"Okay, don't cry and cry, Aunt Feng can't stop."

Fang Zhizhen, the newly promoted head of the Courtyard, spoke. She is as old as Xia Ning, but she is mature and sophisticated, calm and steady, and the key is to meet the source left and right. Originally, Aunt Feng was most proud of Xia Ning, but Xia Ning couldn't afford things, so Fang Zhizhen was the most suitable candidate.

Xia Ning still couldn't stop crying, and accidentally choked up a little louder, Fang Zhizhen looked back at her and scolded loudly:

"What it looks like! Aunt Feng is gone, is it okay to stay close to the courtyard? Hold it back for me! ”

Xia Ning finally held back, remembering that Aunt Feng had told her before, be careful in everything, don't be reckless, and don't provoke Fang Zhizhen. Fang Zhizhen looked at Xia Ning's back, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Feng Yuxian was biased towards Xia Ning like that in the past, how is it today? Couldn't you have to prop up this close courtyard by yourself?

Lei Yi's side accepted the double blow of Shiyi and Feng Yuxian's death, and he couldn't keep up his spirits every day, but fortunately he was accompanied by his wife.

"Lang Jun, life still has to go on, but if you want to go back to Fanzhou and watch for her, I won't stop you."

Lei Yi is approaching middle age, and looking at his wife who has been with him for many years, she is also haggard. Thinking about it, he failed a woman, and he couldn't let the woman in front of him feel sad and sad for himself, so he made up his mind to live well with his wife, and Yi Chen also said before that his wife's illness could not make her miserable for the rest of her life.

"I'm not going back, I'll accompany you."

The two hugged each other, no matter what, they couldn't let the person in front of them be hurt again, Lei Yi put Feng Yuxian deep in his heart......

Since Feng Yuxian left, Xia Ning has always been arranged to do a lot of work, running around all day long, and she is tired. But it was all arranged by the head of the court, and no one dared to say anything. Some people also secretly discussed, saying that Xia Ning no longer had a backer. On this day, Xia Ning rushed back because of a lot of work, it was already dark, Fang Zhizhen had arranged other things, but it was too late to do it, Fang Zhizhen looked at Xia Ning and said to her:

"Do you have any grievances?"

Xia Ning knelt and quickly shook his head:

"Slaves don't dare."

"Okay, then you can go and kneel outside the hospital for two hours to receive the punishment!"

When Xia Ning heard this, she felt a chill in her heart, such a cold weather, two hours, what a crime it was to kneel, but she could only accept her fate.

Fang Zhizhen asked Xia Ning to kneel outside the courtyard because there was no wall outside the courtyard to block the wind, and the jealousy in his heart that Xia Ning had won Feng Yuxian's deep appreciation in the past came out, which was also a kind of revenge.

Xia Ning knelt weakly on the ground, fortunately there was no snow, but the coldness of the place where his knees touched passed through his legs and invaded his entire body. Fang Zhizhen is okay, she can wear a cloak. But how can you resist the cold wind of winter? Xia Ning thought more and more about Feng Yuxian when she was alive, although she also made mistakes, but Feng Yuxian was magnanimous no matter who she treated, as long as it was not particularly serious, she would not punish too much.

In fact, not only her, but also the other palace maids who were close to the courtyard had also been severely punished by Fang Zhizhen, and everyone also had suffering, but she was the head of the courtyard, and no one dared to complain.

The wind was blowing, and two hours seemed like they were far away. Xia Ning's body couldn't stop shaking, and his face was as painful as a pinprick on his face. Aunt Feng gradually disappeared in her mind, and what was replaced by Jiao Zhan'er's handsome face. Xia Ning closed her eyes, since the change in the courtyard, she didn't have time to meet Jiao Zhan'er at all, because she always had endless work, and when she arrived at the prince's Mingyang Palace, she also left after completing the task, and continued to run non-stop.

It was late at night, and Xia Ning saw that the candles in the courtyard had been extinguished, and he still had an hour to end. But she had already sneezed several times. Wrap the cloak tightly, but the internal body has been blown cold and useless.

"What are you doing here?"

The sound of heaven sounded above Xia Ning's head. She raised her head in disbelief, and really saw Jiao Zhan'er's face, she couldn't guess the expression on it, but the moment she saw him, Xia Ning felt that the air was warm.

"Jiao-sama ......"

Unexpectedly, Xia Ning opened his mouth, his lips and teeth were slurred, and he was trembling.

Jiao Zhan'er squatted down and was about to pull Xia Ning up, but Xia Ning quickly refused, saying:

"Lord Jiao, Xia Ning is being punished, don't move."

Jiao Zhan'er looked at her and frowned. After that, he took off his cloak and put it on Xia Ning directly. Xia Ning looked at Jiao Zhan'er's actions in surprise. The warmth of the man's body temperature left on the cloak made her heart beat and moved.

Jiao Zhan'er's cloak is much thicker than that of the palace maid, not to mention that he is the prince's personal guard, and in terms of clothing, the material is much better than that of ordinary guards. He wrapped Xia Ning tightly with his cloak, and then asked:

"Is it the Fang Patriarch who punished you?"

Xia Ning nodded, Jiao Zhan'er was a little angry, and said:

"How wrong did you make to punish you on such a cold night?"

Jiao Zhan'er also heard about Fang Zhizhen's temper and the way he disciplined the court, but he didn't expect Xia Ning to be spared.

"I'll go and tell Fang Zhizhen, you get up."

