After being hungry for a whole day, Mei Rui's eyes were a little dark, and she shook her head at Huaizhu's question, saying no, but Huaizhu said: "It's still hard-mouthed, I know everything." ”

She shouted heartily, pulling Mei Rui up and down to check her, for fear that she was missing a piece of meat, Mei Rui laughed and said, "It's really okay, you see, I'm not good?" ”

Huaizhu held her hand and pressed it to her heart and began to howl: "But I'm scared to death, I'm busy in Zichen Hall today, and the prince has lost it again and can't find a trace, and Lu Hujun is so angry." At that time, I was waiting with Concubine Rong in the Zichen Palace, ho! Looks like King Wu Zheng of Zhou, started a fire to bluff people than King Yama, my legs and stomach are scared to me, and after a while, someone said that I found the prince, in the Literature Museum, I heard it, hey, isn't that the place where you are on duty? ”

Huaizhu was born well, the pearl is round and jade, and there is flesh in the chest, Mei Rui's hand was covered by her on the soft flesh on her chest, which made Mei Rui's ears a little red, and she belched: "You let go of my hand first......"

"Don't let it go!" Hearing her say this, Huaizhu covered her tighter, and continued: "As soon as Lu Hujun left, my eyelids began to beat, and I couldn't care about it in my heart, so I went to the Literature Museum to inquire, but they said that you were unloaded from the errand of the Literature Museum by Lu Hujun, and you were punished, and I was frightened!" God doesn't keep it, but Concubine Rong cried so much that she couldn't listen to me at all, so I could only come back to you until now. ”

She held Mei Rui in her arms and sobbed: "I went to the Literature Museum to find you first, and the people in the Literature Museum said that you went to the court to receive the punishment, and I ran to the court again, and there was no trace of you there, but I saw several palace maids who were punished there, all of them turned pale." My heart is about to jump out of my throat, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand the heavy punishment and faint. Hurry back and run back, the person in the next room told me that you haven't come out for a day, I'm ......"

Speaking of this, she began to pout again, and Mei Rui hurriedly covered her mouth: "Isn't it good for me, and I didn't throw it to the palace mound, you cry so loudly, what do you hear to others?" ”

She let go of her hand and pinched Huaizhu's face, making her relax, Huaizhu was still a little unhappy: "Why is Lu Hujun so unreasonable and unloaded your errand, so where will you be transferred to duty in the future?" ”

Mei Rui shook her head: "I don't know, at that time, I only said that I would no longer receive female bachelors, I guess it was a casual remark from the guard, and I didn't enter the file, and I will go back to the Literature Museum after a while." ”

"That's good." Huaizhu turned around and went to the door to get the food box, just came in in a hurry, she put the food box at the door, put the food box and covered the door again, and brought the food she brought back one by one, and there was a slight heat, she beckoned to Mei Rui, "Rui Rui, come quickly, I know you must not have eaten, I specially brought you a few dishes back from the dining room, eat quickly, otherwise it will be cold after a while." ”

Mei Rui walked down from the couch with a smile, and listened to Huaizhu again: "You go and close the crack in the window first, you will freeze to death." ”

And said and complained: "Are you not afraid of the cold when everyone is like you?" ”

Mei Rui had to turn around and close the window again, and when her fingertips touched the dark lacquered lattice, she felt unusually cold, and white flowers bloomed outside the window, and the frost and snow covered the noise of the city.

This is the first snow of this winter in Chang'an City.

Mei Rui stayed in the house for five days, and stayed bored, and Huaizhu brought her back food for these days, but Huaizhu always came back in a hurry and left in a hurry, only biting her ear at night, saying that the one was dying.

It's not a matter of a day or two that he is dying, Mei Rui didn't feel a fuss, but Huaizhu said very strictly: "It's really dying." ”

Seeing that Mei Rui was still indifferent, Huaizhu said again: "I heard before I came back that the emperor won't survive tonight." ”

Mei Rui was startled, hurriedly covered her mouth, and scolded, "Do you know what you're talking about?" This will be heard by others, and then you will only find your head that is separated from your body in the palace mound! ”

Huaizhu pulled her hand away and muttered, "It's the middle of the night, where will anyone hear it." Although she said this, she still lowered her voice, "Ruirui, why don't you care?" ”

Mei Rui lay back lazily, her untied hair was spread on the couch, like a fine ink satin, Huaizhu was itching, and she was about to reach out and touch it, so she said idly: "This has nothing to do with me, changing someone to sit in that position, there is no change in my current situation, maybe I can be released from the palace earlier, what do I have to worry about?" ”

"That's what you say," Huaizhu withdrew her hand, she lay on the couch, and saw Mei Rui's outline clearly, she felt that Mei Rui couldn't be better-looking, and her temperament was good, she was not arrogant or impatient when she encountered something, that was called a calm, unlike her, she panicked when she encountered something at all, and she only knew how to cry.

