At dusk, the Jin Palace's mansion was gilded with a layer of glow under the setting sun, and the servants who had been busy all day ushered in a time of rest.

After sunset, the temperature dropped a lot, and in the kitchen on the west side of the palace, the servants who prepared the dinner materials gathered around the stove to roast sweet potatoes and chat, talking about the trivial matters of the palace.

"Every time Miss An Liu comes to stay, the princess has to eat and live in person, that's called a spirit, I don't know how much better than usual, I don't know, I think it's the daughter who got married and goes back to her parents' house." The mother-in-law in a gray and white coat said in a suppressed voice while turning over the roasted sweet potatoes by the charcoal basin.

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful to let the masters hear it, and then you must let you know that it is powerful." The other woman looked around and whispered a warning.

"But I'm not the only one who says this, if the master really wants to be punished, who will be held accountable." The mother-in-law in the gray and white coat has a strong mouth.

"Eh, don't really say it, I've seen Miss An Liu from afar, that look, it looks really, tsk!" The young daughter-in-law holding the woman's bun smacked her tongue, and she sold it halfway through the conversation.

"Similar to the princess?" The mother-in-law in the gray coat and the other mother-in-law both asked curiously.

"Not really." The daughter-in-law shook her head again and again, looked around, beckoned, and waited for the other two to come over, before she whispered: "It's carved out of the same mold as our prince when he was young!" ”

Hearing this, everyone gasped and smacked their tongues: "This is really ......"

"What are you chewing here, why don't you go to work soon?!"

The sudden angry shouting interrupted the conversation of the three people, and the three who were gossiping got up and bowed down again and again to admit their mistakes. The daughter-in-law was more bold and defended: "The main thing, we are idle when we see that the kitchen has nothing to do." ”

It was the kitchen steward.

Snorted coldly, the grandmother said: "Fang Cai has nothing to do, but now there is it again, the princess Niangniang saw that Miss An Liu was on fire, and she couldn't eat spicy, and most of the previous dishes were withdrawn, so she wanted to change to something light and refreshing." ”

The three of them only felt that they were busy, and they didn't care about the sweet potatoes in the charcoal fire, so they went to choose vegetables and wash vegetables.

"If it's okay, you know the nonsense." The housekeeper snorted, sat down by the charcoal fire, and shad the roasted sweet potatoes out to eat.

In the dining room of the palace, most of the dishes have been served, Meng Yuyan and An Ruolan sat at the table, waiting for everyone to arrive and start the meal.

Zhao Miao went to the study to invite King Jin, but when he came back, he was alone, and said: "Father said that there is something important to be busy, let us eat first, and he will come in a while." The eldest brother also just asked someone to come back and pass the word, and he also said that there was something wrong and he would return later. ”

"That being the case, don't wait, the food should be cold in a while." Meng Yuyan said, his eyes slipping through the faint sense of loss.

"Let's wait." An Ruojin said with a smile, "The left and right dishes are not good yet, so my cousin and cousin Yi will come in a while." "This master's house opened the meal before she arrived, and she couldn't eat anywhere.

"Then ......" Meng Yuyan looked at An Ruolan and asked softly, "Is Lan'er hungry?" ”

An Ruolan shook his head and said, "I ate some snacks before, but I'm not hungry." ”

Hearing this, Meng Yuyan frowned disapprovingly, "How can you use dim sum before eating, I'm worried that I won't be able to eat for a while." ”

After thinking about it, he got up again and said, "You sit here first, I'll go to the study and take a look, if Brother Yi comes back in a while, you can use it first when you're hungry." ”

An Ruolan should be all three.

Meng Yuyan took Zhang's mother to the study to call King Jin.

However, when I arrived at the study, I didn't see King Jin, and Zhang's mother said: "Xu suddenly has something important, go out." ”

Meng Yuyan also thought so, and saw that the letters on the bookcase were scattered on the table, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were also messily arranged, so he subconsciously sorted it out and said: "If others know that the famous Confucian general King Jin is such a sloppy person, I don't know how they will feel." ”

Zhang's mother smiled, also helped clean up, and said: "The prince can't change his temperament, he looks steady, but sometimes he is very impatient." This point, the prince has picked up enough. ”

Meng Yuyan shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "It's not just Brother Yi, the other two are also ......"

The next words were silenced when I accidentally saw the familiar handwriting.

She recognized at a glance the author of the letter that was enclosed in the fold.

Seeing that she suddenly lost her voice, Zhang's mother raised her head, but seeing that her face was gloomy and her smile had long since disappeared, she couldn't help but wonder and called: "Princess Niangniang? ”

Meng Yuyan came back to his senses, hurriedly pulled out a smile, pretended to be casual and put away the fold with the letter, and said, "It's okay, I'll clean it up here, you go to the kitchen to urge, let them move faster, and don't wait for the prince and the prince to eat together." ”

Zhang's mother was stagnant, and she withdrew first.

The door of the study closed, Meng Yuyan took out the letter in the fold, swept it with a glance, and a cold smile appeared in his eyes.

The kitchen moved quickly, and when Meng Yuyan returned to the dining room, all the dishes were ready to be served, Zhao Yi still didn't come back, so Meng Yuyan took the three cousins to eat first.

Zhao Yihai only returned to the house, and after a brief dinner, he asked about the situation in the house.

Zhao Miao accompanied his brother to use some more, and replied: "My father went out before dinner, and I haven't returned yet, I see that my mother's face is not very good, maybe her health is not good, and my eldest brother should go and see it, as for the two cousins, it's no big deal, just now, the maid has already rested." ”

Zhao Yi bowed his head and said, "I'll go and say hello to my mother, and you can also rest." ”

"I'll go with my eldest brother." Zhao Miao stood up.

