In November, the weather was freezing and several major events occurred in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

First, Donggong, who has not had a woman for twenty-five years, finally chose a good family.

The second is that Lin Hongru and Yang Gong, who have never been officials, entered Beijing and worshiped the chief of the cabinet.

The third is that the holy car of Jiangnan recuperation returned to Beijing, and the half moon swayed leisurely, and at the head of December, he returned to Shengjing City.

Among them, the most eye-catching Donggong Liangjiazi Hua was sent to the East Palace as soon as he settled, and the people beat gongs and drums along the way, and the palace people looked forward to it, and they were really happier than their own daughter-in-law.

Cheng Yingyu happily got off the sedan chair in the city, the embroidered shoes fell on the red velvet carpet, and the burning earth dragon was steaming, it was almost the New Year, and it was as warm as summer.

"Yo, they all say that Jiangnan is good, but as soon as winter comes, Shengjing is the best." Cheng Yingyu took off her cotton fur, and the cold air accumulated on the return journey dispersed.

"That's why the holy car has to come back before the winter solstice. Let's Shengjing Dilong stove burns, race immortals. A palace maid poured tea and smiled.

Cheng Yingyu only wore a silk shirt, like a waterfall green silk with a goose yellow plum hairpin, the plum blossom was accumulated, she passed by the imperial garden and folded it, thinking that any gold and jade is beautiful.

"The good family likes plum blossoms, so the slave and maid will send people to pick more. Just go!!! The palace maid ordered, and immediately a dozen palace maids ran to the imperial garden.

Cheng Yingyan couldn't stop it: "Eh, don't bother...... Why don't you pass on some snacks first? ”

"Passing the Meal !!" As soon as the palace maid shouted, more than a dozen palace maids lined up in a long line holding food boxes with hot water.

"If the good family is tired, the palace maid who beats the legs has been prepared, and if you want to sleep for a while, the palace maid who serves you to freshen up is also waiting. Ah, and if you want to play the piano and write embroidery, all the objects are the best, you see, the three major tables under the winter window. ”

The palace maid introduced it very earnestly, and dozens of palace maids outside the hall were full of people, which was magnificent.

Cheng Yingyu always felt that he was being served as a bodhisattva. How idle is the East Palace? Feeling that all the palace maids had come to serve her, she moved her neck and feet, and all kinds of services rushed over.

It was Cheng Yingyu who sat and didn't dare to move, but the palace maids looked at her eagerly, as if they were too idle to ask for something to do, and the palace maids who picked plum blossoms also came back, and the plum blossoms transported back by car were in full swing and dressed up the interior into a grass house.

Not to mention her sentence of passing snacks, snacks and snacks, but there are three big cases arranged in front of her, which are full, almost compared to the full banquet of the Manchu Dynasty, for fear that she will not be able to hold her to death.

"What else does the good family command?" The palace ladies spoke in unison, and the momentum shook the sky, and the earth trembled.

"You ...... Relax, relax......" Cheng Ying shuddered with fright.

Even if she used to be the queen of mercy, she was also the horn of the stars and the moon in front of her, but she was not like today, she was being served, but she felt more like being watched, like a rare beast in a cage.

"This girl...... That, I'm just a good family, isn't this kind of battle a little too much? Zhao Shen...... Did the East Palace order it? Cheng Yingyu secretly turned her head to talk to the leading palace maid, with a bitter face.

The palace maid was stunned for a moment, then laughed and apologized, knelt down and pleaded: "I see! The good family is relieved, but it is not His Highness's order. It's just that the back house of the East Palace finally has a woman after so many years, and it was sealed by His Royal Highness himself. The palace people want to see the strange, so they dare to come and serve you, and look at the demeanor of the good family! ”

Cheng Ying couldn't cry or laugh.

She's really a rare beast.

