Seeing Situ Lin like this, Zhong Li looked at him quite indifferently, "Is the prince who everyone is in awe like this in his own mansion?"

"Naturally, it won't be like that. Situ Lin smiled very calmly, he walked to Zhong Li's side, lowered his body, and put his mouth to her ear, "Actually, I only do this to you." Before the words fell, he let out a hearty laugh, "I'll take this Hanmei back to the house, you can come to the Lingwang Mansion at any time, I'll go back to the house first." ”

Situ Lin's sudden move made Zhong Li, who had gone through two lifetimes, stunned on the spot, and Situ Lin in the previous life rarely reflected such behavior in her memory.

In the side hall, Lin Yue whispered and communicated with Zhong Qinghe, and when she saw Zhong Zihong walking in, she immediately stepped forward to ask for warmth, during which she inquired about the brocade box left by the prince that day, and Zhong Zihong responded with a match or not, and talked about who the brocade box was given to or when Zhong Li arrived, and then talked about who the brocade box was for.

As soon as these words fell, Zhong Li's voice came in, "Since my father and Aunt Qinghe value the brocade box so much, why don't you give it to them, Li'er doesn't care, and the prince sent it should be given to Qinghe, who has the title of the prince's side concubine." ”

"Since Li'er said so, the brocade box will be given to Qinghe. Zhong Zihong said smoothly, "The weather is cold, Li'er's body is getting better, you should also pay attention not to catch a cold, and then let the kitchen fill a warm pot." You will all go down for a while, and you don't have to wait here. ”

The subordinates in the side hall responded in unison and retreated one after another. Zhong Fu went to the back kitchen alone, and after a while, he brought the warm pot in with the cook, and was about to retreat, but Zhong Zihong raised his hand to stop him and asked him to sit down and eat together.

This made Lin Yue and Zhong Qinghe quite surprised, and their faces immediately turned cold, "Master, this is not in accordance with the rules, after all, he is just a housekeeper, how can he sit at the same table with the master? If it was a concubine in the past, there would not be much to say, but now Qinghe has the identity of the crown princess, although she has not yet left the cabinet, but after all, she is already a royal person, which is probably unreasonable." ”

As soon as Lin Yue's words came out, Zhong Fu, who was already worried, couldn't sit or stand, and fell into a dilemma.

"Master, don't blame the concubine for speaking directly. The concubine knew that the lord asked Zhong Fu to eat together, because he had helped manage the big Zhong Mansion over the years. Seeing Zhong Fu like this, Lin Yue immediately said, "According to the concubine's body, it is better to give Zhong Fu a small courtyard in the grange, or let him have a courtyard of his own, so that their family can have their own industry, and they can also live there in the future." ”

"Oh, according to what you said, this Qinghe is already a royal person, so now a meal together must follow the royal regulations?" Zhong Zihong said in a deep voice, without the slightest expression on his face, but there was a chill in his eyes, "However, the proposal to give Zhong Fu a courtyard in the grange is really good." And remember, Zhong Qinghe didn't get married for a day, and he had to abide by the rules of my Zhong Mansion for a day, and I still had the final say in Zhong Mansion. ”

"Uncle Fu, since my father has already said so, you can sit down and eat together with peace of mind. Zhong Li, who had not spoken, spoke at the right time, "Father, don't be annoyed, you see, Aunt Lin is preparing to serve this table, and when she thinks that Aunt Lin is also wrong for a while." ”

Zhong Zihong sighed heavily, "Okay, let's all sit down and eat." Whoever dares to say a word to Zhong Fu that he shouldn't say, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

Originally, everything arranged by the Lin family was disrupted by himself, and he could only eat sullenly. flattered Zhong Zihong with all his heart, and Zhong Qinghe showed his well-behaved beside him, and he flattered Zhong Li in every way.

All this is in Zhong Li's eyes, the two femme fatales in front of her are simply clowns, but now she still needs more time to cultivate her own power, and more importantly, according to the memory of her previous life, Situ Lin will be jointly promoted by the prince and his henchmen to explore the remnants of the hidden capital after the New Year's Festival, but he was seriously injured by the villain's plot and disappeared for several months before returning to Beijing to resume his life. It was at that time that she had an intersection with the crown prince Ye Yang, and half a year later she married into the prince's mansion and became his concubine.

Although the trajectory of fate has changed now, she will not marry the crown prince Ye Yang as a concubine, but she must not take it lightly when she explores the remnants of the hidden capital. And Zhong Qinghe and the Lin family can't let them live too freely, since they want to fly on the branches so much, then fulfill them.

After dinner, Zhong Zihong was very worried, and asked his subordinates to send the brocade box to the Fuyuan Courtyard and went to Changyuan with Zhong Fu.

