Chapter Forty-Six: The Frozen Rose

"The rest of the bit, so that you can see it, it is frozen, and now it is the end of winter, and it will be too late to show you." After Xue Tianao finished speaking, Xiao Wanyao walked forward with a candle to see, the rose petals in the ice were like fresh, Xue Tianao could only do it quietly by himself, and it must have taken a lot of thought.

Xue ...... Qinghe, thank you for letting me see such a beautiful thing, it must have taken you a lot of time. Xiao Wanyao said.

Xue Tianao's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he recovered as usual for a moment, but said lightly: "It doesn't matter about time, what I'm most afraid of today is that you reject me, it is estimated that tomorrow, it will become a puddle of water, right!?" ”

Xiao Wanyao replied: "Actually, I already saw it that day...... You sprinkle flower petals on the roof, and the sky is all over the sky, and to be honest, the scene is beautiful. ”

Xue Tianao asked stiffly, "So...... I sing...... I...... I just drank too much that day......"

As he spoke, Xue Tianao's fair face turned slightly red. Fortunately, it was getting late now, and Xiao Wanyao didn't seem to notice it, which made Xue Tianao very happy.

The night was getting thicker, Xue Tianao took Xiao Wanyao from the path back to the Jiaofang Palace, along the way the two of them were low-key, and they were not discovered by others, Xue Tianao did things safely, and before leaving, he locked the door of the Ningzi Hall from the inside, and restored the house to its original appearance.

"I'm hungry, go back and ask Licorice to heat up the duck and crab in sauce, I want to eat something hot now." Xue Tianao said when he was about to walk to the courtyard of the Jiaofang Palace.

"You're still over so late!? I'm afraid of gossip! Xiao Wanyao scolded him.

Xue Tianao didn't care, but said to Xiao Wanyao with righteousness: "Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, no one will return to the Jiaofang Palace!" Are you going to leave me alone in my cold place!? There's nothing to eat there, are you trying to starve Young Master Ben to death? ”

Xiao Wanyao glared at him: "It's the New Year, what do you say about not dying?" Then you go over and eat, and when you're done, you'll leave me quickly! ”

Xue Tianao saw that she didn't refuse, and didn't care about the rest of the words, so he entered the courtyard and said to the licorice who was pasting window flowers: "Your second lady agreed, and gave me the crispy duck and pike crab to heat up......

"Bring some more shredded ginger and vinegar." Xiao Wanyao also followed into the house, and immediately felt very warm, Xiao Zhuangzi hurriedly went out to hot dishes, and licorice stayed to serve Xiao Wanyao.

"I said I wanted to eat hot, none of the food I ordered was hot, and the crab was still cold, so if you want to eat it, you must eat it with vinegar and ginger, which can not only drive away the cold, but also enhance the taste." Xiao Wanyao instructed.

After sitting down for a while, Xue Tianao couldn't hold it back: "Licorice, the small kitchen must have prepared sugar steamed cheese and bean paste cake!?" Bring some first, I'm hungry. ”

Licorice glanced at Xue Tianao strangely, and Yan Zhan Ng wondered if he had just gone out to perform acrobatics.

After a while, licorice served a few plates of pastries first, Xue Tianao ate first, and it didn't take long for Xiao Zhuangzi to serve hot dishes, except for Xue Tianao's designation, there were a few more others, and the table was full, and it looked very rich.

Just now because of Xue Tianao's visit, Xiao Wanyao didn't eat a few bites of food, and she obviously felt hungry after exercising at this time, so she asked Xiao Zhuangzi and Licorice to sit down together, and the four of them shared a large table of food together.

At first, Xiao Zhuangzi was afraid of Xue Tianao, because he was on an errand in Jiaofang Palace, so he was quite restrained in the face of Xue Tianao at first, but later found that Xue Tianao was in a very good mood at this time, and after a long time, he relaxed.

Xue Tianao didn't have the arrogant frame of the past, but he talked and laughed with licorice and Xiao Zhuangzi, and mingled, Xiao Wanyao saw it in her eyes, and there was a trace of warmth in her heart.

However, after a while, I heard a loud noise outside, and in a blink of an eye, half of the sky was brightly reflected, thinking that it was the end of the state banquet, and it was the time when the fireworks in the Wei State were the most grandiose in the year.

"Second Miss, let's go out and watch the fireworks!?" Licorice was the most curious, and couldn't help but ask Xiao Wanyao.

Xiao Wanyao nodded, so the four of them went out one after another to stand on the palace road.

Colorful fireworks bloom in the sky, one after another, and the night sky is as dazzling as day.

According to the usual practice, this fireworks will last for an hour, Xiao Wanyao looked up for a long time, her neck was a little sore, and she was reluctant to look away.

It's been a year since she was reborn, and there have been twists and turns, and every time she feels that she is one step away from happiness, the heavens will coldly put reality in front of her, as if telling her that the price of starting over again is very great......

She was almost knocked down every time, but she unconsciously survived a year, from the initial single-handedness to now being accompanied by these people, which she had never had in her previous life......

Except for the wrong move of entering the palace, but it will not lose all the games, so it is probably satisfactory to sum up the life of this year.

In the second year of Yuanshuo, it ended in this grand fireworks......

