Lu Wuji looked at her in silence for a moment, as if to observe whether what she said was true or false.

For his silence, Concubine Li was completely frightened and suffocated.

"You disappeared from the feast, and these servants knew nothing. Since you can't serve your master well, you naturally don't have to waste food anymore. Lu Wuji didn't ask where she had gone, but began to reassure her.

It's just that these words didn't make Concubine Li relax, on the contrary, she became even more nervous.

"Your Majesty, there are some minions, and the concubines are used to it, can you ask for a favor for them?"

It's not that she really feels sorry for the minions, the main thing is that those palace people have a handle in her hands, and they are very easy to wield, and they belong to her own power.

But now that there is a new wave of palace people, they are still sent by the emperor, I am afraid that it will be difficult to buy their own people, and they will definitely be constrained in the future.

"Aifei, you are just too soft-hearted, this time is different from before, you must be punished, otherwise it will not be a system. Rest well, and I'll come back to see you later. ”

Lu Wuji threw down this sentence, turned around and left, and didn't pay attention to her at all.

Concubine Li opened her mouth and wanted to stay, but seeing him walk so resolutely, she closed her mouth again.

She was just sober now, and she didn't know how things were going to go.

After I fainted, how did I come back?

Where is Cuifang now, and who instructed her?

She was confused, and she urgently needed someone to tell her what had happened, but when she looked at it, it was full of fresh faces, and she had to be careful about even the most basic inquiries.

Lu Wuji returned to Longqian Palace, and Qin Youan soon returned as well.

"Your Majesty, the palace people of Caixia Palace have already disposed of it. Concubine Li's side, do you still need a slave to add more fire? He asked.

Lu Wuji waved his hand: "Concubine Li was originally stupid, without these palace people, it would be equivalent to cutting off her hands, feet and brains, don't care about her anymore." ”

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jicheng is lit up everywhere to celebrate the New Year, and the palace is no exception.

Chen Xueying got up early in the morning and was about to go to greet the queen.

Lu Zhao got up earlier, he first played a set of boxing techniques, and after practicing the exercises, he went to wash up.

When he packed up and entered the main hall, Chen Xueying was still sitting in front of the dresser and asked the palace maid to braid her hair.

"The hour is coming." He couldn't help but remind.

"The queen mother won't mind, she said before that she likes a younger generation with a true temperament like me. It's a pity that her children, one race and the other are not pleasing to anyone, so they count on me to bring her joy. ”

Lu Zhao pursed his lips, he admired Chen Xueying a little, no matter what he said, he could finally turn around and praise himself, step on others by the way, and have a lot of fun by stepping on a hand.

"It's not nice to be late." He retorted.

"You don't understand, being late is also a way to be coquettish." Chen Xueying swears authentically.

This sentence silenced him again, and he really didn't understand.

The man sighed softly and walked forward slowly, looking at her through the mirror.

Chen Xueying was quite alert, and when she saw him coming, she immediately raised her hand to protect her hair.

"What are you doing so close all of a sudden? You can't mess it up, right? I can warn you, if you mess up, you will do it again, and this palace will not make compromises! ”

Lu Zhao sneered and said angrily: "Lonely in your eyes, is it so boring?" What are the benefits of messing up your hair, Lone? ”

"If it's not good, won't you get it? You're a little pervert, maybe you'll want to see Hongu unlucky! Chen Xueying rolled her eyes.

The man pouted, and he took out a phoenix hairpin made of ruby from his sleeve and tossed it up and down several times.

"Tsk, this is my favorite golden hairpin, don't play bad!" Chen Xueying immediately raised her eyes and glared at him.

This hairpin was placed in the previous jewelry box, and it was taken away by Lu Zhao, and it has not been returned to her until now, and at this moment he dares to take out a golden hairpin and play with it in front of her, which is full of provocation.

"Today, on the first day of the New Year, the snow outside is very thick, and when I saw this hairpin, I felt that it was very snowy."

Lu Zhao didn't quarrel with her anymore, but said a word very seriously, and then put the golden hairpin on the dresser, which meant self-evident, and asked her to wear it.

Chen Xueying was slightly stunned, and suddenly couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips and chuckled.

