Yi Chenjing heard the sound of talking in the room from a distance, and thought that Bai Qige was talking to Yu Che, but he didn't expect to see Mrs. Qi and Jin Zhaoyi when he came in, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"It's not too early, Mrs. Qi and I still have to go to see Concubine Jing." Jin Zhaoyi didn't know if those words could let Yi Chenjing know, so she got up and said goodbye after giving Mrs. Qi a look, "The princess wants to recuperate, your face is very bad, and your body is much thinner than before, if you need anything or we can help, just say it, don't be polite." ”

"There are Lao Jin Zhaoyi and Sister Qi who are worried, and I will come to the door another day to thank you." Sending Mrs. Qi and Jin Zhaoyi to the door, Bai Qige greeted him in a decent manner, and only turned around when he couldn't see the two of them, and walked back to the inner hall while shaking his head while laughing.

"What's so funny?" Yi Chenjing looked puzzled, "What are you three talking about?" ”

"Say something that is simply impossible. Originally, I felt very depressed, but I felt a lot more relaxed to be teased by them like this, but I don't know what other people will think. After pouring a cup of warm tea and drinking it, Bai Qige looked at Yi Chenjing with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he had no intention of hiding it, he would know about it sooner or later, it would be better for her to say it.

"Jin Zhaoyi and Mrs. Qi are here to tell me a rumor, a rumor about me."

Yi Chenjing raised his eyebrows, and responded to the straightforward gaze with interest: "It's only been more than half a year since I arrived in the palace, and I haven't had any rumors yet, you have been noticed before me." ”

"Would you like this rumor if you replaced it?"

"Don't dare to be it, it's better for you to keep it for yourself."

A few words of raising the bar to ease the atmosphere a lot, Bai Qige still couldn't stop smiling, and his tone was much lighter: "I went to look for you in the imperial study that day, and when I left, I met the prince and said a few words, which happened to be seen by Yi Chenxuan and Zuo Chengxiang, and I don't know which of the two of them actually released rumors that I had an affair with the prince." Don't you think this rumor is stupid? I didn't have a chance to come into contact with the prince in the Dust Cellar, and it won't take long for this kind of rumor to go to ruin, so what's the use of going to great lengths to make these lies? ”

Yi Chenjing's reaction was exactly the same as when Bai Qige first heard the news, and he was also slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but chuckle.

"It's really not a wise thing to do. But don't take it too lightly, if it's from Prime Minister Zuo, it's okay to say, that person will only mess around and talk about some useless schemes, but if it's Yi Chenxuan, it's hard to say, he will definitely not do meaningless things. ”

Bai Qige leaned back in the chair, holding his cheeks in one hand and playing with the lid of the teacup in the other, his eyes were a little careless: "Whatever, no matter how much you study in the room, it is impossible to know what Yi Chenxuan is thinking, so as not to respond to all changes, wait for him to show his feet first." It's you, why did you suddenly run back, didn't you say that you were so busy that you didn't have time to eat? ”

After a hurried meeting in the imperial study, Yi Chenjing never returned to the dust Xuan, and heard that the battle court said that it was because there were some changes in the expedition plan that he had to discuss temporarily, and it was only the third day, and it was impossible to completely solve all the problems so quickly, so what prompted him to put down his extremely important task and run back?

Yi Chenjing didn't hesitate at all about Bai Qige's question, stretched out his palm to the woman who looked a little bored, and directly replaced the answer with action.

"What for?" This time it was Bai Qige's turn to be inexplicable.

"I'm about to get moldy when I go out for a walk, and I'm about to get moldy all the time in the imperial study."

A completely subversive answer to common sense, in Bai Qige's eyes, Yi Chenjing should be a person who is wholeheartedly devoted to fighting for power, and he can't wait for twelve hours to become twenty-four hours to be busy, will such an emotionless person feel bored?

Finding that Bai Qige's eyes were full of suspicion, Yi Chenjing frowned, but his hand was still stubbornly extended: "Do you want to go?" If you don't leave, I'll go back to the imperial study. ”

With a long breath, Bai Qige pondered for a moment, and finally put his hand in Yi Chenjing's hand.

Maybe it's a good thing to go out for a walk, after coming to Yaoguo for more than half a year, her body and mind have been in a tense state and have never relaxed, too much pressure and burden makes her unable to eat and sleep well, as if she is always in the waves and it is difficult to feel at ease. No matter what Yi Chenjing's purpose is, she really should relax, even if it is just silently walking on the road she has never been, or just closing her eyes and enjoying it for a moment in a quiet place she has not been to, it is better than nesting in the dust pavilion that is tired of watching the big piece of the sky and waiting for another round of boring days and nights to come, in the long run, she will go crazy.

Yi Chenjing's palms were always warm and powerful, but he never pulled her calmly like this, most of them were to control her, restrain her, or leave her with pain.

Walking along the familiar path to the unfamiliar road, his steady body stood proudly in front of Bai Qige like a mountain, and his clenched hand never let go, as if he was afraid that she would get lost, and as if he was afraid that she would lose it, he would turn around and find it again. The wind at the end of winter was still as steep as a knife, and it hurt a little to cut her face, but Bai Qige didn't feel cold, and the man in front seemed to resist and take away all the cold she should bear.

How nice it would be to be able to go on like this.

