Although Azit walked fast, I did not feel a trace of bumps and discomfort, he was worried that I would get cold when I slept on the way, so he picked something interesting to tell me to listen to, I leaned on that unusually strong shoulder, there was a faint illusion of comfort and steadiness in my heart, and in a moment I woke up, I had lost this feeling of being able to rely on for a long time, and after a little warmth for a long time, I wanted to answer all the good things I had left.

A trace of shock flashed between his brows when he saw my dwelling, and then his eyes were full of regret, and he walked around the house without finding any bamboo benches and wooden chairs, so he carefully placed me on the couch, and the moment I left the warmth, my short steadiness was gone, and he couldn't help but shiver slightly, he thought that I was cold, so he went to the stove to make a fire.

I didn't have hope for a man with five big and three thick to make a fire, but I didn't expect that the green smoke in the stove would only float for a while, and then a red flame would come out.

I couldn't help but sigh lightly and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so powerful, he is even more skilled than me in making fire." ”

Azit smiled embarrassedly, and said lightly, "In the past, there were few palace maids in the palace of the mother concubine, and everything had to be done by yourself, and I have been watching it for a long time, so I will naturally be more proficient." ”

Although there is nothing abnormal on his face, I understand very well what kind of sadness and pain he has to go through behind this sentence to get rid of the current understatement.

I didn't intend to see the totem on his chest with embroidery threads falling off, and suddenly remembered that it should be the plain hosta on his hair bun accidentally broken, so he smiled and proposed to make up with him, he didn't shirk generously took off his coat and handed it to me, I twisted the thread to make up a few stitches, although tired silk carving is my strength, but I am not very good at female red, after sewing and repairing, it is better not to make up the left and right, but it is still eye-catching.

Azit just smiled when he saw my female red and praised the unique and rare embroidery and unique cuteness.

I was slightly annoyed, and only said that I should let him go back to change his clothes quickly, and that this clothes should not be worn again, and that it would be a joke for Azit to tell me some jokes, and when he saw that I was tired, he asked him to leave. I was indeed tired and tired when I went out, and after lying down for a while, I didn't know what was going on, and I fell into a deep sleep.

Sleeping in a daze, "Bang! I suddenly woke up with a loud noise, and in the haze I saw a bright yellow figure standing in the doorway, the door panel had rotted and was overwhelmed by gravity, and he violently opened the door and shattered it along with the door.

I rubbed my eyes and sat up, only to see the bright yellow staggering over as a strong, pungent drink followed.

He stood unsteadily beside the couch, looking at me quietly with half-lowered eyes, his eyes full of cold killing and indignation.

I was awakened in a dream and still had some confusion in my mind, although I didn't know why the most noble person in the world appeared in front of me, but looking at the cold face, I knew that the situation was not good, and I forced myself to shrink all the way to the corner of the bed.

I don't know how long it took, he opened his mouth gloomily, "Today Azit came to me, he said that you are very bitter here, you are cold and thin, less carbon and lack of firewood, he wants me to make a decree, give you the title of a crown prince and concubine, so that you can live more comfortably before you get married, I didn't answer him, only said to consider it, Zhen Zhen, do you say I want to write this holy decree?" ”

Since the Ye Mansion raided the house, he has been hovering among the head of the Ye family of the sin slave Ye family, and for the first time in many years, he called me Zhen Zhen, and for a while I was in a trance, and I didn't wake up until there was a shock and pain in my palm.

Since ancient times, the emperor has been suspicious, and Azit didn't know the reason for him rashly pleading for me, which seemed to him to wonder if there was any collusion between the Ye family and the vassal state, and the emperor's heart was unfathomable.

