A few lights and candles flickered, and the atmosphere in the room was peaceful and quiet. Many exquisite dishes were delivered to the dining room, and the round table was filled. Qiao Fengzhi drank it well, and took out his own fine wine.

Yao Duran looked at the table full of sumptuous dishes, only to find that there were too many vegetarian dishes, and her heart was slightly warm, he was treating her with his heart, and he was meticulous and thoughtful everywhere.

The two sat around the round table, and Qiao Fengzhi poured wine in turn.

"Didn't you stop me from drinking?" Yao Duran asked.

Qiao Fengzhi's handsome face was like jade, and his starry eyes overflowed with tenderness and indulgence: "There is no one else today, I will allow you to drink." Besides, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and if you want to keep the year until late at night, if you don't drink a few cups, you will be sleepy. ”

"That's right." Yao Duran was in a good mood, picked up the wine glass and sniffed it, and said with a leisurely smile: "What a fragrant wine." ”

"If you like it, if you like. Eat some before drinking, so as not to get into an empty stomach and get a hangover. Qiao Fengzhi put a lot of colorful vegetables on her plate.

Yao Duran picked up the chopsticks and ate in small bites. The two of them raised their glasses and drank from time to time, so they were not leisurely and comfortable.

"Bongzhi, you seem to like fish, but be careful with fish bones." Yao Duran said, picking up a piece of snow-white and crystalline fish meat and putting it on his plate, lowering his eyes to remove the fish bones for him.

Just as she was concentrating on dealing with the piece of fish, she only heard a "pop" sound, and a delicate brocade box was already placed in front of her.

Yao Duran was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked up at him.

Qiao Fengyi served her vegetables and said softly: "The gift given to you can also be regarded as a love thing." Open it up and see if you like it. ”

Yao Duran's heart was hot, and he cleaned his slender hand on the hot handkerchief, and then picked up the small brocade box, and after opening it, he only felt that a snow shadow flashed in front of him, which was eye-catching. In the brocade box, there was a set of jade ornaments, a pair of white and flawless jade bracelets, and a pair of white jade hibiscus hairpins. The style is delicate and beautiful, the jade color is crystal clear, and there is no impurity. The jade body lingers with a faint luster, and the quality is extraordinary. Yao Duran carefully picked up a jade bracelet and looked at it, who knew that the tentacles were warm and greasy, which showed that this thing was excellent.

"Although I don't know the goods, I also know that this set of ornaments is extremely valuable, where did you get it?" Yao Duran pinched the jade bracelet and asked him.

Qiao Fengzhi took a bite of the glutinous rice lotus root and said, "Fool, you don't know me too well." Don't talk about these valuable things, it is more than enough for me to buy two mansions in the prosperous place in Beijing. ”

Yao Duran was startled, but then figured it out. Since ancient times, there have been great eunuchs who leaned towards the government and the opposition, and there were even more eunuchs with strong financial resources. Although Qiao Fengzhi is not a eunuch, the meaning is no different. He is a celebrity in front of the queen, and he has been comfortable in the deep palace for many years, and the wealth in his hands will naturally not be weak.

Qiao Fengzhi looked at her speechless, and asked with a smile, "Do you like it?" ”

"It's beautiful, I like it." Yao Duran responded with a smile. Even though she doesn't care about things outside her body, this set of ornaments is his heart, and even more so his affection.

Seeing that she liked it, Qiao Fengzhi smiled even more on Jun's face, so he simply sat down opposite her to her side, pinched her slender hand, took off her silk silk lining on her hand, and put the pair of jade bracelets on her hand.

There is such a beautiful and gorgeous jade bracelet on the snow-white Hao's wrist, which makes her more delicate and noble in her gestures.

Qiao Fengzhi admired it, and praised: "My dyed child must be a stunning beauty when she is dressed up." ”

When Yao Duran lowered her eyes and looked at the jade bracelet in her hand, the pair of white jade hibiscus hairpins were also inserted into her bun by him.

Yao Duran felt that it was inappropriate, and blurted out: "Fengzhi, no, I'm just a palace lady, how can I be so dressed?" It's not too much of a show. ”

Qiao Fengzhi looked at her infinite little face, hugged her into his arms, and said seriously: "Dye'er, just wear it for me today, and you will put it away tomorrow." Since you have followed me, I will not fail you. Today's days are only temporary, believe me, we will have a better way to go, a better life, and, soon. ”

A better way to live? What is that way and life? And it's already fast? Why is he so determined? It seems that there is something hidden in his heart, and the whole person is like a cloud, so that she can't see clearly.

After the doubt, Yao Duran felt a ripple in her heart, he was an accident that she couldn't escape on the road of revenge, and she had accepted this accident, but although she accepted it, she never thought about the future. Now that he has a plan, he really gave her some reminders and expectations.

Yes, there is always a time when the queen's blood feud will come to an end, so what about the rest of her life? It's still so far away, how is she going to live?

Sensing her silence, Qiao Fengzhi lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, and said, "Ran'er, you don't believe me?" ”

She came back to her senses and quickly shook her head: "Fengzhi, I believe in you, and I am willing to follow you, no matter what kind of future you plan, I will accept it." From now on, I will follow you wherever you are. ”

"Really?" This was the first time she responded positively to his affection, and Qiao Fengzhi couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

"Really." After Yao Duran finished speaking, he raised his face and looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes full of affection, which was frank and sincere, touching and heartstrings.

