The air was filled with smoke that had drifted away from the burning of the fire at night. ～

The people walking on the road in the palace formed a team in twos and threes.

There are few dialogues, and everyone's faces are tired.

However, I looked around and saw the figure at the front of the line.

I froze, and the man turned back in a hurry.

He actually glanced at me with a smile!

My heart beat faster, at this time, this outfit, how could he be in the team?

My mind was a little confused, and I clenched my fists for a moment and stood there nervously.

The person behind me gave me a gentle push on the shoulder, and with some hesitation, I reacted quickly from the middle of the road and walked to the grass by the side of the road.

My instincts were incomparably accurate, and in the blink of an eye, I saw him walk from the front of the line to my side.

He walked through the hurried palace people on both sides of the road, and came from the middle of the road to where I stood.

I stared at him, he was dressed in the clothes of the Imperial City Patrol, and I still recognized the emblem on his clothes!

At the beginning of entering the palace, when the female officials gave us lessons, they specially taught us to distinguish the different dresses of the people in the palace to match their identities, which was a compulsory course.

Walking in the palace, clothing represents a person's identity, status, and is a message of recognition and a sign of identification.

If you are not careful, you will make jokes.

On this morning, one after another men dressed in the same attire walked around the palace, and the men of the Imperial City Patrol were around the treasury. I saw a lot, so many people, that my first reaction was to guess that those people were all mobilized by the empress.

She was guarding someone in the main building of Penglai Pavilion. When you can't leave, it's not difficult to understand how to mobilize some elites to come over to help.

There are many emergencies that the Imperial City Patrol has dealt with.

Just thinking about it like this, my heart is a little sour again

After a brief moment of distraction, I came to my senses and looked up at him again, his head down. Even with a bit of deliberately slightly clumsy back, a person's walking demeanor will affect the overall feeling.

After a busy firefight in the middle of the night, no one would have such a morning. There will be spare time to pay attention to the two palace people who stop on the side of the road!

Half of the masters in the small courtyard stayed in the treasury and waited, so they accompanied the housekeeper Qingzhi to keep the news.

The other half, under the leadership of Uncle Yuan, went back to the flower garden one step ahead of me.

The midnight fire in the treasury is expected to come to the palaces to judge the situation. There will be no interest in coming to the flower garden early in the morning to bother with flowers.

Uncle Yuan rushed back. It is to take care of the precious flowers and plants that need to be watered, and some water needs to be poured before sunrise.

For this reason, Qingzhi also specially instructed him.

He was no more than a foot away from me, and he motioned with his eyes for me to take a few steps towards the woods beside me, and my mind was blank, and my footsteps had followed.

Right now, I'm just an insignificant little maid in the Sealand Palace, and he only needs to move his fingers. I can imagine what good fruit I will eat!

Besides, last time. I witnessed his secret, and to say that the scar-faced man teased me for "leaving the whole body" is also true, my heart is full of questions about this person, but I feel that he has no malicious intentions.

All kinds of complicated feelings added up, so I didn't think too much about it and obeyed his wishes

Stopping under a tree near the lakeside, He Yanzhi took off the hat on his head with some impatience.

I was amazed to see that he had something similar to the veil on his hat under his hat.

With a double restraint, it's no wonder that it's not uncomfortable, no wonder his face is so stinky!

He reached out to wipe the black ash from his face, and I suddenly noticed that this man seemed to be a little more handsome than the last time I had seen him in the Lin Tak Temple.

It's a strange feeling!

I remind myself that sleepless people are prone to hallucinations, and I must be blind!

I was about to salute in a proper manner, but he reached out and tugged at my sleeve, pulled me up and said unhappily, "This is not the Lin De Palace. ”

The long hair was scattered over my shoulders, and I looked sideways, and the familiar feeling reappeared and quickly floated up.

How can it be so much like Ji Jiu?

I followed him all the way from the border of Zealand to the imperial city, and after I entered the palace, I hadn't seen anyone in that place for some time.

Ji Jiu, Xiao An them.

He turned his head suddenly, met my eyes, and said in a clear and soft voice with a little surprise in his eyes: "You are indeed bold enough, I asked you to follow, and you followed." ”

"If you want to kill me, you will have to wait until now," since he doesn't like to bow down, I just follow my own ideas.

I leaned closer to the tree, and said with an undisguised look of tiredness in my eyes: "I was played back last time, and I can't make an exception today." ”

I had a gut feeling that he was someone I could talk to.

Could it be that last time I was in the Lin De Palace, my worries were superfluous?

He was stunned for a moment, probably shocked by my words, but there was no disgust in his eyes, and he seemed to accept this way of speaking.

