Holding the beautifully carved wooden box I got from Thirteenth Ji, I sat on the steps in front of the gate separating the harem from the front with my skirt folded up, smiling with my head down.It was Lan Xue's gift from Thirteen Ji, the spice blue orchid he developed himself.

It turns out that he is Hua, the third younger brother of the Lan family's triplets Xue, Yue and Huazhong.Lan is Lan Xuena, Lan is Zhang Zelan, and Hua is him.

I specially sent spices to me again, and a small blue flower was painted on the bottom of the box to remind me of this.

Are we really friends now?

"Tired?" Huang Yi strode towards me, reaching out to help me up.

"No." I took his hand and said with a smile.

"..."

"What's wrong?"

"Is there anything to be happy about?" He breathed out annoyed.

I raised the wooden box, "The gift from Xue Na is blue orchids, and if you sell them, you can earn more money than the oranges that are worth thousands of dollars."

He helped me, who was wearing a long skirt, through the palace gate, and said in a low voice: "Go and see the warehouse after returning home."

"What?"

"full."

"..."

"Not happy?"

"Huang Yi, are you an idiot? Gifts are meant to be returned." I secretly thought, it's really good that Hua and the others don't get married.

Huang Yi tapped my forehead while there was no one around, "Idiot."

I smiled and rubbed my forehead, "This is good, I have a lot of things to do after returning home."

Organize the gift list, return the thank you gift, check the warehouse, and what's more, the manpower of the Kui Mansion also needs to be rearranged.Huang Yi's original concierge and two servants are really not enough to manage the expanded Kui Mansion.It's just that before that, I have to read the accounts of the Fuchu to avoid spending too much money.

There is another very important question--

"Huang Yi," on the afternoon of the first day of our wedding, when I came back from the palace and had dinner, I was sitting at the round table in the room, thinking about my abacus, and tried to ask in a nonchalant tone: "Your Where did the underwear come from?" Believe me, there is no underwear chain store in Caiyun Country, but there is no sewing room in the mansion, and the outerwear can barely be sewn by an embroidery shop... Could it be...he made it himself?When I was not in charge of the Guanfu, Feixiang made it myself, and I heard that I even stole it from a friend. It seems that Youshun and Fengzhu reported that they had tried the stolen underwear.

Huang Yi, who was sitting on the couch reading a book, heard my question, closed the book with a snap, and put it on the table.I touch my nose.I didn’t do anything wrong, don’t stare, life is daily necessities, rice, oil, salt and underwear, um, that’s right, it’s the right thing to sort things out quickly.

"..."

"Huang Yi?"

"Xiuzhuang, it should be." He raised his hand and rubbed his temples, "I used to come here by myself, but now the servants are busy, I don't know."

"It turns out that you are not a good person who knows how to live." I said honestly.

"Lan," he folded his arms and looked at me leisurely, "you can say it again if you have the ability."

I pretended not to hear what he said, and stood up, "I'm going to get the silver, I haven't bought the food for today."

"Go out to eat?" He stood up and frowned and put on my coat.

"...Then what did you let the people below eat?" There is no one in the mansion who is responsible for purchasing.

"They'll eat it themselves."

"..."

"What's your expression?" He said coldly.

I covered my face, "I just read the accounts of the mansion. To be honest, Huang Yi, don't you live in the mansion at all?" There is almost no daily expenses for Huang Yi.

"There is a rest room at Yushitai."

"..." Master Wang Ji, I finally understand why you are always worrying about Huang Yi's marriage, and always forcing Huang Yi to go on vacation.Is having a workaholic adopted child a happy misery?Everyone at Yushitai, thank you for your hard work.

He suddenly raised the corners of his mouth in a vicious way, "Are you worried that I won't go home?"

It's impossible to tease me to this extent.I smiled and replied: "Yes, I am very worried." I bowed to him pretendingly, "Master Husband, please remember to go home early, I look forward to it day and night." You are dying I'm becoming a widow.

Huang Yi also pretended to be entangled and I was in trouble.

I burst out laughing, and walked out around his arm, "Just kidding. Pay attention to your body, but you don't need to change your lifestyle too much. If you don't mind, you will be working late at Yushitai in the future I’ll bring you meals when you’re here? I’ll also help you prepare a change of clothes. Also, if the underwear has to be made by an embroidery shop, I’ll be laughed at if it gets out. Don’t worry, what I make is at least wearable. of."

