Early the next morning, Xuan Ye had breakfast and hurried to the court. Walnut crisp was sent from Cining Palace, and the little father-in-law who sent it said respectfully to Chunxi: "The Empress Dowager instructed that some will be sent every three or four days in the future." Whatever the next few elder brothers and Gege want, as long as there is one in Cining Palace, they will only send someone to say it. The children are still young, and it doesn't matter if they are greedy for food and play. ”

"Thank you, father-in-law, is the ancestor okay these days?" Chun Xi smiled and asked: "Recently, the palace is not very peaceful, and it is snowing heavily, so it is inconvenient to go to Cining Palace to say goodbye, and please go back to greet the palace." ”

"The Empress Dowager was still talking about her mother yesterday, saying that she would go over to say hello when it was warm. The road is slippery and difficult to walk, don't toss for these courtesies. The little eunuch replied respectfully, saluted to Chunxi again, and then turned around and walked out of Yikun Palace.

"Is Yinyu awake?" Chunxi looked at the walnut crisp in the brocade box and asked about the honey.

"I'm awake, I'm freshening up. The fifth elder brother and Jun Yao Gege have also woken up, and they will come over to say goodbye to their mother in a while. Coincidentally, the walnut cake was sent over at this time, and when Brother Jiu saw it for a while, he didn't know what to be happy about. Miyi smiled and stared at the brocade box.

"Don't let him eat too much, the eighth elder brother and the tenth elder brother will also come over in a while, and share the food with the children." Ush commanded.

As the two were talking, they heard movement outside the door, and it turned out that Ning Er had brought Yin'er over.

"Why don't you see Sister Yun?" Let Mi Yi take Yin'er to find Yin'er, and leave Ning'er to ask.

"Niangniang suffered a little cold last night, her body was not very happy, and she was still tired in bed, so let the slave send the tenth elder brother over." Ning'er replied.

Chun Xi hurriedly said: "You sit down for a while, wait for the palace to clean up, and go to see her with you." ”

Saying that, Chun Xi asked Mu Hui again: "Has Eighth Elder Brother ever been here?" ”

Mu Hui shook her head: "No, it stands to reason that this hour should have come, Changchun Palace is about the same distance from us and Yongshou Palace." Xu is eighth elder brother met his biological mother yesterday, played for a while, and got up late. ”

"In this way, you let Miyi stay with the children for a while. You go to Changchun Palace with Bengong to take a look, these days are not very peaceful, Bengong is a little uneasy. Chunxi instructed: "You take the eighth elder brother over to play with them, and the palace asks Du Ruo to accompany him to the Yongshou Palace to see Sister Yun." ”

"The slave understands."

After packing up, Chunxi took Mu Hui and Ning Er to Changchun Palace together.

"The weather is good today, and I haven't walked far, so I don't have to take a small chariot." As soon as he got out of Yikun Palace, he saw that a small chariot had been prepared at the door, and he took Mu Hui's hand and walked away.

As soon as he entered the gate of Changchun Palace, he saw Du Ruo walking out in a hurry, and he also commanded: "Send the eighth elder brother to Yikun Palace, if there is no palace to pick it up in person, you will not come back for the time being." ”

Du Ruo turned a corner and looked up, and saw Chun Xi standing not far away looking at her with a smile: "Why did Niangniang come over?" ”

Du Ruosan walked over in two steps and bowed to Chunxi.

"I'm here to pick up Yinxi." Chun Xi beckoned to Yinxi: "Come, come here." ”

As soon as Yinxi stepped out of the door, he saw Chunxi, and happily trotted all the way into her arms.

"Have you eaten yet?" Chunxi hugged Yinxi and asked.

"I used it." Yin Yu nodded violently, his face flushed, thinking that he had just come out of the house and suffered the wind.

"Then let's go with Aunt Mu Hui to find your ninth and tenth brothers. Your fifth brother also came yesterday, and he is accompanying them at this time, so you should hurry up and find them. As she spoke, she put Yinxi into Mu Hui's arms, and gave Mu Hui a look, Mu Hui immediately understood, and immediately hugged Yinhui and walked out. Yinxi's nurse and the maids who often waited for the palace also hurriedly followed.

When they were far away, Chun Xi took a few steps forward and walked to Du Ruo's side: "What's wrong?" ”

"I just heard the news that Li Yu is in the Imperial Garden, and it's gone." Du Ruo lowered his voice and said.

"Gone? Why not? Chun Xi was slightly stunned, I just asked Suo Etu to remove this eyeliner that was inserted yesterday, and it is gone today? Anyway, Li Yu was also the person she arranged to come in, and many people in the palace knew that she and Du Ruo were "sisters", so Suo Etu came out quietly for first aid, so he wouldn't kill people directly.

"I don't know the specifics, but I got up this morning, and I heard the people below say that Li Yu was gone, so I asked someone to look for it. Later, the person who came back to report said that when he saw her in the imperial garden, he was already ...... "Du Ruo was a little uneasy, after all, Li Yu was the person next to him on the surface, and he was gone, and he didn't know who did it."

I just figured out Li Yu's identity, and it was only two or three days before the person died. Coupled with the quiet good things that happened in the previous two days, Jing Hao is also a person in Changchun Palace, and there are two Zhuang things around him in three days.

"Let's go, let's go and see first." Chun Xi asked Ning Er to hurry back to Yongshou Palace to spread a word, and he and Du Ruo walked in the direction of the Imperial Garden.

