At night, when Guan Yi returned to the courtyard exhausted, he heard the sound of broken porcelain coming from the room through the window, so he couldn't help but quicken his steps and pushed the door open and walked in.

"If there is a next time, you should know the consequences." Li Chengchen put a letter on the candle and lit it. The flame swallowed the paper and dyed it into ashes, and it fell to the ground lightly. His voice was faint but suffocating. feel.

Chu San's face was pale, and the hand holding the sword hilt tightened in response to the word yes. Chu Yi suffered a serious injury to his right arm, blood dripped down the night clothes and seeped into the cracks in the bluestone slabs, Xiao Songzi saw at a glance She greeted her as if seeing a life-saving straw, "Guan Yi, are you back?"

"First day of junior high school, how did you get hurt?" Guan Yi looked at Li Chengchen, who was standing with his hands behind his back, opened a drawer, took out the best gold sore medicine and white cotton cloth, leaned over to check his wound, "Xiao Songzi, go get a hot pot water come."

"it is good."

On the first day of the lunar new year, he withdrew his arm from her hand without saying a word, the blood dripping from his fingertips smeared on her white skirt, and bloomed blood flowers. Guan Yi stared at the blood-stained long sword not far away on the ground and said hesitantly: " Cheng Chen, he was injured like this on the first day of junior high school, can you let him get up first?"

"Get up."

She hurriedly helped Chu Yi to sit on the round stool, Xiao Songzi wrung a handkerchief in clear water to help him clean the blood on his arms, Chu San held his chest and stood up with difficulty, it seemed that the injury he suffered was no worse than that of Chu Yi Light, the room was quiet for a while, a little weird.

When the two of them were about to leave, the third grader whispered to her with a half-hearted smile: "Madam, if you come a little later, I think the life of the first grader and I will be gone. Thank you for your kindness."

"What did you do wrong?"

"Boss always only looks at the result and doesn't ask the reason. Regardless of right or wrong, we are used to living on the tip of the knife."

Guan Yi quietly moved back to the room. Li Chengchen was writing. When he raised his eyes to look at her, his dark eyes softened instantly, "Did I scare you again?"

She shook her head. Although she didn't know why the first and third grades offended him, she didn't know the whole story and was not involved, so she had no position to question his decision. It might not be that he would really kill them, "You Have your principles."

He put the Langhao brush on the inkstone, frowned slightly, raised her chin with his long fingers and gently stroked the bruise on her forehead, "How did you get hurt?"

"His Royal Highness taught me how to ride a horse, I accidentally ran into it."

He smiled and helped her apply a little medicinal wine and asked, "Is there any other injury?"

"It's all bruises, it's nothing wrong." I don't know if she is too stupid, or if His Highness the Crown Prince is deliberately punishing her, but she was going to ride a horse at the racecourse, and she was either scared out of her wits or thrown to the ground. .

Suddenly thinking of something, he tugged at his cuffs and said, "That young man from Situ's mansion is really good-looking, the one we ran into robbing lanterns at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival that day, his name is Situ... Situ Shuwen."

Li Chengchen took out the silver hairpin from her hair, untied her bun, and ran her fingers along her black hair in response. After a little thought, she broke her fingers and said, "Situ Shumo is the future crown princess of His Highness the Crown Prince. Situ Shuyu is the second prince's future concubine, and the second lady of Situ's family is Concubine Hui, so it's a bit wrong to calculate the seniority carefully."

"Madam Situ and the Empress Dowager have a good relationship, and they have made a marriage agreement with their fingertips." He put the silver hairpin on the desk and made a soft snap, "Although the Wei family is powerful and has no military power in hand, it is not enough to contain all parties in the court." A powerful force, the Situ Mansion can be reused right now."

"The emperor seems to like Concubine Hui very much."

"Well, I like it very much."

"But she seems to have a sweetheart."

Qin Xiruo, the second daughter of the concubine of the Situ Mansion, followed her mother's surname, and was brought up as a boy since she was a child. She and Bai Wei, a scholar of the Han Wenyuan, fell in love with each other. On the Lantern Festival in the sun, the two are a match made in heaven, but they are a pair of people.

"Don't mention this in the future."

She hastily covered her mouth with her hand, the walls have ears, and the palace said carefully, she seemed to have said something wrong again, if someone with a heart could hear her words, she might harm the entire Situ Mansion because of her words, after staying in Linghui Palace for so long , Why am I still so frizzy, I am really going to be mad at myself!

"Chengchen, do you want to write? I'll grind ink for you."

He reached out and touched her head and nodded, "Don't take Zhenshi as Mobin again."

"How long has it been? You still laugh at me." She glared at him dissatisfied, raised her hand to grind ink.

Under the candlelight, Li Chengchen was writing and dealing with the secret letters. Guan Yi was reading a book on the soft couch, and tried the temperature of the tea cup in his hand from time to time, and replaced it with warm tea at any time.

……

As the evening approached and the sky was overcast, Wei Linghui personally selected some hairpins, pearls, emeralds, silks, satins and spices, and sent someone to send them to Xiao Zhe's lucky little master as a reward.

The zigzag corridor of Zhaoyang Palace, white walls and black tiles, Xifu Begonias are just blooming, white magnolias are like snow, covered by a few green bamboos, it is quite quiet and unique. With a woman in Tsing Yi.

