Chapter 204: Layout
"Princess, I've brought you everything you want. Xiao Jue walked into the yard with a large bag of things in his hand.
The snow only fell for one day, and it soon melted and disappeared, and it was already twenty-nine days before Su Qing remembered to make Laba porridge.
So she told Xiao Jue to go out to buy ingredients, and by the way, she brought over some of the things she needed.
Su Qing stood in the kitchen and Qingshuang gave her a hand: "What do you want to do, princess, tell me to do it, you better go and sit on the side." ”
"How tiring can you be in a place like this big kitchen? ”
Su Qing waved his hand, Laba porridge as the name suggests, eight kinds of raw materials, what rice, yellow rice, corn, soybeans, and beans were all washed and thrown into the pot.
I put two more pieces of rock candy and let it simmer, and then turned to work on the other ingredients.
Xiao Jingchen attended the dinner set by the emperor in the palace today, and Su Qing also had to get herself some delicious food to treat herself.
It's about to be the New Year, but there are often only two people in this courtyard, she and Qingshuang, and it's deserted.
When she finished Retenteng's meal and brought it out with Qingshuang, she suddenly saw a red lantern hanging in the courtyard, and Xiao Jue was putting the lit candle in it.
"Princess, can you see the lantern hanging here?"
As soon as the red lantern was hung up, there was that feeling the moment, Su Qing looked up and nodded: "It's okay, let's come down and eat." ”
"I'll go out tomorrow to buy some couplet firecrackers, clear the frost, and you can clean up this yard tomorrow." ”
Xiao Jue looked very experienced, and ordered Qingshuang to do other things, Su Qing smiled and didn't take it to heart.
Qingshuang nodded, she would have been happy if she had been as usual, but now she looked a little disappointed.
On the contrary, Xiao Jue admired the new princess more and more in his heart, and he was not in a hurry or annoyed in this courtyard alone, no wonder he could stay by the prince's side for so long.
After dinner, Su Qing asked Qingshuang to prepare hot water, and Xiao Jue turned around and went out to leave.
A gust of wind blew, the lanterns in the courtyard swayed slightly, and Xiao Jue's footsteps to the door slammed, and he looked back in a certain direction on the roof.
After thinking about it, he turned around and walked back, Qingshuang came out of the kitchen and saw him: "Why haven't you left yet?"
"It's weirdly cold outside, I'm afraid I'm going to catch a cold when I ride back, or you can clean up my room, I'll stay here tonight." Xiao Jue casually made up an excuse.
Qingshuang nodded to a side room with her chin: "That room is clean, you can go and live there." ”
Su Qing heard movement in the house, and stopped Xiao Jue when he passed by the door: "What's the matter?
Xiao Jue quickly raised his eyes and glanced in the direction of the roof: "Anyway, the prince won't come back in the palace tonight, and I will go back tomorrow morning." ”
With a look, Su Qing understood, nodded and didn't ask anything more: "If the quilt is not enough, let Qingshuang bring it to you again." Then he closed the door.
Qingshuang boiled hot water and sent it to the room: "Princess, the hot water is ready, I'll wait for you to bathe." ”
"No, just soak your feet. At this time, Su Qing was in no mood to bathe, and besides, he didn't know where those people were hiding, so he couldn't be taken advantage of by them.
The night is getting deeper, and I am afraid that Qingshuang is the only one in the whole courtyard who sleeps the most soundly.
Xiao Jue and Yi were lying on the bed, with the knife he usually used next to the bed, listening intently to the movement outside.
Knowing that there was a situation around, Su Qing didn't dare to fall asleep casually, so she left a lamp at the bedside and looked for a medical book to read.
Not knowing where those people came from and not knowing what their purpose was, Su Qing remembered the things that Xiao Jue brought to her today.
She specially asked her to bring the box of things that her mother had left for her, and put them on the bedside table.
Su Qing got up and went to the box and flipped through a notebook casually, the pages were a little yellowed, and the font on it was a little blurry.
However, what caught Su Qing's eyes was that the words written on it were all simplified, which greatly reduced the difficulty of reading, and some words could be guessed even if they couldn't read clearly.
After reading a few pages, Su Qing found that this was like an essay, recording some of her mother's daily life.
Ever since she knew that her mother was the same as her essence, Su Qing always had some confusion.
It stands to reason that her mother should have a mind that precedes the people here, and she is as mixed up as written.
Why did he lose his life at a young age, or did he die in those house fighting tricks that were not difficult, or because of something else?
Su Qing was very curious, she decided to study the things left by her mother, maybe it would be of great help to her life here.
After flipping through a few pages, she suddenly heard some movement in the courtyard outside, and she got up and went to the door to look.
Seeing that Xiao Jue was talking to a black-clothed shadow guard in the courtyard, he looked at her with a frown in embarrassment.
"You guys stay here and keep watch, don't have any accidents, I'll go to the palace to have a look." ”
A shadow guard suddenly came to tell him that the prince was in trouble in the palace, and the two ends were more important than the prince's side, not to mention that there was no problem on the princess's side for the time being.
"Brother Xiao, don't worry, we are here and nothing will happen. The shadow guard nodded and watched Xiao Jue leave quickly.
Then he sneered as if he had suddenly changed his face, and gestured to the roof behind him.
Su Qing saw this scene clearly in his eyes, and it seemed that Xiao Jue had fallen for the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.
She hurriedly went back to the bed and knocked on the wall next to the bed, on the other side was the frosty bed, and they agreed to knock on this wall if anything happened at night.
Faintly hearing movement on the other side of the wall, Su Qing immediately whispered next to the wall: "Find a place to hide, don't come out if anything happens." ”
The wall was solid, and the wall was already very thin, so Qingshuang vaguely understood the meaning of Su Qing's words.
Even if she didn't understand, Su Qing couldn't take care of her anymore, so she quickly got up and turned off the lamp at the head of the bed, and the room quickly became dark.
At this time, there was a sudden sound in the back window, and Su Qing immediately picked up a vase and guarded it next to the window, ready to give a blow to the head when the people came in.
But the figure that came in was a little familiar, and even fell to the ground because he was too anxious.
"Princess, are you okay?" Qingshuang didn't care about the pain, got up from the ground and saw the vase that Su Qing had raised: "It's me, it's me, and I'm ...... myself."
"Didn't you hide it, why did you climb the window and come?" Su Qing put down the vase and lowered her voice.
Qingshuang pointed to the window: "There's no one outside, let's climb out of here and escape." ”
Before he finished speaking, he sniffed hard a few times: "It's not good, it's the smell of fire oil." ”
The next second, I saw a raging flame rise, and in an instant, the room was illuminated.
