more than half a year.
In this half a year, I have never seen Xuan Ling, and he has never stepped into my Misty Will Pavilion.
During this period of time, the Emperor doted on Zhen Huan, Concubine Hua, and the others, especially Zhen Huan. The emperor first gave Zhen Huan a pair of jade shoes. The shoes were embroidered with gold brocade, which could only be obtained by a hundred women in Shu after three years of embroidery. Later, Zhen Huan was allowed to enter and leave Yiyuan Hall at any time. Even the Empress and Concubine Hua did not have such a privilege. There were also rumors that Zhen Huan had participated in the government. No matter what, Zhen Huan was the most favored in the harem, and no one could compare to her.
Bao Juan couldn't help but worry,"Little Master, the Emperor hasn't come to the Mist Will Pavilion for almost half a year."”
I silently wrote.
Qiao Hui smiled and said,"Little Lord is not in a hurry, and this servant is not in a hurry."”
Xiao Shunzi also said in a worried tone,"It's just that he's been sick for too long, the emperor can't help but forget about little lord!"”
Xu Wanhai glanced at Xiao Shunzi, and Xiao Shunzi obediently shut up.
Bao Ying couldn't help but chime in,"Little Lord, this servant and the others are only worried about Little Lord!"”
Listening to their chatter, I couldn't calm down and write. I got up and walked to the soft couch. I slowly sat down and picked up a cup of tea. I took a sip and said coldly," In the past six months, what were you thinking?”
Baojuan and the others were stunned and didn't know what I meant. However, Xu Wanhai said calmly,"This servant thought that Little Master was just waiting for an opportunity. As for what Little Master is doing, this servant doesn't know." However, this servant thought that Little Master would always strike at its vital points.”
Qiao Hui smiled and probed,"It's just that in the past six months, the Emperor has only doted on Wan Pin." Qiao Hui didn't dare to continue under my increasingly cold gaze.
I didn't even look at them. I just played with my beautiful fingernails and said indifferently," I remember what I said before, right? Gathering three thousand favors in one person was also accumulating resentment in one person. The higher one was praised, the more miserable one would fall! Only the Emperor himself knew who was in his heart!”
Xu Wanhai smiled and said," Little Master is smart. We can't compare to you!”
Little Shunzi thought for a moment and said," Then when do you think it's an opportunity?”
A sharp look flashed across my eyes as I said coldly,"Soon!"”
Ever since the Mid-Autumn Family Banquet, Zhen Huan had been promoted to the title of Jieyu and then Concubine. It could be said that she had been unstoppable. Hehe, who knows how many concubines are envious? Including me, right? Yes, I think that includes me. Although I was so cold, I now understand the seven emotions and six desires. What is longing? What is not being able to get what you want? I have tasted all kinds of feelings in the past six months. Sometimes, I can't help but suspect that Xuan Ling has really forgotten about me. Why can't I help it? Because I realized that every time I wrote the words, they would disappear the next day. Bao Juan and the others were also confused, but I felt that it was him in my heart. It was Xuan Ling. He had never forgotten me. He only used this action to tell me that he had me in his heart.
However, no matter how much I wanted to catch this person, I never had the chance. She did not know how he did it! Sometimes, I even wonder if there's a thief or if I'm thinking too much. It's not him at all! But besides him, who else would steal my poem? Who else could it be? I can't think of anything. Every day, I live in disappointment and anticipation. Hehe, you ask me why I don't take the initiative? Time is not a problem. I will always have a way to regain his favor. If I can't get his heart, I can still get power. But do I have his heart just because I want it? I've never understood Xuan Ling's heart! I can even feel Xuan Ling's alienation towards me. Since he deliberately alienated me, why should I?
This man is really complicated. If I say that he has me in his heart, but he doesn't see me! If he doesn't have me in his heart, I can always feel that someone is silently watching my every move from behind. Other than Xuan Ling, I can't think of anyone who would care about a small noble like me! But why doesn't he want to see me? Xuan Ling! Xuan Ling, Xuan Ling. I don't love Xuan Ling. I just miss him every day.
In the blink of an eye, it was already winter.
I've been pretending to be ill and not going out. Little Shunzi found out that at the family banquet on the 30th of the year, Zhen Huan and Xuan Ling talked about the night rain of Mount Ba and presented osmanthus wine brewed together with the Emperor. For a time, they were in the limelight at the banquet and attracted the jealousy of the six palaces. On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, when they paid their respects to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager also expressed her joy for Zhen Huan and even asked Zhen Huan to accompany her every day and help her copy the scriptures.
