Xiuwan and Xiuying made porridge in Su Ruhui's small courtyard, packed it in a food box, and were about to go to Cai Mingxuan, Xiuying stopped and said: "Sister, the young ladies will go to the imperial garden in a while, we might as well prepare the stove cloak, drink the porridge in a while, borrow a place from Miss Huo Qi and set off together, so as not to run back in the dark light." ”

"That's just right." So the two of them covered the food box and took the things for Su Ruhui and Zhou Yi'er, and then they came out of Lumingtai.

When they arrived at Cai Mingxuan, everyone was waiting a little impatiently, and the county lord of Danzhu said happily: "Where is the sugar porridge?" ”

Su Ruhui personally took out the sugar porridge she wanted, but this porridge was chestnut porridge, which was slightly sweet, but Danzhu County liked sweets, Huo Qinglian turned around and asked people to take honey to mix in two soups, and then it was brought to Danzhu, Danzhu tasted it, praised it repeatedly, and ate it happily.

Huo Qinglian and Zhou Yi'er are all red date porridge, while Su Ruhui is a bowl of red bean porridge, she explained that she has been eating red date porridge for a while.

After the four of them drank the porridge, seeing that Xiuying Xiuwan had already taken Zhou Yi'er and Su Ruhua's clothes, Huo Qinglian couldn't help but praise the two for their cleverness. Xiuwan smiled: "The slave maid was reminded by Xiuying to remember that Miss Huo's praise should be all given to Xiuying." ”

Xiuying should be humble, Su Ruhui has already said: "Sister Zhou is smart, and even Xiuying is also smart, but our master and servant are naked." ”

Zhou Yi'er didn't follow what he said, the two laughed and had a fight, and borrowed a place from Huo Qinglian to change clothes, because he only said that he would go back after a banquet in Cai Mingxuan, and he only wore thin palace clothes under the big clothes. Now I want to go to the Imperial Garden, but I am away for a long time, so I naturally have to change into thick clothes and hold a heater to avoid freezing.

Huo Qinglian himself also changed his outfit, so he took the county lord of Danzhu to the Detai Palace, on the one hand, he said to the queen mother, but on the other hand, he asked the county lord of Danzhu to also change into thick and warm clothes.

When I arrived at the Detai Palace, I was stopped by an aunt as usual, this aunt's name is Sleeve Zhen, and she followed the Queen Mother with Sleeve Xiang and others, although she is not as favored as Sleeve Xiang, but she is also the palace maid of the Detai Palace, Sleeve Zhen smiled: "The county lord and the young ladies have eaten well to kowtow to the Queen Mother to beg for reward?" It's really unfortunate that the Queen Mother is still teaching Miss Zhou! ”

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the Queen Mother was actually still busy for Zhou Qingran, Huo Qinglian's face suddenly became a little unbearable, and he forced a smile: "Is it?" We wanted to invite the Queen Mother to go to the Imperial Garden to watch the fireworks, and also asked my aunt to let the Lord of Danzhu go in and change his clothes, so as not to get cold. ”

Sleeve really wanted to answer, but heard a voice from inside: "Sleeve Zhen, is the county lord and the ladies here?" The Queen Mother just rested for a while, and let them in. ”

"So, county lord and miss, please come in."

This is the first time Su Ruhui has seen the Queen Mother since Zhou Qingran entered the palace, Jiayi's face is slightly pale, obviously Zhou Qingran has worried a lot about this time, and Zhou Qingran also happens to be on the side, this rumored woman who will replace Zhou's son and mother in the world is originally rigorous and extraordinary, after the Queen Mother personally adjusted, even if she sat there without saying a word, there was also a graceful and luxurious, demeanor overflowing.

Su Ruhui couldn't help but look at her quietly when the four of them saluted, and compared it with the son of Zhou, who entered the palace at the age of fourteen and has been in charge of the phoenix seal for thirteen years.

After the four of them finished saluting, Zhou Qingran also got up from the side and saluted them separately.

"The mourning family is very tired during this time, and there is no extra energy to take care of it, so you better pay attention to yourself." Seeing that they finished saluting, the Queen Mother slowly spoke, her expression could not hide her tiredness, but she only said a few words, let people send a reward for Chinese New Year's Eve, and said, "You want to go to the Imperial Garden?" It's a cold day, why don't you pick the day and go again? ”

"Queen Mother, Sister Lian'er said that she wanted to make a snack and asked Mei Rui to make the ingredients, and the courtiers thought that if they picked it at night, Mei Rui's cold fragrance would be stronger." Zhou Yi'er said respectfully.

