"It doesn't hurt, Concubine Xie Rou." Xiao Ye replied shyly. Ouyang Zhen looked at her face carefully before saying, "Today I went to ask Wan Zhaoyi to accept you." She has a good heart, so she will naturally treat you well, and you will also serve you well. What should be said and what should not be said, you must understand it yourself. ”

Xiao Ye trembled, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The slave's life was saved by the concubine Niangniang, if it weren't for the maid, the slave wouldn't have survived this winter, the maid had a lot of ideas for the slave maid, the slave and the maid are not the kind of people who don't know how to repay the favor, Niangniang rest assured." ”

Ouyang Zhen nodded and helped her up with his own hands: "You are also clever, otherwise you wouldn't know what that person did." Now there are other intentions to put you down Wan Zhaoyi's side, she is pregnant with a dragon seed, some people have to be extra careful, you serve by her side, your eyes are wide, and if there is anything wrong, you will say to Ming Ying. You are only fourteen this year, and it will be a long time before you leave the palace, and your old mother outside the palace is still looking forward to your return to serve. You can rest assured. If you have any money, tell this palace, and I will naturally help you. ”

Xiao Ye hurriedly knelt down to thank him, and retreated with a thousand thanks.

Wan Hui saw her leaving, so she stepped forward and said, "Niang Niang wants to put her on Wan Zhaoyi's side?" Tell her to watch? Ouyang Zhen nodded: "Wan Zhaoyi is simple-minded, and she is pregnant, so I don't know how many people will look at it with red eyes." ”

"Niangniang is not afraid of ......," Wan Hui hesitated.

Ouyang Zhen smiled: "What are you afraid of?" I don't know a single big character in that little leaf, no matter how much I ask, it's just like that. The secret letter to Wang Meiren was not written by her, and the handwriting did not match. I'm not afraid that she will bite me back. ”

Wan Hui was relieved.

At this time, Dexuan came in, Wan Hui looked at his face, knew that he had something to do, and retreated.

Ouyang Zhen took a sip of tea before he said, "Did you get in touch with Gonggong Wu when you left the palace?" Dexuan nodded, bowed his head and said, "But Gonggong Wu said that there is no whereabouts of the emperor." ”

Ouyang Zhen's beautiful eyes were gloomy, and he waved his hand: "Got it." What else do you have any news about? ”

Dexuan thought for a while before saying: "Recently, the emperor has sealed the princes of several previous emperors, and the eldest prince has also been sent to the Qin State as an envoy, some people say that the emperor's move is to put the eldest prince as a proton in the Qin State, and the second prince was released from the palace, and he was crowned a Feng Wang, and he added a lot of Yulu, which is an idle prince." Several other princes were also crowned kings and sent to their territories. ”

Ouyang Zhen's delicate hand knocked on the table, and he did it after listening. Chu Huotian's methods she naturally didn't worry, he didn't say anything about the court in front of her, so she naturally didn't dare to ask more. But it's always a good idea to be prepared.

After Dexuan finished speaking, he seemed to have something to say, and was hesitating. Ouyang Zhen smiled and said, "Say, you came to tell me about the outside world." ”

Dexuan straightened his expression before he said: "The slave maid heard from Gonggong Wu that the remnants of the righteous army in Huadi are now chasing and killing a man named Zhanfei, saying that he betrayed the rebels, so that Leader Zhang died in Chu Jingzhong." ”

Ouyang Zhen couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, stood up and hurriedly asked, "Then what else does Gonggong Wu say?" ”

Dexuan said with a solemn expression: "Gonggong Wu only heard about his news, and asked Niangniang if she was in contact with the righteous army to see if she could find the little emperor?" ”

"No way!" Ouyang Zhen said categorically. "The rebels are not allowed to provoke the slightest thing, just find Zhan Daxia as soon as possible, and help him if they can."

"He is gracious to us, and we cannot sit idly by." Ouyang Zhen said again. This made Dexuan retreat.

Zhanfei, Zhanfei...... Ouyang Zhen couldn't help but wring the handkerchief in his hand, the prodigal son of the rivers and lakes...... That bright and uninhibited smile......

She sighed lightly and looked at the snowy landscape outside, and then she retracted her thoughts.

……

In the early years of Chu Ninghe, Chu Huo Tiansu rectified the court, and some officials were degraded and moved, because he was strong in the army, although there were many rumors at the bottom, but the situation in the entire court was quite stable, and no one dared to rebel again.

The eldest prince was sent to envoy Qin, which made some people talk about it even more. The second prince was named King Feng, and he drank and had fun in his palace all day long, but it had the meaning of being drunk and dreaming of death.

The Xu family's witch case in the harem was also dealt with by Chu Huotian coldly, Xu's father, Xu Zhenglin, who was promoted to the secretary of the military department, made a remorseful plea, and personally ran to Chu Huotian's imperial study to kneel for an hour, and then Chu Huotian asked someone to help him stagger back.

The queen and Mrs. Liu Guo also went to the guilty list. A few pedantic old ministers didn't have a good idea to say anything, so they only sighed a few words and did it.

The Xu family was removed from the hairpin ring, and only one grandmother followed, so he was rushed to Yongxiang to think about it.

Ouyang Zhen has been living a peaceful life these days, and he still goes to greet the queen mother every day, never stopping, and he also walks around at Mrs. Liuguo's place, and the etiquette of each palace is enough.

Although Mrs. Liu Guo no longer has the power to take charge of the harem, she doesn't see any loss on her face. However, Wang Meiren alienated her, and the three newcomers were not much favored.

Everything is like this snowy palace, silent and dreary.

Ouyang Zhen chose a day at dusk, asked Wan Hui to seal the affairs to be taken, and went out.

Wan Hui packed up the things she wanted to bring, and asked hesitantly, "Niang Niang really wants to go over?" ”

Ouyang Zhen nodded, looked in the mirror, there were few hairpins on his head, and his clothes were not luxurious and gorgeous.

"Today, the emperor is resting at Li Guiren's place, I can just go and have a look. Besides, I'll leave in a while, and it doesn't matter. Have you boiled the things that told you to boil? Ouyang Zhen asked.

Wan Hui nodded. At this time, Dexuan also came in, bowed down and said, "Niangniang, everything has been arranged over there." It's OK to go. ”

Ouyang Zhen took a deep breath, Ren Dexuan put a snow coat on her, and quietly walked out of the "Huayan Palace".

Because it was dinner time, the palace maids on the road were in a hurry, and no one would pay attention to them, thinking that the palace maids with a good face in the palace were taking snacks to serve.

The snow creaks under your feet, crisp and crisp. In recent days, it has snowed again, and the weather is getting colder and colder. Ouyang Zhen clutched the stove in his arms and raised his eyes to look ahead.

It is still the vermilion palace wall, the emerald glazed tiles, and the unmelted snow still leaves a star on it, which makes it more and more emerald and deep, and the red is dazzling.

The tangram exquisite palace lamp in Wan Hui's hand is dim and dim, only illuminating a small square of snow in front of it, the wind in the night is gradually getting stronger, the sky is gray, and it seems that another heavy snow is about to fall.

Step by step, there was silence all around, and the palace people who came and went looked hurried, and the messy footsteps gradually disappeared. The road under his feet became more and more remote, and gradually, there was only the sound of Wan Hui and Dexuan's nervous and heavy breathing.
