Chapter 174: Visitation

The snow had been falling all day, and finally it had stopped.

At the beginning of the day after the snow, the sun was warm and warm, softly encompassing the entire imperial city. In front of the palace gate and beside the road, there are palace people holding brooms to sweep the snow, and there are also small palace maids chasing each other to play in the snow, and the laughter is crisp and pleasant.

Ruan Yuyi felt a little hot, because she handed the sleeve stove in her hand to Mu Xiang.

Seeing her passing by, the two small palace maids were suddenly silenced, and they turned around to salute, "I've seen Ruan Jieyu." ”

She smiled softly and raised her hand, "No need to be polite. With that, she continued to walk slowly towards the direction of Chonghua Palace.

The road beneath her feet had been cleared of snow, revealing the bluestone slabs below.

The two little palace maids in the back silently picked up the brooms leaning against the wall and talked next to each other.

One of them lowered his voice and said, "Now that the Chonghua Palace has fallen, it is impossible for the Sixth Palace to be left unmanaged for a long time, and it may fall on this one." ”

The other was silent for a while, "Power is power, pet is pet." Have you forgotten that there is a concubine Xu on top? ”

She looked at Ruan Yuyi's departing back from afar, until she turned around the corner and couldn't see her again, and she didn't know how to withdraw her gaze.

"That Concubine Xu is like a gourd with a saw-mouthed mouth, listening to the humanity around her, she can't say five words all day, where is the appearance of being able to hold this power."

The other maid hurriedly covered her mouth, "Don't talk about it, it's good to let people listen to it." ”

Ruan Yuyi picked the time when she made a big mistake at noon, thinking that Concubine Shu should have finished lunch at this time. He had allowed her to visit Concubine Shu, although it was only for half a day, and she might be able to help her.

The Zhu Gate of Chonghua Palace is closed, and the snow in front of the door is thick, and no one is sprinkling it.

With every step she took, the embroidered shoes sank into the snow a little, leaving a trail of footprints, but adding some popularity to the smooth snow.

Mu Xiang knocked on the palace door, and the palace maid inside welcomed the two in. The trees, mountains and rocks on both sides are still the same as in the old days, and they have not changed.

She expected it to be good, Concubine Shu was running out of lunch at this time, sitting by a few desks, pounding flowers in her hands.

"My sister is here? Sit down. "The Rong family fell, although she changed out of her previous gorgeous clothes and was plain, the majesty between her eyebrows and eyes remained unchanged.

As long as she is still in the concubine position for a day, the etiquette should not be wasted.

Ruan Yuyi blessed her body, and just sat down with the side, "Sister, is this pounding henna?" "Under the small stone mortar, the petals have been crushed into mud, and red juice is pouring out.

The two gossiped, and somehow, Concubine Shu also infected her.

Concubine Shu hung her fingers, "It's okay here in this palace, but it's just grounded, and there is no shortage of food and clothing, which bothers my sister." ”

Those subordinates are afraid that they are still waiting and watching, but now they are still in compliance with the regulations, but they can be imagined in the future. But Concubine Shu would not tell her this.

Ruan Yuyi originally wanted to send some food and rouge to Concubine Shu, but when she heard her say this, she was afraid that those things would hurt Concubine Shu's face, so she didn't mention it for the time being, thinking that she would ask the imperial dining room one or two after she went back.

She said some words of relief.

Concubine Shu suddenly smiled, "The Rong family is the mother family of this palace, and this is all due to this palace." My sister doesn't have to go to His Majesty to plead for mercy, but no one from the palace has come to you in the past few days. ”

Although she didn't understand the affairs of the court, she also understood that the matter was big.

"Whatever my sister said, the concubine didn't help anything." She sighed softly, and was speechless for a moment.

Knowing that everything was fine with Concubine Shu, she also settled down. Concubine Shu didn't seem to want her to stay here for a long time, and after the juice of the flowers in her hands was dry, she began to euphemistically drive people away.

"The concubine will go back first, and then come back to talk to my sister when she is free." She stood up and spoke. That is what I said, but Concubine Shu's grounding is not something that can be solved in a day or two, and it will be difficult to see each other again.

Concubine Shu also knew, she didn't say anything, she just hummed, and ordered the henchmen and palace maids around her to send her off.

Out of Chonghua Palace, I met the new emperor's sedan chair, and several palace people carried the sedan chair. He was dressed in a fine garment, shining softly satin in the warm sun. His eyebrows are handsome, and the edges and corners of his face are softened by the sun.

Jiang Huaiyang sat on the soft sedan chair and looked at her, "See someone?" ”

She saluted, "I'm coming out of Sister Lady's." ”

He looked her up and down for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Come on, I'll send you back." Several palace people bent down and squatted down when they heard the sound, and the sedan chair was put down smoothly, and the tassels on the cushions shook slightly.

"Your Majesty," she was stunned and quickly refused, "this is not in accordance with the rules." It's good for the concubine to follow on the side. "Not to mention that this is for people to look at, it will attract jealousy, and there is no precedent for concubines and emperors to ride the dragon chariot together in previous dynasties.

His gaze fell directly on her, and he took in the little lady's panicked appearance.

He stepped down from the sedan chair and grabbed her wrist, "Yesterday I asked for permission to see Concubine Shu, so I treated you softly." Now that you're seeing me, you're going to leave me behind? ”

His tone was leisurely and flirtatious, clearly joking with her.

She was hanging her head, and when she heard him say this, she couldn't help but feel a beat in her heart, and when she raised her eyes to see his expression, she took a sigh of relief.

She scratched his wrist lightly with her backhand, and curled her eyebrows, "The concubine is blowing the wind on the pillow, but there is still time to blow in the future, how can she leave Your Majesty behind." ”

He was shaken by her clever smile, and when he saw her rubbing, he simply hugged the person to the sedan chair.

All the palace people raised their eyebrows and lowered their eyes to avoid. It wasn't until Wen Pheasant sang "up" loudly that the few parties carrying the sedan chair made a move.

The position on the sedan is spacious, but it is only one and a half wide. The little lady was slender and reluctantly sat down next to Jiang Huaiyang, but it was also flesh to meat.

Even through her clothes, she felt the scorching heat, which burned to the side of her ear, making her earlobes round and red like ripe fruit.

But she still pretended not to care, and sat beside him.

Jiang Huaiyang glanced at her, and was amused. He reached under her cloak and pinched the little lady's waist. She inhaled slightly and moved forward.

He whispered in her ear, "It's okay, no one sees it." ”

She glanced at it and saw that the palace people were indeed walking with their heads down, but this was not okay. Her face burned so badly that she didn't care about it, but she was so bold that she caught his hand with both hands and kept him from moving.

The little lady's hands have been hidden in her sleeves, warm and soft. Her hands were much smaller than his, carved like jade, and under his background, they looked like children's hands.

His heart moved slightly, and he did not withdraw it.

The sedan chair quickly fell in front of Luo Meixuan, and Ruan Yuyi let go of her hand.

He took her into the house, where the charcoal fire was already lit, much warmer than outside. Where the sleeves of the two men intertwined, he handed her something. She subconsciously took it, but felt that the thing was a little pressing.
