Cui Hong saluted, her face was neither humble nor arrogant, "The little master, please forgive the slave and the maid for not knowing, and ask the little master to go with the slave and maid." ”

Concubine Chen has already left, Concubine Cai is helpless, and she follows with her head, and the other concubines are standing not far away and pointing, I don't know what the imperial concubine is looking for Concubine Cai to do at this time?

Entering the palace, the imperial concubine touched her belly, which was nearly five months old, and only said, "This palace is now physically inconvenient and can no longer serve the emperor, are you willing to accompany the emperor for this palace?" ”

Condescending, graceful and luxurious, she looked at Hua Concubine with benevolent eyes, but Hua Concubine felt a chill down her spine inexplicably, "Niangniang, concubine ......"

"Here in this palace, there is no need to show any loyalty. If you are willing, from now on, you will stay in the Minghua Palace, and the palace will let people clean it up for you, if you don't want to, the palace will not force it, just leave by yourself. ”

After the words fell, the imperial concubine turned around and entered the palace, already having a very pregnant body, and looking at herself, she was really enviable.

Especially in this deep palace, having a child to rely on is better than anything else.

"Little master, have you figured it out?"

After a while, the imperial concubine of the Cui Hong Dynasty asked lightly, and Concubine Cai gritted her teeth, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, "This ...... Does Niangniang really want her concubines to serve the emperor on her behalf? ”

She would never have imagined such a good thing.

Cui Jing laughed and said slowly, "Niangniang's meaning is very clear, that is, she wants the little master to enjoy this glory and wealth, if the little master is unwilling, then in this deep palace, there are many other little masters to take over." In that case, please go back, little master! ”

Cui Hong spoke, and was about to leave, but the concubine saw the opportunity passing, and she was apprehensive, but she was extremely uneasy. Seeing that Cui Hong was really leaving, she finally shouted, "Wait! ”

Emerald Red stopped, and the corners of her lips pursed slightly, slowly raised.

……

At that time, about a hundred miles away from the center of the imperial city of Dali, in an almost remote and uninhabited place, there were a few thatched houses in solitude, and in the thatched houses, men and women who had lived for half a year.

It's not like a husband and wife, but it's not like a brother and sister, it's like a desert escape.

The smoke curled, the man who was hunting came back, and when he entered the door, he smiled and said, "Jin'er, is the baby well-behaved today, is there any movement?" ”

In the thatched hut, on the bed made of tree planks, Jin Yan was lying lazily with his body together, and there was a charcoal pot burning in the place in the house, and a fire was burning in the charcoal basin. It's a cold day, and I'm really too lazy to speak. When Jin Yan heard him come in, he raised his eyes to look at him, and said with a smile, "Brother Nalan, the baby is very well-behaved today." I'm counting today, it's almost the winter solstice, right? Some folks eat dumplings on the winter solstice. It's really slanderous. ”

It has been five months since she came out at the end of summer, and the child in her belly is growing day by day. Fortunately, when the carriage was running, Nalan City was desperately pressing, and all the clothes and utensils in the carriage were also complete. There are even two quilts, which can survive such bad weather.

During this period, the two of them did not think about returning to the capital, but every time they traveled to the vicinity of the capital, they would always find some unknown people, holding swords in their hands, eyeing pedestrians on the road.

Nalan City knew that something was wrong, and these people must have come for them.

In desperation, Nalan City has not tried, using special contact information to contact the people in the city, but every contact is like a sea of mud cattle. What's more, after the last few contacts, a large number of soldiers and horses suddenly ran out of the city, and severely searched everyone who entered the city.

This is clear, there is already a traitor among the guards in the palace.

Nalan City was extremely angry, but he was also helpless. In order to ensure the safety of the mother, I had to go to this mountain and wild place again, no matter what, I had to calm down the vigilance of those people first.

And as soon as I stay here, half a year has passed, and after seeing the winter solstice, it will be the New Year.

The annual New Year, it seems that Jin Yan has been extremely restless every time.

Including last year, including this year.

"If you want to eat dumplings, I'll go find someone to buy some."

Patting the snow water on his body, Nalan Cheng released the mountain hare that he had hunted with great difficulty, it had already been cleaned, Jin Yan thought about it, and said a little embarrassed, "But there is still a long way to go outside." ”

"Don't be afraid. I'm strong, and I can't defend myself if I take a few more steps. It's you, stay here alone, but be careful. This knife is for you, if I don't come back, don't open the door for anyone, it's really a last resort, you must protect your own safety first. Got it? ”

Every time he went out to buy food, he was not very relieved. He is a big man, it doesn't matter what he eats, and he doesn't get hungry on his stomach, which is enough.

But with her pregnant woman here, he deeply felt that he couldn't neglect him no matter what.

