The auspicious time has arrived, and the rain has not yet stopped.

Peony said: "Let's not watch here, how distressed it is to watch these yellow gold sent to Li Yan's house——"

"That's not going to work, you'll have to keep your eyes open." Chu Qingluo said that he suddenly thought of something, and said, "Being reminded by you like this, I really want to go and see it with my own eyes." After saying that, he quickly turned around and went into the house to look for an umbrella.

Seeing Chu Qingluo coming out with an umbrella, Peony asked, "Where are you going in the rain?" ”

"Go and say bye-bye to the bad fate."

She shook her hand and rushed into the rain, leaving Peony in place and muttering, "What else is there to worship with the evil fate?" I don't understand......"

With this heavy rain that has not fallen for many days, the sedan chair carrying Ji Qili to the entrance is walking on the corridor out of the palace with difficulty. The sedan chair was followed by a group of people, and they escorted a cart of gift boxes, which contained all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry that Chu Qingluo had ordered for him.

Chu Qingluo held an umbrella, stood on the high platform of Taihe Gate, and looked down on this scene condescendingly. The rain soaked her dress, and she could feel the cold touch of the fabric under her feet, but she was still unmoved.

She had only one thought in her heart, hoping to be with Ji Qili, just like him and this heavy rain. Gone, stopped, don't come back.

Ji Qili on the sedan chair, I don't know if he sensed something, or because he was unwilling, he looked back suddenly......

Chu Qingluo also noticed that he was looking back, but at such a distance, coupled with such a heavy rain, he shouldn't be able to see her clearly.

Ji Qili saw through the dense rain line that the corridor was empty except for them. The dignified prince entered, and the empress did not appear, and the eighth princess did not come to say goodbye. His heart was cold at the moment, and there was a semblance of a smile on his face.

He was about to turn around, but he inadvertently glanced into the distance, and found a bright figure on the high platform of Taihe Gate, standing motionless in the rain.

The corners of Ji Qili's mouth moved involuntarily.

At this time, the only person who would come to see him go to the entrance despite the wind and rain was probably Chu Qingluo.

He withdrew his gaze, raised his right hand high, and made a fist in the air.

He's not going to stop there!

Seeing Ji Qili's move, Chu Qingluo couldn't help but gasp. At this moment, she really felt a chill rapidly invade her body.

She wished that this was the end of the story.

……

The heavy rain stopped for three days, and this rain officially called for winter.

The business of the famous clothing shop has also obviously weakened a lot, but occasionally a few people come to make a few light furs. Chu Qingluo is not in a hurry about this, anyway, the income is enough to maintain the expenses in the workshop, and there is still a little margin. It's getting colder, so it's good to make everyone work a little less.

In the Imperial Palace, the Garment Pavilion and the Guangrentang were busy distributing furs, cloaks, and charcoal to the palaces for the winter.

The charcoal in Fengluan Hall was sent by Chu Qingluo herself, and she overheard the empress and Chonghuan complaining that they hated winter the most, and the futon was covered with several layers, but she still didn't feel warm.

This made Chu Qingluo feel a little puzzled. Isn't there a 'pepper house hall' in the palace that is painted with pepper and mud? She really hadn't paid attention to this.

Thinking about it, Chu Qingluo couldn't help but be a little worried, because she herself was also an extremely cold person. There is neither heating nor a pepper room here, so I wonder how cold it will be in winter? If even the empress feels bad, then how can she resist it?

On the way back to Guangrentang, she has also been thinking about these survival issues.

When I passed through the corridor, I saw a familiar figure coming from a distance. Chu Qingluo's heart tightened, and he immediately stopped and looked around...... It is a narrow corridor with only two exits at both ends. At this time, there was no place to hide except to go back.

It's just that if she runs away at this moment, he will definitely catch up. Simply, she still rubbed shoulders with him head-on.

"Where did Qingluo go just now?" Ji Qiran unexpectedly met Chu Qingluo, obviously in a very good mood, and before she could get closer, he asked first.

"Just came out of the Fengluan Palace." She replied, her gaze resting only on his shoulder, deliberately avoiding his eyes.

Seeing that she had no intention of stopping, Ji Qiran blocked in front of her and blocked her vision in front of her.

At this time, Chu Qingluo's eye-level position was his broad chest...... Ahem, it's the placket.

She still didn't look up at him, just frowned and took a step to the left. Like a shadow, he also stepped to the side at the same time, continuing to block her.

She took another step to the right in displeasure, and he still did.

"You're ......!" Her shoulders were almost touching the walls of the corridor.

Seeing that she would bite her lower lip when she was in a hurry, Ji Qiran couldn't help but reach out and pinch her chin. "Don't bite so hard."

"Nosy." Chu Qingluo glanced at him, and he didn't have a good air.

"Can't you be a little kinder to me?"

"I can't." Without waiting for him to continue asking, she continued, "Don't ask me why, I just can't anyway." If you don't feel happy, just ignore me. ”

"......" He stared at her slightly reddened lips, and something strange welled up in his heart. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and he leaned closer, stretched out his two hands, and forced her against the wall beside him, imprisoned between his arms......

I saw that his strong nose and a pair of seductive eyes were approaching her, and her gaze seemed to be locked by him, completely unable to divert it...... And the ambergris on his body seems to have a kind of magic that makes people lose it.

It wasn't until she was about to touch his lips that she remembered to dodge.

Going to die, going to die! Chu Qingluo, you are really crazy! Because of the shaking of her mind just now, she scolded herself no less than ten times in her heart.

Seeing that her face was flushed, he let go of his hand with satisfaction and said with an evil smile: "You have me in your eyes." ”

"......" Chu Qingluo gasped a few times, and pretended to be calm and retorted: "Nonsense, I'm not blind." ”

"Are you sure?" Ji Qiran raised his eyebrows disappreciatively, and said, "Then I'm such a big person dangling in front of your Chu family, and I don't see you inviting me in?" ”

"When?" After asking this, she realized that he had something to say.

Catching a glimpse of unnaturalness flashing across her face, Ji Qiran knew that she must have understood, and continued: "If you don't invite, I can come to the door in person...... Can you not refuse? ”

"No, no, no!" Chu Qingluo shook his head vigorously and refused very simply.

Ji Qiran seemed to have expected her to have this kind of reaction, and sighed lightly: "Alas, I think I, Ji Qiran, also have such a day......"

"......" Although he said so, his tone was still very relaxed. This made Chu Qingluo speechless, and could only look at him blankly.

"Alright, let's go." Ji Qiran suddenly let go of half of his body and motioned for her to go first.

She glanced at him suspiciously, but didn't move.

"Not leaving?" His black eyes lit up, and he said jokingly: "Then I can pull you back to the Changxuan Palace." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Qingluo had already run out a few meters away. Seeing her escape so fast, Ji Qiran couldn't help but smile and said, "Let's go see Hu Ye together another day-"

Chu Qingluo bit his lower lip and rushed forward, and when he heard his invitation, he didn't look back and shouted: "Don't go-!" ”

knew that she would refuse, Ji Qiran was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Then the Chu family will see-" (To be continued.) )
