But if one day he regresses...

On the second day, Taomi dressed up and went into the palace to meet Xuan Ye.

"Princess, are we going to live here in the future?" Lan Tong looked at Taomi on the carriage and asked. Although she followed Taomi out for a while, she was still an ancient person in her bones, thinking that even if those lands were Taomi

What Mi brought back should also belong to the emperor.

But she has seen a lot of things in these years, and she also likes a free life. Although she still stays with Taomi as a maid, she is different from other maids. If she stays in the capital from now on, what will happen to her?

For her, that was already a very pitiful thing.

Taomi knew what she was thinking. On the way back, this girl had been hesitant, but it was not easy to ask at the last moment.

"We are only here temporarily. Although this is our home, we also have our own home. In the end, we will go back."

Taomi's words successfully reassured Lan Tong. After calculation, Lan Tong has been with her for almost ten years. It is not an exaggeration to say that they get along day and night. When she was a child, she chose to enter the palace through the Ministry of Internal Affairs because her family was poor.

, in order to be able to subsidize the family.

Even the name Lan Tong was changed to her current name after her father-in-law from the Ministry of Internal Affairs felt that her original name was too vulgar and unpleasant to serve the master after she entered the palace.

Now so many years have passed, her parents have passed away, her sisters have all married, and her brothers have married and have children. She has not had much contact with her, so she doesn't have much concern. Maybe it's because this is ancient times, and women have left home.

, whether you are getting married or becoming a slave, it has nothing to do with the family.

Who told a woman to be born with a foreign surname?

Moreover, Lan Tong's eyes lit up after he learned that Taomi had the idea of ​​not getting married. Since the princess didn't even want to get married, why did she still get married?

She is considered to have seniority around the princess. Except for some older mothers and father-in-laws, the other maids and eunuchs all call her "sister" when they see her. She has also saved a lot of money for herself over the years, and she will accompany her all her life.

It's also nice to be a nanny next to the princess.

Now that she has gone out with the princess and seen things and people that she has never seen before, she realizes how tiring her life was before and how wonderful it is now.

The carriage swayed into the palace gate, and Taomi walked to Qianqing Palace. Yesterday, Xuan Ye knew that Taomi was coming back. There was nothing important in the court today, so he went to court early to do what he wanted.

Inside the Qing Palace, I was reading the memorial and waiting for Tao Mi's arrival.

"Jianning has met Brother Emperor. What is Brother Emperor looking at? You didn't even look up when Jianning came back."

Xuan Ye didn't hear the eunuch's report at all. Now he suddenly heard Tao Mi's voice and raised his head, he saw Tao Mi standing not far in front of him with a smile.

"Jianning?" It's the same as when Taomi left five years ago, the same distance, but except for the distance, everything else is different.

The faces of both of them are no longer the same as they were five years ago, and the hearts of both of them are also more mature than they were five years ago, but this maturity is just good but not pregnant.

"Brother Emperor, don't you often say in your heart that you miss me and want me to come back early? Why don't you say anything when you see me now?"

Xuan Ye stood up and walked to Taomi, "Why would Jian Ning know how timid it is to live close to home?" When something that you have thought about for a long time suddenly appears in front of you, you can't believe it.

Taomi smiled, stepped forward, stretched out her arms and hugged Xuan Ye, "Brother Emperor, I'm back, I'm really back. You don't have to be shy about being close to home."

In fact, Taomi sometimes thinks that Xuan Ye really dotes on her. People in ancient times believed that "if parents are here, they won't travel far away."

Although the Queen Mother is gone, Shunzhi is still a monk in Mount Wutai. If he dies, although he cannot be buried according to the emperor's rites, as his son, Xuan Ye will definitely go, and Taomi should also go by then.

When she first told Xuan Ye, it was only three to five years, and no one could say anything about lifespan, but Xuan Ye still agreed. This was not because Shunzhi's identity was gradually no longer exposed.

