At the end of the year, the palace is also very lively, and New Year's gifts are sent everywhere outside the palace.

Xiao Mingyue's parents and brothers also sent soldiers to send hometown specialties, Yu Wendi sent a cloak and warm gloves made of fine white mink fur, Dang Xiang and Wusun Guo also sent hairpin ring jewelry, Li Yuanxu also sent a beautiful hand warmer, Rouran sent the palace's secret beef jerky and rouge gouache, and the gifts sent from everywhere filled half the room.

Cai Wei and Amber put away the gifts, and said with a smile: "These things, not counting on the road, are enough to open a shop, and we have all the things here!"

Qingwen counted the things on the side, stored them in the warehouse one by one, and said to the two: "These are all good things, and they don't sell for much money!" If there are any of our things in the market outside, it's only for people to see and not sell!"

"What a good thing! It's just for people, if you three like something, just pick it out!" Xiao Mingyue walked over and said to a few people.

Several people are like sisters with Xiao Mingyue on weekdays, and they know that Xiao Mingyue never treats them as slaves, although the palace maids are the same monthly routine, food and clothing, they are much more dignified than those in other palaces. and they all sincerely regard Xiao Mingyue as the closest and dearest person.

Xiao Mingyue said this, they are not easy to refuse, otherwise they will be separated from each other, secondly, Xiao Mingyue even treats the little palace maid in the room very generously, the day before yesterday, I saw the little palace maid's new one, was bullied, and wore shabby winter clothes, so I took fifty taels of silver to make winter clothes for the newly opened ones in the palace, and those who had never made winter clothes made winter clothes.

"Then I'm welcome, I saw a jade hairpin carved with azaleas from the Wusun Kingdom! Give it to me!" Cai Wei was the first to speak.

"Go get it, it'll be yours from now on!"

"The county lord might as well reward me with the box of palace nine-colored rouge sent by Rouran!" Qingwen said.

"Rouran sent it and Meidai, you can take some too!" Xiao Mingyue said to Qingwen.

"Amber, I know you like the pair of red earrings sent by the party, go ahead!"

"Thank you, Miss!"

"Those dim sum and beef jerky sent by Rouran and the party were Yunzhu's favorite snacks, take out some of them, ask someone to send them to the south, and put them in front of Yunzhu's spiritual seat!" Xiao Mingyue admonished a few people.

Xiao Mingyue thought that Yunzhu had been gone for a long time, and she was the most innocent, lively and pleasing in her lifetime, such a simple and simple daughter's family, hoping that she could be free in the next life, come and go freely, don't go back to the deep palace, and don't give her life to anyone again.

In the second half of the year, several people went to the Jiming Temple outside the palace to pray for Yunzhu.

The rituals in Xiao Mingyue's palace were sent one after another, not only the intention of partnership, but also the ministers in the court who would stammer, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace.

Everyone knows that Xiao Mingyue says a word, even the emperor has to listen to it, and he is very good to people on weekdays, so no matter which palace people are willing to go to Mingyue Tower.

Or ask for needlework, or come to deliver palace satin snacks, or come to ask for peace.

Mingyue Tower has become the busiest palace in the palace, Xiao Mingyue is worried that this is inappropriate, and she will lose order, so she will not ask people to come.

But those courtiers and palace people didn't follow it, and they all said, 'The county lord has accepted someone else's gift, why doesn't he accept us?' '

Xiao Mingyue couldn't do anything about them, but fortunately, she had a lot of plans, and with the gifts sent by everyone, she appraised the silver and used it to repair bridges and pave roads for the people of Pingtou and help the poor.

and all of them are in the name of the people.

Even the abbot of Jiming Temple said: "The county lord is so compassionate, what a female bodhisattva!"

Zhen Miaoxia gave birth to a prince, of course she was proud, but there were only a handful of people in her palace, and she was always unhappy.

He often took his children to the Qinzheng Palace to greet the emperor.

After coming and going, it is inevitable to complain that there are many people in Xiao Mingyue's palace, and they do not conform to the rules and so on.

At first, Chen Xian remembered that she had not long given birth, and she was nominally his concubine after all, and told her not to care about many things, but to take care of the child.

He also asked the jade craftsman to carve a jade cicada from the remaining Huanglong jade and give it to the little prince as a New Year's gift.

Zhen Miaoxia was also a lot more proud of her children, knowing that even if the emperor didn't like him, he only had this one son, the only son.

But I don't want her to keep teaching and jealousy.

Chen Xian became even more bored with her, so much so that in the end, if she came, he just asked Chun An to send her away.

In winter, there were a few heavy snowfalls.

Yu Wendi also sent a letter asking Xiao Mingyue to enjoy the snow and skate on the ice.

Xiao Mingyue wanted to go every time, but she was worried that Chen Xian would stop her and be jealous.

I remembered that after the New Year, spring was coming, and the cotton seeds I sent were going to be planted.

You can think about it for yourself.

Every time I go to the Qinzheng Palace to deliver snacks, I intentionally or unintentionally mention this matter.

Chen Xian also learned of Yu Wendi's cunning, and was reluctant to let Xiao Mingyue leave half a step.

But I don't want to show that I am narrow-minded and jealous.

