Concubine Shu had nothing to do in the palace every day, but after a few days, the cloak was ready.
The day when Concubine Shu made her cloak happened to be the day before Xiao Nian.
After dinner that day, she sent someone to call Jun Huailang and asked him to go to the main hall to try on the cloak.
When Jun Huailang arrived at Mingluan Palace, he saw Concubine Shu and Jun Linghuan gathered together, surrounded by a few little palace maids, who were cutting window flowers together.
The one at the head is a raw face, and his facial features are not outstanding, he is clean, and his cheeks are particularly neat.
The maid was dressed more delicately than the other maids. She waited on Concubine Shu's side and handed her the red paper with scissors.
She didn't say a word, she didn't laugh much, but her movements were very quick.
"Lang'er is here?" Seeing him come in, Concubine Shu hurriedly asked him to get up, raised her head and instructed the palace maid. "Go and fetch the prince's cloak."
The palace maid was blessed, and then put down the things in her hand and went inside.
"This is—" Jun Huailang looked at her back.
Concubine Shu's subordinates did not stop, and while cutting the window grilles, she said lightly, "Ah, that's a palace maid sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, her name is Baiji. I originally said it was unnecessary, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that there was no one in my palace. , I have to make up for it. I didn't bother to argue with them, so I stayed."
She had a lack of interest, obviously she had not yet come out of the shadow of being betrayed by the big palace maid, and she didn't have a good impression of this new palace maid in charge.
Jun Huailang looked up and saw that Baiji had come back with a cape. It is made of white fox fur, with a thick fur collar, and the winding cloak behind it is made of Jiangnan brocade, which hangs down and looks smooth and comfortable.
Jun Huailang smiled and thanked Baiji: "Thank you Aunt Baiji."
Bai Ji saluted him, shook off the cloak, and waited for him to put it on. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Jun Huailang always felt that her movements were very neat, with a sense of style, like a person who practiced martial arts.
He took another look at Bai Ji, but saw her with her eyes down, expressionless, meticulous, and nothing unusual.
That's right, the maids in the palace are all serving people, so how can they practice martial arts
Jun Huailang put on the cape and went to the mirror to take a picture. His figure looks good in everything he wears, especially this white fur brocade, embroidered with dark lines with gold thread, from a distance, it looks particularly cool and noble.
"Aunt's craftsmanship has always been the best." Jun Huailang looked back in front of the mirror and said with a smile.
Sitting at the table, Concubine Shu snorted softly and said, "Why don't you say that?"
Jun Huailang asked again, "Didn't my aunt make two pieces? Why didn't you ask His Royal Highness to try it?"
When Concubine Shu heard the words, she was also stunned.
She didn't expect this to come out. Xue Yan only moved to her place this winter, and has nothing to do with her. Now that he has made a cape for him, it is already the limit of what Concubine Shu can do. She can never be in a hurry to be nice to anyone. It is his time to thank God for making a cape for Xue Yan.
Concubine Shu originally planned to stay until tomorrow and send someone to send it to Xue Yan.
Seeing Concubine Shu's expression, Jun Huailang knew that she hadn't thought of this at all.
He smiled, turned his head to look at Baiji, and said, "It was my aunt who forgot. I'll ask my aunt to go to the west hall and invite His Royal Highness to see if his cloak fits."
"Hey—" Concubine Shu hurriedly called him to a halt when she heard the words.
Jun Huailang turned his head to the side, saw that she was a little uncomfortable, cleared her throat, and said, "Just send it."
The child spoke little, but now he has become his own son. She didn't know how to talk to him at first, so if she asked her to try on the clothes she made, Concubine Shu always felt a little awkward.
It's like she really is someone's mother.
Jun Huailang smiled and said, "Aunt, this is the size I gave Your Highness. I don't know if it's too big or too small. If you don't let Your Highness try it, and if the cloak doesn't fit, His Highness will be embarrassed to go with you. talk."
When Concubine Shu heard the words, she could only say, "Then go ask."
Bai Ji heard the words, got the order, bowed and backed out.
Jun Huailang sat down beside Jun Linghuan and picked up the window grilles they had cut.
Concubine Shu is not very ingenious, but she can cut simple patterns. There are various patterns on the table, and they are spread out in bright red, which looks like a new year.
And Jun Linghuan's hand was a little miserable.
She only used scissors, and her hands couldn't hold it. The red paper is thin and fragile, and it will be cut if you are not careful.
All she had on hand at the moment was tattered red paper, a mess of scraps. Jun Huailang came in and she didn't care, she just pouted herself, and concentrated on competing with the scissors under her hands.
Jun Huailang couldn't help laughing at her appearance, so he sat next to her and watched her compete with the crooked little rabbit on her hand.
So, when Xue Yan walked in, he heard Concubine Shu's teasing.
"You only know Xiaoling Huan, if you have the ability, you can also cut one? This thing looks easy, but it's different."
Next to him, Jun Linghuan was also helping: "Brother to cut one!"
Jun Huailang couldn't stand the entanglement of the two girls, one big and one small, a pair of scissors was forcibly stuffed in his hand, with red paper and flowers, and he shook hands.
"Where can I? Don't make it hard for me, Aunt!"
He was provoked to laugh at the urging of the two of them. That clear and cold voice, when he laughed, was dyed with two points of lightness and tenderness, like a feather, scratching at the heart of the heart.