"It's chaotic outside the palace, remember not to run around, follow me closely." A whispered instruction came from his ears, and Bai Qige realized that he had walked to the gate of the palace. Inside is the deserted forest treasure hall, outside is the lively market, a street apart, two worlds.

Bai Qige didn't expect Yi Chenjing to take her outside the palace in advance, so she only wore a regular dress that was not too thick and a thin cloak, Yi Chenjing was a big man and had practiced martial arts for many years, the cold had little effect on him, and he didn't notice that Bai Qige behind him was still freezing for a while. At first, I didn't think anything of it, looking at the dazzling array of people with different expressions in the market, Bai Qige thought that maybe she would warm up when she walked, but who knew that the sky was not beautiful, and after leaving the palace, light snow began to fall, the temperature gradually dropped, and her hands and feet were slowly cold.

"The front is the most lively market, today is the first day of the new year, there are many people, and there are many rare playthings, do you want to go and see?" Yi Chenjing turned around and asked.

If she continued to walk, she was afraid that she would freeze half to death, but Bai Qige couldn't say anything back, she faintly realized that Yi Chenjing didn't come out because he was bored, and kept asking where she wanted to go and what she liked along the way, and she was considering her preferences from beginning to end.

Did he find out? How much of a blow did it hit her to find out that Yu Che was suddenly leaving, and found that she had always been sleepless all night behind her forced laughter in the past few days? Bai Qige would rather believe that Yi Chenjing cared about her, silently caring about her who was almost collapsing, in his unique way.

"Let's go and see, it's still early, and it's not interesting to go back now." Enduring the biting cold, Bai Qige smiled lightly without makeup, like a bright flower.

The bustling crowd becomes more and more lively with the passage of time, the twilight falls, the lights are on, the most prosperous capital city in Zhongzhou is shrouded in a piece of peace, although there is no scene of singing and dancing, but you can feel the sense of harmony and happiness of the people.

"Maltose, I remember you like to eat sweet things."

"This purse embroidery is not as delicate as in the palace, but the pattern is very fresh, anyway, you won't be a female red, buy it and go back to learn."

"It's been a long time since I've seen anyone selling this kind of acacia nectar."

"After Yu Che left, no one will talk to you, these albums are read by illiterate ordinary people, even if you don't know rare words, you can understand it, so it's good to pass the time."

"Wood carving masks, do you want to try them? A custom peculiar to Haruka. ”

……

When he walked to the center of the market, Yi Chenjing already had a handful of food toys in his arms. Slightly tilted his head to look at the man beside him, Bai Qige didn't know what his current mood should be called, his unspoken smile was a little stiff, not like a cold-blooded person at all, and her limbs were cold, only the hand he held tightly was extremely warm.

"This is Li'er's favorite dried fruit, so you must take it well." After his hands were not enough, Yi Chenjing could only give Bai Qige part of the responsibility of carrying things, but unexpectedly, Bai Qige failed to catch the bag of dried fruits firmly, and with a bang, he fell to the ground with the mask in his hand. Yi Chenjing shook her head helplessly, bought another pack and stuffed it into her hand, her skin touched each other, and her long eyebrows wrinkled again: "Why are your hands so cold?" Are you cold? ”

Bai Qige's lips were frozen purple, and she shook her head stiffly and didn't say anything, but the uncontrollable trembling on her body betrayed her.

Looking at his cheeks, which were even paler than when he came, Yi Chenjing seemed a little displeased: "Why didn't you say it earlier when you felt cold?" Let's go, it's time to go back. ”

"Don't go." Stretching out his frozen hand to stop the impatient man, Bai Qige shook his head, "It's hard to get out, if I want to go shopping again, let's go to the end of the market, okay?" ”

Yi Chenjing hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't bear the rare expectant look on her face and nodded, then stretched her neck to look around, and finally saw a stall selling warm clothes not far away. Transferring everything in his hand to Bai Qige's arms, and then untied his cloak and forcibly wrapped it around the thin body that was shivering with cold, Yi Chenjing stretched out his finger and pointed at the tip of Bai Qige's nose, and told him forcelessly: "Don't walk around here honestly, call me loudly if you have something, understand?" ”

"Hmm." Bai Qige nodded heavily.

Freedom is rare, freedom is rare, ease is rare, and walking side by side with him is even more rare. Bai Qige didn't want to waste a hard-won opportunity, what was it to be cold, and what was it to wait for a while? It's just that today she doesn't want to restrain herself from thinking too much, just be an ordinary woman in front of Yi Chenjing.

People were standing in the way, Bai Qige stepped back slightly, accidentally bumped into a stall, looked at it, and was immediately attracted by the things on the stall.

It was a row of sharpened short knives, daggers, and axes, remembering that the last time the battle court was looking for a stronger dagger seemed to have been forgotten, Bai Qige couldn't help but want to take advantage of this time to find a weapon to take advantage of. It seems that only the one in the middle is quite like, the length is slightly shorter than the other daggers, and the bronze scabbard is polished and shiny, and the more you look at it, the more you like it.

"Boss, how much does this cost?" Bai Qige reached out to take the dagger, but he didn't want anyone else to take a fancy to it, and his white and slender palms stretched out at the same time, colliding together. Turning back in surprise, Bai Qige froze instantly.

Under the wooden mask that covers only the upper part of the nose to the forehead, a pair of blue eyes are like water, clear and clear.
