Although Xiao Mingche was accustomed to a cold face, Li Fengming still vaguely sensed that he was unhappy.

She thought that this was caused by her "poor sleep, disturbing people's sleep", and she was cautious in her words and deeds when changing her dressing every day.

I was even more embarrassed to ask about the Wangfu Workshop immediately, and planned to wait for Xiao Mingche to get up and get angry this time.

For the next few days, there were only scattered grains of rice and snow, and by April 19, the snow had completely stopped.

But the wind was blowing.

Li Fengming took a nap for half an hour, and his whole body was simmered warmly, but as soon as he left the room, he was swept away by the wind tail covered in ice and snow.

It's cold like this, it's not suitable to go to Xiangxue Garden to see the Queen Mother.

Li Fengming had nothing to do for a while, so he asked people to cook hawthorn black plum tea and hid in the study.

Of course, Xiao Mingche, the guy who was "grounded by the Holy Decree", was also in the study.

Now the two have formed a tacit understanding of coexistence in the study.

Usually Xiao Mingche sits behind the desk, while Li Fengming sits on the couch by the window and sets a small square table.

Sometimes Li Fengming would ask him some things about the Qi Kingdom, and in addition, the well water would not interfere with the river water.

The two of them were used to being in the same room like this, so when Li Fengming went in, Xiao Mingche, who was reading a book, didn't even raise his eyelids.

Li Fengming sat cross-legged in front of Xiao Fangji, sipped fruit tea and moistened his throat, and began to look through the list of ladies in Yongjing City that Chun Yu Dai had ordered.

It was too cold outside, and it was too warm in the study, so she began to be lazy after sitting for a while, and she was always a little distracted.

So she put down the list for the time being, held the tea in her hand, and tilted her head to look at Xiao Mingche.

This man is really good-looking.

If you want to say what it is good to see, Li Fengming once secretly joked with Xin Wei: Aside from the side, Xiao Mingche's appearance is the kind of good-looking that "can refresh your mind when you have nothing to do, and look like you can have an extra bowl of rice when you eat".

It's a pity that she can also take a look.

I think Xiao Mingche noticed her gaze, and when he raised his head and moved his neck, he lifted his eyes and slapped her.

"I said, His Royal Highness King Huai, your breath is long enough to get up." Li Fengming coughed lightly twice, pretending to have nothing to do.

"I don't sleep well to disturb your dreams, and that was on the night of April 15th. After so many days, why is it still a sullen face that hasn't slept well? ”

Before the words fell, she couldn't help but cover her lips and yawn.

Xiao Mingche didn't answer her words, only glanced at her sleepy eyes: "I want to go back to the bedroom to sleep." ”

"What are these words? I didn't come in to sleep," Li Fengming shifted his sitting posture and faced him head-on, "Hey, seriously, I haven't crossed the line these nights, right?" ”

Xiao Mingche's eyes were gloomy and cold: "Hmm." ”

This made Li Fengming puzzled: "If I wasn't arguing with you, why can't you sleep well?" ”

Xiao Mingche lowered his eyes in silence, avoiding her gaze.

For several nights, he was like a great enemy, focusing on guarding against this woman, for fear that she would suddenly turn over and stick to her in the middle of the night. It's strange to sleep well.

Li Fengming was used to his coldness, but he didn't think it was wrong.

She lowered her head and took a sip of fruit tea, and was immediately squinted and wrinkled by the sour taste, and tears filled the corners of her eyes.

didn't wait for her to speak again for a long time, Xiao Mingche raised his eyes quietly, just in time to see her like this.

Somehow, he felt like he had been scratched twice by a cat's paw on his chest, and a secret tingling sensation rippled around his body.

Just when he was at a loss, Li Fengming spoke again.

"I guess you've been so busy these days that you can't sleep well. Why don't I try to replace the incense in the tent with a soothing one tonight? ”

She paused, then added, "Don't worry, you won't get your clothes dirty." It's the kind you used on the night of your wedding, do you remember the smell? ”

The wedding was half a year ago, and Xiao Mingche couldn't remember the smell she said.

He frowned vigilantly: "The smell of oranges? ”

"It's not an orange, it's a ......" Li Fengming was short of words for a while, and he didn't know how to describe the smell of incense in words.

After staying for a moment, she simply got down from her seat and walked to the desk with the fruit tea in her hand.

