The leaves fall without parallel

The emperor helped the kneeling concubine up and said

"In a few days, it will be the Queen Mother's birthday. All the civil and military officials will come with their families to celebrate. Please help Che'er find some girls from the official families."

"Yes, I understand."

Alas, the emperor sighed. None of these princes are worry-free. Now, except for the eldest prince and a little princess, there are no other children. When will he be able to hold his grandson? He is really going to be mad at him because of these useless sons.

"I haven't eaten the osmanthus cake from Concubine Shu's palace for a long time."

"Look, I'm so confused that I forgot to prepare the osmanthus flowers. I don't know when the emperor will come, so I prepare osmanthus cakes every day. Baiji, go get the osmanthus cakes."

"Yes, ma'am"

After a while, the maid brought the osmanthus cake.

"Your Majesty, please try it."

The emperor took a piece and put it in his mouth

"Hmm, it's still the same taste. The sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by Concubine Shu, I never get tired of it no matter how much I eat it."

The emperor praised repeatedly

"As long as the emperor likes it, I will do it every day, just waiting for the emperor to come."

The emperor smiled

"I still have official business to attend to, so I won't accompany Concubine Shu."

After saying that, he strode away

"I respectfully send you to the Emperor"

Concubine Shu stood up to see him off. After the emperor left, the maid helped Concubine Shu up.

"Your Highness, you see, the prince still has you in his heart."

"It would be beneficial for him to do this, but he always makes his own decisions. If I were to take the initiative to arrange his marriage, I'm afraid it would only make him more disgusted."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. At the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, you can secretly observe which girl the Prince is interested in, and then follow the flow. The Prince will be grateful to you."

"This is the only way for now. If I ask him directly, it will only make him unhappy."

As Xiao Lingche's adoptive mother, she should arrange a marriage for him, but she is afraid that he will not appreciate it, which puts her in a dilemma.

Western suburbs outside the capital

Ye Qingge had been traveling for a long time and the horse was tired, so he stopped by a stream to let the horse replenish its energy.

She sat by the stream while the horse was eating grass nearby. She picked up the water given to her by the shopkeeper, tilted her head back, and gulped down a few mouthfuls. She felt much better. It was too tiring to run outside in such hot weather. Once again, she missed the modern wifi, air conditioning, and watermelon. A cup of iced milk tea would be so comfortable.

She really didn't want to stay in this ancient world any longer. She had to ride a horse to go out, which was so inconvenient. She couldn't find anyone she wanted to find. It was something that could be done with just a phone call, but now she had to suffer this. It was really not easy for her to get here.

She has been in danger several times. If she hadn't been lucky, she probably wouldn't be alive until now. Now she doesn't know where the original owner's father is. She can only try her luck. If she's lucky, she might meet him. If she's unlucky, she can only go back to Beijing and sit at the door and wait.

Why is her life so miserable? Tears welled up in her eyes. She hugged her legs with her hands, buried her head in her knees, and her body trembled slightly.

The man not far away looked at the person in front of him and felt heartbroken. He knew she was crying, but he didn't dare to show up. She fled desperately, probably because she didn't want to see him again.

He could only watch helplessly. She looked so helpless, having gone through so much yet still smiling happily every day. Now she must have given up. No ordinary person had her perseverance. He wondered what she was thinking, and whether it had anything to do with him...

"Master, the matter has been settled. General Ye and his entourage have already taken this official road and should arrive within three days."

Xuan Lie appeared behind him and reported to the man

"Um"

The man under the mask responded and continued to look at the person in front of him.

"One more thing"

"Say"

"The Queen Mother's birthday is coming up in a few days, and the Emperor wants you to go back."

Xuan Lie reported carefully, stealing a glance at his master's face. In the past, his master had always been reluctant to attend such banquets. He was taciturn and always seemed out of place. Over time, no one spoke to him anymore, and he no longer liked going to such banquets.

But now the master's leg is healed. Those who are waiting to see the master make a fool of himself can just wait to be slapped in the face. No one can shake the master's position, and he is still the master of the East Palace.

"understood"

The man responded softly

"Will you go?"

"Go, of course I will go."

This time, General Ye returned to Beijing and brought back a daughter. He would definitely announce it to the world and take her to banquets to meet various princes and nobles. Then you would be able to see her.

He was worried that Xiao Lingche would also see her by then, and would he... It would be better if Xiao Lingche had never seen her true appearance.

Hearing that his master was going to the banquet, Xuan Lie was very happy because then his master could finally kill everyone...

The man looked at Xuan Lie's happy face and knew what he was thinking.

"When I go back this time, I can't announce that my leg has healed. I have to continue using a wheelchair."

"Why, Master..."

Xuan Lie didn't understand why his master didn't want to make it public. He wanted to see with his own eyes those who had laughed at them regret what they had done.

"I know what you're thinking. I've made fun of you and wronged you all these years. But I have something important to do when I return this time. If my leg is healed, I probably won't be able to do this."

"Master, I follow you willingly. I am not afraid of being laughed at by others, but I am worried that you will be wronged."

"You've come this far over the years, are you still afraid of this injustice?"

You are right. Anyway, the master's leg is healed. One day, everyone will know about it. By then, you will be shocked.

"Master, what are you going to do? Why do you have to be in a wheelchair to do it?"

The man looked at the person in front of him, his eyes full of tenderness, but his voice was firm.

"break off an engagement!"

When he was little, his mother arranged a marriage for him because of her so-called sisterly love. Lin Ruoyue had been arrogant and domineering since she was little. Before he got into trouble, she would hang around him all day and he couldn't get rid of her. But after he couldn't walk anymore, she turned around and went to find Xiao Lingche. Even her mother stopped being close to him.

He didn't like Lin Ruoyue in the first place and had been annoyed with her since childhood. Fortunately, she later went to annoy Xiao Lingche. Xiao Lingche also let her follow him. Due to the shackles of marriage, he suffered a lot of jokes for no reason.

Not only that, that cruel woman has hurt Ye Qingge again and again, and one day he will make her pay the price for what she has done.

"Pass the order down. Hua Manlou is not allowed to accept any orders from Lin Ruoyue anymore."

"Yes, master"

Generally, small tasks do not require the approval of the host, so the people in Hua Manlou took tasks randomly and accidentally injured Ye Qingge. The master has been blaming himself for this matter. Although the master punished those people, the damage has been done. Miss Ye must think that the host instructed them to do so. This misunderstanding is really too big.

And that Lin Ruoyue didn't take the master seriously at all. She was clearly engaged, but she still tried to seduce Prince Xuan. How shameless! Fortunately, the master was wise and broke off the engagement with her this time. That woman was not worthy of the master at all.