I shrunk in the corner of the bed wrapped in the quilt, missed his obscure gaze, and replied lightly, "His Royal Highness Prince Azit only cares about the criminal slave, if he knows the antecedents, he is afraid that he will not be willing to be involved with the criminal slave, the emperor can find an excuse to refuse, and there is no need to pay attention to it." ”

I only heard him say coldly, "Azit also found the imperial doctor and grabbed some medicine for women's nourishment." ”

I sighed and said, "I heard that the women of the feudal kingdom are all strong and brave, and in the eyes of Azit, the sin slave is indeed weak, and if he goes around Kyoto, he will understand the national style of the kingdom of death!" ”

He swayed a few steps forward, his eyebrows gloomy like a precursor to a storm, only to hear him grit his teeth and say, "There is a palace slave who saw you and Azit in the plum garden shoulder to shoulder, full of affection and sweetness, and want to enjoy the clouds and rain." Azit stayed in the Qiuling Pavilion for a long time before leaving, and the palace maid who guided him saw him straighten his clothes and walk differently when he left the side hall. ”

My heart sank suddenly, and my face was cold at the moment, saying this was insulting me for not being honest, and the grievances born in my heart instantly turned into anger, and for a while I didn't care that he was the emperor who controlled the whole of life and death, and stabbed him impatiently, "If the emperor suspects that there is a problem between the Ye family and the vassal state, just let people check it, if you suspect that there is a problem between the criminal slave and Azit, ask an imperial doctor to check the pulse." Besides, if the emperor gives Azit a marriage, then the sin slave and Azit are a legitimate husband and wife, and the gift of Zhou Gong is done at this moment, and it is harmless. The emperor has a lot of opportunities, why be sad about this little thing, or ask Dali Temple or the imperial doctor to investigate! ”

The cold wind was howling outside the window, and he walked with a gloomy face, and suddenly stepped forward without precaution, and the futon was thrown aside with a "hiss", and the dark yellow cotton wool swirled in the air like snow on a candle.

In my panicked gaze, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, and he said coldly word by word, "The imperial doctor is busy, I'll check it out in person!" ”

Outside the window, the silver snow flew down like a flocculent, Qiu Lingxuan's perennially closed rusty gate was opened for the first time, and the snow that should have been smooth and traceless was pulled out by the door edge of two deep concave traces, two bright orioles fell in the concave snow marks and jumped around looking for food, and suddenly there was a weak sobbing sound in the small courtyard, and the frightened foraging orioles fluttered their wings and rushed out of Qiu Lingxuan.

That night, the candles in the side hall of Qiu Lingxuan were scorching, the figures were abundant, the indoor spring light was infinite, and the tactful and delicate moaning sound loomed in the cold and dashing night.

The snow was falling, and the footsteps in the courtyard that were deep and shallow and somewhat messy were quickly covered up without a trace.

Outside the gate of Qiu Lingxuan, a blue-clothed eunuch stood in the snow nest like a stone carving, like waiting for someone, like a sentry, letting the snow soak his robe, stunned and motionless. It wasn't until the rooster was in the courtyard that there was a "creaking" sound of stepping on the snow in the courtyard, and the eunuch woke up like a dream and shook off the dust to greet him.

"Miss, the old lady in the imperial dining room sent some small peach cakes, saying that she specially invited the master of the old shop in the south of the city to come into the palace to make them, can you taste them?"

"Miss, this is white mushroom and pheasant soup, the slave maid stewed it for you by himself, the raw material is the colorful wild pheasant caught from the snow last time, the meat is tender, and there are white mushrooms and gentleman mushrooms in it, the soup is thick and fresh, the little Yanzi who swept the snow just smelled the gluttony and was drooling next to the door, you will reward the slave and maid with a face, taste it?"

"Miss, this is the mutton skewer made by the chef of the Western Regions of Tianxianglou, which was secretly brought in by the father-in-law who went out of the palace to buy dry goods, the food outside the palace is different from that in the palace, can you taste it?"

"Miss, this is the most famous sake lees fish in Poyang Lake, this is the first of the three fresh fish in Poyang County, it is rumored that the fish is fresh and tender, and it melts in the mouth, it is Xiao Yanzi's fellow villagers who came back to visit relatives in the province a little bit, and it is very ........... to eat at this time Miss........ You haven't eaten for three days, and if you continue like this, your body will collapse....... Miss ........"

