Qinglin cleaned up all corners of the house, there was nothing here, and the old things that were put in the house in the past Zhao Mama said that they could be used, and there were a few furnishings, which looked more like home.

The carbon fire in the west courtyard has to be offered to the little master, although there is no fire in the house, but the quilt is thick, much warmer than the newcomer's courtyard in the inner house, Qingxi curled up in the quilt, revealing his round two eyes, and looked at Qinglin who was squatting next to him.

"Brother."

He shouted quietly.

Qinglin only cared about fiddling with the two pairs of shoes he found from the box under the bed, which looked quite new, they should have been left by the people who lived in this house before, and I don't know why they didn't take them away.

He compared the size, which was about the same as Qingxi's feet, and touched the inside of the tossed and turned, and the insoles were very soft.

It's time for a change of shoes.

This pair is just right, too.

Thinking so, he raised his eyes with a smile: "Qiusheng, you wear this tomorrow!" ”

Qiusheng is Qingxi's nickname, and he called it that before entering the palace, Qingxi likes Qinglin to call him so in private, and there is a kind of closeness between the two brothers.

"Okay." Qingxi replied quickly and laughed, "Brother, it's so good here." ”

When he first raised his hand, he thought he was going to be beaten.

I didn't expect to come to such a good place, and sure enough, there was nothing wrong with listening to my brother.

Qinglin put his shoes away carefully, he didn't find a more suitable pair for himself, but he was willing to make Qingxi more comfortable.

The two brothers lay down side by side, squirming close to Qingxi, and let out a genuinely happy laugh: "We are also people with a little master now, I heard that the emperor will stay here tonight, so can we also see the emperor tomorrow?" Brother, I used to envy them that they had a little master to serve, we are all slaves, why should we serve them? It's all right now, let's follow the little lord well, and we will be like them in the future, with the reward of the little master, and when we save money, when we get out of the palace when we are old, we can do business, and when the time comes... ”

Qingxi was very excited, and said endlessly, Qinglin looked at him sideways, and took over with a smile, "Let's talk about it then, we have just entered the palace, and we don't know when we will have the opportunity to go out." ”

After speaking, Qinglin patted Qingxi's arm and let him rest well, and he will officially start a new life from tomorrow.

Qingxi's brain is not very good, but this can also make him live more frankly, he will remember the good of others for a long, long time, but he will not always think about those bad things, he thinks about a better future, and soon there will be an even breathing sound, sometimes Qinglin is very envious of him, and he also feels lucky, it is not a good thing to be able to be like a child all the time, his melancholy and heartache are actually healed by Qingxi.

Outsiders feel that Qingxi is very dependent on him, and the two of them are almost inseparable, but only Qinglin himself knows that he needs the sunshine and brightness that Qingxi gives him more than Qingxi's dependence.

I slept very well this night, after entering the palace, I slept so well for the first time, and the next day it was still bright, and Qinglin was already pulling Qingxi up.

Desheng and Xiangcui kept vigil, and when the two were still washing their faces in a daze, Qinglin and Qingxi were already standing on two wooden stakes in the courtyard.

Desheng was startled, looked at it for a while, and woke up from all the drowsiness, so he hurriedly patted Xiangcui and motioned her to take a look.

Xiangcui went down the stairs and stood in front of the two: "What are you doing here?" ”

Qingxi smiled: "Miss Xiangcui is early, Qinglin said that on the first day of the errand, we have to wait for the little master to ask." ”

Xiangcui couldn't cry or laugh, and felt that Qingxi was silly and cute: "The emperor and the little lord haven't woken up yet, don't pestle here, it's not good to scare the little lord later." ”

After speaking, seeing that the two of them were in a hurry and had nothing to do, he raised his finger and pointed to the location of the miscellaneous sweeping room: "Go find a broom, sweep the floor, weed, do anything, don't pestle like this, wait for the emperor to leave before the little lord will call you to talk." ”

After the order, the two of them ran away, as if they were afraid that they would slow down a little.

Xiangcui looked at the backs of the two and laughed, it's okay to rush to work, it's much cuter than Chang Fu and Qingchun's two bastards!

