Xue Wan and Pei Lin nested together in the recliner with a quilt on their bodies. The recliner was not very spacious, and half of her body was stacked with him, but the two of them had even slept in a quilt, and Xue Wu did not feel embarrassed, but was very relieved.

Pei Lin wrapped the person in the crook of his arm, "Sister-in-law, sleep, I'll come to see the incense." ”

Xue Wu was about to say this to him, but she couldn't help but smile when she heard the words, and there was sweetness in her smile that she didn't even realize, "I'm not sleepy." ”

Pei Lin lowered her head slightly, and her lips brushed over the top of her hair: "I'm not sleepy." "To be able to snuggle up with her so intimately, how can he be willing to sleep?

Xue Wu turned over and lay on top of him, covering his eyes domineeringly, "No, you're sleepy, go to sleep." ”

The corners of Pei Lian's lips couldn't help but hook, and he closed his eyes obediently, "Well, I'll sleep." ”

Rewind time by a few hours.

Imperial capital, imperial palace.

The Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is being held in the Mingguang Hall, and the hall is brightly lit, singing and dancing, and the atmosphere is harmonious.

Everyone had a smile on their faces.

In the middle of the banquet, in the night outside the hall, bright fireworks suddenly exploded, and everyone was immediately attracted to the sky.

The emperor and the queen mother came to the outside of the hall surrounded by everyone, standing on the high steps and enjoying the fireworks scene.

At this moment, someone exclaimed: "It's water!" ”

Everyone followed the man's line of sight and saw a certain place in the harem bursting into the sky.

"There, it seems to be Fenghuan Palace?" One of the concubines whispered.

The emperor's face changed slightly, and he immediately ordered: "Ram, quickly take people to put out the fire!" ”

"Yes!"

This accident happened, and the banquet obviously couldn't go on.

The emperor returned to the dormitory, took a book and leaned on the couch and looked at it, but he couldn't read a word for a long time.

I don't know how long later, the candle on the candlestick suddenly beeped, and the attendant quietly walked over and plucked the wick with an iron skewer to make the candle flame brighter and more stable.

The Emperor asked, "What time is it?" ”

The chamberlain replied: "It's time, Your Majesty." ”

After a while, Ram Xun returned.

The emperor sat up: "What's the matter?" ”

Ram Xun took a few steps closer and bowed down to reply: "Your Majesty, the fire in Fenghuan Palace is too big, and when the fire is extinguished, the Huo family and several palace people have already ...... It was burned to charcoal. ”

After Ram Xun finished speaking, he stood in place with bated breath, and the entire hall fell into a palpitating silence.

After a long time, he heard the emperor at the top speak: "In this case, let's drag it down and bury it." ”

Ram Xun took the order, and when he walked to the door, he couldn't help but glance back, but he saw the emperor covering his eyes with his hands, and he didn't know whether he was dazzled by the bright fire in the hall or tired.

The concubine who lived in Yaochi Palace also heard the news.

At that moment, she couldn't help but smile, and her heart was indescribably happy.

Huo's slut is finally dead! No one will be able to press on top of her head again, hahahaha......

"The beautiful scenery of a good day is a day, whose courtyard is ...... to enjoy it" The concubine turned around in the middle of the house for half a circle, singing a play, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of joy that could not be hidden.

However, what everyone didn't know was that it was not the Huo family and Ah Yan who would never abandon her who were burned to death in the fire in Fenghuan Palace, but several death row prisoners with similar body characteristics.

The Huo family had already been smuggled out of the palace.

As soon as the city gate opened the next day, the Huo family and the others mixed into a caravan with the people they rescued, left the imperial capital openly, and headed for Fengchi County, which was hundreds of miles away.

Shanghe Village.

On the first day of the new year, the villagers all woke up very early, and when it was still dark, smoke was rising from the chimneys of many homes.

On the Xue family's side, Xue's mother also got up early, she didn't light the lamp, she put on her clothes by the faint light from the window, and did not alarm the little daughter who was sleeping on the inside of the bed.

walked out of the door and came to the hall, and saw her daughter "son-in-law" snuggling together with her eyes closed on the chaise longue, she stepped forward and gently pushed Xue Wu: "Sister-in-law, let's squint in the house with Akang for a while, my mother came to see the incense." ”

Xue Wu was indeed drowsy, because she had to change a stick of incense every once in a while, and if she cultivated, she had to interrupt it from time to time, so she simply didn't cultivate, but relied on Pei Lin to close her eyes and browse the books in the Zhihai Library.

Who would have thought that he would fall asleep later.

She was shocked, subconsciously looked at the incense burner, and found that the incense in the incense burner was only half burned, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she thought that she had missed the incense when she fell asleep.

In fact, she did miss it, this incense was ordered by Pei Lian.

Xue Wan: "Okay. ”

She poked Pei Lin in the face, and Pei Lin grabbed her hand, pretending to wake up, and looked at her suspiciously.

"Get up, let's go inside and make up for sleep."

Xue Wu couldn't sleep when she really lay down, but she didn't think about it very much, isn't it uncomfortable to nest in the quilt?

There is also a human-shaped warm baby next to her to stick to.

However, she didn't last long, because someone from the village had already come to pay New Year's greetings.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, every household in the village will greet each other.

Xue Wu patted Pei Lian, motioned for him to let go of herself, got up and took out the beautiful new clothes that Xue's mother had made for her from the cabinet and put them on.

The four "children" in the family are not left behind, and they all have new clothes to wear.

In modern times, the smell of the New Year has become very light, and Xue Wu is not looking forward to wearing new clothes as she was when she was a child, but in this era, the flavor of the New Year is very strong, and various New Year's Festival activities make her feel full of rituals, and the excitement and anticipation for the New Year when she was a child has returned.

After putting on her new clothes, she spun around in front of the mirror.

Pei Lin also changed into new clothes, an indigo brocade robe embroidered with dark bamboo patterns, worn on him, it looked extraordinarily structured, long and jade, so handsome that people wanted to pounce immediately.

Looking at him like this, Xue Wu's drama addiction was committed again, and she walked over with her chin raised and arrogant face, "What's your name?" This girl has taken a fancy to you, come home with me and be my husband, otherwise, you will suffer. ”

Pei Lin blinked, and showed a weak appearance of being bullied very cooperatively, "You, don't come here, I have a lady, I only love my lady, and I won't be your husband." ”

"Oh? Is it? Xue Wu smiled badly, approaching him step by step, Pei Lin retreated step by step, and finally retreated to the edge of the bed and sat down.

Xue Wu stepped forward, supported his shoulder with one hand, and picked up his chin with the other, with a vicious tone of the eldest lady: "I don't care whose husband you are, in short, Miss Ben has taken a fancy to you, and you are mine." ”

She leaned down and took a sip on his chin, "Miss Ben has stamped on you, and you are not allowed to hook up with other women in the future, do you hear?" Or I'll break your legs. ”

Pei Lin was so numb by her kiss that she could only lie there and let her do whatever she wanted.

"Okay, I'll be yours from now on, and I'll never hook up with other women."
