In the blink of an eye, it was winter, and the snow was falling, and the entire Forbidden City was shrouded in snow. The eaves are padded layer after layer, and this white color adds a different kind of beauty to the Forbidden City.

In Yikun Palace, Chunxi stood in front of the window, looking at the goose-feathered snow outside the window, and her heart was inexplicably sad. I've been restless these days, but I can't think of a reason, and I'm a little depressed at the moment. Even though the weather is so cold, I always feel stuffy.

Mu Hui took a stove to warm her hands and reminded: "Niangniang, don't stand in front of the window, the wind is strong here, and it's blowing strangely cold." As he spoke, he stepped forward and closed the window that Chunxi had just opened, and helped Chunxi to sit on the warm couch.

"How is Fifth Elder Brother doing?" As soon as Chunxi sat down, she remembered that she asked Mu Hui to visit Yinqi in Qianxi Wushe this morning, but she had never seen her figure, and she was afraid that she had just come back from there.

Speaking of Yinqi, a smile appeared on Mu Hui's face: "The fifth elder brother has grown taller again, he has eaten more than before, and his body is strong." Niangniang instructed the slave maid to ask the teacher of the fifth elder brother, and the slave maid went deliberately, and the teacher said that the fifth elder brother's homework had never been left behind, compared to the other elder brothers, it was even better. The emperor occasionally went to the exam questions, and he never stumped him. ”

"Don't be hearsay, come back to make me happy." Although he said this, his heart had already blossomed, and his depression was dissipated in an instant. Her son is so smart and capable, and she naturally has a sense of superiority as a mother.

Mu Hui covered her mouth and smiled: "Niangniang is too worried, where can the slave and maid hear so much praise, naturally it is what the slave and maid have seen and heard with their own ears." Niangniang is at ease, the fifth elder brother is all right. Before leaving, he also asked the slave maid to take a message, saying that the teacher would return to his hometown to worship his ancestors in a few days, and he would not be in Beijing for about half a month, so he could be allowed to go back to his mother to live for a while. ”

When she heard this, her eyes lit up, and she was full of excitement: "Really? ”

"The slave doesn't dare to tell such a lie to make the mother happy." Mu Hui nodded, once again affirming her words.

Chunxi was overjoyed, her son was coming back, and all her previous depression and unhappiness disappeared.

"Quick, send someone to the emperor to get an edict, tell the truth about the matter, let the emperor be gracious, and allow Yinqi to go back to Yikun Palace and live with the palace." Chun Xi hurriedly commanded.

Mu Hui was about to turn around and go out, but Chunxi stopped her again: "Wait a while, the palace will go over in person, I haven't seen the emperor in the past two days, I don't know what he's busy with, you accompany me to the small kitchen to see if the black chicken soup is stewed, and I'll send it to the emperor in a while." By the way, I also told him about Yinqi. ”

"It's better that way." Mu Hui said with a smile: "Niangniang went to say it herself, but it worked better than what the slaves and maids asked for." ”

"Poor mouth." Chun Xi pouted and smiled: "Okay, for the palace, pack up, and then go to the Qianqing Palace." ”

Mu Hui hurriedly called Xiao Qinzi to come in to dress up Chunxi, and called Miyi to come in, and prepared the palace clothes and shoes and socks that Chunxi was going to wear for a while with her.

"Is it okay for a lady to wear this?" Mu Hui took out a royal blue robe with gold wire trim from the cabinet, embroidered with bird and beast patterns, which looked very atmospheric. Mu Hui spread her clothes with both hands to show Chunxi, and said, "This was sent before, Niangniang has never worn it, why not give it a try today?" ”

"What's the right fit?" Chun Xi glanced at it and nodded, which was a response.

Miyi took another milky white cloak and handed it over: "Niangniang, I think this is suitable." ”

Chunxi glanced at it again, nodded again, and said, "Okay, just let it be." Come and show the palace the jewelry, which one is worthy of the clothes. ”

After getting dressed neatly, Chunxi was hugged by Mu Hui and Miyi out of Yikun Palace and went to Qianqing Palace.

The snow was falling, and he didn't dare to take the car, so he walked carefully. Honey means to hold an umbrella for her to block the snow.

Along the way, I occasionally heard the eunuch who was clearing the snow talking about something, and after seeing it, he didn't dare to say much, Mu Hui asked, and he also prevaricated. Although she felt strange, Mu Hui was also inconvenient to embarrass people, and helped her to Qianqing Palace, and after listening to Wei Yangji's words, she realized what she didn't hear clearly just now.

"Niangniang, the noble Jing is waiting inside." Wei Yangqi reminded in a low voice, looking extremely uncomfortable.

Chun Xi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It's okay, this palace is just sending soup to the emperor, since Jing Guigui is here, let's drink some too." ”

Mi Yi accompanied Chun Xi into the door, Mu Hui stayed outside the door, and pulled Wei Yangqi to the corner: "I didn't look at you right just now, what's the matter?" ”

"Well, you haven't sent anyone here for the past two days, so you don't know." Wei Yangjing sighed, looked at the gate that Chunxi had just stepped into, and then looked at no one around, and then lowered his voice and said: "Yesterday, the emperor went out of the palace and collided with Jing Guiren who was returning to visit relatives, and it happened that the two went to the same place again. ”

"Didn't the emperor also go to Lord Suo's mansion?" Mu Hui guessed.