It seems that he was afraid of being kicked out, and it seems that a little compassion at the beginning is not wrong.

The two of them hurriedly came back with a broom, and Xiangcui slapped their chests to ensure that the courtyard of the west courtyard would always be clean in the future, Xiangcui covered her mouth and smiled, so that they were not allowed to be poor, and the emperor would kneel next to him when he came out, so that the emperor could see them coming.

Although he didn't know why, Qinglin didn't ask a word, and after answering with a smile, the two of them began to get busy, and the expressions on their faces were a lot more relieved.

Xiang Cui looked at it for a while and then went back to the door to wait, Desheng had already brought hot water, and nodded his chin at the two over there: "Look at the hands and feet, oh, the hot water is boiling." ”

Xiang Cui looked up proudly: "Of course, I don't look at who chooses." ”

Seeing her little expression, Desheng couldn't help laughing, and was threatened by Xiangcui with a fist.

Tossed late last night, drank wine, Ruyi said some sweet and soft words, Jingchen didn't think about letting her go, but the next day still had to get up early, today I want to go to the Queen Mother's side to ask for lucky dumplings, Ruyi woke up and rubbed Jingchen's shoulder and neck to lie on, tickled by her eyelashes and breathing, Jingchen smiled at the corner of his lips, circled her a little tighter, rubbed her with his chin, the hand in the quilt was not honest, Ruyi couldn't stand it, he giggled first, and wanted to hide to the side.

Jingchen hugged her and squinted a little: "You are in such good spirits?" ”

Ruyi replied vaguely: "It's the blessing dumplings of the Queen Mother." ”

Jingchen frowned, and then sighed very lightly: "What's the point of eating that thing, eat it every year, toss people." ”

Hearing this, Ruyi suddenly stood up and said solemnly: "How can the emperor think so, good fortune is naturally prayed for every year, and the concubines are also looking forward to having such good luck, so as to pray for the emperor's peace and longevity." ”

She was even more lovely when she got serious, her eyes were round, her face was round, and her hair was frizzy like some kind of fluffy animal in her arms.

"I didn't say I wouldn't go." Seeing that she was going to blow her hair, Jingchen brushed it along, "You and I will go over later." ”

Ruyi sat up straight and combed her hair with her hands: "The concubine walked over by herself, very slowly, don't wait for the concubine, the emperor should go and accompany the queen mother first." ”

Jingchen also got up, sat cross-legged and looked at Ruyi, and after half a ring, he held his face and smiled: "I will accompany you over." ”

Ruyi's ears were hot, and he suddenly raised his eyes: "The emperor said it himself, don't regret it later!" ”

Jingchen bowed his head: "I have a word." ”

When the words fell, Ruyi had already turned over and got out of bed, and then kissed him on the cheek like a dragonfly, and then walked outside quickly, calling someone to come in and wait for freshness.

Jingchen sat on the bed and didn't move, staring at Ruyi outside the curtain.

He's seen it since last night.

Ruyi has become a little different.

From being blindly sensible and obedient and standing at a distance to look at him from a distance, to now being able to say witty things to him, he is no longer so cautious and afraid to approach.

Jingchen prefers her bright appearance now, which makes him unconsciously happy.

I always felt as if I had given her the courage to be brave.

Today, I begged for blessings, asked for a joy, and I didn't want to wear too bright, so I just pinned two red hairpins on my head.

Jingchen felt bad, and asked Xiangcui to get the big red shawl, since he wanted to pray for blessings, he needed the greatest blessing.

Ruyi didn't stop it, knowing that the more he stopped Jingchen, the more rebellious he became, he didn't like to listen to anything about his identity now, and it was in vain to say it, Ruyi pondered for a while before saying: "The concubine is thinking, with the emperor by his side, how can it be a complete circle." ”

Jingchen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that she seemed to be forcing Ruyi to do something she didn't want to do, and immediately softened her tone: "Do you want to wear it?" ”

Ruyi blinked: "If the emperor wants to see it, how about the concubine wear it to the emperor now?" ”

Jingchen also bent his eyebrows, and saw that Xiangcui happened to come in with a shawl, so he got up and took it in person, and tied it for Ruyi.

