Throughout the Spring Festival, Xiao Jing hid in the gate of the Zhenguo Mansion and did not go out of the second door, either hiding in the Mantuo Garden to read or draw tricks, and the farthest was to go to Fuliuyuan to see Li Yinghong and Xiao Siyuan, because she was afraid of the cold, she always added a lot of carbon fire to the house, and her face was red every time she went out.

In a blink of an eye, it was the Lantern Festival, the queen ordered people to put the lanterns all over the palace, I heard that it was very good-looking, so I invited the young ladies and sons of the queen mother and the queen mother to enjoy the lanterns, and they were very enthusiastic.

The ladies who received the invitation were naturally very happy, saying that it was to enjoy the lanterns, but it was better to say that it was a speed dating activity for men and women, holding the festive red invitation, Xiao Jing felt a headache.

"Look at Miss like that, like she wants to die!" Pei'er pulled Suiyu and a few people to the corner to chatter, laughing while talking, and teasing Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing glanced at a few people, this is not just fatal, on such a cold day, it would have cost her life if she went out, not to mention that she had to be cautious from time to time when she entered the palace? It takes time, effort, and effort, and there are a few lives that are not enough for people to play.

"It's not uncommon for our young ladies to compete with other young ladies for anything, and they don't worry about getting married, why are you sitting there in the cold? There are tea and snacks at home, how warm it is to lie in the quilt, this is nothing to do~" Shuang'er raised her head, and the cute maid's bun made her look light and moving.

Xiao Jing closed the invitation, silently gave Shuang'er a thumbs up, and gave thirty-two likes.

Shuang'er blinked, even more proud, snorted and picked up the small scissors to repair the flowers, Xiao Jing pouted, her long eyelashes blinked and blinked, these maids, the shelf is getting bigger and bigger.

"After all? To go or not to go? Qing'er frowned, looked at Xiao Jing and asked.

"Not going? Waiting for the queen's phoenix to pick it up? My dear ...... Is it up to me to decide whether this will go or not? If I can decide, I will say that everyone will not come to the palace in the future, let me die here alone, and you all go back to the bed to hide......" Xiao Jing's crisp voice sounded in the room, causing the maids in the room in Mantuoyuan to laugh, I have never seen this kind of young lady, both cute and helpless.

Seeing them cover their mouths and laugh one by one, Xiao Jing couldn't say anything, lying on the table and wanting to cry without tears, who would understand the sadness of the old lady?

Helpless, in the end, Xiao Jing reluctantly got up from the quilt before dawn, Shuang'er heard the movement and immediately got up and added some charcoal to the brazier to make the house warmer, so as not to let Xiao Jing catch a cold.

Several people waited for her to wash, and finally picked out a new begonia red dress to put on, only to see that it was embroidered with various flowers, noble and beautiful, elegant and moving.

With a slight application of rouge gouache, it looks even more charming and seductive.

Pei'er was skillful, and pulled a good-looking bun for Xiao Jing, because the Spring Festival had just passed, and it was the Lantern Festival, so the dress should be more grand, so she inserted a few hairpins and wore a hollow flower carving bracelet, today's Xiao Jing is really beautiful and moving.

Early in the morning, Li Yinghong came over, saying that she came to see if Xiao Jing was ready, and handed a letter to Xiao Jing and asked her to pass it on to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Jing is a first-class female official, so she can naturally enter and leave the palace freely, looking at the letter handed by Li Yinghong, although there are only two pieces of paper, Xiao Jing feels extremely heavy.

Nodding and agreeing to Li Yinghong, she will definitely hand over the letter to Xiao Jing with her own hands, looking at the grateful look in Li Yinghong's eyes, Xiao Jing really couldn't stand it, "Madam, I said that I have already treated you as a mother, and I told my daughter to do something, why should I be moved like this?" ”

"Miss, I really don't know how to thank you!" Li Yinghong took Xiao Jing's hand and covered it in her hand, tears flowing.

"Okay, okay, my heart is messed up when you cry, this outfit is all on it, I can't do it again in a while! It's too late! Xiao Jing thought she could say something to make Li Yinghong stop crying.

"Good, good!" Li Yinghong nodded again and again, and pushed Xiao Jing out of the door, "When you're ready, set off early, be careful on the road." ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Jing nodded, accompanied by Shuang'er and Suiyu out of the Zhenguo Mansion, Pei'er looked at the backs of several people and couldn't help pouting, "Every time the two of them accompany Miss, we stay to watch the yard every time." ”

Qing'er smiled lightly and patted Suiyu's head, "Okay, Shuang'er is more stable than both of us, thinks about more things, and does everything in everything, needless to say with Suiyu, it is best to take care of Miss's safety, accompanied by the two of them, I just hope that when Miss gets married, don't forget to take me as a dowry maid." ”

"That's right!" Pei Er nodded and happily entered the room.

