It was nearly dusk, and it was more than half of the day and night of Nanling Palace, the lights were on, and the big lanterns hanging high under the eaves were shining with red light, and the red light reflected the red wall and lacquered door, and it was also bright in the house.

There were only Sima Xi and Huan both left in the study, and the voices outside gradually boiled, and Murong was shouting in this hall, and at this moment he was gone, and the hall was instantly quiet, but it made the two of them calm down. Sima Xi closed his eyebrows after Murong left, sat behind the case, did not say a word, and did not ask for his eavesdropping for a while, nor did he praise him for breaking the siege, Huan wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start, so he waited beside him to look at Sima Xi's face.

After a while, Cheng Ji from outside came to call the door without hesitation: "Lord, dinner has been prepared, do you need to pass it on?"

Sima Xi still closed his eyes, shook his head, and did not make a sound, Huan Ji paused, and then shouted outside: "The prince can't say it." ”

"Yes, the old servant obeys. ”

Cheng Ji's low and wide shadow on the carved door screen window became smaller and smaller, and disappeared from time to time, Sima Xi slowly opened his eyes at this time, the corners of his mouth were lightly raised, but his eyes were vicissitudes.

"Lord, what trick did the prince have in the hands of that barbarian?"

Sima Xi's eyes were like torches, and he suddenly froze at Tongren, and muttered to himself: "How can this king admit defeat so easily?"

Huan Ji had never seen Sima Xi so ruthless, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, but he felt that there was a gust of wind seeping around, and it was so cold that he said: "Lord Wang, I can have today, it all depends on the appreciation of the prince, Huan follows the prince, and he really wants to do things for the prince, and the matter has come to this point, the prince will either kill Huan Jie directly, or give Huan Jie a chance, let Huan Jie serve the prince as a dog and horse!"

Huan all said and knelt down, didn't dare to get up and raise his head, his heart was pounding, and the hall was quiet again, and the waiting hour was the most difficult.

After a long time, I only heard Sima Xi say: "You did a good job today." ”

"Lord ......"

"Get up, you have done a good job today, and this king also needs such a wise and bold man as you to plan and sway, and this king did not expect that the past could cause such a stir. ”

In the second year of Xian'an, that day of the night of the wind and snow, the world is chaotic, the cold frost of winter is close to the fluttering leaves, the ancient plank path is covered with thick snow without hooves, the wind and snow are densely obliquely weaved, a fierce horse shuttles quickly between the hidden trees on the outskirts of the city, when the figure flashes, the snow on the fallen leaves is like a waterfall poured, and the sound of thick hooves melts a string of deep and shallow spots.

The man riding the horse was lying down, dressed in black and hooded, and the snow had been covered with plain color, close to the city gate, he slowed down slightly, and the city gate guard saw the token he took out of his arms, so he opened the city gate and let him in, and the dim lights of the Zhu Tower in the distance were his destination.

"Hurry up this way. "Young Cheng Ji has been waiting outside the side door for a long time, and his body is also covered with thick snow, when he was young, he was not as fat as he is now.

The man in black dismounted and faced the strong wind, and the wind and snow made Chengji stumble, but he also had to protect the people beside him. The man in black pulled up the burden on his chest slightly, and Cheng Ji immediately leaned in to confirm, only to see a baby curled up in the swaddling clothes, with skin as white as snow, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and a sweet sleep, the red fluttering little face was bulging and chewing, not disturbed by the wind, frost and frost at all.

In the Nanling Palace, Wanshe was silent, only the study hall was still red and dim candle flame in the wind and snow. As soon as the door curtain was opened, a wind and snow swept in from the outside, and a light snow rose, Cheng Ji escorted the man in black and quietly entered, the soft-soled leather boots were silent, and he said, "Lord, here." ”

Twenty years later, Sima Xi is still the pair of goshawk eyes, shining with light, when he was young, his sword eyebrows and starry eyes are radiant, but his eyes have already revealed the scheming of the city government, and they are no longer clear.

