When Xia Xiaosu pushed open the door of the house, his brother was still carving the rosary, he carved it very seriously, his hands were very steady, even though Feixue had dyed his hair white, the brother was still concentrating on the rosary, one by one, and neatly stacked it in the long wooden box on the side of his hand.

The princess carefully closed the door, her long legs moved slowly, for fear of disturbing her brother, she kicked the velvet deerskin boots, grabbed the oil-paper umbrella leaning in the corner, and was not in a hurry to open it, but slowly and slowly walked down the steps, walked into the heavy snow, and walked to the door of the courtyard of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.

There are dots of white plums on the umbrella surface, and there are branches painted in ink.

In the snowy current, the white plum drifted into the distance.

Floating on the land of the enemy.

The palace maids and eunuchs had already prepared a dinner party, although there was no one meal of a hundred dishes when the Son of Heaven was there, but there were still dozens of plates.

Xia Xiaosu glanced at so many delicious meats, and said softly: "Next time, you can prepare two dishes and one soup, my brother and I can't eat much." ”

So, she chose three dishes, took two pots of wine, and said to the palace maid and eunuch: "You can divide the other dishes." ”

The palace maid and eunuch showed joy: "Princess Xie." ”

When Xia Xiaosu returned to the library again, Xia Ji just breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at her.

"Brother, it's time to eat. ”

The princess carried a basket and wanted to go into the house.

Xia Ji patted the cloister under the eaves, the cloister was more than a foot from the ground, and it was a breeze and snow in the world, "Let's eat here." ”

The princess was stunned for a moment, there are many rules for royal catering, where is there anyone who sits on the cloister to eat, even if it is a subordinate, no one dares to do this, otherwise it is not etiquette, but what is the etiquette?

If you don't agree, you don't agree.

She was only stunned for a second, then obediently answered "Huh", and then put the basket on the wooden cloister, took out a plate of chestnut crispy pepper beef, a plate of Bazhen chicken fillet, a plate of secret boneless lamb shank, and then took out two pots of fine wine without concealment.

There is no one to watch, so naturally there is no need to hide it.

Xia Ji knew that if her sister let herself drink, she must only take one pot, and if she took two pots, she would also drink a pot herself, but Xia Xiaosu's amount of alcohol can be described as "miserable", she is not a drinker at all, she just listened to some rumors.

Therefore, Xia Ji asked: "Do you want to use wine to drown your sorrows?"

Xia Xiaosu: "I don't know if it's worried." ”

"Are you sympathetic to those innocent people in the imperial capital?"

"Yes, I sympathize with them, but... I'm just a useless princess who can't even control her own destiny, I can't do anything, I'm such a waste. ”

Xia Ji didn't comfort her, and said softly: "Then drink." ”

Xia Xiaosu didn't speak, he quickly poured himself wine, and then took a sip, continued to pour, continued to pour, poured for the third time, and was still bored for the third time, looking heroic, but in fact, his cheeks were already fluttering with flames, his body was shaking, and he looked at the snowflakes in front of him as a mosaic.

Xia Ji couldn't help but laugh and said, "What are you worried about?"

"I'm not worried!"

Xia Xiaosu was already slamming into the fifth cup, her eyes were misty, and the stimulation of alcohol made her talk a little more, "Anyway, I've already thought about it, no matter what you want to do, brother, I'll be on your side, if you die, I'll kill myself." ”

After saying this, she patted her chest, and she made a shocking sound.

She pulled out a white sharkskin dagger and slammed it between the two.

"I won't die, if one day you hear a rumor that I'm dead, you must not believe it, you must see my body with your own eyes and then kill yourself. ”

"Hmm!"

Xia Ji was eating vegetables, drinking wine, looking at the wind and snow, the night was long, and the night was not long, Xia Xiaosu was drinking fast wine.

The two were silent, listening to the wind and snow, and there were also cries from some imperial capitals in the distance.

Xia Ji suddenly asked, "You have already returned the Maitreya Sutra, have you met those foxes again?"

"Yes. ”

Xia Xiaosu thought about it for a moment and continued: "When the royal family left the capital that day, I actually met them again, I returned the book to Hu Ling, and Hu Ling asked me to teach me to read and write, and after teaching, I asked her according to what you said, 'What does Miss Hu want'." ”

"And what did she say?"

Hu Ling said that what she wanted was a big merchant royal family that could accommodate demons. ”

Xia Ji said: "Then how did you reply to her?"

Xia Xiaosu: "I said that as long as the demon doesn't eat people and hurt people, why can't I tolerate it?" and then Miss Hu Ling said let me not forget this sentence..."

Xia Ji thought for a moment, and then rubbed her long hair: "Then you can't be a little girl." ”

Xia Xiaosu said: "I have never been a little girl. ”

After saying this, she took the pot and rushed it, and without the grace of a princess, she came to the spout of the pot, and drank bitterly, and when she had finished drinking, she fell on the plank of the cloister, and was completely drunk.

She is a princess, but she can't talk about being elegant, not about the country and the city, not about being wise and close to the demon, and the second princess, the fourth princess, and the eighth princess are completely different...

If you have to talk about temperament, it is a trace of desolation that is incompatible with royalty.

Her face is not large, her skin is pale, her hair is soft and slightly yellow, she is not tall, only one meter five, and all her boots are specially made to increase their height so as not to tarnish the royal dignity, but fortunately, her body is very even, and her legs are very long, as if she is a beauty who has shrunk by one.

Her green hair hung down easily from her waist, and the palace maid and eunuch would definitely kneel down or bow down when talking to her, otherwise she would be charged with "overlooking the princess".

Xia Ji saw that her little legs were dangling in the air, and her little face was flushed, and her eyes were red, so she got up and hugged her horizontally, and the princess shrank into this embrace, the world was too cold, and she had no warm place to go.

Xia Ji carried her and walked into her bedroom step by step, although the wind and snow were heavy, but his Zen spirit unfolded, but he did not touch the body of the princess at all.

put her on the bed, took off her boots for her, took off her coat, lightly covered the quilt, left a candle flame in case she woke up in the middle of the night and would be afraid of the darkness, and left a honey water in case she had a hangover and a headache and no water to drink, after doing all this, Xia Ji turned around and left, and walked to the door, he heard a soft cry from the bed.

He paused, but didn't look back, just quietly closed the door.

Walking into the ice and snow, returning to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, he directly summoned Gonggong Mei, "Have you found the mastermind behind those mobs?"

"The old slaves are incompetent, they hide too deeply, and they would rather commit suicide than leak it. ”

Xia Ji nodded, did not continue the topic, but said: "Tomorrow morning, I will go to the Leiyin Temple of Mount Meru to read books, it will take three days, you continue to check." ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Grandpa Mei replied, as in awe and sincerity as ever.
