The two palace lamps are like shining stars in the night, stretching to an endless place, covered by layers of mist in the faint vastness, as if draped in layers of light veil, and then the wind blows, the palace lamps sway, and Beigong Yu's hands are unexpectedly warm.

"Whose hand is out of the furnace this winter, not like me?"

Xia Xiaoxiao tried hard to pull her hand out, Beigong Yu's grip became tighter and tighter, but it didn't hurt, the temperature from his palm gradually drove away the coolness in her hand, she glared at him, "Beigong Yu, you let go, you look like you're dragging a lazy snake!" ”

Beigong Yu was a little slower, Xia Xiaoxiao was much shorter than him, and she couldn't keep up when she walked, he glanced at her, "Aren't you?" ”

She has always had a lazy snake attitude towards him, and when he touches her, she spits out that flamboyant tongue, and if she doesn't touch her, she hides away, as if he will really eat her.

Xia Xiaoxiao held his hand, but he couldn't move, raised his head and said sullenly, "You are the snake!" Your whole family is snakes! ”

"What presumptuous!"

Beigong Yu bluffed her, but there was no angry look in her deep eyes, Xia Xiaoxiao took it seriously, and explained in a low voice, "Okay, snakes are also a kind of dragon!" ”

After saying that, she saw the faint smile in Beigong Yu's eyes, and she was in a trance, "It's like a ruffian." ”

"The internal training that you have copied these days has been copied in vain."

He didn't want to see her fake appearance, but when Xia Xiaoxiao confronted him everywhere, he always wanted to train her to be obedient and reasonable, in this palace, who dares to call him a scoundrel? Only Xia Xiaoxiao dared to speak so disrespectfully, and when she said a word, she withered down again and didn't dare to make a mistake, and she didn't know how to scold him in her heart, so she felt that it was, Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't follow his heart, but it seemed to follow his heart everywhere.

"It's a blank copy, and it costs paper and ink, instead of letting me copy those unwarranted big truths, it's better to simply reward me with a few boards, and it's better to have a good pain sooner."

Xia Xiaoxiao was angry in her heart, she was not very used to walking on Beigong Yu's side, and wanted to retreat, Beigong Yu looked ahead, a shallow smile appeared on her face, and her fluttering words casually said to Pingshun who was following behind, "Tomorrow, reward her with a few boards." ”

"Beigong Yu, what good can you do to you if you beat and punish me? It also wastes manpower and material resources. ”

She glared at him, seeing that he didn't really intend to hit her, so she was relieved, what Beigong Yu said was sometimes extremely difficult to tell whether it was a joke or not.

"If you are more obedient, and you will not suffer from these flesh and skin, why don't you want to think about whose problem lies?"

Beigong Yu's face was a little colder, Xia Xiaoxiao sometimes really didn't know whether to be stupid or pretending to be stupid, if she was willing to think about it carefully, his so-called punishment for her had never really been heavy.

Xia Xiaoxiao didn't answer again, rubbed her itchy nose, in her opinion, she has clearly been obedient all the time, she has done nothing wrong, and it is indeed true, Beigong Yu is just looking for happiness by himself, taking his own pastime, and when one day he has entertained himself enough, his good days should come, but I don't know what day Beigong Yu is waiting for.

"Ahh

A deep sneeze, and the smoothness behind him was startled.

"So cold."

Beigong Yu stared at her, and hugged her into his warm fox fur cloak without a trace, with a shallow smile in his eyes like a fox, "Let Lu Wuxian come to show you tomorrow." ”

"What's the point of having a quack doctor?"

She struggled twice, and found that Beigong Yu's hand strength was really not something she could match, so she gave up after two strokes, and simply continued to squeeze into his arms, and his fox fur cloak covered her whole body, such a big live stove didn't have to be in vain.

Not long after the night came, the wind became stronger, and the palace maids who held the lamp in front of them all covered the lantern mouth with their hands slightly, for fear that the cold wind would blow out the candles.

She stared at the shadow under her feet quietly, suffering from wind cold, her nose was always blocked, she couldn't help but start thinking again, if it stopped at this time, would he take those non-bitter and sweet decoctions to treat her wind and cold?