She held the cup in both hands and held it close to the end of his nose: "Well, it's a bit like this smell." Sour, but mixed with sweetness...... Xiao Mingche?! ”

It's no wonder that she was so surprised that she called her by her name, but Xiao Mingche's actions were too weird.

He actually took her hand and lowered his head to take a sip!

In private, Li Fengming had a small action when drinking water, and he was reminded by Chun Yudai many times that he couldn't change it-

She spun her cup in her palm as she spoke.

She had only drunk this cup before.

She didn't have fat powder today, and she didn't order lipstick, so people couldn't tell if the rim of the cup where Xiao Mingche's lips touched was ......

Li Fengming felt that the study seemed to heat up instantly, and it was even hotter than just now.

"I handed the cup just to you to smell it," she said, her face blank and her voice blank, "I didn't want to feed you." ”

"Oh," Xiao Mingche lowered his head slightly, "don't get so close to me." ”

God knows why he took a sip of it. He couldn't taste it.

*****

For that sip of tea, the two of them were embarrassed and embarrassed all afternoon, and barely spoke.

But Li Fengming did what he said, and still asked Chun Yudai to replace the incense in the tent with the kind that calmed the nerves.

At night, Xiao Mingche lay in the tent, closing and opening his eyes again and again, unable to tell whether he was irritable or ...... Something else.

Although he couldn't distinguish the five flavors in his mouth because of some encounters when he was a child, his sense of smell was still sensitive.

At this moment, there is a faint fruity fragrance lingering on the nose, like a cherry fruit hanging on the branches, sweet with a little sour, and also stained with morning dew and sweetness.

This smell is similar to the cup of hawthorn black plum tea in the afternoon study, but it is not very similar.

Xiao Mingche turned over slightly, facing outward and changing to a side-lying position.

But the smell of soothing incense floated everywhere in the tent, and he couldn't avoid it wherever he slept towards.

He stared at the curtain in the dark, and an inexplicable thought flashed in his mind: Perhaps, the smell of the cup of hawthorn black plum tea in the day was better than the fragrance in the tent.

As for what's good, he turned over several times and didn't figure it out.

"It's a bed, not a frying pan." Li Fengming, who was half-awake from the noise, muttered angrily.

Xiao Mingche was slightly startled and did not move again.

Li Fengming, who was behind him, was sleepy and hateful, and made up the warning inarticulately.

"Tossing and turning like a fried fish, believe it or not, I have a hundred ways to make you fall asleep? Hum. ”

After leaving this warning with unknown meaning, Li Fengming's breath gradually became stable and sweet again.

Xiao Mingche closed his eyes, but he couldn't sleep anymore.

Humph what? Who hasn't learned something before their wedding? Think you have a hundred ways to make people unable to sleep?

*****

Because this year is a leap April, on the second day of the next April, Xiao Mingche's grounding in the palace will end.

At present, the Empress Dowager is sometimes confused, and her body is better than in winter.

Since Xiao Mingche wants to return to the Huai Palace, Li Fengming's illness in the palace is naturally over.

Everyone thought that the old lady would be reluctant to let Li Fengming go.

Not only did the old lady not keep it, but she also happily teased people: "Go back to the house and have a good time, you don't have to run to me if you have nothing to do." ”

"Grandma, why do you still turn your face and don't recognize people?" Li Fengming teased her, "Didn't you often say that you liked to have me as a companion earlier?" ”

The Empress Dowager patted the back of her hand and said earnestly: "Now that your husband has returned to Beijing, you should take him first." The next time you come to see me, it's best to hold a big fat boy. ”

In Qi customs, a woman should put her husband first in everything after marriage, and no one cares what she wants to do or can do.

Moreover, if there is a pregnancy and childbirth, it must be a "big fat boy" to be a happy event.

If this kind of words are said to ordinary brides of the Qi Kingdom, most of them will be shy and confused, and regard it as a blessing for the elderly.

But Li Fengming was a little harsh when he heard it.

However, she didn't argue with a confused old lady about right and wrong, nor did she agree, she just smiled obediently.

*****

It has been nearly twilight since I returned to the Huaiwang Mansion.

Li Fengming left the house the day after the wedding and went to the Dicui Mountain Palace, and half a year has passed.

She didn't have time to get familiar with this mansion at the beginning, and when she came back after half a year, she was even more unfamiliar with everywhere.

On the way, she was still muttering to Chun Yudai and Xin Wei, and she didn't know how to ask Uncle Jiang, the housekeeper, to "live in a separate room with Xiao Mingche", so as not to make people look sideways.

