night snow full of clear branches

"Ah-cut!" The two sneezes made my hair fly wildly.

Xiao Luo brought a bowl of warm white fungus soup, "I told you not to go out in the rain yesterday, if you didn't listen, you've got a cold now."

I took the soup and retorted: "Isn't it just two sneezes? Someone is thinking about me."

"Who misses you?" Xiao Luo didn't seem to believe it. I was about to answer, but I heard a message from the maid outside, saying that someone from the palace was looking for me.

Palace?Could it be Wei Xue looking for me?I hurriedly straightened my hair and followed the maid out, and went to the front hall to see that Wei Yu was sitting by the side.

"What's the matter?" Come early in the morning.

"Tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony. There are some things I need to explain to you. I wanted to tell you yesterday, but you didn't return last night."

As soon as I snapped my fingers, I realized that the seven days passed so quickly, and tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony.

"I'll go back right now, and you can tell me slowly when you arrive."

Wei Yu didn't explain many things, just let me remember where Wei Xue will go from tomorrow, and I will stand at the place closest to her and never leave her.

"Then I'm leaving, you should rest early." Wei Yu closed the door and went out, I saw a figure of Pingting walking outside the door, and Wei Yu followed, it should be Wei Xue who came back.

Before taking two steps, the figure stopped and turned his head to my room, and I opened the door just in time to meet Wei Xue's gaze.

"If you haven't slept, come and sit down."

"Okay." The atmosphere is very good, and it has been a long time since I have spoken so peacefully.

As soon as she sat down, Wei Xue said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, where have you been fooling around?"

"This is not fooling around." It is true that the originally good atmosphere was spoiled a little by this question.

"It's not fooling around, what is that?"

"Yes..." I couldn't find anything to answer for a while, and I was really just playing around these days, not fooling around, but playing?I suddenly feel that there is not much difference between the two...

Wei Xue pursed her lips and smiled: "It's okay, anyway, you can't fool around from tomorrow on."

"Are you taking pleasure in other's misfortune?" A fool can also hear it.

"Yeah, I'd be jealous if you were as easy as you used to be."

"Your Highness, you have lost your benevolence." I suddenly felt like a courtier admonishing me, hoping that the Lord would be lenient.

Wei Xue, who was still smiling slightly, suddenly became sharp, "This is not what you should say." Junjun, Chenchen, I am too presumptuous.

"Damn me, drag me out and chop me up."

"Hey, no, how could it be chopped off?" Wei Xue shook her index finger, "It should be beaten to death with a stick."

...still so ruthless.

"Is there any chance of redemption? I haven't lived enough and I don't want to die." If there is, I have to hurry up and flatter.

Wei Xue suddenly hooked my chin with her index finger, and said half-truthfully, "If you are obedient, I won't let you die too early."

This posture is very similar to my movement of teasing Su Yanshi, I quickly turned my head, "Then I can only ask for luck." Because I couldn't figure it out, I couldn't completely believe anything Wei Xue said from the beginning to the end.

"Begging yourself? Why don't you beg me." Her aura of being my lord came out again.

"Then I beg you, drive me out of the palace."

"I don't, I just want to see you aggrieved and bored to be happy."

You usually look very mature, why suddenly talk like a child?I stopped talking, and looked at her coldly, wishing I could rush over and pinch her neck.

Later, I didn't know what to talk about, and I was a little sleepy, so Weixue asked me to go back to sleep. When I walked to the door, as if I remembered something, I turned around and called: "Weixue."

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, just call it when you think of it, and you can't call it anymore." In fact, I don't regret it.

"From now on, there is no one in private, you can still call." Wei Xue's voice was soft, as if she had changed suddenly.

I didn't look back, just waved my hands, "That's all."

At night, I had a dream. After Wei Xue ascended the throne, she took out a human head from the box containing the jade seal, and was about to seal it. I was so scared that I woke up directly, and suddenly felt the wind blowing outside the window.

"The concubine mother said that anyone who sits in that position will change." Recalling what Si Yong said, she suddenly couldn't bear to go to sleep, fearing that when she woke up the next day, everything would change.

The enthronement ceremony didn't take long, at least it was shorter than I imagined, and of course it was also in the name of the former emperor's filial piety.

I kept my eyes on the moving skirts on the steps, and followed them up.As the moving footsteps stopped, I heard the sound of three shouts of long live, like overwhelming mountains and seas. I heard the sound and looked around, and the subjects around me were in harmony.

In less than two days since she ascended the throne, a large number of people have been canonized and relegated, and Wei Yu has also become an imperial lady, with the same rank as me. This should be a reward for her loyalty over the years.

In this way, I feel that I am worthy of it.

Concubine Min continued to stay in the palace, but as a concubine for the elderly.She once asked me to help Weixue to leave the palace secretly and return to Fuyu Mountain Villa for a long time, but Weixue refused with the reason of "incompatible with etiquette". I think she is probably tired of the palace.

Half a month later, the number of eunuchs in the palace was reduced by half, except for the father-in-law who served the concubine, the rest were sent out of the palace by Wei Xue's decree.