"It's fine."

The two brothers went to the main courtyard while talking.

Meng Yuyan hasn't stopped yet, the frost is heavy at night, she is reading in the warm pavilion in a single dress, and her face is really not good.

The two brothers entered the door and asked Guo'an to sit down, Zhao Yi said: "I heard that Brother Miao said that the mother concubine was unwell, and the son hurriedly came to visit, why didn't the mother concubine stop?" ”

"I can't sleep, I can't lie down with my eyes open." Meng Yuyan smiled, put the book in his hand, and picked the incense in the beast pattern incense burner with a silver hook.

Zhao Yi saw that her face was pale, frowned, and said to Zhang's mother, "Add more clothes to the concubine." ”

Without waiting for Zhang's mother to react, Meng Yuyan said: "No need, it's not cold to burn the kang." ”

In order to prevent Zhao Yi from dwelling on this matter, she deliberately diverted the topic and asked about his position.

"It's all good, my son is a newcomer, and there will inevitably be more things to learn, and I am busy with errands during this time, and I didn't ask my mother to say goodbye on time, and my son is not filial." Zhao Yi bowed his head.

"What are you talking about," Meng Yuyan smiled softly, "You are doing the right thing, and you are not messing around outside, where is it unfilial." ”

"Yes, our prince is not only young and promising, but also filial piety, but he doesn't plan for himself." Zhang's mother teased.

Zhao Yi smiled and didn't make a sound, and Mother Zhang said again: "The slave knows that the prince doesn't like to listen to this, but the slave and the maid still have to nag a few words, the cousin and young master of the Zhou Mansion are all married, and you should also plan to plan it." ”

"Mother Lao is worried, I have a claim in my heart." Zhao Yi smiled helplessly.

"If you like a girl from any family, talk to your mother, your mother believes it." Meng Yuyan said lightly, "Brother Miao too, it's time to think about your life's events." ”

Both brothers said yes.

sat until Meng Yuyan said that he was tired, and the two brothers Zhao Yi got up to say goodbye.

After the two left, Zhang's mother helped Meng Yuyan back to the room, and praised her: "The prince is getting more and more handsome, and I don't know how many little girls in the house are blushing." ”

Meng Yuyan also smiled: "I grew up in a blink of an eye, and now I can make my own decisions about everything." The tone was filled with relief and relaxation.

Mother Zhang's eyebrows jumped, but she didn't understand, and reminded: "The princess is not right, the prince is capable, but there are also things that he can't do, that is, his own family affairs, and he always wants the princess to make up your mind." ”

Meng Yuyan smiled silently.

It wasn't until late at night that King Jin came back with a cold body, and when he heard that Meng Yuyan had rested, he didn't alarm her, so he went to the clean room to wash off the cold on his body and returned to the room to rest.

In the thick and dim curtain, King Jin hugged his wife into his arms and fell asleep, but Meng Yuyan suddenly opened his eyes, and there was no sleepiness in his eyes.

Frost falls in the middle of the night.

When I got up in the morning, there was a thick layer of frost in the yard, and An Ruolan stomped out of the door, only to feel colder than in the depths of winter, and kept breathing into the palms of her hands.

An Ruojin persuaded her: "Wear more when it's cold, I'm worried that I'll be frozen." ”

"No, I won't get cold when I walk around." An Ruolan shook her head resolutely, she had to exercise a lot, so that her body would be better.

An Ruojin came out and grabbed her, and said angrily: "I said you, what kind of tossing and turning in the cold weather, it's just like this when you are in the Hou Mansion, this is in the Jin Palace, if you are sick, how can you be able to treat your uncle and aunt." ”

"It's okay, just get cold for a while, and the sun will come out." An Ruolan was relieved, and without waiting for An Ruojin to talk again, she slipped away like a loach.

"This girl is getting more and more solid!" With a low voice, An Ruojin took the fox fur fur handed by the maid and chased after it quickly.

Since she learned a lesson at the temple fair that day, An Ruolan began to exercise, even when she arrived at the Jin Palace, she did not stop, although it was indeed colder today, but she also wore a lot of clothes, so there was no need to worry.

After running less than one lap in the garden, his body warmed up, and An Ruolan insisted on running two laps before stopping to rest and strolling around the garden.

"How did you come up with the idea of exercising?" A low and melodious voice like a music bell sounded behind him, with a hint of a smile, An Ruolan subconsciously turned around, and saw that between the hoarfrost, Zhao Yi, who was dressed in a straight court dress, was like a god, solemn and luxurious, and the sable kanzi on his shoulders made him even more handsome and graceful.

Cousin Yi is really good-looking, An Ruolan sighed in her heart, no wonder there are always people who can't forget it.

Hiding the little caution in her heart, she said abruptly: "I just feel that my body is too weak, is it because I want to practice, should my cousin just come back from the court?" ”

Zhao Yi chuckled, untied the stump on his shoulders, draped it on her shoulders, and carefully tied the ribbon while saying: "It's good to exercise, but you should also pay attention to the cold and warmth, if you sweat and blow the wind, you will catch a cold." ”

An Ruolan looked down at his flawless fingers like white jade, and his face was a little hot.

"Alright." patting her head, Zhao Yi withdrew his hand, looked at it and said with a smile: "Lan'er looks magnificent, and she looks the best in such luxurious clothes." ”

An Ruolan scratched her head shyly.

Under the plum branches in the distance, An Ruojin turned around with her cloak. R1152
