Hearing the emperor say this, Xia Rongxin slowly raised her head.

"Looking at it this way, it's more pure than before." Qi Bingyu carefully looked at Xia Rongxin's face, no matter how well Rao was maintained, there were inevitably some traces left by the years in the corners of his eyes.

Xia Rongxin knows that she is old and decrepit, and she is old and yellow, so she decorates herself with jewelry on weekdays, and smears a thick fat powder on her face to cover the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, which looks luxurious and delicate, beautiful and moving, but she has lost the charm that she should have at such an age.

"Is the emperor laughing at his concubine?" Xia Rongxin lowered her head and touched her face, smiling embarrassedly.

"Birth, old age, sickness... It's human nature, everyone will experience it, and Rong Xin doesn't need to see it so important. Qi Bingyu took Xia Rongxin's hand and sat on the concubine's floor, helping her warm her hands as before.

Xia Rongxin was a little flattered, and tried to withdraw her hand several times, but Qi Bingyu held it down firmly.

Xia Rongxin is still still in a daze, she doesn't know why the emperor suddenly came to Yichun Hall to see her today, and she almost forgot about her in this winter.

"Why is your palace so deserted? With so much snow outside, why did all these people go? But see that you are sick and have a heart to deceive? Qi Bingyu looked at the heavy snow outside the window and asked dissatisfiedly.

Yun Xi and Rong Fu listened, and quickly knelt down and bowed their heads without saying a word.

Xia Rongxin took Qi Bingyu's hand and explained, "It was the concubine who asked them to rest." ”

Qi Bingyu looked at Xia Rongxin suspiciously, not understanding her approach, it was freezing this day, and she was sick in bed, just when she needed someone to serve her, why did she let her subordinates rest? Is it to give them a monthly stipend so that they can rest?

Qi Bingyu kept speculating and blaming himself in his heart, when he was the prince of the East Palace, he also grew up in the palace, and he was used to seeing the servants in the palace seeing the wind and rudder, thinking that it was because he had not been to Yichun Hall for a long time, and he was indifferent to Concubine Mei.

"The emperor is angry, the concubine's Yichun Palace, no one has come over recently, and the concubine herself is sick in bed... It's enough to have clouds around to serve Rongfu, and so many people are also upset when they are dangling in front of them, so it's better to let them go. Slaves are also people, and they are still standing outside in the cold, and the concubines can't bear to look at them. Xia Rongxin explained softly.

Gonggong He listened to it on the side, and couldn't help nodding in approval, Mei Guifei Niangniang has always been kind-hearted, extremely kind to her subordinates, and very thoughtful about things.

Qi Bingyu looked at Xia Rongxin and felt that she had changed, but he felt that she had not changed.

Her face is inferior to that of her youth, but her heart is as pure as ever.

Xia Rongxin felt a little embarrassed when Qi Bingyu looked at her like this, she pulled her sideburns, and asked as if she had no intention of intentioning: "Why does the emperor have time to come to Yichun Hall today?" Can you finish reading it? ”

On weekdays, when I went to the Qinzheng Palace to see Qi Bingyu, I was always refused to say that I was dealing with official business, and in the recent month, Lu Huiling often accompanied the office in the Qinzheng Palace, Xia Rongxin was no longer able to compete with her, so she simply didn't go, and gradually she slowly let go of the power in her hands for some things, and everyone knew that Mei Guifei was no longer favored, and turned to please Concubine Ming.

I saw that the door of Minghua Hall was like a city, and I didn't see the door of Yichun Palace.

In the past month, Qi Bingyu has never heard Grandpa He talk about Xia Rongxin again, and he has never thought of her, all of this seems to be natural and natural.

"Today's heavy snow, plum blossoms are blooming, Rong Xinke still remembers the past?" Qi Bingyu held Xia Rongxin's hand and said indifferently.

Xia Rongxin's eyes widened in astonishment, and she raised her head to look at Qi Bingyu, every time she saw the plum tree outside the Yichun Hall open, she could always think of the heavy snow more than 20 years ago, how could she forget, but she didn't expect that Qi Bingyu was accompanied by a beautiful woman by his side now, and she could still remember the scene when the two met.

"Of course, of course I do." Xia Rongxin said with a smile after realizing it, "At that time, the emperor had just ascended the throne, and it was also the first Chinese New Year's Eve that the concubine spent in the palace. ”

"In previous years, during the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet, our children were there, and now Qin'er is on an expedition, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet..." Qi Bingyu said smoothly.

"Isn't there still Huanqing, she is also our child now." Xia Rongxin said with a smile.

Qi Bingyu knew that she was worried about Qi Jingqin, but she didn't want to show it in front of him.

"This year's Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet, we want to make something special, and bring all the families of those generals into the palace, after all, this is different from the past, and it is also the first time that the army has encountered the New Year." Qi Bingyu said to Xia Rongxin in a consultative tone.

Xia Rongxin listened quietly.

"Since it is the general's family, it is necessary to make some special and interesting programs, otherwise when the New Year comes, especially in this season, they will always miss the people who are fighting far away on the border, and the New Year will not be easy." Qi Bingyu patted the back of Xia Rongxin's hand and said softly.