He raised one eyebrow, "Are you still afraid of being made fun of?"

I shook my index finger, "Then you don't understand. Be good, I'll take care of the inner house. It's a pity that you still said that you are from a noble family, so don't tell me the inside knowledge."

"..." He looked unspeakable.

The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, "What's your expression?"

Huang Yi rubbed his forehead, "No, you can put this set away. Virtuous and virtuous, I don't like it, so forget it, I knew you were a troublesome guy early on."

"..." Is it because I have been acting too cruel all this time?

When shopping for vegetables, Huang Yi also helped to pick them out. In fact, he knew these things. Anyway, he lost his parents to take care of him when he was young──I don't believe that peak season knows how to take care of children.On the way, we met Hong Xiuli and Lang Yanqing who were truly virtuous and virtuous. Both of them stared at us with their mouths wide open.

"A stupid expression," Huang Yi said with a cold face, "I can send you some more after the work is done."

"Ah, no," Hong Xiuli, who has become a big girl, has a neat bun on her head that doesn't match her dress. She probably came to the vegetable market after changing clothes after work, "Zhang Hui Long... Aoi, Aoi..." She stuttered.

I smiled and said, "Red official?"

"Mrs. Lan." She blushed slightly and called out.

I smiled and reached into the bamboo basket to get three big apples, and handed them to her, "Please eat, please treat it as wedding candy." I handed another apple to Yanqing.

The bewildered Hong Xiuli finally returned to normal, "Mrs. Lan, Chief Kui, happy wedding! Mrs. Lan, you are really great."

Lang Yanqing also showed her white teeth and gave me a thumbs up, "Sister, you can do it."

"Hong Xiuli, Lang Yanqing, it seems that your jobs are indeed too idle." Huang Yi folded his arms, "Salary cut, disappear immediately, choose by yourself."

"Ahahahaha~" Hong Xiuli smirked and pulled Lang Yanqing to disappear quickly.

I endured and endured, and I still couldn't help laughing, "Hahahaha... Sure enough, Huang Yi is the one that is slow to sell. Hahahaha..."

"Would you be happy to marry a slow-moving product?"

"I'm a good person, and I don't ask much, as long as I find someone who is slower than me."

Huang Yi angrily dragged me back.In the evening, we sat on the edge of the bed for a long time.Slowly, he reached out and took my hand, warm body temperature came from the palm.I pursed my lips and leaned over to rest my head on his shoulder, his hands wrapped around mine.

"Go out for a walk?"

"Yeah." I nodded.

On the morning of the third day of my wedding, I greeted Licorice with dark circles under my eyes.Licorice started a general training with a straight face, I accepted it obediently, then tricked her to the warehouse, and we worked together to sort out the list of items.As for Huang Yi, he went back to Yushitai, and came back in the afternoon to accompany me to the Guanfu back door.

In the evening, when we were sitting upright by the bed for the third time, we exchanged a glance, dropped the curtains, and fell asleep in a real sense.Three days without sleep?It's not God, how could it be possible.Half asleep and half awake, Huang Yi hugged him, and I rubbed him, and then fell asleep together.I'm getting old, I can't stay up late, I can't stay up late.

Just one month after our embarrassing marriage, news came that You Shun was seriously ill.

I took the letter, lowered my head, sat on the couch, and asked softly, "When did it start?"

Huang Yi stood in front of the window with folded arms, "I felt something was wrong half a year ago. After Zi Liuhui regained the throne, You Shun said that his previous serious illness was a lie. This is actually a lie. Yan Shu," he raised Rubbing his forehead, "He noticed something wrong with You Shun earlier than I did."

The fact that he was seriously ill did not happen overnight, and he should have thought of it long ago.I sigh.

The night I received the news, Huang Yi and I went to the Zheng Mansion overnight. Huang Yi went to see You Shun first, and I sat in the living room with Chai Lin, who was holding a baby girl about [-] years old.I took the baby, although the baby's face is not so beautiful, but the eyes are very delicate, not afraid of strangers, the first time I held the baby did not cry, but always looking in the direction of her mother, green eyes dripping turn around.

I hugged the baby, sat on the chair with Chai Lin, and stretched out my hand to press the back of her hand.

Rin smiled slightly and stroked the child's head, "I know this day will come soon, since the first day I found out that I fell in love with my husband, I was mentally prepared that one day he would die like this In the blink of an eye, I have known my husband for more than ten years, but in retrospect, I still feel that time has passed too quickly."