Distracted, the Lingyun Palace, which was a long distance away, had arrived unconsciously, as soon as she entered the hall, the temperature in the room made people feel happy, she got out of the cloak, Beigong Yu went straight around the screen and walked inside, Pingshun glanced at her, Xia Xiaoxiao followed him sensibly, stepped forward to untie the thick fox fur on Beigong Yu's body, Pingshun took it carefully and immediately lowered his head and asked Beigong Yu, "Your Majesty, are you going to rest first tonight?" ”

"Hmm."

He replied casually, lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on Xia Xiaoxiao's slender but somewhat reddened hands, raised his hands, and said lightly, "Go on." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao just wanted to withdraw the hand and put it on his chest to untie his clothes, in fact, the time at this moment is not too late, at this time in the past, Beigong Yu is usually still in front of the bookcase, either commenting on the fold or reading the book, she has come to Lingyun Hall for such a while, she has almost never seen Beigong Yu rest so early.

It's okay to serve him to sleep earlier, so that he can go back to sleep, in the winter, there is no place as comfortable as the bed.

Behind Beigong Yu is his six-foot-wide brocade velvet soft couch, the blanket is wrapped with silver silk embroidered with silver silk silk begonias, and the half-shading drapes are also tattooed with the same color, unlike Xia Xiaoxiao, Beigong Yu's robe is very little, only two inside and outside, the palace maids quickly brought hot water up, he sat on the edge of the bed, Xia Xiaoxiao tried the water temperature, and then took off his shoes and put his feet in.

"Your Majesty, I don't know which lady you need to send to sleep tonight?"

Pingshun looked at Xia Xiaoxiao, who was squatting to wash Beigong Yu's feet, and asked softly, several palace maids behind him came up, holding fan-shaped purple wood trays, and stood in a row in front of him, before they came back from the imperial garden.

Xia Xiaoxiao's eyes couldn't help but sweep up, and the whole four or five palace maids were holding trays in their hands, and some small tokens of the ladies of each palace were placed on them one by one, including sachets, bracelets, hairpins, and in winter, there were people holding fans to make tokens.

There are so many people in the harem, most of the masters of those things in the tray have never been seen by Beigong Yu, the so-called rain and dew are evenly wet, he can't come and go to serve him with a few concubines, and among so many things, Beigong Yu looks at which one he likes, so he will be summoned by Pingshun to the master of that thing, if you want to be summoned, you have to look at the luck of that person, and you have to see that someone blows the wind in Beigong Yu's ears.

Beigong Yu didn't even lift his eyes, his feet flicked lightly in the water, and the water droplets splashed on Xia Xiaoxiao's face, "I'm tired, you can choose." ”

"It's dirty."

Xia Xiaoxiao wiped his face with his sleeve in disgust, got up and walked to the trays, carefully selected, and took a square handkerchief, on which were embroidered with a pair of green and green mandarin ducks, "This, the emperor, look, this mandarin duck is well embroidered, it must be a virtuous lady." ”

Virtuous, gentle, according to Xia Yingxi, Beigong Yu should be pleased with such a woman, if he is happy with the concubine who sleeps tonight, then she can go back to the house early to rest, and it is not her turn to serve him tea and pour water in the middle of the night.

"Waiter, what do you want to be virtuous?"

Pingshun had already brought the water down, and Beigong Yu was already lying on the bed, staring at her half-asleep.

Xia Xiaoxiao put the handkerchief back again, she forgot, maybe this handkerchief was embroidered with an upside-down phoenix, Beigong Yu took a fancy to it, he needed someone to warm up with him tonight.

"Then this, the incense in the cigarette bottle smells good, so that you can sleep soundly at night."

With a flattering smile on her face, she chose a snuff bottle, which seemed to have a soothing incense in it, and she could smell it on the tip of her nose.

"What do you do with the sleeping attendants when you fall asleep?"

Beigong Yu stared at her serious appearance, and his heart began to fill up again, and said in a muffled voice.