In the cold wind, Xia Ning shook his head resolutely and said:

"Master Jiao, no. Aunt Feng told me before that she should be careful and not be her enemy, otherwise, she would be even more sad in the future. Aunt Feng is gone, and there is no one to help me......"

Xia Ning said as she spoke, her eyes couldn't help but turn red again, and tears fell out again. Jiao Zhan'er took out a handkerchief, gently wiped her tears, and said softly:

"Okay, listen to you, don't cry."

Xia Ning felt Jiao Zhan'er's gentleness, and his heart was very warm. As soon as his mind was hot, he even asked again:

"Can Master Jiao feel Xia Ning's heart?"

Jiao Zhan'er was stunned for a moment, and then said with a cold face:

"Don't say these things at times like these."

Xia Ning was frustrated again, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

"Isn't it still cold?"

Xia Ning shook his head and said:

"Your mantle is warm."

Indeed, it was much warmer than just now, and this time from the inside out.

"Why are you so flamboyant?"

Jiao Zhan'er taunted her. Xia Ning was stunned, she was flamboyant? Doesn't that apply to men? She didn't feel it. Looking at Jiao Zhan'er, Xia Ning hurriedly took off her cloak, Jiao Zhan'er watched her movements and asked:

"What are you doing?"

"Adults can't catch a cold, slaves and maids are not afraid."

Jiao Zhan'er held down Xia Ning's movements, tilted his head slightly, and said:

"What's that? They are all serving people, how can they be so exquisite. ”

After speaking, Jiao Zhan'er re-wrapped Xia Ning to prevent the cold wind from invading.

"Why did you come here?"

Xia Ning reacted at this time, shouldn't he fall asleep? Jiao Zhan'er dodged his eyes for a moment and said:

"The prince is there with the emperor today, I just sent him there, and I came back and passed by."

Xia Ning nodded and said:

"Then my lord, go back quickly, don't delay your rest."

Jiao Zhan'er looked at Xia Ning, then looked at the courtyard and said:

"I'll accompany you."

"Huh?"

The sudden words made Xia Ning confused, and he murmured involuntarily:

"Stay with me?"

Jiao Zhan'er patted her head and said:

"Don't think about it, I'm going back to the emperor in a while, and I won't be in Mingyang Palace for long, so it's good to come out and do some activities."

Xia Ning said again:

"However, it would not be good if Fang Zhangyuan found out...... Don't bother the adults. ”

Jiao Zhan'er is helpless, why does she have so many scruples?

"It's okay, there's movement in the courtyard, I'll find out, put your heart down, huh?"

Xia Ning listened, and then completely quieted down. With Jiao Zhan'er by her side, she was full of joy and dreamed of. Jiao Zhan'er looked at her little group, and couldn't stand such a cold at all.

"Ahh

Xia Ning sneezed a few more times, Jiao Zhan'er hesitated, approached Xia Ning, and then hesitated with one arm, and finally wrapped around Xia Ning's shoulder, and suddenly Xia Ning's body stiffened, she looked at Jiao Zhan'er incredulously, Jiao Zhan'er glanced at her, and said:

"Let's keep warm."

Xia Ning lowered his head, but the corners of his mouth couldn't be controlled, open, couldn't help laughing, and was afraid that Jiao Zhan'er would find out, stiff. Jiao Zhan'er glanced at the trembling body beside him, feeling helpless, taking advantage of Xia Ning's lack of attention, Jiao Zhan'er grabbed her, Xia Ning was so frightened that he hurriedly glanced at the courtyard and shouted in a panic:

"You ......"

Jiao Zhan'er hurriedly covered her mouth, frowned, and said in a low voice:

"Do you want you to come out?"

Xia Ning shook her head, and her lips touched Jiao Zhan'er's palm, making her heart tremble. Jiao Zhan'er took his hand, and Xia Ning asked nervously:

"What are you doing here?"

"You're stupid, in the middle of the night, it's so cold, she's asleep, can you come out to supervise you?"

Although Xia Ning was a little uneasy, she was still very relieved to have Jiao Zhan'er by her side. But her knees were stiff and her legs were numb, and she couldn't walk. Jiao Zhan'er squatted down and rubbed her knees to let the heating in her hands get in. Xia Ning watched Jiao Zhan'er's every move, and his heart bloomed like a flower.

"Alright, let's go to sleep."

"No, slave...... Still don't dare to ......"

Jiao Zhan'er was speechless, so he had to accompany Xia Ning to stand outside until the hour, but Xia Ning was shocked and couldn't feel the cold, and the cloak was really warm.

"Be careful in the future and avoid her."

Before Xia Ning entered, Jiao Zhan'er instructed, Xia Ning nodded, smiled and waved goodbye to him. But in my heart, I thought: I will hide from her, but she will take the initiative to find her, and she really can't hide from it......

Xia Ning was lying on the bed, no matter how he felt that he was not as warm as Jiao Zhan'er's cloak, hehe, Xia Ning couldn't help but laugh at himself for being so shameless.

In the middle of the night, the cold can't be colder, and the deep can't be deeper. Suddenly, someone shouted:

"Catch the assassin!"

The voice came from the prince's Mingyang Palace. Liang Yuanzhi returned from the emperor, and as soon as he fell asleep, he was attacked by assassins. Fortunately, Jiao Zhan'er was by his side, and the assassin did not succeed, but for a while, the guards and officers in the palace all blew up, because it was Mingyang Palace that was attacked, and no one dared to be ambiguous!
