Chapter 423: Three Gifts, Seven Years

"Can the purple lotus bloom in winter?" The lady lady came to the celadon jar in surprise.

There are two or three round, turquoise lotus leaves in the celadon jar.

A palm-sized purple lotus poked its head out from under the lotus leaf.

The charcoal fire in the hall is continuous, even in winter, whether it is morning or evening, it is as warm as spring.

The palm-sized purple lotus did not fully bloom.

Layers of petals, only slightly blooming.

But it's already full of fragrance.

"The palace people are so well raised! Stand closer, the fragrance is stronger! ”

Concubine Niangniang smiled and took a deep breath, "This purple lotus is really extraordinary, breathing the fragrance of flowers, it makes people feel refreshed and relaxed." ”

The Emperor smiled and came to the celadon jar and put his hand on her shoulder.

He also took a breath, "Well, sure enough, ......"

The emperor's smile has not yet bloomed at the corner of his mouth.

His heart suddenly moved, his eyes were like torches, staring at the purple lotus that was blooming for the first time......

Is he blinded? Did Purple Lotus flash of light just now?

"In winter, it is a wonderful sight to see such a vibrant lotus flower, full of fragrance." Concubine Niangniang didn't notice the strangeness on the emperor's face.

The emperor snorted, "This purple lotus was given by Princess Huai." ”

The lady lady immersed herself in the fragrance of the purple lotus and closed her eyes to enjoy it.

Hearing this, she still didn't notice anything unusual, and her face was full of smiles, "Jin'er is a good child, well-behaved, sensible and filial." ”

The Emperor took his hand away from her shoulder and stared at Zilian's gaze, as sharp as an arrow.

The emperor stepped aside, "Who takes care of this purple lotus on weekdays?" ”

Fang Xu hurriedly called a little eunuch over.

"The slaves don't have much to take care of, and there is no need for top dressing in winter, just add some mountain spring water every few days." Although the little eunuch wanted to be rewarded, he did not dare to take credit.

The emperor stared at the little eunuch and did not speak for a long time......

The little eunuch glanced at the emperor's face, and was sincerely afraid...... The emperor doesn't seem to want to reward him?

That solemn expression, what's going on?

"Princess Huai...... Recently, can you take care of Zilian instead? The Emperor suddenly asked in a low voice.

The little eunuch glanced at Father-in-law Fang, "This ......"

Fang Xu said: "This little eunuch is often in the palace, he is afraid that he doesn't know." ”

"Then you should know!" The emperor turned his face to look at Fang Xu.

Fang Xu's heart tightened, but his face was not panicked, "Back to the emperor, Princess Huai has never taken care of Zilian. When Princess Huai was in this palace, she was all for the emperor to administer needles and medicines. ”

The emperor stared at Zilian and did not speak for a long time.

Concubine Shuniang also noticed that something was wrong with the emperor......

Why is this purple lotus blooming in winter, and he is still not happy?

Is this to anger Wen Jin?

The lady was not very happy, and when her daughter-in-law offered this treasure, the emperor was as happy as anything!

Shouldn't this baby be happier now that it's blooming in winter? What's on his face?

Concubine Niangniang was about to say good things for Wen Jin......

"Concubine Shu, step aside, I'm tired, I won't keep the New Year tonight." The emperor waved his hand and walked towards the dormitory.

The lady concubine was inexplicable.

She exited the temple and wanted to remind Wen Jin.

saw that in the side hall, Yu'er was already asleep.

Wen Jin dozed off and sat next to Chen'er.

Chen'er deliberately straightened her waist and sat upright...... In this way, Wen Jin tilted his head slightly, and he could rest on his shoulder.

The two seemed to be afraid of arguing with Yu'er to sleep, so they spoke very quietly.

In the warm side hall, it seems that there is already a taste of spring.

Concubine Shu sighed, it was rare for the two of them to sit and talk like this.

