Ji Xingyao was afraid that the rock sugar bird's nest soup would get cold, so he didn't stay for too long and went straight back to Yonghe Palace.

There have been a lot of people coming in and out of Yonghe Palace recently, and Li Zhao has had people send a lot of rewards one after another. Wen Yuan didn't even look at them and had them all moved into the warehouse.

At this time, the clothing department was taking Wen Yuan's measurements.

The couch was covered in a variety of fabrics, and at first glance, the quality was excellent.

"The Queen is about to give birth, why do you need to measure the size?" Ji Xingyao asked curiously.

Nanny Li smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits. "How can we, servants, know the Emperor's thoughts? After all, it's all about doting on the Empress. The Emperor has sent all the best things to our palace."

She knew in her heart that this was the phoenix robe prepared for the Empress to be crowned empress. However, she couldn't speak out loud until the imperial edict arrived. After all, it was only a matter of one or two days, so there was no rush.

Nanny Li was so cheerful as to greet and see off guests that her face was almost frozen from smiling.

Ji Xingyao glanced at the fabric and felt a sense of irony. A few days ago, the Mingyue Palace had a similar scene at the opera.

The people in the harem are really forgetful.

The emperor's favor was like a fleeting wind. The last woman who had received his favor was now imprisoned in the imperial prison, awaiting punishment. As soon as the imperial concubine lifted the ban, the wind in the palace immediately changed.

The palace maid who had secretly mocked the imperial concubine's fall from favor often gave Ji Xingyao some small favors and said a lot of nice words, and finally secretly added that she wanted to work in Yonghe Palace.

Ji Xingyao scoffed at this behavior.

They were fence-sitters who swayed between two sides. Having seen the wickedness of human nature, Ji Xingyao was too lazy to pay attention to them.

"My Lady, the bird's nest soup is getting cold. Please drink some first."

"Ah."

Wen Yuan's legs would become sore if he stood for a long time. The clothing department measured the clothes very carefully, and Wen Yuan was so tired from lifting his hands.

The female official tactfully stopped what she was doing and stepped aside to wait for the imperial concubine.

The soup was brought to my mouth, neither too hot nor too cold, just right.

The taste was smooth and velvety, and Wen Yuan drank a small bowl of it, which was rare for him.

He was busy all day, and at night, Ji Xingyao tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

Wen Yuan took a nap and when he woke up, he found that Ji Xingyao was still awake.

"Xingyao, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Did I disturb you?"

"No, I woke up."

Pregnant women who are about to give birth rarely get a full night's sleep and always wake up several times in the middle of the night.

Ji Xingyao looked at the ceiling of the bed and said after a long while, "Ayuan, I'm leaving the day after tomorrow."

Ji Xingyao was very depressed because until now, she still had no way to help Wen Yuan leave.

"The day after tomorrow? So soon?" Wen Yuan woke up all of a sudden.

These days, she always deliberately blurred the time and didn't think about when Ji Xingyao left.

Unexpectedly, it will happen the day after tomorrow.

Ji Xingyao also felt that time was passing too quickly. She tried to negotiate with the system to see if she could extend the ticket period, but the system flatly refused.

No matter how reluctant she was, she had to make plans to leave.

"Tomorrow, find a reason to send me out of the palace. Otherwise, if I disappear in Yonghe Palace for no reason, you will have a hard time explaining it."

Especially Li Heng, who stares at her every day and makes his presence felt from time to time these days.

Although Ji Xingyao ignored him, once she disappeared, Li Heng would definitely look for Wen Yuan first.

She couldn't leave to bring trouble to Wen Yuan. After thinking it over, she decided that it would be best if she found a secluded place outside the palace and disappeared quietly.

......

Wen Yuan felt like a huge stone was blocking his heart.

Ji Xingyao had already thought of a way to leave, and Wen Yuan only realized belatedly that he was so immersed in the depression of being unable to leave that he had not made arrangements for her in advance.

"Okay, be well when you go back, and don't think about coming to see me again."

Ji Xingyao didn't say yes or no, she suddenly changed the subject:

"Ayuan, do you still remember my cell phone number?"

Mobile phone number, such a strange word.

Wen Yuan was stunned for a moment.

I once thought I would never forget something, but now no matter how hard I try, I can’t piece together the correct order of the eleven digits.

Ji Xingyao seemed to have anticipated this result: "Forget it, it's 189*******."

Yes, after this reminder, the fragments deep in Wen Yuan’s memory were finally restored.

"189*******, remember that."

Wen Yuan repeated it twice and replied.

After confirming that she remembered correctly, Ji Xingyao said, "Remember, if you go back, call me immediately and I will come to find you as soon as possible."

Wen Yuan no longer held out any hope of returning: "Then I have to find a piece of paper to copy it down, otherwise who will remember it in ten or twenty years."

Ji Xingyao laughed out loud: "You were famous for your good memory when you were a child, you will definitely remember it."

Wen Yuan also laughed out loud, and beautiful memories of his youth came flooding back to him: "When you were a kid, you were famous for sleeping in. I would wait for you downstairs every day. You would always put on your shoes while eating breakfast, and sometimes you would even forget to carry your schoolbag."

Ji Xingyao was not ashamed, but proud:

"Hehe~ Anyway, with you here, my schoolbag has never been left behind. I'm just a dependent by nature."

"Well, I'm happy to have you depend on me."

Their friendship can be traced back to their kindergarten days, and they have accompanied each other through every important stage of life.

The six months that Ji Xingyao had been back in the modern era was the longest period of separation they had experienced since they met.

No matter how much wealth he has, Ji Xingyao always feels dull without Wen around.

When a person is very happy but cannot share this happiness, his happiness will be greatly reduced.

When I eat delicious food, I always wish that the other person can have a taste of it too.

When I see the beautiful scenery, I always think that this is the place the other person has been clamoring to come to.

In short, there are regrets everywhere.

"Ayuan, I'll be waiting for you at home. Remember, you must call me."

Ji Xingyao is prepared to exchange ten years of his life for a chance for Wen Yuan to leave.

If she is lucky enough, she can live to be ninety if her life span is one hundred years.

If she was short-lived, minus ten years, she might not even have many years left to live.

So she hoped that Wen Yuan would return as soon as possible, and also hoped that she would contact her as soon as she returned.

"Don't worry, I will definitely call you as soon as possible."

After getting Wen Yuan's promise, Ji Xingyao felt a little better.

The next afternoon, the imperial concubine asked Ling'er to go out of the palace to buy rouge.

I heard that rose rouge is popular among aristocratic women in Beijing recently. It is not available in the palace, so you have to buy it from the most famous rouge shop in Beijing.

It was Ji Xingyao herself who proposed to leave the palace, but when she held Wen Yuan's palace card, she was reluctant to move.

Wen Yuan swallowed the bitterness in his heart and waved at her: "Go, be careful on the road."

There was originally another sentence behind it: Go early and come back early.

However, Wen Yuan knew that Ji Xingyao would never come back.

Ji Xingyao's tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. She ignored Li Ma's strange look and hugged Wen Yuan fiercely:

"Ayuan, I will always wait for you."

Without waiting for Wen Yuan to reply, Ji Xingyao turned around and left.

When Ji Xingyao's back disappeared at the gate of Yonghe Palace, a tear fell from Wen Yuan's eye.
