Xiao Zhi and Lord Qin

On the morning of the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, there was no household minister.

Xu Shi fell badly the day before and caught a cold again. He took this leave directly until the New Year's Eve, followed by the court's regular [-]-day winter vacation, and he could only go to court after the Lantern Festival at the earliest.

The household department was already very busy with paying the accounts at the end of the year, and everyone was in a hurry when the Minister of the Ministry fell down. This year's accounts have not been sorted out yet.Now the emperor is suddenly looking forward to Mr. Qin, and they all dare not be lazy, so they can only go to their own Shangshufu to ask for various instructions every day, but this messy and more reasonable and more alarming account is afraid that everyone will not be able to rest in winter vacation.

The emperor issued a decree years ago to suspend the construction of all the palaces, and those palaces that were still looking for addresses but not yet completed were all cancelled.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry has been alone for the past few days, his expression is a little lonely, and it is difficult to see him speak a few words in the morning.

Every day when Xiaozhi goes down to the court, he will look more lonely than the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Except for the morning court, Mr. Qin is busy in his own mansion all day long.

Xiaozhi can only blame himself for being so useless that he can't help Mr. Qin in any way.

On the night of the New Year's Eve, all kinds of exquisite and gorgeous palace lanterns are scattered throughout the palace, weaving a dense red net, stringing up countless bright or dark caged lights, and the light and shadow layer upon layer. The chill of this winter night retreated.

As in previous years, the emperor arranged a New Year's banquet in the banquet hall, and the gathering of all officials was very lively.

The gorgeous sleeves of the dancers in the hall rolled up laughter and laughter, and the skirts were dyed with flickering candlelight, touching the light intertwined.

Xiao Zhi drank a lot of wine, and from time to time he looked for opportunities to peek at Mr. Qin, even if there was a short gap, he didn't let it go.

Lord Qin had a calm expression on his face, he watched the dance carefully and drank a few drinks, and occasionally looked back at the emperor, his expression did not change much.

Xiao Zhi felt that this dance was just so-so, not as good as Ah Zhi's dance back then.

But Mr. Qin is so pretty, the more you look at it, the better.

……

After the New Year's banquet, the emperor also prepared a night viewing of winter plum blossoms in the imperial garden and the must-have finale of the year - the fireworks display.

As soon as the emperor led a large group of people to the imperial garden, he met Concubine Hui who had been waiting for a long time.

In the plum garden of the Royal Garden, palace lanterns are connected one by one at this time, and the lights reflect the white snow, and the light is shining, which makes the originally icy and proud wintersweet dyed extremely beautiful and gorgeous.

Concubine Hui hugged the emperor's arm, leaned her head towards his chest, and murmured in a very low voice: "I have admired Lord Qin's name for a long time? Men and women are different. Why are you so close to Lord Qin? Why is there a lot of alcohol on your body?" taste?"

Xiao Zhi was held tightly by her, unable to get away, so he had no choice but to explain: "Look carefully, where else is there a woman besides you?"

After hearing this, Concubine Hui narrowed her eyes and pinched him severely: "Don't go too far."

The little one sighed helplessly.

Master Qin followed behind them, but he was very serious about watching the red, yellow and pink plants that complement each other perfectly.

Concubine Hui turned her head to take a look at Master Qin, but she saw a maid who was next to her standing in the distance looking anxiously.

Worried about what happened, she pinched the little one again and gave a silent warning before saluting and leaving.

As soon as Xiao Zhi watched Concubine Hui go away, when he turned around, he saw Master Qin looking at him, seemingly thoughtful.

The adults behind him dispersed as early as Concubine Hui appeared, and hid in groups of three or four in every corner of the imperial garden, sharing the latest gossip news.None of them wanted to stay with the emperor for a while longer. Now that the lord has a lot of troubles to deal with, they are not willing to make more troubles.

The cold wind hit his face, maybe it was drunk, but the little one didn't feel cold at all, he looked into Master Qin's eyes, and he grabbed Master Qin's hand with sudden courage, with an excited expression on his face: "I will bring Qin My lord, go to a good place to watch the fireworks."

Lord Qin didn't refuse, and let him lead him along the way.

The little one skilfully took the path out of the imperial garden, and then turned around many figures, walked for a while, and finally stopped at the corner of a turret: "Here we are." Master Qin's hand was covered with a thin layer of sweat.

At this moment, Lord Qin has more or less understood Xiao Zhi's feelings for him, and he does have a good impression of Xiao Zhi Xin, but this kind of feeling... is too unbelievable, and he still finds it difficult to accept, but he will guarantee himself as a The courtier will always be by Xiaozhi's side...