In the courtyard where I sit, I let the snowflakes fall on my body, except for the sound of falling snow in my ears, the sharp sound of the cold wind passing through the trees, the green branch squatted in front of me and sobbed quietly, and I didn't say a word, I sat in a wheelchair in a daze with my eyes closed and half on my back, and the cold fell on my face, this feeling was both clear and trance, like a dream, like a phantom.

This kind of dream-like feeling is not only the first day, I don't know when I feel like I have been hit hard in my head, sometimes awake and sometimes confused, sometimes I feel that the surroundings are very real, my own is indeed awake, but I reached out and pinched myself, but found that I felt no sense under my fingers, and secretly sighed that I was in a dream.

Sometimes I feel that everything in front of me is like a fog and a dream, and in a trance, my body seems to be as light as a detachment from my body, but when I stretch out my hand, I touch a cold air in addition to the cold wheelchair. If the green branch is there, I can also see her panicked expression, sometimes I think that look is inexplicable, sometimes I think it is funny, and my face will be wet when I laugh and laugh.

I couldn't tell if it was tears or snow falling on my face.

"Miss....... What's wrong with you..... Miss ......."

That day in the Yimei Garden, she went to the Internal Affairs Office to find the palace people to help, the next day after the Miss became very strange, to blame her, that day she went to the palace people to help take the wheelchair out of the stone crack, the wheelchair was damaged, she had to push the wheelchair to find the carpenter to repair, until it was dark The wheelchair was repaired, and the father-in-law of the Internal Affairs Office looked for her again, but after saying something she didn't understand for a long time, she originally wanted to ask to go back to take care of the young lady, and was afraid that after offending the father-in-law, Qiu Lingxuan would be short of firewood and less carbon, so she had to endure it.

The father-in-law in charge explained the more than 900 palace rules one by one from beginning to end, and showed her the palace rules book, and asked her to read a palace rule carefully five times, and did not let her go back until dawn.

The gate opened, and there were a few more deep and shallow footprints in the courtyard. Outside the side hall, there was a little eunuch with a raw face, and the little eunuch greeted her with a smile, saying that his name was Xiao Yanzi, and he was a palace slave sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be a rough envoy in Qiu Ling Xuan.

There are also two palace maids in the room with delicate eyebrows and eyes, some familiar ones, those palace maids are dressing and tying for the young lady, drawing eyebrows and putting on makeup, and their own young lady is dull as if she has been given an omen, sitting there stupidly, at the mercy of others.

After the palace maid pulled the young lady's hair, she brought a bowl of steaming decoction, and she didn't have time to stop it before she saw the young lady take it and raise her head and drink it, after the palace maid left, the young lady sat there in a daze, without saying a word, her expression was very calm and cold, but her heart sank, and she had a cold war.

This shocking look is not the first time she has seen it, it was like this before the first young master got married, and he stayed in the study for several days, without saying a word, and his expression was calm, like .............. The living dead in general.

Once she accidentally found that there were traces of red and purple swelling on the young lady's neck, and a trace of panic exploded in her heart, and her bold guess was instantly denied, if the conjecture became the truth, the young lady she ....................

"Miss.................."

"Sin Slave Ye Clan!"

A blue-clothed and blue-shirted eunuch walked in with a whisk of dust and snow, and said in a sharp voice, "Sin slave Ye, take the order!" ”

He was followed by a few palace maids, the palace maids were carrying food boxes of different sizes in their hands, and the green branches secretly glanced at them, and those palace maids were embroidered with spring flowers on the placket of their clothes, which were the palace maids in front of the palace.

The eunuch shouted again, but I still didn't pay attention to it, sitting in a wheelchair with my eyes closed and half on my back, my heart was like a thousand pounds of boulder, not to mention saluting, I was weak and weak when I moved

However, in the eyes of everyone, I took what he said as a deaf ear, ignoring him, and also ignoring the emperor. Green Branch knelt down quickly and asked the blue-clothed eunuch for guilt, only to see the eunuch shake off the dust, and there was no look of accountability on his face, just listening to his word by word, Yin and Yang said in frustration.

