The lights in the city are gradually sparse, and the snow is like a thick white curtain, gradually covering the world.

Pei Zhao finally put away the shackles, it turns out that he has been playing for so long. As soon as he stopped, he couldn't help coughing for a long time. He must have eaten a lot of cool wind. He was really stupid. Pei Zhao tried his best to hold back his cough and said to me, "It's snowing. At the end of the day, you should escort the Crown Princess back."

I saw a fluffy snowflake on his eyelashes, which melted in the blink of an eye.

I said willfully: "I don't want to go back."

Crown Princess... "Don't call me Crown Princess."

Pei Zhao didn't hesitate, and still said respectfully, "Yes, madam."

I felt very annoyed and asked, "Do you like that princess?"

Pei Zhao was stunned and did not speak.

I patted him on the shoulder comfortingly: "I guess you don't like it! I didn't expect you to be forced to marry someone you don't like. Alas, you men in the Central Plains are so pitiful. But I also laughed at fifty steps. Baibu. Even if Li Chengyin is the crown prince, he can't make the person he likes the crown princess, and you, and he cherishes each other..."

My idioms may be used in a mess, so Pei Zhao's face was quite unnatural, and finally he just answered "yes" lightly.

I said generously: "Don't worry about it! I'll treat you to a flower wine!"

Pei Zhaoshu was choked again and coughed again. I told him generously: "I have a good friend in Mingyufang! She looks so pretty! I'm cheap for you today!"

Prince Concubine... "Don't call me Prince Concubine!" I happily pulled him, "Let's go! Come and have some flower wine with me!"

Pei Zhao obviously didn't expect me to be a frequent visitor in Fengyue Field. When he saw my style in Mingyufang, he was shocked.

The key is that when Auntie Wang has one piece, I look like I saw a living treasure. I smiled and greeted me, and grabbed my sleeve: "Oh, Mr. Liang is here! The girls upstairs and downstairs, Mr. Liang is here. !"

The key is that when Auntie Wang has one piece, I look like I saw a living treasure. I smiled and greeted me, and grabbed my sleeve: "Oh, Mr. Liang is here! The girls upstairs and downstairs, Mr. Liang is here. !"

Although Aunt Wang was covered in flesh, her voice was sharp, thin, high and bright. With such a croak, the entire Mingyufang suddenly burst into flames, and countless Yingyingyanyan dressed in red and green poured out from upstairs and downstairs. "Young Master Liang is here! Why has Young Master Liang not been here for so long? Young Master Liang forgot about us..."

I was surrounded by them, and I was very embarrassed: "No no... I passed by today... "

snort! The day before yesterday, Yueniang was still saying, Young Master Liang, if you don't come again, we'll dig out all the fifteen jars of good wine that you have here. "Yeah, and the jar of snow buried under the plum blossoms, Yueniang still keeps the sencha for you to taste!"

It's snowing again today, we'll use this snow water to cook the bar! "Yeah!"

I was dizzy because of their quarrel and asked, "Where's Yueniang? Why can't I see her?"

Yueniang, she is sick! "I was taken aback:" Sick? "Yes! Lovesickness!"

lovesickness? "No. The day before yesterday, a distinguished guest came here to have a cup of tea, listen to a song, and then left. I didn't expect that Yueniang would suffer from lovesickness."

Who could make Yueniang suffer from lovesickness? "Looking at the noble person of the scholar family, is he tall, a talented person, an extraordinary talker, and a high-spirited..."

There is no drama after listening to it. I have heard those storytellers say how many times. It is the young master and the young lady who privately set up the back garden for life, and there are no sons and dusty women. What's more, this Yueniang is the top of the hook column, the people in the classroom, the son who lost under her pomegranate skirt is not one thousand or eight hundred, how can she suffer from lovesickness

Yueniang and I are Jin Lan, and we immediately went upstairs to see her in her room. She really hadn't slept yet, just leaning against the smoked cage, holding her cheeks, looking at a red candle on the table, not knowing what she was thinking.

fifteen! "I changed her nickname.

