Lord, don't chase me, I want to go back to modern times

Chunrui didn't care, but took a deep look at me and let out a breath of cool air, then leaned lightly on the sable fur chair, seeming a little tired.

I walked up to her and gently squeezed her shoulder, which she used to do for me.

But Chunrui froze for a moment when I touched it, and then relaxed.

"Xin'er, what should I do? I'm becoming more and more curious about you." Although she smiled, I could feel the bitterness behind this sentence, "Although you have an ordinary face, you can't let people Ignoring your existence, I will never be able to compare your temperament, even Mrs. Ya is inferior to you. What I am curious about is why you entered the palace, why you helped me, why... I always treat you Deja vu?"

She seemed to be whispering to herself, and seemed to be questioning me rather than asking.

"I don't know how to answer your empress's doubts." I sighed softly, and my heart became more and more depressed, not only because of being persecuted by this oppressive harem, but also because of the people in front of me.

"Xin'er, how long have you been in the palace?" She stopped the topic just now and asked in a casual state.

"It's been three months since I returned to your mother." I replied softly.

"It's been three months..." Chunrui seemed to be sighing and regretting something, and then gently held my hand that was massaging her, "Xin'er should be a girl from an official family."

Hearing her words, my heart moved unconsciously, and as her eyes looked at my pair of delicate and white hands, they had become a little rough at this time.

What is she testing?
I smiled faintly, and withdrew my hand, "Go back to your mother, how can a maidservant have such a good life, but my father is in the business of a pharmacy, and later the business is not good, so he sent me to the palace!"

I made it up lightly. I am very confident that Chunrui will suspect me and investigate. When the officers and soldiers sent me to the palace, they all entered the palace as family members of merchants. None of them would be stupid. Said that we were forcibly taken into the palace!

"Oh..." Chunrui seemed to believe my words, and didn't ask anything.

After a while, Chunrui spoke again, "Xin'er, tomorrow you take the token and go out of the palace to find someone for me, see if you can still find someone."

Looking for someone?I looked at Chun Rui with some doubts.

"After you leave the palace, go to a place called 'Jinyun Tower' and see if there is a shopkeeper surnamed Sun coming back there." Chunrui said lightly, as if wanting to rest, "Tired, tomorrow You can go directly in the morning."

I nodded and exited the room.

Jinyun Building?Wasn't it burned down by the fire?
I was puzzled in my heart, but I was a little happy about her arrangement. After all, I have been wanting to visit for so long since I came back, but after I entered the palace, it was like a bird in a cage. You can't just get out if you want!

That night, I heard the news that Mrs. Ya was pregnant for more than a month. The emperor will hold a banquet at the Palace of Thousand Birds tomorrow night, and invite all the concubines to the banquet. After all, Mrs. Ya is the first A concubine who conceived an heir for the emperor made the imperial power more stable.

This news is not good news for me or Chunrui.

The next day, I prepared my things early and left the palace with the token of Xinyue Palace.

After leaving the palace, I arrived at the place where Jinyun Building was originally opened.

Looking at the Jinyun Building in front of me, which is still exactly the same as before, my eyes suddenly became moist.

"Miss, come in and have some food, our shop has special dishes today!"

Seeing me standing in the doorway in a daze, Xiaoer rushed out to greet me.

I nodded and walked in following his greeting.

The decoration of Jinyun Building today is very different from that of the past, but the general appearance of the past has not changed.

"What do you want?" Xiaoer stood beside me, looking at me flatteringly, seeing that my clothes were not ordinary.

"Whatever." I nodded casually, then looked around and found that none of the mistresses around me knew me.

It seems that after the Jinyun Tower fire, a new batch of people have been replaced here. It is estimated that according to Xiao Jincheng's thoughts, the Jinyun Tower and Yingge Garden should have been merged into one!

Looking at the current scenery of Jinyun Tower, it should not be affected much.

"Come here, crispy southern duck, Songhua Xiaozao, and a plate of peanuts."

Not long after, Xiao Er brought the side dishes directly to the table.

"May I ask what is the last name of your shopkeeper here?" I pretended to have no intention of asking.

"Shopkeeper Li, Li Guohai! Our shopkeeper is the original manager of Hongyan Building!" Before I could ask, Xiao Er said it by himself.

Unsurprisingly, as I expected.

"Then where was Shopkeeper Sun from Jinyun Building before?" He asked tentatively.

"Shopkeeper Sun?" Xiao Er looked puzzled, obviously never heard of this name, "I don't know, since I came here, I have always been Shopkeeper Li."

I nodded, until Xiao Er left, my mind was still thinking about the current whereabouts of shopkeeper Sun.