"Why don't you let them enter the palace from the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and then go back to the house after the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, but then you will trouble Concubine Mei to pay more attention, so many family ladies must also be properly settled." Qi Bingyu said slowly while thinking.

"When the year comes, I'm very worried about those refugees! If Concubine Mei Guifei arranges for someone to go to the palace to give porridge in a few days, she will be kind and generous in the name of the royal family, and it will be good for the whole royal family. When foreign envoys come to congratulate them, they also need to pay attention to a lot of arrangements, and all of this can be left to you to rest assured. Qi Bingyu didn't care whether Xia Rongxin answered or not, but just said vigorously, as if he was worried that the two would be a little rusty if they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"Your Majesty." Xia Rongxin listened to it for a long time, and couldn't help but say, "The concubine has been lying in Yichun Hall for more than half a month... The matter of the family banquet Chinese New Year's Eve the New Year was left to Concubine Ming. ”

Yun Xi and Rong Fu glanced at each other, they were full of mixed tastes, these should have been worried about Concubine Mei, but at the moment, they didn't know who wanted Concubine Ming to do it, but as subordinates, it was okay to see that the master could rest for a while.

Qi Bingyu was suddenly dumbfounded, and he slowly looked at Gonggong He: "He Sheng, is there indeed such a thing?" ”

He Gonggong trembled forward, leaned over and said, "Emperor, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet... It was run by Concubine Ming. But... But the Internal Affairs Office has also been cooperating with Concubine Ming, want to come..."He glanced up at Mei Guifei, as if he owed a lot, "I don't think it will be much worse than in previous years." ”

"It's nonsense!" Qi Bingyu was furious, "Concubine Ming has only been in the palace for a short time, she is still young, the etiquette of the palace concubine has not yet been learned, and she is so playful!" How can you be up to this task! You're all letting her do whatever she wants! Don't you know that this year's Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet is special! Da Liang violated the border and occupied Shanzhou, and other small countries are watching the jokes of the Celestial Empire! Although all nations will come to court at that time! But don't you know what they're here for? Ho Sheng! You're confused! ”

The current saint of the capital loves Concubine Ming, but no one knows that he is actually clear in his heart like a mirror, he can listen to some of what Lu Huiling said, but Lu Huiling is such a temperament, and he is also clear about what he does, and he will never allow her to come nonsense, but what he didn't expect is that these people in the palace actually indulged her temper in every way.

Qi Bingyu didn't know what he was angry about, was it because people were angry that they handed over such an important matter related to the glory of the Celestial Empire to a yellow-haired girl, or were they angry that they had set aside the rights that Mei Guifei should have for no reason?

Gonggong He hurriedly knelt on the ground and said sadly: "The emperor is angry! The emperor is angry! Don't be angry because of this, it's not worth being the emperor! ”

As soon as he said this, Qi Bingyu felt depressed in his heart, and couldn't help coughing, Xia Rongxin hurriedly stepped forward to support Qi Bingyu, and gently patted his back for him: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, it's freezing this day, and it's not easy to get well from the wind and cold." ”

"Who's going to do it?!" Qi Bingyu pointed at He Gonggong and asked sharply, "Or you dog slaves are bullying and hiding when they see the wind!" ”

Seeing that the emperor was indeed angry, Gonggong He hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The emperor is angry, is it a slave, the emperor must not be angry!" ”

"Who wants you to do this!" Qi Bingyu pointed at He Gonggong and asked, he didn't believe that He Sheng would do such an unobtrusive thing, He Sheng had been by his side for many years, and he couldn't be clearer about his style of doing things.

Gonggong He looked embarrassed, and didn't dare to look up at Qi Bingyu, but only knelt in place with his head bowed with a sad face.

"Say!" Qi Bingyu saw that he didn't say anything, so he stepped forward angrily and kicked him, this kick was infinitely powerful, and he Gongren turned on his back.

"Your Majesty!" Xia Rongxin couldn't help but exclaim when she saw this, how did Father-in-law He say that he was also serving the old man beside him, he was already old and frail, how could he withstand the emperor's kick, "Rongfu hurriedly helped to help him up. ”

Rong Fu hurriedly stepped forward to support Grandpa He and wiped the dust off his body for him.

"Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, Concubine Ming is also doing things now, and I don't see anything inappropriate, so I will let her go first, and when the concubine is better, I will take a good look at Concubine Ming to ensure that nothing goes wrong." Xia Rongxin looked at the angry Qi Bingyu in front of her, and said softly.

However, Qi Bingyu couldn't listen to any persuasion at the moment, he was still angry and said to He Gonggong: "You give me an honest explanation!" ”

"Father-in-law He, you just said it, it's good to avoid the pain of flesh and skin, if you get to bully the king, it won't outweigh the loss." Rong Fu, who was beside Gonggong He, whispered.

Gonggong He touched his chest and coughed a few times, he was really embarrassed, he didn't want to say it, and then the emperor would be even more angry, but in the current situation, the emperor was really angry, and he had to know.

"The emperor's words are... It was Concubine Ming who wanted the minions to do this. Gonggong He stepped forward and knelt down and said.