Seeing Cheng Ying's frowning slightly, the palace maid understood: "If the good family character feels uncomfortable, the slave maid immediately asked them all to retreat, unless the good family promotes, don't come to disturb the good family." ”

"Very good, very good!" Cheng Ying seemed to have been amnestied, and seemed to think of something, and asked, "Zhao Shen...... Where is the East Palace now? ”

The palace maid covered her lips and smiled: "Your Highness is discussing government affairs with the adults, and when it is done, you will come to see the good family, according to the usual practice, it is estimated that it will be nightfall." ”

"Oh...... He was diligent. Cheng Ying puffed out her cheeks.

"Yes, Your Highness has always been diligent in government. If the son of a good family has something, he will pass on the slaves and maids, and the servants will wait under the porch and retire. The palace maid led the others to retreat, closed the door of the temple, and the surroundings quieted down.

Cheng Ying let out a long breath. There are fewer people, and even the air is much smoother.

She is in the dormitory of the East Palace, the striking is the colored gilt Jiao pattern, the incense of agarwood and bamboo inhaled at the tip of the nose is the smell of his shirt, the jade leak ticking is the unitary time, the early winter is dark, and the dusk sunlight soaks the bamboo shadow outside the window.

The snow hail beads hit the green screen window, and it sounded slightly, and her heartbeat was fast.

After entering Shengjing, she was sent to the East Palace. Rong Wei went back to Jixiangpu, she asked him to say hello to her mother-in-law and Xiao Zhan, but there was nothing else wrong, anyway, she was already a good family, and she had to be with Zhao Xixing after all.

She didn't feel anything of the magnificence in the East Palace, when she was the queen of Minde, she had seen anyone who burned money, so she didn't squint all the way and was not surprised, but she won an extraordinary reputation among the palace maids.

With a bang, the sun went down in the west, and it got dark.

Cheng Yingyu was idle alone, so he walked around the hall, curious if Zhao Xixing had any "private collections", and he didn't check the "private collections" during this visit, but saw a Buddha statue.

Jizo Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva who prays for the fulfillment of all wishes.

It stands to reason that this kind of market thing should not appear in the East Palace, Cheng Yinghu looked at it for a long time, and really didn't understand.

In this room, Cheng Yingyu was wandering around the East Palace, and in that room, Zhao Xi went down to discuss politics and hurried back under the guidance of Douxi's palace lamp.

"Your Highness, slow down! Ouch hey! This road is covered with a layer of snow, slippery! "Douxi almost followed Zhao Xixing, and it was useless to follow Yu Yuan who was too slow.

God knows why Donggong was so panicked, as if he was rushing to the dining table with a hungry person, not to mention his demeanor was left behind, and he fell on the road as expected, so he didn't care, he got up and continued to rush.

Finally arrived at the East Palace, Zhao Xixing stopped suddenly, and Douxi almost stumbled and hit his back.

"Your Highness?"

"The main hall let you hide it in advance...... What about things? ”

Zhao Xixing lowered his tone, for fear of being listened to by others, Douxi blinked, couldn't help but laugh, before Cheng Ying entered the palace, the East Palace asked him to hide the box book, picture or something, and hide it in another place.

Anyway, if you kill it, you can't let Cheng Yingyu find out.

"Back to Your Highness, under the closet of the Xinuan Pavilion, you can reach in and catch it." Douxi squeezed his eyebrows and paused again, "...... No, Your Highness, the good family is already waiting in the dormitory, you just have to go, and now you still see those ...... Delay time. ”

"You know what?" Zhao Xixing said coldly.

Yes, he learned this from the previous experience of Guozijian exams: before entering the examination room, he looked at the book again, even if most of them couldn't beat the questions, but just by looking at that glance, his confidence could increase several times.

"Waiting outside the palace!" Zhao Xixing dropped the sentence in a low voice, walked into the Xinuan Pavilion, fished out the box, picked out a few heavily outlined picture books, and hurriedly turned a few pages.

This flip turned the mind even more confused.

