The volcano burned five carts of agarwood, and when the banquet was halfway through, the flames gradually dimmed, Lin Qingmei said: "Brother Ling, the agarwood is gone, is everyone going home?" ”

Zhao Ling shook his head: "There is also nail decoction." ”

Sure enough, there were two truckloads of spices brought from the small yellow door, and before they got close, they could smell the pungent aroma. The small yellow door carefully covers the agarwood mountain, and the incense is mixed with musk and various pollen, which is made of yellow wax bonding. Under the baking of the agarwood mountain, the fragrance was stimulated, and the yellow wax in it gradually melted and seeped into the agarwood to help burn, so the dark volcano re-ignited. Xiao Qingmei looked at it and said, "Brother Ling, this costs a lot of money!" Mei'er has rouge made of nail decoction, which is precious! ”

Zhao Ling said with a smile: "This year, there are frequent good news in the frontier, and my father is in a good mood, so I am more grand." Such an extravagant scene only comes once in several years. ”

At this time, the emperor toasted: "Before I know it, I am forty years old, and in the six years since I ascended the throne, the world has been leveled, the Haiyan River is clear, and all the secretaries should drink a cup together!" ”

So everyone raised their glasses, and Xiao Qingmei asked, "Brother Ling, Your Majesty is forty, so what does he belong to?" ”

The emperor happened to hear it, so he said kindly: "Isn't the seventh girl counted?" My zodiac is the toughest of the 12 zodiac signs, and I have quarreled with the ministers for a long time! ”

During the banquet, Wang pursed his lips and whispered: "That fool is stupid, how can he calculate it?" ”

Sure enough, Xiao Qingmei thought for a long time, and asked uncertainly, "Is it a donkey?" ”

For a while, the audience was silent, and only the whirring sound of the flames of Agarwood Mountain could be heard. Zhao Ling's face changed, he looked at the emperor above worriedly, and subconsciously clenched Xiao Mei'er's hand.

The emperor's hand holding a glass hovered for a moment, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Hahaha, you child, is there a donkey in the zodiac?" Although I have a strong temper, I am a diligent cow! ”

So the whole audience laughed, and each persuaded him to drink and suppress his shock. Lin Zhengtang's family of three sat in the middle of the banquet, and the hand holding the wine glass was undecided: just now, they were one step away from killing their heads! If the emperor is angry, where can they escape from the crime of sitting together?

Lin Qingmei drank too much wine and wanted to go to the toilet, Zhao Ling called the palace maid to lead her there, and the Wang family also left the table when she saw this, thinking that she had to teach the little fool a lesson today, her master worked hard every day to deal with the emperor, and this little fool almost got into trouble with a word!

Xiao Qingmei came out of the dressing room, looking for the palace maid all over the place, but saw Wang standing menacingly under the corridor, her scalp was numb, and she turned around and walked in the opposite direction. Who knew that the Wang family behind him scolded: "Stupid maid come here!" ”

Lin Qingmei trotted up more and more hurriedly, and the Wang family behind her was tall and big, and caught up with her in three or two steps: "You still dare to run?" Did you know that you just got into trouble? If it weren't for the Holy Mercy, we wouldn't have enough heads in one house! ”

Xiao Qingmei thinks that she just said the wrong answer, it is normal to make mistakes, and it is not worth the anger of the eldest aunt. So she felt that her aunt's behavior was like what her grandmother said, "I'm looking for excuses to find fault again."

She relied on Zhao Ling's chassis, and felt a little more confident: "The eldest aunt is bad!" I want to bully Meier again! ”

Seeing this, the Wang family was even more angry, and raised his hand to fight, but at this time, Zhao Ling's voice came coldly: "Why is Mrs. Lin lynching here?" Is the palace also a place where you can go wild? ”

The Wang family hurriedly let go and laughed in every possible way: "Your Highness misunderstood the concubine, it is really Mei'er who does not understand the rules and collides with the saint, and does not impose a small punishment, I am afraid that it will cause a big disaster in the future." ”

Lin Qingmei ran behind Zhao Ling and hid, revealing her little head and choking her: "Big aunt is bad!" He turned back to Zhao Ling and complained: "Brother Ling, just now the eldest aunt scolded Mei'er and wanted to slap Mei'er." ”

Wang's face was angry, but because Zhao Ling was not good at protecting him, he only barely smiled and didn't dare to scold. Zhao Ling's voice was slow and threatening: "Your Majesty has already forgiven Mei'er, what are you to punish her?" With such an arrogance, are you more noble than Your Majesty? ”

When Wang heard this, his knees fell to the ground: "Your Highness is serious, how dare the concubine be compared with the Son of Heaven?" ”

"I don't dare." Zhao Ling dropped this sentence and led Xiao Qingmei away.

Lin Qingmei said as she walked: "Brother Ling, you are so good!" Descending from heaven like a god. ”

Zhao Ling listened to Xiao Qingmei's praise, and Fang Cai's anger disappeared in an instant, and he smiled: "Because the palace maid who sent you went back alone, Brother Ling is afraid that you will only be able to find it if you don't know the way!" ”

He walked to a fork in the road, the left side led to the Taiji Hall, the fire of Agarwood Mountain went straight into the sky, and the right side led to a small garden, Zhao Ling took Xiao Qingmei to the right.

There was a stone table and stone bench in the small garden, Zhao Ling pulled Xiao Qingmei into his arms and sat down, pinched her cheek, and said affectionately: "Xiao Mei'er doesn't even know the zodiac, it's really ashamed." ”

Lin Qingmei covered her face shyly: "Mei'er will calculate, but I forgot about it for a while." ”

"No, Mei'er won't." Zhao Ling strongly denied her, "So Mei'er wants to enter the palace to go to school, and Brother Ling supervises you every day." ”

Xiao Qingmei hurriedly shook her head: "Don't, don't!" Meier don't go to school! The gentleman will take a thick ring ruler and hit the palm of his hand! ”

Zhao Ling's drunkard didn't mean to drink, saying that he wanted her to go to school, but in fact, he wanted to take Xiao Mei'er out of Mrs. Lin's Jing'an Hall. In the future, the weather is getting colder and colder, and every night when I go to Shangshu Mansion wearing stars and moons, I have to eat Mrs. Lin's hanging, which is really uncomfortable. It's better to let Xiao Qingmei go to school in Zishantang and rest in the palace every night, which is very convenient.

He was kind and tempting: "Who will beat you in Brother Ling's territory?" If Mei'er comes to school in the palace, your aunt and Sister Lan won't be able to find your fault, and Mei'er won't have to be afraid of them, right? ”

Xiao Qingmei lowered her head and thought about this question for a long time, before she smiled like a flower: "Brother Ling is really good to Mei'er." ”

"Hmm, how do you repay it?" Zhao Ling actually wanted Lin Qingmei to humiliate the Wang family with a powder last, but Xiao Qingmei picked up his face and kissed him on the cheek. He raised his head to look at the full moon, the bright moon was in the sky, and the full moon was a good time for loving reunion, so he grabbed Xiao Qingmei's head and kissed it deeply.

When Biyu found it, the two were inseparable, and she turned around uncomfortably and didn't see it. At this time, fireworks were lit outside the Taiji Hall, and in the deafening crackling sound, the fire tree silver flowers bloomed in the night sky, like stars falling. Only the two immortals turned a deaf ear, as if their souls were out of the world, and the world was disturbed and not cared about, and the feelings outside the object were abandoned since then.