The Empress Dowager never cared about worldly affairs and only focused on worshipping Buddha. Although copying Buddhist scriptures was boring, he could often approach the Empress Dowager and make her happy. As expected, the Empress Dowager was extremely fond of Zhen Huan. For a moment, countless beauties in the harem were envious.
It was snowing heavily outside the window, but it was not as cold as my heart. As expected, the heavens were heartless, but I was delusional. However, no matter what, I can't fight for favor now, or else my days will only be more difficult. Zhen Huan has completely alienated me, so I can't count on a vicious person like the Empress. Consort Hua will fall sooner or later, so I'm lucky that I'm not affected. If I were to fight for favor at this moment, with my humble background, no matter how much the Emperor dotes on me, he would not be able to protect me all the time. Moreover, who knows if he is really not interested in Zhen Huan?
Xuan Ling, since you've let me down, I won't have any delusions about you anymore!
He lazily covered himself with a blanket and leaned against the couch with a cup of hot tea in his hands. Although he was lonely this winter, it was still good! I'm Yi Xin and An Lingrong. Do I have to sacrifice my entire life for an animal that thinks with its lower body? So what if I'm sad for him or worried about him? Love and not love had always been very realistic! Loving and being loved was never fair! If the king is heartless, I will rest.
Ju Qing walked up and bowed with a smile." Young Master, Feng Shuyi is here to visit Young Master."”
I stretched out my jade fingers and gently rubbed my chin.”
"Younger Sister is really so idle. I can hear your lazy voice from afar!”Before the people arrived, they spoke first. Feng Shuyi held onto her pearl-like hand as she stood in front of me with a smile. There were still a few snowflakes on her body. Her face was red from the cold, but she was still very energetic.
"Sister Feng is the one who has the time.”I didn't care about the meaning behind her words. In short, I would deal with whatever came my way.
Feng Shuyi smiled elegantly." I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much!" I've prepared a small gift to show my respect!"
He looked up at a few pieces of cloud brocade and a black fox cloak. Although they were not extremely precious, they were not ordinary items. I said coldly,"Thank you for your concern, Sister Feng. Ling Rong is very good."”Kikukiyo had already left with a cup of hot tea.
"Why is Sister An always so cold?" Feng Shuyi asked cheerfully. Was it the same when facing the Emperor?”
I calmly took a sip of hot tea. Tie Guanyin was indeed fragrant and elegant. It was indeed worthy of being the moon dew of the seven bubbles. My heart was filled with joy. However, most of the concubines in the harem liked expensive tea like Lu 'an melon slices. Her red lips said indifferently,"It's easy to change a mountain, but it's hard to change a person's nature."”
Feng Shuyi was stunned for a moment before she laughed out loud." Sister An is indeed a wonderful person. Her serious look is really cute!"”
I ignored her and just stared at the snow outside the window. The vast expanse of whiteness seemed endless. The pomegranate flowers in the courtyard had long been covered in snow, and no scenery could be seen. The gray sky was filled with endless snow, and the wisps of snow were blown away by the wind.
Feng Shuyi wasn't angry. She continued to speak gently," Sister An, do you still remember our promise?”I didn't seem to hear anything. I vaguely heard a voice in my ear saying, No, you will never lose me!
Feng Shuyi saw that I was in a daze and asked in surprise,"What's wrong with Sister An? Are you feeling unwell?"
Hearing her gentle smile, I came back to my senses and said expressionlessly,"It's just a sick body."”
Feng Shuyi gently raised her hand and smiled,"Even though Younger Sister is sick, she is still extremely beautiful!"”
I casually instructed Ju Qing,"Ju Qing, prepare the chessboard."”
In a flash, the chessboard was already placed on the red sandalwood table on the soft couch.
It was still the same chessboard and the same person, but half a year had passed. The air was also filled with this coldness. It was no longer the weather of the full moon night.
Feng Shuyi smiled." It's still the same chessboard. You're still you, and I'm still me. I just didn't expect that half a year had passed.”
I raised my eyebrows and asked,"I wonder if Sister Feng's chess skills have improved in the past six months?"”
Feng Shuyi was stunned for a moment before she smiled." It's been a long time since we last met, but you're still as sharp-tongued as ever!" However, how could this chess skill be mastered overnight?”
I stopped talking and focused on playing chess. This time, she was black and I was white.
This game of chess lasted for four hours. Just like the game half a year ago, there was no attack, but all the traps and killing moves were resolved. This time, Feng Shuyi did not admit defeat. She continued playing.
Auspicious brain, gold-consuming beast. However, at this moment, he did not experience the concept within.
After a few entanglements, my sharpness is about to be exposed. Feng Shuyi, you have to watch carefully. No matter what you're thinking, I'll tell you this: I, An Lingrong, am not a pushover!
