Chapter 168: Do your best

When I was young, the sound of falling snow outside the window.

"It's snowing again." Shen Mei felt shallow, and with the sound of snow, she was also sleepy.

Since returning to the palace, Mu Qingfeng said that he was unwilling to let Shen Mei out of his sight again, and Shen Mei also understood his good intentions for himself, and no longer shirked it, since the queen did not come to trouble her again, he simply left it to him.

Picked up a cloak and put it on, and walked out of the room lightly, she was used to his late-night busyness, and somehow, she just wanted to go and see it today.

The lights in the study were bright, and the window reflected the appearance of a man lying on the desk, Shen Mei had some thoughts in her heart, walked to the window softly, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the shadow, but before she could come back to her senses, the window was pushed open.

Mu Qingfeng saw that she looked stunned, and the tiredness between her eyebrows and eyes dissipated for a while, staring at her funny. "Why, I'm not here, can't you sleep?"

"Nothing." The feeling of being seen through at a glance is indeed a little uncomfortable. A pair of watery eyes secretly parted from the past, for fear of being seen through again, Shen Mei didn't realize that her appearance fell on Mu Qingfeng's eyes and caused ripples, which was pitiful.

"Wear so little, you are weak, you are not afraid of the wind and cold, come in." When the man saw her, he put on a cloak alone, showed his eyebrows with some displeasure, leaned over, grabbed her hand, gently lifted the whole person up, and fell into his arms from the window.

"Look at you, like a child, your face is frozen like this, isn't it cold?" Mu Qingfeng blamed softly with some anger, Shen Mei blushed for no reason, maybe he was a little uncomfortable being held by him, after all, he had never been like this, and he couldn't say anything strange today.

"That's... You let go of me. Shen Mei lowered her head to prevent him from seeing her slightly embarrassed appearance. made a gesture to break free from the man's embrace, although this embrace brought her a feeling of warmth and affection, but the man increased his strength and didn't let her move half a point.

"Why, I don't like it." The man's breathtaking voice surrounded her ears with the fragrance of sandalwood that belonged to him, and the two sat in front of the desk with each other, Mu Qingfeng stretched out his hand to brush a few edelweisses from her hair, and looked at the shy woman in his arms with doting eyes.

The two looked at each other, and the room was immersed in an ambiguity that no one else could know, but no one spoke first.

Shen Meisheng has a good bone appearance, ice muscles and jade bones, double pupils cut water, but she is fresh and moving without powder, how can she not be lovely.

After watching for a moment, Mu Qingfeng lowered his head slightly and whispered in her ear, "Are you sleepy?" ”

Xiangyu nodded lightly in her arms.

Mu Qingfeng immediately got up and hugged the person in his arms tightly, with a hearty smile on his face. Shen Mei lowered her head timidly, and a flush appeared on her face.

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Mei opened her sleepy eyes, only to find that Mu Qingfeng had already disappeared.

"Sister, you're awake." As soon as Xiao Tao entered the door, she saw Shen Mei leaning on the side of the bed, looking not very good.

"Ahem." Can't stand the discomfort of the throat. I felt weak and my mouth was dry.

"It's not like a cold." Xiao Tao asked with concern, stepped forward to take a look, only to feel that Shen Mei's complexion was indeed not very good, and remembered that she had been going out early and returning late for the past few days.

"Xiao Tao, I'll ask a doctor to come over later, I probably caught a cold last night." Even his voice was a little hoarse.

"Sister, I'll go now." The little girl put down her washing things and was about to go out when she heard the woman behind her say.

"There is no need to disturb the prince about this." Shen Mei didn't want him to worry about herself anymore.

Xiao Tao's heart is clear. He turned around and went out the door.

A moment later, the imperial doctor in the palace came to see him, and he did have a cold. But it was no big deal, I prescribed a few pairs of medicines, instructed my subordinates to do some things, and then returned.

In this palace, Mu Qingfeng is now favored by the emperor, and he treats her very respectfully. But now was a critical time, and she didn't want to distract him any more, so he could let go and do what he wanted.

couldn't help but think of last night's charm, and felt that Mu Qingfeng might have a different meaning for her.

After taking the medicine, I felt a little more energetic. However, the matter of the dinner party should not be taken lightly. Thinking about Shen Mei, she got up, asked Xiao Tao to bring a pen and paper, and carefully wrote down the plan for the arrangement, after all, the things that the queen explained must not be sloppy, how could Shen Mei's seven-trick exquisite heart not see the queen's ulterior motives. It's just that the matter has come to this point, then she must do her best, according to the current situation, if it is done well, she may be able to help Mu Qingfeng.

When I think of him, I can't help but smile slightly.

"Xiao Tao, you help me bring a letter to the Ministry of Rites and hand it over to Lord Zou of the Ministry of Rites." After all, this dinner is a big event, and the Ministry of Rites has always been responsible for such matters, so it is reasonable to check with the Ministry of Rites.

After experiencing so many twists and turns, Shen Mei felt more and more that in this deep palace, no matter what she did, she had to be careful.

"Okay, sister." Xiao Tao received the letter and went out.

Not long after Xiao Tao went out, she heard a burst of laughter in the courtyard, and Shen Mei knew who was coming by listening to the voice. Straighten your clothes.

"Sister Mei, Sister Mei." The little girl's voice was joyful as she walked towards her room.

"The princess is here." Shen Mei propped herself up and went to greet the comer.

It's just that before she walked outside the door, she saw the little princess happily enter the house and held Shen Mei's hand. I haven't seen it for a while, the little girl has grown a lot taller, but in addition, Shen Mei noticed a man standing behind the princess.

He looked like he was thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a red winter coat embroidered with golden silk beasts, and wearing a white jade auspicious cloud jade pendant on his waist. There is a bit of sassy air between the eyebrows and eyes, and the hair bun is high, although it looks delicate but gives people a different kind of luxury.

Shen Mei led the two into the house and ordered Lianxin to serve some tea.

"Come into the house quickly, it snowed a lot last night, and it's only this hour, I've already made Lianxin add charcoal fire a few times." Shen Mei held the princess's hand, only to feel that this little hand was very cold, so she used the temperature of her hand to warm her.

"Sister Mei, are you not feeling well?" However, the girl was thoughtful, and as soon as she entered the room, she saw Shen Mei's haggard face.

"It's okay, it's just that I slept late last night and my spirit is not very good." Shen Mei looked at the man beside her again, he looked delicate, but his bright eyes gave people a very clever feeling, especially when the boy laughed, it gave people a feeling even more so.

Perhaps sensing Shen Mei's gaze, the little princess smiled.

"Oh yes, sister, this is my seventh brother, I just came back from Guozijian, as soon as I heard that he was going to visit Brother Qingfeng, I missed my sister, no, the two of us came together." The little princess is as innocent and cute as ever.

"It turned out to be the Seventh Prince, Shen Mei missed the distance, and I hope the prince will forgive me." Then he wanted to stand up and salute.