She has never worn such a gorgeous one, she looks still immature, and she can't hold up such an atmospheric color, but Jingchen still thinks it looks good, at her age, even if she can't hold up, she still looks good.

Xiangcui thought that Ruyi really wanted to wear this out, and there was really nothing to be afraid of with the emperor's support, but after two turns of dressing, she took it off again, and Mama Zhao asked her to prepare the one that the little master often wears on weekdays.

Seeing that the time was not early, Ruyi let go out with a congratulatory gift for the Queen Mother, and when he walked down the stairs, he saw two figures kneeling next to him, Ruyi felt strange, thinking that it was someone in front of the emperor, and was trying to let Xiangcui remind them that they could follow, but Xiangcui told her that it was a new little eunuch in the West Courtyard, Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and then cried and laughed: "This is a fast move." ”

She didn't have time to care about these two people, Jingchen said to accompany her, that is, a group of people followed together, Li Shuanglin put his hand in his sleeve and led a group of minions to follow from afar, which was much more majestic than sitting in a sedan chair.

The Queen Mother's palace is so lively at this time, every year the sea is always in a hurry to be the first to arrive, this year is naturally no exception, she thought that the emperor must be the same as in previous years to accompany the Queen Mother to talk, but after sitting for a long time did not see the emperor's figure, sent someone to ask only to know that the emperor did not sit in a sedan chair at all, but actually accompanied Ke Chang to walk over.

Hai Changzai's face changed, and he scolded in a low voice, and the smile on his face disappeared immediately.

She stood up after a while and sat down on Concubine Hui's side: "Niangniang, the emperor is still on the way." ”

Concubine Hui responded very lightly, and it seemed that she had already gotten the news.

It's just that as the mother of the main palace, she can't easily show her emotions, especially in front of the queen mother and the queen.

Hai Chang felt a little bad in his heart, but it was not good to say anything more, looking around, I don't know how many people had already gotten the news secretly, but they didn't say anything, Hai Chang sat for a while, still didn't give up, and when he wanted to say something more, he suddenly saw Concubine Yi looking at herself, and all the hairs on her back stood up, biting her tongue significantly.

Seeing Hai Chang looking over, Concubine Yi was still smiling at her, which made Hai Changzai's face change again and again, and hurriedly returned to her place and sat down, for fear that Concubine Yi would go crazy and call herself over, she didn't want to sit next to Concubine Yi, and she felt a chill down her spine when she thought about it.

Hai Changzai just sat back for a while, and Jingchen and Ruyi arrived.

The house was still lively, and as soon as Jingchen came in, it was even more lively.

Ruyi followed Jingchen's side, and he reached out to help her, telling her to be careful when she crossed the threshold of the inner room, which was higher than the outside.

Ruyi blushed, and when she raised her eyes, she found that many ladies looked at her much softer, and she didn't know if it was because she felt that she would be able to go higher and farther in the future, so she was willing to get closer, or because of the care of Mrs. Zhenbei Hou and the Queen Mother.

In short, they had only regarded wishful things as after-dinner conversations, and the transformation of goodwill and malice was only in an instant.

After the embroidery, the Queen Mother acquiesced to Jingchen's behavior towards Ruyi, she saw Ruyi come in and beckoned her to come forward.

Sitting here, are people who are used to seeing things in the courtyard of the palace, the queen mother's maintenance intentions are already well known, so there is no need to hide it, the queen mother's simple move is to recognize that she has the meaning of staying by her side, many people cast or envy or jealous eyes, some people feel that the queen mother's choice must be because of the Ruyi outstanding, some people just blindly feel that Ruyi is not worthy of virtue, I don't know how to coax the queen mother and the emperor.

But they just don't want to admit it, deep down, who doesn't know how a small Changzai could have deceived the two most noble people in the palace?

Seeing the Queen Mother beckoning, Jingchen also signaled Ruyi to go quickly, and when she walked quickly to the Queen Mother's side, the Queen Mother asked her with a smile: "Why don't you wear red?" ”

In this room, all kinds of reds are huddled together, and everyone wants to please the winner.

