You can taste it again, and a small piece of pastry has been eaten.

He reached out and asked, "Give me another piece." ”

Li Zhen hugged the food box tightly and looked at him vigilantly, "If you want to eat yourself, you have to go." ”

"I'm done, I'm leaving."

Li Zhen didn't wait for him to reply, and left Li Shuo's palace directly.

Li Shuo's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and after thinking for a while, he also picked up his robe and walked in the direction of the palace.

In the Yunwei Palace, Ye Shuhua ate dim sum one bite at a time, listening to Li Zhen talk about Li Shuo grabbing dim sum.

"If he wants to eat, you can give it to him, just a piece of pastry."

Li Zhen shook his head, "This is what you love to eat, but it's not just a piece of pastry." ”

Ye Shuhua smiled, and the pastry in her mouth tasted sweeter.

Later, he said: "Speaking of reliable students, I have a candidate to recommend to you." ”

"Who?"

Ye Shuhua recalled the person he saw when he was in Liwanglou and said, "Bo Qian, he is a son of a poor family. When he was in Liwanglou before, I saw that he was humiliated in public by Li Wei and Bei Rongjue. I saw that he had backbone and arrogance, and he was admitted to the first class in the scientific examination at that time, and he must have been a talented person. ”

"Moreover, he and Zhou Zhengming have no contact on the surface, but they know each other secretly."

After listening to the last sentence, Li Zhen nodded slightly.

"So, it's the right person."

The next day, Ye Shuhua sent Li Zhen to the court, and also explained his trip to Meishan by the way.

Li Zhen instructed: "Be careful yourself. ”

Ye Shuhua smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I'm going to enjoy the snow, and it's not a Hongmen banquet." It's going to be fine. ”

Sending Li Zhen into the palace, she took Ji Cui and Zhuying to Meishan together.

This time I should stay for two or three days, so I brought a few changes of clothes.

When I came to the foot of Meishan Mountain, I just saw Bei Rongqian and Nangong Yun getting down from the sedan chair.

The three of them are on their front and back feet.

Ye Shuhua got out of the sedan chair, and also saw Dongfang Yao, who had moved to Meishan the night before, walking down and greeting them with a smile.

"Quick, come up with me, hot tea and snacks are ready."

The four of them came to the top of the mountain together, under the hexagonal gazebo, there were upholstered chairs, hand stoves, copper stoves and hot tea snacks.

The four of them were seated separately.

The pavilion is surrounded by a veil as thin as a cicada's wings, and the view from outside the pavilion is unobstructed.

But in the pavilion, the fire is simmering, the veil is thin and transparent, but the stitches are extremely dense, and there is a jade pendant tied below, which firmly locks the heat in the pavilion.

As soon as I entered this pavilion, it was as warm as spring.

At this time, the sky is beautiful, but I don't know when the snowflakes began to fall.

After a while, the snowflakes began to fall.

Sitting under the pavilion, looking at the pavilion, the proud bones and red plums, the chaotic jade shatters, complement each other, and depict a beautiful winter day.

"The snow scene of Meishan is really good, but it is thanks to the blessing of the Oriental girl, and now the heavens are also beautiful, so I can see this scenery." Xiziying flattered while admiring the snow scene.

Bei Rongqian also smiled and agreed: "Yes, the snow scenes I saw in previous years are not what I see today." ”

Nangong Yun also spoke, "This trip is not in vain. ”

Dongfang Yao also smiled happily on his face, this snow did come in time, so that the beautiful scenery that was already seven points was sublimated to nine points at once.

"It's good that everyone likes it, and it happens that the side rooms are all cleaned up, so it's good to stay here for a little longer."

Then she looked at Ye Shuhua beside her and said, "Does the second imperial concubine like this snow scene?" ”

Ye Shuhua just ordered Ji Cui something, turned his head and looked at the cold plums that were blooming in the snow in the distance.

It's really eye-catching, "It's really good, I like it very much." ”

After saying that, Ji Cui took out the puppet and handed it to the young lady.

Ye Shuhua took it, then put it on the table, and saw that she took out a puppet, and the three people who watched the snow scene all withdrew their eyes and looked at the things in her hands.

