After the first snowfall, the suburbs are very quiet, a snow-white rabbit in the woods pricked up its ears and listened left and right, the red eyes were vigilant around, a sound of branches breaking sounded, and the little rabbit ran out on all fours, hiding in the grass and looking into the distance.

"Grandma, is this firewood enough? It's winter, and it's cold, so I'll cut some more! ”

"Hey, Xiao Yan, these are enough, I'm bothering you today."

Yan Hong tied the last bundle of firewood with both hands, put it on his back, spit out a sigh of breath, and said with a smile: "What's the trouble, Grandma has helped me so much, I do these things as they should" Bent down, picked up the remaining two bundles of firewood with his hands, weighed them, and walked towards the path.

"Grandma, can I come to you every day to help when I'm not busy in the future?"

Grandma is lying on her back, the smile on her face is very beautiful, it can be seen that she was also a beauty when she was young, "Grandma can come here at any time, Grandma will make you white flour buns to eat!"

Yan Hong smiled and nodded, he and his mother also lived in such an environment when they were young, sowing seeds and planting land in spring and summer every year, harvesting wheat in autumn, and playing snowball fights in winter to grow carefree... This kind of living environment can't be compared with her... But he knew that she was not suitable for the kind of life where she was imprisoned in a golden cage and could not be free, and she needed to be free.

The little yellow dog who returned to the courtyard to watch the door wagged his tail and happily greeted him, rolling at his feet, and being coquettish, Yan Hong put the firewood on his back and in his hand in the courtyard, and leaned down to touch it and asked, "Grandma, is the rhubarb about to give birth?"

Grandma was boiling hot water in the pot before she remembered that she didn't bring rice to Rhubarb after hearing it, "Yes, it's been three months now, and I'll give birth next month, but Xiao Yan wants to take one back and raise it?" Although we are not a famous dog, but it understands human nature, rhubarb has been with me for three years, a few years ago I went to the mountains to collect medicine, and I met a wild wolf, rhubarb was hard to compete with the wild wolf, but in the end I won."

The hot water in the pot was boiled, and Grandma hurriedly made a basin and asked Yan Hong to come over and wipe her body. Yan Hong thanked him, took the sweat towel and soaked it in hot water and began to wipe it, and the grandmother sat on a small stool and filled the stove pit with dry firewood while humming a small tune

' Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. My Fair Lady, Gentleman. ’

'My Fair Lady, I covet it. Leisurely, tossing and turning. ’

Grandma hummed a minor tune and didn't know that this scene was so suitable for Yan Hong's body, thinking about it for a while, restless and wanting to pursue it but not being able to ask for it, this feeling was inexplicably sad in her heart.

After the body warmed up, Yan Hong also sat in front of the stove and watched the rhubarb lying on his back with his belly roasting the fire, grandma was already cooking noodles, after the noodles were put in the pot, a piece of bacon was brought in from the outside, cut into slices, put it aside, and adjusted the sauce, after the noodles were cooked, they were taken out and placed in the bowl, because they were afraid that Yan Hong would not be full, they deliberately found a big bowl, sprinkled red pepper chives and chive oil on the noodles, and poured it directly after they were hot, and the aroma was overflowing, and even the rhubarb below got up and wagged their tails and waited to eat.

Grandma held the bowl and put it on the small table, "Xiao Yanna, come and taste the noodles made by Grandma"

Yan Hong nodded, took the chopsticks, picked up a wisp directly, and sucked it in, it was very fragrant, and the taste was a bit like the oily noodles made by his mother at that time. Grandma sat opposite and mended her clothes, occasionally smiling and looking up at Yan Hong, who was eating noodles. I accidentally remembered that he had asked how to make malt pastry before, so he asked, "Xiao Yanna, did the girl eat the malt you made last time?" Do you still like it? At that time, the wheat was not very good, and the taste may not be as good as when it first came down..."

Yan Hong didn't know how to answer for a moment, and after she went back that day, she got angry and said very ruthless words. He left the oiled paper bag on the table... I don't know if she will pay attention to it, or just order someone to throw it out... All of this was expected by him

"Xiao Yan? Xiao Yan? When is that girl free, can you bring it to Grandma to see, Grandma is old and has no children, you are like my child, and now I have a woman in my heart, Grandma also wants to see what kind of woman can make such an excellent man worry about it every day."

