Deep ice

This winter seems to be extraordinarily cold.

Huai Huai put his hands into his cotton sleeves, stood in the snow with his neck hunched, sniffling.

The sky was gray and looked like it was going to snow again.

The creaking sound of stepping on the snow was getting closer, Huai Huai turned his head and saw You Gongzheng coming towards this side.

Eunuch You's face was tense, and he said in a thin voice: "Ancestor, our family has found you, what are you doing so stupidly, why don't you go back quickly, in this deep palace, are we just running around..."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out a pair of dry hands to pull Huaihuai.

Huai Huai took two steps back and almost fell into the snow, "When I go back to the house, there is a dead man, it's so boring to stay with him all day."

Eunuch You took two steps, grabbed the Huaihuai cotton sleeve and pulled it towards one place,

The mean eyes were full of sarcasm, "You are not a child of six or seven years old, you are as strong as a cow and you are so playful, come back with our house."

Huaihuai had great strength, and with a sudden struggle, he ran in the opposite direction.

The old eunuch stomped anxiously, followed behind with his buttocks in between, "Ancestor! Come back!"

The vermilion and blue tiles stretch endlessly.

Huaihuai shook off his arms and ran along the scarlet city wall for a while.

The yelling behind him became farther and farther away, and it didn't take long before it sank into the deep silence of the palace without making any sound.

Huaihuai slowed down his pace, staring at the open space in front of him, and smoked white air from his nostrils.

The blush of the trees, from the ice and snow, is like a half-day red glow, which is particularly shocking.

The westerly wind howled, and the tree turned red, and the petals were like raindrops, hitting Huaihuai's face and body.

Huai Huai gasped heavily, his lips were purple from the cold, but he raised his head indifferently,

His eyes widened, staring at the sky full of red, his heart seemed to be swallowed.

I always feel that this scene looks familiar.

But I can't remember it anyway.

There is a layer of frozen ice crystals on the eyelashes, warmed by Kazakhstan's air, it turns into water, dripping on the cheeks, like teardrops.

But it was cold.

A group of people came from a distance, carrying a hood, a dozen eunuchs and maids shrank their necks, and followed behind like a tortoise.

A pearly white hand raised the cotton curtain, revealing a woman's head.

The woman's face was covered with a thick layer of makeup, her face was bloodless, her peach blossom eyes were red and swollen, she stared at the man standing under the plum blossoms in the distance, and frowned fiercely.

"Spider-"

The sharp-faced palace maid next to the sedan chair hurriedly responded, "Your Majesty."

"Go there and have a look."

The pointed-faced palace maid replied in a low voice: "Yes, empress."

After finishing speaking, he walked a few steps quickly, nudged the eunuch in charge of the sedan chair in front, squinted at the front, and said in a very low voice, "See, the empress is going to see that foolish boy."

It is said that this concubine Xi just cried a lot at the emperor's side because of her father's dismissal and investigation, and she was shut down. She is not just unhappy, but has nowhere to vent her anger.

The chief eunuch grinned, revealing a mouthful of rotten teeth, "Come on, we'll have a good show today."

The pointed-faced palace maid gave a sinister smile and said nothing.

Dozens of people turned around and approached the plum garden slowly.

Huaihuai was fascinated by the sight of Hongmei, he didn't know that he was about to suffer a catastrophe, he just felt his hands were cold, he just wanted to put them into his sleeves to warm them, but suddenly he backed up and fell to his knees.

That hand was in the snow water, icy cold.

The voice above his head was strange, "Bold slave, you still don't kneel down after seeing Concubine Xi!"

Huaihuai turned his head and saw the talking father-in-law's face was pale and his lips were bright red, as if he had put on rouge.

"What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and kowtow!"

When Huaihuai heard this, he raised his neck and said casually, "...Fart... I don't kowtow when I see the prince, I just ride up."

Several court ladies looked at each other, then laughed to themselves,

"Listen to what nonsense he is talking about, wearing the clothes of an eunuch, but daring to insult the royal nobles in front of the empress..."

"A few days ago, I just heard from my aunts that there was a stupid man in the palace. Now that I see it, it's really a worthwhile trip..."

"It's just that, look at his stupidity, it's a pity that he has such a good skin."

Huai Huai was about to open his mouth to quibble, but he saw the emerald-topped eight sets of warm baths falling steadily to the ground. Those court ladies who had ridiculed before hurriedly bowed and retreated, and a pointed-faced court lady stepped forward and cautiously jumped away from the cotton Lian'er, the woman who came down from above, held a hollow and carved hand stove in her hand, covered with rosy clouds and jade, so extravagant.

Huai Huai stared at the woman's red eyes and pale skin, feeling extremely terrified.

"Spider-"

"Your Majesty, the servant is here."

