◎ If she hides it too well, it will make people suspicious and lose control, and occasionally show her minions like this, which will make him feel at ease. ◎

As soon as Ning Xun returned to the East Palace, the rain became heavier.

The doors and windows of the study were closed, and the hearts of people were swollen. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a rare depression between his eyebrows.

This depression is not due to the side, but only for this rain.

Perhaps, not for this one, but for the one seven years ago.

On that night when the north wind was howling, the torrential rain washed over the white marble steps, and he knelt in front of the steps, so wet that he couldn't open his eyes. The wind and rain were fierce, and the lights had already been extinguished, and the two palace maids in the queen's palace who followed him simply threw the lamps aside, while trying to block the wind and hold an umbrella for him, while crying and persuading him, but he only knelt and stubbornly stared at the starlight lit up in the main hall.

The crown prince's python robe was completely wet, and the corners of his clothes were splashed with a few points of mud, and the bright yellow seemed to be diluted by the rain and slowly faded to white.

Full of white. The crying that seemed to be real and false was mixed with the sound of rain, far away and close for a while.

Ning Xun reached out and pinched his eyebrows.

This year's rain is really late.

After a moment, the red mark on the back of his hand became more and more conspicuous. Ning Xun didn't call the imperial doctor, he only took a wet handkerchief and applied it slightly, and then didn't care about it anymore.

The palace people who were waiting in the study were all waved away by him, and he sat in front of the bookcase, was quiet for a while, and knocked twice on the desk with his knuckles.

Qing Heng appeared in front of him in response, "Your Highness." ”

Ning Xun only glanced at him, he immediately understood, and said in a low voice: "Senator Lin has settled down in the Moon Snatching Workshop, waiting for His Highness's next order. ”

Ning Xun nodded and waved his hand to signal him to step back.

Qing Heng knew that his master would be upset when it rained, and he hesitated for a long time, but he still couldn't help asking: "Since Your Highness already knows that most of the people in the Moon Snatching Workshop are the ears, eyes and mouthpieces of the second prince, why do you want to hide people there?" ”

Although Senator Lin has changed his appearance, he can find a place to hide in Beijing, which is safer than a pestle in front of them?

"There is only one corpse in the river that cannot be identified, Ning Zhen has a big heart, and he will not check it again, what about Shen Che?"

*Inside the Moon Catcher.

He suddenly came to his senses and took a step back.

How naïve and naïve was he to have that idea just now? It's easy for her to walk over, how about my mother? If you act recklessly, how can you get out of it in the end?

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

As soon as the damp autumn wind passed, some slight rains were brought in, and they were all over the face.

Rain.

Not far behind her, raindrops hit the surface of the umbrella and burst in all directions.

Shen Che stood quietly, the umbrella was slightly raised, and her figure was still clear through the rain.

He had come early, and he had a good view of her steps, but he didn't see it—as if he wouldn't stop her even if she did step on the bridge and run past.

Because this is the Moon Snatching Workshop, on his territory, even if she can hear the sound of silk and bamboo music in the distance, she can't run.

The news that she had come here secretly from the house had already reached his ears.

Mei Niang looked like she was watching a good show, and pretended to be surprised: "Why, it doesn't look so obedient." ”

Shen Che didn't answer, but said that it should be like this - the little girl was much sharper when she was a child than she is now. Now like this, I am afraid that the old mansion of the Chi family has been sharpened.

If she hides it too well, it will make people suspicious and lose control, and occasionally showing her minions like this will make him feel at ease.

Seeing that he was unmoved, Mei Niang lost interest, and sighed lowly: "Also, it doesn't matter if she is round or flat, even if it is in your hands, it will not be able to turn the sky." ”

Shen Che walked towards the pavilion, just as he was holding his arm and turned to look back bored.

He was stunned and blinked, "Why did you come early?" ”

"If I don't come, you're going to stay here and stay in the wind?"

He choked on him and muttered, "How did you know that this rain came so quickly." ”

Shen Che laughed, "Seeing that the sky is not good, I remembered that you didn't bring an umbrella when you went out today, so I thought about coming over earlier." ”

As he spoke, he stepped over the railing of the small pavilion, put the umbrella on the table first, and untied the big hat on his body with his hands, covering her head.