"It turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will also pay attention to the wind and snow. Words with such an atmosphere are not like coming out of your mouth. She picked up the hairpin and rubbed her fingers lightly over the flowers.

The gemstones are carved into the shape of petals and circled together to form a blooming phoenix flower, which is lifelike and bright red.

"If you have eyes, you will naturally distinguish between beauty and ugliness. Killing people in the snow is the most beautiful. The blood of the enemy was sprinkled on the snow, and the hot blood beads quickly melted the snow particles, and then were frozen into ice crystals by the cold. This phoenix flower is very much like blood. ”

Lu Zhao was not a person in the next second, and he almost chanted a poem for murder.

Ye Jing, who was waiting beside her, began to tremble with both hands after hearing this.

36 degrees of mouth, how to say such cold words.

Chen Xueying frowned: "Lu Zhao, for the New Year, you have to find it unhappy, right?" This palace likes this hairpin the most, but you said so, how can you wear it in the future, completely out of interest, bad luck! ”

She didn't know if she was scolding Lu Zhao or Jin Hai.

She grabbed Jin Hai on the spot, turned around and threw it in his face, which was obviously not uncommon.

Lu Zhao caught Jin Hai, and was a little stunned, he obviously said the wrong thing again.

"Lone likes the blood of the enemy, because it represents victory and comfort, and he is complimenting this hairpin for its beauty." After a moment of silence, he explained softly.

Although he usually talks to Chen Xueying, he doesn't include Fang Cai's words.

He really thought it looked good, and wanted her to wear it.

Chen Xueying rolled her eyes directly: "This palace hates blood the most!" ”

Her gaze met with the person in the mirror, and Lu Zhao no longer had a cold face, on the contrary, there was still a bit of confusion in his eyes.

"Speak." Her tone was domineering.

"Lone didn't know what to say. Lone just thinks this hairpin looks good, and it will be a good omen if you wear it today. He held his breath for a moment before he said this.

Chen Xueying sighed lightly, and couldn't help but read in pieces: "I really obeyed you, killing people for a while, the blood of the enemy for a while, where does it come from, it is clearly a bad omen." But forget it, it's not easy to expect you to say a word, the people of this palace are beautiful and kind, and it is a piece of His Highness's heart, so put it on. ”

As soon as Ye Jing heard this, she immediately took the golden hairpin with great insight and wanted to put it on her bun.

However, it was cut off by Chen Xueying and handed it to Lu Zhao again.

"If you want to see it, then wear it for me yourself."

This time, Lu Zhao was stunned, originally he wanted to say that he hadn't helped anyone wear it, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to serve the picky Princess Dayan.

However, she had just been murdered, and she finally let her relax, and she really didn't want to anger her anymore, so she could only come over in silence.

Eyes motioned to Ye Jing and asked her to tell her where to wear it.

It's just that Ye Jing saw him like a mouse seeing a cat, he usually shrank into the corner when he was serving, not to mention eye contact, he didn't dare to raise his head.

Lu Zhao's eyes were completely ignored, and he froze in place.

Hua Rong noticed it, and immediately reached out and tapped Chen Xueying's right bun.

Today, she combs her flying bun, which is flamboyant and extravagant.

Lu Zhao held this golden hairpin, and the whole person was cautious, as if he was facing a great enemy.

His hands have killed enemies, slashed wolves, held swords, guns and halberds, and they have all played tiger and tiger, but now he is stumped by this little golden hairpin, for fear of entangling her hair.

Fortunately, there was a flower paste for him to refer to, and even the angle and direction of the golden hairpin insertion, she had clearly compared it, and finally put the phoenix hairpin on.

With jet-black hair, with this red and expensive golden hairpin, it really looks good.

He couldn't help but glance at the bronze mirror, no one in the mirror was as white as snow, and the red and bright phoenix flowers lined her lips with more and more bright red, and the whole person looked radiant.

Chen Xueying raised the corners of her lips and smiled at him.

Lu Zhao immediately lowered his eyelids, and the speed of dodging was as sharp as ever.

"What are you hiding? This palace is not a flood beast. Chen Xueying frowned dissatisfied.

