On the way back to Chenji Palace, I passed by the palace dance and orchestra workshop, and I heard the musician rehearsing the music to be used for the New Year, the sound of silk and bamboo, and the sound of the guzheng.

Listening to it, I suddenly remembered that I saw Ah Han in a trance in the Qinglou, did I see it wrong?

I shook my head, probably not. Just thinking of this, I suddenly saw Qingge coming over from a distance with a plate, and when he saw me, he greeted me with a smile and said with a smile: "Chuxi, are you back?" Do you want to go back to the dormitory? ”

I nodded and asked, "What's on the plate?" ”

Qingge smiled: "This is a new type of pastry steamed with plum blossoms. ”

I smiled and prepared to take a piece and taste it: "What a coincidence, I actually want to make this flower and tree into a pastry." ”

Qingge slapped my hand away, and said angrily: "It's not for you to eat, I'm going to send it to the concubine of the cold palace, I heard that those old palace people accidentally mentioned that the concubine loves plum, but unfortunately she can't come out to enjoy the plum now, so I want to send some of this pastry." ”

I pursed my lips, and then praised: "If it's for the concubine, I won't say anything, it's just Qingge, you must be quiet when you send it, don't let others know." ”

Qingge nodded and said, "Naturally, the concubine sent a message a few days ago, asking you to thank you." ”

I sighed: "It's not sympathetic and pitiful, but I can understand the concubine, if there are any new things in the future, if you are not so clichéd, you will also send some to the concubine." ”

Qingge nodded and smiled: "It's also, it's just casual effort, it's not worth anything." ”

The two of us talked and laughed all the way back to Chenji Palace.

……

After a few days of idle in the palace, I thought that Ah Han might come to me, but my wish was disappointed. I couldn't hold back and looked around.

Turning east and west, I still have no place to stay, I thought about it, and walked towards the small courtyard where Ah Han lived with my memory, and I still didn't find it after a long time, and I couldn't ask about the palace people who came and went along the way, and I couldn't ask the princess about the residence of a prince who had not yet become a family.

I didn't look for it until I found it, but I just went around admiring the Royal Garden.

It's going to enter the wax moon, just a few days ago outside the palace to see the noisy New Year's goods, ready for the New Year, this season, the palace people who come and go in the palace are also back and forth with exquisite palace lamps or festival supplies, but also a situation to celebrate the New Year.

I was tired after walking all the way, so I looked for a way back to Chenji Palace, but I didn't expect that after a few turns, I saw Ahan's small courtyard, walked along the smooth stone road, and saw from a distance that there were still one or two points of snow on the sparse branches of the sycamore in the courtyard.

I rushed over, but found that the courtyard door was locked, I looked in along the crack in the door, the snow in the courtyard had not yet disappeared, and I looked at Ah Han probably not coming back for a while, so I turned around and went back.

When I returned to Chenji Palace, I saw the palace lamps on the table with delicate yarns, and Qingge was carefully checking them one by one.

I asked her, "What is this going to do?" ”

Qingge still checked it carefully, and said: "This is the New Year's festival supplies in the Chenji Palace, I will take a look at the palace lamp first, I am afraid that it will be unstable, if it falls down at the New Year's point or is not heartily burned, it will be bad, I still take a closer look at it first." ”

I nodded, and stopped bothering her, and sat by the fire and drank tea.

After reading it, Qingge recruited a few little palace maids to take the palace lamp out, and he sat next to me to roast the fire, and asked me, "Where did you go today?" The tenth master sent the palace people to stew haode ginseng red dates and black chicken soup, and the people sent by the tenth master said that the red dates are the big red dates in the northwest, the sweetest, and the best blood nourishment. Ginseng is a tribute to Goryeo, and it is also the best, and the black chicken is wild and free-range, which is very nourishing, and I will simmer it for you on the charcoal stove, so I will bring it to you now. ”

I nodded, and watched Qingge come over with a few small cups and chicken soup after a while, scooped a cup and handed it to me, I tasted it, in fact, the taste of this soup is quite strange, but after swallowing it, the taste changes, and it is full of flavor.

I smiled and said, "It's delicious, you can taste it too, Qingge." ”

Qingge sat down and said, "Chu Xi, you only need to replenish your body now, what am I doing with such a nourishing soup?" ”

I didn't pay attention to her, picked up a small cup and scooped a bowl of soup, and heard Qingge say to me: "By the way, today the tenth master also taught someone to say that he asked you to leave the palace tomorrow." ”

I handed the soup to Qingge, looked at her and said, "I know, Ah Qing is suffocated again." ”

"Chu Xi, you always go out, but be careful not to call the bad guy yujian."

I laughed: "Where are there so many accidents!" ”

Qingge and I talked around the fire for a long time and then slept separately.

……

On the second day, Qi Yue and I took the waist card and left the palace like the previous times.

I was looking at the woven zodiac animals at the stall, vivid, Qi Yue pulled me and whispered: "Chuxi, someone is following us." ”

I was stunned, looking at Qi Qing still looking at a woven rabbit unknowingly, I gently said to Qi Yue: "Ah Yue, why don't we go back to the palace, I'm a little worried." ”

Qi Yue insisted: "No, I'm going to meet, where is it sacred!" ”

I couldn't stop it, so Qi Yue pulled Ah Qing and walked slowly, looking back from time to time, making Qi Qing inexplicable, and asked tenderly: "What is the fifth brother doing?" ”

I was just about to speak, when Qi Yue suddenly said to me: "Chuxi, if we go separately, we can probably find out those people." ”

I refused, "No, it's too risky." ”

Qi Yue didn't listen to my dissuasion, and said, "Chu Xi, you and Ah Qing together, we will split into two ways and meet in the Qinglou last time." ”

I was a little anxious, and said sharply: "No, even if you want to separate, Ah Qing can't follow me." ”

Qi Qing pouted, I touched his head, and coaxed: "Ah Qing, be good, listen to me." Then he said to Qi Yue: "It's okay to separate, you and Ah Qing together, I don't have the ability to protect Ah Qing, so be it." After saying that, I squeezed towards the bustling crowd, and Qi Yue didn't have time to hold me.

I wandered around the street by myself, looking here and there, and thought, it's a shame that I'm dressed as a man, otherwise it's really difficult for a woman to be alone on the street.

I looked around and found that a few people were not quite right, and they were all panicked to find something to cover up when they saw me turn around.

I'm starting to wonder, so if you say that, the people who are stalking Ah Yue is stalking me? Or, at this moment, they are divided into two groups, one group follows me, and the other group follows Ah Yue and Ah Qing.