The original Jinyun Tower is gone, and there is no trace of the former Jinyun Tower anymore. Although the general appearance has not changed, no matter where I look, it is strange.

I took a simple bite and left Jinyun Tower. I hesitated for a long time outside Anfu but didn't have the courage to go in. I didn't return to the palace until sunset.

Tonight's banquet, I have to accompany Chunrui to attend.

After returning, Chunrui and I briefly reported today's itinerary, and then prepared to dress up for her, but she refused.

All she wanted was to cover up the scars on her face, and Xiao Qian and I simply followed her request.

In fact, I understand her intentions, she just doesn't want to compete with the concubines in the palace. In this harem, there are very few women who don't have desires like Chunrui, scheming, palace, and simple.

Xiao Qian and I accompanied her to the Palace of Thousand Birds, where there were no less than twenty concubines, each of them extremely beautiful, competing for beauty.

Sitting on the left side of the emperor is Xia Yu, Concubine Xia, although she is not very old, but her face is more calm, and she is not the same as the girl who bickered with me back then.

It's different to be a noble concubine. No matter in reality or in makeup, she gives people a noble temperament without anger.

From the mouths of the people in the palace, I learned something about her condition.

I heard that she is not favored, the emperor only returns to her palace occasionally, he was very arrogant before the promotion, but restrained a lot after the promotion.

Outsiders think that it is because of the change of status that Xia Yu restrained herself, but I don't think so. There is absolutely no one who can satisfy her around her, maybe there is a master standing behind her.

Mrs. Ya has a high nose bridge, a slim waist, charming eyes, flowery lips and teeth, plus today is a happy day for her, so there are bursts of pride in her eyebrows and eyes.

I don't know the whole list of other people. To put it simply, there are Zhaoyi, nobles, beauties, and talented people. There are many of them. Each one is as beautiful as orchid, fragrant and tender.

Seeing this group of women scratching their heads and posing shyly, looking shyly at Xiao Jincheng who was sitting on the chair, I smiled sarcasticly in my heart.

It seems that in this short period of about one year, he has lived recklessly!
Although I was ironic in my heart, I couldn't help looking at the man on the dragon chair. His handsome eyes, dragon and phoenix posture, eyes like a deep pool, bright teeth and vermilion lips, exuded the air of a king from all over his body, which made people feel envious. Dare to watch from afar but not to profane.

At this moment, Xia Yu was talking to him. Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at where I was standing. His gaze was fixed on me, not anyone else.

Maybe it was his dark eyes that attracted me, maybe it was the sarcasm in my heart that he saw through. At this moment, our eyes directly touched each other, and neither of us took it back.

"Xin'er, among these women, am I the ugliest?" Chunrui's voice woke me up, I quickly turned my eyes away, and replied with an unnatural expression, "Your Majesty, you have to have confidence in yourself. It shouldn't always be this pessimistic."

I slowly clenched my hand hidden in my sleeve, could Xiao Jincheng see my sarcasm?The moment I was stared at so deeply by him, I felt like he could read my mind, seeing me thoroughly.

Those scrutinizing eyes inexplicably made me flustered.

This dinner ended peacefully and comfortably, Mrs. Ya was personally escorted back to her room by the emperor, and the other concubines also went back to the palace after seeing this.

I just wanted to help Chunrui leave, but Xia Yu stopped me.

Chunrui was invited by Xia Yu to Xiahe Palace. Along the way, she just chatted and asked Chunrui a few words, and occasionally would comfort her. She was neither mean nor sarcastic, but I knew that she would definitely keep Chunrui today. It's not that simple.

……

As the evening wind blew gently, I unconsciously closed my clothes and stood outside the Lily Palace waiting for Chunrui to come out.

Suddenly, a tall person in front of me was affected by me and walked towards me. When I saw Yeluqi, I quickly lowered my head, not daring to look at him, and immediately remembered what he said to me after he hugged me in his arms on Mid-Autumn Night.

"As long as you are willing, I think the emperor wants you now and will take you out."

For a moment, I was shaken and wanted to say yes, but I refused.

Now Chunrui is trapped in this cage because of me, if I leave again, don’t I have to abandon her again, I can’t do such a thing, and I know what Yeluqi’s words mean, I also understand his feelings for me. If I really leave with him, then I will pretend to be someone other than Xiao Jincheng in my heart. I can't do such a half-hearted thing. It can't be done!

"No, I won't go." I refused decisively.

"Because of Chunrui or because of Xiao Jincheng?" His voice was cold and low.

"Xiao Jincheng." I said it without hesitation, but after listening to it, he just smiled, very lightly, with a hint of arrogance, this is the first time I have seen such an expression.