Concubine Xi's thin white fingers slowly rubbed on the stove, "Go up and palm your mouth."

"Yes, empress." The pointed-faced palace maid reluctantly pulled her hand out of her warm sleeves, stepped forward quickly, and slapped Huaihuai hard, "There is no such thing as eyes, and empress's face is something you can stare at." of."

While speaking, he swung his second palm again.

It's a pity that I saved up enough energy, but took a break.

Huai Huai huddled in the snow, "Don't fight...don't fight... I'll just kneel."

The pointed-faced maid looked a little embarrassed, and turned to look at Concubine Xi.

Concubine Xi lowered her swollen eyes, and said in a low voice, "I found out that this respect room is becoming more and more useless. It's bright and sunny, and a big man is running around in the harem. What a shame."

The chief eunuch, Zhiqu, bowed forward, knelt down on one knee, and said flatteringly, "What is your order?"

Concubine Xi glanced at the shrinking man in the snow, "Gouged out her eyes and kicked her out of the palace."

The pointed-faced palace maid suddenly said, "Your Majesty, this person cannot be pushed away."

After all, she was her confidant girl as dowry, so Concubine Xi didn't care about it, she just gave her a cold look, "What's wrong?"

The pointed-faced palace maid approached Concubine Xi slightly, "Your Majesty, I heard that this idiot has a lot of background, I heard it is..."

The tone of the next few sentences is extremely low. Although it is a tacit secret in the palace, it is not easy to say it in public.

Concubine Xi tilted her head slightly, her face was as cold as frost after listening to the maid's words.

The resentment in his eyes almost seemed to rush out.

"Since I can't push you away, you can't let him break the rules of your ancestors."

Concubine Xi turned around and faced Nuanyu, the little maid on one side hurriedly opened the curtain,

Concubine Xi bent down into the sedan chair, and after she sat firmly, she looked at the eunuch in charge,

"There are no men in this palace, unless... he is a eunuch."

The chief eunuch's eyes cracked into tears, "Your servant understands."

The sharp-faced palace maid at the side showed hesitation, "Mother, the eunuchs in the palace are all cleaned up when they were young. This idiot is so old. If he is not castrated, he will die. I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain..."

Concubine Xi rolled her eyes, "Then castrate him well, if he dies, you won't be able to eat and walk around."

The chief eunuch hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the servant will do it now."

While speaking, Concubine Xi drove back to the palace, leaving a few eunuchs in place to seal the Huaihuai area tightly.

"Why are you just standing there in a daze—" the chief eunuch said angrily in a thin voice, "you still haven't taken me away?"

When a few people heard this, they grabbed their sleeves and went forward to arrest him.

Huaihuai was terrified, and he punched someone nearby, which caught the eunuch by surprise, covered his eyes and swayed freely, as if he was drunk, and finally fell to the ground.

"Hey, this kid still dares to resist, beat me to death—" The governor eunuch pointed at Huaihuai's nose with his orchid finger, and stepped back with small steps while yelling.

The rest of the eunuchs rushed forward and danced for a while, but they couldn't hold down Huaihuai at all. In desperation, they even used Wang Baquan, but it didn't work.

It is said that this slender eunuch is fine for rough work, but it is very bad for fighting.

But Huaihuai is different. He is tall and big. He has nothing to do when he is full for a day, and he has plenty of strength.

The chief eunuch looked impatiently from a distance, bent down and rolled a lot of snowballs on the ground, and with all his strength, he greeted this way, "A bunch of trash, even a fool can't catch it, but look at my grandpa... let's go!" you--"

It's a pity that the several snowballs thrown one after another all fell on a young eunuch.

In the blink of an eye, the person turned into a snowman, froze on the spot, only missing his head, "Elder-in-law, you just looked at me and smashed it, you hit our family..."

"Go away, you son of a bitch, if you hadn't blocked grandpa, grandpa would have hit that idiot long ago!"

"Elder-in-law, it doesn't matter if you hit him, this kid seems to have some fist skills, we can't catch him at all."

"Idiot eunuch, if grandpa hits his eye, don't you know how to hold him down while he is flicking the snow on his eye?"

"My father-in-law is really smart, so our family will come too."

Huaihuai saw that the little eunuch didn't come up to grab him any more, and they all squatted on the ground to collect snowballs, and they all smiled happily. They squatted on the ground and scratched a handful of snow. Looking at the chief eunuch, he threw it hard.

"Hey, hey - the bastard squeezed a hockey puck - killed grandpa -"

Huaihuai smiled happily, "Let's have a snowball fight!"

Seeing this, the little eunuchs beside him slapped the snow on Huaihuai's face, "Slap your father, you stupid ass!"

Huaihuai raised his hand to wipe the snow off his eyelids, when he felt a pounding on his head, his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness immediately.