Xia Xiaoxiao was patient, "Rouge, she should be a lady who will please the emperor." ”

"I hate the smell of rouge, change it."

Beigong Yu looked bored, twisted his eyebrows, and simply turned his back and lay on his side, knowing that he shouldn't let Xia Xiaoxiao pick it, why did he forget that Xia Xiaoxiao was now wishing for other women to please him? The better his relationship with others, the more comfortable Xia Xiaoxiao will look at!

Xia Xiaoxiao also frowned, came and went, and began to get impatient, she was not satisfied with the pick, why not pick it yourself? Which one do you like, her eyes moved, and she stopped on the tray on the very edge, the red ones, neatly stacked, Xia Xiaoxiao walked over and spread them out, and the whole person's eyes were straight, I have to say, these concubines of Beigong Yu are a little bolder.

She smiled at the corner of her eyes, put things neatly in her palms and came to the edge of the bed, lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, you must like this lady." ”

Beigong Yu asked people to come to bed, didn't he just want to be happy in bed? The concubine who even dared to take this thing must be very unrestrained!

Although Xia Xiaoxiao tried her best to hold back a smile, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise and fell into Beigong Yu's eyes, Beigong Yu pulled the things in her hand, and then she saw clearly that what Xia Xiaoxiao brought to him was the belly pocket used by women!

"Xia Xiaoxiao! What the hell did you choose for me! ”

Beigong Yu sat up suddenly, her face suddenly turned blue, and the thin piece of fabric in her hand fell into her face with his anger!

"The emperor doesn't know? This thing is ......"

She squatted down and picked up the things, and before the words fell, the whole person was dragged to the bed by Beigong Yu, and the red cloth that Ben picked up fell to the foot of the bed flutteringly.

"Beigong Yu, if you let me choose me, I will choose, and I am not a roundworm in your stomach, how do I know what kind of woman you want to sleep with?"

In fact, she just played a little joke on him, who knew that he suddenly reacted so much?

"I wish you were roundworms!" He clasped her, and a pair of eyes shot sharply at Pingshun, "Who sent this thing?" ”

Pingshun knelt down with the palace maids holding the tray in unison, "Back to the emperor, it's Jing Jieyu from the Scarlet Palace." ”

"Send the cold palace!"

Without raising his head, he shook off a vicious word, and turned his eyes to stare at Xia Xiaoxiao, "Pass it on, I'm tired tonight, no one needs to come over!" ”

Complied with a sound, glanced at the bed, and his eyes fell on the red floating to the foot of the bed, wanting to pick it up, but he didn't dare to go forward to pick it up, two days ago, Beigong Yu often ran to Jing Jieyu's scarlet palace, praising Jing Jieyu's bold and careful, and pleasing temperament regardless of details, seeing that it won't be long before the grade will follow this pet, who knows that today is just Xia Xiaoxiao's hand trembling, what is not good, you have to pick one so embarrassing, or, who can't pick well? She had to pick it up and give it to Beigong Yu, and now, Jing Jieyu didn't know how she was beaten into the cold palace.

With a wave of his hand, the people in the hall retreated quietly with him, and let it lie at the foot of the bed.

"Actually, that Jing Jieyu just wants you to be happy, and she didn't commit any major crimes, why did you send people to the cold palace? How eye-catching is this thing to put in that pile of rouge objects? ”

People retreated, only she and Beigong Yu were left in the hall, she pushed him away, she bent down again to pick up the belly pocket, I had heard from the old bustard in the Red Mansion, the bed sheet, the men were happy to be a woman bold, and the hypocrisy made the men not happy enough, of course, there are also some men who like that kind of hypocrisy, but obviously Beigong Yu does not belong to this breed of men, so what is he angry about?

"Don't pick it up!"

He roared again, Xia Xiaoxiao took back the hand that was stretched out, and knelt on the bed in a regular manner, anyway, it was not hers, and she didn't feel anything if she threw it on the ground, looking at Beigong Yu's really green face, she could see that he was gritting his teeth and hating her, but fortunately, the minions in the palace all retreated, and Beigong Yu always yelled at her at every turn, which made her feel that she was embarrassed in front of those palace maids and couldn't raise her head.

