Chapter 132: Winter

Qin Lie said this matter more simply, there was no need to discuss or explain at all, and said directly: "Since Brother Li handed over the child to you, then you have full control." ”

Listen, it's really a good idea.

But listening to this, Zhang Ziqian's burden is also very heavy, and he has to take full responsibility. The child is handed over to him, how can you teach the family not to interfere, but in the end, you return the child, it can't be two waste firewood, right?

Qin Lie washed his face and changed his clothes, and threw himself on the bed: "I'm tired to death." ”

Xiao Dong sat down on the edge of the bed and gently rubbed his shoulder: "There are a lot of things going on today?" ”

"Well, it's good to be busy for the past few days." Qin Lie pulled Xiao Dong to fall asleep, and kissed her twice on the face: "How is it at the fourth princess's house today?" I said I wanted to go with you, but you wouldn't let me. ”

"One of the six sisters in the field brought a colt to go, we listened to the music inside, and Luo Wei accompanied the four ponies to drink and talk outside."

"Have you seen Miss Yin?"

"See." Xiao Dong was a little distracted, and smiled for a while: "I'm too stupid, I can't guess what she's thinking." Xiao Dong told Qin Lie about today's meeting: "Miss Yin is not a few years older than me, but she is calmer than me. We talked about going to school, going to school, how she was doing at home, what she was doing with her brother, what she thought...... I didn't ask any of that. ”

Qin Lie smiled and scratched her nose: "Stupid girl, is there anything you can't figure out?" If she didn't want to do it in her heart, she wouldn't have gone to the fourth princess's mansion today, let alone talking to you alone. You must know that the most important thing in the capital is that she is short and long, she and you have been talking in the same room for so long, do you think others can't see it? What do you think they all think? ”

"Gee, I didn't think that much."

"If you care, it's messy." Qin Lie said: "You wouldn't be surprised by normal times. ”

Sure enough, Qin Lie was a bystander.

Now there are rumors in the capital, if Miss Yin doesn't want to get involved with King An's Mansion, the best way is of course to close the door, and the rumors will naturally cool down after a while. And now she not only went out, but also went to the fourth princess's mansion, and chatted with Xiaodong alone for a long time. What will you think in the eyes of others?

Xiao Dong couldn't help but laugh: "So, she is also interesting to her brother?" ”

Qin Lie didn't want to hit her, Xiao Dong always thought about the good side of people.

Frankly speaking, which unmarried girl in the capital would not be interested in the position of the princess? In the future, Zhao Lu will be the king of the county, then his wife will be the princess of the county, and the Anwang Mansion is both noble and simple. There is no mother-in-law, and a sister-in-law is married - even if she is not married, Xiaodong is not the kind of arrogant and bullying temper, it is simply a good marriage that is difficult to find with a lantern. Unless the Yin girl is crazy or has other reasons, she will never let go of this God-given opportunity. Now that Xiaodong has taken the initiative to "look at each other", how could Miss Yin not seize the opportunity? Taking a step back, even if it weren't for this, it would be a good thing to be able to get acquainted with the county lord and make friends.

Of course, maybe Miss Yin's ideas are not so utilitarian, it's just that Qin Lie has seen a lot, and he is never afraid to speculate on people and things on the worst side.

Xiao Dong held his cheeks, a little annoyed: "Well, I want to invite Miss Yin to be a guest...... She is also a book lover, and her family has a large collection of books......"

She looked slightly distracted, and she looked particularly quiet and soft.

But Xiao Dong, who has such a moving demeanor, is thinking of someone else.

Qin Lie couldn't say if he was a little sour in his heart, and said casually: "It's better to go with the flow, in case this matter doesn't work out, both sides won't be too embarrassed." ”

That's right.

Xiao Dong smiled at him and kissed him back as a reward: "Okay, I ordered the kitchen to boil three-fruit soup, you come back and drink more, things to do, and your body has to be taken care of." ”

"Honor, ma'am." Qin Lie lay down with her in his arms for a while, and said softly: "After these few days, let's go to Zhuangzi in Donghua to live for a few days, didn't you say you wanted to ride a horse last time?" ”

"Good. It's a pity that my father has been busy and hard work all these years, and he hasn't had a good rest. I remember two times when he was sick and the board of directors were still on errands every day. In the evening I asked if my father would go with him. ”

Qin Lie felt that the sourness in his throat was even stronger - he wanted to go with Xiao Dong and the two of them, but Xiao Dong pulled King An again.

Well, it's a long time coming.

It's a pity that when Qin Lie vacated the time, Xiao Dong couldn't vacate again, the queen was indeed sick, and she was not lightly ill. The four princesses took turns to enter the palace to serve the sick, not to mention the other concubines. Xiao Dong also went to the palace to visit the sick, but she didn't even see the queen's face, and the third princess Wu came out to send her, saying that the queen had just taken medicine and fell asleep.

In fact, both sides are just faces. Xiao Dong should have come, and the queen should have a good reason not to say no. But in the hearts of both sides, they may not really want to see each other.

