Xiao Chen seemed to see him curling the corners of his mouth slightly, then put one hand on her waist, as if provocative, he kissed her lips, no longer like a dragonfly just now, but inseparable.

He saw her open her eyes, frowning slightly, and pausing, but finally he followed him again.

Xiao Chen trembled and let go of the plum blossom, his face pale in an instant. He couldn't help but take two steps back and leaned against the plum tree, as if he was self-abuse. He stared at the two people inside.

He saw her increasingly reddish lips, even the best rouge was not as good as the ones. The man gently wiped the remaining wetness from the corners of her mouth with his fingertips.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, but he seemed to be unable to feel it, leaning there with his eyes blankly.

"Young Master Xiao, why are you here?"

He was seen by the palace servants and screamed at the two people in the room. She turned her head slightly, with a slight surprise in her eyes. But in just a moment, she returned to nature. She patted Eunuch Fu very calmly, leaned on the soft couch and looked at him quietly.

He doesn't move.

She seemed to be a little impatient to wait, turned to Eunuch Fu and said something, then took the tea from the palace servant and stopped looking at him.

Xiao Chen only felt the bitterness spread in his mouth.

He didn't know why she did this, which made him think he was very important, but told him the next moment that he was just being self-indulgent.

Eunuch Fu walked out, his face as usual, and even his movements of swaying the whisk did not change, "Young Master Xiao, Empress Dowager invites you in."

Xiao Chen looked at him with a slight gloom in his eyes, but he turned a blind eye.

Xiao Chen suddenly felt ridiculous. He believed that he had extraordinary observation skills. He had not discovered that she and him were like this for so long.

Is it because they kept it too well, or is it because he was too depressed and unwilling to discover it?

He couldn't help but say, "Eunuch Fu is good at it."

Xiao Fuzi smiled, "Young Master Xiao is too awarded, not as good as Young Master Xiao."

The hands in the sleeves were tightly pinched, but he had no choice but to take care of him. He turned his head and looked into the window. She seemed to have not noticed what happened here, and was still drinking her tea with her. The mist was wisps. She slightly closed her eyebrows, light and shallow, but as beautiful as a painting.

He stopped talking to Xiao Fuzi and stepped into the inner hall stiffly.

The palace servants retreated, and the only two of them were left in the inner hall.

Xiao Chen lowered his head and said nothing.

Luo Ran stroked his right hand, where the broken nails had grown again, and he applied the elixir, making his jade hands look whiter and tenderer.

She looked up, glanced at him, and chuckled, "What? Xiao Chen is here to get angry with this palace?"

Xiao Chen's eyelashes trembled slightly. Listening to her words, a trace of depression rose in her heart irresistible, but for some reason, he could only say dryly, "Xiao Chen doesn't dare."

There was no sound in the hall for a long time. He couldn't help but look up, but he was not afraid that there was a beautiful woman standing in front of him. He wanted to take two steps back, but she hooked her sleeves. She obviously didn't use force, but he seemed to be under a thousand pounds of force and no longer had any movement.

She leaned closer to him, her delicate lips were right in front of her, and she opened and closed, "You have been out for so long, why are you still angry?"

Xiao Chen only felt dry in his eyes. He couldn't help but look up at her. There seemed to be a smile in her eyes, but he only felt cold.

His voice was hoarse and not nice, and he also had a little smell of wine. "Empress, if you want Xiao Chen to stay in the palace, why should you give Xiao Chen a chance?"

She frowned and looked at him, with a graceful dissatisfaction in her eyes, as if she was accusing him of not knowing the good people’s hearts. "You are depressed in the palace every day, but I see it in my eyes, how can I bear it?"

She put one hand on his chest, gently slid down her index finger, and then took it back. Her words continued, and she leaned closer to him, and warm moisture spilled in his ears, "I feel sorry for you."

She seemed to lean in his arms with silence, and her words were still pity. However, Xiao Chen's eyes fell behind her, and on the soft couch, there was pain in his eyes. It was different from when he refused Shi Nianshuang at that time. He suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

He opened his dry eyes and did not dare to blink. He was afraid that tears would fall in the blink of an eye. He said in a hoarse voice, "Xiao Chen can't bear it."

She paused her movements against his shoulder, then took a step back, looked at him, her face becoming light and "Are you blaming me?"

"Xiao Chen dares not."

"It seems to be."

She retreated back to the soft couch, as if the actions just now did not exist. She carefully wiped every finger with a handkerchief, looking extremely serious, and in her spare time, she asked him carelessly.

"Since that's the case, what are you going to do in the palace today?"

Xiao Chen held his hands tightly, resisting the urge to hold her up just now, "It's the Empress who wants Xiao Chen to enter the palace."

Luo Ran paused his movements and threw away his handkerchief, "Are you wronged?"

"No."

His eyes fell on the veil and bit his tongue. He did not feel wronged. He just didn't expect that after he entered the palace, he would see that scene, which caught him off guard.

When Luo Ran heard him say no, he didn't even look at whether he was right or wrong. He glanced at him, then moved his fingertips and pointed to the soft couch beside him, meaning self-evident.