Yan Hong put down the chopsticks in his hand and thought for a moment before saying, "Grandma, don't worry, I'll bring her here when the weather is warm in a few days, she is not in good health, and now it's winter when she comes here from the imperial city, I'm afraid of the wind and cold... She's a very... A very good woman, since I like her, I will be kind to her. Grandma rest assured"

Grandma smiled and nodded, "Then Grandma is waiting for you to bring her, eat noodles quickly, it's not delicious when it's cold"

Yan Hong picked up the chopsticks and looked at the steaming noodles in the bowl, and his heart was in a mess, and the noodles lost their taste in his mouth...

———

In the Mingluan Palace, Mo Mei sat opposite Chu Xiang and flexibly knitted between his fingers, and soon a knot was ready, Chu Xiang took the red thread in his hand and braided it a little bit, and his heart was inevitably depressed, how can this be the same as the bracelet? It took a long time to find out that the middle of the knot was worn wrong, and the whole line was beaten in vain, but fortunately, she made it up a little bit because of her slow hands.

Mo Mei looked at Chu Xiang's gloomy little face and hurriedly comforted, "Niangniang, don't be discouraged, this sword spike is really difficult to beat, the slave maid also learned it for a long time at that time, and her fingers were grinding out of calluses, and Niangniang has only been learning for a long time, and she has already made it up so well, and if you try a few times, you will definitely succeed!"

Chu Xiang rubbed his fingertips and pulled the line again, Momei stood aside and guided, the sunlight was tilting, and Ling'er stood on the platform and occasionally screamed twice. The dumplings hung on the drapery, their eyes flickered, and they gradually fell asleep... The little snowman by the window slowly melted into a pool of pure water, and between the changes of light and shadow, there seemed to be a bright yellow figure coming from a distance.

'Squeak' The door of the hall was pushed open, Liang Qi stood at the door and chopped his feet, Rong Cheng brought a pair of clogs for him to change, hung the cold dragon robe on the hanger on the side, and roasted the dragon for a while before entering the inner hall, Chu Xiang was playing a knot, and when he heard the sound of the door, he immediately stuffed the entire Xiao Lou under the table, put down the tablecloth, and Liang Qi walked in.

Liang Qi saw her panic in his eyes, swept the surroundings, and there was nothing unusual, and pulled her to sit on the round stool and poured a cup of bee sugar water, "I thought that there was a cat in the Mingluan Palace, and I was itching, so I came back early" Chu Xiang was afraid that his foot would kick Xiao Lou under the table, so he had to think of letting him leave here, and after Liang Qi took a few sips, she stepped forward and said softly, "The emperor is busy with government affairs and is tired? The concubines know some ways to relieve their fatigue, why don't you go to the emperor and try it on the couch? ”

Liang Qi's heart was beating wildly, why did he become so attentive after he left Xiang'er for half a day? Some unbelievers secretly pinched the flesh on their thighs with their hands, and it hurt! That shouldn't be a dream! Liang Qi, who fell into the gentle township, followed Chu Xiang step by step towards the bed.

Liang Qi was lying on her lap with her eyes closed and feeling the fingers on her forehead, Chu Xiang said it casually, where did she know how to relieve fatigue, these are all according to Ayu's usual methods, but fortunately, Liang Qi is so foolish that you can press it casually. Liang Qi closed his eyes, this feeling was too comfortable, his whole body relaxed, and the sleepiness accumulated for a few days swept over in an instant, and he didn't want her to be tired, so he reached out and held his wrist, who knew that Chu Xiang's voice startled him! Hurriedly got up, what sleepiness and tiredness all forgot!

"What's wrong? But did I scratch and hurt? ”

The big hand pushed her sleeves up and saw two scratches on her fair skin, Liang Qi instantly became angry and shouted at Rong Cheng and Mo Mei to come in, Rong Cheng After they came in, they saw the angry emperor kneeling down one after another, and somehow provoked the emperor.

"I ask you, where did the scars on Concubine Xiang's wrists come from?"