How can such a good person stay in the deep palace for a lifetime, in such a remote place as the Literature Museum, if it weren't for the white locust tree in the courtyard, I'm afraid that even the birds would not want to go. She couldn't help but get closer, leaned on Mei Rui's ear and asked her, "Rui Rui, where will you go if you leave the palace, will you go home?" ”

Mei Rui was stunned by her question, and muttered, "Home? She slowly closed her eyes, and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Yes, the world is big, the four seas are home, I think if I go out of the palace, I will travel to the rivers and mountains, read all the four seas, tea and wine, talk and travel, I was very envious of this kind of life before, and I only waited for me to realize it one by one after I left the palace." ”

Huaizhu sighed: "But Rui Rui, you were twenty and one when you left the palace, isn't your first priority to go back to find a lover and marry?" ”

Mei Rui turned her head to look at her, and said suspiciously: "What are you talking about, how can I have a lover." ”

Huaizhu said with a smile: "Nanya, that Zhao Qinwei, isn't it your lover?" ”

She teased Mei Rui with a hippie smile, and Mei Rui raised her hand to hit her in the mouth: "How did he become my lover?" Look I don't tear your mouth apart! ”

Huaizhu sat up from the futon, dodging Mei Rui's hand, the charcoal fire in the room had been extinguished, and the cold air got into the quilt, she was so cold that she screamed, and threw herself at Mei Rui, Mei Rui was caught off guard by her overwhelm, and heard her say in her ear: "Rui Rui, how fortunate I am to know you." ”

Mei Rui rested on the sheep-patterned pillow, the smile on the corner of her mouth softened a lot, the snow outside stopped, and the dry branches in winter could not bear the weight of the snow, and then there was a crackling sound to break the silence of the night.

And the dream was heavier than snow, and Mei Rui felt a headache when she woke up the next day, probably because of the trouble with Huaizhu at night yesterday. Huaizhu is no better than her, an idler, and left early in the morning, Mei Rui stayed in the house for so many days, feeling that she was going to be covered to the bones and panicked, and when she pushed the window, the snow stopped last night, and the outside was covered in silver, she slowly put on her clothes, and pondered going to the literature museum.

As a result, she will put on her shoes, and she will hear a faint cry of sorrow, one after another, like a wave that floods the entire palace city, her heart tightened, and she walked out, and sure enough, she didn't wait long, and saw a little eunuch running from the palace road, she stopped the little eunuch and asked, "What's wrong with this fire?" ”

The little eunuch cried with a sad face, and said breathlessly: "Bachelor, everyone 1 has died!" ”

No wonder, the palace is full of mourning, Mei Rui let the little eunuch go, standing there a little dazed, not knowing where to go, what Huaizhu said to her last night was so fulfilled, she really didn't take it to heart at the time, but it happened, but there was a faint feeling of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

It stands to reason that this matter does have nothing to do with her, she has never been a warm-hearted person, the emperor's death has three provinces and six ministries to worry about, and the people who cry are also those who have friendship with the emperor, but she doesn't know why her right eye is always beating, and she feels that it is really not good, but where is the bad, she can't understand.

The people in the literature museum probably made a mess because of this incident, and she was just going to join in the fun, and it didn't make any sense, so she turned around and went back again.

Huaizhu didn't come back at noon, Mei Rui waited patiently, and waited until the evening, Huaizhu still didn't come back, she couldn't sit still, thinking about whether to go to the dining room to find some food, or go next door to borrow a little snack or something, it's good to suppress hunger, but I didn't expect to walk a few steps, and a large group of people came to meet her, wearing soft heads, with horn hairpins, and eagle patterns on the cuffs, after blocking her front, the person headed by her hugged her fist and said: "But Aunt Mei Rui?" ”

Mei Rui froze, and she replied to the other party with a strict salute: "The slave is exact, dare to ask the important matter why the lord came late at night?" ”

Although she asked so, she had already guessed the other party's intention in her heart, and now this situation can only be related to the matter of the person who died just now, as soon as the other party spoke, sure enough: "Lord Protector, please also ask my aunt to go to Zichen Hall with me." ”

The relationship between this Lu Hujun and the first emperor is very unusual in the rumors, Mei Rui smiled and answered yes, and followed, it is difficult to walk at night, especially on a snowy night, for fear of slipping, Mei Rui walked very carefully, but this group of northern yajun seemed to be very anxious, carried a lamp for her in front, and said to her: "Auntie, go faster, so as not to teach the guardian to wait for a long time." ”

Mei Rui nodded, tightened the cuffs, the Zichen Hall in front was close, the high level of white marble was shining with a cold color under the moon, the lotus leaves were carved, the dragon and phoenix were playing, and the forbidden army was lined up, Mei Rui looked up, and it was brightly lit, like a cave of beasts that lured lost people in the dark night.