Wei Yangji shook his head again and again: "Of course not, it's a small hill that appreciates the snow, the emperor will pass by at this time of year, and I remember that the emperor once painted it." There was nothing on the hillside, except for snow and dead branches, and I didn't think anything special. However, I heard that it was the place where the emperor and Empress Renxiao made love. Before Empress Renxiao entered the palace, she met with the emperor in that place, and they both had a soft spot for that small hillside. In previous years, when Empress Renxiao was alive, she passed with the emperor. However, Empress Renxiao has been dead for many years, and occasionally the emperor will go alone, but he will not stay long, just to see. But who knows, yesterday passed, bumped into Jing Guiren who went to enjoy the scenery, the two chatted there for a long time, and didn't come back until this morning. After coming back, Jing Guiren did not return to his residence, but returned to the Qianqing Palace with the emperor. I've been asleep in the morning, and as soon as I woke up, Concubine Yi brought the two of you over. ”

Wei Yang finished his words in one breath, watching Mu Hui's face get darker and darker, and felt that it was not good. Shouldn't I have said this? Ay! Blame yourself for being fast-talking, hesitated for so long, and when she saw Mu Hui, she still couldn't help but say it all.

"It's a little weird, too." Mu Hui muttered to herself, as if Wei Yangqi didn't exist.

When Chun Xi entered the door, he saw Xuan Ye painting and calligraphy in front of the desk, while Jing Hao was grinding on the side.

"The concubine asks the emperor for peace, and the emperor is safe." Chun Xi stepped forward and gave Wan Fuli, and Xuan Ye and Jing Hao were surprised to find someone coming in.

Xuan Ye smiled and stepped forward to help Chun Xi up, and took her hand to the side of the case.

"Say hello to Concubine Yi." Jing Hao saw Chunxi, and also approached some to make a big salute.

"Excuse me, sister, take a break." As he spoke, Chun Xi looked at Xuan Ye again: "The emperor tastes the soup that the concubine has just boiled and warms up." My sister should come over and have a bowl of it, too. ”

Jing Hao glanced at Chun Xi a little embarrassed, and it was even more difficult to refuse, so she had to step forward and take the soup bowl handed over by Mi Yi and drink it in small sips.

Xuan Ye motioned for Chunxi to feed him, and Chunxi pulled him to sit down, holding a soup bowl, and feeding him spoonful by spoonful.

"How did you come today? It's snowing heavily, so it's warm? Cold or not? After a few sips, Xuan Ye took Chunxi's hand holding the soup spoon, felt her fingers cold, and couldn't help but roar: "You haven't warmed up yet, you should drink a few sips of soup to warm up." ”

As he spoke, he took the bowl and spoon and fed her soup in small sips according to the movements of the woman.

"Seeing that the mother and the emperor are so affectionate, the concubine seems a little redundant, and it won't be too early for this time, so the concubine will go back first, so as not to disturb your two-person world." Jing Hao is not a stupid person, seeing this scene, he knew that staying would only get in the way, so he hurriedly excused himself and went out.

"He's a sensible man." Seeing that Jing Hao was gone, Xuan Ye was even more unscrupulous. After Chunxi drank a whole bowl of soup, he hugged her and lay down on the warm couch, and reached out to take a fox fur to cover the two of them.

"Come on, braving such a heavy snowstorm, you must have something to say." Xuan Ye looked at her, his eyes full of doting.

Chun Xi smiled, but instead of answering, she asked: "How does the emperor know that the concubine is in trouble." Can't you just bring a soup? ”

"Your soup, at first glance, is not boiled for me. It's for Yinyu, right? He's the one he likes to drink. Xuan Ye pointed to the empty bowl and said: "What's more, you came here in the wind and snow, and you didn't send someone to ask me if I was there in advance, so you weren't afraid to come over and pounce on the air, I think there is something important." ”

Chunxi smiled again, and was not poor-mouthed, but said: "Just count that you know me and know what I am here to do." ”

Snuggled in Xuan Ye's arms, Chun Xi explained his intention: "Today I asked Mu Hui to visit Yinqi, and he asked Mu Hui to bring back a message, saying that the teacher who taught him every day would return to his hometown to worship his ancestors in two days, and I was afraid that he would not be there for some time." I want to ask, can I move to Yikun Palace to live with me for a few days, and by the way, my younger brothers are close to me. ”

When Xuan Ye heard this, he immediately said: "That's fine, he hasn't been back to you for a long time since he went to the Qianxi Fifth Institute." At this time, it is not bad to stay with you and let your mother and son share the family. If I'm free, I'll join in the fun. ”

"In this way, the emperor agreed?" Chun Xi smiled again, and unconsciously leaned closer again.

Xuan Ye looked at her face, reached out and pinched her face, and said dotingly: "You, aren't you asking knowingly." For such a thing, you sent someone over to say, where is there anything I don't allow, you just asked me to personally pick up Yinqi over, and I also agreed. ”

"Don't you find an excuse to come and see you?" Chun Xi pursed his lips, a little aggrieved.

"When did you need an excuse when you came to see me? What else did you say about sending soup, even if I came empty-handed, I was happy to see you. Xuan Ye hugged her in his arms and tightened it again, as if he was afraid that as soon as he let go, she would run away.

Chun Xi blushed, lay in his arms and did not speak, only quietly enjoying the happiness of this moment.