The carriage was swaying all the way, Shuang'er was afraid that Xiao Jing would be cold, so he changed many hand stoves, and he didn't dare to put charcoal fires in the carriage, so even with a hand stove, Xiao Jing was so cold that his whole body trembled.

When I arrived at the gate of the palace, many young ladies also arrived, because the opportunity was rare and the Spring Festival had just ended, and they were particularly festive in wearing red and green.

Seeing the carriage of the Zhenguo Mansion, Shangguan Lanxue and Chu Xinran greeted them immediately, but when they looked at Xiao Jing's cold and purple Qianqian Jade hand, they had to panic, and the two immediately held one of her hands, Shangguan Lanxue did not forget to accuse while sighing, "You are really, the weather is cold, and the body is cold, and you don't wear much ......."

Xiao Jing glanced at the two innocently, "Haven't I dressed enough?" Could it be that you think I am greedy and gain weight during the Spring Festival? Xiao Jing really wore a lot, but because of her thin figure, she didn't look fat no matter how much she wore clothes, so she just wanted to tease them.

"Really, I don't know what to be crazy about on this cold day, I have nothing to do with the lamp~ She is in good health, and we can't accompany Jing'er!" Chu Xinran was neither big nor small, muttering heartlessly, and she was not afraid of others hearing it, this was the gate of the palace, and she was the only one who dared to be so bold Chu Xinran.

"Okay, you're here, don't give me a mouthful!" Shangguan Lanxue was extra cautious, and paid attention to the surrounding environment before she dared to say that Chu Xinran was not, but when she saw her, Chu Xinran stuck out her tongue, and there was no such thing.

Chu Xinran is a person who practices martial arts, her physical strength is very good, she has internal strength to protect her body, even in this winter, she is extremely sparsely dressed, compared to Xiao Jing and Shangguan Lanxue, she looks really "cool~"

Today, she is wearing a pink dress, with a butterfly bead hairpin on her head, because of the walking action, the two butterflies on her head are dancing like real ones, so beautiful~

Compared with Xiao Jing's begonia red, she really has a lot of aura, because she is slender and tall, and she also wears this dress.

Shangguan Lanxue was still dressed in blue, with a thin hairband and a bow on her head, dressed casually, but she couldn't hide her elegance.

No matter how the three of them dressed, they were much lighter than the ladies outside the palace now, because the ladies around them were all wrapped in gauze skirts, and they were not afraid of the cold at all, and the beads on their heads could not be bought without thousands of taels, and Liu Xiangli in the distance saw that the three of them were dressed plainly but were still beautiful and noble, so she chose to stay away from them and walked aside to be with other ladies.

Xiao Jing glanced at her out of the corner of her eye, she was smart, she knew that she was with young ladies who didn't look as good as herself, and she was tall inside, so she really felt like she stood out.

The wind was blowing, with a few snowflakes, Xiao Jing looked up, a light snowflake just fell in front of her, she didn't like winter, but she especially liked snow, and there was a burst of excitement in her heart, "It's snowing!" ”

"Yes! It's snowing again! Shangguan Lanxue's voice was somewhat emotional, but it made people feel that she was a little young and old~

The snow gradually fell, covering the land of Xixia City, Xiao Jing's face was slight, and she stood in the snow dressed in red.

"The queen has an order, please enter the palace, and the attendant maids will be arranged to wait in the Monroe Palace!" The master participated in the palace banquet, and the attendant maids were not allowed to go along, Sui Yu looked at Xiao Jing and nodded slightly, and with a little palace maid going to Monroe Palace, Shuang'er felt a little uneasy, but after seeing Xiao Jing's reassuring smile, he was relieved, smiled slightly, and left.

Several people held hands to prevent them from falling, and there were other ladies around them who fell to the ground because of the slippery road, but the three of them stood still.

On the high city gate, the Queen Mother always maintained a kind smile on the corner of her mouth, looking at the three of them, "It's a little interesting." ”

"It's snowing, it's cold, the Queen Mother should go back!" The grandmother next to her dissuaded again, but the queen mother still smiled and looked at the three people holding hands in the snow, "Look, isn't it a little interesting?" ”

"The Queen Mother is talking about those three?" Mama also frowned.