"The exchange of millet and cotton cultivation between the two countries is also a big deal! Please give your Majesty's permission! Mingyue will come back in ten days and a half months!" Xiao Mingyue said to Chen Xian.

"Do you have to go?" Chen Xian looked at Xiao Mingyue with reluctance in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I've only been there for just a few days, how can Your Majesty say that."

"I don't want you to leave me half a step, in the past, I just watched you every day, all the time, with your company, you are enough. Now, I can only hope to spend more time with you and seize every moment of time with you!" Chen Xian took Xiao Mingyue's hand and said.

At this time, Chun'an took a few other little eunuchs and palace maids to retreat.

"Mingyue will accompany Your Majesty in the future, and she will also make snacks for Your Majesty!"

Chen Xian smiled faintly, then shook his head lightly.

"Sometimes, the widow really regrets it, if the widow didn't sit in this position, if he took you away and flew high......"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty is the emperor admired by all the people, the backbone of the people of the world, and Your Majesty is the true dragon son destined by God, this is a fact and cannot be changed. Besides, the world is big, where are there only you and me? No matter where we go, we can't escape!"

Xiao Mingyue looked at the few sparrows outside the window, even if she escaped the coldest winter, she couldn't fly out of the high walls of this deep palace.

Just like himself, there are also Chen Xian, Yu Wendi, the dead Ji Yu, Xiao Wen...... No matter how much you don't accept your fate, you will not be able to escape the shackles of fate after all.

The only thing you can grasp is that you can cherish it when you have it.

Even if you can only watch from afar, even if you can only love each other and can't express it.

"Your Majesty, just let me go! Under the peach blossom tree, it is you and me when I was a teenager, falling in love at first sight, and it is the true love of youth; But there is also the son of the tea garden, he has also done a lot for me, and I must give him some explanation!"

"You still have him in your heart after all, in fact, I have already noticed it, but if you don't say it, I just treat it as something I don't have, and I have been deceiving myself! You're still mine! I don't want to lose to Yuwendi!"

"Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this, in this life, I have no fate with both of you, I have both of you in my heart hopelessly, if it weren't for the hindrance of fate, I don't know what to do, so, sometimes, I'm also very happy. If there really is an afterlife, we don't want to meet them at the same time!"

"If there is an afterlife, I will spare no effort to be the first to find you and take you away. No matter how hard it is, no matter how hard it is, no matter how hard it is! I don't care about any fate!"

……

Xiao Mingyue embarked on the road to the Northern Wei Dynasty and brought Chen Guo's millet and rice seeds.

Yu Wendi looked forward to it day and night, and finally looked forward to Xiao Mingyue.

Since Yu Wendi became a Taishi, Ding Fu and Yi have never seen him so happy.

Xiao Mingyue knew that no matter whether her feelings for Yu Wendi were long-lasting, she was moved by his sincerity. I always owe him.

He has paid too much for himself, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to pay it off in this life.

If Chen Xian's heart is concerned, half of it is Xiao Mingyue, and half of it is Jiangshan Sheji.

Then in Yu Wendi's heart, more than half of them are pretending to be Xiao Mingyue, and the others are government and business.

The moment the two met, Yu Wendi showed a long-lost smile.

It is still arranged for Xiao Mingyue to live in the hot spring palace near the palace, so that she can soak in the hot springs, and it is more convenient to see her by herself.

"Long time no see, you're thin!" Xiao Mingyue looked at Yu Wendi and smiled.

"I'm afraid you'll not like it if you're fat, so I eat very little every day!" Yu Wendi sat opposite Xiao Mingyue, with a hippie smile.

"Stupid words. Losing weight is losing weight!"

"He's finally willing to let you come!"

"Yes, the entanglement of the three of us should also be put down!"

"If you can't let go, one mountain can't accommodate two tigers, even if we haven't met you, we can't be friends, both Shengyu and Shengliang! What's more, there are people who love the same person deeply!"

"It's not good for anyone, I want you to put aside your hostility and prejudices!"

"It's not easy to talk about, I can't let go of anything, I can't let go of you, after my father died, it was you who encouraged me, when I went to Gan, your letter, I read it seven or eight times every night, you are my spiritual will! My heart and liver!"

"In this life, we are destined to miss it, you should also let go as soon as possible and find a caring person as soon as possible! The days to come are still long."

"I don't, I've never had anyone in my heart, and I don't want to be a showman. If you can't even be the master of who you love, it's okay if I, the master, don't do it. Yue'er doesn't have to persuade me anymore, no matter what, the place in my heart will always be yours alone. I will pray day and night that if there is an afterlife, we will not be separated from the Lord, but will be an ordinary couple!"

Xiao Mingyue looked at Yu Wendi and poured wine for him with a smile.

"Drink! We don't think about those unhappy things, we just cherish the moment!"

In winter, the Northern Wei Dynasty was much colder than Chen Guo, and the night was cold, but Xiao Mingyue only felt warm in her heart.

Yes, I just want to get along all the time, so why bother with it. The days to come are still long, and I will be worried slowly.

The three of them didn't want to think about it, because they had thought about it countless times, but to no avail.

No one wants to waste any more time thinking about troubles.
