On New Year's Eve, the wind was cold and the snow was falling.

In the courtyard outside the palace, Shen Lingyue pasted up window grilles early on, and hung festive lanterns inside and outside the house. In addition to preparing sumptuous meals for the New Year's Eve, in order to take care of Zhang Heng's habits, he made people steam New Year Bean Cake unique to Jiangnan during Chinese New Year.

Seeing Shen Lingyue busy preparing for the New Year, Zhang Heng couldn't help showing a rare smile on his face. In his memory, the New Year's Eve is always the most difficult time. When he was a child, he lived under the fence, and his uncle and aunt always treated him coldly and sometimes scolded him. It was very unpleasant to hear, and I had to go to the woodshed to sleep, so as not to hear harsh words, the days when other people's family reunion was very difficult for me.Later, when he entered the palace, he was deeply excluded, and sometimes he couldn't even eat a New Year's Eve dinner.Later, every Chinese New Year, some palace people were on duty, and some were taken back by their families to celebrate the New Year. Only myself, silently guarding the Jinglan Courtyard, was lonely and desolate.

Now, someone finally accompanied me to celebrate the new year, and kept the new year together with me. The interior and exterior of the house were completely refurbished, with a strong flavor of the new year, as if everything had become brighter, even the cold wind outside seemed to be mixed with Warmth.

When the food was ready, Shen Lingyue poured Zhang Heng a glass of sweet wine. After the wine was warmed, it tasted mellow and would not hurt the stomach.

Looking at Shen Lingyue's charming and lovely smile, Zhang Heng's heart was already more than half sweetened before he tasted the aroma of the wine.

After pouring the wine, Shen Lingyue, who was busy serving food for Zhang Heng, was embraced by Zhang Heng.

Caressing Shen Lingyue's delicate and charming face, Zhang Heng only felt that God treated him kindly after all, and arranged for such a lovely person to be by his side.

Everything is luck, if it wasn't for the vassal chaos, the situation changed, the girl from the Shen family wouldn't have anything to do with him.However, how wonderful it would be if she wasn't the daughter of the Shen family, if she didn't have those past events and all the chaos.

Shen Lingyue, who didn't know what Zhang Heng was thinking, stretched out her hand to lightly touch his frowning brows, and said mischievously: "In New Year's Eve, I will give you the New Year's money."

Zhang Heng smiled, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Then how much lucky money are you going to give me?"

Shen Lingyue looked at the cunning Zhang Heng coquettishly, blinked and replied: "Let me listen to some auspicious words, and if I am happy to hear them, I will reward you a little more."

"Auspicious words, right? I wish myself good luck, longevity and health..."

Before Zhang Heng finished speaking, Shen Lingyue began to tickle him feigning anger.Zhang Heng smiled and held her in his arms again.

According to the practice of the Great Zhou Kingdom, three days after the new year, civil and military officials will bring their families into the palace to congratulate the emperor on the new year, and the emperor will also host a banquet to entertain him.

On a chilly morning, Zhang Heng, who was about to enter the palace as an errand, got up, and tucked Shen Lingyue under the quilt.

Shen Lingyue also woke up, and when she was about to get up, she only heard Zhang Heng say: "It's still early, you should sleep a little longer."

Shen Lingyue shook her head: "I'll go into the palace with you, and go to pay New Year's greetings to my aunt."

Zhang Heng nodded, and then went outside the house to make some arrangements.

After everything was packed, Shen Lingyue followed Zhang Heng into the carriage.Zhang Heng asked people to prepare an annual gift for Concubine Hui, and delivered it to the carriage in advance.Shen Lingyue was grateful for Zhang Heng's thoughtfulness and carefulness.

When they came to the gate of the palace, several carriages had already parked outside the palace.

After Zhang Heng got off the car, the ministers of the DPRK and China who arrived at the same time came over to greet each other and congratulate each other on the New Year.

In one of the carriages, Wu Siyuan lifted the curtain and saw Shen Lingyue getting off Zhang Heng's carriage not far away, and his face immediately turned ugly.

It was still early at this time, she and Zhang Heng came from outside the palace in the same car, the implication couldn't be more obvious, she was already living with Zhang Heng.

What is even more irritating is that Wu Siyuan saw that when Zhang Heng turned his head to look at her, Shen Lingyue's eyes were full of smiles. Those clear eyes and gentle smile pierced him like a sharp sword. heart.

Wu Siyuan couldn't figure it out no matter what, how could a daughter of an aristocratic family willingly get entangled with an eunuch? It was the decline of the Shen family, and she fell in love with the power in Zhang Heng's hands?Or did Zhang Heng use his position to force her to submit?Seeing Shen Lingyue's full of joy, and the way she looked up at Zhang Heng intently, Wu Siyuan felt more and more heartbroken.The lovely, lovely and charming girl in my memory now looks more and more disgusting. In order to cling to power, she deliberately panders to an eunuch, even at the expense of her own innocence.

The cold wind in the capital was blowing more and more fiercely. Concubine Hui suffered from the cold, and her whole body became thinner and thinner. Even the festive atmosphere of the Chinese New Year did not make her complexion any better.

Shen Lingyue took the generous gift prepared by Zhang Heng's messenger, and carefully accompanied Concubine Hui for a whole morning, serving her medicine and chatting with her to relieve her boredom.

At noon, after taking care of Concubine Hui for lunch, Shen Lingyue walked towards the banquet hall.After the palace banquet is over, I can go back to the house outside the palace with Zhang Heng.