Tao Mi came back for the first time after being away for several years. Xuan Ye naturally left Tao Mi in the palace for dinner. He also said that the Mid-Autumn Festival would be in a few days and would prepare a family dinner for her.

"Look, Your Majesty, your complexion has improved a lot since the princess came back." Li Dequan said flatteringly from the side.

"Is Brother Huang sick?" Taomi took a closer look at Xuan Ye's complexion, and it was indeed a little bad. She knew before that Kangxi was a long-lived emperor, but today she looked a little bad and thought she was tired.

, I was just thinking about saying a few words of comfort for a while. Could it be that there is something else hidden behind this?

"Li Dequan, stand down!" Xuan Ye shouted sharply.

But Li Dequan stood still and said continuously, "Princess, please advise the emperor. The little princess died some time ago. The emperor has been unable to sleep at night and has not rested for several days. If this continues, the emperor's dragon body will be

It’s so delicious.”

After the imperial struggle, few of the royal daughters were born and even fewer survived. It was very rare for those like Jianning to survive.

Tao Mi waved her hand and told Li Dequan to step back. Li Dequan looked at Xuan Ye and said nothing, then bowed and stepped back.

In this palace, there is no dynasty or generation where a child has not died, let alone a baby. Even a generation of emperors often die in their own palace without knowing the reason. He did this except to make Xuan Ye

It's not so sad. Another thing is to let Tao Mi remember him.

No one else knew what was written in the letters Taomi sent to Xuan Ye over the years. How could he not know that a female streamer became the king of a piece of land, even Hua Mulan did not have her when he was serving Xuan Ye so closely?

ability.

What's more, there are only a thousand elite soldiers. No matter how elite those soldiers are, it is impossible for them to be without a single damage in five years. To put it a little bit mysterious, he believes that Taomi is blessed by God, and she is the one chosen by God.

She is the emperor, but she is only born as a girl. Of course, this is also a hardship for her. It is really not easy to become a queen as a female.

There is no harm in getting closer to such a person, not to mention that he didn't say anything about caring about the emperor's dragon body, so that's even more correct.

"Hey, isn't this Miss Lan Tong? She came back from a long trip with the princess, and her appearance is even more charming."

"Eunuch Li, thank you for your praise. The princess has such a graceful appearance. The servants are not as good as the princess." Lan Tong said with a polite smile.

Li Dequan couldn't help but sigh to himself, as expected of the people around the princess. Their temperament was different from that of ordinary palace maids. They were not flattering or arrogant at all, which made people very comfortable.

In the house, Li Dequan took away all the maids and eunuchs who were serving the dishes. Taomi walked over and gave Xuan Ye a glass of wine, "Brother Emperor, are you really worried about your dead niece?"

Taomi didn't believe what Li Dequan just said. In her heart, Xuan Ye had never been the kind of person who was obsessed with the personal affairs of his children. He now has many daughters, not to mention one who only lived for two months.

Where is my daughter?

This is not to say that Xuan Ye is ruthless, but that he simply does not have that much time to grieve the spring and autumn. All his time is used to deal with government affairs. Even if he has extra time, he has so many children, and each of them has a share.

Too few came down.

"It's better that Jian Ning understands Brother Huang." Xuan Ye sighed, picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He would be sad when a daughter dies, but not emotionally.

"It's a pity that Jianning's understanding is only one-sided. Can the emperor have a good talk with Jianning?" Could it be that in the years since she left, something else happened that embarrassed Emperor Kangxi?

Xuan Ye looked at the delicacies on the table, looked at the peaches, and after a while he said, "I am the king of a country, and no one dares to lie to me, because once they do, it is deceiving the king, but why?

Is anyone so brave?"

"Who is it?" The crime of deceiving the emperor can range from beheading to implicating nine tribes. Who has the courage?