"Miss, in the evening, the young master ordered someone to bring a message. The cuckoo picked the fire cage, and the chestnuts in the fire cage crackled, and the chestnuts were clearly ready. As he spoke, the cuckoo took out the ripe chestnuts with tongs, "The people over there in Changyuan have cleared it, there is no problem, and the people from Yunlu have also arrived." Also, in the past few days, there has been some unevenness over there, and the young master will let you recuperate with peace of mind, and he and the prince will deal with it. ”

Before the words fell, An Ran ran in with a large handful of Hanmei, "It's really cold this day, Miss, I'm happy to see the Hanmei when the prince leaves." I think that adding this quiet plum fragrance to this bedroom is not only a good smell, but also a good match for the young lady's heart. She quickly took a porcelain vase and inserted Hanmei in a staggered manner, "It's so fragrant...... , there are chestnuts to eat. Miss, do you think this cold plum is beautiful?" put down the porcelain bottle, kept looking at the chestnuts that were taken out of the fire cage by the cuckoo, and did not forget to ask for praise from his own young lady.

"Little gluttonous cat, the chestnuts are still hot, and you will be indispensable later. The cuckoo looked back at the white smoke on his head, "Look at you, brave the heavy snow to fold flowers, and don't bring a hood, the snow on your head has melted, be careful of the wind cold, come over and warm up." ”

An Ran put the porcelain vase full of cold plums on the small table, and ran to the fire cage to spread his hands to keep warm, "In this winter, it is most comfortable to eat chestnuts in the snow." ”

Zhong Li couldn't help laughing at the interaction between the two people, picked up a chestnut and opened it unhurriedly, and the fragrance was immediately overflowing. "The roasted chestnuts are delicious, sweet and glutinous. Before the words fell, I saw a trace of loss in An Ran's eyes, looking at Hanmei on the small table, a trace of tears appeared in his eyes. Seeing this, Zhong Li said with a smile, "An Ran's Hanmei is very good, I like it." ”

An Ran heard Zhong Li say this, and laughed before the tears subsided, "Miss likes it, I will change the water in Hanmei every day." This inner room is too hot, Hanmei may not be able to stand it, so I put it on the bookcase next to the window. As he spoke, he picked up the porcelain vase, moved it to the bookcase, adjusted it several times, and returned to the inner room to sit with everyone.

In the Fuyuan Courtyard, the Lin family and Zhong Qinghe retreated and carefully opened the brocade box. The gorgeous palace costumes and jewelry jumped in front of them, which couldn't help but make the two of them exclaim.

"The handiwork in this palace is really different, and this craftsmanship is by no means comparable to those embroiderers. Lin Yue took out the palace clothes in the brocade box and praised it.

Zhong Qinghe sat aside, caressing the jewelry in his hand with joy, "What my mother said is that the objects in this palace are really different, although there is no set of ice seed heads, but the set of coral-decorated owl tail shakes sent by the prince are exquisite and fine, and they simply complement each other with this set of palace clothes." ”

Lin Yue happily put away the palace clothes, and said with a smug smile, "That little slut is really good at pretending, if you know that this is the case in this brocade box, maybe how can you be annoyed?"

"Mother, you said that if she knew that this brocade box was a palace dress, maybe the madness would happen again. Saying that, he poured himself a cup of hot tea and took a sip slowly, "Mother, in a few days it will be the New Year's Festival palace banquet, and my daughter feels that this palace costume will definitely overwhelm the crowd and become the leader among the ladies of this Beijing family." ”

"That's for sure, Qing Hesheng's beauty is already beautiful, plus this set of gorgeous clothes and jewelry given by the prince, it must be the most dazzling in the New Year's Palace banquet. Lin Yue adjusted her sitting posture and carefully put away her jewelry, "It's snowing heavily right now, and everyone is hiding in the room and won't walk around in the house. ”

"Why are you going at this time?" Zhong Qinghe frowned slightly displeased, "It's freezing this day, and my mother already knows where the old nun is being held?" However, out of curiosity, she still responded to Lin Yue and went out of the Fuyuan Courtyard together.

Originally, the Zhong Mansion, which was brightly lit and had soldiers patrolling from time to time, was surprisingly quiet tonight, leaving the lantern hanging under the porch to swing in the wind. Zhong Qinghe and Lin Yue supported each other in fox furs, walking cautiously through the mansion, and their every move fell in the eyes of a person who was in the dark, only to see a contemptuous smile on the corner of the mouth, and quietly followed.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew out all the lanterns, and there was a strange sound, followed by a fluttering of wings. The other two of them exclaimed, but they were afraid of attracting the government soldiers, so they immediately covered their mouths, looked around but did not see any living creatures, and their hearts were terrified. The two of them were close together, running wildly all the way, until they came to Zhong Zihong's study, and they stopped. The original guards outside the courtyard of the study did not know where to go, but the courtyard door was hidden, and only the room on the west side of the study was lit.

"Mother, why did you get here?" Zhong Qinghe asked with Lin Yue in confusion.

Lin Yue didn't answer her question, but just covered her mouth with her hand and motioned for her not to make a sound. Zhong Qinghe nodded understandingly, took Lin Yue's hand, took half a step back without a trace, and carefully observed the surrounding situation, the north wind was howling and sweeping the heavy snow, and because of the accumulation of snow, the earth was reflected exceptionally brightly. I saw Lin Yue carefully push open the courtyard door, stretched out her hand and pulled Zhong Qinghe into the courtyard, and went straight to the bright west.
