Snowflakes are flying like catkins, and the weather is exceptionally cold.

The earth dragon in the house was burning warmly, the boiling water on the small tandoor was gurgling, and the tea was fragrant. Zhou Heng and Cui Keyin sat opposite each other and drank tea, and the two of them hadn't been so free for many days. Cui Keyin asked Zhou Heng: "Why are you so idle today?" ”

Today's rest, it stands to reason that there should be leisure, but Zhou Heng is very busy, in addition to the endless batches of twists and turns, there are also endless ministers, some are for drilling, some are for political affairs, Zhou Heng depends on the situation.

In the morning, Zhou Heng met the two ministers in Biyunju, and when he saw that it was snowing, he ordered him not to see any more guests, and went to Ziyan Pavilion to invite Cui Keyin to drink tea and enjoy the snow.

Enjoying the snow is naturally the best in the Songhe Pavilion, but Lele is still small, and the cold wind can't blow, so it's only in the Purple Smoke Pavilion, and occasionally looks outside through the window paper, and what I want is this relative sitting leisure.

Cui Keyin drank the tea in front of her and said, "Do you know that I am worried about my cousin, so you specially accompany me?" ”

Tang Lun had gone to Luoyang in disguise to investigate what Zhou Kang had done. It's just that Zhou Kang didn't play his cards according to common sense, and he stabbed twice in a row, which made Cui Keyin really worried about Tang Lun's safety.

"Are you worried about Tang Zidun?" Zhou Heng suddenly realized.

Pretend, you pretend. Cui Keyin said: "It seems that you are not specially accompanying me, but really fine?" ”

Is he so idle? Zhou Heng said: "While it's not yet the New Year, let's go to the farm to live for a few days." ”

In another month, I will be preparing for the New Year, and there are a lot of trivial matters, and Cui Keyin will definitely not be able to leave.

Cui Keyin said: "In two days, I went to Daxiangguo Temple with my grandmother and aunt the day before yesterday." ”

Fortunately, it went the day before yesterday. Otherwise, the weather will plummet and it snows, and you will definitely not be able to go. Thinking of accompanying Mrs. Zhang to visit Daxiangguo Temple, Mrs. Zhang worshiped the Buddha when she met and prayed for the safety of the family, Cui Keyin's heart warmed.

Zhou Heng responded and said: "Lele is still young, wait for the snow to clear and the weather warms up." ”

Weather in the capital. It's always very cold just after the snow and a few days after the snow. In a few days, the temperature will be 1 a.m.

Cui Keyin responded. The two chattered about the year's income in the house. Zhou Heng handed over the accounts of the inner and outer mansions to Cui Keyin, he didn't know if he didn't look at it, he was shocked when he saw it, it turned out that Zhou Heng was so rich.

"I want to do the marriage of Hongdou and Cheng Wen before the New Year." Cui Keyin said.

Zhou Heng's slender fingers washed the tea cup. said: "Cheng Wen told me." He had hoped to participate in the imperial examination in a few years. Now marrying our red beans, I have to help me to the end. Listen to him and come to us. Originally, it was to mix a mouthful of food, but when there was a coil, he resigned from his staff and participated in the imperial examination. ”

Cheng Wen is in his early twenties, and he is also proud, young and talented. I have always felt that it is not a long-term solution to be a staff member in the Jin Palace, and I should also be admitted to the Jinshi, and becoming an official is the right way.

Cui Keyin said with a smile: "Dare to love him for always being mediocre, is he not trying his best?" ”

To put it this way, this man is very scheming.

Zhou Heng said: "According to his own words, that's what he meant." However, I think he's more of a braggadocio. ”

In order to make himself worthy of the maid that Princess Jin relied on, he increased his bargaining chips.

Cui Keyin smiled: "He looks good, and Hongdou himself is quite satisfied." ”

If the person is willing, then there is nothing to say. The two laughed once, and Lele also woke up.

The snow didn't stop until the evening, and the two of them ate hot pot for dinner, and the room was spring. Zhou Heng ordered hot water to be prepared, and helped Cui Keyin to go to the bath room to rub Cui Keyin's back.