"Let's talk about reminding Jin'er about it tomorrow." The lady did not disturb them, and quietly returned to her residence.

After Concubine Shu left, the emperor did not return to the dormitory to rest.

He returned to Zilian's side, and he stared at Zilian......

Wen Jing's words, as well as the expression on his face when he spoke, flashed in front of him repeatedly.

He told himself, don't be suspicious!

But there are more and more doubts in my heart.

"At the beginning, when she presented the purple lotus, the purple light soared into the sky!

Now that she lives in the palace, the purple lotus blooms in winter.

"If Purple Lotus has nothing to do with her, it's only about dragon qi...... Isn't that a coincidence? ”

The emperor beckoned to the eunuch.

"Let's see what Princess Huai is doing at this moment?"

The little eunuch took the order and left......

Wen Jin was about to fall asleep at this time.

She was already sleepy, and she couldn't sleep enough in the palace.

Originally, she could still support herself and sit upright.

But if you hold on, your head will have its own ideas...... Tilt your head to the side.

Xiao Yuchen smiled.

He reached out and hugged her gently, letting her lean more comfortably on his shoulder.

"You squint for a while, and I'll call you again." Xiao Yuchen said.

"What hatred and what resentment...... Do you want to call me again? Wen Jin muttered.

Her lazy voice made Xiao Yuchen's heart tremble, and the tips of her ears were dyed red.

"Keep the New Year...... his voice was gentle, and he got goosebumps.

"Don't keep the New Year, but sleep." She grunted.

Xiao Yuchen trembled slightly, her heart was soft for a while, she was cold and alienated on weekdays, and she refused to be a thousand miles away.

It turns out that when I fell asleep, I was so soft and cute......

Does this mean that she is by her side and completely unguarded?

She already trusted him completely?

Xiao Yuchen smiled, and the stars under his eyes were shining, like sprinkled with broken diamonds.

"Read the gift before you go to sleep." Xiao Yuchen took out the gift box he had prepared.

Carved rosewood, warm green sandalwood, and waxy yellow sandalwood......

Wen Jin's eyes narrowed, "Why are there three boxes?" Who is it for? ”

Xiao Yuchen smiled and touched her head...... If she was awake, he would never have touched her.

That is, now, she is lazy and doesn't want to move, so he can do whatever he wants.

"Of course, it's all for you, originally I wanted to prepare seven...... But time is running out, and it's been a lot of trouble lately. Xiao Yuchen said slowly.

His smile was retracted, and his eyes were filled with deep guilt.

Seven gifts, seven years......

Missed gifts can be refilled.

The time that was missed, but it can never be made up.

Wen Jin opened the first red sandalwood box, her body was hot, and she immediately came to her senses.

"What a beautiful white jade! Is this Hetian jade? ”

A set of white jade jewelry is really as delicate and shiny as mutton fat, and the tentacles are warm.

The moment Wen Jin touched the jade, he felt that there were aura fluctuations in the aura space.

She hadn't even opened the space before she felt a strong aura rushing across her face.

"What are you doing with a probe to your brain?"

Xiao Yuchen suddenly let out a low voice, and his voice was cold.

"Pop" Wen Jin closed the red sandalwood box and looked up at the eunuch at the door.

"Dare to sneak around in the palace?" Xiao Yuchen's face was cold, and the murderous opportunity appeared.

The eunuch hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty, "The prince forgives the sin, the emperor asked the servants to come and see, did the prince and the princess sleep?"

"The imperial dining room has prepared a supper, and the princess and princess want to go to the palace to use it together?"

Xiao Yuchen looked at his son, who was sleeping sweetly on the couch beside him.

"Are you hungry?" He asked Wen Jin.

Wen Jin shook his head.

"Thanks to my father's kindness, we won't go. When the son is over, we will go and kowtow to our father and say goodbye. ”

The eunuch bowed and retreated.

Xiao Yuchen was thoughtful.
