The palace maid collected the complicated look on her face, Ying Ying smiled and accepted the note in her hand and hid it in the wide sleeves of her robe.

"If it's all right, I'll go first."

Qiushui blessed the palace maid and said, "Sister go well." ”

Qiushui turned around and carried the food box into his room.

She placed the food box on the table and opened it layer by layer, and at the bottom of the food box lay a silver hairpin.

"Rin, are you there?" Shen Huai rubbed his eyes, opened his eyes sleepily, and sat up from Qi Rin's arms.

Qi Rin turned his head to look at her, and involuntarily slowed down his voice, "There is still some way to go, if you are still sleepy, you might as well lean on me to sleep for a while." ”

Shen Huai shook his head, sat up straight, and reached out to open the curtain beside him. Poking his head out and looking outside, the royal city in the morning was filled with a white mist, hazy as if he was in a fairyland. Looking at the people in the city in the west, there are thousands of smoke and rain.

Shen Huai was fascinated by it for a while.

A vendor not far away opened the steamer on his stall, and a puff of water vapor rushed up. The vendor grinned and began to sell his buns.

"Rin, Rin." Shen Huai called Qi Rin several times in succession.

Qi Rin hummed, leaned forward, leaned his head on Shen Huai's shoulder, and watched the scene outside the car with her.

Shen Huai was startled by the sudden weight on his shoulders, and when he realized that it was Qi Rin, he couldn't help but reach out and stroke his head.

Qi Rin let Shen Huai play with her, and all the hair she had tied up in the morning was messed up.

Shen Huai smiled heartily, stretched out his hand and pointed to the steamed bun shop not far away, and said, "Ah Rin, let's stop in front, I want to eat that family's steamed buns." ”

Qi Rin's lips curled slightly, "Okay." ”

The two asked the driver to stop at the bun shop in front of them and asked them to buy some buns and come back.

Shen Huai hugged the bulging oiled paper bag, very satisfied.

"Rin, open your mouth."

Shen Huai took out a bun from the oil-paper bag and sent it to Qi Rin's lips with a smile.

Qi Rin opened his mouth to eat as he said.

The smile between Shen Huai's eyebrows became brighter.

The carriage staggered to a newly built house. As the coachman shouted, the horse threw up its head and neighed, pouting its hooves and stopped.

Shen Huai and Qi Rin went down together.

As soon as she got out of the carriage, Shen Huai saw the woman standing at the door, smiling at her.

"Shushu." Shen Huai called her with a smile.

Gong Shushu responded and stepped forward quickly.

"What about Qiao Bai? Why don't you see him? Shen Huai looked around, but he didn't find Qiao Bai's figure.

According to his temperament, he should be inseparable from Shu Shu, how could he leave Shu Shu here alone now and wait for her and Qi Rin.

Shu Shu's cheeks flushed, and he said with some embarrassment: "He is still preparing lunch in the kitchen." ”

Yes...... Okay, Shen Huai has nothing to say.

Such an arrogant and rampant person back then will now squat peacefully in the kitchen to wash his hands and make soup.

Gong Shushu's words really surprised Shen Huai.

Gong Shushu was embarrassed, and repeatedly invited Shen Huai into the room to talk.

Qi Rin pushed Shen Huai in.

This house originally belonged to an official in the royal city, just because he returned to his hometown with his family a few days ago. Qiao Bai was able to take this house down and repair it a little, as a new home for him and Gong Shushu.

Because the house is newly bought, all the facilities in it have not yet been renovated, and there are few maids. In the whole huge courtyard, there were only a few thin maids and a faltering mother-in-law. It seems to be a little desolate for no reason.

Fortunately, Gong Shushu and Qiao Bai are not pampered people, they have been running around all these years, and they are content with such days. Especially Qiao Bai, after finding that the dishes made by the cook in this house were not suitable for his and Shu Shu's appetite, he simply rolled up his sleeves and did it himself. Gong Shushu persuaded him several times, but to no avail.

"Ah Huai, you sit down first, and I'll go to the kitchen to have a look." Gong Shushu beckoned a little maid and asked her to bring a stack of pastries and a pot of tea. I got up and went to the inner courtyard to look for Qiao Bai.

Shen Huai glanced at the plate of pastries, and they were all her favorite foods.

Qi Rin took one of the teas, tested the temperature, and only brought it to Shen Huai after finding that the tea was warm.

Shen Huai took a sip of tea from Qi Rin's hand, and then brought the pastry he had bitten into his hand to Qi Rin's mouth.

"Rin, you try this." Shen Huai had a pastry in his mouth and said vaguely.

Qi Rin lowered his head and took a whole piece of pastry from Shen Huai's hand.

This scene happened to be seen by Qiao Bai and Shu Shu, who came out with lunch.

Tsk, really good at playing.

The pastries on this table, the one in Shen Huai's hand is the most fragrant, right?

Qiao Bai coughed lightly to show the existence of the two of them.

Shen Huai glanced at him sideways, withdrew his hand indifferently, took out a handkerchief and wiped the pastry crumbs on his hand.

"Coming?"

Qiao Bai put down the dishes in his hand, glanced at Shen Huai and Qi Rin who was sitting beside her, and said, "If you don't come again, you girl won't turn the sky upside down." ”

Shen Huai gave him a blank look as usual, and began to pull Gong Shushu to speak affectionately.

