In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Cen Li lowered his hand and carried the recent situation of Chang'an Palace.

At the top of the place, although Jiang Huaiyang was holding a pen in his hand, his attention was not on the fold, but on listening.

He was carrying the chief man down, when the door of the temple was suddenly pushed open, and the cold wind poured in, eroding the cold of the muscles and bones.

Wen Pheasant's face was gloomy, and after he stepped in, he came to the front and whispered, "Your Majesty, the maid who released the maid from the palace-" He paused before he spit out three words:

"Killed himself."

Just a few words, but the atmosphere in the hall was cold. This matter should not have been presented to the Holy of Holy, but after all, it is about that person, and no matter how you say it, she is also a confidant.

Cen Li was horrified, lowered his head, and pretended not to hear.

His expression did not change, and he ordered lightly, "Hide it for the time being, don't let her know." "If the little lady knows, she doesn't know how to be sad.

"Yes."

In the huge imperial city, the snowflakes fluttered and staggered, and this year's winter seemed to be strangely cold.

.

The palace person in charge of delivering the message went to Chang'an Palace as usual to report on Mu Ling's recent situation, and only said that everything was fine.

Although she has been busy with the banquet in the Lari Palace recently, Ruan Yuyi still remembers the wood spirit who left the palace, and when she heard the good letter, she was relieved.

"She can see that she used the pastries you sent?" She said casually as she traced the pattern. In the past, Mu Ling was the most greedy for her Mu Xiang's sister's craftsmanship, and always relied on her to beg her for food, and this time when she left the palace, she would miss Mu Xiang's craftsmanship in the future.

After not hearing the voice of the palace people for a long time, she raised her eyes to look.

The palace people were thrilled by this gaze, and after reacting, they simply said, "It's used." "This is also for fear of saying too much and making too many mistakes.

She smiled at the corner of her lips and asked for Mu Xiang to reward people.

The people of the palace thanked him and retreated, but he was absent-minded when he stepped down, and he almost didn't fall. After he stood firm, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Mu Xiang asked, "What's the matter, our mother is terrible?" ”

"Ouch," the palace people couldn't think about whether their words were inappropriate at this time, and hurriedly said, "Where is the aunt, who doesn't know that Concubine Jin will be lenient." ”

Mu Xiang looked at him steadily, "Then what are you panicking about?" ”

The palace man shook his head a few times, "Auntie, I'm afraid it's not a mistake, the slave almost fell before panicking." ”

This is said in a preamble, and I don't know if I panicked or not. Mu Xiang heard some signs and forced to ask, "Do you say yes?" …… Could it be that the wood spirit knocked over the food box? ”

The more she talked, the more she felt that it was possible, that little girl had always been reckless.

Seeing that he couldn't get out, the palace man stomped his feet and simply said, "That girl is gone." ”

Mu Xiang's face froze, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's just dead."

She opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything. How could it be, obviously someone sent a letter from the previous child, complaining to her about the girl who lived with her and Cang'er, following her every day and staring at her.

When I sent her out of the palace, I saw her smiling.

The palace man Xu felt that his tone was too blunt, and sighed, "Alas, the girl who has suffered so much in the palace has never seen anyone who can withstand it." Aunt's mourning, but on the master's side, His Majesty also ordered that it should not be known. ”

She nodded, confused, "I know, I know—"

She couldn't tell what the palace people said to her, and she didn't realize when she left.

She stood under the wind and blew for a while, and her hands and feet were cold. It wasn't until the voice of the young lady calling her from inside the house that she suddenly came back to her senses. She patted her cheek and smiled.

With her fingertips on the door, she realized that her hands were shaking.

Inside the house, Ruan Yuyi was still tracing the patterns under her hands, and when she saw Mu Xiang's face was pale, she just thought it was cold. She took the other party's hand, and sure enough, she was thrilled by the ice.

She stuffed the sleeve stove on her lap to Mu Xiang and quipped, "Is this playing in the snow?" Keep your hands so cold. ”

The temperature of the sleeve stove spread all over the limbs, and Mu Xiang replied with a smile, "But it's colder outside, where is to play in the snow, how many slaves and maids are adults." ”

"Yes," she said casually, rubbing her somewhat sore wrist, "and only a childish person like Mu Ling would talk about playing with snow." ”

But this year's winter, the snow is so beautiful, and Mu Ling hasn't had time to play in the snow.

The curvature of the woody lips remains unchanged, and he looks out the window when he turns his head sideways. The young lady was afraid of the cold, and the window was always closed, and only when she stayed in the inner room, did she open the window to let in the air.

At this moment, the snow fell on the window paper, making a small cracking sound, like insects eating away at this endless winter.

.

In the afternoon, after a short break for about half an hour, Mu Xiang came in to call people. saw Ruan Yuyi lying on her side on the couch, frowning between her eyebrows, and she didn't sleep very peacefully.

Mu Xiang sighed faintly. Although the young lady did not show it on her face, she could feel that the young lady was still reluctant to leave the palace. It's just that now—

She gently pushed Ruan Yuyi's shoulder, "Miss, it's time to wake up." "I wake up later than usual in the morning, and if I fall asleep all the time, I won't break anyone's sleep.

She muttered, her eyelashes twitching twice before she opened them. The tears that were in my eyes in my sleep finally couldn't be held back and slid down.

She wiped it off and propped herself up.

Seeing her sit up, Mu Xiang re-loosened her hair for her, and said, "There is a new musician in the palace, who knows the piano, do you want to meet her?" ”

She stroked the pleats of her dress, "Musician? ”

"I heard that it was newly recruited by His Majesty, and it was specially for Niangniang to relieve her boredom," Mu Xiang said, "and I am waiting outside now." ”

"Then please." She got up and walked to the side hall, and Muxiang opened a soft curtain for her.

In the side hall, there is a man with an excellent posture, wearing a moon-white plain face, picturesque eyebrows, and a boy and a woman. Hearing the movement, he turned around and saluted, "I've seen Niangniang." ”

Ruan Yuyi hesitated for a moment, "Xuanrao? Why are you here? ”

Xuan Rao lowered her eyes and smiled, and replied, "The little one thought that Niangniang should have known, and the little one came here to be a musician." Fortunately, in the past, the master forced him to learn one more piano skill, and today he can have this opportunity. ”

There was this opportunity to enter the palace to meet her.

"You're no longer singing?" She gave him a seat.

He shook his head, "Don't sing anymore." Occasionally, I go back and take a look. Because of this, the master was very angry, and used the soft whip that he had urged them to use when he practiced in the past.

In the end, the master felt sorry for him, and scolded him for cutting off his future, but he didn't do anything ruthlessly. This allowed him to recover from his injuries in a few days before entering the palace.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it's a pity. She ordered someone to pour the tea, and suddenly remembered the fruit wine sent by the imperial dining room the day before, so she took it from someone.

"How did you get into the palace?" Your Majesty is really relieved that he wants to relieve his boredom?

Xuanrao's face remained unchanged, and she replied after asking, "The small one has met the conditions that can reassure His Majesty." ”