I secretly asked Wei Yu, "The emperor sent all the eunuchs out of the palace, is he planning to recruit a group of palace men?" I invented the term palace men, which never existed in the previous dynasty.

"You'd better forget this, and be careful of your tongue being cut off." Wei Yu solemnly warned me, which made me start to speculate on Wei Xue's intentions even more.

Qing Tianjian told me that although the female emperors before Xuan Kingdom had more or less male favorites, the overall system in the palace remained unchanged.

Male favorite?With nothing else to do, I began to fantasize about Wei Xue hugging countless handsome men, and the more I thought about it, the weirder it became.

"Qing Zhi, what are you thinking?" Wei Xue, who was critiquing papers, suddenly asked in a deep voice.

"Go back to the emperor, it's all right." If you knew that I was thinking about your male favor, wouldn't you tear me up?

"If you have something to say, you must talk about it." She seemed to be very concerned about me, but I really can't talk about it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, I will keep this in mind."

Although I escaped from Wei Xue's questioning, my mind has been thinking about this important matter, what kind of male pets will Wei Xue find?

In fact, when I mentioned the word male pet, the first thing I thought of was Su Yan.This guy is thin-skinned, tender-skinned, charming and affectionate, he is the most suitable, but he only likes men.

Today, I happened to see a handsome young man who came to see him. I didn't know why he came, so I watched him for a while, wondering if he might be the male favorite that Wei Xue was looking for.

I am already familiar with most of the ministers in Beijing, but I have never seen this young man, and seeing that he is so clean, he does not look like someone in the officialdom, so I am even more fanciful.

Young Master Qingxiu stayed in the study for a long time, not knowing what he and Wei Xue were doing, and wasted the whole afternoon.

When this young man came out, I took a few more glances, um, he is a good-looking talent, but he couldn't match Wei Xue's noble and indifferent demeanor.

"Qingzhi, do you like him very much?" At some point, Wei Xue suddenly appeared beside her, looking at the direction in which the young master left.

"Nothing." This is a big misunderstanding.

She smiled slightly and said, "If you like it, just tell me."

"Really not, your majesty, you have to trust me!" I thought to myself, if you also fell in love with him, wouldn't I be hitting the knife's edge.

"Look how nervous you are."

"But having said that, who is that son?" I still decided to ask boldly, because of my long-standing curiosity.

"I also said that you don't like it, so I started to inquire about it." Wei Xue looked a little contemptuous of me.

"This... Your Majesty, you misunderstood, I just asked casually."

Weixue looked at me, then looked into the distance and said, "He is Qingtianjian's favorite student, and he is very likely to become the next Qingtianjian."

Originally, he wanted to ask his surname and what he was doing, but he was afraid that Wei Xue would misunderstand him again, so he simply kept silent.

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat." The maid came to remind.Wei Xue nodded, and glanced at me, "Qing Zhi should come too."

"The humble minister obeys the order." In fact, I really don't want to obey.

After sitting down, the dishes began to come out one after another, Wei Xue suddenly said: "Before I didn't see you every meal time, but you went to Concubine Min's?"

"I only go occasionally, and more often I eat with Wei Yu." Every day, I can only eat and sleep freely, and the rest of the time must be guarded not far from Weixue. Thinking about it, I am also pitiful.

"From then on, stay with me." He told the maids to prepare an extra set of bowls and chopsticks.

The maid took the order, and my scalp froze again. "Your Majesty, this is not in line with etiquette." Being out of line with etiquette is Wei Xue's usual excuse, and now I am using it too.

Wei Xue smiled, a little slyly. "I say it's fine."

Look, how domineering our sage is.

"The humble minister has no choice but to be respectful rather than obedient." I really don't want to obey.

"Eat."

I moved my chopsticks lazily, thinking that I would not be able to joke with Xiao Yu in the future, so I would inevitably feel a little disappointed.

Weixue was very perceptive and noticed my loss, "Why, the food isn't delicious?"

"No, it's delicious." I quickly picked up the vegetables in front of me and stuffed them into my mouth.

"I remember that you like meat very much. Back then, you went out to eat duck in the middle of the night against orders."

Looking at the vegetables in front of me, I smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you have a really good memory." Then I casually moved my chopsticks to the duck next to me.

"It's not good, but I have an impression of every word you said." Wei Xue said.

"Haha, this is delicious." Speaking of which, I suddenly wanted to eat the duck meat made by the farmer near the imperial mausoleum. Although it was not as delicate and delicious as the one in the palace, it was very comfortable to eat.

"Like duck so much? Then prepare it every day from now on." Wei Xue suddenly became very concerned about my diet, which made me very uncomfortable.

"No need, no need, I'll still get tired of eating every day." I didn't even bother to thank the emperor for his concern, it was such a terrible meal.

When I told Xiaoyu that I couldn't have dinner with her in the future, Xiaoyu wasn't as disappointed as I was. "The emperor must be bored eating alone every day, so I got you."

"That's right, but why didn't she call you?" Maybe it was because I happened to be right in front of her at the time.

"Don't speculate on this." Wei Yu began to talk about the rules again.
