Chapter 154: Winter Warmth

Xue Yi passed by the Jianhui Garden and was attracted by the sound inside, but walked in but saw that the flowers were in full bloom in the Jinghui Garden, and the fragrance of the flowers was wanton like spring! At this time, it is the cold winter wax moon, although there is no snow but it is also cold and abnormal, just when Xue Yi was surprised, he was forcibly blocked by two palace maids dressed in palace clothes, and the two begged hard to say that they were waiting here at the will of the prince, Xue Yi asked which prince and palace maid but couldn't say why.

These days, in order to make Xue Yi happy, Emperor Cheng has tried to find a way, Xue Yi only said that it was a trick played by Emperor Cheng again, and asked Liu Nong to help her go back to the house.

As soon as the two of them walked to the door, a delicate voice sounded behind them: "Even if the princess doesn't pity these two girls, isn't she even curious about why the weather in this wax moon makes the flowers bloom?" ”

Xue Yi turned around and looked at a woman wearing red fox fur standing in front of the two palace maids, this woman seemed to be dressed a little strangely, as for where it was strange Xue Yi couldn't say for a while, but she felt a little sassy outside of the beauty, wearing a vermilion dress, lined with a face white and red, curved eyebrows, big eyes staring at Xue Yi with a smile, Xue Yi looked at the eyes, looking at the woman in red with a green silk just held it with a bamboo hairpin, and suddenly understood where the weirdness was, This woman is dressed and does not see her identity, neither like a master nor a slave!

Xue Yi glanced at the peonies blooming on both sides with the corner of her eyes, and smiled faintly: "It's just a fake flower made of fine silk and high-quality tobacco yarn, and then sprinkle the floral fragrance powder collected in the summer on the stamens of the fake flower, what's so strange and beautiful?" ”

The woman Wanfu smiled and said, "Princess Yu is really smart. ”

Liu Nong's mouth was fast, remembering the story of Xue Yi in the past who had made the back garden bloom overnight, and couldn't help pouting: "How can the carving insect skill be enough, my princess has already tried to bloom overnight!" ”

"Liu Nong, Hugh is rude!" Xue Yi was busy drinking Liu Nong, Liu Nong stuck out her tongue and kept silent, the woman in red stared at Xue Yi and said slowly: "Yes, the princess also helped the prince of Yu to make the back garden bloom overnight in winter. ”

Xue Yi looked at the eyes of the woman in red, and suddenly her heart moved: "Dare to ask this girl's surname?" Wherefore did it come to my palace? What's the matter? ”

The woman in red hurriedly curtled her knees and replied: "The princess can call the slave Xiaohong, Xiaohong was strictly ordered by my master to invite the princess to talk about it." ”

Xue Yi saw that the flowers made of smoke and yarn looked like her technique that day, and she was curious, so she nodded and followed Xiaohong into the courtyard.

Liu Nong had long been curious, and saw that Xue Yi promised to lead the way in front of him, and walked side by side with Xiaohong.

Xiaohong stood outside the door and bowed to a back figure in the room: "The slave is fortunate not to be dishonored, the princess has been invited." ”

Xue Yi looked at the back curiously, wearing a silver robe, covered with cyan mink shoulders, in the cold winter, he didn't even wear a hat, just a hosta to hold the black hair, Xue Yi looked at this slightly thin back curiously, and saw at a glance that this person was not the emperor!

"But I don't know who the Venerable Driver is? Why did you come to my palace? And why did this Jinghui Garden bloom all at once? Xue Yi lightly opened her lips, and her voice was like a flute.

The man turned around slowly, with a faint smile on his delicate face, and bowed deeply to Xue Yi: "Xiao Ke has never allowed the princess to dress up Jinghui Garden without authorization, and I hope that the princess will forgive her sins!" ”

"It turned out to be the fifth son, and the survivors have seen the fifth son." Only then did Xue Yi realize that the original person was Xiao Yichen's best friend and fifth son.

The fifth prince suddenly appeared on the day of Xiao Yichen's burial, he cried all the way with filial piety, Xue Yi still remembered that Emperor Cheng saw the moment the fifth prince looked very nervous and ugly, Xue Yi carefully interrogated, the fifth prince answered like a stream, how he and Xiao Yichen made friends in the country of the wind dance, how to become a close friend clearly, the fifth prince said that he was sad, and asked Emperor Cheng to testify, Emperor Cheng also nodded yes, since then, the two families have become friends, from time to time, but Xue Yi's identity is embarrassing, rarely meet.

The fifth prince was busy and polite: "Mrs. Sister-in-law is weak, so sit in the house for a while." ”

Xue Yi walked into the house, only to find that the house was as warm as spring, and couldn't help but be surprised: "This winter in Jianhui Garden is so warm?" I don't know how the fifth son did it? ”

The fifth prince smiled: "This is the warm spring brought back by the younger brother from the country of the wind and dance, which has played a role." “

"Oh? I don't know what a warm spring day is? Is that all these beads? Xue Yi looked around curiously, and suddenly found that there was suddenly a circle of red beads around the beams, and these beads were shining like a little sun!

