In the middle of the night, Tuoba Shen came out of the Taihe Palace, and in addition to Lu Guang, who was holding things, he was also followed by a few palace maids and eunuchs with lanterns appointed by Zhang Mao.

When I just came out of the Taihe Palace, I didn't feel very cold, but after walking for a while, I felt that my body was a lot colder, and my hands were cold, so Tuoba Shen retracted his hands into his clothes. This kind of action is only done at night when he can't see his fingers, and he will never do it in the daytime, it's too indecent.

Looking up at the dark sky, I couldn't see a little starlight, and then I looked down at the palace walls near and far on all sides, except for the occasional few passing palace people with lantern lights, I couldn't see anything else.

The whirring of the cold wind and the echo of footsteps echoed in the palace walls, the lanterns in the hands of the palace maids swayed endlessly, and the lights kept shaking. Several palace maids were also obviously shivering from the cold, and the hair on their heads was also blown messy, and they didn't dare to tidy it up.

It looks like the weather may change dramatically in the next few days! It might snow tomorrow morning!

I had the heart to tell the palace maids to go back first, thinking that there was not much distance left, so I still didn't want them to be difficult.

When I returned to Qingxiao Courtyard, I went to see Cao Guiren first, but Cao Guiren didn't sleep because he was waiting for him to come back. I'm passing the time playing with Ahpo.

The court life of women is so boring that they have nothing to do all day! Otherwise, why are there so many palace fighting dramas, there is nothing to do all day, how can you not find something to do and find something to say.

"Erlang, when will you return to the palace? Zhang Neixing sent someone to say that he wanted to leave you for dinner, why did he come back now, are you full? Cao Guiren took the hot hand towel in Ah He's hand and wiped his hands for Tuoba Shen. Because the emperor only eats light porridge now, he is afraid that he is not used to eating it on the emperor's side, so he asked.

"Well, my father prepared tiger meat for my son. When I returned to the palace at night, my father asked some questions, and after dinner, he also asked about today's studies. That's why it's too late. ”

After thinking about going to the emperor and Feng Run as a messenger today, it is better to tell Auntie. He and Cao Guiren walked to the fireside and sat down, and said, "Auntie, I went to Yaoguang Temple today." ”

"Yaoguang Temple ······" Cao Guiren was shocked, who was in Yaoguang Temple, of course she knew, thinking that Tuoba Shen was not doing anything more, and she went privately, and then thought that Tuoba Shen went out today at the emperor's behest of the emperor, put down the doubts in her heart, and asked in a low voice: "Did Your Majesty let you go?" ”

"Yes, there are still some things for You Zhaoyi, and I took them with me."

Cao Guiren lowered his head and thought for a while, and wondered: "Does Your Majesty want to welcome back You Zhaoyi now?" ”

"I don't know, it seems that my father may have this idea, but whether he will welcome it or not, if it is, when it will be welcomed, it is difficult to say. However, now that my father is guarding the system and the whole country is paying attention, it is too eye-catching to welcome him now, and it will hurt the saintliness. ”

"This matter, don't go out to talk about it, stay in Qingxiao Courtyard these days, don't walk around in the harem."

After thinking about it, he said: "If there are princes and princesses who come to play with you, you should be more careful and don't let them find out anything." ”

Cao Guiren lowered his head, looked at the carbon fire in the slave, and sighed: "Actually." What else would a concubine like an aunt dare to think? Even those who have been favored by His Majesty for the first time, do not measure their own strength, and think that once they will be favored and go straight to the sky, even if they are lucky to be favored for a while, in the end it is just a beautiful dream, it is better to be safe, contentment is happy, it may not be a blessing! ”

。。。。。。。。

Early the next morning, Tuoba Shen was rarely lazy to get into bed, and listened to the whirring of the wind outside last night, and he was still asleep until the end of the day. Because I was worried about carbon poisoning, I put out the carbon fire soon after I slept at night, and Lu Guang only brought people to make a carbon fire in the morning, but although the carbon fire can raise the temperature of some bedrooms, it is not comparable to the warm quilt.

