Yue Tang smiled comfortably this time: "How can you be more sure that he is still alive if he doesn't come back?" The more they wary me and coax me for not being able to do anything, the more they prove that he is alive and cannot be controlled by them. ”

Although it is a kind of relief in the gloomy struggle, this comfort is from the heart.

Bai Xue sighed with her: "In the next life, I will be reincarnated in an ordinary family, and I will wander the rivers and lakes with my sister!" ”

"Okay." Yue Tang laughed, "But in that case, you won't be able to meet him." She looked out the window, as if looking at the frost and snow in Lanxi, "Life is really - gains and losses are accompanied, blessings and misfortunes are far away"

After returning to Beijing for more than a month, he received a group of big officials who came to congratulate him in the new mansion, and received gifts so that the treasure pavilion in the house could not be piled up, and was invited to one banquet after another.

Yue Tang only occasionally went to the court, and he didn't hear Yue Bai's urging, and the saint still had no objections, and from time to time he ordered her to enter the palace to accompany her, but it was just some idle things such as appreciating flowers and tasting tea, competing with martial arts, and appreciating the selection of new palace leaders, and was recommended by the saint to many children of the family as male concubines.

Yue Tang is undoubtedly the biggest celebrity in front of the saint today, everyone thinks that her future is limitless, especially she is a woman, everyone speculates that the saint wants to vigorously promote women as officials, so the reward for Yue Tang is thick and heavy, and it also opens a precedent for her to have a male concubine, and it is a great disapproval.

Yue Tang was smiling every time, with smugness and arrogance at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, and he never stopped spending money. Only Bai knew that every late at night, after the maids and servants retreated outside the house, Yue Tang would look out of the window alone and lose her mind, she would always look out quietly for a long, long time before she went to sleep, but she would not be able to sleep for a long, long time. Every few Hantan would jump in from the window in the middle of the night, and at that time Yue Tang's distracted eyes had some brilliance, but often fell into distraction after hearing that Hantan "still has no news of Xue Huaigongzi".

The plums pickled by Xue Huai, the wine brewed, and the other foods prepared by Yue Tang, Yue Tang ate them all very slowly, very slowly. Maybe I only let Bai take it out once every few or half a month, and only take out a little bit at a time, while not allowing Bai to eat for nothing, and let Bai drink two cups with him. Lao Bai will most of the time to stay nearby at this time, but occasionally he will have a drink with them. The three of them didn't say much, but they would laugh out loud at the occasional things that only they understood, and the maids and servants who served nearby didn't understand it very well, but no one dared to ask.

On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Yue Mansion came to invite Yue Tang to return to the mansion to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together, Yue Tang refused, and at the same time sent someone to invite Yue Bai to observe the New Year, she knew that Yue Bai's such a straight person would definitely accompany Yue Rong to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Most of the maids and servants in the mansion were released by Yue Tang to reunite with their families, and some of the people left behind were also sent by her to eat stoves, and only two or three of them were guarding near her to listen to her orders, and they stood far away according to her orders.

Yue Bai came very early, and calculated that he might have come out of the mansion just after eating, which surprised Yue Tang. Yue Bai didn't have much to do, he brought a lot of gifts to Yue Tang, and the maids and servants who were still left in the house were rewarded, and even Lao Baibai gave gifts, and the specifications were slightly higher than those of other maids and servants, but they still didn't ask where they came from and experience. After that, he walked to Yue Tang, who was swinging in the courtyard, sat on the bamboo bench near her, and watched the snow fall in the courtyard with her, fluttering and sprinkling, and there seemed to be no end.

Yue Bai watched with Yue Tang for a while, and said, "I will go back to the southwest in the next year." ”
