I saw a small purple flower crawling on the side of the neck of the woman, Cang Yuning's nails were pinched into the flesh, her eyes slowly narrowed into a slit, and she took a deep breath, and the purple in her eyes faded little by little and returned to normal. At this time, Ming Qin shouted in the coffin: "Master, you come up quickly, let's go together." Cang Yu Ning responded, slowly retreated to Ming Qin's side, and watched Xia Han's sedan chair out of sight.

On the way back, Ming Qin was talking about today's events: "Master, you expected it to be accurate, it really snowed, no wonder we waited so long for the sedan car?" However, after two quarters of an hour, the snow was a foot thick, and the summer cold was frozen, and he still came from Beiyan, and his body was really not good, and he was not frost-resistant at all. It is said that the north is bitter and cold, and the people of Beiyan are fierce, and they are all strong and strong, but I don't think so, I don't see it from the two of them at all. ”

Cang Yuning leaned against the wall of the car and asked without a trace: "Oh? It turned out that it was the prince of Beiyan, and he was indeed a little thinner. The people who served beside him were all from Beiyan? "No, there are palace people pointed out to them by their father, they didn't bring a few people when they came, except for the four that I saw in the Second Emperor's Brother's Mansion that day, there are two, and the maid next to him today is one of them, and there is an old lady who knows the rules of court etiquette."

"I see."

The ice melts, everything recovers, and the cycle of seasons is another spring. After a year of delay, the people of Beiyan finally moved out of the palace as they wished, and the area of the Beiyan palace was several times larger than that of Wan Yuxuan, the key is that it was built in the market, and living here means that it is not under the care of Emperor Jing.

No matter how many people are sent to monitor, there will always be omissions, after all, the distance outside the palace and inside the palace has an impact on the timeliness of the message, and under the premise of time and distance, there are too many people who can do it. Not to mention that Xia Xing and they are not at ease in the palace, and now they are outside the palace, but they want to know what they want each other to know.

The second day of March is a good day to break ground, move out, travel far away, visit relatives and friends. Today, the people of Beiyan moved to the Beiyan Mansion early with the fine soft cage, and the things were packed up last night, which is just a batch of commonly used things and valuables, and other things have been moved to the Beiyan Mansion in batches. The guards moved in two days ago, and now they are all cleaned up, just waiting for Xia Xing and the others to move in directly today.

Xia Xing took Bingning and Lu Wan to visit the garden, going around, especially like to climb and climb high. After a while, I was tired and panting, "Princess, it's almost noon, it's time to rest and go back to dinner." Lu Wan took out a silk handkerchief and wiped her forehead while looking at the sky. Xia Xing saw that it was not too early, so he responded, and several people sat in the pavilion to rest. Bing Ning said: "At this rate, it won't take two days to finish shopping, we will definitely be faster than the prince and them." ”

Because Xia Xing and Xia Han made a bet to see who would finish visiting the Beiyan Mansion first, Bing Ning has been remembered until now. Xia Xing said quietly: "Don't worry, take a nap in the afternoon, and talk about it tomorrow." It's also a waste to spend a day visiting the garden. "Saying that the people who don't waste time in the garden are taking advantage of the high ground to inspect the goal of tomorrow.

The pavilion they erected was built on top of the rockery, and there was a path in the courtyard to the middle of the rockery, and there were more than forty stone steps in the center of the rockery to connect to the pavilion, but Xia Xing and they came from the other side. Just opposite the stone steps, on the other side of the pavilion is a volley corridor, connecting an attic, Xia Xing came up from the attic because this corridor is a wonderful place to enjoy the scenery.

I didn't expect that there was another road connected to the pavilion and I could also go up to the promenade. On the way back, Xia Xing specially went around the attic to see, when he came from the outside stairs, and when he went back, he walked the inside stairs and went out through the back door. The view here is excellent, the location is not too remote, the attic room is very wide, the beaded curtain tulle is crisp, very meaningful. Xia Xing leaned on the railing and looked at the main house of another mansion on the opposite side of the attic, thinking that when he and Ming Qin left the palace without permission, the houses around the Beiyan Mansion still had no owners.

So he strolled downstairs with a smile and explained to Lu Wan: "Clean up this place, this princess wants to use this place as a study." "Yes, Your Highness." As soon as she stepped out of the courtyard, a maid came to call her and had dinner with Xia Han. Xia Xing nodded and walked quickly, thinking that the second brother should ask if he found anything. When I entered the Zigui Courtyard, I saw that everything was neatly placed and swept in an orderly manner, and I thought it was almost cleaned up.