The two were close at hand, snorting at each other. The atmosphere seems to be different......

Qiao Fengzhi looked at her for a moment, and finally lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.

Yao Duran snorted, and immediately hooked his neck and responded gently.

His kiss was gentle and long, sometimes domineering, sometimes wanting to retreat and provoke her to chase after him......

She leaned into the crook of his arm, and was rightfully carried to the bed by him. In the middle of the night, the two were already entangled......

Outside the window, the moonlight poured down, dappled with light and shadow. The flame in the charcoal basin on the ground is vigorous, the long pepper is ticking, the warmth is baked, and in the gooseneck bottle on the table, a few plum blossom bones have opened several, gradually stretching and blooming under the candlelight, delicate and beautiful, fresh and beautiful.

……

After the wind and rain stopped, Qiao Fengxin put his arms around her and rested contentedly. The quilt is extremely warm, and the warmth between the two is infinite.

Yao Duran slowed down for a while, and then said weakly: "Fengzhi, tell me about your life experience." ”

Qiao Fengzhi couldn't help but smile deeply when she heard her ask, she finally became interested in him and had a desire to explore. Thinking about it, he also talked slowly: "Dye'er, sad to say, I don't know who my biological parents are, since I can remember, I have been living in the clouds of the mountain, there is only one master by my side, he picked me up and adopted me. It wasn't until five years ago, when I was nineteen years old, that Master allowed me to go down the mountain and ordered me to go to the palace on an errand and taught me many things, such as that if I didn't want to be purified, I had to create a chance encounter on the day when the Empress left the palace on the Shangyuan Festival, so as to win her attention and reuse. I couldn't disobey my teacher's orders, so I did it. At first, the queen wanted to take me as a male pet, but I politely refused, saying that I just wanted to be a subordinate to serve the left and right, and the queen had to agree, just like that, I was taken into the palace by the queen, without going through the selection and purification, and then stayed in Fengyi Palace, step by step to today. ”

"And what about your master? Where is it now? Why did he order you to enter the palace? Yao Duran was full of questions, but he didn't expect the fog on his body to get thicker and thicker.

"Ran'er, I'm sorry, I can't tell you that. If it is not done, it will not be exported. When the time comes, you'll know. Knowing some things early will not help you. ”

"Oh, okay." Yao Duran responded, only then did he suppress his doubts and curiosity, and his emotion came out again, there are hundreds of regrets in the world, and there are all kinds of sorrows, like Qiao Fengzhi, who has gone through the world, but he doesn't know who his parents' surnames are.

She sighed softly, put her arms around his neck and said, "Fengzhi, the past has become a cloud of smoke, don't mention it." I will accompany you on the road ahead. ”

"Hmm. You came from Dongjing, you left your hometown, you have no relatives and no reason, in the future, I will protect you for the rest of your life. Qiao Fengzhi was serious and determined, and his eyes were full of pity.

Yao Duran's heart was slightly sour, he was right without relatives and no reason, but he came from Dongjing and left his hometown, so it was not like that.

Do you want to confess everything to him?

In the blink of an effort, she denied it. As he said, the time has not yet come.

"It's your turn, tell me about your background. I always felt that you had a very mysterious story in you. Qiao Fengzhi actually took the initiative to ask.

Yao Duran tricked himself to escape, closed his eyes and muttered, "I'm so sleepy, let me sleep." ”

Qiao Fengzhi was silent when he heard this. The woman in her arms always keeps her mouth shut about the dust and the future, so mysterious, like a mirror, although she is beautiful, she can't touch it or grasp it.

Where is this heart of beauty? When will he be able to hold her in the palm of his hand?

"Okay, you sleep for a while, I'll call you at midnight and take you out to set off fireworks." Qiao Fengzhi said, tightening the corners of the quilt for her.

"Hmm." Yao Duran's heart was slightly relaxed, her eyelids gradually sank, and she slowly fell asleep.

It wasn't until the deafening sound of firecrackers outside the window exploded continuously that Yao Duran woke up, and heard the voices of people in the courtyard through the window, and everyone was happily setting off firecrackers to remove the old and welcome the new.

The seventh year of Shaoyuan has finally come.

Qiao Fengzhi led her out of the room. The courtyard is lively and jubilant, with a lantern under the eaves of the east and west rows, and rows of dim halos are warm and amiable.

When the palace people saw Qiao Fengzhi coming out, they cheered one after another.

Every year on this day, Qiao Fengzhi will set off fireworks in this courtyard, and no one can get high-priced fireworks except him. So every time this happens, everyone looks forward to him.

"Fuquan, Shuanglu, go to my room and bring the box out." Qiao Feng's order, everyone became more and more happy.

After a while, Fuquan and Shuanglu took out a box, opened it, and took out the bundles of fireworks sticks inside.

Six thick ones were placed on the ground, and the remaining thin ones could be lit in the hands and played.

Fuquan led everyone to light the fireworks happily. After a burst of sparks, the first smoke bomb rushed into the sky and exploded, and Yao Duran was stunned.

Yes, she grew so big, she had never seen fireworks.

I saw that the sky above my head was full of colorful and colorful. Like a goddess scattering flowers, blasting through the darkness and shining the world.

In an instant, the brilliance fell and dispersed, and then, the second one rushed up again, and exploded with a "bang", and before the fireworks were extinguished, the third one rushed up again......