This girl is very strong, she is not afraid of falling when she climbs on the roof to see the scenery, not to mention that she pays attention to court rules and etiquette everywhere in the palace. This move is really capricious, but she likes it!

"I don't know why the girl came here?" When she came back to her senses, she saw a palace lady in blue clothes standing in front of her, who was exactly the same as her dress.

"I came here to present a reward to Concubine Hui at the order of Concubine Xi."

"Miss, thank you." She smiled at her and raised her head to the woman in green on the roof and said, "Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Xi has sent someone to give you a reward."

Guan Yi was dumbfounded as she turned around and jumped down from the roof, dropping a few white magnolias with her. Qin Xi's skin was smooth and fat, her brows were gentle, and her black hair was knotted in a knot behind her head. Single bun, with only two white magnolia hairpins on her hairpin, and plain light green plum blossoms embroidered on the green clothes, which is cold and refined, looked at her a few times and said: "We have seen it before."

"Slave Guan Yi sees Concubine Hui." She bowed and presented the carved wooden plate covered with red silk.

"Ma'am, please thank Concubine Xi for this palace." Qin Xiruo glanced at the tray, and Liu Yi took it respectfully, "There is no need to be formal, it is rare to meet old people in the palace."

"The Emperor is here."

"See Your Majesty."

"Get up!" Xiao Zhe held Qin Xiruo's hand and frowned, "Why are your hands so cold?"

"It's too stuffy in the room, so I went to the roof to blow some air."

Guan Yi took a few steps back and walked towards the main hall together with Li Chengchen, secretly cursing in his heart that Concubine Hui is really informal, and she answered this question straightforwardly, without any embarrassment of empresses in the palace.

He sneaked to his side and whispered: "I'm not on duty at night, I'll go back to the courtyard from Zhaoyang Palace in a while, do you have anything to eat at night?"

"Wait a while, I will go back with you."

"Okay." She rolled her eyes at him and smiled, then quickly moved away, standing aside respectfully and watching the maid put the dinner on the table one by one.

Xiao Zhe waved his hand, and Li Chengchen brought over a few plates of ordinary dishes, and then passed the chopsticks to Xiao Zhe's hands after trying the dishes.

Qin Xiruo said in astonishment: "This is..."

"Didn't you say that the dishes of Situ's Mansion suit your taste a few days ago? I asked the imperial chef to learn it for a few days. Do you have a taste?" Xiao Zhe put the bamboo shoots and shredded chicken into the small dish in front of her. plate.

After tasting it, she frowned slightly and smiled, "It's delicious."

Xiao Zhe carefully picked out the fishbone and smiled as he watched her eat, his eyes softened, "You should eat more if it tastes good, I see that your complexion is not very good."

Before Qin Xiruo entered the palace, Xiao Zhe went to Linghui Palace to eat the most times. The two of them ate their own meals in a friendly manner. Unlike her treatment of Cheng Chen, she couldn't help it when she saw his favorite dishes. Add some more to his bowl, and seeing him eat to his heart's content is even happier than eating it himself. Although most of them are controlled by appetite, she has to eat until she sees something delicious.

"Cheng Chen, there's nothing wrong here, you two don't have to wait here anymore."

"Yes."

It was completely dark outside the gate of the palace, and it was raining patter, the maid brought over two oil-paper umbrellas, she said Xie Ti skirted the umbrella and walked into the rain screen first, took a shortcut on the way back, few people walked , the dim yellow sheepskin lamp swayed with the wind, only the sound of crackling raindrops hitting the oiled paper umbrella.

She looked around and no one took the oil-paper umbrella, so Li Chengchen quickly reached out and used the oil-paper umbrella in his hand to protect her from the rain, "You ran fast just now, what's wrong now?"

The hair on his forehead was wet by the rain, and she saw that his expression was getting worse, as if he was smoothing the fur of a puppy, stroking his back and rubbing against his arms, "It's not good for you to serve me blatantly in the palace." Bar?"

He raised his eyebrows, "When will I not serve you?"

Hearing this, Guan Yi put his red-cheeked hands around his waist and said, "We must avoid suspicion in public."

"A distance of three feet."

"what?"

"Isn't it to avoid suspicion?"

A question made her speechless, isn't she right?Cheng Chen usually served the emperor personally, how could she have the guts to let him hold an umbrella for her under the eyes of everyone in the palace, and inexplicably charge her with the following crimes, will she still survive?With such a handsome husband by her side, she doesn't want to die now.

"Cheng Chen..." She casually threw the oil-paper umbrella out, hugged him and didn't let go, stretched out her hand to compare the distance of about three feet, since there was no umbrella anyway, so she couldn't let her go out to get wet in the rain!

The rain was getting heavier, and the low-lying places gradually began to accumulate water. Li Chengchen looked at the oil-paper umbrella she had thrown far away and stretched out his hand to push her away.

Guan Yi looked at him sadly, flattened his lips pitifully and said flatteringly: "Mr. Xiang..."

"I'll carry you back."

He handed the oil-paper umbrella to her hand and knelt down. She didn't react for a while, "No...it's not good...in case someone sees..."

"Since you're avoiding suspicion, don't go back tonight." Guan Yi obediently shut up without saying a word, and Li Chengchen picked her up lightly.

"I can walk by myself, how tired you are carrying me on your back!"

He tilted his head to look at the corners of her clothes that were splashed by the rain, and said to her semi-wet embroidered shoes, "It rains heavily, don't get your embroidered shoes wet."