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, but did not stop her, but said: "Wear some more, and bring a heater." ”

The four of them agreed, and the Queen Mother said: "Danzhu won't go, Danzhu is young, don't get sick from the cold." ”

"The Queen Mother's ......" Danzhu heard this, and immediately looked at the Queen Mother pitifully, but the Queen Mother resolutely refused to allow it, Danzhu couldn't, so he had to obediently step aside and look at Su Ruhui and the three of them with reluctant eyes.

The Queen Mother said: "Because of the mourning family, you didn't go to the banquet, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see your mother, pick the plum Rui in a while, if the banquet just breaks up over there, you also go to see and say a few words." ”

Su Ruhui and Zhou Yi'er were both overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank her.

At this time, Qi Yun reminded them to retire, and when they left the Detai Palace, the three of them took the palace maid and walked towards the imperial garden.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the palace is lit up everywhere. This is especially true in the Imperial Garden, not to mention the reflection of the snow, so you can't see the path clearly.

Merlin is in the north of the Imperial Garden, but Zhou Yi'er proposed to pick Mei Rui at night, and Su Ruhui seconded the proposal, all of which had the intention of taking the opportunity to meet with his mother, and now he has the Queen Mother's personal consent, where is he still in the mood to go to Merlin for the time being, only said that he wanted to see the night snow, his steps were slow, and his eyes couldn't help but drift to the direction of Weiyang Palace.

Huo Qinglian knew their thoughts, so he said, "I'll pick them first, and the two younger sisters will come over slowly." ”

Zhou Yier and Su Ruhui naturally agreed.

At this time, the banquet in Weiyang Palace was gradually getting better, and the two knew that it was not appropriate to rush in, so they could only linger at the gate of the Imperial Garden.

He was waiting anxiously, when suddenly there was a sound of man's footsteps outside the Imperial Garden, mixed with a slightly drunken discussion.

Zhou Yi'er and Su Ruhui were both startled and were about to avoid it, but there was nowhere to hide around, and while they were still hesitating, a group of people had already walked in quickly.

Seeing two girls in fancy clothes, the person who came was stunned, and subconsciously said: "You are ......"

Su Ruhui saw that the person who asked the question was wearing a royal robe, and it was estimated that he was about the king who was recalled to the imperial capital for the festival, but he didn't know which king it was, so he silently saluted and retreated to the side of the road, and Zhou Yi'er did the same. Su-young held their arms to prevent them from slipping.

I only heard a gentle voice in the crowd say: "Uncle Wang, they are ordered to enter the palace to accompany the Queen Mother." ”

"Oh!" The person who asked the question originally saw that Zhou Yi'er and Su Ruhua were not good-looking, and they should not be Changtai's concubines at their age, so they were quite interested, and when they heard that it was the Queen Mother's person, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they didn't dare to be presumptuous, so they just said, "In this case, why is the Queen Mother tired and not accompanying the Queen Mother, what are you doing here?" ”

"The queen mother took pity on the courtiers, and let the courtiers meet with their mothers when the banquet in Weiyang Palace was dispersed, because the feast was not dispersed, so they waited here, I didn't know that His Royal Highness the prince and the kings were coming, and I asked for forgiveness." Su Ruhui and Zhou Yi'er glanced at each other and owed a debt.

"It's okay, the feast in Weiyang Palace is still a long time away, if the two young ladies are boring, you might as well travel with me." Prince Gan Lin said suddenly, but when he said this, his eyes looked at Su Ruhui with a little playfulness.

Someone noticed his gaze and couldn't help but stroke his palm and smile: "Prince, why do you want to see this girl in scarlet clothes?" ”

"This woman is Senior Sister Shizhen, isn't Uncle Jiang curious?" Prince Gan Lin asked rhetorically.

"Oh? Senior sister Gu Liancheng? Is it true or false? The crowd was in a commotion, and they all looked at the person beside the prince Ganlin, Su Ruhui was also slightly surprised, but she didn't expect Gu Liancheng to be in the crowd, and subconsciously looked up.

But seeing that the person behind Gan Lin was as tall as Gan Lin, dressed in a blue robe, his face was as white as jade, his facial features were gentle and heroic, the aura of the books around him was revealed, and his eyes were moist, he looked at Su Ruhui, smiled gently, and arched his hand: "But the young daughter of Wudehou, Miss Su Si?" ”

"Exactly!" Su Ruhui knew that this senior brother was extraordinary, so she didn't dare to slack off, so she hurriedly returned the courtesy.

"The family teacher once said that except for Shizhen, he only accepted one disciple of Miss Su Si." This is to admit that Su Ruhui is her junior sister, Su Ruhui pursed her lips and smiled, and saluted again: "I've seen senior brother." ”
