The nobleman walked out of the Yichun Palace, looking distracted, Ah Xun looked at her as if she walked out of the Minghua Hall that day, her eyes were scattered, her body was weak, and she seemed to fall down with every step she took, and she was particularly worried that the nobleman would fall down as soon as she returned to the Lanyuan Pavilion.

"Nobleman, didn't Concubine Mei listen to your advice and follow your instructions as you said? You have completed the task assigned to you by Concubine Ming, why are you still worried? Ah Xun couldn't stand it anymore, so he couldn't help but step forward and ask.

The noble man walked towards the Lanyuan Pavilion step by step with the gesture of Wanfu, although the task was completed, if it went well, she could give Concubine Ming an errand, but now she did not feel a little relieved in her heart, and could only feel that the pressure in her heart was heavier.

"Ah Xun, you say... What did Concubine Ming want to do at the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet? The noble man came back to his senses and said such a sentence slowly.

Ah Xun knew that the nobles had always been careful, and they would definitely want to know what Concubine Ming asked her to do these things for, but these were the things of the master, and asked Ah Xun where she knew so much about a little girl.

Ah Xun stepped forward to hold the hand of the nobleman, they had been so close when they were outside the palace in the past, but they were forced by the rules of the palace, and they had not had such an intimate act for a long time.

"Nobleman, after all, the matter was solved satisfactorily and smoothly, what you promised Concubine Ming did it, and Concubine Ming also rescued the old lady safely, and sent them back to their hometown in Jingzhou to care for the elderly, and it is a good thing that they can enjoy their old age in peace, why should you think so much. As the saying goes, if you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good alone. Today's nobles, let's take care of yourself. After this winter, spring is coming. ”

Ah Xun seemed to be relieved, and said lightly.

After this winter, there are many, many winters to come, they can survive this winter, but what about the winter after that? Is it enough?

Guiren is always such a pessimistic idea, she shook her head, and said worriedly: "If Concubine Ming Niangniang moved her hands and feet at the palace banquet and injured people's lives, and this matter started because of me, how can my conscience be put to rest." Now I can still get through the difficulties in front of me because of the help of Concubine Ming, and survive this winter, so what about the future... There are still a long years ahead for me. ”

Ah Xun was instantly dumbfounded after hearing this, she didn't expect that the noble man was actually thinking about these things now, this is obviously a long, long time later, for Ah Xun, a little girl, it is fortunate to be able to get through the difficulties in front of her, where can I still have the heart to manage the difficulties after a long time.

The nobles still can't let go of it in their hearts, but now they can't go to Minghuatang to ask Concubine Ming, but how can she ask it...

In the dead of night, the nobleman secretly asked Ah Xun to spread the news to Minghuatang, and Xu Lan hurriedly told Concubine Ming after receiving the news.

Lu Huiling had just come back from the Qinzheng Palace, although Qi Bingyu said that he was really angry with her that day, but in the end he was still very pampered, as long as Lu Huiling was a little coquettish, Qi Bingyu loved her as much as he did at the beginning.

And Lu Huiling also changed the previous strategy of dominating Qi Bingyu to the end, but generously persuaded him to be wet with rain and dew, which could not only take care of other concubines who were good with her, but also let Qi Bingyu see that she had really sincerely repented.

Today's Qi Bingyu, with Liang Fengmian and Lu Gaohong helping him manage the government affairs of the Celestial Empire, Xia Rongxin helping to take care of the affairs of the palace, and Lu Huiling by his side amused him and relieved his pressure on government affairs, which is really a blessing of heaven and man.

Lu Huiling didn't want to stay in the Qinzheng Palace, so he came back early, and after just showering and changing, he carefully combed his hair in front of the dresser, looking at his face full of traces of youth.

Lu Huiling imagined countless times that when Qi Jingqin returned to the dynasty in triumph, she stood on the Ming Platform and washed the dust with all the people, Qi Jingqin at that time must have faded away from his former youth and immaturity, and became tenacious, but no matter what it looks like, Lu Huiling will always like him.

Lu Huiling stood up, wearing a thin obscene clothes, with her hair scattered, dancing in the dormitory, imagining that Qi Jingqin in armor was in front of her, and her smile was imprinted in his eyes.

She fantasized that she could dance in front of Qi Jingqin, drink and have fun with him, and finally be able to snuggle together, she lay in Qi Jingqin's arms, and fell asleep together.

Lu Huiling drank some wine when she got up, everyone was drunk if the wine was not drunk, Lu Huiling's cheeks were crimson, and she dismissed everyone, closing the door alone, spinning and jumping in the spacious dormitory with her arms outstretched, her clothes were flying, her ink hair was flying, she was humming a song softly, and her footsteps followed the rhythm of her drums.

At last she sat down in the middle of the chamber, her clothes scattered on the floor, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes as she looked at the golden patterns of the roof.

This prosperous Minghua Hall, this palace built at a cost of tens of thousands of taels of gold, this supreme honor, and this earth-pouring wealth are like a golden wire cage, trapping Lu Huiling inside.

