I can't fill my stomach, and I can't help it.

The so-called hunger and cold, although I can't feel cold as a ghost, but I believe that I have a deep understanding of that feeling of hunger and cold.

Why can't I get enough to eat?

Is it because I'm a ghost and don't need to eat human food, but need to suck human essence to survive?

Anyway, I really want to eat that Si Qing.

......

I don't know the way in this huge palace, except for the remote dormitory of Concubine Li, which makes people can't remember it, I really don't know where to go.

I don't know how long I walked, but I finally returned to Concubine Li's bedroom.

I'm really sleepy, it's noon, when the sun is at its strongest.

When I walked in the sun, I only felt that the world around me had turned into a lilac halo of smoke, and everyone needed to rest, let alone me.

I lifted the drape on the bed to take a nap, but found that Concubine Lifei was already asleep.

In her sleep, she is like an epiphany blooming in a pond at midnight, and the elegant beauty is so reassuring, as if only a faint fragrance of flowers is left around her.

I lay down cautiously beside her, only to find a cloud of purple smoke condensed above her forehead.

It's not that I'm surprised, I'm surprised that I can't help but inhale that purple smoke!

My hunger pangs faded and my stomach felt better, but my heart ached like a pins and needles.

I can't really be a ghost who sucks human spirit!

I tried to resist, but my body unconsciously inhaled the smoke.

Gradually, my sleepiness swallowed up my consciousness, and I fell asleep beside her.

Then I seemed to see her in her cardamom years in my dreams.

Is this her dream?

In my dream, it snowed very hard that year.

The goose-feathered snowflakes seem to want to swallow up the prosperous capital.

The young man in the dream was still the emperor who had just ascended the throne.

Concubine Li in the dream is still the adopted daughter of an ordinary family.

"The Emperor,,, Prince! Where are we going? Wei Qi was a little helpless.

On such a cold day, Zhengxiang, who was sleeping in the bed, was abducted out of the palace by his master, half-coerced and half-intimidated.

He shrank his head in the biting cold wind, and his sleepy eyes widened a little.

"What, regret leaving the palace with me? Why did you go earlier, it's too late to regret it now! ”

After saying that, the boy in the brocade dress stretched out his hand from the wide robe and gave Wei Qi a chestnut suddenly.

This knock Wei Qi's sleepy eyes were completely opened, and he rubbed his head and said that he was very innocent!

After following the master for more than ten years, he is still beaten every day, which is really shameless! Doesn't the master know that if you knock on your head too much, it will be big?!

Wei Qi is a child of the rivers and lakes, his parents are proficient in martial arts, but when he was eight years old, his family was killed by the enemy, and he was saved by the master's mother.

The master's mother is an extremely kind-hearted person, she let him accompany the master to study and practice martial arts, and even hoped that he could be loyal to his master for the rest of his life before he died.

And Wei Qi is also a person who knows Entu Bao very well, and he always regards protecting his master as his lifelong mission.

"Childe, you can't understand the people's feelings when you're wandering around the street now, and now it's so cold, and the pigs are wandering around the street!" Wei Qi said extremely seriously.

Peng! Wei Qi's head was hit again.

This time, the master was a little ruthless, and Wei Qi's head quickly turned red, but it was probably because the weather was too cold, and he didn't feel very painful.

"It seems that I've been so good to you lately, you dare to call me a pig!" Duan Xuan gritted his teeth and said.

"Wei Qi didn't scold the master for being a pig, Wei Qi was reminding the master not to be a pig." He said seriously.

“……”

A master and a servant frolicked in the streets, and before they knew it, they had reached the outskirts of the city.

The vast expanses of open space were all large white, like the white cloth that his mother had covered her body when she died, and it looked particularly lonely and sad in such a cold winter.

"Childe, do you smell a scent?"

Wei Qi stretched his neck forward, his nose kept sniffing, his appearance was really funny, and it reminded people of the big white sow raised by the farmers in the village.

"Enough!" Duan Xuan slapped Wei Qi on the back of the head, "Look at your appearance, it's so cold, others think I abused you and didn't give you a meal when they saw it!" ”

Wei Qi timidly shrunk his neck, rubbed the back of his head, and silently wept in his heart, one day he must revolt and ask for a raise!

In this way, she was physically abused and disliked, and the treatment was not as good as the big sow raised by the peasant women in the village!

Duan Xuan ignored his silent protests, and he followed the direction of the incense to a dilapidated temple.

He walked towards the abandoned temple and saw such a scene.

The dilapidated temple was cleaned very neatly, the broken doors and windows were also hung with some old cotton wool to block the wind, and there was a pile of firewood in the temple, and a swarthy cauldron hung above the firewood.

The aroma comes from this cauldron.

Standing next to the pot was a young girl in a blue floral cloth dress, with a thick black braided braided hair hanging down her waist, a small face, and some wet bangs on her forehead, like an easy-going and gentle washerwoman by the water in the south of the Yangtze River.

She struggled to stir the food in the cauldron, and the light of the fire flickered, flushing her face.

She divided the food in the pot into bowls and handed them to the beggars sitting on the haystack in the corner of the temple wall.

"Girl, can you give it to the next bowl of soup?"

Duan Xuan's voice was warm and clear, like a warm current in this cold and windy winter, penetrating into people's hearts, and even the beggars who were eating porridge around couldn't help but stop and look at him.

She didn't stop, still stirring the porridge in the pot, just raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Duan Xuan, even though she smiled like a flower.

"Of course, you can, but you have to wait for me to finish the porridge, and if there is any leftover, I will give it to you."

Her eyes were bright and curved, and the fire that flashed with such an innocent smile dimmed.