"Jianning, you have been traveling around the world for several years. The places you have traveled have exceeded the territory of the Qing Dynasty. Have you ever heard of cultivating immortals?" Xuan Ye did not answer, but asked this question,

Taomi's heart skipped a beat. Of course she knew about cultivating immortals. She was originally a cultivator. Could it be that Cliff discovered something? No, no one had ever known her identity as a cultivator. "I have heard about it, but I don't know."

Why does the emperor suddenly ask this?"

"There is such a person in this harem."

Taomi's heart was beating even harder. The people in the harem were talking about her, right?

She clearly knew that Xuan Ye was not talking about her, and even if she showed any flaws, Xuan Ye would definitely not think of anyone who cultivated immortality.

"Today is your first day back in the palace. I didn't want to tell you this at first, but some things are really so mysterious."

After dinner, night had fallen. Li Dequan carried a lantern and without a single maid or guard, Xuan Ye and Tao Mi came to the most remote part of the palace.

The broken wooden door seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind. Li Dequan took out the key and opened the door. The two of them went in. The scene inside shocked Tao Mi even more.

Not only was it overgrown with weeds, but the windows of the house were no longer covered, and some parts were exposed. They could hear the sound of the wind while standing in the yard.

Is this still the Forbidden City?

Even the conditions in the Cold Palace are better than here. After all, she has stayed in the palace for several years. If Xuan Ye hadn't brought her here today, she wouldn't have known there was such a place here.

"Brother, what kind of place is this?" It doesn't have the majesty that a royal residence should have. It looks like a house where ghost stories are filmed. Will a female ghost in white emerge from it soon?

Just as she was thinking about it, the door in front of her opened. There was really a woman dressed in white standing at the door, her hair disheveled. Taomi took a breath, there really was a ghost.

"Emperor, you dare to lock me here. I will kill you, kill you, and avenge myself." After saying that, the man rushed over to Xuan Ye.

Xuan Ye didn't move at all, but Li Dequan walked up to Xuan Ye, laughed twice and stretched out his hand to grab the 'female ghost', laughed twice more and said, "What emperor? We don't have an emperor here. Please admit your mistake."

Now that you are here, come back with me quickly. This is more revealing, so don’t freeze your body."

"Brother Imperial? Is she the person you told me to cultivate immortality?" This is obviously a lunatic, and she didn't feel any fluctuations of spiritual energy in her body. Of course, more importantly, she doesn't know anything about this world.

She didn't feel any spiritual energy, Jiran had no spiritual energy, and she had never met a person who cultivated immortality before. Why did Xuan Ye say this?

"She used to be." Xuan Ye held his hands behind him and walked to a tree in the yard. Even though no one was taking care of this tree, it was still very lush. The branches and leaves were more lush than those with flowers in the palace. The trees that the craftsman cleaned were much more lush.

Previously?

"That one just now was from An Gui." Seeing that Taomi was a little confused, Xuan Ye then said, "That's the woman you met in Qianqing Palace on the day you came to say goodbye to me."

Hearing Xuan Ye say this, Taomi also remembered that she was that stupid woman who dared to come to Qianqing Palace and didn't treat her badly. She was still somewhat impressed. After all, such a stupid woman, she once said that in You can't survive in a harem. Now let's prove that what she said is right.

What on earth is going on with Buduo’s ‘cultivation of immortality’?

"She was thrown into the cold palace by me in the first year after you left because she harmed other concubines." Although he knew that she was probably innocent that time, he didn't have the time to care about that much.

He knows that she is not smart, and she also likes to get along with people who are not smart, so that it is easier for him. But if she only has innocence in the palace, then she is stupid, cannot protect herself, and cannot show it when others frame her. Evidence, he didn't have time to find evidence for her, so that was all he could do.

But in less than a year, she appeared in his sight again. She investigated clearly what she had been framed for, and she became a noble person again. The person who framed her was also punished. Disposed of.

But due to some reasons, he did not treat An Gui as he did before. After An Gui's trip to the cold palace, he seemed to have become a lot smarter and learned to use strategies to win favor.

"Brother Imperial, you still didn't talk about cultivating immortality."
