This night was the first day of the lunar month, and the emperor stayed in the queen's palace as usual. Ruyi listened to the cold wind outside the window, the snow fell, and was thinking about the light in front of her, but when she saw Ah Ji coming in, she shook off the snowflakes all over her body, and said closely: "Little master." ”

Ruyi poured a bowl of tea from her pot and handed it to her, and then held the stove for her: "Drink a cup of hot tea to warm up first." ”

Ah Zhen was so cold that he shivered, and drank all the tea in one go, Fang Nuan came over and said, "I have inquired clearly." Mei's promise is indeed from our house, and it is also the person who came in the hands of the old master. However, that year, the first emperor selected the musicians of Nanfu, and all the mansions picked good ones and sent them in, but we were not the only ones. The slave and maid asked, and Mei promised to be seventeen this year, and she was sent in when she was twelve years old. ”

The red basket charcoal in the brazier burned extremely vigorously, and from time to time burst out a few red fire ideas. Ruyi slowly brushed her nails and said contemplatively: "Could it be that my aunt arranged people in the palace so early?" It's just that there is such a person, and my aunt has never mentioned it to me. ”

Ah Ji twisted his braid and said, "The slave thinks the same way." It's just that in the last few years, the old master was too busy to take care of himself, and he didn't have much contact with the little master, and there were some people who forgot about it. ”

Ruyi nodded: "Maybe we think too much, but all the prefectures have sent people in, and we happen to have one." fell into the eyes of others, and suspicion gave birth to a dark ghost, thinking that I had instigated it to be sent to the emperor. ”

Ah Ji said: "Isn't it? What kind of mess is planted on our heads, the little master should not be so good-natured. When you give them a cold look, they will know that it is powerful. ”

Ruyi smiled: "No matter how powerful it is, it can't be your mouth!" She squatted down, picked up the heavy fire chopsticks and plucked the charcoal in the brazier, and a burst of aroma came out from the bottom. It's the taste of roasted chestnuts! ”

Ruyi smiled: "I know you love to eat, I just threw a few chestnuts into the brazier as soon as you went out, which is just right at this time." You take the fire chopsticks out and burn your hands carefully. ”

Ah Ji hurriedly smiled and agreed, took out the roasted chestnuts, and peeled them off and ate them without caring about the heat.

The warm pavilion was brightly lit, faintly revealing the sweet fragrance of chestnuts, and the master and servant looked at each other and smiled, but they were also happy.

After a few days, whenever there is a servant, it must be the Mei of Yonghe Palace who agrees, and he is deeply favored and in the limelight for a while. In addition, it was inconvenient to go out for several days of heavy snow, so the queen was exempted from morning and dusk, and for a while, everyone had countless curiosities about this Mei promise, who had never met.

After five or six days, the snow stopped and cleared, and I was finally able to go out. On this day, everyone arrived very early in the palace.

Sure enough, he sat down to chat with the queen for a few words, and a eunuch outside the palace said: "Mei promised to arrive." ”

Hearing this, the concubines who were still laughing and talking quieted down and looked out unconsciously.

I saw the door of the hall open, a woman dressed in a cherry red embroidered gardenia butterfly Su satin flag dress walked in with her head down, she combed her delicate hair bun, no gold ornaments in her hair, only sporadic decoration with tourmaline flowers, two snow-colored beaded hairpins on the bun, and a grain of purple Ying beads embedded in the curled sideburns. When I got closer, I saw that her dress was embroidered with a small and small shallow crimson gardenia petals, accompanied by the blue and light green butterflies of the silver thread lake.

Seeing that she was not dressed in the past, Concubine Hui sneered: "Foxy! ”
