Deep ice

"Let's change another group of palace servants, I'm afraid there will be troubles." Yuan Jing's elegant eyebrows were slightly raised, "We should find someone to teach him some rules."

Xi Lian nodded again and again, "What the emperor said is that this idiot didn't intend to cause chaos, but because he didn't follow the rules. When the time comes, I will find a father-in-law to teach him."

Yuan Jing waved his hand and walked straight out, "It's just you."

Xi Lian froze in one place, like five thunderclaps.

But he couldn't shirk it, so he had to bite the bullet and give a low response, and followed the emperor out.

It is said that Huaihuai and Chunbao drilled the wood all night, but did not get any sparks, but the mattress on the bed board drilled a hole the size of a copper coin, and the cotton wool turned out, which is really ugly.

Chun Bao was sleeping soundly on the stool, with his mouth slightly open, saliva dripping down his lapel.

Huai Huai was not sleepy, his shoulder was hurting, he just kept the wooden stake in one place, and lay down on the bed looking at the ceiling.

The wick was burned out, and the room was pitch black.

Huaihuai stared, thinking about the past,

But it was very strange, and I couldn't remember it even after racking my brains.

He Yan beside him didn't even have the sound of breathing, as if he was really dead.

Huaihuai was a little cold, so he pulled the quilt inside to cover himself, rested his head on his hands, and continued to be in a daze.

Immediately, as if remembering something again, he took another bed to cover Chun Bao, and then lay down and rested in peace.

After thinking about resting his body, he got up and continued drilling.

Then Huaihuai closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Until noon, a father-in-law came in and woke Huai Huai up.

Huai Huai rubbed his eyes, looking at the eunuch in front of him.

With a haggard complexion, sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, a fox-like appearance, a pair of hanging eyes, and a respectful attitude, "The slave is beautiful, I have seen the master."

Huai Huai stood up abruptly, "Master?"

Xiuxiu said: "That's right. From now on, the servant will be the chief eunuch of Huayu Palace. He will take over the job of eunuch You and continue to serve you."

Huai Huai stared at the eunuch and saw that Lan Hua pointed to a blue-glazed soup bowl, which was full of thick black concoction.

"what is this?"

Xiuxiu put the bowl of medicine on the corner table beside her, "Master, this is the medicinal material that the imperial hospital just sent over this morning, it is said to regulate the breath, calm the mind and invigorate the qi."

Huai Huai stared at the bowl, looking at the size, it seemed to be bigger than the usual bowl for drinking medicine.

"You leave it there."

Xiuxiu twitched, "The servant has already left."

Huai Huai said: "Then you go out first, there is nothing going on here."

Xiuxiu still stood where she was, "I have something to do with you. This morning, the little Jinzi next to Eunuch Xi came to deliver a message, saying that when the master wakes up, he will call over. The emperor ordered Xi Eunuch to teach you the rules." Nah."

As soon as Huai Huai heard the word "Emperor", he regained his energy immediately and hurried down to the ground, "I'll go right away."

Xiuxiu said: "Don't worry, drink the medicine first."

Huaihuai said: "Why did the emperor ask Mr. Xi to teach me the rules? Is it because he wants to see me?"

Xiuxiu's expression was watery, but her tone was unquestionable, "You drink the medicine first."

Huaihuai began to rummage through boxes and cabinets, "If I see the emperor, I'll have to find some majestic clothes. He annoyed me before, so I can't leave a bad impression this time."

Xiuxiu couldn't help it, her face sank immediately, "Drink the medicine quickly!"

Huai Huai shuddered, unexpectedly this new father-in-law would be so stubborn.

But it was not easy to have a seizure, so he walked over in a hurry, took the medicine bowl, and began to blow the hot air on it.

Xiuxiu stared at Huai Huai, "It's not hot anymore, the slave has left it for a long time, it's just right for it to be cool and hot."

Huaihuai frowned when he smelled the strong bitterness of the concoction, but because Xiuxiu was staring at it, and there was no flowerpot around, it was not easy to just throw it away.

Sighing, Huai Huai was just about to drink when he happened to glance at Chun Bao who was sleeping with his mouth open next to him.

Huaihuai suddenly had an idea in his mind, "Grandpa Xiu, there is a silver box on the kang table, and there are sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in it, please bring some to me, Mr. Lao, otherwise the medicine is too bitter, I will drink it No more."