"Well, it's not the first time. Although the mountains here are large, there are few wild beasts in winter, and I am not afraid to burn a fire. ”

Raising his hand to take the knife, and telling him a few more words, be careful on the road or something, Nalan Cheng nodded, turned around and went out to close the chai door, and told her: "It's still the same time as before, I'll be back before dark." ”

"Good!"

Jin Yan smiled, if it was said that when they first started, the two of them were still embarrassed, but after a long time, they got used to it.

Now, she loves him as a brother, and feels that with him by her side, all dangers are not dangers.

She will always remember that day, when the carriage ran away, she panicked in the carriage, and he desperately pulled the runaway carriage like a god, and kept strangling his hands to the point of blood.

He is really protecting her with his life.

Out of the mountains, he went to a small town more than thirty miles away, and in the noon weather, Nalan City was a little hungry in his stomach, but he raised his hand and touched the money bag, it seemed that there were only a few copper plates. couldn't help but smile helplessly, they are a noble concubine and a guard commander, and they can one day fall into such a field, and it is really unbelievable that this matter will be spread.

I don't have any silver in my hand, and I don't dare to pawn the gold and silver jewelry I carry with me. He tugged at the collar of the beast's coat and entered the only small restaurant in town.

"Boss, do you sell dumplings today?"

Nalan Cheng entered the door and asked in a low voice, his dress has long since lost the original scenery and moonlight, and the whole thing looks like a poor hunter in the mountains.

At noon, the weather was cold, and there were few people in the store, and the owner of the store was making dumplings with his mother-in-law, but at this time someone came in, and he immediately said impatiently, "There are dumplings and they are not sold." Let's go, let's go! ”

With an impatient face, he rushed people out, but Nalan Cheng was immediately happy, "What does the boss mean, there are dumplings to sell?" ”

He stepped forward and made a gesture to take the silver from the money bag city, and the shopkeeper said "Huh", and immediately felt strange, "Hey, I said that you are a poor hunter, a mountain stick, didn't I say it?" Today, it is available, and it is not sold. I'm going to keep it for myself. Hurry up, hurry up, go away! ”

Rushing out again, the shopkeeper was going to bolt the door. Nalan Cheng grabbed his latch, twisted his eyebrows and said, "But my sister is pregnant, she wants to eat this bite today, can she trouble the boss to cut her love?" ”

When he said this, Nalan City really felt that he was too useless.

Even if he is no longer the commander of the imperial city guards, and he is no longer the son of Nalan Mansion, then he is at least still a man, and he can still support himself!

But the reality is that he can't do that.

"Hey! Are you deaf or broken? Didn't I say that? I don't sell these dumplings. ”

Why haven't you ever seen someone like this?

They all said that they would not sell it, and they refused to leave with such a dead face. Nalan Cheng gritted his teeth, "Boss, I'm sorry for you, I'll pay double the price?" ”

"Triple and don't sell!"

"That'...... Do I use this line break? ”

Gritting his teeth, Nalan Cheng raised his hand, took a ring from his finger, and handed it over.

It is a good jade wrench, the water head is full, extraordinarily transparent, just look at this jade, it is also worth a lot of money, not to mention the last processed work, there is a skilled craftsman carved auspicious cloud pattern, just a glance, the owner of this shop is so happy that his eyes are bright.

But after a moment, he hesitated and said, "You can't have stolen this, right?" ”

Looking up and down at Nalan City, with such a poor hunter, can he have such a good net worth?

"It's my ancestral. I really can't help it, so I have to exchange it. Boss, are you willing to give me dumplings? There is also this jade wrench, the boss must help me take it back, and I will redeem it when I come back. ”

That jade wrench, Nalan City is indeed not wrong, it is really the ancestral heirloom of the family. At this time, there is really no other way to take it out like this.

On the concubine's body, although there are not many gold and silver things, but at first glance, they are palace products, and he does not dare to take them out.

"Good! Seeing that you are so pitiful, then, this dumpling will be good for you......" automatically ignored the last sentence of "redemption" in Nalan City, the boss Le Zizi turned around the back hall, took the dumplings out, and took the pot for him to pocket, covered it with a cloth, and then said, "Oh, here you go." ”

Nalan Cheng thanked him, holding this hard-won dumpling in his arms, his eyes were smiling, and he hurried all the way back.

Such a worried mood is something that Nalan City has never felt.

Even if Mu Qiu gave birth to a child for him at the earliest, he was still very calm. Although it is extremely shameful to think like this as a man, love has never come first and then come.

He likes her, even if he gives his life for her.

In the same way, he liked her and respected her even more.

I took the dumplings all the way back, and as soon as he left, the shopkeeper took the jade wrench that had just been exchanged for dumplings, thinking that he had really made money now!

Coldly, a big hand snatched it from the side, snatched the jade wrench, and asked in a deep voice, "Where did this thing come from?" ”