"The emperor has an order to give the guilty slave Ye a table of imperial meals, if he refuses to eat, or he can't finish eating, he will punish Ye's old house for three days of food interruption, and Ye's sister-in-law will be weaned for one day, and he will be admirable."

I half-tilted my back and let the snowflakes fall on my face, and the snowflakes turned into ice water and flowed down my face into the collar, and the chill at my neck cleared my dizzy mind.

I still closed my eyes and looked up, feeling the coldness of the snowflakes in the sky, the sound of the cold wind blowing the drum robe up and down in my ears, and the rotten wooden door behind me made a "creaking" piercing collision sound, I swallowed a trace of bitterness, brushed away the snow water on my face, pulled out a numb and stiff smile, the cold forehead was deeply knocked on my hand, and said softly, "Sin slave Ye, thank you." ”

Since then, I have eaten three meals a day on time, and I have never refused to eat whatever is given to me by others. But the green branch did not get happy because of this, and still had a sad face, and stopped talking to me.

And I became more and more sleepy and weak day by day, and I was sleepy and tired at every turn. The body is getting lazy every day, and I always like to stay in one place and watch the snow quietly, and I stay all day.

Green Branches are afraid that I will be bored, sometimes they will say some interesting things about the palace season, I listen quietly, because it is too quiet, Green Branches always think that I will fall asleep, from time to time turn their eyes to peek at me.

One day, just after lunch, Midori found a time to chat with me, saying that the prince of the vassal kingdom Azit had suddenly been escorted back to China a few days ago, and it was cold and snowy outside, and even the official road was extremely difficult to walk. In order to make friends between the two countries, the emperor personally opened the mouth, and left him at the post station for a few more days, and then set off to return to China when the snow stopped.

Less than ten days after these words were spoken, Prince Azit was sent out of the border in the heavy snow, and the green branch sighed, "The slave maid has not been in the palace for a short time, and he thinks that he has one or two points of the ability to see people, and the prince of Azit is righteous and kind, and he has not been a prince for half a point, I hope that God can stop the snow for a while, so that he will not suffer from the snow abuse and the wind and gluttony." ”

After all, the wish of the green branch did not come true, and the snow continued to fall for more than ten days without stopping. And I became more and more sleepy, and when I woke up and saw the snow shadows falling outside the window, I was distraught and didn't want to go out.

Qiu Lingxuan

Outside the window, the snow in the courtyard gradually annihilated half of the palace wall, the courtyard from time to time came the sound of the cold wind whistling, the half of the wooden door of the main hall was also moved to the side hall, the night is stronger than the daytime wind, every time into the night courtyard is always like breaking into the beast, the loud noise of rushing east and west almost lifted the roof, the green branch saw that the wooden door was bent into an arc by the wind, simply took the half-sliding door of the main hall, and arrived at the door at night.

I had nothing to do to sort out the hairpin-making tools in the box, and suddenly there was a "creaking" sound of snow stepping outside the door, and the door suddenly went dark and was obviously blocked by people.

Green Branch came in with a smile on the face of an oiled paper package, saying that Xiao Yanzi had a good fellow countryman, and took the opportunity to go out of the palace to buy some snacks outside the palace and came back, and Xiao Yanzi specially brought the snacks to share with him.

Green Branch was stunned for a moment after opening the oil paper package, and his smiling eyes gradually moistened. With a smile, she handed me the oiled paper package with the red string tied with it, and said, "Miss, how about it taste?" ”

The oiled paper package is filled with rice dumplings.

