It was late at night.

Lan Xin was waiting for Chunxi to go to bed, and she didn't forget to nag a few words: "Little master, if it gets colder and colder today, the carbon in this charcoal basin is about to burn out." ”

"Isn't there a hand stove?" Chun Xi shook the hand stove in his hand.

"The slave maid heard that yesterday An's noble man was sleeping, and today Gonggong Liu of the Internal Affairs Office added some more red snail carbon, saying that it was ordered by the emperor." Lan Xin pursed her lips, looking very aggrieved.

"An Guiren is now favored, and those people in the Internal Affairs Office naturally dare not slack off." Shu Sleeve on the side said.

"Why isn't the little master in a hurry?" Lan Xin asked curiously.

Chun Xi smiled: "Lan Xin, do you think that I have been in the palace for so long, and now I have no favor, so you think that you have always lived a hard life with me?" ”

"Slaves don't dare." When Lan Xin heard this, she immediately knelt down.

"If so, I can let you go. In the past few days since I entered the palace, you have served you very thoughtfully, and you are diligent and obedient, if you really want to leave, I will naturally let you go. Chun Xi smiled and looked at Lan Xin with a sincere face.

"The slave and maid are grateful for the kindness of their master. Instead of having a good life, it is better to have a good master. Lan Xin was a little unhappy when she heard this, and underestimated.

Chun Xi nodded, and then answered Lan Xin's question just now: "Actually, it's useless for me to be anxious, not to mention that the emperor is still worried about the war." If I go to invite the pet at this time, the emperor will not be happy, so it is better to wait. ”

"What are you waiting for?" Lan Xin's eyes widened in anticipation of her reply.

"Wait for the emperor to think of me." Chun Xi said with a smile.

"It's easier said than done." Lan Xin was very puzzled, how could the waiting in this palace be so easy. Some people have waited all their lives to see the emperor.

Chun Xi was about to speak again, when he suddenly heard Liang Jiugong's voice outside.

"The emperor has arrived."

"Lan Xin, hurry, hurry." Shu Sleeve hurriedly put the headdress he had just removed on his head again. But Chunxi took it down and got up unhurriedly.

Walked out of the door amid Shu Sleeve's call and Lan Xin's stunned.

"Your Majesty, Blessed Saint." In this way, she didn't apply any rouge gouache, or even a gorgeous palace dress, she only wore a pale yellow undershirt and came out with her hair scattered.

"Get up." Xuan Ye was really taken aback when she saw her like this, but she immediately smiled knowingly. casually untied the big coat on her body and draped it on her body: "I'm not afraid of freezing." ”

Liang Jiugong behind him couldn't believe his eyes, this is probably the first time in the harem. I just went out to greet him. If it was someone else, even if it was too late, they would only hurriedly tidy up in the house, even if they waited until the emperor entered the door before they hurriedly came to salute. It's the first time to go out to greet her, it's the first time.

Chun Xi got up, turned sideways and let Xuan Ye into the room.

This is not the first time Xuan Ye has entered the door of Yikun Palace, but he has a desire to see her boudoir.

Xuan Ye walked to the East Warm Pavilion and walked to the bookcase, where there was a painting like last time. It's just that this time it was the pair of horses he let Liang Jiugong send to gallop.

Chunxi, who was following behind, suddenly blushed and lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him.

"I always thought you wouldn't be here." Xuan Ye suddenly spoke, making him baffled for a while.

"Your Majesty." Chunxi shouted, but didn't know what to say after shouting.

"That's not what you called me before." Xuan Ye looked at Liang Jiugong not far away, and he also retreated with a group of people.

"I-" Hearing him say this, Chunxi was shocked again. His sudden arrival tonight made her a little flustered, but it was also expected. I thought about this scene a long time ago, and I didn't deliberately wait for it to come, thinking that there would always be unexpected surprises. His few words now made her a little confused.

Xuan Ye didn't speak again, just looked at her quietly.

After a long while, Chun Xi reflected and called softly: "Third brother." ”

"Finally remembered? Back then, I didn't worship Ao, but it was thanks to you. If it weren't for your words to wake up the people in your dreams, where would I be today? ”

"It turns out that the housekeeper I said at that time was Aobai, Aozhongtang." Said clearly. She had guessed before, not that she hadn't thought of the answer. Listening to him say it himself, my heart was full of joy. Ao Bai is really his confidant, and he inadvertently helped him.

"That's right. I wanted to take you into the palace, but I couldn't find a reason, and I was afraid that I would scare you. Later, when I think about it, didn't you say that if I didn't come, you would find me? So thinking so, I waited uneasily. Xuan Ye looked at the shy man and said seriously.

"In this way, the third brother is really bad enough." With a smile on her face, it turned out that she was not the only one who was thinking about him for so many years.