As soon as he took off the big gun, he coughed a few times.

Ji Chi looked up at him slightly, Xu was upset by the sound of the rain, and for a moment she wanted to ask him - did he come here in the rain for fear that she would be wet and cold, or was he afraid that she would be uncontrollable and come to take a look in person?

Dayu still has residual warmth, with a faint aroma of herbs, stained with the humidity in the rain, and the clear fragrance of herbs and trees is heavier.

The thick thick coat kept the moisture out, but the clothes that had just been wet were still cold.

She really hated the feeling of dampness, and the fabric clinged to her body, as if it were wrapped tightly in a net that could not be broken free of—it reminded her of the nets she had collected when she was a child watching fishing boats on the banks of the river, in which the fish struggled and fluttered, but only gave off a burst of fishy smell.

Shen Che glanced at the sky, "This rain won't stop tonight, I'll send you back." ”

After realizing it, he asked him: "You came by yourself, didn't you bring a long follower?" ”

Shen Che laughed, and coughed for a while because of this laugh, "I don't know where your heart went." When did I come to see you? ”

Ji Chi blinked, Shen Che held up the umbrella and put it on top of her head, "Let's go." ”

He was like a dutiful entourage, even though the wind and rain were outside, the thin oil-paper umbrella was still firmly above her head, following her steps, not letting a drop of rain fall on her.

The umbrella surface is not too big, and after protecting her, she will naturally be drenched with Shen Che. He was worried about it, but he didn't see it, until he got into the carriage, and he "suddenly" noticed that half of his clothes were wet, and took his own handkerchief to wipe it for him.

The pond just stopped after a hasty wipe twice, and raised his hand to untie the big off his body and drape it back for him. Shen Che stopped and said suddenly, "If you are curious about Beiyuan, it's good to go and have a look." ”

He was startled and realized that he had just seen that he wanted to go to the bridge.

Shen Che's face remained unchanged, and he didn't mean to question, and his tone was gentle: "But let Mei Niang take you, Beiyuan is mixed, if you are seen, it will not be good for your reputation in the future." ”

If it weren't for today, he would have almost ignored this point - how could the dancing girl of the Moon Snatcher Workshop have never been to Beiyuan?

At this time, the explanation seemed that there was no silver here, and the rank pool simply responded generously - didn't you just ask Mei Niang to come and see herself, it was difficult for him to say it well.

Although the carriage is narrow, it can fit a small one. Shen Che poured a cup of hot ginger tea and handed it to the pool.

She took it and held it in her hand to keep warm.

"Drink it while it's hot, it can drive away the cold." Shen Che didn't look at her again, poured himself a lamp, and took a sip first.

He glanced at the tea cup in his hand, then lowered his eyes, took a small sip, and drank a cup of ginger tea until the carriage stopped, and then drank half of it.

The Chi family had already gotten the news, and Qing Dai was already waiting in front of the door with an umbrella, and when she saw the carriage stop, she immediately greeted her.

He put down the tea cup in his hand, just lifted the curtain of the car to go down, and as if he remembered something, he looked back at Shen Che, "Da Yu ......"

"Let it go of you." Shen Che's gaze lifted from her teacup on the small table, "Rest early." ”

He nodded indiscriminately and got out of the carriage, and the curtain fell, blocking the people inside. Qingdai hurriedly put the umbrella above her head and escorted her home.

The whole person of the pond was trapped in a wide air, perhaps because of walking through the rain curtain, her phoenix eyes were also puffed with a layer of mist, adding a bit of affection, so that people dare not look more. If you look at it more, the tip of your heart will tremble—like a scorching red peony with dew in the morning light, the moment when the dew wets the petals and slowly falls down the veins of the leaf, it makes the flower branch tremble.

Qing Dai didn't dare to glance into the car for half of her eyes, only holding an umbrella for the chime with her eyes and nose - she had just come to serve her cousin, and she hadn't even had time to find out her cousin's temperament, let alone know who her cousin was dealing with on weekdays. But...... The big piece on the cousin's body is a man with a good background at a glance.

She didn't dare to think about it, she just thought she couldn't see it.