BBs?JoOYOo.NeT Yueniang saw that it was me, and she was also listless: "You're here?" I looked her up and down: "Are you really lovesick?" Sister, you don't know, he is really a fairy! "

You taught me that men are good-looking and can't be eaten! "Not only is he a talented person, but he also has an extraordinary conversation... What's more rare is that he doesn't mean anything frivolous to me..." Yueniang clasped her hands together, "God bless, when will I see him again..."

Isn't he also a woman disguised as a man? "I couldn't help interrupting her," When you recognized me as a woman, didn't you just say that I don't mean anything frivolous to you, so you can tell that I'm actually a woman... "Yueniang is fundamentally Don't be moved by me: "How could he be a woman disguised as a man, and looking at his bearing, you can tell that he is a man among men... alas..." I bit my ear and told her: "I brought Pei Zhao today! Are you not bent on revenge? Do you want to do something beautiful on Pei Zhao and ask him to avenge you? His father is the general of Xiaoqi, he is General Jinwu, I heard that the Pei family is quite powerful! "Yueniang shook her head sadly:" It was useless. Gao Mingquan has dominated the government and the opposition for more than 20 years, and his disciples are all over the party. Even the Pei family can't bring him down. And I heard that Concubine Gao is going to be a queen soon. "" Concubine Gao is going to be a queen? "" Yes, it is rumored that His Majesty deposed Empress Zhang because he wanted Concubine Gao to be Empress. "I can't help but admit that I have failed so much as a crown princess, and I don't even know the popular candidates for the queen. I have only met Gao Guifei twice before, and I met them occasionally when I went to the queen's Dingxing. I tried hard to recall. After a long time, I only remembered a vague outline, but I couldn't remember what she looked like.

I said, "If only you could meet the emperor, you can tell him your grievances." Yueniang used to be an official in her family, but she was framed by Gao Ming and beheaded. At that time, she was only six or seven years old, and she got away with it but was sold into Goulan as a singer. Over the years, she has been thinking about revenge. When she told me about her life experience for the first time, she cried. I feel sorry for her, but unfortunately I can't help her.

Yueniang sighed faintly: "Even if I see the emperor, it's useless... ah... I don't want to see the emperor... I... Now in my heart... just... I just don't know when I can see that person again... "Yue Niang really suffers from lovesickness. , I don't even care about the family's great feud, just that young master.

I came down and took a photo and went upstairs. There are braziers everywhere in Mingyufang, which is very warm. Yueniang is the top court oiran of Mingyufang. As soon as she opened the curtain in front of her room, a warm fragrance filled her. Several people greeted us and dragged us in. Pei Zhao was not used to such occasions, so I blasted all the beauties out, and only left Yueniang to accompany us for a drink.

In the middle of the night, I was also hungry. The chefs at Mingyufang did a good job, otherwise I wouldn't be here all the time. One is that they have a contract with Yueniang, and the other is that the food here is good.

I ate a full meal and forgot all the discomforts of the wind and the snow on the tower. Yueniang hugged the pipa, caressed the strings lazily, and sang line by line: "I will never miss love in my life, but only when I miss it, it will hurt love. Her body is like a floating cloud, her heart is like flying fluff, and her breath is like a gossamer..." The voice was lazy, as if it was really a game, and it really had a tone of lovesickness. I glanced at Pei Zhao and said, "Why don't you eat?" "Young Master, please do it yourself, I'm not hungry." I think he has improved compared to before, at least he won't take a single bite. I pointed it out to him with chopsticks: "The fish sauce here is the best in all Shangjing. It's made with Persian spices. It's not fishy at all. Would you like to try it?" Tried it.

On the way back to the palace, Pei Zhao suddenly asked me, "Is this young lady an old family member of the Chen family?" Chen? "I nodded and took the opportunity to tell him about Yueniang's family background, how pitiful she was, how pitiful she was.