"Rin, are you happy?" But after counting, they have only been married for a few years.

"How do you say it?" She tilted her head, "Although I'm an idiot, it's precisely because of happiness that I feel that time flies so fast."

Rin is the only one who will feel happy with this idiot number one scholar?I teased the child and said softly, "That's really great."

"Well, yes." She wiped the corners of her eyes, smiled and hugged the child, "Where is Sanniang, are you happy?"

I smiled and said nothing, Rin stretched out his hand clearly and held my hand.

After a while, Huang Yi came out and let me in.I folded my sleeves and walked to You Shun's bedside, he smiled at me.

"I'm really going to die."

"Didn't you lie?" I sat down on the chair by the bed.

"God knows."

I smiled and looked at the pale and thin You Shun, "Is it fun?" What a life you have.

"Normal." He said casually.

"Because of you, Li Shen hates His Majesty even more."

"Let him go."

I laughed, "Too much."

"He won't destroy Caiyun Kingdom. Although it will be a little troublesome, but Miss Xiuli and Hong Shao are here, so it's safe." After talking for a while, You Shun already seemed very tired. I was about to say goodbye. But Shun stopped me, "If you don't say it now, you won't have a chance. I will leave it to Your Majesty tomorrow."

"You Shun likes His Majesty very much."

"My lord doesn't care if I like him or not, but I really like him. Yan Qing is also a very good lord. Under his subordinates, I will gain the complete trust that a person like me must, but, including him, Everyone always says to rest when you are tired, and you can do it without me. But what should I do?" You Shun blinked, "I want to be unique and irreplaceable. Your Majesty said, it must be me."

I lowered my eyes and pulled my skirt, "I have always believed that I can survive without me. Let me tell you a secret," I smiled slightly, "There is another world outside Caiyun Country, but Lan Xian said , even he doesn’t know the way back.”

"That's right. In that case, will Miss Zelan know magic spells?"

"If I knew it, I wouldn't have had a headache when the Piao family came in. I'm a real ordinary person. Seriously, You Shun, are you really an ordinary person?" What a shocking talent.

"Unfortunately, isn't it dying? Ah, I want to ask you something."

"Okay, you ask."

"Do you think the history of the Daye Year is a bit strange? In some important battles and policies, someone always seems to have disappeared. Moreover, who recommended Miss Xiuli to enter the palace to be His Majesty's educator?"

"I know that." I laughed, "That's Taishi Xiao, Xiao Yaoxuan, the former prime minister, and the incarnation of Zixian. I don't know the details, I only know that they seem to have similar personalities. It’s bad, and there are some people who think it’s not fun and walk away.”

"I see. Your Majesty also feels that there is one person missing in the palace."

"...I heard that that person often gives bad ideas to His Majesty to pursue Miss Hong Xiuli."

You Shun laughed until he coughed, "Your Majesty's pursuit seems to be a little far away, even Huang Yi sees it as a joke. The officials protect Miss Xiuli from letting Your Majesty chase after her. Your Majesty complained directly to Yushitai, and Huang Yi also made a complaint." I don’t know, I just said “It still works”. I can’t see the end, Miss Xiuli, I will probably enter the harem at the end of my life.”

"The end of life?"

"Yes. I don't know the details, but it seems that due to physical problems, there are only eight years left."

I sighed secretly.God is jealous of talents.

"Ze Lan," You Shun patted the back of my hand lightly, "I know that you and Huang Yi will have a good life if you just leave it alone, but you said that, right? Is it because you are meddling in your own business? Sorry."

"No," I said softly, "You Shun's apology will be avoided."

"The last thing, Zeran wants to agree?"

"Yes, I understand, Mr. Zheng Youshun, who has no plans to leave anything behind."

"Zheng... Youshun?"

"Yes, what's the problem?" I tugged at the corner of my mouth.

"Yes, no problem. The wish when I went down the mountain came true in a way different from what I expected." His voice was very soft, and if he listened in a trance, it would disappear with the wind. "In the end, I pretended to be a good person."

"Yes," I bent down a little, and lightly held You Shun's bony hand with my backhand, "There is no way to change it, so you should be happy about this fact."

"Yes, I see." The smile on his face was as gentle as ever.