The corner of Xiuxiu's mouth twitched, she turned around and went to take it.

Huaihuai hurriedly poured a whole bowl of medicine into Chunbao's mouth.

Xiuxiu pouted and rummaged through the silver box for her classmate, "Where is there any pastry here? Not even a scum..."

Huaihuai looked distressed, "No way, I drank it all...it's so bitter..."

Xiuxiu got off the heating bed, turned around and stared suspiciously at the empty bowl in Huaihuai's hand, seeing that there was no place to pour the medicine around him, only a little eunuch leaned to one side, chewing with empty mouth, tsk tsk rattle.

Xiuxiu took the medicine bowl, "Clean up first, this servant will go out and settle the new palace servants, and I will pick you up later to go to Mr. Xi's place."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.

Huaihuai shakes Chunbao, "Chunbao, wake up."

Chun Bao's eyes were sleepy, "Eunuch You is here?"

Huai Huai said nothing, he found a lot of trouser belts and tied them together, thinking that if he was going out to see the emperor, he would have to tie that rascal to the bed to avoid bad things.

Chun Bao licked his lips, "This dream of mine is becoming more and more real. I drank mushroom soup in my dream. Why does my mouth really taste like this when I wake up?"

Huai Huai just lowered his head to connect his belt, "Help connect it."

Seeing this, Chunbao hurried forward to help.

The two of them connected a dozen or so trouser belts together, Chunbao's expression became more serious,

"It's the master after all, there are so many belts."

Huai Huai fiddled with his belt with a dark face, "So what, it's not about being bullied by scoundrels."

Chunbao looked sad: "I only have one trouser belt, and it broke a few days ago, so I can only wrap it around my waist with hemp rope."

After speaking, he lifted up his clothes, revealing the ropes around his waist.

Huai Huai paused, "I just want the rope."

Chun Bao shook his head, "This is my trouser belt."

Huaihuai took the pair of belts, "These are yours, you just take them apart and give me the rope."

Chun Bao pondered for a moment, thinking that it would be very cost-effective to exchange one belt that was too long for ten pairs of short belts, so he untied the rope around his waist and handed it to Huaihuai, while he squatted aside to remove those knotted belts.

Huaihuai took the rope, glanced at He Yan on the bed, snorted coldly, and Chun Bao, who had tied He Yan and the bed tightly together with the hemp rope, desperately wanted to untie those knots.

Because just now Huaihuai used all his strength to fasten those belts, causing Chun Baojie's eyeballs to hurt.

Xiuxiu arranged all the new maids and eunuchs, and went back to the house to find Huaihuai.

As soon as he opened the door and came in, he froze in one place.

That idiot wrapped around the empty bedboard with a ferocious face, but he really couldn't see why he was angry.

A little eunuch was squatting next to him, his trousers were down to his feet, he was squatting on the ground with his buttocks bare, his face was flushed from holding back, and he was wheezing loudly.

Xiuxiu reacted quickly, she stepped forward a few steps and kicked Chunbao to the ground,

"Where did you come from such an unruly brat, who dares to show respect in Huayu Palace, then our family will be blind!"

Huai Huai was taken aback, turned around and saw it was Xiuxiu, stopped his movements, "This is my playmate, he lives in Huayu Palace."

Chun Bao was kicked on all fours, and hurriedly covered his crotch, "Who are you?"

Huaihuai said: "This is the new eunuch in charge, and he is on an errand with Eunuch You."

Xiuxiu kept her face cold, put her foot back, and glanced at Chunbao, "There's nothing, why are you covering it?"

Chun Bao seemed to have been poked in a sore spot, "New meat came out..."

Xiuxiu stood upright, facing Huaihuai, her face was tense,

"Let's go."

Huai Huai panicked when he heard the words, "Eunuch Lao is waiting for me, I will come as soon as I clean up."

After finishing speaking, he called Chunbao again, "Come and help me see which one is the most handsome."

Xiuxiu didn't speak, she turned around and left, "It happens that the emperor is going to court early, and Eunuch Xi still has some time to see you. If it takes a while longer, I'm afraid I will have to wait until the emperor is studying in the afternoon."

When Huai Huai heard this, he quickly pulled at the skirt of his clothes, "Elder-in-law, what do you think of this body?"

Xiuxiu didn't even look back, she just pushed the door open and walked out.

Huai Huai didn't care about cleaning up, and hurriedly followed out.