Or did the chick open his mouth first, "Why are you here to pick it up, Mingyue?" ”

Qing Dai swallowed her saliva and muttered, "Sister Mingyue is preparing water for Miss, so I asked the slave to come out to pick up Miss......"

Zhichi knew that she misunderstood that she didn't like her, but she didn't rush to explain anything - she wanted to grind Qingdai, and when she entered the East Palace, Qingdai was a pair of eyes she left in the Chi family. These eyes need to be sharper and more clever.

In his previous life, when Qingdai first came to his side, he was also very restrained. After a long time, I gradually became more lively. Qingdai is not stupid, in the past, it was only because she was young, she was tortured by those subordinates, and she was hard-working, so she seemed a little dull.

She remembers that she still has a blind mother and a young sister at home. They all relied on her salary to barely survive, and Qingdai didn't dare to make a fork, so she was more and more obedient.

The pool took out the purse, and while there was no one around, it was stuffed into Qingdai's hand. Qing Dai was startled and almost didn't hold the umbrella.

"What is this doing, Miss?" The purse was heavy, full of broken silver, and I was afraid that it would be so much to sell her.

"There are few people in my house, so you must do more work, and I will make up for you. There are not such big rules around me, Mingyue was pointed out by my aunt," Zhichi paused intentionally and continued: "Naturally, there will be no lack of anything, but you are different, since you have already followed me, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can tell me." ”

After returning to Beijing, she has always been very generous in her hands, and she can't make her own decisions about everything, and she can't spend her money.

Qingdai was still stunned, and her hand was already instinctively clenching her purse, but she still gritted her teeth and pushed it back to the pool, "Taking care of Miss's daily life is a slave's business, where do you dare to ask Miss to make up for it, this is not in accordance with the rules......"

"Reactive and unsuccessful?" Ji Chi raised his eyebrows, but he didn't reach out to pick it up, and Qing Dai naturally didn't dare to let go.

"What you give it to you is for you, since it is useless, then learn more from Mingyue. You're smart and you'll soon be able to outdo all of them, don't let me down. ”

When the young lady said this, Qing Dai looked at the heavy purse in her hand, and thought of her mother and sister who were reluctant to even make winter clothes—the family really needed money. She hesitated for a while, but finally bowed to the title.

She was still holding an umbrella, her movements were restricted, and her etiquette was not thorough enough, so she was a little more anxious: "Since Qingdai is with Miss, she is a person who is young in life and a ghost in death, and she will never disappoint Miss!" ”

He only smiled and nodded, and continued walking. She hurriedly followed, quietly hid her purse, raised her eyes and secretly glanced at the side face of the pool, and thought happily that it must have been her sincerity enough to offer incense in front of the Buddha that day, so that she was favored by her cousin - her young lady is not only beautiful, but also bodhisattva-like.

When Mingyue returned to the room, Mingyue had already prepared water, and the wet clothes on her body were uncomfortable, so she just wanted to soak in the hot water quickly.

Mingyue took the big coat she took off, and was a little embarrassed for a while: "Miss, the one in front of you still occupies the suitcase, but this one also needs to be put away?" ”

Zhichi reacted for a while, and then remembered that on the day he came back from Huguo Temple, he received a big piece from Shen Che. Now, in just a few days, there are already two. If this continues, Shen Che is afraid that half of the winter clothes will be made for her this winter.

She sat in front of the dressing table, and said while untying the hairpin ring: "Hang it there, I'll send it back tomorrow." ”

If he doesn't let her return it, then she will only return one piece, and keep one for herself to eat here, and he shouldn't say anything.

When the hand of the chichi touched the hanging beads that were obliquely inserted in the bun and shook the begonia, she suddenly remembered that before she was led away by Mei Niang this morning, Shen Che leaned over to straighten the step for her.

At that time, she only felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know why-just when she mentioned Dayu, she remembered that on the day she came back from Huguo Temple, Shen Che also gave her a red gold title bead.

She told him at the time that she really liked that step shake and wanted to wear it every day.

In fact, on the day she came back, she threw the step into the makeup and never looked at it again.

Ji Chi pinched his eyebrows - it wasn't that she thought too much, according to Shen Che's thoughts, he would only think more than her.

It's too tiring to be with him.
