The empress stretched out her hand, and then waved it, "No need, you can step down." “

Silence reigned in the study.

A moment later, the acolyte, who was waiting outside, crept in.

He crouched down and cleaned up the broken porcelain fragments on the ground with quick movements.

His movements were so light, but the pressure in his heart was obvious, and the sweat on his forehead was dripping.

The Empress sat there, her gaze deep, her gaze following the movements of her attendants.

From beginning to end, she didn't say a word

Under the towering city walls is the gateway to the national capital.

As the date approached, many additional guards were stationed at the gate, and the checks were stricter, and the number of pedestrians entering and leaving the capital continued unabated.

Early in the morning of this day, the guards guarding the city gate of the national capital city ushered in a caravan.

The situation in Sealand was affected by the beginning of the war in the Northlands, and there were a few days of depression in the city.

Later, due to natural disasters, the battle situation in the city was stagnant for a while, and the shops in the city that had been deserted for a few days resumed the lively scene again.

As the war dragged on, even onlookers were speculating whether the men on both sides would sit down for peace talks.

As a result, business in the city is even more prosperous, and with the festival approaching, its bustling Cheng dù is not inferior to any previous year.

The number of caravans entering the city was small, about a dozen in total, and they were divided into several carriages.

The guards guarding the city were quickly inspected and let them go.

The carriage passed through the city gates. Slowly drive into the national capital.

After entering the city, the caravan went straight and made a detour along the long street, all the way to the bridge. After a few turns, it stopped in front of a newly opened winery.

Those who come up and down have to look closely to notice the difference between them and the Sealand people, thanks to the effect of the transfiguration.

The owner of the winery seemed to have gotten the news a long time ago, and as soon as he saw the caravan stopped, he shouted inside: "Xiao Qi." When the guests came, they were still stupid and what were they doing, hurry up and get out! Little Seven! “

I'm standing by the steamer. Looking at the hot air coming from above, I stared intently, and without paying attention, the person who burned the fire behind me looked at me with his elbow and said, "He also said that I would taste it first." How I look. You don't want to miss the first one. “

Emma, the sun is out in the west, and Po Sun actually joked with me, I just saw her awkwardly come in and tell me to help, and the surprise in my heart has not passed.

Could it be that eating other people's soft mouths and taking other people's hands is really an eternal truth?

I sent a small sachet and gained friendship?

I turned my head to stare at her, and was immediately attracted by her and said, "Pay attention to your posture." This is something that only happens to men, right? “

I'm talking about your ** posture!

Baoshan quickly put down his hands and walked out without looking back. I was thinking about her reaction, I heard the voice behind her, the footsteps of going back and forth, and knew that it was Qingzhi and Gu Lan who had arrived.

Compared with Cui'er's craftsmanship, it's still a little worse, but it's different from the zuò made in the palace, mainly because the dim sum craftsmanship of Huguo has always been famous, and I have been taught by a heavyweight master like Cui'er. "Sister Qingzhi," I asked, pulling her outside the house, "if this gift is sent to the Lin De Palace, it won't be withdrawn, right?" "No, no, it's very fresh and delicious, Xiaoling really can't see that you still have this craft."

I'd love to say that there's a lot more you can't see, but in the midst of these events, it's better to keep a low profile, a little low-key.

I was relieved and said, "Sister, that's fine." “

At night, the few boxes that Qingzhi helped me find were still loaded when the messenger delivered snacks in the main building of Penglai Pavilion last time.

I frowned and looked at the peculiar markings on my head, and I was really embarrassed.

I'm going to send it to the Lin De Hall like this, will that master lose his appetite when he sees the box?

Hesitating, in my heart, I turned my head and begged Gu Lan.

She was embroidering under the lamp right now, and the one I had brought back to her was the one I had brought back today.

Gu Lan said, although the flowers and plants on it are fresh and very chic, but looking at the huge handkerchief with only this cluster of flowers is a little monotonous.

The embroidery is particular about the layout, and the handkerchief is used as a canvas, so it is natural to have a harmonious pattern composition that suits the occasion.

What Gu Lan added was a pair of colorful butterflies.

I saw that she threaded the needle and thread, her fingers were dexterous, and the pattern under the needle was even more lifelike, so I couldn't help but lean in and said: "Sister Lan, come up with an idea for me, the steward took great pains to find the box for me, and it is really not suitable to send it to the Lin De Palace." "Sister Lan, I'm going to send it tomorrow morning, can you think of a way to modify it for me, at least don't let people see that it's a unique thing in the main building of Penglai Pavilion." "Xiaoling, I heard that the steward of Qingzhi said that it was for the people under His Royal Highness Lin De, so he also needs to be so particular?" "Sister Lan, the big official is so difficult to see the little ghost, I really want to give it to that noble master, but I am not so elegant, just because I have to go through the hands of the people below, I am cautious."

