The Queen sealed her heart and locked up her love, and the Emperor was trapped in the crematorium

"It's just a small kite. Please don't refuse it, Miss Xie."

Yuan Nanzhi has curved eyebrows and eyes, and her eyes seem to be filled with a pool of spring water, sparkling.

"Could it be that you dislike this kite and think it's ugly?"

Xie Yaoqing shook her head slightly, indicating that she did not mean to be disgusted.

When Yuan Nanzhi saw that she accepted it, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

"Since we have met by chance, why don't we fly kites together?" Yuan Nanzhi suggested.

Xie Yaoqing readily agreed, and the two kites flew into the sky.

Watching the kite flying higher and higher and farther away, Xie Yaoqing suddenly discovered that the string of Yuan Nanzhi's kite seemed to be breaking.

"Be careful." Xie Yaoqing shouted.

But it was too late. With a snap, the kite's string broke, and the kite was blown by the wind, swaying and flying farther away.

Xie Yaoqing retracted her gaze and turned to look at Yuan Nanzhi, seeing her looking into the distance calmly. She suddenly realized that Yuan Nanzhi had deliberately let the kite fly away.

There is a folk saying that if someone in your family is sick, you can fly a kite for him. If the kite flies away, it means that the illness will disappear with it, which is a good wish.

"Are you doing well after leaving the palace?" Xie Yaoqing asked softly.

Yuan Nanzhi raised the corners of her lips and smiled, "Well, very good. The world outside the palace is indeed wider. I have to thank that generous person in the palace. I don't have to worry about food and clothing in this life."

Women who have entered the palace would not dare to ask for marriage easily, but marriage was not a big deal to Yuan Nanzhi. She entered the palace to accompany the emperor in the past purely for the honor of her family. Now that she was free and had money, she didn't care whether anyone was willing to marry her. Anyway, she could live well alone, free and unrestrained.

Yuan Nanzhi enthusiastically told Xie Yaoqing that he was about to leave Beijing and travel around the world.

"I have decided that after a while, I will leave the capital and go out for a walk. I want to enjoy the most beautiful scenery, climb the highest mountains, drink the strongest wine, and eat the most delicious food..."

She spoke with great excitement, as if she had already seen the beautiful scenery and delicious food.

"I have been to the deserts with yellow sand all over the sky and endless Gobi, but I have not been to the misty and poetic water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. The world is so big, and the customs and people are so different. If you don't travel around when you are young, it will be too late to be accompanied by the world and live a carefree life when you are deaf, blind, and have a hunched back."

Yuan Nanzhi's eyes were firm and bright, full of expectations and yearning for the future. The heroic spirit in her tone was no less than that of any man in the world. The spirit flying between her brows was so dazzling, as if she was an eagle soaring in the sky.

Xie Yaoqing was moved by Yuan Nanzhi like this. She had never seen such a free and easy woman, nor had she ever thought that a woman could live so freely and unrestrainedly. She was filled with emotion.

She seemed to have gotten to know Yuan Nanzhi all over again. In her past life and this life, she had never realized that Yuan Nanzhi was such a free and unrestrained person. If such a free and unrestrained person was trapped in the small world of the palace, it would undoubtedly be a kind of bondage and confinement.

Did Concubine Zhuang in her previous life waste decades of her life in the imperial palace? Or did she finally realize her wish and live the life she wanted?

No matter what her past life was like, Yuan Nanzhi now has a better life by chance, which at least meets her expectations.

"Miss Yuan has a great heart. I hope you will be successful this time and all your wishes will come true."

Xie Yaoqing sincerely wishes Yuan Nanzhi well.

At the same time, she felt a little envious. She envied Yuan Nanzhi for being able to be free and do whatever she wanted, to go to the Jiangnan water town she longed for, to enjoy the beautiful scenery she longed for, to climb the mountains she wanted to climb, and to taste her favorite wine...

"Thank you for your good wishes, Your Majesty." Yuan Nanzhi blurted out, but then realized that she had said the wrong thing.

Xie Yaoqing had a smile on her face and didn't care what Yuan Nanzhi called her. There was no one around anyway, so it didn't matter what Yuan Nanzhi called her.

"Is the queen all right in the palace?"

Since leaving the palace, Yuan Nanzhi realized how powerful the rumors in the capital were. There were all kinds of rumors, including some that were unfavorable to Xie Yaoqing.

However, the overall trend of public opinion has changed. In the past six months, many large and small events have occurred in the capital, providing people with more topics and objects of discussion, thus greatly reducing the attention paid to Xie Yaoqing personally.

After thinking for a moment, Xie Yaoqing said ambiguously: "It's okay."

This answer can neither be said to be good nor bad. Except for feeling a little bored and depressed when facing Xiao Chengxu, Xie Yaoqing's life is quite satisfactory at other times. Especially in recent times, her life has been pretty good.

Yuan Nanzhi raised his eyebrows, his eyes moved slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression.

I thought there were no other concubines in the palace, and the emperor and empress should be deeply in love. But now it seems that this is not the case.
