At the beginning of the hour, Sanhua went to Youyue Hall to replace the sun and moon lamp.

The Lotus Zen lantern paid tribute by the Goryeo Kingdom lit up a room full. The day lantern is lit in the daytime, the lights are brilliant, illuminating the interior brightly, Sanhua looks at it from a distance, and the Yuetang is like a delicate and transparent sheep's horn lantern in the dark and dull twilight.

There was no one in the room, sandalwood burned in the silence, the day lamp was replaced by a moon lamp, the things around him were darkened, and the portrait hanging in front of the table seemed to soften.

Although the portrait is covered with a layer of moon-white light veil, the woman's face on the painting is still faintly recognizable. The scarlet cloak is surrounded by a goose egg face, snow-skinned red lips, thick eyebrows, and a red plum in his hand is handed to his lips, smiling smartly. Especially a pair of eyes, through the light veil, seducing the soul, stunned Sanhua for a long time.

It wasn't until Huicao patted her on the shoulder that she came to her senses.

"Our county lord is beautiful, right? This painting was painted by the emperor for the county lord. Huicao looked up at the portrait and asked her without rolling her eyes.

"Beauty is beauty, it's just that before I entered the palace, I heard that the county lord was rude and willful, and he even killed the palace maid."

"Nonsense!" Huicao was not angry, and almost spat on Sanhua's face, "It's all the people outside, jealous of the county lord being favored by the queen mother, although he is only the county lord, but he enjoys the prince's fortune, and he makes up nonsense!" Don't believe it, our county lord is the best person in the world. ”

Sanhua was skeptical, but one thing was certain, Li Puyue, the lord of Lingxian County, was the widow of the former prince, and she was extremely loved by the empress dowager. Listen to the palace people said, the Empress Dowager did not believe in Buddhism in the past, the Buddha Hall in the palace are only those Niang Niang worship, since the death of the Lingxian County Lord, the Empress Dowager is actually abnormal, every day to ask God to ask the Buddha, worship Zen lamps, and even change the county lord's living in the Yueyue Hall into a Buddha hall, just to be able to recruit back the lonely soul of the county lord. Even the emperor often came here.

Just thinking like this, there were a lot of footsteps outside the porch, and it turned out to be the emperor. Sanhua and Huicao retreated - the emperor has always loved to stay here alone.

The young emperor Li Jingsheng, not long ago, joined forces with his imperial grandmother to imprison his father, Emperor Jingren, and ascended to the throne. But for several days, there was not necessarily any joy on his face. The palace people speculated that it was at the same time that the Lingxian County Lord died violently, and the palace mourned, and he didn't dare to be too excited in front of the overly sad Empress Dowager.

The tall and straight figure stood silently in front of the portrait, like Sanhua who had just been stunned. After a long time, a hand stretched out from the sleeve of the black embroidered gold thread dragon pattern, and gently and gently, brushed the gauze curtain in front of the portrait. The woman in the painting seemed to be smiling even more, and Li Jingsheng raised her hand to cover her chest, as if she had been punched hard.

"You're here too." A twilight voice sounded behind him, and he didn't look back, knowing that it was the emperor's grandmother, and still looking at the painting.

The people who came seemed to be looking at the painting, and the grandparents were silent for a while, before they heard the Empress Dowager speak: "Your sister was only sixteen that year, and you took her to enjoy the plum blossoms on a snowy day, and when you came back, I saw that you had made such a painting." I didn't expect you to go to Datong for so many years and always take it with you. It's just that you haven't seen her in the past few years, and she has stood out a little more, no more immature than in the painting. ”

"It's not the one I took with me." Li Jingsheng only turned around to face the Empress Dowager at this time, "This is my repainting, I don't know how many ......"

The Empress Dowager was stunned, the sandalwood was thick, it was originally used by people who participated in Zen meditation to calm their minds, but she smelled a trace of indescribable sabre-rattling.

"I love her."

This time she was completely stunned, speechless for a long time, her mind was full of confusion, and when her grandson was about to leave, she swallowed heavily and said, "She is your cousin!" ”

The Xuanxi Disc Dragon Soap Boots stopped, accompanied by a seemingly nonchalant sneer: "What about my cousin?" What about the same clan and the same clan? And what about the royal scandal? Imperial grandmother, others are okay, you know your grandson best, what I want, when did you miss it? ”

"But she's already married to another woman!"

"Even if she marries and reconciles with Wuqing Boshizi Qin Se, I will rob it. What's more, I heard that Lin Hongzhi has ignored her for three years......" Li Jingsheng didn't finish his words, but the meaning was already clear, ignoring the queen mother who was thrilling in the sandalwood, raised his feet and left.

