In winter, although the imperial garden has lost its fragrance, it is still a scene in three steps, and it is full of royal delicacy and nobility.

The pines and cypresses are evergreen, and under the pruning of craftsmen, they support the thick snow, which is a unique scenery.

A boy wearing a navy blue jacket suddenly ran over from the corridor on one side and rushed straight towards Qin Chaojiu, followed by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, chasing after him in a panic.

The little eunuch who had led Qin Chaojiu hurriedly opened his hands and stopped the boy, but because of inertia, he was directly knocked to the ground by the boy.

"Hey, Your Highness the Nine, you can slow down, it's freezing this day, you can't run so fast."

Because the little eunuch helped stop it, the palace maid behind him finally caught up.

"Which one are you, why have I never seen you in the palace, are you the concubine of my father, Emperor Xinna?"

Xiao Qi, the Ninth Highness, is only ten years old, a head shorter than Qin Chaojiu, and at this moment he is rolling a book in his hand that he doesn't know what it is, raising his head and staring at Qin Chaojiu.

Qin Chaojiu bent his knees slightly, and said, "The second daughter of the courtier, the Marquis of Yongchang, has seen His Royal Highness the Nine. ”

The little eunuch on the side patted the snow on his body, stepped forward and said, "Your Highness the Nine, it was the prince of Beimu who invited Miss Qin Er to come, and the slave took his leave first." ”

Xiao Qi laughed: "Okay, beautiful sister, can you come to the palace after you come back from going to find the emperor?" Since you haven't married yet, can you marry this palace as an imperial concubine in the future? ”

The little eunuch was frightened to death, only to feel a chill reach his head, and he said goodbye in a panic and continued to walk forward with Qin Chaojiu.

This scene happened to be seen by Xiao Changdui not far away.

The look in Xiao Changdu's eyes sank a little, and he secretly thought, this Xiao Qi seems to be too naughty, it might as well ......

I sent him to Baiqi College to study, so as not to study well at a young age.

has already made a decision in his heart, Xiao Changdui plans to see the emperor tomorrow, so he will mention it.

At this time, the child who was still looking at Qin Chaojiu's back and smiling happily seemed to have no idea what was waiting for him.

After turning a long corner, Qin Chaojiu followed the little eunuch to a rockery.

In the gazebo in front of him, Xiao Changdui was sitting there, with a stove beside him, and the fire in the furnace was dim, which was particularly dazzling in this ice and snow.

The little eunuch led Qin Chaojiu all the way here, and then consciously retreated.

"The courtiers greet the prince."

Qin Chaojiu came to the pavilion and bowed slightly.

Xiao Changdui raised his eyes, his eyes were always light and cold, but there was a little more tenderness in the depths of his eyebrows: "Well, come and sit." ”

On top of the cold stone bench, there was a snow-white mink, obviously specially prepared for her.

Since becoming a man, Qin Chaojiu has never felt such a preference.

The corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook up, and after sitting down, she raised her eyebrows and thanked Xiao Changdui: "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”

"Huh? Thanks for what? Xiao Changdui raised his eyes, with a little surprise in his eyes.

Qin Chaojiu smiled lightly: "Naturally, I thank the prince for being so considerate and careful, and no one has ever been so kind to me." ”

A sentence came out of Xiao Changdu's heart, if she liked it, he could be so good to her for the rest of his life.

However, this sentence only appeared from the bottom of Xiao Changdu's heart for a moment, and before he could say it, the roots of his ears were already red.

Qin Chao didn't leave a trace for a long time, and pushed the charcoal fire on the ground in the direction of Qin Chaojiu, but he didn't say a word on his face.

"By the way, Lord Wang, why did you summon me over?" Qin Chaojiu brought one of his hands closer to the charcoal fire and raised his eyes to look at Xiao Changdu.

Xiao Changdui suddenly got up, looked into the distance, and a cold and pleasant voice slowly came out of his throat.

"Snow viewing."

"Snow viewing?" Qin Chaojiu chewed these two words repeatedly in his heart, but he didn't come up with a reason.

The imperial garden in the palace, the best time is in the middle of summer, followed by spring and autumn, in winter, even the ladies in the palace, in the house is boring, do not want to come to the imperial garden to take a walk.

So there's really nothing to appreciate here.

But her prince of Beimu deliberately called himself here to enjoy the snow?

Qin Chao didn't know what Xiao Changdui was thinking for a long time, and naturally he didn't know, so Xiao Changdui specially consulted the emperor for this.

It was the emperor who told Xiao Changdui that the love between men and women is nothing more than appreciating the flowers and looking at the moon, and how much care can those women have, it is easy to make them happy.

Xiao Changdui believed.

But there are no flowers in the Imperial Garden today, so Xiao Changdui thought that it would be no problem to enjoy the snow.

So, Xiao Changdui looked into the distance very seriously, and he saw that the branches of the pine trees could not bear the weight of the snow and had been bent, and he also saw a squirrel with a big tail slipping into the snow and disappearing.

Xiao Changdui appreciated the snow seriously, but Qin Chaojiu on the side was also rewarding him seriously.

The long eyelashes are like feathers, and the side face is picturesque, it should clearly be a peerless immortal posture, and the pair of deep and cold eyes instantly turn the momentum around his body into a lonely and cold arrogance.