Xiao Chen turned his gaze over, and seemed to think of the scene he had just seen. His face turned pale and there was a clear rejection in his eyes. "Empress, Xiao Chen is not feeling well."

Luo Ran raised her eyes and seemed to have squandered her interest, "Then are you going to leave the palace now?"

Xiao Chen's expression froze. He didn't expect her to ask this. He thought that she would not let him leave after all this effort.

He asked her, "Will the Empress ask Xiao Chen to leave the palace?"

"meeting."

She spoke without hesitation, and her eyes were not fluctuating. It seemed that she didn't care if he left and he stayed.

Xiao Chen felt a pain in his palms in his sleeves. He looked at her ruthless face and for a moment he didn't know what he just asked, what he wanted.

At least, he knew that the moment she said "will" he was not happy.

He said with difficulty, "Xiao Chen thanked the Empress."

"No need to thank you." She raised her plain hand lightly, and the red shiny floated by, and seemed to remember something. Her eyes raised lightly, and she looked at her with a look, reminding her, "I left this time, and the palace is not so easy to come in."

Xiao Chen felt a stagnant and couldn't help but look up at her, but saw her smiling as cutely as Yan. But he knew that what she said was true, she didn't have much patience to play with him. Such a trick would be enough for one time.

He seemed to be deflated, took a step back and compromised, "What do you think of Xiao Chen?"

The soft couch leaned against the window, Luo Ran reached out and caught a snowflake. Seeing it melt instantly, there was a trace of coldness left. She pulled her red lips lightly

"This deep palace is long and very lonely, but I have been here for nearly seven years. I just met Kexin's people and wanted to stay."

After saying that, she closed her movements, looked at him with a beautiful eye, and asked him with a chuckle, "What do Xiao Chen think?"

"A man of love?"

His eyelashes trembled, and he said this, not sure whether he was mocking her or mocking him.

"If this is not the case, how could I have such a hard time? Not everyone can let me take the official position to play with him."

She spoke casually, but seemed to be explaining the facts.

He looked at her light-hearted look and pulled the corners of his mouth, feeling very powerless.

She hooked her finger at him again, as if she had no idea of ​​his pain.

Xiao Chen looked at her for a long time and walked towards her very slowly. Without looking at the soft couch, he knelt beside her and felt her hands fall on his head. He suddenly felt his eyes were wet.

He asked her in a hoarse voice, "Empress, what would happen if Xiao Chen had not left the palace?"

Her hand gently stroked his hair and slowly answered his question, "Be good people will naturally receive rewards."

Xiao Chen closed his eyes and leaned against her knees. He suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted. He could not deny that when he heard her say "This deep palace is long and very lonely", a ripples appeared in his heart, as if he was pity.

But when he reacted, why should he pity her? Didn’t he enter the palace for power? What’s wrong now?

"Empress, do you remember, did you ask me what I wanted?"

Luo Ran paused his movements, and the look in her eyes moved slightly when he couldn't see them, and then she returned to calm. "Remember."

Xiao Chen seemed to feel nothing. He looked up at her, and there seemed to be a wet feeling in his eyes. "If Xiao Chen asked, can the Empress obey me?"

She looked at him with her lips pursed, and finally nodded "Yun."

He finally smiled, "Okay, the empress said that the deep palace is lonely, Xiao Chen volunteered to accompany the empress, but he only thought that Xiao Chen was the only one by the empress."

He never thought that even the gradually declining Prince An's mansion could hear the news and send him into the palace. What about the others?

How could she be the only one with herself?

Now there is just one Eunuch Fu. Is there still Eunuch De? Eunuch Zhang?

Luo Ran slightly closed her eyebrows and looked outside. It was silent outside, but they all knew that Xiao Fuzi was outside.

Xiao Chen looked at her quietly, waiting for her answer.

He also wanted to know how much thought this "sigh" could have?

Luo Ran closed his sight, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became silent. Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel nervous. If so, what could he do if she refused?

"allow."

The sound of her response came, and he was still a little disbelief. The hands he had been holding tightly could finally be released. He pulled the hem of her clothes with one hand, darkening the color of her red gauze, and couldn't help but lie on her knees, and remained silent for a long time.

Luo Ran seemed to have not broken his promise. After responding to Xiao Chen, he obviously alienated Xiao Fuzi, but did not send Xiao Fuzi away.

Xiao Chen moved into Jinning Palace again.

Luo Ran seemed to like him very much and always had close actions with him, but Xiao Chen was not too happy.

He could always see Xiao Fuzi, and the scene of that day was lingering in his mind.

Until one day, he was in Jinning Palace and suddenly heard a familiar voice

"Xiao Chen!"

There were very few palace people in Jinning Palace. Xiao Chen was standing under the plum forest in the palace at this time. When he heard this sound, he frowned and his thoughts disappeared. He turned around and looked at the much haggard woman without any surprise in his eyes.

He bowed to "Meet the eldest princess!"

Shi Nianshuang walked towards him step by step, but she never expected that he would enter the palace!

She looked at his cold expression. For some reason, his figure became thinner and thinner, and her eyes were slightly red. She thought that seeing him again would have hated him very much, but now, when she looked at him, she felt heartbroken and still had some gratitude.

Fortunately, I can still see him.