The Queen Mother's tone was very gentle, and Ruyi was originally a little cramped and uneasy, but now she relaxed a little more, and said with a smile: "The concubine is wearing red." ”

After speaking, he showed his pearl hairpin to the Queen Mother, but it was indeed red.

The Queen Mother looked at her with a smile, didn't say more, and by the way, let Ruyi sit down beside her, Aunt Mo Yan beckoned the palace people to bring a bowl of blessing dumplings to Ruyi and the emperor, and many people ate first, and some must wait for the emperor to rub the dragon's qi, and then they all served the dishes and chopsticks, the queen mother stared at Ruyi and Jingchen, and deliberately said loudly below: "But no one has eaten blessing dumplings yet." After speaking, he asked Mo Yan again, "Who ate last year?" ”

Mo Yan didn't think about it for a while, and said, "Yes, who came last year?" ”

Concubine Ming on the side took over: "Last year, it was Concubine Hui Gui Niangniang who ate it, and Niangniang had a good appetite and happened to eat an extra bowl." ”

The Queen Mother thought about it for a while, and nodded again and again: "Yes, that's the case." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Hui Guifei: "No one in the palace has eaten Fu for two years in a row, Hui Guifei, let's see if you can bite it again this year." ”

Concubine Hui was originally a little cold because Jingchen came with Ruyi, but when she heard the Queen Mother suddenly say this to herself, she quickly pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, and her eyes fell on Ruyi: "The concubine was borrowed from everyone's blessing last year, and I thought that one bowl would be enough, but I couldn't listen to the persuasion to eat one more bowl, and I just beat it crookedly, this year, the concubine is very blessed to look at the sisters, no matter who bites, it is God bless the south." ”

She said everything she said, and no one could be offended, and many young girls were eager to try it because of her words.

Everyone wants to bite into it, there is only one golden blessing in hundreds of dumplings, how lucky it must be.

The Queen Mother also bowed her head after listening to her, and everyone didn't move the chopsticks when she spoke, the Queen Mother urged Jingchen to eat quickly, and everyone bit up, the same as the lottery, one bite slower than the other, and they all thought that they were the lucky ones, don't break their teeth.

Jingchen didn't have any special interest in these, the chopsticks poked in the middle of the dumplings, and he knew if there was any, he poked quickly, confirmed that there was none, and then ate a few, and then looked at Ruyi who took a small bite of the dumplings.

She ate slowly, and only ate two of them for half a while, which made the Queen Mother anxious and asked her to bite quickly.

Ruyi was a little embarrassed, Jingchen was afraid that she would choke in a hurry, and asked her to eat slowly, which made the Queen Mother look at him several times, and it was hard to say what she wanted to say.

Listening to the Queen Mother's urging, the faces of the queen and Concubine Hui were a little unsightly.

What the queen mother means, they actually understand.

After marrying Jingchen that year, the first New Year's Lucky Dumplings were eaten by the queen, she was Jingchen's wife, even though Jingchen didn't marry her because of love, the queen mother still gave her that dignity.

Then there is Concubine Hui, the grace of the Su family is not much less than that of the Tong family.

Last year, most of them were fruitless, and the Queen Mother didn't arrange anything, she really relied on luck to eat, but this year is different, you can know at a glance that the Queen Mother is attentive, and this year's lucky dumplings must be in the bowl of Ruyi.

The queen pinched her chopsticks tightly, she really didn't have much appetite, she raised it for a while and put it down, and Chunmei gently persuaded beside her: "Niangniang, eat a little, don't be hungry." ”

The queen shook her head and looked at Ruyi beside the queen mother.

This little palace maid is really going to stride forward.

She had never taken this little palace maid in her eyes, but now it seems that Concubine Hui can perceive the crisis better than her.

During the banquet, young girls sighed one after another, and they didn't eat it this year, they may not understand it when they were young, but the ladies at the banquet exchanged glances with each other, and they all knew it, and they bit down one by one, knowing that the dumplings would not be in their bowls.

The one above is always here, and now it is different.

Soon, Ruyi paused, her teeth touched a hard thing, and she was immediately a little confused, unable to believe that she would be so lucky this year.