Unbeknownst to her, Uncle Jiang had already prepared a separate courtyard for her, which was just east of Xiao Mingche's main courtyard, separated by a wall.

Chun Yudai inquired a few words from the maid in the mansion and came back to inform: "It is said that in the palaces of other princes in Yongjing City, the princess and the prince also live in the same courtyard. ”

Li Fengming suddenly realized, hehe smiled evilly: "yes." Like the crown prince and King Heng, there are many beautiful flowers in the house, and if you live with the princess, it is not convenient to get wet with rain and dew. ”

"This matter, Qi Wei is the same," Xin Wei said with a casual smile while combing Li Fengming's hair, "Our Great Wei Emperor and His Majesty the Empress will not live ......."

Li Fengming glanced back at her, and she hurriedly silenced.

"That's it, it's all here, just use a hairband to tie half of your hair at will," Li Fengming thought for a while, and then said, "You two go and ask Uncle Jiang, it's inconvenient to set up a separate small kitchen in this courtyard." If it's not convenient, you can borrow the big kitchen. ”

It's been half a year, and she still can't completely get rid of her inherent taste in her diet.

Chun Yudai and Xin Wei took the order and left, and Li Fengming walked around the courtyard at will.

After a while, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't told Xiao Mingche about the workshop.

So he called a maid to lead the way and hurried to the north courtyard where Xiao Mingche lived.

It's a pity that the timing is unlucky, the waiter in the north courtyard said that Xiao Mingche was talking to someone in the study, and Li Fengming was unwilling to return in vain, so he could only wait outside.

Fortunately, the weather has warmed up, and the peonies in the courtyard are waiting to bloom, so it is not boring to enjoy the flowers.

*****

When Xiao Mingche came out of the study, he was stunned when he raised his eyes.

Li Fengming was dressed in an apricot red Suluo skirt, and her long hair was only half tied with a hairband, draped behind her arbitrarily.

The golden sunset stars touched the hem of her clothes, and the warm breeze gently lifted the end of her long belt, making the whole person look bright, vivid and elegant.

At this time, most of the peonies in the courtyard will not bloom, she stands in front of the flowers, Huayan is extremely prosperous, and there are no flowers to compete with her.

Xiao Ming retracted his gaze and moved to block the study door.

Over there, Li Fengming saw him, so he walked slowly: "Excuse Your Highness." I'll just ask, is there a workshop for making medicine or gouache and grease under the name of Huaiwangfu? ”

There was no hostess in the Huaiwang Mansion in the past, how could there be a workshop for making gouache cream?

Xiao Mingche was stunned: "There is a small pharmaceutical workshop. ”

"That's fine. How many craftsmen are there? Li Fengming's eyes lit up.

Xiao Mingche staggered his eyes: "About twenty or thirty." You have to ask Uncle Jiang for details. He doesn't ask too much about the chores in the house.

Li Fengming nodded happily: "Can I borrow a workshop to make incense and gouache?" ”

What answered her was Xiao Mingche's eyes that seemed to be looking at a fool.

"You have the treasury key and my seal, you can take whatever you want."

Li Fengming then remembered that on the night of the wedding, Xiao Mingche gave her the key and seal, and he did say that "you can use whatever you want".

So Li Fengming's heart was full of joy, and his mouth overflowed with beauty: "I like a beautiful man like you!" ”

Xiao Mingche's heart rang, and his ears suddenly became hot: "Speak well." "Who are you teasing for?!

"Okay, okay, what do you say," Li Fengming smiled and said perfunctorily, "Then I won't delay your talk, and you can rest early when you're busy." ”

People gave her the key, the seal and the benefit of "you can take whatever you want" in exchange for her "don't touch him in the future".

She is very trustworthy, and now that she really wants to take this benefit, she should abide by the agreement, and how far away she is.

She turned and walked away, her steps much lighter than when she came.

*****

Xiao Mingche looked at her back, in a trance for a while, frowning and distracted.

After a long time, a leisurely comment came from the study behind him: "I haven't seen you for more than an hour, so I have to make a special trip to find an excuse to come and see you." Your subordinates feel that the princess should be very attentive to you. ”

Xiao Mingche looked back and looked coldly at the man in Tsing Yi in the study: "Zhan Kaiyang, when were you blind?" ”

Didn't you see Li Fengming leave happily as soon as he reached his goal? I didn't mention that I wanted to live in the same courtyard at all, and I was a ghost.