Because Shen Lingyue didn't like the atmosphere in the palace, she thought that she could live outside for a long time, which would make her feel more comfortable. Zhang Heng also complied with her and agreed to live with her in a private house outside the palace. He usually goes to and from the palace by himself. outside the palace.

Just as Shen Lingyue was walking, she suddenly found Su Jinhan, who was out of her mind, walking towards her.When Su Jinhan approached, Shen Lingyue patted her on the shoulder.Su Jinhan was obviously taken aback.

"What's the matter? You look lost." Shen Lingyue asked puzzled.

Seeing Shen Lingyue, Su Jinhan said with an extremely painful expression: "Lingyue, I'm sorry for you..."

Seeing Su Jinhan's expression on the verge of crying, Shen Lingyue was even more puzzled: "Why are you sorry for me? What happened?"

Afterwards, Su Jinhan took Shen Lingyue to a secluded place, and said in a low voice: "Just now at the palace banquet, the emperor gave me a special dish made by the palace. In the whole banquet hall, I was the only one who was rewarded." gone."

"This is a strange thing. Why did the emperor suddenly notice you? Did the emperor start to pay attention to you when you yelled in the palace?" Shen Lingyue asked with doubts.

Su Jinhan shook his head: "I don't know either, after the banquet, the emperor called me into the side hall..."

"Then what did he say?" Shen Lingyue became more and more curious.

"He didn't say anything, he just asked me a few homely words and my usual preferences. But I always feel a little strange."

Shen Lingyue nodded: "It's really a bit strange. The emperor is usually very busy, why would he ask you these things for no reason." Immediately, Shen Lingyue suddenly asked: "Did the emperor take a fancy to you?"

Su Jinhan widened his eyes and said, "I'm not sure either. However, there are so many beauties in the emperor's harem, each more dignified and beautiful than the other, so it's not my turn. Besides, I never planned to enter the palace."

"You are beautiful in itself, but you just don't know it. However, I understand your feeling that you don't want to enter the palace." Shen Lingyue deeply felt that the palace was too oppressive, and there were so many concubines and beauties around the emperor. Good candidate.

"Lingyue, you like the emperor so much, and I don't want to enter the palace. If this is true, I really feel sorry for you..."

Before Su Jinhan finished speaking, Shen Lingyue interrupted quickly: "Don't talk nonsense, who said I like the emperor?"

Su Jinhan was taken aback after hearing this: "At the previous palace banquet, didn't you say that you understood the feeling of liking someone in your heart but being unable to be with him justifiably? At that time, I saw you looking at the emperor affectionately... ..."

Shen Lingyue felt quite helpless, she was obviously looking at Zhang Heng who was beside the emperor, okay?

Seeing that there was no one around, Shen Lingyue quickly said: "Jin Han, the person I like is not the emperor."

"Who is that?" Su Jinhan became curious for a moment, and he didn't even care about his own situation.

After hesitating for a while, Shen Lingyue lowered her head and said shyly: "The person I like is Mr. Zhang who is beside the emperor..."

Before Shen Lingyue could finish speaking, Su Jinhan was so surprised that he almost couldn't stand still. After leaning on the wall to gather his mind, he hurriedly asked: "Are you talking about Mr. Zhang Heng, the supervisor of rituals?"

Shen Lingyue nodded. At this moment, Su Jinhan was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear: "Why do you like him? What's so good about him?" Su Jinhan couldn't understand that the beautiful and delicate Shen Lingyue actually I would like an eunuch, but compared to him, I might as well like the emperor.

"He's good everywhere." As soon as Zhang Heng was mentioned, a sweet smile appeared on Shen Lingyue's face involuntarily, and then, Shen Lingyue briefly told her about the history of her relationship with Zhang Heng.

Seeing Shen Lingyue's intoxicated and unable to extricate herself, Su Jinhan really felt what it means to see beauty in the eye of the beholder.

"But, don't you mind his identity? You are a girl from the Shen family, a century-old family." Su Jinhan was still full of doubts, Shen Lingyue's choice was really unexpected.

"Don't talk about the current situation of the Shen family. Even in the good old days, I wouldn't care about it. I like him and am willing to be with him." Shen Lingyue's expression was extremely firm.

"Even if you don't care about his identity, I heard that he is a moody and extreme person..." Before Su Jinhan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Lingyue shaking his head.

Su Jinhan turned his head, only to see the moody and extreme Zhang Heng walking over.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang..." Su Jinhan was not so nervous even seeing the emperor. She always felt that Zhang Heng was too serious and indifferent, and she had heard many rumors about his sinister and vicious, so when she saw him, she immediately Immediately a little timid.

Zhang Heng said nothing, just nodded slightly, and then turned his gaze to Shen Lingyue.

Su Jinhan was very knowledgeable about current affairs and saw the situation clearly. He knew that Zhang Heng was looking for Shen Lingyue, so he silently mouthed to Shen Lingyue, and quietly retreated.

On the carriage back, Shen Lingyue asked about Su Jinhan and the emperor. Zhang Heng had been with the emperor for many years, so he should know what the emperor really meant.

Zhang Heng smiled: "Didn't she say she wanted to climb higher branches last time? There is no higher branch than the emperor in the world, right?"

"She always likes to joke, she didn't really mean that," Shen Lingyue said hastily, "Besides, I understand her temperament, and she doesn't want to enter the palace."

"I'm afraid I can't help her." Zhang Heng said indifferently.