The hall was filled with the smell of ambergris, and the shadow of the weak weeping begonia flower cast on the curtain shook slightly on his face, as if there were living flowers on his face, but now, even the appearance of the flower seemed to be angry.

Beigong Yu stared at her for a long time, without saying a word, and the anger on his face did not decrease, but the dark eyes seemed to be coated with a layer of faintness, and with the candlelight at the head of the bed, it seemed that there was also a small firelight jumping.

"Your Majesty, let's rest."

Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't stand it, Beigong Yu only stared at her, she was uncomfortable, moved her eyes to the screen behind him without a trace, straightened up and took off the golden crown that tied his hair.

"With such thick skin, what are you flustering about?"

He pulled her hand to his chest, Xia Xiaoxiao leaned forward, and put his other hand against the edge of the bed, so as not to fall on Beigong Yu.

"Don't panic, didn't the emperor say that he was tired."

She was calm, meeting his eyes, cold, but as if there was a flame in its depths, as if it would charm the mind, and between two breaths, she couldn't help but move away again.

His lips were slightly raised and about to be overturned, Xia Xiaoxiao's eyes widened suddenly, and he hurriedly dodged back, a trace of cunning light flashed in the corner of Beigong Yu's eyes, and the hand holding her suddenly let go, and without support Xia Xiaoxiao fell down in all directions, she exclaimed, Beigong Yu stared at her like a monkey playing, and laughed lowly, "Why are you hiding without panic?" ”

"Didn't hide! Hand slippery! ”

Xia Xiaoxiao was angry and wanted to get up, but Beigong Yu took a step ahead of her, but half a foot away, her eyes looked at her with a little more smile than before, and her hand unceremoniously reached into her clothes, "Xiao Xia'er, I am happy to serve me today, and I will be a concubine tomorrow." ”

"Who is rare!"

She dodged his presumptuous palm, pushed him hard, but there was no movement, and then pushed, using the force to feed, but still no movement, she raised her eyes, "Beigong Yu, what did you eat to grow up?" How can it be so heavy! ”

It was a big rebellion, but Beigong Yu didn't feel much uncomfortable listening to it at this time, his eyes turned into a shallow smile arc, and he replied with a low smile, "You." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao's face turned red, annoyed and angry, he said that she was cheeky, but Beigong Yu couldn't be described as cheeky anymore, she was shameless!

Before the words of the scolding could be blurted out, in the quarrel, no one could hear the movement, and a figure hurriedly came in outside the screen,

"Your Majesty, the Iron Cavalry Guard has a ...... away"

Wuxi, who came in, blurted out the words on the tip of his tongue, Beigong Yu shot a sharp gaze, and Wuxi saw Xia Xiaoxiao's figure on the bed, with a panicked face, and immediately knelt down on half a knee, "The emperor forgives you!" ”

"Lord Chuanji, the Imperial Study is discussing."

Beigong Yu got up quickly, took his coat off the coat, glanced at Xia Xiaoxiao, who had sat up on the bed, and strode out.

Wuxi glanced at Xia Xiaoxiao, gritted his teeth in annoyance, and followed Beigong Yu out of Lingyun Palace.

One after the other, but in a few breaths, Xia Xiaoxiao also jumped out of bed, and wanted to follow up with three steps and two steps, but Pingshun led several guards to appear at the door and stopped her, "The emperor has an order, there is no order, girl, you can't take a step out of Lingyun Palace." ”

Beigong Yu's figure walked away in just a few snaps of his fingers, Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at a few guards at the door, swept to the window in the hall out of the corner of his eye, and the smooth voice appeared in his ear to remind him, "Don't think about it, there are people guarding it, the girl will rest early tonight, and she will continue to serve the emperor tomorrow morning." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao looked at the direction in which Beigong Yu's figure disappeared, and frowned tightly, Wuxi didn't know that she was in Lingyun Palace, and said that she had leaked her mouth, Beigong Yu was afraid that there was news of a stop, he didn't even have time to change his clothes, so urgently sent someone to the imperial study to discuss matters, didn't something happen to him?