He sat down on the bluestone under the tree, looked sideways at the lake, and said with a familiar smile: "You are also the palace maid selected by the Yamen of the National Capital of China?" "Hmm" I hesitated, but decided to tell the truth halfway, "I have a relative in the palace, so I want to come in and open up some joints, otherwise, I probably won't be able to get in." “

"Relatives in the palace?" He raised an eyebrow and glanced at me, in a questioning tone.

"Yes." I replied with my eyes down.

"Good luck."

"Yes." "As you said, with my appearance, I am lucky to have passed the selection of the national capital yamen." "Indeed."

He Yanzhi said with a smile, looked back at the burned treasury, and his interest was a little better.

I saw his arms peeking out of his sleeves, wrapped in a thick cloth. Last time, I didn't pay special attention to these details in the Lin De Hall. "Your hand hurts?" As a healer, I almost subconsciously came to the sentence.

As soon as the words came out, I felt that it was inappropriate. Fortunately, he didn't delve into it, nodded and glanced at his arm, rolled up his sleeve and brushed his wrist and said, "I heard that it's been some time." ”

He paused in his tone, and then continued: "Last time, I was bumped into by a group of new palace maids from you. ”

My heart shook.

Before I could think about it, I turned my head and looked with him at the lake in the early morning palace. A faint mist rising from the surface of the lake.

Seeing that the late autumn of the Sealand Palace is about to pass, it will not be long before it will be winter.

Very consistent. No one mentioned what happened last time when they were delivering flowers in the Lin De Temple. "In the middle of the night yesterday, you also came to put out the fire?"

He Yanzhi looked at the lake and asked in a low voice.

"Yes," I said, looking at him strangely. "Someone who came. It's all for the treasury to put out the fire. ”

"Fortunately, although the fire was very large, it only burned a corner."

"The people in the treasury are also in good condition, I heard that only a few were slightly injured, and when the fire broke out, the people in the treasury quickly escaped."

"But I don't understand," I paused, and unsurprisingly saw his brow move.

"Why is Your Highness dressed like this?"

I glanced at his Imperial City Patrol clothes, and what I thought of it. It's very incompatible with his people.

He was silent for a moment, then continued, "If I tell you. I'm here to set the fire, do you believe it or not? “

I looked at him for a long time, and suddenly grinned: "This is your home, you are in a bad mood and set a fire, that's also your business." ”

"It's your stuff that's burning."

"My home, that's a new statement." His brows furrowed, but the corners of his mouth were pulled up.

"It's better not to set fire in the future, there are various ways to be in a bad mood." "Including now, the way I talk to you?" "Well, it's one of a kind." "Fortunately, there were no casualties this time, only a little skin trauma."

In fact, when it comes to this fire, there are many doubts in the middle, and I heard that there were many people in the treasury at that time, but I really don't know what those people were doing in the middle of the night without sleeping.

I tilted my head and thought, "If you really want to put it, you have to choose it during the day, in the middle of the night, everyone is sleeping, and it's too hard to rush over." "Including you?" "Including me."

He gave me a noncommittal look. "You're now," he said, putting the hat back on and turning his head, "I mean, you're working in the garden?" ”

"Well, it's been a few days, and when I got up and entered the palace, I followed a few sisters to the training ground in the palace, where there were female officials who taught me, and they were learning the rules for many days."

"You learned," he complained to me, "the posture you just saluted"

"Not very well learned, I know." I'm embarrassed to say, he knows how to do it, so naturally you can see it.

"I remember that the emperor seems to have been here when he was in the training ground."

"On the side of the Hanging Flower Gate, several of us heard the voice of the emperor, although we couldn't see your true face at that time." "How's it going?" "It's even better than I expected."

I said bluntly, in exchange for a faint smile from him, and the spring breeze was blowing.

At this point, I glanced at him sideways, and when I saw his focused gaze staring at me, I couldn't help coughing, and said in a calm tone, "Don't you remember?" “

He was looking at me. "You are a noble man and forget things."

He thought for a moment and calmly answered: "I remember, there was such a thing a few days ago. "When I passed by, I went to take a look, and there are new people coming in the palace every year, and this year because of the war in the north, a lot of time has been delayed." "The selection was postponed."

I hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath and said, "You said at the time, when this group of people is trained, Lin Dedian will also choose three to go over, do you remember?" "Remember," he whispered, "I said that." “

I jumped in a hurry, and turned my head to look in the direction of the main road in the palace, where the people who had come out of the treasury had walked away intermittently, and now the road was empty. "Emperor, if you don't have any orders, I'm going back to the flower garden."

"Now I'm the helper of the steward over there, and she stays in the treasury to wait for news, and asks me to go back and take care of the flowers and plants in the conservatory first." "Several masters have taken the first step, I can't delay too long on the road, I'm afraid someone will find a steward to get something."
