In the third year of Heisei, in winter, the snow was wrapped in cold and silence, quietly taking away the vitality of the entire imperial city, leaving only a place of silver and gloom.

Chu Bing leaned on the railing, his face full of tiredness that had not been stained by the wind and frost at all.

Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, but in this palace, except for the sound of the wind and the sound of snow falling, there is not even a little lively atmosphere.

The little maid stood next to her, looking innocent.

It's been three years since the system left.

Three years can change a lot of things, her husband has become the current saint, she has become a queen from the crown princess, her children have become the first princess, and even Chu Wenyan has also sat in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

The orphanage she had built with all her heart and soul was crushed by a sudden snowstorm when she was pregnant for ten months, and most of the children left behind died of illness in the cold night two years ago.

"Queen Mother, it's not too early, you should rest." The little palace maid beside her lowered her head with a double bun, and carefully served the queen who was said to have a bad temper.

When Chu Bing heard this, he turned back indifferently,

She sighed, stretched out her hand, stroked the maid's face twice with her cold fingers, and suddenly laughed: "Are you afraid of me? ”

Although she has been queen for three years, she is still not used to calling herself by the palace, and she always calls herself "me" unless necessary. For this reason, Li Yuxi said that she didn't know how many times, but she never changed.

The maid shook her head again and again, saying that she didn't dare, but the constantly trembling body exposed the horror she was hiding in her heart.

Chu Bing sneered. She is most disgusted with such a subordinate, and she cares about her net worth and life on a person who has nothing to do with her, and she has no backbone at all.

Chu Bing thought about the origin of this maid, and the daughter of the county magistrate of Luoxian became more and more a little bit

"What about Your Majesty? Where will you stay tonight? Chu Bing asked nonchalantly.

Where did the maid know the whereabouts of the saint today, she shook her head again and again, and said that she didn't know.

Chu Bing's heart was cold, he was just afraid that he would stay at Concubine Jing again tonight, right?

From the beginning of Yuxi's repeated claims to love her and her Meng is not out of focus, to the current dislike of each other, it only took three years.

In the past three years, he always said that he was not the same as in the past, and he had to balance many things and be considerate of him. Yes, I am considerate, but what about after understanding?

Chu Bing suddenly remembered what his sisters had said to him in the past, he couldn't understand it at that time, but now he understood it.

Seeing Chu Bing's cold face for a while, the maid smiled for a while, and her heart became more and more afraid, and she didn't dare to say anything, and even her body trembled involuntarily.

Chu Bing finally came back to her senses, she glanced at the maid lightly, put her hand on her wrist, and said in a lazy voice: "Go back." ”

When the maid heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly helped Chu Bing back to the palace.

Chu Bing is no longer favored, in the end, his identity is there, and he can't be insulted casually.

In her bedroom, the carbon fire is very strong, and it is as warm as spring.

But Chu Bing didn't feel the warmth at all, she only felt a chill spreading from the bottom of her heart, eroding from the soles of her feet to her bones, and then spreading up little by little along the cracks of her bones, enveloping her entire body.

The maid hurriedly fetched a soup woman who had been prepared for Chu Bing a long time ago, and said, "Queen Mother, the cold outside is too heavy. You take this thing to warm your hands first, and then you can rest when the slave and maid warm the bed again, right? ”

Chu Bing took the soup woman from the maid's hand, held it in his arms, and watched the maid's actions gracefully. Seeing half of it, he suddenly asked, "What about Xiaoqi?" ”

Liqi, she and Liyuxi's children are very favored, but they are much smoother than her mother.

The maid replied: "Her Royal Highness the princess was carried by the nurse to the side hall to rest, do you want to go and see?" ”

Chu Bing shook his head and sat down on the chair on the side.

Xu was too cold and lonely on such a night, and Chu Bing didn't sit for long before he had the desire to speak again. This time she didn't ask about herself anymore, but asked the maid, where she came from and why she came.

The maid felt strange, but because of Chu Bing's identity, she still responded honestly: "The slave maid is from Luo County, and she is the youngest daughter of the county order. Because His Majesty wanted to pick a draft girl, he was able to enter Beijing. ”

"My father's official rank is not high, so he can't enter the eyes of the family. only then did he fall into the selection and became a subordinate. ”

Chu Bing asked her, "What's your name?" ”

"Hui Niangniang, the slave's surname is Cai, and the small character Qingxi."

Cai Qingxi, gurgling water, from top to bottom, only flows Qingxi. That's a good name. Chu Bing secretly praised himself in his heart.

Cai Qingxi thought that Chu Bing had some orders, so she had been waiting beside her, but she waited for a long time and couldn't hear Cai Qingxi's orders. She was a little curious, so she raised her eyes and looked over. But this look made her hold her breath and not dare to disturb.

The candlelight is like daylight, and the reflected Chu Bing's skin is more and more like condensed fat, and his cheeks are like peach blossoms. The long eyelashes lightly cover the crystal eyes, and the starlight shatters into the Milky Way. Tall and pretty nose, lips are not self-pointed, and they forget the vulgar.

"No, nothing." Cai Qingxi was woken up by a word, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at her again. It's just that I'm still worried in my heart, no wonder His Majesty is obsessed with her to this day, she is such a stunning beauty, which makes people remember it after watching it.

"So what do you see? But what's not contaminated? Chu Bing raised his hand and touched his cheek, it was wet and slippery, but there were a lot of water marks.

Isn't it, crying?

Such an idea has just emerged, so don't Chu Bing forcibly extinguish it. How can it be? How could she cry?

Cai Qingxi hurriedly said: "It should be that the talented lady has been outside for too long, and now that she has returned to this warm house, the snow on her face has melted." ”

As she spoke, she took a square handkerchief for Chu Bing, carefully wiped the snow off her face, and then said, "Now that the bed is warm, do you want to rest?" ”

"That's it, let's rest." Chu Bing thought for a long time before nodding lightly.

"Yes, sissy."

Cai Qingxi was relieved after answering these words, stepped forward to remove the hairpin on Chu Bing's head, changed into a gorgeous dress, and after serving Chu Bing to sleep, he blew out the candles, carefully covered the temple door, stepped on the snow, and left.

Chu Bing lay in the warm quilt, and slowly closed his eyes, if you don't stay here, you have a place to stay, since this imperial city has no place for yourself, why should you force it to stay?
