The man rested in front of her like a great shadow, obscuring all light. Everything not far away faintly blurred, becoming an illusory and distant floating shadow. She faintly heard the queen's anxious voice calling: "Your Majesty—" The voice made everyone indifferent.

Behind him, the bright light of the fire reflected on the wind-blown clothes, floating with a distant and vain luster. He stepped forward silently, and Ruyi also curled up in a ball silently. Only the wind in the corridor wandered through and wandered unconsciously, and it swayed into the ears.

He leaned down, put the red and gold cloak on his body on her, and gently brushed away the wet and greasy hair on her face with his fingers, and said softly: "It's autumn, don't freeze." ”

With such a soft tone, Qingyue is like a crescent moon in the sky, as if it is moonlight with the fragrance of flowers, quietly and serenely diffusing the smell that is difficult to enter the nose around, and quietly diffuse. It seems that when he first saw her in the past, he also called her in that tone: "Sister Qingying." ”

She nodded slightly, and turned her face away: "Don't look at me, save me a little face, don't see me when I'm so embarrassed." ”

He also bowed his head: "No matter how many years have passed, you are still that strong sister in my heart." He stood up and said softly and solemnly: "Qingying, take care." ”

At this moment, he called her "Qingying" instead of "Ruyi". It was the happy green cherry blossoms of the previous years, at that time, they were still young, and their hearts were heavy and concise. Instead of "Ruyi", the little concubine who tried her best to protect herself in the harem and tried her best to make plans, the woman who was wronged and was sent to the cold palace by him.

Qingying, Hongli, that was their best years.

Unfortunately, it's all in the past.

He turned around and left, without the slightest nostalgia, and when he came to the queen's side, he said lightly: "The personnel are not injured, go back." ”

The queen agreed, looked at his back as he left first, glanced back at the extremely embarrassed Ruyi, and buried a trace of resentment deep in her eyes.

This fire came suddenly, and although no one was burned to death in the cold palace, several were burned. Fortunately, it was discovered early, but half of the houses in the cold palace were also burned down. The Queen Mother and the Emperor were almost furious because of the fire in Chongyang. However, after checking and checking, it was only caused by the wind that day was too strong and blew down the fireworks. Concubine Hui was impatient, and she was afraid that the emperor would blame her, so she knelt outside the Heart Cultivation Hall and took off the hairpin to wait for the crime. The emperor refused to blame her, and just appeased her a few words.

When Jiang Youbin came, he said these words to Ruyi, and Ruyi just sneered: "The cold palace is damp, even if it is on fire, the fire will not be so big, not to mention that after waking up and checking with me, the first place to burn up is on the roof of my house, where there are still some traces of oil, as if someone poured oil on it to burn so quickly." ”

Jiang Youbin sneered coldly: "Really? Fortunately, he only burned a few people, and he didn't have to burn anything, otherwise it would be difficult to cover up the incident. ”

Ruyi smiled: "People who dare to do such things will definitely have the ability to cover up." ”

Jiang Youbin said: "It's just that the emperor has been annoying in the harem recently, so he doesn't enter the harem much, and if he enters, it's just to see the sea nobles." Even the newly sealed Shu Guiren was not pampered, and he kept it there. ”

Ruyi hesitated a little, but still groaned: "Your Majesty...... Out of sorts? ”

"If something like this happens to a big festival like Chongyang, it's no wonder that the emperor is unhappy."

Ruyi eased her breath and said with concern: "What about Hailan?" ”

Jiang Youbin hesitated slightly, and said thoughtfully: "The fetus is good." It's just that when I was pregnant with my first child and didn't think about eating and drinking for the first three months, I had a big appetite these days. ”

Ruyi smiled reassuringly: "It's a good thing to be able to eat, Hailan used to be too thin." ”

Jiang Youbin also smiled: "It's a good thing, it's to get fat faster, Weichen always told Hai Guiren to move around more." Otherwise, the production will have to endure hardship. He looked around: "The little master's original house burned down, and now there is the house where Concubine Ji used to live, so let's settle it for a while." ”

Ruyi was also indifferent: "Where you live is not to live, and you can't leave here left and right." ”

Jiang Youbin saw a red gold cloak resting on the couch, decorated with coral and beeswax beads with patterns that were less than 10,000 characters, and embroidered into a jade algae pattern with golden silk threads. This is the pattern used by the queen, he naturally recognizes it, and he unconsciously smiled and arched his hand: "It seems that the fire in the cold palace is intended for the little master, but it makes the little master get an unexpected joy." ”

Ruyi helped her loose bun and said, "If you are free, take it out for me and return it to the emperor." If you stay here, you will have right and wrong. ”

Jiang Youbin said: "Okay." However, Weichen has one thing, which is for the heart. He opened the medicine box and took out a pack of dim sum: "This is Wanbao Zhai's sour plum cake, my favorite food." Wechen specially brought it to her to comfort her from the fright of being trapped by the fire. ”

Ruyi touched the wrapping paper outside the pastry and sighed: "After seeing people's hearts for a long time, I am worried about following a master like me, and I am so down, your heart for her is still the same, which is the most rare." ”

Jiang Youbin's face was sincere, and he said: "Weichen and Xinxin are both from poor backgrounds, why dislike each other." Even if she wants to accompany the little master in the cold palace for the rest of her life, Weichen will not change her mind. ”

Ruyi got up and wrapped the emperor's cloak, handed it to Jiang Youbin and said, "That day, the guards of the cold palace rushed in in in order to save our people, I don't know if they were injured?" Or did the emperor punish him? ”

Jiang Youbin said: "It's just that I was choked by the fireworks, it's fine." The emperor also saw that they tried their best to save people, and he did not blame them. The little lord means ......"