Seeing that she was stunned, the Queen Mother laughed and called her: "What's wrong?" This girl, why is she still eating? Got a bite into something? ”

The Queen Mother asked, Ruyi could only loosen her mouth and use chopsticks to open it, and sure enough, there was a golden blessing hidden in the meat filling, which looked delicate and valuable.

Many people craned their necks to look up, and the news spread from person to person, and after a while, the sound of congratulations came up like a tide.

Ruyi was even more confused, and turned her face a little dazed and stiff to look at those unfamiliar faces.

They may have only gotten together a few days ago to laugh at her humble background and talk about her lowly status, but at this moment, because she was sitting next to the Queen Mother and the Emperor, because the Queen Mother and the Emperor no longer concealed their love, these people who had treated her coldly, pointed and even ridiculed her, all looked up to the smiling faces of congratulations, hugged her, and squeezed into her eyes.

She didn't feel that the scene in front of her was lively, she only felt a chill in her bones, her tight lip line relaxed slightly, and Ruyi laughed with them.

But she knew very well in her heart that if one day, she lost the love of the queen mother and the emperor, it would be these people who would step her into the mud and abyss again.

This golden blessing will allow her to really step into the so-called harem life.

Everyone will begin to look at her squarely.

The storm will sweep in.

It never stops.

·

The Queen Mother left Ruyi to speak, and deliberately let her go for the last time, and it was already an hour later when she came out of the Yongshou Palace.

Jin Fu washed it and put it in his purse, and at this time he hung it on Ruyi's waist, feeling heavy.

Xiang Cui was so happy, he couldn't imagine that this was the queen mother's arrangement, but he was really touched by the emperor's dragon energy, and he raised his eyebrows today.

It was rare for Xixiaoyuan to be so happy, Xiangcui chattered all the way, and Mama Zhao didn't stop her anything.

Ruyi was thinking about things in his heart, but he didn't listen to Xiangcui's words a few words, and when he entered the courtyard and saw two little eunuchs cleaning up the dry grass, he pulled his thoughts back, remembering that there were two more people in his palace early in the morning.

Xiangcui followed Ruyi into the house, and when she heard Ruyi say that she wanted to see them, she jumped out and led the two in.

Qinglin wiped his hands on his clothes, and before going in, he pulled Qingxi and told him to talk less, and when he must answer, just follow his answer.

Qingxi grinned: "I know. ”

They've always been like this.

Qinglin patted Qingxi's shoulder with relief, and when he heard Xiangcui urging, he hurriedly lowered his head and went into the house to kneel.

Ruyi saw that she was thin at a glance, she thought it was specially selected by the Inner Government, but she just asked Mama Zhao a sentence, only to know that it was Xiangcui who chose it herself.

Although I don't know why Xiangcui chose the two of them, since they are here, there is no reason to drive them away, Ruyi didn't speak, and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "You guys raise your faces and speak." ”

Lying on his stomach like this, he could only see the brim of his hat.

She instructed the two of them to straighten up hesitantly for a while, Qinglin glanced at the little master in front of him, it was too different from what he imagined, he knelt on the side of the road in the morning, but he didn't dare to raise his head at all, his legs were numb, and he was sure that the masters had gone far away, so he dared to pull Qingxi up.

Ke Chang is still very young, his voice is gentle, and his appearance is gentle.

"What's your name?" If you can't talk to them, Ruyi can only talk to them according to what she thinks.

Qinglin: "Slave Qinglin, he is happy, he will be on an errand in the west courtyard in the future, and he will definitely serve the little master with all his heart." ”

After he finished speaking, he habitually kowtowed, and Qingxi followed his movements and kowtowed.

Ruyi was stunned for a moment after hearing the name, too many bad things came into her mind at once, and she couldn't laugh very well, and she felt very uncomfortable even listening to what Qinglin said in her ears.

"I don't do my best, and I don't rely on words." She muttered to herself, not specifically to tell Qinglin and them, but the past was too painful to let go.

Now that Qingchun is dead, she even hates and leaves with him.

When I hear similar names, I can only feel embarrassed.

She originally just thought so in her heart, but she didn't expect to murmur unconsciously, Qinglin kept listening with her ears pricked up, thinking that Ruyi was suspicious and worried about them, and her face turned white when she brushed it.