White smoke rose from the water of the bath, enveloping Cui Keyin. Zhou Heng took off his clothes and strolled down.

The lanterns shone on the snow, dyeing the snow pink, and several palace people waited under the porch, waiting for the call. The sound of laughter coming from the inner room made their faces warm and their hearts beat from time to time.

Huanxi held a letter in his hand, walked over quickly, and asked one of the palace people: "Where is the prince?" ”

The palace man pointed to the door of the bathhouse.

Zhou Heng's cheerful laughter came at this time, and Huanxi couldn't care about anything else, and raised his voice: "Lord Wang, urgent report, eight hundred miles urgent." ”

The laughter stopped, but after a few breaths, Zhou Heng's voice came out: "Come in." ”

The bath room is divided into two compartments, the outer partition is placed with tables and chairs to welcome pillows, melons and fruit snacks, which were originally used to prepare the host to rest when bathing, and the inner compartment is the bath, and the inside and outside are separated by a screen.

Huanxi lowered his head and came to the outer room, presented the fold with both hands, and said: "Datong is here, eight hundred miles is urgent." The emperor ordered it to be sent immediately. ”

In other words, this matter has been known to Emperor An.

Zhou Heng took the fold, waved his hand, and quickly retreated happily.

Cui Keyin came out of the bath, walked over in a middle coat and pants, and said, "What happened?" ”

Zhou Hengyi finished reading the twists and turns of the ten lines, and said: "The soldiers of Datong mutinied, and on the same night, the Tatars attacked the city, and our side suffered heavy casualties. ”

So serious? Cui Keyin hurriedly ordered to bring the robe.

Zhou Heng hurriedly changed his clothes, his wet hair didn't have time to be wriveted, so he put on his cloak and walked out quickly.

It's freezing outside. Cui Keyin hurriedly ordered the burning foot stove and hand stove to be sent, and ordered Huanxi to dry Zhou Heng's hair in the carriage.

Zhou Heng hugged Cui Keyin, patted her on the back, and said, "You go to sleep first, don't wait for me." ”

The border is urgent, the stakes are very high, and I don't know how long the imperial meeting will last.

Cui Keyin repeatedly told him to be careful, and as soon as he was sent to the corridor with his ink hair scattered, he was carried into the house by Zhou Heng: "Be careful of freezing." ”

Because she came out of the bath in a hurry, she was thinly dressed, and she didn't wear a cloak, and her hair was still wet.

Cui Keyin didn't send it again, and went back to the house obediently. Dry your hair and ask people to inquire about the news.

About the second watch, the person sent came back and said: "The prince went to the palace, but he never came out, but he saw several pavilion elders also enter the palace." ”

Originally, after the palace door was locked, it could only be opened when the next day came, but Emperor An gave Zhou Heng the key to the corner door for Zhou Heng to make it convenient. Although the gate of the noon gate cannot be opened, there is a corner gate where you can enter and exit, and you can also discuss matters.

When it was almost the fourth watch, Zhou Heng sent someone to come and said, "Don't worry about the princess." ”

Cui Keyin didn't have anything to worry about, she kept sitting and refused to rest, called someone to come, and asked, "What else does the prince say?" ”

The person who came was the guard who followed Zhou Heng every day, and said respectfully: "The word came out from the palace, let the little one come to report to the princess, the prince only said that the princess should not worry, and did not say anything else." ”

The guards were not allowed to enter the palace, presumably through the forbidden army. Cui Keyin rewarded him heavily and sent him back.

Lu Ying persuaded: "It's the fourth watch, the princess should rest quickly." ”

Seeing that the sky is about to dawn, there is still a big mess tomorrow.

Cui Keyin said: "It's okay, you guys should also rest." ”

She lay in bed and couldn't sleep until she got up at dawn, and there was no news from the palace. At this time, the civil and military officials should go to the early court. I don't know how Emperor Zhi decided to decide? (To be continued.) )
