"How?" A familiar voice sounded from behind him, and without looking back, Lin Qingluan knew who was coming.

She smiled slightly: "Count your words as you speak." ”

"That's nature." Zhou Chuwan put on a thick cloak and stood beside her and looked up at the sky together.

Zhou An hurriedly followed, first saluted Lin Qingluan, and then grabbed the hood on the cloak and wanted to put it on Zhou Chudu.

Seeing that Zhou Chudui was a little resistant, and Zhou An was not allowed to wear it for him, Lin Qingluan took the hat with a smile, she still had to stand on tiptoe to get it, but she still couldn't help but break up and buckle Zhou Chudu's head: "It's snowing, can people worry less." ”

Zhou Chuwan snorted lightly, but obediently put on his hat, but he didn't forget to pick up the hood on Lin Qingluan's cloak and put it on for her, but his movements were very gentle.

Zhou An stepped back slightly, stood with An Lan, and didn't dare to disturb the masters to watch the fireworks.

Lin Qingluan was still asking him in a whisper: "Didn't I see you at the banquet?" ”

"Just here." Zhou Chuwan also learned from her and whispered, "I'm afraid it's too cold to take you out at night, so let them prepare earlier." ”

"See me coming out?"

"Well, Ah Luan looked over there and asked them to put the first one."

The corners of Lin Qingluan's lips couldn't help but bend a little more, and she snorted lightly: "Then isn't this seen by many people?" ”

Zhou Chuwan didn't expect her to say this, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile after a moment's silence: "Then let me check on Monday, whoever looks up, we will accept his money?" ”

Lin Qingluan was completely amused by him, and his bent eyebrows and eyes looked at him with disgust, Zhou Chuwan couldn't help but get closer to her, his fingers moved slightly, and they were gently hooked together.

By the time Lin Qingluan returned to the banquet after watching the fireworks, he was already in a much better mood.

The Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was almost over, Shangguan Yan was already drunk, and at this time he was talking to a young man with a smile, Lin Qingluan looked at it a few times, and found that he didn't know it, so he wanted to withdraw his gaze.

It's just that the man was already very keen, but with just one glance, he turned around and said something to Zhai Hanjing.

Lin Qingluan raised her eyebrows slightly, seeing that the young man and Zhai Hanjing were very familiar, and Zhai Hanjing's face was full of smiles, she probably guessed the identity of that person - Zhai Mingxu, the second son of the Zhai family.

The son of the Zhai family has been in the process of being released in recent years, but the second son is a rookie in Beijing, and he is the champion of the next session. Zhai Xiang is old and does not die, he is still the mainstay of the Zhai family, although Zhai's father is not talented, he really has two good sons.

Lin Qingluan lowered his eyes, picked up some cold tea, and drank it all.

Her Lin family is not without men, and when her two nephews grow up, they may not be generals who can lead a party, and they may also grow into dazzling stars in the court.

Just give them time, don't let them have no chance to grow up at a young age......

The emperor was completely drunk, was helped by the empress to leave, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was over, Lin Qingluan got up and prepared to leave when the empress just left, who knew that as soon as he went out, he was blocked by Zhai Mingxu.

"Grass people Zhai Mingxu has met the imperial concubine." Zhai Mingxu's appearance is really similar to Zhai Hanjing, but his eyes are much more shrewd than Zhai Hanjing.

Lin Qingluan never crossed paths with him in the previous life, and she was not ready to make troubles in this life, she nodded slightly and was ready to leave, but she didn't want Zhai Mingxu to stop her, her words were still smiling, but her words were like pins: "Has the imperial concubine read the history books?" There were a total of twenty-one imperial concubines in the previous dynasty, can Niangniang know their fate? ”

Lin Qingluan stopped and glanced back at him, and saw a mocking smile on the young man's smug face.