A smile flashed on Gu Lan's lips: "Xiaoling, you girl is getting more and more ghostly, it's only been a few days in the flower garden, and it's much more slippery than when you were in the training ground." "How can my sister say that," I frowned, "and if you can't understand these doorways in the palace, you won't know what is going on when you are sinned?" "It's not innate, it's been practiced here, who doesn't want to have a better life?"

My words caused Gu Lan to fall into deep thought, and her expression was very complicated.

I pushed her arm, and Gu Lan continued the topic just now: "But I see that you are so attentive, are you prepared for the emperor?" ”

"Sister, don't guess," of course I won't tell the truth, and said with a sloppy look, "put in a little more effort, in case they send it to the emperor, they won't be blamed, and they will always keep a hand." ”

I can't tell the truth, and I don't want to tell the truth.

"Sister Qingzhi knows the purpose of dim sum and found a box for me, but we have something here. All have the imprint of Penglai Pavilion. "It's not that you don't know that Penglai Pavilion and Lin De Hall - the relationship between the two sides is delicate," I said bluntly to Gu Lan, "although it is a dim sum made by my own hands. I'm also half of Penglai Pavilion's people, but I still have to avoid suspicion, can my sister help me with this? "Before, I came to me in the middle of the night for something," Gu Lan stopped the embroidery work in her hand, looked at me with a smile and said, "This is not difficult, I will help you." “

A moment later. I came out of her room, and the box I was carrying had changed, and I was looking at it. It seems to be a certain country style that was often seen before the crossing, and the outside of the box is wrapped in a delicate handkerchief.

Anyway, it's pleasing to the eye, and the snacks I made put in it. It looks much more exquisite than those time-honored shops in the national capital.

It's like a beautiful dress worn by a beauty!

This night. It is destined to be unsettled, and the things that go out all day need to be digested slowly.

The words that He Yan said in the forest took me even more time to think about.

And the main building, which never stops, and I wonder what I would do if the order came tomorrow morning.

After tossing and turning, I lost sleep again!

Finally got up depressed. Gave up the idea of sleeping.

Walked to the window and looked at the main building of Penglai Pavilion in the distance where the lights were not turned off all night. My eyes are fixed, and I can't take my eyes off them.

A few days had passed since that night and to-night, and no one had come back to the humble hut to try to make some noise to distract me.

It's a strange feeling, like a little expectation, but also like an escape, always feeling that so many things have happened in one day, don't you need an end?

There was no moon tonight, and there were faint clouds turning in the sky, and the sudden lightning cut through the black curtain, and it turned out to be a rare winter thunder.

I was standing in front of the window and watching, looking at the sky in amazement.

Dark clouds overwhelm the city, and another lightning strikes!

My body stiffened, and I stood still in front of the window, and for a moment I had a sense of foreboding in my heart!

The lightning of the winter night illuminates the capital city.

It also illuminates a small courtyard in a corner of the city.

Standing in front of the window, the troupe owner looked at the dark night and the bright lights coming one after another in the sky, he couldn't help but be worried, he hesitated for a moment, and immediately found a few young people in the troupe to clean up the props in the courtyard.

The colorful flags, the knives and guns used for practice, were all transferred to the house.

The young man who was working hurriedly asked: "Class master, why do you remember that everything has been collected?" ”

The troupe owner said in a low voice: "Look at this day, I'm afraid there will be a heavy rain soon, if it falls, it will be troublesome if it is too late to collect it." “

With a glance, his gaze swept over the room on the east side of the small courtyard, and the dim light was on, and under the shadow was a thin silhouette.

came to the courtyard for two days, and the man went out except for the third year of junior high school, and even the rest of the time even the meal was sent in by the elementary school apprentice.

The external saying is that he has lost his throat from practicing, and he has stopped practicing and maintaining it in the past few days, preparing to enter the palace.

A trace of worry crossed the eyes of the class master, and his heart has been hanging since Mr. Bai left.

The stove under the eaves was steaming white, and in the night, the fragrance of tea and water vapor were wafting together, and the troupe owner beckoned a primary school apprentice to come over. "Go and bring tea to Mr. Bai."

A bolt of lightning illuminated the courtyard of Penglai Pavilion, and the empress came out of the house, her gaze quickly shifting to the sky in the distance. "It's going to rain, Your Majesty." The female officer who remained in the courtyard and waited stepped forward and whispered.

The empress's face was more gloomy than the canopy in front of her, and she stepped out of the small courtyard with a heavy heart, and left with a strong footstep.

In the main building of Penglai Pavilion, there are also people leaning against the window and looking at the sky outside, and they see the successive lightning tearing the sky apart and illuminating the entire sky.

Mo Yan pondered for a while, and stepped forward helplessly: "Childe, why do you bother to speak out? ”

The person leaning in front of the window turned his head, his posture was idle, his eyes turned slightly to look at Mo Yan, and he smiled and said, "What are you worried about?" ”

(ps: I just saved 10,000 words, I was busy, I ran out in three days, I couldn't save the manuscript, and I was in a hurry to break it?) (To be continued......)