"Let's go, it's too late, it's not coquettish, it's not about not taking it to heart." Lu Zhao diverted the topic.

She didn't dwell on it anymore, stood up, and the palace maids on both sides immediately squatted down to arrange the skirt for her, and the group drove the Fengzao Palace.

Sure enough, as Lu Zhao said, it was white outside, and his feet made a "crunching" sound when he stepped on the snow.

Chen Xueying frowned, she hated wearing clogs the most, but fortunately, the sedan chair came soon.

Lu Zhao no longer pays attention to any hard work, and rides with her.

As soon as you enter the Fengzao Palace, the warmth immediately hits, isolating the wind and snow outside, as if it has come to spring.

"Zhao'er and Xueying are here." The Queen's gentle voice came from the inner sanctum.

Before the two could answer, they heard a rough voice from the inner hall: "Queen Mother, Erchen wants to go back to practice swords, go back first." ”

"Wait, I won't see you a few times throughout the year, can't I stay and talk to my mother more?" The queen immediately began to hold on.

Chen Xueying took off her cloak and approached the charcoal basin to dispel the cold air on her body, before slowly walking into the inner hall.

"Yo, I said where the duck called, it turned out that the fourth brother was here. I haven't seen you for a while, how did your good voice become like this, was it smoked by fire, or was it hoarse crying? ”

She looked up, and the queen was leaning back on the cushion, still gasping slightly.

I don't know if the two sons have arrived, her face is a little flushed, and she is quite interested.

The fourth prince is much taller than before, and the contours on his face are clearer, and he has begun to enter the period of voice change.

The fourth prince glared at her, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he was afraid of being ridiculed by her, and finally closed it again.

Chen Xueying laughed, and would not give up because of his concession, this is a rare topic of laughter, and he can't let it go.

"During the Chinese New Year, the fourth brother didn't even say a word, it's really hurtful." She feigned a sigh.

"You're so late, you're too embarrassed to pick on me!"

Finally, Lu Qingyue still couldn't hold back, and directly opened her mouth to go back.

"That's not sympathetic to your young age, there should be a lot of things I want to say to the queen mother, so Lu Zhao and I specially came over slowly, just to let you be coquettish with the queen mother and cry your nose." Chen Xueying replied immediately.

"Who is coquettish and crying? Since I was born, I have not been spoiled. Since I was sensible, I didn't cry anymore! Lu Qingyue sneered, the look on her face was very disdainful.

This sentence poked the queen's sadness, the perverted way of raising the prince of the Lu family, so that their mother and son were separated early, and the children have understood the truth of the law since they were young, only if they are strong, they will not be coquettish at her.

After Lu Qingyue finished speaking, she couldn't help but look at the queen, as if she knew that she had said the wrong thing.

"Then you're late to understand, I saw you crying last month. I howled so loudly, and I cried ugly, with a lot of tears and snot. Fourth brother, it's not your sister-in-law who said you, you are really a crying bag. Since I married to the Northern Qi Dynasty, it depends on how many times you have cried, and you can't count it with one hand! ”

She spread out her palms as she spoke, showing how much he loved to cry.

Her innocent ridicule instantly washed away a lot of self-blame and discomfort in the queen's heart, and turned into a little interest.

The young son's lively and active appearance is rarely seen by her.

She is concerned about the four princes, and the four princes also know that they want to be considerate of their sick and weak mothers.

But the royal rules make them very far away, obviously they are biological mother and son, but the relationship is quite rusty, and they often say a few words and will be cold.

Both of them will deliberately avoid certain taboos and don't want to touch each other's scars, but with the perverted environment of the Lu family, there are taboo topics everywhere, and it is difficult to extend it.

Both parties want to think about each other, and the original intention is good, but once the chat is tied, it is easy to fall into a situation where there is nothing to say.

On the contrary, after Chen Xueying came in, she picked Lu Qingyue's unhappy places everywhere and said that the atmosphere was lively and friendly.

Even the four princes can be ridiculed when they cry, he used to cry for his dead wolf brothers, but now he can say it without any guilt, it can be seen that he has come out of that sadness, revealing a sense of peace of mind.