She was not angry, but shouted, "Someone! ”

The surrounding guards and eunuchs all ran over, and Lin Qingluan pointed casually: "That person is disrespectful to this palace." ”

The guards and eunuchs who can serve at the banquet are not fools, and they know Zhai Mingxu somewhat, at this time, you look at me, I see that you have no action, Lin Qingluan is not annoyed, but said: "The hour is not early, drive him out of the palace, don't stay here again." ”

"Ha," Zhai Mingxu seemed to think that she could do this, and said a little arrogantly after laughing, "If the imperial concubine is idle, it is better to read more books and understand some truths......"

"Stick out." Lin Qingluan's voice naturally interrupted his words, and she smiled at Zhai Mingxu again, "From now on, say one more word and beat one more stick." ”

No one moved, but Lin Qingluan was not afraid, she raised her voice and shouted: "Commander Song, are you guarding the imperial city like this?" ”

"Minister, the order of the emperor and concubine." Song Zhengcheng, who was standing in the shadows, hugged his fists, he walked to Zhai Mingxu's side and raised his hand, "Zhai Gongzi, please." ”

"Hmph." Zhai Mingxu was just about to leave, but he was suddenly hit with a stick.

He exhaled in pain, but turned around to face a few little eunuchs who raised their sticks, and was immediately furious: "What are you doing here? ”

"The minions are just on the orders of the imperial concubine, little boy, offended!" Saying this, the stick fell without hesitation.

Since Lin Qingluan said that he would be beaten out with a stick, he would not allow him to leave the palace so calmly, so he would take a few sticks to make her feel good.

Song Zhengcheng wanted to stop it, but he didn't know how to stop it, after all, what he said was also the order of the emperor and concubine, after hesitating, he could only slightly protect Zhai Mingxu and walk out quickly, trying to make him suffer a few sticks.

Lin Qingluan snorted again and began to walk out.

What happened to the imperial concubines of the previous dynasty, this person is stupid to read, do you want to go and see what happened to the emperors of the previous dynasty?

Who is not a dead word in the end, it just depends on what can be done before death.

is to let Zhai Mingxu choose by himself, he is definitely willing to be admitted to the top prize and enter the officialdom before he dies to show his ambitions, instead of dying namelessly.

It's just that the Zhai family saw that there was a real power imperial concubine in the harem, and they were a little worried, Zhai Mingxu was not old enough in the city, maybe he was very knowledgeable, but he really didn't have much experience, so he wanted to provoke her.

Forget it, it's not fun to bully small children.

Lin Qingluan asked those eunuchs to call back, and another person rewarded a purse, and said with a smile: "Every year, happy Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

"The Imperial Concubine Niangniang is happy in the New Year!" Several people laughed in unison.

Because of this little episode, it was already a little late when he returned to Wan'an Palace, and Ming'er had to get up early to worship, so Lin Qingluan didn't go directly into the dormitory to get ready to sleep.

Zhou Chuwan waited directly in her dormitory, and when she came back, he had already changed his bedclothes, and was half-lying on the bed looking at a book, that look, very leisurely.

Lin Qingluan walked over and kicked him hatefully, went to the clean room to wash up, and came out to sit on the edge of the bed, Zhou Chuwan consciously picked up a towel to help her wipe her hair.

"What are you looking at?"

"That kid from the Zhai family was angry with you just now?"

The two of them spoke at the same time, and then laughed in unison.

Lin Qingluan said with a smile: "Yes, so I also let people beat him." ”

"Well, Ming'er will let people beat me up again." Zhou Chudui said softly, "Your anger is out, but mine is not yet." ”

Lin Qingluan felt that he was so unreasonable, and felt that he was actually quite reasonable, so he couldn't help but laugh again.

After laughing, she remembered something: "Don't you have to go back to celebrate the New Year with Hou Ye?" ”

"He was drunk when I came out." Zhou Chuwan didn't say how many jars of good wine he contributed to Zhou Zhao, but said, "I'm afraid I won't wake up until noon tomorrow." ”

Lin Qingluan couldn't help laughing, obviously very tired and a little sleepy, but when she saw Zhou Chudui, she still couldn't help but have a lot to say, and for a while she talked about listening to Fang Meiren talk about the things at the noon banquet, and then talked about the concubine.