"Oh?" Xuan Ye walked up to her and took her hand: "I made you wait for a long time." ”

Chun Xi shook his head: "No, not for a long time. Didn't I find it? ”

"Ziqing's food boxes were all sent by you, right?" Xuan Ye remembered Cao Ziqing's appearance and asked with a smile.

Chun Xi nodded, her cheeks flushed slightly: "It seems that Master Cao has already recruited." ”

"Why don't you send it yourself?" Seeing this, Xuan Ye asked.

Chun Xi smiled and replied, "Because I know that what the third brother needs at this time is not me, but quiet." Now that the war continues, the affairs of the court will definitely make the third brother sad. If I bother you at this time, it will only annoy you. An Guiren often passes, in fact, you don't want to see it, right? But in order not to let other people disturb her, it is better to let her be favored alone. Let her deal with the other concubines. Right. ”

"You get the idea." Xuan Ye smiled slightly. Such a smart woman really surprised him, but he liked it tightly. The struggle in the harem can only survive if you are so smart.

"When the queen went, I really hated such a palace. Full of death, danger. But I was destined to live in such a place. You're smart. I'm glad you're here, but I don't want you here. ”

"Your Majesty, Chunxi will protect himself well." Listening to Xuan Ye's words, he must have been quite suspicious of the queen's death.

Xuan Ye looked at her and felt a warmth in her heart, where could a woman say such a thing. For example, men protect women, and she even says that she will protect herself well.

"Your Majesty, it's not too early, so please go back to the palace first." Chun Xi said suddenly.

Xuan Ye was stunned again, and then smiled: "Is this driving me away?" How is it that the favor that no one else can ask for is disliked when it comes to you? ”

"Don't dare. Chunxi just thought that the emperor did not turn over the concubine's sign today, but when he arrived at the concubine's house, it was the first time to sleep. What's more, the emperor is already dealing with state affairs. If someone else knows, you're going to gossip again. Chun Xi said while pushing Xuan Ye out of the door.

"Chun Xi understands things. Anyway, I just came here on a whim. Thinking that there are still many things to deal with in the Qianqing Palace. I will go back today, and you will have a rest. Tomorrow, I will deliver the dim sum in person, so I don't have to borrow Ziqing's hand anymore. Xuan Ye grabbed her pushing hand and said softly.

Chun Xi nodded, pushed Xuan Ye again, and exited the door directly: "Yes." Please also ask the emperor to rest early, don't get tired and hurt the dragon's body. The concubine sent the emperor. ”

Although he was kicked out of the door, it was detrimental to the majesty of the Son of Heaven. But Xuan Ye's face was full of smiles.

"Your Majesty." Liang Jiugong watched Xuan Ye come out, and hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help him, but he pushed him away.

Looking at Xuanye like this, Liang Jiugong's heart was both happy and sad. This queen has never seen the emperor smile like this since she went. Half a year has passed, and today can be regarded as a sight. It's a pity that it won't be long before someone will follow in the queen's footsteps.

In this palace, getting the emperor's friendship is really not a happy thing.

The door of Yikun Palace was locked again, and Shu Sleeve and Mu Hui entered the house one after another.

"Why did the emperor leave?" Mu Hui was grooming and inquiring in her ear.

"Do you want to stay if you don't leave?" Chunxi looked at her and asked rhetorically.

"The little master is not afraid, and tomorrow some people will say that the little master does not have the ability to keep the sacred heart?" Shu sleeves brought a bowl of milk tea to Chunxi's eyes. This is a must-have for Chunxi every morning and evening, and it is said that you can feel at ease when you drink it.

"What are you afraid of, there is still less gossip in this palace." But Chun Xi didn't think so, he was happy today, and he didn't care so much about those rumors.

Mu Hui said again: "I heard that the Empress Dowager has ordered Concubine Wan and Concubine Tong to prepare for Chinese New Year's Eve together.

Chun Xi took a bite and said, "Is it the New Year?" Time flies. I've been in the palace for more than a month. ”

"yes. Little lord, the emperor should keep it when he comes up today. Shu Sleeve muttered.

"Why keep it? The easier it is to get, the less it will be cherished. What's more, it will be Chinese New Year's Eve soon, so why not choose a more suitable time for the waiter? Chun Xi didn't care, but smiled.

"Is this what the little master has been planning all along?" Shu Sleeve couldn't help but ask. She really couldn't understand her master. Is it just for more pampering?

"In this huge Forbidden City, how dare you take the first step if you can't see the way back. I don't like to take one step at a time, those days will only make me sad. Chunxi stood up and let Shu Sleeve change into a comfortable undershirt for herself.

Shu sleeve said: "The little master can figure it out. ”

"It's better to understand a little bit." Chun Xi smiled slightly: "Okay, you go down." I'm tired too. ”

"The slave and maid are gone." Shu Sleeve obeyed the order and retreated.

Chun Xi took out the jade pendant in his arms. It's still the previous one, and Xuan Ye gave it to her again when he came.

"Third brother, what I promised you. I'm going to do it. ”