Obviously, Beigong Yu didn't want her to know the news about Luozhi.

Seeing that she still had no intention of going back to the house, Ping Shun had to remind him again, Xia Xiaoxiao stared at him angrily, turned around and slammed the door of Lingyun Hall shut.

Blowing out the candle lights in the hall, then went back to his small room, the candle was extinguished, and a small crack was slightly opened in the window facing the main hall, trying to wait for Beigong Yu to come back to be able to eavesdrop a sentence or two, but she was anxious to guard in front of the window all night, and she didn't see Beigong Yu come back.

On the second day, it wasn't until the time of the previous dynasty was almost up that he opened the door of Lingyun Hall with a half-awake and half-asleep appearance, and Pingshun still guarded the door, as if he hadn't slept all night, but his mental strength was not much worse.

"What about the emperor? When the time of the court came, the emperor did not return last night, and the slave maid sent two pieces of clothes to the emperor. ”

Saying that, she was holding the bright yellow jacket in her hand and wanted to go out, Pingshun stepped forward to stop her again, as soon as she moved, the guards behind Pingshun blocked the door with the handle of the knife, "In the morning, the Sprinkle family let people send their clothes to the emperor, the emperor rarely gives you a holiday, you are so resting." ”

The little padded jacket that Fang was still holding cautiously in the palm of his hand turned into garbage in his hand in an instant, and threw it on Pingshun's face without mercy, and then, there was another door knock.

"Rest, rest your uncle!"

The angry scolding came from the other side of the door without concealing it, and the liver trembled with a few guards.

For three days in a row, Beigong Yu never returned to Lingyun Hall for a moment, and Xia Xiaoxiao never stepped out of Lingyun Hall for a moment.

Ping Shun sent her away three or two times, "The emperor was not in Lingyun Hall a few days ago, so let's send it in a few days." ”

Ye Qiuyu was displeased on his face, but he didn't say anything, turned around and walked back, and after walking two steps, he caught a glimpse of Xia Xiaoxiao who was looking out of the window with his chin propped up at the withered vine branches.

She walked slowly to Xia Xiaoxiao's window, swept the entire Lingyun Hall at a glance, and finally stopped at her face and stared at her, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, as if sneering, as if mocking, "This cage is really small." ”

Behind her were two maids, one of whom was holding a wine jar in his hand, not far away, Xia Xiaoxiao could smell the aroma of wine wafting from it, Xia Xiaoxiao just wanted to remind her if the wine jar was not closed, for fear of running away from the smell of wine, Pingshun hurried over with a small face, and couldn't care about Ye Qiuyu's expression, covered Xia Xiaoxiao's window, turned his head and urged, "Guifei Niangniang, please go back." ”

"Hmph, dog minion."

Ye Qiuyu said lightly, led the two maids out of the Lingyun Hall leisurely, and glanced back smoothly, the window was opened by Xia Xiaoxiao at some point, she sniffed the lingering aroma of wine in the air with fascination, and said lazily, "Is Beigong Yu not in the palace." ”

"The emperor has his own reasons for doing this."

Pingshun wanted to reach out and close the window again, but this time Xia Xiaoxiao was held up with her hand from the inside, and her breathing was a little rapid due to nervousness, "Did he catch it!" ”

"In this world, there is no end. Everything she sees, hears, thinks and thinks, how much can Miss Xia distinguish between truth and falsehood? Pingshun's hand paused, and he didn't dare to push too hard, for fear of sandwiching Xia Xiaoxiao's hand between the gaps, "The Sprinkle family has followed the emperor for so many years, but it is the first time to see the emperor treat a person like this, instead of reading that person repeatedly, it is better to think about the emperor's kindness to you." ”

Pingshun's words were said by staring at Xia Xiaoxiao's eyes, and at the end, he looked away, he thought that if he said this so seriously, Xia Xiaoxiao would definitely be able to listen to it, but Xia Xiaoxiao's eyebrows tightened.

Pingshun's words did not answer her directly, but made her heart more and more uneasy, even if Beigong Yu caught Luozhi, what reason did he have to hide it from himself?