When it comes to the cold season, there are always a lot of sick people, the queen's illness has not improved, and the empress dowager Shengci is also sick. The queen can't deal with it, and Concubine Ming is already in a semi-secluded state, but Concubine Song Shu came out for a while, but later the power of palace affairs did not fall into her hands, and she was reprimanded by the emperor, and she was disgraced, and now the affairs in the palace are temporarily handled by the three princesses. The character of the three princesses is obvious to everyone. The strict rules of the Three Princes' Mansion are also famous. This time, the three princesses took care of the affairs of the inner palace, but they were also in order. It's not because those concubines and beauties are the little wives of their father-in-law that they are not easy to manage.

Xiao Dong came out of the queen, and the third princess wanted to send it, Xiao Dong said: "It's cold outside, besides, you have a lot of things here." ”

The third princess nodded and said, "That sister walks slowly, beware of slippery roads." ”

The fog in the early morning has not dissipated, looking from one end of the palace road to the other end, the vast fog blocks the view, and the back of the fog seems to be another world, mysterious, quiet, and lonely world. Someone came from that end, first blurred, then gradually clear. The fog hit his face, and Xiao Dong's eyebrows and eyelashes were damp.

From Fengyi Palace to Changchun Palace, the road is not close, one east and one west. Xiao Dong walked out of breath, and the corners of his forehead were sweaty.

When they arrived at the gate of Changchun Palace, the five princesses also came from the other side. She was dressed in plain green clothes, and there were no beads on her head. Xiao Dong's heart tightened slightly, and she vaguely remembered that when she first saw Ou Lanying, she was also dressed like this. is like a flower, but can only spend the rest of his life like a dead ash. It was as if a hand was strangling their throats, sucking away their happiness, beauty and vitality little by little, leaving only a stiff skin.

"Sister Xiaodong."

"Fifth sister."

The two greeted each other and entered the Changchun Palace together.

The imperial doctor looked at the Empress Dowager Shengci, and the others didn't say anything, the meaning of the words is that people have age, and they always have to be more careful when encountering the change of seasons.

The Empress Dowager Shengci herself was very open-minded, and in turn comforted others: "It doesn't matter, after taking medicine for two days, I feel much lighter." You all go your own way, and if you don't have it, you will all stay here and smell the medicine. ”

Xiao Dong smiled and said: "Even if I go back, my heart will still remain with the Queen Mother, it is better to stay here, so as to save myself from worrying about going back." ”

The Empress Dowager asked her, "Are you from the Empress?" Is she getting sicker? ”

"I didn't see the queen mother, saying that I just took medicine and fell asleep."

The Empress Dowager Shengci nodded and said to Xiaodong: "You are all filial children, your fifth sister went to Huguo Temple yesterday and asked for a sign for me. ”

Xiao Dongxin said that even if she asked for a sign, the fifth princess would definitely give it to the bag and sign it and then get it back. It doesn't matter if it's true or not, when the world asks for a signature, what they are asking for is peace of mind. As soon as the mood is better, the illness will definitely get better quickly.

Cai Gu said on the side: "Well, the vegetarian balls made by the county lord in front of him are also good, and the queen mother said that they are very palatable and not greasy at all." ”

"If the Queen Mother likes it, I'll do it again today. But ......" Xiaodong thought for a while: "Wouldn't it be better to change the taste?" It's also boring to eat it all the time. The Queen Mother thinks that tofu soup is better, or vegetarian bamboo shoot soup? ”

The Empress Dowager Shengci smiled and nodded: "Then bamboo shoot soup." ”

Tofu soup is more troublesome, and the Empress Dowager Shengci chooses a simple one.

Xiao Dong took Aunt Cai to the kitchen, and the fifth princess also came over to help.

Xiao Dong saw the green circle under the eyes of the fifth princess, and whispered: "Fifth sister, take care of yourself, don't think too much." ”

The fifth princess raised her head and glanced at her, and quickly lowered her head: "I know...... It's just ...... as soon as you close your eyes at night."

Xiao Dong felt sorry in his heart.

Even though they haven't been together for too long, they are husband and wife after all.

One night husband and wife hundred days.

A man leaves, never sees him again, can't hear his voice, and reaches out and never touches his presence—

It takes a long, long time to accept such a loss.

Sometimes, people often forget that the person is no longer there. When I heard something, I would blurt out his name, but when I looked back, I saw only an empty room.

The two silently washed the fungus mushrooms, and the sliced bamboo shoots were soaked in boiling water. The fifth princess looked at Xiao Dong's orderly busyness, and asked softly, "Sister Xiao Dong is also busy at home every day?" ”

"No, I do it when I have time, and that's it when I'm busy."

The soup boiled and skimmed off the foam, and Xiao Dong scooped some: "Fifth sister taste it." ”

The fifth princess blew the hot air and tasted a small bite: "Well, it's very fresh, salty and light." ”

Xiao Dong brought out the soup, and Cai Gu over there had already put the four side dishes in the same way, filled the soup, and served them out together. The Empress Dowager Shengci really gave face and drank a bowl of soup.

Out of Changchun Palace, Xiaodong asked the girl who came out to send her: "The Queen Mother has a bad appetite these days?" ”

Cai Gu whispered: "I didn't eat much, but I ate an extra bite of the balls the day before yesterday, and then today's soup." ”

Xiao Dong nodded: "I know, I'll come back tomorrow." ”

Cai Gu said more: "The imperial doctor said that the queen's illness will improve in the spring." ”

Xiao Dong was stunned for a moment, and Aunt Cai had already entered.

I bought a Mother's Day gift today, and when I came back, I found that the skirt didn't fit well and had to be changed