When he walked out of Xinuan Pavilion, there were only four words left in his mind: you are satisfied.

On the kind of picture book of the small house, the first page is these four words, including your satisfaction, dedicated to serving people, and it is also a good spirit of service.

Cheng Yingyu was bored waiting in the dormitory, and almost planned to go back to the auspicious shop to take a look, but at this moment, the door of the palace opened, and the figure in the robe walked in.

Zhao ...... Zhao Shenyan! Cheng Ying stood up from the embroidery pier with a sigh.

"Yes...... It's the main hall......" Zhao Xixing also stood at the door, not daring to approach.

Boom, Dou Xi closed the door of the palace, and he was heard roaring in his throat from a distance, feeling that it was deliberate, what told no one to enter tonight, what stove to prepare hot water, and the recently guarded Long Xiangwei blocked his ears and so on.

It doesn't matter if this roar, Cheng Yingyi and Zhao Xixing, who already felt "extremely embarrassed", both of them were dripping with cold sweat and hot sweat.

The dormitory was very quiet, and because of Douxi's instructions, it was still a little "too quiet".

The jade leak is ticking, the red candle is knotting, the screen window silhouette is flickering with bamboo shadows, the moonlight under the corridor is like water, and you can hear the beating of the two hearts, more and more panicked, more and more chaotic.

Zhao Xixing was cross-minded, feeling that he should speak first, so he said, "That...... Will the return trip go smoothly? Tired or not? ”

"No, not tired." As soon as Cheng Ying squeaked, he secretly scolded himself for answering too stupidly, if he was tired, what if he was tired, if he was not tired, what if he was not tired.

So she hurriedly found a sentence: "You...... What's going on with the knees? ”

Zhao Xixing looked down and touched his nose: "No, it's okay...... On the way here, I was in a hurry and fell. ”

also squeaked, Zhao Xixing also secretly scolded himself for answering too stupidly, urgently, urgently, it would be too embarrassing for a man to say it.

So he quickly ended the topic, spared the woman and sat down in front of the tea table, poured a cup of tea for himself, and poured it with his head up, and poured half a pot in a row.

Cheng Yingyu only dared to look down at the tips of his embroidered shoes, and his heartbeat was already abnormally fast: "That...... It's too late, I, I'd better go back to Jixiangpu...... lest the mother-in-law worry about ......"

It's okay not to say this, but as soon as he said it, Zhao Xixing put down the teapot with a bang, and his face was a little strange: "Go back?" ”

Cheng Ying licked her dry lips, for some reason she also felt thirsty, so she hurriedly avoided Zhao Xixing's gaze and wanted to pour the pot of tea.

But it was a slam on the ground.

"It's ...... Wine! Cheng Ying was stunned, there was tea in the teapot, it was clearly wine, or the strongest wine.

"yes, it's wine." At this time, Zhao Xixing's eyes began to be misty, probably taking advantage of the strength of the wine, people were also at ease, and his momentum was rising, "...... Courageous. ”

Cheng Yingyu understood, but he didn't dare to admit that he understood, so he panicked and didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

Zhao Xixing got up and walked towards her, his face was quite calm, but his eyes were burning hot, and he said in a hoarse voice: "It's only three ...... Do you want to go back tonight? ”

The end of the sentence rose slightly, adding a sense of merry.

Cheng Ying hated the pot of wine. Zhao Xixing was so bold that she couldn't even use the majesty of Empress Minde, she only felt weak and buzzing in her mind.

Zhao Xi walked in front of her, stretched out his slender index finger against her lips, smiled, and the wind and moon lingered-

"You're satisfied."

……

The jade furnace is icy and the mandarin duck brocade, and the powder melts and sweats on the mountain pillow. There was a sound outside the curtain, and he smiled and laughed.

The willows are indifferent, and the low sideburns are falling. You must fight all your life and enjoy yourself today (Note 1).