When I came out, I didn't take a chariot, and I didn't have to sit in Changchun Palace this time, and I was anxious, so I only walked forward with Du Ruo, and I didn't pay attention to my feet. Stepping on a pool of freshly melted snow, the center of gravity was unstable before and after, and the whole person fell out. If it weren't for Du Ruo's quick eyes, he pulled her. If this fall continues, I am afraid that it will break my muscles and bones.

"Be careful, it's happened, let's go slowly." Du Ruo saw that Chunxi was even more anxious than himself, and comforted.

"Niangniang has to be careful, how can I not sit on a chariot on such a slippery road, and walk in flowerpot shoes, where can I not fall." A female voice came from the left, turning her head to look at Dong Xinrui, the official concubine.

It turned out that he came in a hurry, and he had already arrived on the long street outside Xianfu Palace, and at this time Dong Xinrui was sitting on the step, covering her mouth with her index finger, full of smiles.

Seeing her like this, the anger in her heart suddenly rose. Originally, something happened in the palace, she was already upset and irritable, and she fell again, and she hadn't come back to her senses, she actually came to laugh.

"I haven't seen Duan Concubine for a long time, but I forgot that Duan Concubine has sharp teeth and sharp mouth." Chun Xi sneered: "Over the years, the Yikun Palace in this palace has been warm in winter and cool in summer, and the snow on the way out is also clean, it is indeed not as good as this Xianfu Palace, no one has passed by for a long time, and there are no people who even sweep the snow?" ”

"I ......" Dong Xinrui was passing by and watching a joke, but she didn't expect that in her words, she poked her sore spot in just a few words.

It will take 20 years to enter the palace, but there are only a handful of times when I see the emperor. The people in the palace are snobbish, and they are not favored, and the people who are waiting are not satisfied. There are actually a lot of people coming and going on this long street, but it's still early today, and it's normal that the snow on the ground hasn't been cleared yet. If it weren't for his quick mouth and deliberate ridicule, people would not use such words to count themselves.

But as soon as she saw Chunxi, she couldn't help but be pantothenic, and next to her was Du Ruo, a lowly person from a slave background. It's really ridiculous, a slave can give birth to a prince, and a mother is more expensive than a child. And he didn't get the favor in the grade that was just right, and now that he is over thirty, why should he fight with others.

Seeing that Dong Xinrui didn't speak, she looked away again, and she was angry, and she didn't want to deal with her anymore. One left and one right were supported by Ning Er and Du Ruo, and continued to walk towards the Imperial Garden.

"Sister Duan, it's very disrespectful." Dong Xinrui hadn't come back to her senses yet, a familiar voice came from the other side, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that Concubine Wang Tianru was sitting on a small chariot, with some worry on her face.

"What do you mean?" Dong Xinrui has never had much of a good impression of Wang Tianru, and in the entire harem over the years, the two of them have the least sense of existence. But Wang Tianru flattered the queen mother on the one hand, and gave advice in front of the imperial concubine, and he didn't know how many times better than her.

Wang Tianru looked at the direction they left, and said lightly: "Anyway, Concubine Yi is also one level higher than your sister, and when you meet your sister, not only do you not salute, but you sneer at her and collide with her." If she hadn't left in a hurry, I'm afraid my sister wouldn't know what to be punished now. The emperor has always doted on her, and her sister's words and deeds today are out of character, but they are against her, if she cares about it, my sister's life will be even more difficult. ”

Dong Xinrui's heart rose to her throat, but after thinking about it, Chunxi had already left, and she wouldn't do anything to her. In this way, he said to Wang Tianru with a cold face: "Concubine Yi is gone, you don't have to say anything to scare me, think about yourself." ”

"Maybe when she remembers, she'll bother with you. It's better for my sister to be careful in the future. Wang Tianru didn't pay attention to the displeasure in the other party's eyes, and with a wave of his hand, Xiao Zhen went in the direction where he went.

"How do you know there's a good show here?" Wang Tianru asked her delicately as the little palace maid beside her.

"I don't know about this palace, but I heard a movement and came over to take a look, but I didn't expect it to happen." Wang Tianru said with a smile: "I'm afraid there will be a good show in a while, I just made fun of the concubine, but it was just appetizing." ”

When Chunxi and the others arrived at the Imperial Garden, there were already a bunch of people gathered there. I pushed aside the crowd and went in, only to see a sculpture in the shape of a figure standing in the pool.

This year's winter has been particularly cold, and even in the past, the water has been frozen into ice. It should have been smooth on the ice, but at this time there was an extra human figure, which was very weird.

"It's Li Yu." Du Ruo's eyes were sharp, looking at the face that had been frozen into ice, and he shouted in a low voice.

"How can a good person freeze into ice." Chun Xi was stunned, and Li Yu stood in the pool. The upper body is exposed, and the lower half is trapped in the pool.

This pool is not deep, and Li Yu should be standing in the pool.

Before Chunxi could come to his senses, he heard a sharp eunuch's voice outside: "Scattered, all scattered." Dig out the people in that ice pool, a few of you. ”

"Yifei Niangniang, Du Chang is here." The voice was closer.

Chunxi turned around and saw Ni Hai saluting her, and asked, "The imperial concubine is invited, please move the two of you to the Chengqian Palace." ”
