Fast time travels both ways

Chapter 87 I'm a Concubine 2
Headed by Su Baobao, the five members of the first palace stood under the eaves. There was already a foot of snow under their feet, and each step was a footprint. Opposite them, across the snow curtain, was a handsome young man who could vaguely be seen lying on the snow at his feet. He is embarrassed in the ground, but when there are people, he insists on maintaining his image and throws his head high.

Looking at the person in front of him, Su Baobao frowned and said, "You are wearing so little, aren't you cold?"

The boy was stiff all over, at this time Xiao Gaozi leaned close to Su Baobao's ear and said, "Master, that is the Ninth Prince."

The Ninth Prince Situ Zhan, whose mother and concubine were thrown into the cold palace a year ago for murdering Concubine Gao, has been disgusted by the emperor since then, but no matter what he is now, Su Baobao can't offend him. It's Longzi.

The confrontation between the two sides ended with the sound of Situ Zhan sneezing. Su Baobao showed an unspeakable expression and asked Situ Zhan to be invited into the room.

As soon as he entered the room, the heat swept his whole body. If he hadn't taken care of his face, Situ Zhan would have wanted to scream out comfortably, but he was arrogant by nature, so even if he felt comfortable, he would not speak out, and his chin was raised even higher.

Su Baobao has lived for so many years and still can't argue with him, so someone brought over the quilt and ginger soup.

Situ Zhan was pressed on the kang, with a quilt on his back, and a stove under his feet. At first Situ Zhan struggled, but he was not a fool. He felt warm and comfortable, and struggling again was just a faux pas.

It didn't take long for the ginger soup to be brought over. Situ Zhan held it in his hand and brought it to his mouth, and tried to take a sip. After eating the ginger soup, his whole stomach became hot, and the hot air rushed into his muscles and bones in an instant.

Eyes widened in surprise, Situ Zhan drank all the ginger soup in one go as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Why are you here?" Su Baobao asked suddenly, Situ Zhan choked on the sudden question, if he hadn't swallowed the last mouthful of ginger soup, he would have to spit it out.

Su Baobao's unfavored family background is also so-so. Of course, the palace assigned to her is the most remote one. The palace is not big. It's just a small courtyard without a name. It's rare for ordinary people to come here.

Situ Zhan wanted to take this matter to the past, but when he looked up, his eyes were all staring at him. Seeing that he couldn't escape, he broke the pot and said, "There is a family banquet in the palace today, I'm bored. I didn't want to go back to the bedroom, so I came here."

Looking at Situ Zhan like this, he knew that he wasn't telling the truth, but he could probably guess what was going on, his father didn't feel pain when his mother died, and there were so many brothers around him who were staring at him, how could life be easy.

After speaking, Situ Zhan kept looking at Su Baobao. Seeing that she didn't ask more questions, he felt a lot more relaxed. After rolling his eyes around, he said shyly, "Is there anything to eat?"

Accompanied by these words was the sound of his stomach gurgling. Seeing that everyone was staring at him inexplicably, Situ Zhan became furious and sternly yelled: "What can I eat at the banquet? I left hungry."

Su Baobao didn't ask any further questions, and asked Haitang to bring over the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes on the table and put Situ Zhan's stomach first.

Situ Zhan's eyes lit up when he saw the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and his eyes were fixed on the plate containing the sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Before Haitang put the plate on the table, he took a bite and fed it into his mouth.

After chewing a mouthful, his eyes opened wider, he swallowed a few mouthfuls and exclaimed, "It's delicious, it's even better than the ones made by the Imperial Dining Room."

Seeing Situ Zhan's majestic face, few palace people became more courageous, especially Haitang, who was very proud after hearing Situ Zhan's praise, and said without humility: "That's natural, it's my family's ancestral tradition." , there is no one in the world who can make cakes like me."

After giving Haitang a supercilious look, Situ Zhan secretly took another piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake. He didn't say whether he believed it or not, but felt that Haitang was too self-righteous.

Situ Zhan didn’t say that it’s hard to drive people away without Su Baobao, and he has to take good care of them. The snow outside stopped in the afternoon, and a thick layer had accumulated. Seeing that the time was almost up, Situ Zhan proposed I'm going back.

The whole day today was devoted to Situ Zhan, and Su Baobao didn't even say a word of politeness, and took the people from the palace out to see him off.

Seeing that Su Baobao didn't even make a pretense to keep him, Situ Zhan was so angry that he walked outside while glaring at Su Baobao, but Su Baobao didn't even look at Situ Zhan the whole time, and hit the cotton with his fist to make him even more angry.

As soon as he walked out of the house, the cold wind hit his face, Situ Zhan didn't hold back, and snatched the cotton coat from Xiao Gaozi's body.

It's too cold. Baby Su just wants Situ Zhan to leave as soon as possible. She doesn't want to stand in the cold wind all the time, so she said to Situ Zhan, "Then I won't stay any longer. See you later."

Originally, Situ Zhan wanted to go back quickly after being blown by the cold wind like this, but when Su Baobao said so mercilessly, he didn't want to leave again, and wanted to be arrogant, but what did he do after seeing Su Baobao's lips trembling from the cold? Mo Zao Ren couldn't speak any more words, so he pursed his lips and turned to leave.

When Situ Zhan walked away, Xiao Gaozi said with a trembling face and an accusation: "Master, my cotton coat has been worn away!"

Seeing this small appearance made everyone else laugh, Su Baobao comforted him and said, "Don't be so stingy, I'll just make you up again."

Only then did Xiao Gaozi smile through his tears, with such a small appearance, Su Baobao was so angry that he punched him with a fist.

It snowed for several days, and the weather was so severe that the emperor stopped the morning court, and the princes in the palace also suspended their classes and rested in their own palace.

Su Baobao leaned against the window and opened a small gap to look outside, the snow had already accumulated on his calf, and now he dared not even go out the door easily.

"If the snow keeps falling like this, I'm afraid something will happen." Su Baobao said worriedly.

"That's right, we don't have enough charcoal in the palace. The last time I asked the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they said that the nobles need much more charcoal now, and they didn't give us any more." Haitang said from the side, also worried, "In the past Let's save some money later."

Haitang and Su Baobao are obviously not concerned about the same thing, but the essence is still the same. After listening to Haitang's words, Su Baobao said: "In the future, save as much as you can. At least let's get through this winter first."

Haitang was very happy when her thoughts were recognized, and hurriedly went to discuss this matter, but after a while, she ran back again and hurriedly said: "Master, the Ninth Prince is here again."

The word "again" was used so vividly and concretely that Su Baobao didn't look very good-looking when she heard it. Although she had only entered the palace for less than a year, she also knew that it was best not to interact with the prince in the front hall.

But the person has already arrived, so it is impossible to ignore it, Su Baobao sighed and went out to greet him.