Just when Qin Chaojiu's gaze looked down from Xiao Changdu's eyebrows inch by inch to his Adam's apple, he suddenly found that his Adam's apple slid up and down.

Qin Chao looked up again unconsciously, but saw that his ears were red, and immediately, his neck and face were red.

"Lord Wang, are you too cold?"

Qin Chaojiu hadn't reacted at this moment, he just thought that it was the cold north wind, which made Xiao Changdui blush.

Xiao Changdui nodded casually: "Some." ”

Qin Chaojiu said: "If you turn your face around, you won't be so cold with your back to the tuyere." ”

"Hmm."

He hadn't heard someone talk like this for a long time, and when he turned around, he happened to be face to face with Qin Chaojiu, and the Adam's apple, I don't know why, was so disobedient, and it slid up again.

"Why don't you enjoy the snow?" Xiao Changdui suddenly spoke, just to divert Qin Chaojiu's gaze.

Don't look at him anymore, his heart is about to jump out of his throat.

Qin Chaojiu replied as a matter of course: "It's okay to see the snow scene at a glance, but the prince, you can't see enough of it." ”

At this moment, Qin Chaojiu finally felt that sentence from his heart, what is a drunkard does not mean to drink.

Her intention to enjoy the scenery today is not in the snow.

"Rhetoric." Xiao Changdu's lips suddenly opened slightly, and although the redness on the roots of his ears was a little less, he still had a faint and seductive look.

Qin Chaojiu bared his teeth and smiled: "Then do you like to listen to it?" ”

Xiao Changdui turned his head: "I don't like it." ”

"Liar."

Qin Chaojiu immediately spoke: "You laughed, you obviously like to listen." ”

"I didn't laugh." Xiao Changdui didn't admit it.

Qin Chaojiu pursed his lips and said in Xiao Changdui's tone just now: "Duplicity." ”

I have to say that I learned Xiao Changdu's demeanor and tone ten out of ten.

"How about the prince, do I learn like you?" Qin Chaojiu behaved well and deliberately provoked Xiao Changdui to laugh.

This world is a little warmer and cheerful.

At the same time, at the other end of the rockery, a beautifully dressed woman was looking around and approaching this direction.

"Xiaomi, where are you? Come back soon. ”

"Mi? Little Mi? ”

Xiao Sulu watched a white cat she raised run in this direction, but she didn't find it.

Suddenly, there was a sound of laughter from behind the rockery, and the hoarse voice of an incomparably familiar man, mixed with the coolness of the wind and snow, suddenly pierced her ears.

It made her tremble immediately.

He's in the Imperial Garden?

He...... Did you come to find yourself?

Xiao Sulu looked stunned and walked around the rockery and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

I happened to see the face that I couldn't forget no matter what.

It's really him - Xiao Changdu.

But who was the woman beside him?

Xiao Sulu stood in place, and the hot blood that had just rushed to her brain was completely cooled down after a moment.

He didn't come for himself.

"Eldest princess, Xiao Mi has found it."

"Meow~"

A palace maid came with a snow-white cat in her arms.

Xiao Sulu came back to her senses and immediately took the little white cat from the hands of the palace maid and held it in her arms.

The palace maid on the side complained: "Xiao Mi is white, and it is really difficult to find it when she runs into this ice and snow and merges with heaven and earth." ”

"Yes, just now I saw that it was stuck in the snow and couldn't get out, so I heard the cry and found it."

In his ears was the sound of two palace maids chattering, but not a word fell into Xiao Sulu's ears.

Her hand gently stroked the frightened white cat, and when the cat had calmed down, she looked up again.

At the gazebo, there is no one to be seen.

She walked briskly around the rockery and looked out into the promenade ahead.

Sure enough, I saw two figures walking side by side, walking away hand in hand.

"Jiu'er, when did King Beimu get married?" It wasn't until the two figures walked away that Xiao Sulu turned her head and asked the palace maid on the side.

The palace maid shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of King Beimu's marriage." ”

"Cha'er, have you heard?" Xiao Sulu looked at the other palace maid again.

The other palace maid lowered her eyes, removed the look in her eyes, shook her head and said, "The slave doesn't know." ”

When Xiao Sulu saw her like this, she already understood in her heart.

"It's the order of the Queen Mother, she doesn't want me to know about King Beimu, so she deliberately hides it from me."

Before Xiao Sulu's words fell, the two palace maids had already knelt on the ground.

"That's it, get up and go back to the palace."

"Yes."

Xiao Sulu understood why the Queen Mother did this, and the Queen Mother just didn't want her to be sad.

Speaking of which, she was originally the niece of the Queen Mother, because the emperor had no daughter in his life, so she grew up in the palace since she was a child and was particularly favored.

She is the daughter of the Su family, and her real name is Su Lu.

Thirteen years ago, she was fifteen.

Rouran envoy begged for marriage and wanted to marry Da Yue. But Dayue has no princess, she was ordered to be in danger, was given the royal surname, and was given the title Jueshun.

Since the day when Fengguan Xia Wei went away to Rouran, she has been Xiao Sulu, the princess of Jueshun, and she is responsible for the peace between Da Yue and Rouran.

And the Miss Su family, who was Xiao Changdu's childhood sweetheart, will never appear again.