On the sixteenth day of the first month of the third year of Yuanshuo, the lively New Year's and New Year's ceremonies finally ended, and the palace gradually returned to calm, everyone's lives began to get on track, and the palace began to be quiet.

Tang Siqi has never come to see Xiao Wanyao in the past fifteen days, although he has been to Jiaofang Hall a few times, but he has come to Xue Qingyi, and he has not stopped by to see her, as Xiao Wanyao expected, he is pressuring Xiao Wanyao in this way, asking her to prepare as soon as possible.

But Tang Siqi never expected that he would fulfill Xiao Wanyao's wish by doing so, Xiao Wanyao not only would not take the initiative to find Tang Siqi, but would drag on for a longer and longer time. Tang Siqi set an embarrassing threshold for himself, but now he himself is still unaware.

During the New Year, Xue Tianao became a frequent visitor to the other courtyard, the reason was to come to eat and drink, Xiao Wanyao annoyed him at first, and then Xiao Wanyao got used to it, and Xue Tianao came and went freely, no one could stop him anyway.

The whole New Year was relaxed, Xue Qingyi didn't seem to have much patience, so she used the excuse of being busy in the New Year to avoid Xiao Wanyao, maybe she had already felt Tang Siqi's thoughts about Xiao Wanyao, so she wanted to speed up the pace to get rid of Xiao Wanyao.

Then Xue Qingyi will no longer let Xiao Wanyao give her this kind of conditioning that is dispensable in her opinion.

Concubine Jin is too, although she is taboo about Xiao Wanyao's existence in the palace, but now she is bound by the family's marriage contract, and she is also holding back, for fear that something will go wrong during the period.

Xiao Wanyao knows all this, everyone has their own thoughts and regards her as an enemy, all because of Tang Siqi, so Xiao Wanyao has already figured it out, no matter what, she can't live a life of fighting like in her previous life, once she is trapped, the struggle will never end.

The capital of Wei was located in the north, and there was no spring in February, and it was not until the end of the month that the snow melted and the rivers were lifted.

Tang Siqi publicly put Xiao Wanrou's marriage on the agenda, and asked to personally participate in the preparation of the wedding to show his importance to the Xiao family and the Zhou family.

In this way, Tang Siqi can also have a reason to summon Xiao Wanyao again, the reason is to ask her to prepare for her sister's wedding.

Xiao Wanyao sighed deeply after learning the news, and reluctantly agreed.

Tang Siqi was reading a book in the Xuanshu Palace, and when he saw Xiao Wanyao coming, he didn't give a good face, but just said with a stiff face: "The widow promised to give your sister a grand wedding, and now that the marriage has been put on the agenda, the widow needs you to build a house on the side, you are Xiao Wanrou's sister, you should know her mind better." ”

Tang Siqi now regrets giving Xiao Wanyao a promise for her to prepare, and this preparation seems to be far away.

He is a king, and he speaks a lot, but he is also a human being, and his patience is limited.

Xiao Wanyao saw his thoughts, but she also pretended not to notice it, and said that Jun's heart was unpredictable, if it weren't for the fact that they had lived together for nearly fourteen years in the previous life, Xiao Wanyao would have figured out Tang Siqi's temper and character, and I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to figure out what Tang Siqi was thinking at this moment.

It is precisely because she knows his thoughts and bottom line that Xiao Wanyao is not afraid, and the time can be delayed, because this is not beyond the scope of Tang Siqi's patience.

"My sister has always liked to be in the limelight, and she thinks that being superior is the most important thing in everything, so from the wedding dress to the pomp, it must be the best." Xiao Wanyao said quietly.

Thinking about it, although Xiao Wanyao was already a concubine in her previous life, and one person in the harem was above ten thousand people, but after all, she was only a concubine, not a main room, her husband did not give her a wedding, and after she entered the palace, she only received a holy decree and a seal from Tang Siqi according to the canonical system. Weddings are really new to her.

Tang Siqi nodded and said, "Not to mention marriage, just the prime minister marrying a daughter should be beautiful, and the pomp must be there......"

Although Xiao Wanyao didn't care, Tang Siqi's words still pricked a certain nerve in Xiao Wanyao, making her lose the desire to speak for a while, and her whole person became gloomy.

Tang Siqi also noticed Xiao Wanyao's abnormal expression, and then thought that he was talking too inappropriately, Xiao Wanyao, like her sister, is the daughter of the prime minister, but Xiao Wanyao is about to be canonized as a concubine, according to the Wei Dynasty system, only the queen in the harem can marry in from Taihemen and enjoy the wedding. And if Xiao Wanyao is a concubine, there will be no wedding.

Tang Siqi said: "You envy your sister very much? ”

Xiao Wanyao recalled the past in a trance, and the pictures in her mind flashed one by one, and finally Xiao Wanyao couldn't deny it, and said calmly: "Yes, I envy her, since she was a child." Although we are sisters and we have the same father, our lives have been very different since we were young. She is a concubine, her mother is the main house, I am a concubine, I was born as an ominous person, even my father wanted to drown me directly, and in the end it was my uncle who rescued me and sent me to my aunt's place......"

Tang Siqi couldn't help frowning: "How come the widow has never heard of these things?" ”

Xiao Wanyao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This is not a glorious thing, how can my father let others know?" Fortunately, he took me home last year and restored my identity, and my father was still very good to me this year. ”I1483
