CHAPTER XXXVIII

When she came back, Liu Er had already washed up, she sat on the edge of the bed, and when she saw me coming back, she hurriedly stood up and said, "Mr. is back."

I nodded at her.

Liu Er said again, "It's really strange this day, it was fine last day, it snowed in the middle of the night, and I didn't bring much clothes, but fortunately, I will go back tomorrow, if I stay for a few more days, I won't freeze people to death."

I smiled faintly and looked out the window, thinking to myself that I would rather let time stand still for these two days than never go forward.

Probably seeing my abnormality, Liu Er handed me the small stove in his hand and asked me again, "What's wrong with sir, nothing happened?"

I whispered, "It's nothing, I can't sleep and go out for a walk, it's too freezing." After finishing the road, he put down the stove and took the wooden plate, ready to fetch water and wash his face.

Liu Er took two steps forward and took the wooden basin from my hand, and said, "Sir, just wait here, I'll go."

I looked at my own hands, they were held by Bai Xiaoqiu all the time, and he held them so hard that there were still dark purple and red blood marks on his fingers until now, watching the blood marks slowly dissipate and return to the same as before.

After a while, Liu Er brought a basin of hot water and put it on the wooden shelf, and I put my face into the basin, it was very warm, but my heart was still cold, and I wanted to cry.

After washing, I sat on the edge of the bed with the stove in my arms, and Liu Er pushed the door in and called me, "Sir, Mrs. Mu asked you to come over for breakfast."

In the end, in the palace, the breakfast is very generous, there are many tricks, steamed, fried, fried, boiled, there are several kinds of scalding water, all kinds of snacks and side dishes, the color and fragrance are complete, and a table is full.

Mrs. Mu told me that she got up before dawn, and had been sitting and waiting for Xuanxuan, and yesterday she said that her stomach hurt, and the doctor didn't see anything wrong with her for a long time, and she didn't know what was wrong with the child.

The table was full of delicious food, and Mrs. Mu didn't move her chopsticks, so she sat beside Xuan Xun and looked at him, her face full of worry. That mysteries slept peacefully and sweetly.

Only I know that Xuan Xuan is not sick and pretending to be sick, this is his usual method, tried and tested, yesterday was just to help me.

Seeing Mrs. Mu's anxious look, I stepped forward to comfort her and said, "Even the imperial doctor can't see the problem, it's just that there is nothing wrong, children, occasionally eat inappropriately, they will also cry out for stomach pain, and if they are frozen, they will have stomach pain, it's not a big problem, it's okay to sleep, Madame, don't worry, make sure that Xuanxuan wakes up for a while, and he is still alive."

Pulled Mrs. Mu to sit at the table to eat breakfast, Mrs. Mu ate little, only drank a small bowl of porridge, and then ran to see the mysteries. I looked at the table full of food, lifted my chopsticks and ate only a few bites before I felt full and had a bad appetite.

Liu Er came into the house, saw a large table of food without moving a few chopsticks, looked at me, and then at Mrs. Mu, and cautiously shouted "Madam".

Mrs. Mu raised her hand and said, "Let's all go down."

I sat and chatted in the room with Mrs. Mu, and I was afraid that I was tired from the exam in the past two days, and I was still asleep.

After a while, Liu Er pushed open the door and said, "Madam, the female official Fengyi beside the queen is here."

Mrs. Mu's eyes sank, she glanced at me, then got up and drove away, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up, please."

The female official Fengyi walked into the room in a pale yellow robe, stood fixedly, looked very dignified, smiled at Mrs. Mu, and said "Madame."

Mrs. Mu also smiled back and said, "Dare to ask the female official what is the matter?" Isn't it the queen looking for me."

The female official Fengyi still smiled slightly and said, "The queen sent me today, not for Madame, but for Mr. Su."

My body was shaken, and my heart tightened, and I didn't understand what the good queen specially sent the female officials around me to do.

Mrs. Mu said earnestly: "I don't know what the queen is looking for Mr. Su to do?" ”

The female official Fengyi seemed to be a little impatient and said, "If you go, you will know."

Mrs. Mu smiled and said, "Since the queen is invited, then Mr. should go quickly."

Lady Fengyi finally bowed to Mrs. Mu and said to me, "Mr. Su, please come with me."

I was frightened, turned my head to look at Mrs. Mu, Mrs. Mu also looked at me, and hurriedly said, "Female officer, please wait here for a while, wait for me to tidy up Mr. Su's clothes, Mr. Su will meet the queen for the first time, don't lose etiquette."

The female officer Fengyi smiled slightly and said, "Hurry up, it's not good if it's late."

I went into the inner room with Mrs. Mu, who brushed my hair back and whispered in my ear, "The queen summons me, it is extraordinary, be careful in everything, be cautious in words and deeds, do the best in rules and etiquette, just remember one thing and maintain a neutral attitude."

I nodded my head and mumbled, and the two of us walked out of the inner room together.

Following behind the female official Fengyi, she crossed the doors of all sizes, and bowed her head all the way to salute.

The queen lives in the Mingci Palace, enters the vermilion lacquer gate, the first thing that catches her eye is the begonia flowers, the wind moves, such as the clouds and mountains and the sea in general, the pearl is the curtain, the sandalwood is the beam, and the ground is covered with peony patterns

Blankets, walk on it fluffy and fluffy.

Empress Xue sat upright in the dormitory, smiling at the child who was about the same age as Xuan Xuan sitting opposite her. The boy had a pen in his hand and was writing diligently.

