Bei Liuyun didn't go to sleep, but followed, stood in front of the door, quietly looked at the woman in the courtyard, looking at the sky in the night, he actually had a strong desire, wanting to hug her tightly into his arms.

The cold wind howled, but the woman stood in the courtyard all night, letting the wind and snow stain her shoulders white.

Behind the woman, Beiliuyun also stood like this all night, silent, motionless like a mountain.

The sky lit up little by little, and a touch of orange red in the east shone on the earth like fire.

Chu Luoyi finally moved, turned around and went back to the room, and when he passed Beiliuyun, he glanced at him and didn't speak.

Unexpectedly, it was just dawn, and Grandpa Xia sent someone.

"The slave is the little blessing next to Father-in-law Xia, and on the orders of Father-in-law, I invite Miss Luoyi to get together."

"Luo Yi is just a slave, and Father-in-law Xia has something, even if he is told." Chu Luoyi lowered his eyes and was very deferential.

"It's snowing and cold today, and the slave brought a cloak to the girl, and asked the girl to smile." Xiaofuzi said with a smile.

Chu Luoyi looked at the black and red cloak in his hand, took it and draped it on his body, and his drooping eyes flashed with a gleam.

"Miss Luoyi, please." Xiaofuzi leads the way in front.

When Chu Luoyi looked back, he happened to meet those glass-colored eyes, looked at each other for a moment, retracted his gaze and closed the door casually.

As Xiaofuzi walked on the road, Chu Luoyi thought repeatedly in her heart, this Xia Gonggong's movements were a few points faster than she expected, what was his mind?

The embroidered shoes creaked on the snow, and Xiao Fuzi occasionally looked at Chu Luoyi, and a touch of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He is not low in this palace, although he can't be compared with giants like Zhou Xia and the others, but he is definitely not a little eunuch who has never seen the world, according to him, although this Chu Luoyi is dressed in palace clothes, if he sees the holy face one day, it is very likely that he will turn over and fly on the branches.

It didn't take long to arrive at Weng He Palace, which was the location of Gonggong Xia.

Chu Luoyi thought that when they met for the first time, Father-in-law Xia would inevitably give her a dismount and make her wait for a long time in this icy and snowy place, but she was wrong.

"Luo Yi is here, come in." Grandpa Xia is lukewarm and elusive.

Chu Luoyi's heart sank slightly, all the people who can mix up in this palace are human spirits, this Xia Gonggong is really not a fuel-efficient lamp!

"Well, it's a good look, it's a pity to be a palace maid." Father-in-law Xia picked up the teacup and looked at Chu Luoyi.

"The father-in-law praised that slaves and maids are inherently lowly, so naturally they can only be slaves and maids."

"Oh, our family doesn't like to hear this, our family doesn't believe it, who in this world is willing to be a slave forever."

Chu Luoyi didn't refute, she couldn't figure out the purpose of Father-in-law Xia for a while, she raised her eyes and looked at Father-in-law Xia quietly, this person didn't look as shrewd as Father-in-law Zhou, slightly fat, smiling, and seemed to be very good at talking, but she knew that this kind of person was accustomed to greeting him, and he was far more ruthless than Father-in-law Zhou.

Father-in-law Xia bowed his head, and the little eunuch moved a chair for Chu Luoyi.

Chu Luoyi has been tensing his heartstrings, speculating on Xia Cheng's thoughts, but who knows that he has been chatting with her about some innocuous issues, and in the face of her few words, he has also chatted until the time of lunch, Xia Cheng even left her to have lunch together, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, with a smile on his face.

The meal was peaceful, what did Father-in-law Xia ask, Chu Luoyi also answered all questions, and occasionally asked a few words, and the meal was happy.

After the meal, it was already past noon, and the sun was hanging on the horizon, but it was still difficult to bring warmth.

"With you as a companion today, our family is very happy, our family knows that you have a good relationship with Zhou's father-in-law, so I won't be embarrassed with you, our family doesn't ask you to work for our family, I just hope that you won't be an enemy of our family in the future." Father-in-law Xia said gently.

"Luo Yi is just a minion, so naturally he will not be an enemy of his father-in-law." Chu Luoyi lowered his eyes and said.

"With your words, our family will rest assured, Xiaofuzi~"

Xiao Fuzi walked in with a tray in his hand, and on it were twenty white silver ingots: "These silver are a piece of my father-in-law's heart, and I ask the girl to smile." ”

"Thank you, father-in-law." Chu Luoyi did not shirk.

Seeing this, Gonggong Xia ordered Xiaofuzi to send her back.

Father-in-law Xia looked at Chu Luoyi's back and narrowed his eyes, this Chu Luoyi was more difficult to deal with than he imagined, if it wasn't an extremely stupid person, it was a scheming one, but no matter what, he wouldn't live for a few days.

After walking out of Weng He Palace, Xiao Fuzi took the initiative to say: "It seems that my father-in-law likes the girl very much, and he has rewarded so much silver." ”

"How could my father-in-law take these rewards in his eyes, just the pure gold lock on my father-in-law's waist is more than these twenty ingots of silver." Chu Luoyi's gaze fell on his waist.

A moire gold lock engraved with a longevity and a hundred years old, strung with pearls and jade, hung on Xiaofuzi's waist, looming under the placket.