"Cut, I've cried so many times, and most of it is thanks to you, and you're embarrassed to say it. Relying on someone behind you to help you, you bullied the small with the big and set fire to me. Lu Qingyue's face was dark, and he obviously felt embarrassed.

"The next time the skills are not as good as others, don't provoke first. provoked others first, but he couldn't beat them, so he could only retreat in disgrace. If it weren't for my mercy, you would have cried even more ugly, and when you do it to others in the future, you will have more brains! Chen Xueying slammed back unceremoniously, she didn't mean to give in at all.

Lu Qingyue opened her mouth to refute, but she couldn't say anything defensible, so she could only put down the teacup, got up and said, "Queen Mother, the son of the minister retires." ”

"Hey, what's the reason for running away? I'm definitely going to hide and cry again! ”

"Who wants to cry, look carefully, the young master doesn't even have red eyes!" His eyes widened, proving his composure.

As everyone knows, he leaned forward and looked completely excited, looking not calm at all.

"Then stay and prove yourself. Who knows if you're holding back at this moment, tears will pop away as soon as you turn around! Chen Xueying is obviously agitating the method.

"Humph!" Lu Qingyue snorted coldly, really sat down, and poured herself a cup of tea.

He stayed here to prove himself, but didn't want him to say one more word.

Chen Xueying didn't pay attention to her anymore, and chatted with the queen instead.

She can coax Bai Fumei's customers happily in modern times, and she is naturally not a problem in the face of the queen, she is so obedient and speaks just right, and she will not be flattering, she just feels very pleasant.

The queen was originally very restrained in the face of her two sons.

She felt guilty that she couldn't take care of them, but she really wanted to be close to them, but because her sons were all grown up and their personalities were more and more thorny, she didn't need to take care of them at all, and she couldn't even get close to her.

But after wanting to talk happily with Chen Xueying at this moment, the queen gradually forgot about the tension, slowly relaxed herself, and naturally took over when Chen Xueying threw out the topic about Lu Zhao.

The original difficult New Year's greetings passed so quickly today.

The queen was reminded by her grandmother, and only then did she react, an hour had passed, and she had almost always maintained a very strong conversation, even if she was still reluctant to separate, her body couldn't hold on, and she began to cough and wheeze.

She took out the gift slip from her sleeve and said, "This is prepared by Lu Zhao and his daughter-in-law for you, in addition to the supplements, those fun little items are all collected by the daughter-in-law." If you have nothing to do, you can take the palace people to play together and pass the time. ”

"I was so happy to talk to the queen mother that I forgot the time. You rest, and the daughter-in-law will take the two of them with their ornaments. Chen Xueying got up and said goodbye.

The queen immediately asked Mama to take the gift list, and she also prepared a New Year's gift, and after handing it to Chen Xueying, she held her hand and was reluctant to let go for a while.

"You don't need to go to court these days, Lu Zhao is also free, we will come back tomorrow." Chen Xueying naturally knew her unfulfilled intentions and immediately assured her.

The queen immediately turned her head to look at Lu Zhao, as if she was afraid that her eldest son would not agree.

Lu Zhao met her gaze, nodded slightly, and agreed.

The queen looked at the four princes again, Lu Qingyue only looked down at the tips of her shoes, obviously not ready to agree, but her arm was pinched by Chen Xueying.

"Don't worry, the queen mother, the fourth brother is also back, if he can't afford to get out of bed, let Lu Zhao throw him into the snow to wake up." Chen Xueying directly made the decision for the four princes.

Lu Qingyue opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but was pushed away by Lu Zhao.

As soon as a few people walked out of the gate of Fengzao Palace, Lu Qingyue stopped doing it.

"You want to give favors yourself, how can you use me as a raft?"

As soon as Chen Xueying heard him say this, her face suddenly turned cold: "After only a few days of learning human language, you can't spit out ivory in your mouth?" It's your mother in this palace, what favor should I give? If you don't want to be filial, just cut off the relationship with her, if you want to be a filial son, come when you should accompany her, don't be unwilling, grinding and chirping sticky. ”

"When facing people who really care about you, a blunt knife is the most stinging."

She snatched the white and directly silenced Lu Qingyue.

His face turned a little pale, the stubborn expression on his face disappeared, and his neck was retracted.