The fifth prince nodded: "Sister-in-law has good eyesight!" “

The two of them sat down, you said that he was gossiping, the fifth prince said a lot of his past with Xiao Yichen in the country of the wind dance, Xue Yi sighed, remembering the past like a dream, the fifth prince comforted Xue Yi for a while, seeing that the time was not early, he was about to get up and leave, Du Ruo ran over in a panic, and just walked into the door and exclaimed: "Wow, so beautiful and fragrant!" “

Xue Yi stood up and looked at Du Ruo's innocent appearance, and rarely smiled: "You girl is still so flustered." How will you marry in the future? “

Du Ruoxiao's face turned red, and he stuck out his tongue and said mischievously: "Sister Liu Nong and the slave maid have agreed that the two of us will not marry for life, and will only accompany the princess to live in this palace." “

Liu Nong glanced at Xue Yi and took a sip: "Phew, you stinky girl, the princess said you, what are you doing with me again?!" “

Du Ruo was about to reply, but Xue Yi hurriedly asked: "Du Ruo, is there anything wrong with you being in such a hurry to find this concubine?" “

Du Ruo then remembered the purpose of his visit, and hurriedly slapped his head vigorously and said: "Ah, look at my memory, the emperor is here again, and I can't find the princess's slave to come to you." “

Xue Yi listened to the word emperor, her eyebrows were slightly raised, her face showed impatience, and she said lazily: "Du Ruo, when you go back to the emperor, you will say that the concubine is not feeling well, and she has rested in this Jinghui Garden." “

"Really? Since Xue Yi's body is uncomfortable, I should visit it in person, how can I not see it?! Before Xue Yi's words fell, Emperor Cheng strode into the courtyard, and he saw the five sons behind Xue Yi at a glance, and he was stunned for a moment and then looked at Xue Yi nervously.

The fifth prince knelt down behind Xue Yi and said: "Long live the five sons of the grass people, long live my emperor!" “

Emperor Cheng looked at the fifth prince with complicated eyes, and said for a long time: "Excuse yourself and sit down." “

Everyone followed the emperor back to the house, Emperor Cheng didn't look at Xue Yi, his two eyes kept staring at the fifth prince, as if there was something strange on the face of the fifth prince, after a moment of silence, Emperor Cheng suddenly asked: "You always call yourself the fifth prince, neither name nor surname, it's not good, it's better to be like this, since you and the king of Yu are brothers and sisters, I will give you the surname Xiao, the name is good?" “

Xue Yi looked at Emperor Cheng in surprise, Xiao Naiguo's surname, Emperor Cheng gave the fifth prince to change his surname to Xiao, which is really a great honor, and the fifth prince only smiled faintly in the face of such an honor, stared at Emperor Cheng with his eyes tightly and said slowly: "The grass people have thanked the emperor for giving him the surname, but the grass people don't know who their parents are, let alone whether they have brothers and sisters, it's just a wandering soul between heaven and earth, and it doesn't matter what the surname is to the grass people!" “

Emperor Cheng was silent, looking at the fifth prince for a moment, Xue Yi suddenly had a strange intuition, these five princes and Emperor Cheng must know each other, and they are very familiar!

The atmosphere was a little awkward, Emperor Cheng turned to Xue Yi and asked with concern: "Princess Shicai said that she was not feeling well, is she feeling better now?" Why don't you come and see the Imperial Doctor? “

Xue Yi hurriedly shook her head: "Emperor Xie cares, the surviving people are fine, but they are just a little tired, and there is really no need to work as a royal doctor in the palace." “

Xue Yi deliberately kept the distance between him and Emperor Cheng, the fifth prince looked at Emperor Cheng and then looked at Xue Yi, got up and said goodbye: "Sister-in-law, it's not too early, little brother farewell." “

"Five sons go slowly!" For some reason, Xue Yi actually stopped the fifth prince, and she was very reluctant to be alone with Emperor Cheng.

Xue Yi always felt that Emperor Cheng had an indescribable domineering, which put a lot of pressure on her, she preferred to chat with the fifth prince, and said at the moment: "It's not early, since the fifth prince is here, why don't you finish your meal and leave?" “

There was a little smile on the lips between the eyebrows of the fifth prince, and his eyes stared at Emperor Cheng and said, "I'm afraid it's inconvenient, right?" Can I eat at the same table with the emperor? Let's take my leave. “

Although the fifth prince said goodbye, his feet were still standing in place, waiting for Emperor Cheng to show him, how could Emperor Cheng not see that Xue Yi was unwilling to be alone with him, and even a little afraid that he would scare him, he was angry in his heart, but there was a smile on his face: "Since the princess is invited, Wu'er doesn't have to be polite, just stay for dinner." “

Emperor Cheng no longer looked at the fifth prince, smiled and took Xue Yi's hand, Xue Yi hurriedly dodged, and bent his knees: "I don't know what the emperor commands?" “

Emperor Cheng glanced at the fifth prince with an embarrassed face, turned his back and glanced at the scenery in the house, and said slowly: "Today, Wu'er gave Xue Yi a surprise, I was very happy to see Xue Yi, I was going to put my gift for a few more days, it seems that it is better to make Xue Yi happy today, I will take you to see the gift I gave you, I am guaranteed to make Xue Yi happier than any gift in this world!" ”

Xue Yi's face was cold, and she forced a smile: "The surviving people have thanked the long live reward, but I don't need to wear a silk Luo or a fat powder hairpin, and the emperor still keeps the reward for the ladies in the palace." ”、

Emperor Cheng suddenly felt sad, stared at Xue Yi and sighed slightly: "Don't you even want to look at my gift?" ”

Xue Yi was about to refuse, but Xiao Yi stood outside the door and said, "Why don't you take a look at the princess with the holy car, if you don't like it, it's not too late to refuse." ”

Xue Yi nodded in gratitude.

"Someone!" Emperor Cheng shouted, and the attendants and guards had already walked in the door, Emperor Cheng glanced at the fifth prince and sent an order: "You wait here to take care of the fifth prince." ”

Xue Yi was shocked, secretly worried that Emperor Cheng would be unfavorable to the fifth prince, and was busy interceding for the fifth prince: "If the emperor wants to give Xue Yi a gift, why don't you ask the fifth prince to retire first?" ”

"Xue Yi," Emperor Cheng looked at Xue Yi for a long time and said, "Do you really care about him like this?!" ”