After a quarter of an hour, thinking about going to the Taihe Palace for a banquet at noon today, this kind of banquet to entertain foreign envoys is generally in charge of Yousi, but this time it is special, the emperor wants to thank the guests as filial sons and grandsons, so he will entertain the southern envoy in the queen mother's bedroom. This is also the treatment that the Southern Dynasty can only get when it is evenly matched with this dynasty, and small countries like Goryeo can just let the host and guest Cao entertain them.

Gritted his teeth, lifted the brocade quilt, stood by the stove and got dressed, called Lu Guang, and after washing, he tied his pigtails with Lu Guang's help. Every time he saw that he had spent so much time on this kind of thing, Tuoba Shen felt resentful. What a hassle!

Pushing open the door, I looked at the ground outside the dormitory, where a thin layer of snow had accumulated on the flower beds. I didn't expect the weather to be good yesterday, but it snowed today, he lived in the north in his previous life, and he had never seen this kind of strange weather.

I went to the conservatory and had breakfast with Aunt Cao, and during the chat, I heard the sound of drums and the announcement of the master of ceremonies from the direction of the Taimiao, which lasted for more than an hour before it ended. Tuoba Shen knew that this was the southern envoy in the hanging procedure, today many courtiers will go to the temple to worship, hanging is also a very delayed time and very hard thing, fortunately he is young, do not need to go to the temple in such a cold weather.

After waiting for the temple music to stop for half an hour, Tuoba Shen stood up and said, "Auntie, go and change your clothes first, and then go to the Taihe Palace." ”

"Well, let's go, the elders and ministers of the Taihe Hall are here today, remember to listen more and talk less, you know?"

"I remember." Tuoba Shen smiled bitterly in his heart, Aunt Cao didn't know that he was in the limelight yesterday and would receive the attention of people with a heart, but today is not something that others can't see if he recites the invisibility spell. Maybe someone will take special care of themselves?

I went back to the side room of the bedroom to change into new clothes, dressed up finely, and went to Aunt Cao to say goodbye, and then went out of Qingxiao Courtyard alone.

Today, because it is a big banquet, the palace seems to be very lively, along the way the eunuchs and palace maids come and go, Tuoba Shen walks alone, but it seems to be a little more eye-catching. Walking to the front of the Taihe Palace, there are many people coming and going outside the Sixian Gate today.

Not far from the door, Tuoba Shen saw an acquaintance - secretary Cheng Li Biao. He was talking to a middle-aged man in Hanfu.

Li Biao obviously also saw Tuoba Shen in the crowd, and he had been with Tuoba Shen for a long time, and he had always admired Tuoba Shen's young wisdom. It can be said that he forgot about the New Year, and after saying a few words to the middle-aged man next to him, he walked towards Tuoba Shen, and Tuoba Shen also greeted him.

Although Li Biao is now nearly fifty years old, the relationship between the two is familiar, and Tuoba Shen did not say politely to Li Biao, and said: "Li Gong, I haven't seen you for many days, I heard that Li Gong was ordered to go out, when did you return to Beijing?" ”

"Your Royal Highness is polite, a few months ago, Qingzhou reported that when Dongguan County expanded the city wall, the ancient tomb of the first Zhou Dynasty was found, and some lost classics were found. So much so that even the last side of the Queen Mother can't be admired. After dealing with some things over there, I hurriedly returned to Beijing, fortunately I arrived in Beijing last night, and I was able to visit the Queen Mother today. ”

"Do you have any gains?"

"It is the tomb of the monarch of the Spring and Autumn Period, just because of the age, the bamboo slips have been invaded by the stagnant water for too long, and the handwriting is already difficult to read, and the details need to be studied in detail. It's just that everyone in the province said that there was little hope. After speaking, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, regretful.

"Do your best, the book of the Ji family is hard to find, let alone the spring and autumn world?"

The two walked and talked.

"Who is talking to Li Gong just now? I've never met this person before. ”

"It's also a coincidence, this person is from the Southern Dynasty, speaking of which, His Royal Highness may also know him, Shunyang Fan's Fan Zhen is also!"