The baby passed from the hands of the man in black to Sima Xi's arms, and the voice of the man in black was as white as snow: "It's a daughter." ”

Sima Xi's brows furrowed slightly, and he hesitated for a moment, but Cheng Ji didn't dare to speak out on the side.

Sima Xi said lightly: "Okay." ”

"The head of the family asked me to greet the prince. Only then did the man in black take off his coat and black hat, exhale a ball of heat, and knelt down on one knee on the velvet blanket, and the wide eyebrows and eyes on the high cheekbones were particularly different in the realm of the Han people.

"Good. And ask for me how your master is well. ”

"The prince once saved the life of the head of the family, I Xianbei has always known the kindness of the retribution, the head of the family said, as long as the prince said a word, don't say that it is today's matter, it is other people who go to the soup and go to the fire, he will also do it for the prince. ”

"Your head of the family has a heart. Sima Xi said, "Chengji, take him down for tea." ”

The thick cotton curtain that sealed the snow at the door was lifted again, and when the two went out, there was a gust of wind and snow that blew into the house with broken plums, Sima Xi walked to the charcoal basin with the baby in his arms, and then picked up two pieces of charcoal and added them, and the fire contained heat and slowly climbed up the inky black carved flower and fruit charcoal. Sima Xi opened the swaddling clothes, the baby girl was already awake, but she didn't cry or make trouble, she looked at the deep-eyed person in front of her with clear and pure eyes, she twisted her flesh-pink body slightly, a little cinnabar was printed on her neck, and she faintly jumped between the plain swaddling clothes.

Sima Xi held her in front of his eyes again and took a closer look, it was really a piece of Zhu Mei Ji in good shape, the plum petals were clear and clear, and the vermilion red was like rouge, as if it was compared to the engraving.

"Is it okay to call you Xuexin?" Sima Xi's eyes showed a rare gentle color, and he gently tucked the swaddling clothes away.

The wind and snow were whistling outside, as if they were attacking the house from all directions, and they were about to seize this warm place, and it was the coldest at the end of the year, Sima Xi had already asked someone to strengthen the houses in order to welcome the arrival of the little life in his arms, and added thick fur blankets to provide coals.

When he was young, Cheng Ji came back, shook the ice and snow, and said, "Lord Wang, the nurse is already waiting in that room." ”

"The wind and snow outside are tight, and it is not appropriate to hold it, so the nurse will come to the study to breastfeed. ”

"This ...... The study is the place where the prince deals with important military and political affairs, and there are royal gods guarding it, so how inappropriate is it to breastfeed for fear of damaging the masculinity of this place?"

"When it comes to it, the gods should also be close to people. ”

Cheng Ji responded with his head, hesitated for a moment, and was quite embarrassed, and said, "Lord Wang, there is still a variable...... This baby girl is a twin, and a sister......"

Sima Xideng's smile froze slightly, as cold as the ice spring outside the house.

"Xianbei bought off the maternity maid and maidservant, etc., and the budget was already made, and the baby died when he fell to the ground, but ...... He Xianbei was not skilled in the imperial medicine, and he had not even given birth to twins before, but now he had to say that he had lived this baby and gave one of the babies to the prince. The little servant understands that they are all the blood of the prince, how can the prince be willing to give up one of them, but there are always unpredictable things in everything, and the prince will be angry, and then look at it and discuss it again, the little servant will do his best to share the worries of the prince. ”

"Xuexin, you actually have a sister. Sima Xi laughed to himself again, it was the baby in his arms who laughed, he touched the little face of the baby girl, and teased in his hands, there has been a dispute over the throne recently, and Chengji may not have seen the prince so happy for a long time.

"Has the prince named her Xuexin?" The snow around Cheng Ji made the charcoal fire in the house melt, and a cloud of heat came out of his mouth, "It's the heavy snow at night, and the seven-trick exquisite heart condensed in the snow." ”

Sima Xi closed his eyes and chuckled, and said: "This king only wants to send her heart like ice and snow, and she is very smart, but she will never love anyone." ”
