"In a blink of an eye, more than 20 years." The bright sunlight shines through the window, shining on the side face of Concubine De, outlining smooth lines, the corners of the slightly upturned mouth soften the entire face, the fluff on the cheeks is smeared into a soft dim yellow by the sun, and the pupils reflect the colorful sunlight, Ye Jinyu seems to have seen Concubine De twenty years ago, a graceful, beautiful and smiling girl, waiting for the return of her sweetheart. With a smile, I poured out the fragrance and messed up the time.

Coming back to his senses, Ye Jinyu had to sigh, worthy of being the first beauty of the year, but time flies, the fairy who originally came into the world vividly and strayed into the world has become a frozen beauty, and she is no longer young and delicate.

"Okay, Jinyu entered the palace for the first time, and the palace led you out for a walk, and you got lost in the future."

"Thank you, Princess."

Ye Jinyu led Li Jinyu to follow behind Concubine De, Ye Jinyu was not very curious about this palace, when she was in Yin Guo, she could enter and leave the Yin Palace freely, and even if it wasn't for Li Sui, she would already be the mistress of Yin Guo's palace.

Concubine De retired from the honor guard, and only brought Aunt Mei with her, Yuege was hot, and Ye Jinyu didn't bring anyone, a group of four, wandering around the palace inconspicuously.

Five steps and a pavilion, ten steps and a floor, in a blink of an eye, the scenery has changed, the rockery and flowing water, the lake and the stone bridge, the palace are scattered, covered with snow, adding a fairy spirit, missing a trace of human flavor.

Occasionally, I met Gong E passing by, and no one came to disturb her, Concubine De simply pulled a bun, the white hosta was inconspicuous, she was wearing a white dress, and her cold face was prohibitive. Ye Jinyu didn't wear any gorgeous clothes, silver-white robes, with some battle-hardened fierceness, and the pink-carved Li Jinyu was just a little black robe, and the delicate little face was tense except in front of Ye Jinyu, but it was like Li Sui carved out of a mold in the eyes of outsiders.

"Over there is the queen's bedroom, and over there is Liu Hua's bedroom, don't go to these two places, try to avoid them." Concubine De pointed to the two largest palaces in the distance and introduced them to Ye Jinyu.

"There are countless large and small gardens in the palace, and the largest one is the imperial garden that separates the front hall and the back harem, and the scenery can still be seen."

Ye Jinyu looked at the beautiful, carved and painted imperial garden, compared to the Yin Imperial Garden Jiangnan garden-like delicacy and the year-round flower season, the Mao country is obviously more atmospheric, the building is magnificent, there are only various colors of plum blossoms in winter, but it is well taken care of, not monotonous.

"Over there, it's the palace of the masters of each palace, I don't know whose it is, it's a mess." The palaces are arranged in an orderly manner, and the whole palace is like a large garden, and the palaces are dotted on it in turn. Concubine De, who doesn't go out all day, doesn't care about this even more.

Passing through the large palace, there is an open lake, which has been frozen, and under the reflection of the sun, it casts a multicolored halo, and there is a small island in the middle of the lake, and the light around it gathers on the palace of the small island, like a fairy palace. This can't help but remind Ye Jinyu of the legend of Qingling Lake, I don't know if the same beautiful lake has the same story.

"This is the Snow Princess's Snow Palace." There was an imperceptible tremor in Concubine De's voice, her cold face also showed traces of brokenness, her calm eyes revealed a trace of pain, and her beautiful willow eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

Ye Jinyu didn't notice it, looking at the palace in front of her, she was even more curious about what kind of person this Snow Concubine was?

"Mother, has this palace been empty?"

"Well, since Concubine Xue left, this place has been sealed, except for the emperor, no one is allowed to approach half a step, everything inside is done by the emperor himself, including cleaning, pruning branches, and even repairing broken walls."

"Huh? Has it always been like this? More than twenty years? ”

"Well, it's been almost twenty years since Concubine Xue left."

Obviously, this time Ye Jinyu discovered Concubine De's abnormality, and it seems that Concubine Xue and Concubine De have some origins.

"Let's go, it's almost time for the feast, and we have to prepare when we go back."

"Yes, Princess."

"Mother, I can't walk." Li Jinyu dragged Ye Jinyu's hand, still a little unbearable, after all, he was just a child, although he walked very slowly, but he also walked for so long, and he was punished by Liu Guifei for half an hour before, Ye Jinyu is a person who practices martial arts, and he was a little tired before, but after resting for a while, it is no problem, walking these roads is not as good as one-tenth of the previous march.

"Come, mother's hug." Ye Jinyu stretched out his hand to pick up Li Jinyu.

"Forget it, I'll go to the gazebo over there to rest for a while before leaving, don't be in a hurry."

"Mother, won't you delay the banquet?"

"It's okay to delay a while."

"Yes."

The four of them rested for a while, and returned to Concubine De's Deshou Palace, Concubine De changed into a dark purple palace dress, lightly applied powder, and her black hair was pulled out of a cloud bun, majestic and unstained.

Ye Jinyu also cleaned up a little, changed out of the silver-white robe, put on a crimson palace dress, and the hair that was originally held at will was carefully taken care of into the hairstyle of a married lady, with vermilion flowers on her lips and curved eyebrows.

The sun sank into the horizon, the banquet was about to begin, and Concubine De was still in a hurry drinking tea in the dormitory.

Ye Jinyu hugged Li Jinyu, chatting with Concubine De without a match, since Concubine De was not in a hurry, she had no reason to be anxious.

Finally, on the treetops of the moon, Concubine De finally left for the banquet.

"Concubine De has arrived! The princess of the deep side has arrived! After the chief eunuch's briefing, Ye Jinyu followed behind Concubine De and entered the imperial garden.

