The sencha on the iron stove was still gurgling and bubbling, the snow hail floating in between the windows was still like poplar flowers, and only the candle flame on the Boshan gold lacquer frame swayed slightly, shaking the figures on the teak floor of the two of them.

The jade leak is ticking, the wind and snow are silent, a foreign woman, a royal king, is not close at hand, and the end of the world is the end of the world.

Xin Yi's gaze gradually cooled, without a trace of emotion: "Even if the prince is targeting Wang Wenying, even if Wang Wenying deserves to die, but it will cause a great disaster in my Xin Mansion, and the green butterfly will die." This hatred is not counted with the prince, and it will never be forgotten in this life. ”

Li Jingting's heart fell like a big stone, and with a muffled bang, it smashed into the endless abyss.

His thin lips closed several times, as if he wanted to justify something, but finally fell silent, because he found that there was no need to say anything, whether it was really him or not, and the distance between him and the woman in front of him would not be closer.

This matter, it has happened, there are always endless suspicions, and it is close again and again to the end of the world.

This is the rule of the chess game, and it is the fate that he Li Jingting chose - the sacrifice necessary for the final victory.

In just a few breaths, Li Jingting's face changed several times, and finally became indifferent, just like him at the beginning, calm with royal nobility, which made people unapproachable at all.

"In this way, there is a long road ahead, so let's ask for safety. Li Jingting turned his head to take the tea on the stove and filled the two tea cups, "This is the good tea that this king brought back from Chuzhou." It's snowing heavily for days, and it's freezing cold, so do you want a cup of warmth?"

After that, Li Jingting naturally handed over a cup of tea, and the fragrance of tea immediately spread in the room.

And his eyebrows and eyes were drowned in the heat of the tea, and he couldn't tell what kind of feelings he was at the bottom of his eyes for a while.

However, Xin Yi didn't answer, but took a step back quietly: "Even if you are a monarch and a minister, you still talk about courtesy." The courtiers gave gifts to the prince, shouldn't the prince return the gift?"

Li Jingting was stunned: "...... According to the Three Principles and Five Constants, this is natural...... The king has prepared a return gift, but he is not in a hurry...... Warm up with a cup of hot tea first, and then talk about the New Year's ceremony......"

"The courtiers thank the prince for his kindness. But please follow the rules and talk about the New Year's gift first. Xin Yi deserved to be respectful, but his eyes secretly glanced at the jade leak.

Even if she can see it in her eyes, there are only two people in this room, she and Li Jingting. She also never believes that "there are really only two of them".

The brocade guard outside the shadow guard in the dark, what she knew he didn't know, countless pairs of eyes in the chess game were locked in this direction.

The foreign woman paid homage to the king of Jin and congratulated the wax sacrifice and the New Year. Even if the reasons are fair, no one else in the game will think so.

Xin Yi's glance at the jade leak failed to hide from King Jin, and the latter's face sank: "You are in a hurry?

Not in a hurry. It's just that everything, from the big reasons to the words and deeds, must be confined to the scope of "etiquette and law", and nothing can be put into practice.

Xin Yi didn't say these words, she just bowed down to the ground, and even said Xie Jun's return salute in advance, without giving Li Jingting a chance to say the whole thing.

"The courtiers thanked the prince. The prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old. ”

Li Jingting's hand holding the teacup in mid-air shook suddenly, and a few drops of hot tea splashed out, blurring a few water stains on the ground.

There was silence again.

Xin Yi also kept kneeling, her back line was meekly prostrate, and the snow hail fell on her shoulder one by one.

She's secretly eccentric. Li Jingting, who she once knew, said everything vigorously and resolutely, but today he seems to be silent too many times.

As if there is something that will not be said, what will be said will not be started, hesitate and hesitate, and misunderstand the daughter's heart.

Long. Li Jingting's voice came from the first yin yin: "Come on! Huai'an Junjun doesn't have to be polite, please get up. ”

The first half of the sentence is addressed to the attendants. Immediately, the door opened, and a series of footsteps entered.

The second half of the sentence is said to Xin Yi. Immediately, Xin Yi raised his eyes, but he still remained on his knees.

Seven or eight sandalwood boxes were placed in front of Xin Yi, and the attendant opened them, and the wind and snow in the gloomy room suddenly shone brightly, scorching like three springs.

Li Jingting waved his hand to retreat from the attendants, and pointed to the box with his empty hand: "These are all Chuzhou's specialties." Huai'an Junjun picks one. Thousands of miles to send goose feathers, the gift is light and affectionate. This king and the county monarch are not only monarchs and ministers, but also some of them are familiar at first sight. The county gentleman doesn't have to be polite. ”

Xin Yi smiled and looked into the box—

A jar of chrysanthemum, a pair of marigolds, a jade ruyi, and a feather hairpin.

They are all treasures, but they are also in line with the rules, and they can't be faulted at all.

Seeing that Xin Yi looked at the gift box, he didn't respond for a long time, and he couldn't tell what he liked or disliked, Li Jingting suddenly rose with a slight joy: "If the county monarch doesn't like these vulgar things, this king has prepared another one for the county monarch." ”

This time, no attendants came in to salute, but Li Jingting got up in person and came out from behind the screen with a flower goose.

In the flowers, a branch of plum, goose yellow and decorating, blooming fragrant.

However, it is only a plum. A plum blossom that is very common in winter, even the flower goose is just an ordinary celadon, and there is no luxury in it.

"Chuzhou is located in Huaiwan, the south is warm, so the winter plum also blooms later than Guanzhong. This is the first plum blossom of this year under the window of the residence of the king in Chuzhou. ”

In front of the window in the coming day, the cold plum is not blooming?

Thousands of miles away, the south is warm, and the winter plum in Guanzhong has become a sea. But he brought the first plum blossom in the south to the people in Chang'an City.

Thousands of miles away, send Jun Mei here.

Even Xin Yi, who was full of chess calculations in his heart at the moment, couldn't help but look at the plum blossom and lost his mind: "This is the gift that the prince gave back to the monarch of this county?"

"Not bad. Li Jingting bowed his head slightly, and his eyebrows and eyes stared at Xin Yi deeply, "After this king plucked it, he offered it in the goblet with a clear spring, and on the way back to Beijing, he also personally hugged it on his chest, and did not teach the flowers on this branch to bump at all." That's why to this day, Meiduo is complete and vibrant. ”

Li Jingting's words were light and light, but his tone was deep but suppressed with a hint of eagerness. A trace of a child's please, longing for that person's affirmative eagerness.

Xin Yi gasped slightly, avoiding Li Jingting's gaze.

Because at that moment, she understood too well the deep meaning of this plum blossom, and this "deep meaning" was exactly what she couldn't respond to and wasn't ready to respond.

The treasures of gold and silver are nothing but three thousand flashy treasures. And a plum branch in a thousand miles is a scoop of water in these three thousand.

If the water is weak, only one scoop is taken.

Xin Yi's eyes flashed, and it didn't take long for her face to return to the same as before: "The prince said that he laughed." This plum blossom is all over the street, where is the prince to send it thousands of miles away. The courtiers gave the prince Yujue, and the return gift should also be in line with the etiquette law, and the prince should not play tricks on the courtiers, and take a plum blossom to give the errand. ”

Xin Yi's words were joking, but Li Jingting couldn't laugh at all.

"Huai'an Junjun can you hear clearly? This is the first plum blossom ...... this winter under the window of this Wang Qi" Li Jingting was a little anxious. He leaned out slightly and said a word to Xin Yi.
