The heavy snow was set, the snow on the ground was very thick, and it was inconvenient to go out, so the queen was exempted from the morning and dusk, and the weather was cold and frozen, and the palace people were only nested in their own palaces, and they easily refused to go out.

Jingxi Palace, the red basket charcoal in the brazier on the ground burns extremely vigorously, bursting out from time to time a few stars of red fire ideas, the hall is warm, filled with the fragrance of daffodils, making people intoxicated and sleepy.

Lu Yuan held the more than one-year-old Jinse, climbed the edge of the jasper jar, watched the two carp swing their tails, and smacked some puff pastry to attract the fish to come and eat.

Comb Yue led Jiang Rong in and said, "Master, Imperial Doctor Jiang has come to ask you for a safe pulse." ”

Lu Yuan looked up and saw Jiang Rong's dusty appearance, with white snow particles still falling on his hair, and said: "The road is slippery on a snowy day, and Lord Jiang will not come, but it is just a pulse of peace, even if it is delayed for a few days, it will not hurt." ”

Jiang Rong said with a smile: "Our imperial doctor's duty is like this, if it is because of this delay, it will be lazy." As he spoke, he put the medicine box on the kang table, opened the lid, and took out the pulse case.

Lu Yuan handed Jin Se to Qiu Niang, and gently put her wrist on the pulse case, Chunhua picked up an embroidered handkerchief to cover it, Jiang Rong Fang Ningshen began to check the pulse, and after a while, he smiled and said: "Ying Concubine Niangniang's body is fine." ”

Lu Yuan nodded with a smile and said gently: "It's extremely cold outside, Master Jiang has a cup of hot tea to warm up and then go." As he spoke, he instructed Chunhua to pour hot tea.

Jiang Rong bowed and said, "Then it's bothering." ”

Chunhua brought a tea cup with a celadon lotus plate, brewed the best Biluochun, fragrant, and placed a white jade square cake in the agate plate.

Lu Yuan glanced at Chunhua meaningfully, there seemed to be a smile on her face, Chunhua panicked, put down her things, blushed and lowered her head and went out.

Jiang Rong politely sat down and drank a cup of tea, got up to say goodbye, and the moment he turned around, Lu Yuan noticed that there was a hole in the hem of his robe, and hurriedly stopped him: "Lord Jiang, what's wrong with your clothes?" ”

Jiang Rong looked down and said with some embarrassment: "It's probably somewhere, it's okay." ”

Lu Yuan said with a smile: "If Lord Jiang goes around the harem like this, it will be considered untidy. As he spoke, he took the pu luo on the warm kang casually, took out the needle and thread, and wanted to sew it for him.

Jiang Rong hurriedly said: "Niangniang, I can't help it." ”

Lu Yuan chuckled lightly and said, "Master Jiang, you and my brother are classmates, I have always treated you as an elder brother, can't my sister sew clothes for my brother?" ”

Jiang Rong was relieved when she heard her say this, and stood aside to hold up the hem of the robe, and Lu Yuan sewed it up for him with stitches and threads.

The hall was silent, and only the sound of a charcoal fire was heard occasionally.

Suddenly, Caiping walked straight into the hall with a few cypress branches, and when she saw Lu Yuan and Jiang Rong, she couldn't help but be stunned, hurriedly dropped the cypress branches, ran over and knelt down, and said: "The slave and maid listened to the silence in the hall, thinking that there was no one, so they came in recklessly, and the master forgave the sin." ”

Lu Yuan smiled and asked, "What are you holding in your arms?" ”

Caiping hurriedly replied: "It's the cypress branches, the slave maid heard the old lady in the palace say that throwing the cypress branches into the carbon furnace will exude a strong pine and cypress aroma, which can sleep peacefully, so the slave maid went to Qiongyuan early in the morning to pick these cypress branches." ”

Lu Yuan said gently: "You are careful, put it in the furnace, you go to Biluo to get a lottery, go." ”

Caiping thanked her happily, got up from the ground and walked to the charcoal stove, threw the cypress branch into it, clapped her hands and went out.

Lu Yuan sewed a robe for Jiang Rong and ordered Chunhua to send him out.

