The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky was getting darker and colder.

However, there was a row of guards patrolling on the palace road, and when they saw that this temple was barren but there was any movement here, they sent a guard into the interior to investigate, and he walked in step by step with a knife, "Who is it?" What is it? ”

This frightened the two inside, Wang Jingshu held the last trace of calm, reported her name, and took a bit of momentum with a calm face, "This princess and the side concubine are trapped here because of the snow. Who are you? ”

If there is no speciality, the princess and others will not be able to see foreign men, and neither will the guards.

The people outside immediately knew that it was Princess Ning and the side concubines inside, "The lowly position is the guard who patrols." Respectfully invite the princess Jin An, the side concubine An. ”

Wang Jingshu finally decided to pass the sedan chair for the side concubine, the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, I don't know when to stop, Tang Pozi had already cooled down, and it was not good to stay in this barren palace again, "I bother you to go to the Shanggong Bureau to ask for a sedan chair, and the side concubine will take the sedan chair back." I told the Shanggong Bureau that if I felt that it was unruly, I would personally go to the queen to give a detailed gift. ”

"Yes."

As soon as the guards left, Chen Eryan was grateful. But Qingyi on the side was anxious, "Master, then do you want to pass the sedan chair too?" ”

The decisiveness on Wang Jingshu's face, "I'll go back later." ”

Chen Eryan also felt strange, "Why doesn't the princess go with her?" ”

Wang Jingshu didn't want to go back, but in this case, she had to go one after the other, "The Shang Palace Bureau must not have prepared a sedan chair of the side concubine grade for a while, so they will definitely let the palace people carry my sedan chair." I have to go back first, and then ask the palace people to pick me up again. ”

She treats each other with sincerity, and what she gets must be sincere. "Thank you, Princess."

Sure enough, Wang Jingshu guessed that the Shang Palace Bureau did not have an idle sedan chair that was in line with the grade of the prince's concubine for the time being, so he simply weighed the pros and cons and let the palace people carry the princess's sedan chair.

Chen Eryan left first in a princess-grade sedan chair. Wang Jingshu and Qingyi were left alone, still shivering in the barren palace.

The guard stood at the door of the temple. Qingyi noticed him, "Hey, why are you still here?" ”

"I have to stay here and wait for the princess to leave, lest the princess be trapped here again."

Qingyi looked at his dumbfounded answer, and suddenly became interested, "Why are your guards patrolling here?" ”

"Because the road is slippery in winter, the palace master doesn't come out much, and it will snow heavily, so I came out to inspect it early, so as not to get the snow bigger and can't get out."

"What's your name?"

"Humble Xu Lexian."

Lexian ...... Such a familiar name.

Xu Lexian!

Wang Jingshu was stunned, Qingyi looked at her worriedly, and both of them guessed that the guard was the son of the Xu family who had gotten along with before. She lived in the Wang Mansion in the north when she was a child, and she met the son of the Xu family at that time, and she remembered that it was called this name.

How could he enter the palace as a guard?

Xu Lexian just knew that it was an old acquaintance, he was in office near the cold palace, and he couldn't see Princess Ning in the prince's office. Unexpectedly, she avoided the snow, he patrolled, and the two met again.

And this time, he said the name.

As for whether she wants to admit it or not, it depends on her.

As for Wang Jingshu, she doesn't dare to admit it, some fashion works don't know, maybe they will live well. What's more, what if you admit it? If it is calculated by someone with a heart, it is not good.

Xu Lexian couldn't wait for a word for a long time, and he already knew it. The princess is the princess, he is him, it doesn't matter, he has never known the princess. Even though he didn't know why, he chose to respect.

Qingyi seemed to understand what Wang Jingshu meant, and asked out loud in her mouth, "Guard Xu, won't you enter the palace soon?" Where do you work? ”

Xu Lexian became more and more respectful, "Not long after entering the palace, he was arranged to take up a post near the cold palace. ”

"What about the one in office?"

Xu Lexian couldn't help but instruct, "Everything else is fine, but there are always wild cats in that place." When the princess goes to that vicinity, she should be extra careful, especially after dark. After saying that, she felt a little remorseful, I wonder if these words will cause her trouble?

If someone really wants to investigate, his relationship with her is not impossible to find.

Wang Jingshu was stunned at first, but then returned to normal. The guards I met that night said that it was a frequent occurrence of wild cats near the Cold Palace. Now I think it should be him. He recognized her that day?

And although Qingyi didn't see the events of that night, he also heard Aoyagi mention it. In this way, Qingyi also knows it.

Although Wang Jingshu and Xu Lexian were only affectionate when they were young, they have long been unable to do so after so many years, but if they are mentioned, they may cause trouble.

She married into the imperial city and became a princess, but this position is not easy to sit, she walks on thin ice all day long, and she has a mess of things, how can she involve him?

But she still remembers the past. Who didn't have playmates when they were young, and who didn't have a joke with their elders? She remembered that she had a good time with him, and that when her grandmother was still there, she joked that she and he were going to marry when they grew up.

- You two played so well, grandmother should remember. When you grow up, you have to remind the Xu family to come to the dowry and ask to marry my most outstanding granddaughter.

- When Shu'er grows up, you must find a good son who loves you and protects you, like Brother Lexian, okay?

——The Xu family is compatible with our Wang family, these two younger ones are also compatible when they grow up.

Now that she is married to the prince, he is older than her, I wonder if there is any family arrangement? I don't think so, it is worth being rich and noble when you enter the palace alone.

Wang Jingshu should be happy to meet an old man in the imperial city, but he is such an old man, sometimes it is better not to see it, "The snow outside is really big." ”

"It's like that year." Xu Lexian regretted this sentence and wanted to bite off his tongue.

That year? Yes, there was one year when the snow was unusually heavy.