"Bold! How dare you give leftovers to your son?! ”

Wei Qi rushed forward to snatch the spoon from her hand, but she dodged it lightly.

"The two sons are well-dressed, and at a glance they know that they are not ordinary people, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing, so why should they grab food with these ordinary poor people?" She was still smiling, but there was no smile in her eyes.

"Girl, I'm sorry, it's because my subordinates are too unreasonable, please don't take it to heart." Duan Xuan pulled Wei Qi back, his face warm.

"It's still this son's reason."

She put a bowl of porridge in Duan Xuan's hand, and Duan Xuan felt a faint fragrance of plum blossoms coming to his nose, with a coolness like ice grains and even some of the breath of a young girl.

Duan Xuan was stunned, then looked at the paste-like object in the bowl, the appearance was strange, and he knew that the taste was not good, but he ate it without hesitation.

He thought it would be hard to swallow, but the taste was unexpected.

He has eaten countless delicacies in the world, but this one has never been tasted before.

"This is called hot rice, porridge made from leftover vegetable soup from lunch, you must eat it while it is hot, it is very fragrant."

She seemed to see through his thoughts, and explained to him with a smile.

"Leftovers?! Why don't you throw it out, it's so disgusting, you still use it to cook! Wei Qi jumped to the side again.

Duan Xuan shook a fierce glance to shut him up, and Wei Qi had no choice but to step aside timidly.

"You are the son of a rich family, how can you understand the suffering of the people, the government is corrupt and taxed, and the people's grievances have become useless defenses, and there is no human sympathy for the people, how can people who even have problems with survival care about whether this dish is leftovers?"

She sighed, speaking without resentment, only a hint of sympathy and pity.

"Doesn't the government care? Every year, the imperial court distributes silver taels to help the people, are these still not enough? Duan Xuan asked with a heavy brow.

"Of course it's not enough, it's not enough." She stood up and straightened the hem of her clothes.

"For those corrupt officials, it's not enough for them to have fun, and when the money reaches the people, there will only be a bowl of porridge left."

In an extremely bland tone, she recounted the extremely indifferent atrocities of the officials.

"It's getting late, I'm going back." She smiled slightly, not paying attention to his heavy eyebrows.

"Hurry up, hurry up." Wei Qi shouted again.

Duan Xuan didn't stop Wei Qi, but also stood up, raised the corners of his mouth at her, and said, "Can you keep it for the next night?" ”

She was stunned for a moment, but raised her eyebrows again and said, "Give me a reason." ”

Duan Xuan smiled, smiling so gracefully and luxuriously, warm as a cloud.

"The reason is that I and the girl are the same people who have the world in mind."

Her eyes lit up, and she burst out laughing.

"Good! You come with me, the humble house is shabby, don't dislike it. ”

She was not born to her current parents, she was an outcast and was adopted by her current parents.

Her adoptive parents are just ordinary people, doing some small businesses to make ends meet, barely living a fairly stable life.

Duan Xuan and Concubine Li, walking from the abandoned temple to the center of the capital, stepped on the endless white snow.

At the junction of the suburbs of the city and the city, I saw a few scattered houses, like a few scattered tombstones in the dark, exuding a trace of yin in this cold winter.

"There are not enough rooms at home, only this one room is decent, so you can be wronged and stay in a room tonight."

The candlelight was swaying gently, reflecting her very small face.

"How can you be wronged, I just hope that the girl will not be too troublesome."

Duan Xuan smiled gently, but in fact, his foot was stomping on Wei Qi's instep fiercely.

"I ,,, me, and I'm not wronged!"

Wei Qi wants to cry without tears, how can he not be wronged? Doesn't he know the character of his master?

The master is warm, and he may be full.

The master is hungry and cold, he must be even worse!

But due to the obscenity of his master, he could only obey him.

"My name is Shen Qianxun, you can find me if you have any questions." She bent her eyes and smiled innocently.

"Coincidentally, we have the same surname, in Xia Shen Luoxuan, this is my entourage Wei Qi."

Duan Xuan also looked sincere, and he couldn't see the slightest flaw at all.

"That's a coincidence."

Shen Qianxun squinted his eyes, and after a few polite words, he went out.

"Master, what do you want, you don't live in the first-class room of the Splendid Inn, but you come to this place, is the master taking a fancy to other girls?"

As soon as Shen Qianxun left, Wei Qi couldn't hold back and began to complain.

"Your reaction today was unusual."

Duan Xuan picked the wick, his voice was low, if you wanted to listen to the voice, you would never guess that it was coming from a person's mouth.

"I ......"

Wei Qi's face suddenly froze, and he was speechless.

"Do you know this girl well, it seems that you are very hostile to her."

Duan Xuan turned the jade wrench on his thumb and looked at Wei Qi.

Wei Qi saw the master's deep eyes, and couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly knelt down.

"My subordinates never knew Chihiro girl."

Duan Xuan immediately returned to his dignified appearance, and said with a smile, "This time, Miss Chihiro is very affectionate, it's not early, let's rest." ”

"The subordinates don't dare." Wei Qi lowered his head even harder.

"If you don't sleep, then I'll sleep, don't blame me for not giving you a bed to sleep on when the time comes."

Duan Xuan got up slowly, his voice casual, as if the depth just now was really just a joke.

He lay down on the bed and lowered the hanging curtain.

Wei Qi was still kneeling on the ground, but the extremely low temperature in winter could not suppress the cold sweat on his forehead.

Looking at the bed separated by the curtain, his heart was a little more calm.

But before his heart could be calmed, he heard the lazy but dangerous voice of his master again.

"Don't do anything that annoys me."