Xia Xing stopped before entering the door and asked Lu Wan, "How is the courtyard of this princess?" Can the things that are rewarded by the palaces be put into the treasury in the booklets? Lu Wan said hesitantly: "The princess's yard is thought to be cleaned up, and the princess can rest when she goes back." It's just that the things rewarded by the palaces are probably not in order for a while, and the slaves and maids will personally watch them after they go back, and make sure that they are cleaned up at night. ”

Lu Wan bowed her head respectfully, poked her two toes around, panicked, in fact, she had followed the princess all morning, how did she know what was going on in the courtyard. It's just that according to the past situation, isn't this princess the most clear? I don't know if it's just asking me about the situation and letting me guess, or ...... In Lu Wan's uneasy speculation, Xia Xing said slowly: "Oh, look at my memory, you have been following this princess today." ”

After Xia Xing finished speaking, he went in directly, and Lu Wan let out a sigh and hurriedly followed. She was holding the curtain at the door of the compartment, and saw Xia Xing greet her: "Your Highness." "Well, you can take Bingning and Lu Wan down to eat, we just have Aunt Bitao here." Xia Xing turned around and said to the two of them after instructing her to pull the yarn and say, "You go with the woman, and we will go back to the courtyard in a while." Bing Ning and the two of them should be blessed.

Xia Han was wiping his chopsticks in the room, Aunt Bitao nodded after checking each dish, and then withdrew to the outer room, and said to Xia Xing: "Your Highness, please eat first, the slave and maid are waiting here, what do you command, and what grandmothers in the outside will give you." Then he moved a small stool and embroidered at the door of the outer room. Xia Xing pulled out the table and sat down to eat directly, Xia Han raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that you are very hungry?" ”

Xia Xing glanced at Xia Han's hands that were still slowly wiping his chopsticks, and said, "It seems that you are not hungry at all?" Both of them smiled tacitly, one sarcastic and the other unelegant, one sarcastic and the other more elegant. Xia Han saw that Xia Xing ate so fragrantly, so he simply sandwiched a piece, tasted it, and said: "It's okay, I eat almost the same thing every day, I really don't know where you got such a good appetite?" ”

Xia Xing poured a sip of tea and said: "The food is almost the same, but the methods are ever-changing, you are not satisfied with so many good things to eat every day, think about Beiyan when we were four years old, even now." You should cherish it, we won't enjoy it for long. For a person like you, brother, who spares no blessings, do you know what the result will be? Xia Han smiled and asked, "Oh, what result?" "You'll never have to enjoy this kind of treatment again."

Xia Han smiled and nodded happily: "It is indeed reasonable, I am waiting for that day." Xia Xing looked at Xia Han with burning eyes: "I'm also waiting for that day." Waiting to return to Beiyan to live a hard-working life, although the two didn't say anything, the expectation in their hearts still infected each other. Xia Han turned his head and asked, "I heard you embarrassing the little girl outside?" "You're interested?"

Xia Han waved his hand and said, "That's not it, I'll just ask casually." Having said that, after Xia Han finished speaking, he glanced at it from time to time, and specially picked green dishes, and put them in the bowl without eating. Xia Xing helplessly held his forehead: "I just think some of the rules and systems set by Hua Guoding are very interesting, just test it." ”

Xia Han pretended to be very interested: "Oh, how do you say it?" "Beiyan has palace maids and guards, but Huaguo has more eunuch positions, and there are ordinary palace maids and female officials in Beiyan Palace, and they are appointed according to their ability and contribution, while Huaguo is divided into first, second, and third, rough palace maids, but it is determined according to the preferences of the master. This makes it more complicated inside. ”

"I want to hear about it."

"Women who don't want to leave the palace in Beiyan want to be a female official for a better life, so they usually work hard to add points to the year-end assessment. But in China, all their honors are determined by the preferences of their masters, so they will compete with each other and figure out the hearts of their masters. If there is no legal system to follow, it will inevitably be unfair, not to mention that the same first-class palace maids can have different statuses due to the different identities of their masters. ”

Xia Han touched his chin and said: "So if you say a casual word, she will think about a variety of possibilities, guess why you ask, and what you want her to say." "Yes, just because the habit is ingrained." "Then she'll be terrified all afternoon." "Actually, Huaguo's way of being a royal is very interesting, isn't it?"

Xia Han said solemnly: "Okay, let's not talk about this, do you find anything after you turn around?" Xia Xing poked the rice in the bowl and said, "Does it count if you found a study?" "Study?" "Well, the terrain is quite high, the environment is good, the key is to be able to see the main house next door." "The main house next door?"

"Yes, Mingqin also said that he will live next door to us in the future. I remember that a year ago, the houses around the Beiyan Mansion were all vacant, but today I see ......"

Xia Han leaned in the direction of Xia Xing and asked cautiously, "What do you see?" Xia Xing touched the tea Gu and said with an uncertain expression: "I don't know if it's an illusion, I feel that there are people living in the house next door to us." "There was some silence inside, but the wind was blowing outside. The two glanced at each other, and Xia Han said slowly: "This has to be checked carefully." "Don't worry, since there are people living next door, we will always see you."

Xia Han pondered: "It's okay, let's wait and see what happens." Xia Xing took a sip of tea and said, "I want to turn over the soil in the courtyard in the north and plant some crops." "Whatever you want, but most of the Northern Swallows are pastures, and the land without growing grass can't support anything. You should know how bitter and cold Beiyan is, only pasture can survive, it's not that you don't want to grow some food. Alas, so we have been trying to go south since our great-grandfather. ”
