Chapter 122: Sticky ~ No Quarrel
"Benjamin, what have you been busy with recently? It feels like I haven't seen you for a long time. Did the emperor ask you to draw something again? Or do you want you to draw some construction drawings?" Xu Tian felt that the number of times she met Benjamin by chance was getting less and less in recent days. She didn't know what he was busy with every day. He was like a dragon that was hard to find.
"Ah, that's right! The emperor has arranged a lot of paintings for me recently, so I haven't been out much." Benjamin almost fell flat on his face. What has he been doing recently? Of course, he is preparing a surprise! If it weren't for the accidents in the past two days, his plan would have been executed long ago. Really, he just prayed that he could confess smoothly in the next period of time! Of course, it would be best if it succeeded in one go.
"You have to take care of Mr. Lafayette recently, so you have less time to rest." In order not to reveal his flaws, Benjamin quickly changed the subject.
"Yes, Qing'er and I were together, but we only took care of her for the first day. Later, the old Buddha woke up and got much better. We didn't need to take care of her all the time. But, unexpectedly, today there was another incident with Concubine Yu. Is Mercury retrograde in the palace recently?" Xu Tian said while thinking about what happened recently. The more she talked, the more she felt that it was a troubled time recently. First, the old Buddha fainted, then the emperor granted her marriage to Yongqi, and then Concubine Yu hanged herself! Nothing has been going well recently.
"Mercury retrograde? What kind of new word is this!" Benjamin has learned a lot of new words from Xu Tian, but there are still many that he doesn't understand, such as this Mercury retrograde.
"Mercury retrograde, to put it simply, means that your luck has not been very good recently." Xu Tian told Benjamin in the most easy-to-understand words.
"That's just as you said. This palace has been experiencing retrograde recently!" Benjamin said.
Not long after, they arrived at the gate of the Cining Palace. It was not convenient for Ertai and Benjamin to go inside the Cining Palace, so they had to part ways.
"In a few days, it will be the day to leave the palace. See you then." Ertai looked at Song Qing reluctantly and said. If he didn't have to make money to support his family, he would have wanted to stick to Song Qing every day. Alas, it's a pity, he still has to work hard~ 呜呜呜
"Oh~ You two are so clingy, okay, we'll meet in a few days! Stop acting like a Qiong Yao drama here!" Xu Tian got goose bumps when she saw Ertai's clingy attitude. She quickly retorted to Ertai before Song Qing could speak. But she suddenly realized that she was in a Qiong Yao drama! Why did she need to act?
"Okay, you guys go back!" Song Qing found Xu Tian's antics funny. She couldn't help but start to imagine what it would be like when Xu Tian and Benjamin were together. Would she and Ertai still be close? She was really looking forward to it~
"If you have anything to do, remember to come find me at Ruyi Pavilion." Benjamin said to Xu Tian. To be honest, Benjamin has always been quite clingy, but...
"Oh, I get it, I get it! Bye." Hahaha, but Xu Tian just never gets it.
——I am the dividing line——
After experiencing Concubine Yu's suicide, Yongqi finally compromised and agreed to marry Zhihua.
The most unexpected thing was that Xiaoyanzi didn't make any movement this time. She didn't get too excited, nor did she object. She seemed to accept it calmly. Song Qing and the others had already prepared to comfort Xiaoyanzi, but it turned out to be useless! They worried for nothing.
Not only Song Qing and the others, but also Ertai and the others were very surprised. The Xiaoyanzi they knew always threw tantrums regardless of the time, and could be said to be reckless. But in this incident, Xiaoyanzi seemed to have become a different person. She did not argue, was not sad, and did not even fight for herself. She just accepted it calmly.
Yongqi felt very sad when he saw Xiaoyanzi like this. He knew that Xiaoyanzi had compromised for him. She did it for him and for his mother. She did not fight for herself and also controlled her temper.
But the more Xiaoyanzi was like this, the more he blamed himself.