Ruyi looked at the dark sky outside, and said worriedly: "I'm afraid that they will rush to save people and offend people." Although the emperor did not blame for a while, if someone plotted against him......"

Jiang Youbin smiled confidently: "That's easy to do." Just think of a way to get him sick and avoid the limelight. This wechen will arrange. As for Xinxin, she was choked by the smoke so badly that she couldn't get out of bed for a while, Weichen would leave a few more pills here, and the little master would feed her on time. ”

Ruyi bowed her head and said, "Come back and bring me a bag of important things." This thing can't be obtained by anyone else except you. After listening to Ruyi's whispers, Jiang Youbin's face sank, and a trace of confusion flashed, but he still agreed: "But according to the orders of the little master." ”

When Jiang Youbin arrived at Yanxi Palace to ask for a pulse, the emperor was sitting on the couch of the warm pavilion with Hailan. It was nearly dusk, the hall was a little dark, only a wisp of oblique light penetrated into the long window, and the chill of early autumn was like a vein of clear water, slowly penetrating the bones.

Jiang Youbin asked for peace, and the emperor was in a state of interest and casually ordered. Jiang Youbin asked for a pulse, and said "the fetal gas is stable", so he respectfully presented the cloak entrusted by Ruyi with both hands: "Weichen just went to the cold palace to ask for a pulse, and Ruyi asked Weichen to transfer this thing to the emperor, saying that the cold palace is unclean and cannot accommodate holy relics." The little lord has been cleaned, please take it back from the emperor. ”

The emperor was slightly distracted, but Li Yu was alert, and quickly took over: "It's hard to be a little master of Ruyi, in a pickled place like the cold palace, the emperor's clothes can be cleaned so cleanly, I don't know how many times she washed it carefully." ”

The Emperor stretched out his hand and said, "Show me." Li Yu hurriedly offered it, and the emperor reached out and stroked it carefully, and said slowly: "It was specially put on her on the day the fire started, when I saw that she was soaking wet." Does she dislike it that much? I sent it back in a hurry. ”

Hailan combed her hair in a homely bun, her head was decorated with jade ornaments with ruyi cloud patterns, and a ruyi pearl hairpin fell obliquely on her ears, refreshing and gentle. She said politely: "What my sister means, I'm afraid that the hometown is more timid, and touching the scene will hurt the feelings." She is already the emperor's abandoned concubine, how can she still accept the emperor's things. Sister she ......"

The emperor waved his hand and said, "That's it." I understand. ”

Li Yu hurriedly took it carefully and accepted it. The emperor asked Jiang Youbin: "Is Ruyi okay there?" ”

Jiang Youbin hurriedly knelt down and said, "If Weichen tells the truth, the emperor will definitely blame." ”

The Emperor smiled: "I asked you the wrong question." The cold palace is naturally not a good place, I asked her, is she okay? ”

"Everything else is fine, but people have lost a lot of weight. It's good to be with those crazy women all day long, and to be sober. ”

The emperor nodded slightly: "The Hai nobles recommended you to give her a safe pregnancy, and I was not at ease at first. There are many more people in the hospital than you have qualifications, and you are only on an errand in the cold palace. But the noble man said that you are old in doing things, and you are not a person who picks and chooses and bullies the Lord. I see that you are serving the sea nobles and Ruyi with all your heart, but I can rest assured. ”

Jiang Youbin said: "In the eyes of Wei Chen, there is no difference between the little master of the cold palace and the sea nobles, they are both small masters who Wei Chen must take care of with all his heart. ”

It just so happened that Xu An, the leader of the Jingshi room, came in with a green head card and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to turn over the card." ”

The emperor looked at the row of green-headed cards on the jet-black rosewood plate, and sneered, "Take it down." ”

Xu An said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, you haven't flipped the cards for a few days. Not to mention anything else, Shu Guiren is looking forward to your going. ”

The emperor glanced at him and said lightly, "Your errand is getting better and better." Who has to listen to you? ”

Xu An knelt down in a panic and said, "The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't dare." ”

Hailan hurriedly persuaded: "Shu Guiren was newly sealed by the emperor, but he was thrown aside before he was lucky, and his face was not very good-looking." Anyway, there is also the Queen Mother. ”

"I'm not in the mood for today." The emperor shook his head, pushed the sign away, and said gently, "Hailan, you have a good rest, I will go back to the Heart Cultivation Hall first." ”

Hailan hurriedly got up and sent the emperor out, and saw the emperor get on the sedan chair before slowly walking back.

The emperor sat on the sedan chair and watched the crowd of people in front and behind move calmly and quickly in the twilight, and a few crows fluttered their wings and flew across the golden-red sky dyed with ink, and felt a little lonely for no reason. He put his hand into his bosom and took out a thin silk handkerchief, on which only a few crimson lychees and a few pale cyan cherry blossoms were embroidered. He was stunned for a moment, holding it tightly in his hands, as if holding the warmth that had been lost and regained, and refused to let go.