——

Xue Mingcan woke up with his eyes open and muttered angrily, "What a mess! ”

It's such a room that is clearly shaky but can't be seen, and it's such a man in black, and an old woman with a golden hair, but this time I don't know what to say, and the old woman is very frightened.

But she was so frightened that she had nothing to do with herself? Xue Mingcan only knew that for several months, she couldn't sleep because of these chaotic dreams.

Leng Hui, who was guarding outside the bed tent, heard this and knew that it was the girl who woke up. Since the girl had a serious illness, after she recovered, she seemed to be a different person, and every time she woke up in the morning, the first thing she said must be: what a mess. Occasionally, it will be mixed with a few swear words from the market.

She is the son of a family, and she has followed her father and mother to work in Wuqing Bofu since she was a child, so the first time she heard Miss Xue's market words, she didn't understand much, and when she asked, it was really vulgar and embarrassed.

However, Miss Xue didn't often say these words when she first came, and she was a person who was only a promise, and she was also low-eyed and pleasing to such maids, and after being bullied by the eldest lady, she had to be sarcastically ridiculed by the maids from time to time.

Leng Hui sympathized with her at first, after all, she was only a twelve-year-old girl, and she was a few years older than her, so she served with all her heart, but then she fell ill and her temperament changed greatly, but she liked the little girl she served more and more.

"Is the girl going to get up and wash?" Leng Hui was about to go to fetch water, but unexpectedly, a snow lotus-like arm stretched out from the brocade quilt, and her small palm swung at her twice, and quickly retracted.

It looks like I'm going to have to sleep with my head covered for a while. Leng Hui put down the bed curtain, went to the side to take an embroidery pier, sat down to do needlework, and after a while Miaohui came back, carrying a small mahogany round food box in her hand.

"Got it?"

Miaohui nodded, "I just went to the kitchen to reheat it again." As he spoke, he gently lifted the lid of the box, and the white mist overflowed, carrying the fragrance of lotus leaves.

"What a fragrant tea fruit." Leng Hui was about to ask Xue Mingcan to have breakfast, but when she turned around, she saw that the lotus-blue curtain had already been lifted, and a small person was sitting next to the small lacquered bed, with a pair of eyes shining.

Xue Mingcan stared at the mahogany food box, and his eyes were not willing to turn and went straight to the table. As soon as the food box was opened, a few white and fat tea fruits were obediently lying in the milky white mist, and she didn't take the chopsticks, but directly reached out and pinched one.

"It's my favorite pork and bean filling!"

Leng Hui saw that she was gasping for breath, but her eyes were smiling crookedly, and she looked very satisfied, she was amused, took a bowl, and said, "Girl, throw it in the bowl and eat it slowly, you can't run." ”

I don't know what's wrong, Miss Xue has been here for a year and a half, and I haven't heard her talk about her love for tea fruits, and when she recovers from her illness, the first thing she says when she wakes up is: "Lin Hongxue, can you go to the Huixian Building in Xinmen to buy me tea fruits to eat?" ”

When they heard this, they all looked at each other and were surprised. First, Lin Hongxue in Miss Xue's mouth is the second master of the house, the son of Uncle Wuqing, and also Miss Xue's cousin, but the two have never been close; Second, Miss Xue has never had a chance to go out since she came to Yanjing, how do you know that there is a Huixian Building in Xinmen?

Surprised and surprised, but the tea fruit was finally bought back, but it was bought back by Uncle Lin Xian. Uncle has always been the most precious Miss Xue.

When Miaohui heard Leng Hui say this, she also laughed and told her, "Girl, be careful of burning your mouth." ”

"It's okay, the skin is rough and the meat is thick, and it will be hot wherever it is." Xue Mingcan continued to feast on it, and asked, "Have you eaten?" Let's eat together. ”

As he spoke, he pushed the food box in front of the two of them. Leng Hui pursed her lips and smiled, and said; "I wonder if the girl is asking about breakfast or lunch? We had breakfast two hours ago, and we would have to wait a little longer for lunch. ”

"I'm up late again?" There was neither surprise nor remorse in his tone, because even if he got up early, there was nothing waiting for her to do.

Xue Mingcan continued to bury his head in eating tea fruits, "What about my brother?" Has he been here? ”

"Young Master Xue asked the uncle to take him out early in the morning, but the third master came once." Miao Hui said, "We said that the girl was asleep, so he asked the girl if she still ate tea fruits." We knew that the girl had been thinking about it for a while, so she said that she wanted to, but she didn't expect the third master to really go out and buy it back. ”

"He's idle all day." Xue Mingcan swallowed the last bite and climbed back into bed satisfied. As soon as the bed curtain was closed, she suddenly lifted it again.

"If there is braised elbow at lunch, call me, forget it if you don't have it."