It was when Wang Jingshu was young, and it is still beautiful in retrospect.

Wang Jingshu looked at the snow falling like catkins, "The snow scene in the imperial city is not ordinary, I like it very much." ”

Xu Lexian muttered, "I don't know, do you like the snow scene, or the imperial city?" ”

"Xu Guards are really good at joking," Qingyi reminded him seemingly unintentionally, but with a heart, "My master has said that it is a snow scene in the imperial city." Naturally, I love the imperial city and the snow. ”

The three words of love for the Imperial City were bitten very hard by her. deliberately reminded Xu Lexian, and also struck Wang Jingshu's heart like a bell, she took a step back as if she didn't have anything, there should be distance and proportion.

Xu Lexian stopped talking, only admired the snow outside, and didn't turn his head to look at it from beginning to end, he didn't dare and couldn't. But now he finally understands that the sentence written in the Tang poems he learned when he was a teenager: As soon as Houmen entered the deep sea, Xiao Lang was a passerby from then on. Before he could figure out that the friendship of his youth was still there, he had no chance, and he lost the opportunity to speak for the rest of his life.

And Wang Jingshu didn't speak again, as if it was out of place to say anything, so she simply didn't say it.

About half an hour, the sedan chair not far away gradually appeared in her sight, slowly stopped, she took Qingyi's hand, and got on the sedan chair without saying a word. Instead, Xu Lexian said: "Congratulations to Princess Ning." ”

Wang Jingshu sat in the sedan chair, could feel her heart pounding, and instructed the sedan chair man outward: "Go back to the prince's office." ”

There was a hot soup woman in the sedan chair, and the side concubine was considerate.

She took the soup woman, warmed it in her hand, and the chill gradually dissipated. As the sedan chair gradually moved away, she couldn't help but open the curtain and look back, but she was no longer visible, only a white expanse remained.

"Master......"

Qingyi saw the loneliness in her eyes, and felt a little uncomfortable, she knew that her voice was very inappropriate. Wang Jingshu smiled faintly, "This snow is very beautiful." ”

Immediately, she shrank into the sedan chair and never lifted the sedan curtain.

When I arrived at the prince's office, the sedan chair slowly descended, Wang Jingshu got off the sedan chair, the sky gradually darkened, the snow had not stopped, Lin Nushi was already waiting at the gate of the courtyard, looking a little anxious, "Master, as soon as the prince heard that the concubine was going to move to a remote courtyard, he became angry and became angry in the Zhaoxun Academy." ”

Wang Jingshu had a headache, "What about the side concubine?" ”

"The wound on the side concubine's knee was seen by the prince, and she was ordered to recuperate. What's more, she was just frozen, and the prince didn't ask her to go out, so she didn't intercede. ”

"Is the prince angry?"

Lin Nushi did not speak.

Wang Jingshu went to Zhaoxun Institute non-stop, and the queen's affairs stopped, she didn't want to see Zhaoxun, but there was no way, and the concubine didn't come forward, so she had to persuade one or two.

As soon as I arrived at the Zhaoxun Academy, I could hear Zhaoxun's faint and forbearant crying. Wang Jingshu is really irritable, can't she have a good pregnancy? She likes to make trouble, and she learns to sue like a ritual.

"Lord, the princess is here—"

Zhu Pei glanced at the Zhao family, a fire was blazing, it was rare that he didn't get angry with the princess, "Tell her to go back, this king heard from the side concubine, she was also very cold." ”

It's all here, how can Wang Jingshu go back?

Instead, it was a meteor striding into the house. "Say hello to the prince."

"No."

It's rare to give a good face. Wang Jingshu glanced at Zhao Xun who was sitting there, there was no etiquette at all, she pressed the unhappiness in her heart, and her face was full of smiles, "The concubine heard from the palace people that Zhao Xun angered the prince." ”

"She is pregnant, and she thinks a lot during pregnancy, why should the prince bother with her, she should be sympathetic."

"The matter of the side concubine going to live in that small courtyard is her own will, and besides, she has already said it in front of her mother, so she has to do it."

Zhu Pei snorted coldly and looked at Zhao Wannian, his eyebrows were more gloomy, but he didn't say anything serious, "What the princess said is very true." You are pregnant, run out less, and have a good baby. ”

Zhao Wannian said yes.

"Princess, you persuade her. Don't look for trouble, don't you have to make a few fuss in a comfortable day to be quiet? ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Pei left, and he didn't have time to listen to Zhao Wannian crying.

As soon as the prince left, Zhao Wannian cried even more fiercely.

As a result, even Wang Jingshu lost her patience, and had to be comforted, "Sister Zhaoxun, don't cry, don't cry, what are you crying about?" Didn't the prince say anything? He took a handkerchief and wiped her tears.

"No need for the princess's kindness!" Zhao Wannian pushed her hand, "With me here, you don't want my child!" Don't think about it! Wang Jingshu was tired, and when she pushed her, she couldn't stand steadily for a while, and she broke her foot directly.

At the end of the day, she endured too much, from the East Palace in the morning, to now, the fire in her heart has become more and more vigorous, and she directly lost the handkerchief in her hand, "When do I want your child?" ”

She didn't know that the queen wanted to raise Zhao Zhaoxun's child under her name. Suddenly I felt inexplicable.

Zhao Wannian was even angrier than Wang Jingshu, and asked a series of questions.

"I don't need your pretenses, you're good to me, don't you just want my child?"

"Of course you can't give birth if you are not favored by the prince, I think you will be childless in your life."

"You are lonely, and I am not the cause of your suffering. What do you mean by going and begging the queen to let my children be raised in your name? ”

"Just because you are superior, you are a princess, are you qualified?"

"Before the child is born, you will rob it? How can there be such a truth in the world? ”