I don't know how such a good person as Shu Shu fell in love with him in the first place.

During the banquet, Qiao Bai didn't know where to bring out the good wine on the altar and poured one for him and Qi Rin.

Shen Huai knew how to drink before he met Qi Rin, and the amount of alcohol was not bad.

It's just that after being with Qi Rin, she was detained by Qi Rin and didn't let her drink more.

Now smelling the mellow aroma of wine, Shen Huai was a little hungry for a while.

Qiao Bai glanced at Shen Huai, turned over his hand and didn't know where to get another wine bottle out, filled it and pushed it in front of Shen Huai.

Qi Rin glanced at Qiao Ba with a cold expression, but he didn't stop Shen Huai.

Shen Huai raised his head and drank it all, and the corners of his mouth were filled with crystal wine.

Qi Rin raised his hand to wipe it away, and persuaded in a low voice, "Drinking too much hurts your body." ”

The degree of this wine is really a bit high, Rao is Shen Huai's wine is good, and it is a little good at the moment. She looked at Qi Rin's lips in a daze, and lowered her head in response.

Qi Rin saw that Shen Huai's eyes were confused and flickering, which was different from Qingming in the past, so he knew that she was a little drunk.

Just when Qi Rin stretched out his hand to stop the wine jar in Shen Huai's hand, Qiao Baiyan picked up the wine jar placed aside and poured it into Shen Huai's wine cup.

Shen Huai smelled the aroma of wine, and thought that she had been restrained by Qi Rin for so long, not to mention drinking during the recuperation period, she couldn't smell the aroma of wine.

So Qi Rin didn't have time to stop it, and watched Shen Huai drink another full glass.

"......" Qi Rin.

Qi Rin turned his head to stare at the culprit - Qiao Bai with a cold look in his eyes.

He now has the heart to hack Qiao Bai to death.

"Ah...... Rin. Shen Huai vaguely began to call Qi Rin's name.

Qi Rin sat precariously looking at her.

"Rin, sit down, don't ...... Don't shake. Shen Huai suddenly pressed Qi Rin's shoulder behind him and muttered.

Qi Rin only felt a little pain in his head at the moment.

Shen Huai's appearance is determined not to stay for a long time.

Qi Rin took out some matters about the Jiuyuan Chamber of Commerce that Shen Huai had prepared in advance and handed them over to Shu Shu and Qiao Bai. Then he hurriedly took Shen Huai back to the palace.

Along the way, Shen Huai didn't make much noise, but kept calling Qi Rin's name, one after another.

Qi Rin took Shen Huai in his arms and responded tirelessly.

Suddenly, Shen Huai didn't call Qi Rin's name anymore.

"Rin, why did you say they left me behind?" Shen Huai murmured softly, and a layer of mist was covered in his clear eyes.

Qi Rin's throat tightened, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"If they hadn't left me behind, wouldn't everything be the same now...... Shen Songze and Xu Jin won't die, Wen Yan won't die, and my legs will be ...... well" Shen Huai's gaze was unfocused, but he still stared at one place persistently.

Qi Rin originally thought that Shen Huai had put down those things, but today he realized that he was wrong.

No matter how strong and capable Ah Huai is, she is a girl who has just reached the end of her life.

So many people's lives and such a heavy responsibility are on her shoulders.

Qi Rin stretched out his hand and grabbed Shen Huai's shoulders tightly, and said in a low voice of relief: "It's not your fault, it's not your fault that all of this is all your fault." ”

If Shen Huai hadn't come to the Shen Mansion, I believe that according to the ambitions of the Shen family's big house and the Shen family's second room, the Shen family's fifth room might not have died well. Without Shen Huai's care, Shen Wenyan's fate may not be much better than now.

Shen Huai didn't speak again, but sat obediently in Qi Rin's arms, staring at a place in the carriage with his hazy eyes open.

When he returned to the palace, as soon as Qi Rinfu stepped into the palace gate, he saw Yan Yu and Zhao Hui walking towards here.

The two were laughing and discussing something, and at this time, they couldn't help but be taken aback when they saw Shen Huai walking in with Qi Rin in his arms, and his face was red.

"What's going on?" Yan Yu walked a few steps briskly and asked anxiously.

Qi Rin hurried to find the imperial doctor over, and said concisely at the moment: "It's okay, don't worry about the queen mother, just drank some wine."

Yan Yu's tightly furrowed eyebrows stretched out a little, and she didn't ask where the two of them went, nor did she ask why Shen Huai was drunk like this. I only told the palace maid who was standing beside me to hurry up and cook some decanting soup.

When Qi Rin carried the person back to his dormitory, he met Shu'er and Bu Shao.

Shu'er and Bu Shao were also frightened when they looked at Shen Huai's unconscious appearance.

It was the first time that Shu'er saw Shen Huai drunk like this, so she panicked and went to fetch warm water and a wet towel.

Before Shu'er could get close to wipe Shen Huai's face, the wet towel in his hand was taken away by Qi Rin.

"I'll do it."

Shu'er looked at Qi Rin taking a wet towel to carefully wipe Shen Huai's face, and put down the copper basin in his hand with humor and retreated.

"Acacia ? Acacia? Qi Rin called softly.

But Shen Huai has not reacted.

Qi Rin hesitated for a moment and called, "Girl." ”

Shen Huai replied sullenly.