Feng Yi bowed to Queen Xue and said, "Back to the master, Mr. Su is here."

I knelt on the ground, according to the etiquette taught to me by Mama Xiao, I prostrate all my body to the ground, stretched my hands and my head together, and said in a clear voice, "In Xia Su Feifei to the queen mother to say goodbye, the queen Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose."

Empress Xue said solemnly, "Raise your head and show me."

I slowly raised my head and looked at Empress Xue cautiously, trying to find any clues on her face or eyes.

Empress Xue said, "Don't be so nervous, you can get up and speak."

With a word of thanks, Queen Xi hurriedly stood up, standing aside in a proper manner, still with his head down.

Empress Xue straightened up, showed a dignified and kind smile, and said to me, "It's not important to find Mr. Su today, mainly because when I was taking the exam in Changde Hall yesterday, I saw the youngest son of General Bai Xuan, and the answer was like a stream, quite the demeanor and momentum of General Bai back then, people say that all the men of the Baifu family are young talents, especially the twelve young Bai Xiaoqiu, who was canonized as a young general by the saint at a young age. This mysteries are young talents, like a young general. In time, I am afraid that I will surpass his brothers, and I am deeply gratified to think that I am a vast Jin country and a large number of talents."

I hurriedly praised "Niangniang is blessed with the sky, and it is a blessing for the people."

Empress Xue looked at me with a pleasant face, and said, "Later, when I inquired, I learned that it was Mr. Su who taught me personally, I can't believe that even a woman can have such courage and knowledge."

I said again, "Thanks to the praise of the queen's mother, Su Feifei is only a shallow learner, and he only learned some fur."

Although Empress Xue had a smile in her eyes, her eyes looking at me were meaningful, and she smiled at me and said, "Sir, have you ever thought about coming to the palace and staying in my Mingci Hall to find an errand, or to be a female official?"

I knelt on the ground with a puff and whispered, "The queen is loved, Feifei is an idle person, but he is just a small grass among all living beings, he has no ambitions, it is really difficult to get into the hall of elegance, and he never dares to have such an idea."

The smile on Empress Xue's face gradually dissipated, picked up the teacup, blew it, took a sip, paused for a while and said, "Sure enough, it's a woman, she can't withstand the wind and waves, I hope today's events don't scare you, you go down."

After thanking the queen for her grace, he hurriedly withdrew.

As soon as I went out, I found that a layer of cold sweat had already broken out on my back. The maid led me to the door, and I bowed to her to thank her.

Out of the Mingci Palace, the sun was hanging directly above the head, and the wind was blowing, and I couldn't help but shiver. A heart finally relaxed, and walked back along the road from which he came, the road in the palace was wide and flat everywhere, basking in the sun, facing the cold wind, in a good mood, stepping on the snow, and striding forward with his arms outstretched.

I heard a pop behind me, and then I heard the man screaming. I looked back and saw that Seventeen Shao fell to the ground, fell into the mud, and buried his face in the snowdrift, and Fourteen Shao stood aside with a smile on his face. I couldn't hold back my laughter.

The seventeenth young man cried and said, "Hey, you woman, do you still have a little sympathy, is it so funny that Major General Ben fell?" ”

I also laughed so hard that I couldn't straighten my waist, and ridiculed the seventeenth young man, "Dignified major general, it's just like that, it's very chic."

Seventeen Shao wiped a handful of snow water from his face and said, "Where are you talking about the wind and cold, why don't you come over and help me quickly."

I disdainfully said, "If you have the ability to get up by yourself, why do you need someone to help you."

Seventeen young people coquettishly said, "I don't care, if you don't help me, I won't get up."

I cut it and said, "If you don't get up, just lie on your stomach and see how long you can endure." After finishing speaking, I walked forward, walked a few steps and turned around, and saw that Seventeen Shao was still lying on the ground, and Fourteen Shao was not in a hurry to pull him, just watched the joke on the side.

Looking up, there were snowflakes in the sky again, in this cold weather, lying in the snow was afraid that it would freeze the body, and finally couldn't bear it, and walked back, walked in front of the seventeen young people, and said, "The ground is cold, get up quickly."

As soon as I finished speaking, the seventeenth major general dragged me, and I fell into the snow. Seventeen Shao laughed out loud and said, "Look how you still laugh at me, now you are like me, you are a snowman."

I said loudly, "Seventeen Shao, you are really a villain, unprepared." While saying that, he hurriedly got up from the ground, rolled his eyes, grabbed a handful of snow and threw it into the back and neck of the seventeen young man, the seventeen young man shouted that it was so cold, and picked up a handful of snow and threw it at me, I was not to be outdone and threw him back.

We were laughing and making noise in the snow, completely unaware of the eleven, twelve, and nineteenth youngsters, and the general standing not far away watching us.

Until the fourteenth young man shouted at us, "The general is coming, you all stop."

I stood in front of everyone covered in snow, my face and feet were already unconscious.

When Mrs. Mu saw that my face was purple from the cold, and my clothes were wet with snow, she hurriedly instructed Liu Er to boil water for me to take a bath.

After the meal, Mrs. Mu came to see me again, and I told her everything about this morning's events in the Ming Ci Temple, and Mrs. Mu listened, suddenly smiling, and suddenly showing a sad face, I looked at Mrs. Mu and observed the changing expression on her face.

When the afterglow of the sun slanted on my window and pulled out a long shadow, Liu Er pushed the door in and said, "Mrs. Mu, Concubine Song sent a palace maid here."

Mrs. Mu and I got up at the same time and looked at each other, not knowing what was waiting for me this time.