"I didn't say reluctantly, I just blamed you for stealing the credit. If you don't say it, I'm going to accompany you too. He argued stubbornly, but his tone was very weak, obviously afraid of being reprimanded again.

For some reason, he has fought against Chen Xueying countless times, even if he was burned and kicked until he couldn't get up, he didn't feel weak, and he was still determined to come back next time.

But this time, he actually had the heart of retreat, and even faintly frightened, he concluded that Chen Xueying was stronger than before.

"You'd better come to Fengzao Palace to sit when you have time these days, I'll be staring at you. See if you're talking big! Chen Xueying snorted lightly, and her tone softened a little, but she still didn't let go of her words.

Lu Qingyue raised her head, quietly looked at her face, and saw that she didn't have a dark face, so she muttered reassuringly: "You just spoke so well in Fengzao Palace, why did you become extremely vicious as soon as you came out." It's like being bitten by someone! ”

To be honest, just watching her chatting with the queen, Lu Qingyue thought that Chen Xueying had been dropped.

She has such a gentle and pleasing side, the sky is pitiful, he has seen it for the first time.

Even in the face of Lu Wuji before, Chen Xueying was mostly gags, and she had to be yin and yang in her words, but in short, she could feel the dissatisfaction.

But when facing the queen, she is like a good man and a woman, and she is about to shine with the Buddha's light.

"What others do to this palace, this palace will do to others. If you think I'm fierce, take a look in a mirror and see what kind of immoral I am! Chen Xueying turned her head and smiled at him, and the words she said were still quite unfriendly.

Listening to these familiar prickly words, Lu Qingyue completely lost her temper.

yes, that's the right taste.

"In order to ease the atmosphere today, this palace said that his mouth is dry, you two are not even as good as an ornament, the ornament is at least good-looking, you two are wooden stakes, and you don't have a little eyesight, you won't pour a cup of tea for me to moisten my throat. Tomorrow must not be like this, after going back, you must think of a topic, tomorrow please communicate with the queen mother. When Chen Xueying said this, her speed of speech was a little urgent, and she could hear that her voice was a little hoarse.

"Why-" Lu Qingyue opened her mouth to refute.

As soon as Chen Xueying lowered her head and looked at him, the young man who was instantly excited shrank back.

"Got it, but don't expect too much, I don't know what you women say." Lu Qingyue was still unconvinced.

Chen Xueying snorted lightly, "That's because you're stupid, so you can't understand." If you don't understand, you can learn, and if you can't learn, talk about your own things. The queen mother has been separated from you for many years, and she must be very curious about your affairs, and you report to her? You're not so stupid as to say what you've done, can you? ”

"Who is stupid? Big brother, why don't you speak, is the dignified prince at the mercy of a woman? Lu Qingyue had no choice but to ask for reinforcements.

Lu Zhao, who had been acting as a background board, was instantly locked by two lines of sight.

"Little brother, it's not a shame to admit defeat if you can't win on the battlefield, but it's a shame to want to ask for reinforcements if you can't win or admit it." Lu Zhao couldn't help but educate him.

At first glance, this sentence sounded like the donkey's lips were not in the horse's mouth, but Lu Qingyue immediately understood that this was pointing at him.

"Who said I lost? Tomorrow you'll see! Lu Qingyue saw that the eldest brother was unreliable, so she turned around and slipped away.

He didn't want to stay any longer, the next step would definitely be for the husband and wife to join forces, the last time the eldest brother and sister-in-law worked together to make Lu Qingfeng disgraced, he was not as stupid as the second brother.

Lu Zhao saw him run away, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this matter had turned a page.

As a result, as soon as he turned his head, he met Chen Xueying's smiling eyes.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, he runs fast, I can't care about it. But the two of us are going back together, so you can think about it seriously on the way, and when it's time to eat, tell the palace carefully what you are going to talk about tomorrow. ”

Lu Zhao took a light breath, he looked at Chen Xueying in a daze, was silent for a moment, and suddenly spoke extremely seriously.

"Crown Princess, Lone has always felt that this phoenix hairpin is very suitable for the snow scene, and it is actually more suitable for you." ：，，