"This golden lock is given by Father-in-law Xia, my hometown is in Nanyang, I have learned shadow puppetry with my master before entering the palace, this craft has won the eyes of the general manager, so I want to let the slave show his hand in front of the emperor, this golden lock is the reward given by Father-in-law Xia, saying that as long as the performance is good, there will be a heavy reward." Xiao Fuzi mentioned this matter, and his face was proud.

Chu Luo's eyes were slightly dark, and his expression remained unchanged: "In this palace, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and it is better for my father-in-law to be careful." ”

"That's right." Xiao Fuzi seemed to feel something and nodded.

Chu Luoyi saw that he didn't take it to heart, and she didn't say anything more, she could only remind him that at this point, it was useless to say more, not to mention that she was also struggling!

After returning to the room, Chu Luoyi sat at the table and did not move, looking at the tray full of silver ingots, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This Xia Cheng is really a good calculation, invite her to go today, Father-in-law Zhou will definitely get the news, and naturally he will know that he has a good conversation with him, so that Xia Cheng stayed for his own meal, and finally even gave her twenty ingots of silver.

In this way, Father-in-law Zhou will inevitably wonder if she has turned into the enemy camp, and in order to erase this uneasiness, Father-in-law Zhou will definitely want to get rid of her, and would rather kill her by mistake than let her become Xia Cheng's help.

If she guessed correctly, if Father-in-law Zhou wanted to kill her, Xia Cheng would inevitably save her, making herself grateful and loyal to him, and at the same time hating Father-in-law Zhou.

If Grandpa Zhou doesn't make a move, then what awaits her will be another conspiracy!

Chu Luoyi stretched out his slender fingers, picked up a silver ingot and played with it in his hand, his eyes were extremely dark.

Just then, the door creaked open.

Beiliuyun walked in in a mess, and there was a lot of blood stained on the placket of his hands.

looked at Chu Luoyi in front of him, and put a brand-new pale pink jacket in front of her.

The jacket was stained with a few spots of red, and it was still a little wet, and it looked like it had just been abused.

Looking up at Beiliuyun's long frozen hair, he got up and said, "I'll go boil water for you, and there is still a set of clothes in the cabinet, you can change it first." ”

After a while, Beiliuyun was soaked in the wooden barrel, and the hot air made people unable to open their eyes.

After Chu Luoyi left today, he also went out, rarely with a little expectation, because he asked a palace maid who was in charge of purchasing to bring her a brand new jacket from outside the palace, even though he paid more than three times the price.

But on the way back with this jacket, a basin of cold water poured down from his head, and if he hadn't protected this jacket in his arms, he was afraid that it would have been wet.

Splashing the water was Tan Shan, the deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who was responsible for distributing monthly money and cloth and silver carbon to the masters of the palace, but since he went to his residence for the first time after taking office a few years ago, he has not been taken seriously.

"Yo, who should I be, isn't this His Royal Highness the Nine, on such a cold day, I don't know how to wear more." Tan Shan sneered.

He didn't say a word, glanced at him lightly, and staggered over.

The cold water quickly froze, and there was a piercing pain in the cold wind, but in comparison, he still felt more sorry for the jacket on his body, thinking that it was something she had worked so hard to get.

Tan Shan snorted coldly, what is it? Do you really think you're a prince?

After a glance, the two little eunuchs wanted to snatch the jacket in his arms, and even did not hesitate to punch and kick.

Seeing such an embarrassed Beiliuyun, Tan Shan's heart was finally a lot more relaxed, he was not less angry these days, but look, the dignified son, not even a dog is inferior.

It's just that later, Beiliuyun left with a jacket, but Tan Shan fell in the snowstorm, and the blood stained red.

The little eunuch approached, but was horrified to see that his heart had been ripped out by his hand, and a scattered heart was half a meter away from his corpse.

"I heard that you had a good conversation with Xia Cheng, and even accepted his reward." Gonggong Zhou looked at the woman in front of him with an uncertain expression.

"Father-in-law Xia's life money, how can the slave and maid not accept it?" The corners of Chu Luoyi's mouth hooked up a sneer.

Father-in-law Zhou was stunned for a moment, and narrowed his eyes: "Oh? Our family is curious, is this life to buy ours, or to buy him Xia Cheng? ”

"Everything still depends on my father-in-law's intentions."

Gonggong Zhou picked up the tea cup and understood that she had something to say, if he doubted her, he would push her to Xia Cheng's side, he would be the enemy, if he believed her, she would help him take Xia Cheng's life!

"Xia Cheng is not an easy character to deal with, our family has been fighting against him for many years, and we haven't decided the winner, what? Are you absolutely sure? ”

A flash of brilliance flashed in Chu Luoyi's eyes: "As long as the father-in-law dares to take risks, the slave will present the head of the father-in-law of Xia." ”

"Tell me about it."

Chu Luoyi told his plan, and Father-in-law Zhou's eyes lit up, and his expression was even more different when he looked at Chu Luoyi.

"Good! Do as you say! ”

Father-in-law Xia's food, Qiu Ju heard that Chu Luoyi and Xia Cheng had a very happy conversation, and she began to feel uneasy, she hadn't seen Xia Cheng reward anyone with so much silver, a sense of crisis arose, and when she got the news that she was summoned by Father-in-law Zhou, she immediately hid in front of Father-in-law Zhou, wanting to find an opportunity to test it.