Looking up, except for the emperor and queen and the princes, the rest of the people had already arrived, including Liu Guifei, who was sitting in a high position with a bad face.

After Ye Jinyu sat down, he saw Concubine De sitting down with an expressionless face, ignoring Concubine Liu, whose face was already dark, and then chatting with the concubine next to her who didn't know the palace.

"Concubine De is delicate and expensive, so I have been waiting here for so long." Concubine Liu finally couldn't help it, although she knew that she couldn't offend Concubine De, but she could still talk about Concubine De by relying on the power of her mother's family behind her and her own status in the palace, but that's all, no one was sure if Concubine De would suddenly use the holy decree.

"Concubine Liu is really joking, you are waiting for the emperor and the queen, what does it have to do with the palace?"

"Didn't Concubine De know that the banquet had begun? Coming so late is really a loss of royal dignity. ”

"Concubine Liu is joking again, if the emperor doesn't come, who said that the banquet has begun? Since it hasn't started, even if it's not too late, how can there be a loss of unity? But Liu Guifei made a big fuss. "Look at good books

"Hmph, let's not mention it for the time being, but after I came, I saw the palace, why didn't I pay a salute?"

"Heh, why did Concubine Liu become the discipline mother in the palace, and whose etiquette has to be managed?"

"You! No matter how you say it, you have to salute when you see this palace, and you can't change this even if you are clever and talking. ”

"That's not necessarily, you say, Concubine Liu." Concubine De took a sip of tea, and the word concubine was particularly accentuated, reminding her that she was not in this position, but because of her words, Concubine Liu could only pick up the teacup and take a sip of tea fiercely to reduce her anger.

The two of them are still a little measured, their voices are very small, others can't hear them at all, except for Liu Guifei's temporary discoloration on their faces, there is nothing different, which makes Ye Jinyu feel ashamed.

As he was talking, the emperor came with the queen, followed by a group of princes.

Li Sui sat next to Ye Jinyu, and there was one more Li Jinyu between the two, so that Li Sui was twisted separately, and Ye Jinyu only remembered to feed Li Jinyu, the two of them looked like a mother and a son, but there was nothing wrong with Li Sui.

"Jin Yu, eat this, I picked out all the thorns." With the lesson of the last banquet, Li Sui took a piece of fish meat with interest, picked the fish bones and put them on Ye Jinyu's plate, and looked at Ye Jinyu with some flattery, and his attitude was very different from the last time.

"Well, Jinyu, do you want to eat?" "Jinyu wants to eat, these mothers." In the blink of an eye, the fish meat entered Li Jinyu's stomach, and the corners of Li Sui's mouth twitched, and he couldn't wait to throw Li Jinyu's little cub out now, but obviously, this was impossible.

"The fish is delicious, kiss your mother."

"Jinyu is really a good baby, huh."

Li Sui looked at Ye Jinyu and lowered his head, Li Jinyu kissed Ye Jinyu's face and crushed the chopsticks in his hand.

"Lady, that's what I got for you." Li Sui decided to score some sympathy points.

"I know, by the way, Jinyu wants to eat, you can pick more." Ye Jinyu sandwiched another piece of tofu and put it on Li Jinyu's plate, and Li Jinyu, who was still looking at Li Sui triumphantly just now, collapsed his little face.

"Lady, children will gain weight if they eat too much meat, it will be bad, eat more vegetables and the like, eh, I think this is good." As he spoke, Li Sui took a large number of chopsticks and put the green vegetables into Li Jinyu's bowl, and successfully saw Li Jinyu's face change.

"Yes, Jinyu, children can't be picky eaters, you know?"

"I know my mother." Li Jinyu hung her little head, and agreed angrily, happy to Li Sui.

"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, a day for the whole country to celebrate, but is anyone willing to come on stage to help the fun?" The emperor proposed, and the following responded. "The best one can get this South Sea pearl." Father-in-law Fu uncovered the red cloth on the plate held by the little eunuch behind him, and it was a pearl the size of an adult's fist, which was priceless.

"In that case, the little woman is ugly." The daughter of the Shang Shujia took the lead in standing up, and she is also a beauty embryo, full of aura, and she is also a beautiful woman in Kyoto.

"Husband, you didn't tell me about this."

"Lady, you didn't ask me, I thought you knew."

"I..."

Ye Jinyu is a little blind, she was also a frequent guest at the royal banquet of Yin Guo in the past, but because she is a female general, no one will let her perform on stage, she is also happy, I didn't expect this Mao Kingdom to also have it, but his identity is still the princess of the deep side, and there is a high chance that he will be called.

"What now?"

"Does the lady have any talent?"

"Does marching and fighting count?"

"It doesn't count."

"Dancing knives and guns?"

"Hey, forget it, if you really want to go on stage in a while, I'll play the kite, you dance the sword, and fool the past."

"Husband, is this disgusting concubine?"

"There is no thing, there is no thing, the lady is so good, how can the husband dislike it."

Now Li Sui and Ye Jinyu are becoming more and more accustomed to this kind of life like a civilian couple, relaxed and comfortable, but in the eyes of others, they have no dignity and humility, which is a big disapproval.

"Mother, mother, what about Jinyu? Jinyu also wants to be with her mother. ”

"It's none of your business, go aside." Li Sui picked a piece of braised pork and put it on Ye Jinyu's plate.

"Mother~"

"Okay, what will Jinyu do?"

"Jinyu can blow the flute, Jinyu can blow well."

"Okay then, let's go out and practice first, the province will make a fool of itself."

"Hurry up, there's already a show."

The three of them walked to the imperial garden, Li Sui asked Dian Yi to go to Deokshou Palace to get a zither and a flute, without the permission of the emperor in the palace, it was not allowed to bring swords and other weapons, Ye Jinyu could only pick up a branch.