Xue Yan looked at Bai Ji, who was leading the way silently, and thought of what she had just said to him when she came in.
"Concubine Shu has a more arrogant temperament. His Highness has repeatedly requested that you go with me."
At that time, Xue Yan warned her coldly, telling her that since she had been assigned to Concubine Shu's palace, there was only one master, and she was not allowed to reveal any more information to her. But when he heard Jun Huailang's voice, Xue Yan couldn't help but recall Bai Ji's simple words.
He tried so hard to integrate himself into his family, and even gave Xue Yan an illusion.
He wants to give him his home, and he wants to let the homeless him have a place to return.
Xue Yan paused and followed Bai Ji all the way in.
Seeing Xue Yan coming, Concubine Shu looked up and greeted him without salute, and asked Bai Ji to bring the cloak to try on him. Jun Huailang was stuffed with something in his hand at the moment, so he couldn't care to raise his head, and was being urged by Jun Linghuan to cut the window grilles in front of the flowers.
Cutting window decorations has always required ingenuity and care. Jun Huailang had never done it before, and his subordinates were rather clumsy at the moment, and he had Jun Linghuan beside him to direct him.
He didn't even bother to look up at Xue Yan.
When he finally cut out the red paper in hand, he let out a breath and raised his head.
Then, he saw Xue Yan standing in front of the mirror with his back to him.
He was tall and had broad shoulders. The cape made by Concubine Shu was adorned with a large piece of dark red fox fur on the shoulders, and wore it on him, with the black brocade hanging loosely behind him.
He turned around, swept away the heavy cloak, and the fox fur made his sharp and delicate face quite noble, and taught him that the indifferent eyes gave him a feeling of being aloof and dominating the world.
Jun Huailang was in a trance, as if he saw Xue Yan in his previous life. At that time, under the corridor of Yonghe Palace, he also wore a scarlet dark velvet cloak, adorned with the cold armor. He hurried past him, glanced coldly, and turned his eyes away.
Just thinking about that glance made Jun Huailang's heart go cold.
But then, he met those amber eyes.
Indifferent and quiet, there is still no warmth, but it does not have the bloody aura of the cold and cruelty of the previous life.
Jun Huailang's heart calmed down again inexplicably.
It's not that life anymore. he thought.
At this moment, he heard Xue Yan ask: "It looks good?"
The voice was low and quiet, sounding emotionless. In winter, the clothes were thick and covered by hair, so Jun Huailang naturally didn't see it, and Xue Yan's ears were already red.
Only then did he come back to his senses, and he actually stared at Xue Yan for a long time.
He was a little embarrassed, smiled at Xue Yan, and did not begrudge his praise: "It's pretty."
Xue Yan's ears turned red again under the cover of his hair.
Beside her, Concubine Shu was also very satisfied. This child is particularly good-looking and has a good figure. Wearing such a graceful and luxurious cloak on him, not only does it not seem overwhelming, on the contrary, it shows the gorgeousness.
Concubine Shu has always liked beautiful things.
She nodded with satisfaction, and praised in a rare way: "It's just right to wear it, and it doesn't live up to the craftsmanship of this palace at all."
Jun Huailang smiled and praised her again.
Xue Yan took off the cloak again. Seeing that it was getting late, Concubine Shu packed up a bunch of things and greeted them to go back.
The pile of paper-cuts on the table were all cut by Concubine Shu and Jun Linghuan. Now, like two children, they divided the paper-cuts cleanly.
And over there, Xue Yan had already said goodbye and walked out with the cloak.
Jun Huailang looked at the bright red spot on the table, then raised his eyes and glanced at the back of Xue Yan quietly leaving, and suddenly thought that there were no window decals in Xue Yan's place.
He was still holding the one he had just cut in his hand, and he had not yet unfolded it, so he didn't know what it was cutting.
Jun Huailang didn't care so much, so he said goodbye to Concubine Shu, holding the cloak in one hand and the window grille in his hand, and chased out.
Mingluan Palace is so lively today, can't only Xue Yan's window be empty tomorrow
He chased half of the corridor before he caught up with Xue Yan.
"His Royal Highness!" He stopped him from behind.
Xue Yan stood still, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Jun Huailang, holding the furry cloak in one hand, chasing him from behind.
The room was warm just now, but it suddenly froze, causing Jun Huailang's cheeks to turn a little red.
He followed up, panting a little, but with a warm smile on his face, looking like a bright moonlight.
"Aunt Cai is cutting the window grilles there." Jun Huailang said, handing the one in his hand to Xue Yan. "I cut this one and gave it to Your Highness. Tomorrow will be the New Year's Eve. If you stick it on the window, it can be considered a lucky draw to avoid evil spirits."
Under the lamp, a neatly folded piece of paper-cut was held between clean and white fingers.
Xue Yan reached out and took it.
Seeing that he accepted it, Jun Huailang said with a smile, "Then I'll go back?"
Xue Yan nodded and said thank you after a while.
Jun Huailang gave something, nodded at him, and turned back.
It was not until his back entered the door of the east side hall that Xue Yan retracted his eyes and set his eyes on the piece of paper-cut in his hand.
He carefully unfolded the piece of red paper.
The dim palace lanterns illuminated the red paper, revealing a crooked little rabbit.