At noon on the second day, news came from the Zheng residence that Zheng Youshun had died of illness.He is not yet forty this year, and the child has just turned one year old.Huang Yi and I passed through Zheng's Mansion, and Rin took care of everything in order, but as expected, I still need to rest.She went to the room to accompany You Shun, I took the children, and Huang Yi took over the affairs of Zheng's residence.Zi Liuhui was also there, as if he had lost his soul, he hid in a dark corner by himself.I heard that he was the one who accompanied You Shun on the last journey.Will You Shun feel happy being sent off by the lord?

Not long after, Hong Xiuli also came.She sat quietly beside Zi Liuhui and lent him her shoulder to cry.

Staying by You Shun's side, no matter how strange a person is, he doesn't need to worry about being laughed at.Although it is because she is cruelly not caring about things other than her own wishes, it is precisely because of this that she can be gentle and not reject others according to the so-called "common sense".Well, it is true that he can be very cruel, but he has already settled the conclusion with gentleness, so there is nothing he can do.

After staying with Lin for seven days, You Shun was buried, Li Shen, Feng Zhu, Fei Xiang and Lai Junchen in Beijing sent off their friends, and I went back.Rin is also a heroine who can survive being "troubled" by her friends at her funeral, nothing...worrying about it.

Someone secretly drew circles on You Shun's face with a brush and said that it would protect the dead or something, so I just pretended not to know.

Huang Yi helped me into the carriage back to Kui Mansion, and then rode on the horse and turned to the mansion in peak season.He, You Shun and Yan Shu grew up together.Sitting in the carriage, I lowered my head and covered my face with tears.

Others must have bid farewell to You Shun with tears in unknown places.

Before getting out of the car, I wiped my face with a handkerchief, put on some makeup, and went back to Fuchu to make dinner for someone to send to Fuchu in peak season.Huang Yi and Yan Shu could just starve to death, but peak season is old, so it's not advisable to skip a meal casually.Huang Yi delivered the letter and returned. He will stay overnight in the peak season mansion tonight. He will go directly to court the next day and return to Kui mansion in the afternoon.I packed up my replacement clothes and belongings, and then asked the servant to make an extra trip to deliver them.

I lay on the empty bed, sleepless all night.

In the afternoon of the second day, Huang Yi came back with a slightly tired face.I went to prepare bath water and clothes, and after he took a bath, we held hands and went back to the room to sleep together.I looked sideways at Huang Yi's face.

We have reached the age where death is not surprising.

No, it really is just that You Shun died too early.

When Huang Yi fell asleep, I gently pulled his arm around me, quietly got up and put on the coat over the bed, walked to the already dark pavilion in the lake, and looked at the lake.It's just a small lake in the garden, so it's naturally calm and calm, but I don't know when it started, and there were waves in front of my eyes.

At the beginning, I didn't have a close relationship with him. When we met again in the turbulent Chazhou after a few years, we gradually became more friends.It's not the Zheng Youshun from "The Story of Caiyun Kingdom" in my impression at all.

The willful idiot who seemed to have decided when to die passed away with a satisfied expression.The sky in a dream that exhausts life and stretches out arms to reach.

Suddenly, my shoulder was pressed.I looked up and saw that it was Huang Yi.He sat down, I pursed my lips, and was about to raise my hand to clean my face and smile, but Huang Yi stretched out his hand to wrap his shoulders, and forced my head between his shoulder blades.I held the corner of my mouth, and then cried out loud.

Huang Yi kept hugging me and didn't let go.

Half a year later, Peak Season resigned due to illness, which once again eased the dispute between the two parties without Youshun's suppression and the weakened power of marriage.As the leader, it was not easy to get to the point where he calmly retired and the aristocrats did not rebel. This was also thanks to You Shun's delay of nearly three years after the rebellion as a buffer.Huiqi went to serve as the prefect of Huangzhou, Li Jiangyou and Lan Qiuying arrived there, and Jiang Wenzhong also returned to the court and became the governor of Zhongshu Province.

You Shun didn't die in the turbulent Chazhou that year, but there was no day when the nightmare national test team drank tea together under the tree.

One day, while I was hanging out my laundry, the concierge brought a letter.I put down what I was doing, opened it up, and it turned out that it was Yan Tian's son Wang Yanhu who sent a letter, saying that he was going to Beijing to prepare for the next year's national examination.He returned to Hongzhou to take the exam in August, and he has successfully passed the state exam

Then, the magpies flew to the branches of plum blossoms covered with thin snow, and it was the spring of the new year.