"Naturally!"

"Hand in hand, you may be affected by one of them falling and the other two, but you still support each other so much and trust each other, I'm afraid it's rare!" Mama is an old man who has been in the palace for many years, and naturally she has seen all the people in the palace like paper, and now when she sees a few young women supporting each other, she will inevitably think of herself when she first entered the palace, sighing and sighing infinitely, and hating time the most and not looking back! In the blink of an eye, it turned white with silver frost.

"I've been in the palace for a few years, and I've only heard three women in one play, but I haven't seen three women with one heart, grandma, have you seen the woman in red in the middle?" The Queen Mother looked sideways slightly, looking at Xiao Jing's gaze but never left, this woman standing in the middle, holding the left and right two, cautiously, step by step, although it was only a few steps, but the Queen Mother seemed to see a lifetime "What an interesting woman!" ”

"You mean Lord Xiao?" Mama followed the Queen Mother's prompt, and it turned out to be Xiao Jing.

"Xiao Jing? Haha~ The mourning family suddenly changed their minds, although Shangguan Lanxue is good, but where can she be against Xiao Jing, this woman will definitely be in the future! The Queen Mother smiled proudly, as if she had found a gem that was rare for a thousand years, and she was so happy in her heart that even the corners of her mouth rose a little.

"But~ Miss Xiao, she ......" Mama hesitated for a while before looking at the Queen Mother, "She hasn't finished yet!" ”

"What's the panic, we have time to wait for her to grow up, but how can I make her my person while she is growing up? It's going to take some effort, Xiao Jing is more difficult to deal with than the others, and the mourning family has to keep an eye on it. The Queen Mother looked farther and farther away, until Xiao Jing, who disappeared from her eyes, was still thinking about how to subdue Xiao Jing.

"Women! What is often all that is loved? Gold and silver jewelry, supreme power and man's favor only! Mama frowned slightly, and said to the Queen Mother, the women in the palace are very snobbish and keen on power, even if it is Xiao Jing, she doesn't think she can escape this.

"No, Mama, you underestimate Xiao Jing too much, believe it or not, from her behavior of leading those two women over and my previous understanding, I can see what kind of person she is, smart, clever, knows how to advance and retreat, and is definitely not as cheesy as Mama thinks, this woman is very sensible, knows what she should and shouldn't have, what belongs to herself, and what does not belong to herself......" Such a woman must be able to go higher and farther in the palace, which is beneficial to herself and harmful to herself, and if she does well, she will have one more left and right hand, If she doesn't do it well, it will be a number of difficult enemies, and she sincerely hopes that she and her will not become enemies, because she is slowly aging, and there are not many years to fight her, but she is so young and energetic, it is really unfair, really hateful.

"If you really think she is the best candidate, why does the Queen Mother sigh?" Noticing that the Queen Mother's expression didn't seem to be as happy as just now, Mama had doubts in her heart, although she also lived in the palace for decades, and she was also considered a good person, but compared to the scheming Queen Mother, it was really much worse, even the county lord of Ning'an, who was loved by him at the beginning, was just the arm she used to be a good person, and now Ning An is married without arguing, and the Queen Mother has never asked her if she is doing well, that is, she helped Mu Fu forget it, this kind of trivial matter can change reputation, where will the Queen Mother refuse?

"It's the best candidate, but it's also the worst candidate, it's good to be smart, it's good to be sensible, but if you betray me one day, then wouldn't I have raised a white-eyed wolf by my side?" This is what she worries about the most, Xiao Jing seems to be a person who hates being bound, if she wants to get rid of her restraints one day, she must do anything.

"What if we had her in our hands?" Mama tried to ask.

"Mama is right, we must find her handle, and then hold it tightly in our hands, so that we can master her, so that she has no place to turn over, and do things for us, we can not only use her intelligence, but also lock her by our side, so that we can have the best of both worlds!" The Queen Mother is selfish, so she doesn't want to care whether others want it or not, as long as she can do it, she will never let it go, if she can't do it, she will throw it aside as a waste chess.

"The emperor's side~" Mama hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to ask the emperor out, beautiful and smart women are naturally good, but what about the emperor? Now she favors Concubine Yun alone, and she is afraid that she will not easily accept other women.

"The emperor will not refuse profitable things, and besides, Xiao Jing will naturally have her way!" For some reason, the Queen Mother believes in Xiao Jing's talent so much, there is no reason, only by feeling.