She took a few more steps, but Feng Shuyi's expression was very grim. Even Hanzhu and Juqing, who didn't know much about chess, felt something from the chessboard that made their hair stand on end.
The sword was unsheathed. It was sharp and ruthless. All the chess pieces that blocked it were killed without mercy. On the chessboard, there were more and more white words, and the number of black pieces kept decreasing. There was no longer any need to continue playing. It was a crushing defeat.
"I lost." Feng Shuyi said with difficulty. She was convinced that she had lost. Such fierce killing intent, such a sharp chess piece, and such a good hiding of the edge. If he didn't move, he would kill them all. What a ruthless chess piece. What soft? This move was too fierce. He did not expect such a cold person to have such profound chess skills!
I said expressionlessly,"I admit it." Juqing, clean up the chess game."
Feng Shuyi smiled bitterly." Although my Go skills aren't the best in the harem, the people who can compare to me are just so-so. I didn't expect my Go skills to be so weak in front of you! It seems that everyone has underestimated you!"
I raised my eyebrows and said coldly,"What did Sister Feng say? Ling Rong doesn't understand."”
Feng Shuyi smiled faintly, but she had already recovered her composure.”She thought to herself that this kind of scheming was really terrifying. She was probably hiding now.
I ignored her and just looked out the window. My chess style was something that I slowly figured out in my boring childhood in my previous life. I never let go of it for more than twenty years, and my style of chess is hidden edge. It looks weak and weak, but it's actually filled with killing intent.
Feng Shuyi smiled elegantly." Sister An, what are you looking at? Is there anything worth looking forward to outside the window?”After saying that, she looked out the window but still could not understand.
"I don't know that the graupel in the courtyard has fallen this morning. I suspect that the forest flowers bloomed last night.”He muttered, but his face was still cold.
Feng Shuyi looked at the snow outside the window with a sad expression." An inch of lovesickness has thousands of emotions. There's no place to arrange it in the world." Just like this snowflake, it came from the sky, but no one knew where it landed!”
I turned my head and looked at her in surprise." I won't be lovesick in my life. That's why I'm lovesick. That's why I'm lovesick." Sister Feng is thinking about the emperor?"
Feng Shuyi heard my explicit words and blushed slightly." You're already the emperor's concubine, but your mouth is still so sharp!"”Then, he said indifferently,"Why does the emperor need my concern?"”
Looking at her attitude, it must be that Heart Like Still Water loves Xuan Ling but is helpless, right? I looked at her firmly and said in a rare gentle tone,"Yearning is nothing." No matter what Sister Feng said, she still had to take care of her body!”
Feng Shuyi sneered," If I don't take care of myself, won't the Forbidden City have another soul?”Then, he shook his head and looked at me with worry in his eyes." Sister, this illness hasn't recovered yet. It's been hard on you!”
I said indifferently,"Who doesn't have a headache in this world?" It doesn't matter."
Feng Shuyi sighed slowly and said hesitantly," My sister has a delicate heart. If Shen Changzai was half as open-minded as you, her life would be much better!"”
I coldly replied,"People want to pray for their own good, but at the same time, they also want to cause trouble. This person is making life difficult for himself."”
Feng Shuyi giggled and said,"I'm afraid Shen Changzai has already…" She looked around and stuttered,"She's also pitiful. She used to be so pampered, but now she's still living like a walking corpse every day."”
I supported my cheek with one hand and said," Where there are people, there will be struggles. There is no medicine more precious than confidence in this world!”
Feng Shuyi looked at me in surprise and said,"Shen Changzai's health is indeed deteriorating. Fortunately, he has Wanpin to help him and sent Imperial Physician Wen to take good care of him."”
I raised my eyebrows and said coldly,"Doctor Wen?" Your medical skills are indeed excellent."
Feng Shuyi smiled elegantly." Sister, do you think there's something wrong? However, Imperial Physician Wen had always followed Wan Pin's lead! It was naturally good to have confidants and allies in the harem!”After saying that, he carefully observed my expression.
I raised my eyebrows and said coldly,"The world is unpredictable. Who can say what is certain?"”
When Feng Shuyi heard my unmoved attitude, she held my hand tightly and said with a serious expression," In this harem, you and I will probably have to endure for the rest of our lives. The night is long and lonely. I am willing to endure it with you!”
I expressionlessly said,"Sister's kindness, Ling Rong can't bear it!"”He flicked his fingers and said word by word under her nervous gaze,"But if I have sister's company, I think my future will be even more exciting, right?"”
Feng Shuyi smiled and said sincerely," Of course I treat you well!”
The good times didn't last long. A plague suddenly broke out in the harem and came menacingly. By the time it was discovered, it was already too late.