Pei Zhao could already see the high wall of the East Palace from a distance. Pei Zhao stopped and suddenly said to me: "Prince Concubine, there will be a sentence at the end. I don't know if I should say it or not." Just say it." He paused, then said: "Prince Concubine has a pure and good nature, but the East Palace is a place of right and wrong. As the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness is even more embarrassed. The last general thought that the Crown Princess should not be with Yueniang. People like this come and go... "I never thought Pei Zhao was so annoying, so I sneered:" I know that you are both royal family members and look down on women like Yueniang, but tell me not to tell my friends Going again, that can't be done! I'm not a snobby like you. I don't make friends with her when I look at people without power and power. That's right, Yueniang is a dusty woman, and I really spoiled General Pei tonight. Please don't worry, General Pei, I won't take you to such places in the future, you can be your concubine in peace! "I've never spoken to Pei Zhaogan in such a snarky way, so after I said it, it took a long time. He didn't make a sound for a while. I only heard the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the snow. This is a galloping road, all of which are paved with bluestones that are two feet wide. The snow was still falling, a thin layer of snow had accumulated on the ground, and the horses walked very slowly.

Going all the way to the south wall of the East Palace, I ignored Pei Zhao.

I don't know how things turned out completely unexpected to me afterwards. Because the New Year is coming soon, there are many ceremonies in the palace, and there is no queen this year, so many things fall on my shoulders, and the internal and external wives have to perform pilgrimages and give banquets... Although the harem is temporarily presided over by Concubine Gao, she is only a concubine after all. Yong Niang told me that many people looked at the Yuanchen ceremony and wondered whether the emperor would let Concubine Gao preside over it.

Will Concubine Gao become a queen? "

The slaves did not dare to lie. "Yongniang said to me very respectfully. I knew she would not express her opinion on this kind of thing casually, and she also told me: "The crown princess should not talk about this matter, this is not what a son-in-law should ask. "I think I have a lot of troubles recently, more annoying than caring about who is the queen. For example, Zhao Liangdi recently deducted Xu Baolin's fee. Although Xu Baolin is honest, her palace servants are not vegetarians. On the contrary, they were trapped by Zhao Liangdi's people, saying that they stole things from the treasury and would drive them out of the East Palace. In the end, Xu Baolin came to me and shed tears. Those things took my life, I had to appease Xu Baolin, but the two palace people were still driven out of the East Palace, I had to ask Yong Niang to pick two more people for Xu Baolin. Except for these in the East Palace Trivial matters, the more important thing is that the Empress Dowager occasionally catches a cold. It doesn't matter if she is sick. The whole palace is holding her heart tightly. After all, she is a seventy-year-old old man. Originally, I didn't need to worry about it every morning and evening. Now that the rules have been established, he has to serve soup and medicine at Shouning Palace every day. Another example is Li Chengyin who accidentally twisted his ankle while playing polo. Although it was not in the way of walking, he went out again soon after his injury. With such a thing, the emperor was furious and summoned him to scolded him severely. After he came back, Zhao Liangdi didn't know why he angered him. He even slapped Zhao Liangdi. I was crying endlessly. Everyone tried to persuade him to stop, but Li Chengyin's temper was easy to go along with, so he immediately walked away and stayed alone in the main hall for several days.

Yong Niang repeatedly persuaded me to see Li Cheng Yin. I knew what she meant, but I just ignored her.

I didn't expect that I didn't go to see Li Cheng Yin, he came back to me.

There was a little snow that night, and the weather was so cold that there were smoked cages in the hall, making people drowsy. So I went to bed early and Li Cheng Yin suddenly came.

He only brought an official with him. If A'Du hadn't been alert, I wouldn't even know if he would have gone to bed. When A'Du shook me awake, I was sleeping soundly, I yawned and rubbed my sullen eyes and looked at Li Chengyin, only to feel strange: "What are you doing here? "Sleep! He was not angry, he sat down and stretched his legs out. The inner officer took off his boots for him, and wanted to undress him. He waved his hand, and the inner officer walked out with his hands down. As soon as A'Du woke me up, he would have long since stopped. Know where to slip.