Mo Mei trembled and tried to overcome the fear in her heart and replied, "The slave doesn't know either, Niangniang has never gone out in the Mingluan Hall today..." Liang Qi asked Xiang Rongcheng again, and Rongcheng also answered exactly the same, and Chu Xiang had never gone out.

At this time, Liang Qi was even more confused, pacing back and forth in the hall, and Mo Mei whispered in a soft voice: "Your Majesty.. Niangniang's wrist injury must be dealt with in time to not delay" Liang Qi then remembered that he asked the imperial doctor to come over again and again, Chu Xiang grabbed him and said helplessly, "Xu is the concubine unintentionally scraped somewhere to get hurt, this injury will not bother the doctor."

In the end, Mo Mei took the ointment, Liang Qi smeared the whole face little by little, and the tight-eyed person could see at a glance that he was sulking, and after dealing with it, he was wrapped in two layers of gauze, and the original small injury was made by him as if he had broken his arm, and the hall was very quiet, only the fire charcoal of the earth dragon occasionally crackled, and the curtains beside the bed clattered, followed by the sound of objects falling to the ground.

"Woo woo woo~"

The fragrance of the dumplings that were sleeping unexpectedly didn't catch the curtains, fell off, and was licking the little tail aggrievedly, Liang Qi saw its little paws, and instantly understood what was going on, and the anger that came out of nowhere surged into his heart, strode towards the dumplings, picked it up, looked at each other, and then threw it to Rong Cheng. Fortunately, Rong Cheng reacted quickly, otherwise this red cloud marten would have fallen to death directly!

"Sent to the imperial dining room, stewed!"

Rong Cheng stood in place in his arms, and the group didn't dare to look at Liang Qi, so he could only ask Chu Xiang for help with watery eyes, Chu Xiang sighed, stepped forward, took the ball from Rong Cheng's arms, comfortingly touched its hair, and said for a long time: "The emperor doesn't want to blame the group, it was the concubine who washed it and didn't know how to get injured by mistake, besides, doesn't the emperor also like the group?"

Liang Qi couldn't help but look at the dumplings and coughed, "It hurt my beloved concubine, how can I make it chic?" Since Xiang'er is reluctant to turn it into a meal, then punish it in a cage and confinement for a month, and trim its nails every day! If I find out, I will be sent directly to the imperial dining room for the second time! ”

Everyone touched the sweat and asked the emperor to change Chrysostom to be afraid that there was only Xiang Guifei. This mink is really lucky.

In the afternoon, the entire Chang Forbidden Palace was busy preparing tomorrow's bags and items, Ayu had experience and brought a lot of practical items, and Mo Mei started on the side, and quickly sorted it out. Chu Xiang was inevitably a little flustered in his heart, the matter of bringing female dependents on the hunting festival was unprecedented, I don't know what those ministers will say tomorrow... But the reassuring thing is that Daddy actually participated in the hunt this time! With Daddy, there is a lot less anxiety in my heart.

At night, Liang Qi was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get up in the morning, so he turned off the lights early, and the dumplings shrank in the cage, yawned and fell asleep. Before the end of the day, Chu Xiang was woken up by him, got up blindfolded, washed his face and changed his dress, the whole process was psychedelic, only knowing that in the end, Liang Qi chuckled and hugged her and left the Mingluan Palace.

The carriages at the gate of the imperial city lined up a mighty street, and the ministers bowed their hands one after another, and the expressions on their faces froze when they saw the emperor appear, how could there be female dependents? Chu Xiang also seemed to anticipate it and didn't care, Liang Qi didn't look at their expressions, cleared his throat and said, "According to the ancestral system, the annual winter hunt will start after the first snow, Aiqing, you can be prepared to impress me, it depends on your performance in the hunting festival!"

The ministers peeked at each other with their eyes, and some people exclaimed, "This is Xiang Guifei!" Immediately, seeing the warning of the emperor with dangerous eyes, the man immediately lowered his head and did not dare to say anything more.

Rong Cheng looked at the sky and shouted, "The time has come—" Everyone got into the carriage with the doubts on their faces, and only one of them had a hint of excitement on their expressions.