"Qi Jingqin..."Lu Huiling looked at the pattern in the center of the circle, and she muttered to herself, "You take me away..."

Those wines didn't make her intoxicated at all, but when she thought of Qi Jingqin's deep eyes, she was willing to sleep in the crook of his arm forever.

Lu Huiling curled up, holding her legs, looking extremely insecure, she whimpered softly, and whispered Qi Jingqin's name.

It was only at this time that she could be herself for a short time.

"Mother, mother, are you asleep?" As if there was something urgent, Xu Lan knocked lightly on the door and asked.

Xu Lan had just learned the news from Ah Xun, thinking that it was still early, and Concubine Ming might not have rested at this hour, hoping to tell her the good news quickly, but when she saw that all the palace maids who were supposed to be serving in the palace came out, she found out that it was Concubine Ming who asked them to come out.

Worried that something would happen to Concubine Ming, Xu Lan hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door and asked.

Lu Huiling opened her teary eyes, realized that it was Xu Lan who was coming in, and hurriedly sat up, wiped away her tears, and sat back in front of the dressing mirror. ”

Xu Lan pushed the door in when she heard the sound, and saw that Concubine Ming was only wearing thin obscene clothes, and was sitting barefoot in front of the dressing mirror, so she hurriedly went to get a shawl, and said in surprise: "Niangniang, it's freezing this day, you can wear more." ”

As she spoke, Xu Lan put the shawl firmly on Concubine Ming's body.

Lu Huiling didn't turn to look at her, afraid that she would see her crying red eyes, and then she would ask questions again.

"You're in such a hurry to see this palace, but what's the matter?" Lu Huiling stared at himself in the bronze mirror and asked indifferently.

Xu Lan was busy cleaning up the towel and handkerchief used by Concubine Ming at this time, and when she heard Concubine Ming ask this, she realized what she was here for, I have to say, I am old, and I am a little forgetful.

"Look at the slave's memory, I almost forgot it." Xu Lan hurriedly blamed herself, and then hurriedly said, "There is a letter from the noble person of Lanyuan Pavilion, saying that Concubine Mei agreed with the noble person's opinion, and also praised the noble person for saying it well, so she sent someone to do it on the spot." ”

Lu Huiling was stunned for a moment, then laughed, tucked the broken hair on her sideburns, and then said with a smile: "Then Xia Rongxin didn't know that she was kept in the dark." ”

"Listening to Ah Xun talk about the situation at that time, Concubine Mei was still very happy, holding the hand of the nobleman and asking for warmth, but I am afraid that when it happened, she was still in the dark." Xu Lan echoed with a smile.

Lu Huiling smiled contemptuously, and asked again, "Didn't you find out what Yin Zhi had to do with this palace, right?" ”

"No, it's all done in private, and the slaves and maids are very careful that no third person will see it." Xu Lan said solemnly.

"That's good. Now we just need to wait for the arrival of the Chinese New Year's Eve family feast. Lu Huiling smiled with satisfaction.

Now that it has reached the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, it will be Chinese New Year's Eve in a few days, and when it is past Chinese New Year's Eve, the day when the spring flowers bloom, Qi Jingqin will lead the army to beat the Daliang enemy army out of the territory of the Celestial Empire in one fell swoop, and everyone hopes that they can return to the dynasty in triumph as soon as possible.

Other small countries also seem to have predicted this news, seeing that the Celestial Empire army is still so capable of fighting well, they have taken the initiative to make friends with the Celestial Empire, and now according to the customs of the Celestial Empire, when it comes to Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole country celebrates, and they naturally have to bring gifts to the Celestial Empire royal family to celebrate.

In three days, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and envoys sent by other countries also entered Shangjing, and Lord Shang Shushen of the Ministry of Ceremonies personally entertained them, arranged for them to live in the post station, and could be invited into the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve.

The Celestial Empire is in Beijing, a prosperous capital, as if everyone knows that General Liang and King Jing are going to start a battle with Da Liang that can go down in history after the year, and this battle will definitely be won, everyone is cheering for this, and the whole country has an unprecedented sense of security.

Qi Bingyu looked at this scene of all nations coming to the dynasty, and couldn't help but nod approvingly, he took Xia Rongxin's hand beside him, and said: "Concubine Mei has worked hard these days, and she stays until Chinese New Year's Eve..."

Xia Rongxin playfully reached out to cover Qi Bingyu's mouth, and said coquettishly: "The concubine is not hard, this is what the concubine should do, if the emperor says this again, the concubine will be unhappy." ”

Qi Bingyu nodded with a smile, as if he had thought of something, and asked, "I didn't have time to ask a few days ago, and I don't know what interesting program Concubine Mei prepared for today's Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet?" ”

The particularity of this year is obvious to all, and naturally they will also care about what interesting movements are in the palace, but Concubine Mei has done a very good job of secrecy, and few people know about it now.