I yawned again, and fell asleep to myself again. If it wasn't for Li Cheng Yin pulling the quilt, I wouldn't be able to wake up.

I gave half of the quilt to him in a daze, but he put it on. I don't know who took off his clothes for him in the end. He only wore a thin silk middle coat. The man was so hot, so warm, like a brazier. Especially when he stretched out his arm, it just happened to be in my neck, then he put his arm around me, and pulled me into his arms. Although this is very warm, I feel very uncomfortable, especially after I slept for a while, I couldn't help: "Don't let your breath out on the back of my neck..."

He didn't speak, he continued to kiss the back of my neck and bit me like a puppy. I was bitten and itchy, so I couldn't help but push him: "Stop biting, I won't be able to sleep anymore." He still didn't say anything. I spoke, and then bit my ear. I was most afraid of the tickling at the base of my ear. I laughed so hard that my whole body went limp. He took the opportunity to pull my peas away, and I woke up in a hurry. "What are you doing?"

Li Chengyin bit me hard, I suddenly understood what he was going to do, and kicked him away with one kick: "Ah!"

This kick made him almost fall off the bed on his back. The curtain was all wrapped around his face. It took him a long time to lift the curtain wrapped around his face, and stared at me angrily and anxiously: "What's the matter with you?"

You want... that... that... go to Zhao Liangdi! "I don't want to be Zhao Liangdi's substitute, although I like Li Chengyin, I don't like him doing this kind of thing to me.

Li Chengyin suddenly chuckled: "So you are jealous." Li Chengyin suddenly chuckled: "So you are jealous." "Who is jealous?" I rolled my eyes, "You don't have to do it yourself." "Li Chengyin finally couldn't help correcting me: "It's self-indulgent!" I always make mistakes when I say idioms, but as soon as he corrects me, he is happy: "You know it's self-indulgent! Go to your Zhao Liangdi, or Xu Baolin, they all want you anyway!" "What about you? You don't want me?" "I have someone I like!" I suddenly felt a little sour in my heart, but the person I like doesn't like me, and I He still wants to be tough in front of him, "I don't want you. Who are you willing to go to? Even if you marry another ten or eight, such as Liangdi and Baolin, I don't care." Li Chengyin's face suddenly became ugly. Get up, I used to say Zhao Liangdi in front of him, and his face was not so ugly. After a while, he suddenly sneered: "Don't think I don't know anything, it's Pei Zhao!" I stared at him dumbfounded. "Don't forget your own identity, you are a married woman. Oh, I know, anyway, you people in Xiliang are corrupt, and you are not afraid of losing face. "I didn't expect him to know about me going out of the palace, and I didn't expect him to know about me and Pei Zhao drinking together. I was so embarrassed: "You married a woman and a woman yourself, I'm going out. Going around in the palace, I didn't do anything bad, and General Pei and I were innocent... "Li Cheng Yin smiled instead:" That is, with Pei Zhao's 10,000 courage, he would not dare to be innocent with you. He is about to marry Luoxi, the princess of our Celestial Dynasty, not like your Western Liang woman, she is... frivolous by nature!" The last four words completely angered me, I jumped up and slapped him, but he avoided too much Quick, so I just slapped him on the chin. I was so angry that my whole body trembled: "You hang out with those messy women all day long, I never said anything, and Pei Zhao and I have only had a few drinks, so why do you say that to me? What about our women in Xiliang? Now... You are just relying on your strength... If it wasn't for your father forcing my father and relatives back then, would my father marry me so far? If it wasn't for your bullying, would I marry you? We A man from Xiliang, which one is not better than you? Do you think I want to marry you? Do you think I miss this crown princess? The person I like is one thousand times ten thousand times stronger than you! Not a single strand of hair can compare to... "Li Chengyin was really angry. He didn't even wear a coat, and got out of bed angrily. He walked all the way to the door of the inner hall, then turned around and said to me, "Don't worry! I will never come again, just think about the person who is a thousand times ten thousand times stronger than me! "He was so angry, he didn't even wear boots and didn't know how he got back barefoot.