Chunhua returned to the hall, Lu Yuan nodded and smiled: "I said why don't you see you, only a few little girls are waiting here, it turns out that they are busy making snacks in the small kitchen." ”

Chunhua was embarrassed, her fingers wrapped around the silk ribbon on her clothes, and she said sheepishly: "The white jade square cake was originally made for the master to eat, and it happened that Lord Jiang was here, so the slave maid took a plate of it." ”

The smile on Lu Yuan's face became even stronger, and he said deliberately: "It turned out to be a convenient serving, I thought it was specially made for Lord Jiang to eat, I originally thought about being a matchmaker, so it seems that forget it." ”

Chunhua's face suddenly turned red to the root of her ears, and she sneered: "The master is used to making fun of slaves and maids. ”

She walked over to clean up the cups and saucers, picked up something from the plum blossom table, looked at it, and said, "Hey, this jade jue belongs to Master Jiang, right?" ”

Lu Yuan glanced at it and said with a smile: "Probably just now for the convenience of sewing clothes, take it off and put it there and forget it, you can take it away first and return it to him when Lord Jiang comes again." ”

Chunhua agreed, carefully put away Yujue, and walked out.

Lu Yuan looked at her back and shook her head with a smile, suddenly remembered something, called Biluo, and said, "Did I finish what I told you yesterday?"

Biluo said: "Don't worry, master, it's done properly." ”

Lu Yuan smiled: "That's good, let's just wait for the turtle in the urn." ”

In the afternoon of the next day, Lu Yuan just woke up from a nap, wearing only a half-new homely clothes, pulling an ordinary cloud bun, casually saving a jade hairpin carved in the shape of a white magnolia, reading a book for a while, and finally feeling bored, so he played nine consecutive rings to relieve boredom.

was fascinated by playing, Yu Lin suddenly walked in, stepped forward, and said, "What are you doing?" So fascinating. ”

Lu Yuan was taken aback, looked up and saw that it was Yu Lin, and gently stroked his chest and said, "The emperor always likes to come quietly and scare the concubines." ”

Yu Lin was full of spring breeze, sat on the warm kang, held her hand and said, "Let me hear how your heart beats?" ”

Lu Yuan gently pushed him and said coquettishly: "The emperor in broad daylight is not serious again, and you will be punished for untying the nine links for the concubines." ”

Yu Lin laughed, took the nine rings, and buried himself in fiddling with it, but he had no clue, and the more he knotted, the more he died.

Lu Yuan laughed breathlessly, and said: "According to this solution, I'm afraid that I won't be able to solve it in a day and a night. ”

Yu Lin smiled and handed over the nine rings, watching Lu Yuan's dexterous hands play up and down.

The nine links were solved at a critical moment, and Chunhua came in and reported: "The queen is here." ”

As soon as the words fell, the queen had already hurriedly walked in, Lu Yuan hurriedly got up, bowed on her knees and said: "I don't know if Niangniang has arrived, the concubine has missed the distance, I hope Niangniang will forgive her sins." ”

The queen wore a smoky blue background of Baizi carved silk feather robe, sparsely obliquely slanted a few hairpins with dark red agate beads, and an eight-treasure jade step shook gently behind her ear. Her expression was a little unnatural, first greeted her, and then smiled reluctantly: "Concubine Ying, get up." ”

Yu Lin asked casually: "The road is slippery in the snow, why are you here?" ”

When the queen saw the question, she hesitated for a moment, and then bit her teeth lightly and said: "There are rumors in the palace that Concubine Ying has fornicated with foreign men, so the concubine came to question." ”

Yu Lin was taken aback, and couldn't help but look at Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan was also unexpected, and he forgot to distinguish it, and only looked at the queen in a daze.

"What kind of person has a rotten tongue!" Yu Lin's face sank, and he said sharply.

The queen hurriedly said: "Zuo is just those eunuchs and palace maids, and when they get together, they can only chew the root of their tongues." ”

Yu Lin slapped the cherry wood's desk with his hand, and said loudly: "It's really hateful to catch the wind and shadows, the queen should also take care of it, and take the person who stirred up the trouble and pulled out his tongue to feed the dog!" ”

Lu Yuan Yingying said: "The emperor doesn't have to be angry, the concubines have always cared about those gossips." ”

The queen's eyebrows curled slightly, like the tortuous Chunshan Yiyuan, and said slowly: "At first, the concubines didn't believe it, and they reprimanded it, but later they heard from those minions that they had noses and eyes, and the concubines didn't know whether it was true or false. It's just about Concubine Ying's reputation, so the concubine can't help but ask in person. ”