The first to speak was Bei Rongqian: "This puppet is so delicately carved and vivid, as if it were the real thing." ”

Ye Shuhua smiled and said: "It's carved for fun, and this is also a work that I didn't carve successfully." ”

At this time, Ji Cui had to order again, and took out a wooden box, which contained five or six pieces of wood about the size of a puppet in her hand, as well as five sets of tools in her hand.

He smiled and pointed to these: "I thought that we would stay here for three or four days, and it would be a little boring to sit and enjoy the snow scenery from side to side, so I brought these things, and we could just enjoy the snow while carving." ”

She picked up the puppet again and continued, "It's not a success, but it's a template for everyone to carve with reference." I don't know if you're interested in carving. ”

"Naturally, there is." Dongfang Yao smiled and grabbed the words, and then took the puppet and looked it up and down carefully.

"The second princess carved so exquisitely and meticulously, and it is not considered a success, I am afraid that it is not too humble. I'm afraid that I don't even have half of the second princess's meticulous carving skills. ”

Ye Shuhua didn't say a word, but her eyes swept to the other three.

The three of them also smiled and nodded, indicating that they were very willing.

Ye Shuhua observed them carefully, but they were the daughters of the family, and their upbringing and cultivation were excellent.

Except for Xi Ziying, who always flattered Dongfang Yao, the other two hardly showed any emotion.

Especially when she saw the wood carving in her hand, all of her faces were calm, and there were no waves in her eyes.

Either they're hiding too much, or they really don't know or haven't seen this person.

She quietly glanced at Dongfang Yao secretly, and then, the five of them chatted in the pavilion for a while.

When it was time for lunch, the group came to the main house, and by this time the meal had already been arranged.

The house was also simmered with silver charcoal, which made the house warm.

After dinner, it was time for a lunch break, and Dongfang Yao's maidservants also led them to their bedrooms in turn.

Ye Shuhua's bedroom is next to Dongfang Yao's room, which is only big and Dongfang Yao's room.

When Ye Shuhua returned to the house, she sat by the window, the window was ajar, holding the puppet in her hand, turning it intentionally or unintentionally.

She doesn't have a lunch break, so naturally she can't sleep.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Ji Cui went to open it.

Ye Shuhua heard Ji Cui say that Miss Xi Ziying was here.

She retracted her look, put down the puppet in her hand, and went outside.

The two sat down across the table, and Ji Cui had already served hot tea.

Xi Ziying smiled and said, "I didn't disturb the second imperial concubine to take a nap, right?" ”

"I don't have a nap habit, I don't. I wonder what Miss Saiko is looking for me? ”

Xiziying lowered her head shyly, faintly seeing her cheeks flushed.

Said: "It's also strange and embarrassing, I, I actually have someone I like in my heart, and now I see the puppet carving of the second princess vividly, I like it very much." So I thought about carving one of myself to my beloved. Therefore, in the afternoon to learn carving, I wanted to consult the second princess in advance, I do not carve according to the template of the second princess, only carve how to carve myself. ”

Ye Shuhua understood after hearing this, and smiled: "It's better to carve a template for the first time, if you want to carve yourself, it's not impossible, but you still need a portrait of yourself, so you can compare it." ”

Xi Ziying was a little frustrated after hearing this, "When I go out, I naturally won't bring my own portrait, so it seems that I can't carve myself?" ”

She regretted again: "I also thought that if the second princess personally guided, even if I carved a deviation, it should be very different." But not anymore. ”

Ye Shuhua's eyes were deep, looking at her sad eyebrows, and she didn't find anything.

But there is an indescribable feeling, but that feeling is fleeting, and it seems that it has never appeared in a trance.

She retracted her thoughts and didn't think much about it, glanced at Xi Ziying, and said: "If you want to carve yourself very much, it's not impossible, you can find a mirror and carve your facial features against the mirror." ”

"The most difficult thing about a puppet is the facial features and the head, as long as you compare the facial features and the head to the mirror, the rest is even easier."

Xizi saw that there was another way, and smiled at the moment.

took Ye Shuhua's hand and said happily: "Great, thank you Second Imperial Princess." ”
