Coming to the gate, Zhong Yuqi held the skirt in both hands and crossed the threshold, and Qiu Shi supported Zhong Yuqi's arm on the side.

Seeing this, Xiao Yulin also stretched out a hand to hold Zhong Yuqi's arm. Zhong Yuqi only glanced sideways at Xiao Yulin's hand, and there was nothing more, and Xiao Yulin's heart was a little more comfortable.

Out of the gate, due to the acumen of his profession, Zhong Yuqi turned his head to look to the right, but saw Bai Mufeng standing at the corner of the wall not far away.

Xiao Yulin saw what Zhong Yuqi was looking at, so he also turned his face sideways and looked to the right hand, but he didn't see anything.

"What are you looking at?" Xiao Yulin asked.

Zhong Yuqi turned his head again and said lightly: "It's nothing!" ”

There is a luxury carriage parked at the gate, a vermilion lacquer carriage, carved with dragons and phoenixes, inlaid with gold and jade, and four horse-drawn carriages in front.

Zhao Ze'an led a few guards to head high, and there were also a few guards on horseback behind the carriage. On the left and right of the carriage were several accompanying servants, and two of them were still holding gifts sent to the palace.

Even if the first emperor is not there, Xiao Yuhong still retains Xiao Yulin's honor guard, lest the Empress Dowager Zhao want his gossip again.

When he saw that the main owner had come out, he hurriedly carried the ladder and put it in front of the carriage.

Zhong Yuqi looked left and right, and there were no other carriages or sedan chairs. Looking at the dragon and phoenix ornaments on the carriage, I know that I can't sit on it with my own identity.

Therefore, Zhong Yuqi said to Xiao Yulin: "Lord Wang, do you want me to ride in the same carriage with you?" ”

Xiao Yulin was slightly puzzled and said, "Yes?" Is there anything wrong? ”

Zhong Yuqi glanced at the carriage and said, "This dragon and phoenix ornament can only be enjoyed by the emperor and queen, and I don't dare to give it to others." ”

Xiao Yulin smiled and said, "This king is a prince, and he has the right to enjoy the dragon and phoenix ornaments!" This is the king's carriage, and you are the king's guest, so why can't you sit with the king? There is only one carriage in the Ruiwang Mansion, if you take a sedan chair, I am afraid that you will miss the hour. ”

Afterwards, Xiao Yulin approached Zhong Yuqi again and said, "When you become Princess Rui in the future, you can also enjoy the dragon and phoenix ornaments." The difference is that the color of this dragon and phoenix pattern is different from that of the emperor and queen. ”

Since this is the case, Zhong Yuqi is not a hypocritical person, just sit down!

Qiu Shi helped Zhong Yuqi into the carriage, and there was a fight to open the curtain.

As a slave, Qiu Shi is not qualified to enter the carriage. After helping Zhong Yuqi into the carriage, Qiu Shi stood on the side of the carriage.

Xiao Yulin got into the carriage by himself, lowered the curtain, and Ma Liu stood on the side of the carriage.

There was only a soft couch on the inside of the carriage, and Zhong Yuqi sat on the side.

Because he was sitting, the cloak in front of his body couldn't cover it, revealing a big opening, and Zhong Yuqi's hands were crossed on his legs.

After Xiao Yulin came up, he didn't sit aside, and sat directly in the middle, only a fist away from Zhong Yuqi.

There is no charcoal basin in the carriage, because it is not good to place fire utensils in it, for fear that sparks will splash out. And Xiao Yulin didn't think in advance that Zhong Yuqi didn't bring a hand warmer out, and there was no hand warmer prepared here.

Xiao Yulin said to Zhong Yuqi: "It's a little cold here, this king asked someone to send a few hand warmers!" ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "Lord, it's not too early, let's go to the palace early!" If the time is missed, the prince is fine, and I am the one who has something. ”

Xiao Yulin had to order: "Let's go!" ”

Ma Liu sang: "Let's go! ”

The carriage walked along the alleyway to the east, and when it was on the street, it turned to the palace to the north.

A path has been swept out of the street, and the shops on both sides are either hanging or pasted with some red.

Today is the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, and there are still many people walking around the streets, and there are many vendors setting up stalls on the snow. After noon, the vendors will go home for the New Year.

Zhong Yuqi lifted the curtains and looked outside, but didn't see anyone following.

Xiao Yulin said to Zhong Yuqi: "In previous years, when it didn't snow during the Chinese New Year, this morning was very lively on this street. This year, the snow fell late, and it came so fast and so heavily that many people couldn't get out and move. ”

Zhong Yuqi lowered the curtain and said nothing.

Xiao Yulin said again: "At night, fireworks will be set off in the capital, when the time comes, let's come out and have a look?" ”

Zhong Yuqi said lightly: "I'm tired of watching." ”

Xiao Yulin was quite surprised and said, "What? You've been out a lot before? No...... Impossible, right? ”

Zhong Yuqi only said: "You don't have to come out to see it." ”

Xiao Yulin nodded thoughtfully and said, "It's too!" You have a window there, and you can see it when you stand next to it. ”

Xiao Yulin exhaled heavily again and said, "This king remembers that on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve that year, this king came out of the palace early, and then went to your mansion and took you out. We went out on the streets together for a long time until someone in your house came looking for us. Just once. Now that we're all grown up, we can do what we want to do. You have been in Ruiwangfu for so long, and you have rarely gone out, and you have never gone out at night. It's lively outside tonight, let's go out for a walk and relive the good memories of our childhood! ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "The prince still has a banquet in the palace at night, and the banquet is over, and it is very late. ”

Xiao Yulin said: "It's like this every year, this king won't stay in the palace for a long time." What is there to do in the palace? It's better to go out on the street and have fun! There are many people on the street, and the more people there are, the more people it is! ”

Zhong Yuqi was silent.

The Chinese New Year is indeed a festive thing, and when she didn't go on a mission before, she would celebrate the New Year alone.

It's just that the prospect of entering the palace this time is unknown, and she doesn't know if she can come out. Or, after leaving the palace, does she still have the heart to celebrate the New Year.

Xiao Yulin looked sideways at Zhong Yuqi, saw the thoughts on her face, and reached out to grab one of Zhong Yuqi's hands, and said, "No matter what happens, there is this king by your side!" Before, it was the king who could not. Now, the king will protect you as much as he can! ”

Zhong Yuqi didn't pin all her hopes on Xiao Yulin, in vain, she just saw that Xiao Yulin still had some use value for her now. Otherwise, she would dump him?

Seeing Xiao Yulin grabbing her hand, Zhong Yuqi pulled her hand back. However, Xiao Yulin grabbed it tightly this time, and Zhong Yuqi couldn't withdraw his hand if he tried hard.

Secretly struggling, Zhong Yuqi looked at Xiao Yulin, but only saw the solemnity on Xiao Yulin's face.

Wrong! Xiao Yulin's temperament is biased towards literati, even if he has practiced some fist and foot kung fu when he was a man, it is not as good as her, a person who has practiced formally! Why, she couldn't take her hand back?