My eyes suddenly became hot, picked up a rice flower dumpling, and chuckled to himself, "This is still the rice flower dumplings of the old Wang's family, Yu Yi loves to eat, every time he goes out, he will bring a big bag to eat slowly on the road, he once wanted to buy the old Wang's signboard, but unfortunately the signboard is an ancestral heirloom, and it is not sold for much money." ”

Seeing that it was rare for me to speak, the corners of his eyes curled, and he said with a smile, "Yes! Later, Young Master Yu also wanted to worship Lao Wang as a teacher and learn to make rice flower dumplings, and was trained by Yu's father-in-law. ”

I nodded and smiled, "Yes, he hasn't suffered a heavy word from his father-in-law since he was a child, and the injury was really deeper, and he stayed in Yefu for several days and didn't return home, but his father-in-law personally came to pick him up and went home." ”

"The slave maid still remembers that once there was a banquet in Yefu, when the young master Yu went to the banquet, he specially bought the small peach cake that the young lady loved to eat from the south of the city, and met a little girl who was being trained, in order to comfort the little girl who missed the time of the banquet, you had secretly left the banquet when you went, and he had to happily hold a large bag of small peach cakes and go back home dejectedly."

"Later, he told me, and blamed me for not waiting for him to leave by himself, so he sat alone at the banquet, obviously no one knew anyone around, but he had to change the cup with others, smiling, and his face was stiff when he went back."

"No, every time Father-in-law Yu brings him some interesting gadgets when he goes home, his first thought is to take something to him*."

I looked down at the round rice ball in my hand and smiled faintly, "Yu Yi is very good to me, but I am sorry for him." He knows all my likes and likes, but I don't know so much about him. ”

Green Branch smiled, "Young Master Yu is not a person who asks for anything in return, he doesn't ask for anything for you, he just sincerely wants to be good to you, wants to make you happy, as long as you are happy, he will be happy." ”

I sighed slightly and said, "I've always known about this, but now it's ....... It's a little deeper. ”

I asked Lu Zhi to take a gold hairpin and a jade bracelet from the box, which were used as a thank you gift for the rice flower dumplings, and asked her to take these things to Xiao Yanzi, and let Xiao Yanzi choose one for herself and leave the rest to be transferred to the good fellow countryman.

I only ate one of the rice dumplings and was reluctant to eat them again, anyway, it didn't break in the cold winter wax moon, so I let the green branches be wrapped up again and locked in the box.

Seeing that I was in a good mood, the green branch pushed me to go to the courtyard to see the snow, "We have moved a new plum tree in the courtyard, it is not an ordinary plum tree, it is a unique green plum tree on the Qizi Cliff, it only blooms once in ten years, the flowers are as petite as spring grass, the goose feather like the snow is wrapped in the green plum, it looks crystal clear from afar, and it looks exquisite and lovely up close. If this is not a rare object, then there is really nothing rare in the world. There are only a few plants in the palace, one of which is still in our Qiuling Xuan, maybe the gardener of the Internal Affairs Office sent it to the wrong place, so that we can get the blessing of the eyes, anyway, they sent it from themselves and don't look at it, don't see it and move it away, that's a real pity! ”

As soon as the green branch spoke, I smelled a faint fragrance of flowers, the fragrance of flowers was refreshing, refreshing, and the whole person smelled a lot more refreshing, perhaps because I had not gone out for too long, and at this moment I was very greedy for this indifferent and cool fragrance of flowers.

The green branch pushed me to a corner where I could see the plum trees without the wind, and I ran to find the jar in a hurry, saying that I wanted to save some snow water from the plum blossoms and turn back to make tea and drink.

It wasn't long before there was a "creaking" sound of footsteps behind me, the sound was very soft and slow, and it seemed that every step was an extremely difficult thing, and I realized that something was wrong and turned the wheelchair around.

In the heavy snow, a blue-clothed eunuch came faintly stepping on the snow, the wind behind him was cold, the blade snow was flying, and a slightly old robe rolled up and down in the devastation of the wind and snow, and he, ignoring the snow haze and wind barrier beside him, walked indifferently step by step.

In my shocked look, he pinched his handkerchief and cocked his orchid fingers, and smiled, "Little Zhenzhen, long time no see!" ”