The thin snow outside is reflected by the sun, and it has the momentum of melting.

The bell of the emperor's retreat is vigorous and powerful.

Under the vermilion palace, two more people were walking hastily, one in front and one behind.

Huaihuai put his hands in his sleeves to warm them up. In the past, he fled with his own life. This time, it was the first time someone led him to the front hall. He was extremely happy, but he still followed behind Xiuxiu in a well-behaved manner. , for fear of offending Xiuxiu and returning to the palace.

Within half a stick of incense, the two of them arrived at the Imperial Study Room at the back of Fushou Hall.

Xiuxiu greeted the guards at the door, then led Huai Huai towards the inside.

Before the house is finished, the light corridor is already extremely magnificent.

Nine layers of brocade tents, layer upon layer.

Carved dragons and phoenixes everywhere, ivory handrails, gold and jade coiled dragons, luxurious and beautiful, even the maids standing on both sides, seem to be different from the usual ones, all of them have magnolias inserted obliquely, and the white plums are fragrant.

But the face is hard, like an ice cube that won't melt, and he carefully holds his body, for fear that something might go wrong.

Xiuxiu frowned, "The servant has to go in and call Xie Gonggong, you stay here and don't run around."

After finishing speaking, he greeted a young eunuch and leaned on his shoulder and whispered twice.

The eunuch nodded like pecking rice, looked up at Huaihuai, mocking uncontrollably.

"Eunuch Xiu, don't worry, our family will just watch him."

Huai Huai stood obediently in the corridor outside the house, and could understand the meaning of the words,

"Don't worry, Eunuch Xiu, I'm not going anywhere."

Xiuxiu looked at him for a while, then turned around and went in to find Xilian.

But as soon as he entered the door, the guards and eunuchs in the distance began to kneel down in groups.

The emperor had just left court and came to the imperial study.

Huaihuai stared at the dazzling bright yellow and came from afar.

The gray and desolate colors around suddenly came alive, and the bright yellow brought by that person softened a lot.

The golden dragon hovers on the cuff, blowing by the wind, as if about to jump out.

Yuan Jing got off the tall dragon chariot, stood still, surrounded by a group of people, and slowly entered the imperial study.

Although the black eyes on his face were cold and hostile, they still couldn't freeze the warmth in Huai Huai's heart.

Huaihuai watched him casually glance over here, his eyes fell on Huaihuai's face, and turned his head indifferently as if he didn't see it.

The bead string he was playing with in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Like a crisp laugh.

Xi Lian who came out from the imperial study hurried forward to pick it up, then handed it up.

Someone's embarrassment is fleeting like a superficial touch.

Yuan Jing frowned tightly, as if extremely angry, he quickened his steps.

Seeing the emperor's anger, the palace people around them all held their breath and followed behind tremblingly.

The sun shines on the palace, which is cold and desolate.

Yuan Jing's angry appearance, in Huai Huai's eyes, is full of charm and sultry.

The tone in the ear is soft, and hot air is blowing from the dry and cold air.

"Look at his coquettish appearance."

Huaihuai grinned, his mouth was parched, he just smiled and didn't speak.

"A person like him... he is obviously coquettish in bed, but he has to act like a noble person on weekdays. He has to be rushed to make trouble with him."

Huai Huai was fascinated by it, "I don't look like it..."

"Like it, you'll know if you try it."

Huaihuai suddenly remembered the same thing, slowly suppressed the smile on his face, and turned his head to look at the person talking beside him.

He Yan changed into a purple brocade robe somewhere, and he wore cyan high boots, reflecting that face, with an extraordinary heroic spirit.

Huaihuai seemed to be trapped in an ice cave, and his body shook twice, "Didn't I tie you to the bed? How did you escape?"

Then he cupped his hands and begged for mercy, "Go back quickly, if you are here, you will definitely cause trouble, if he is angry with me and kicks me out, I might as well die."

He Yan squinted at him, and answered irrelevantly, "You're dead long ago."

Huaihuai froze for a moment, watched He Yan turn and leave, and said to his back: "Although I don't understand what you said, can you let go of Liang Zi before you two, I will be a peacemaker for you, From now on, it will be a good thing for the two of us to compete fairly."

The eunuch next to him stared at Huai Huai in horror, his face covered with cold sweat.

Thinking that after staying in the palace for so many years, it was the first time he heard someone speak ill of the emperor so blatantly.
