Deep ice

Jingxuan Palace.

The concubines on the heated kang are dignified and elegant, raising their hands to throw incense.

Right now, the concubine is reclining on the soft pillow with embroidered phoenix border, her belly is slightly bulging, and her jade hands are caressing slowly, extremely carefully.

The court lady who was kneeling on the ground and beating her legs tightly clenched her pink fists, where they landed, the force was neither too big nor too small, and the person who hit them was very comfortable.

Concubine Ning turned her face to look out of the window, the warm sun was shining in the sky, and the eaves were melting ice, it was actually a bit of spring.

"Don't knock," Ning Bin waved her hand, "The swelling is not bad now."

Zi Zhu, who was beating his legs, straightened his waist, and added a soft cushion to Ning Bin's waist.

Concubine Ning got up, but she didn't intend to lie down again, "I see that the weather outside is not bad, why don't you go out and relax. This man always rests in the warm pavilion, and his body is getting weaker and weaker."

Zizhu heard the words, "Mother, you are only a month pregnant, and your body is unstable, you'd better rest more."

Concubine Ning stubbornly got down to the ground, "If you rest any longer, I'm afraid I'll be paralyzed in this hall."

Zizhu couldn't help it, so she had to stretch out her hands to support her, and put Concubine Ning off the heating kang, then took the cloak presented by the maid behind her, shook it off, and wrapped it around Concubine Ning's body.

After everything was done, he hugged the stove and helped Concubine Ning out of the house.

Concubine Ning, who hadn't been out of the house for a long time, was in high spirits, she was surrounded by the crowd and walked out of the hall slowly.

The warm sun melted the ice, and the imperial capital was filled with humidity.

The normally gloomy palace walls are very bright after being washed by the melted snow.

Concubine Ning took a deep breath, "The smell outside is better after all. If you smell too much of that spice, it will make you tired and flustered."

Zizhu didn't have the leisurely mind to go for a walk, she just concentrated on supporting Concubine Ning, for fear that something might go wrong.

After all, it was Concubine Ning's first pregnancy, less than a month old, her fetal gas was not stable enough, and the road was slippery, if she fell, let alone a dragon fetus, just this mistake would be enough to make her lose her head.

This servant is born with a low life, a few days ago I heard that the Weiyang Palace gave the emperor the entire palace to die, it was really frightening to hear.

Just as he was thinking about this, two little maids in plain white long dresses came out from the front, carrying a food box and laughing as they walked, completely oblivious to the people behind them.

"The treatment after serving the bed is not the same. Yesterday when our empress came back from serving the bed, the eunuchs from all the palaces who came to give gifts were almost discharged from the palace early in the morning."

"Isn't it just that you can be favored as soon as you sleep in bed. If you are pregnant with a dragon fetus, you will naturally go to heaven. When the time comes, you will be taking care of it. How can there be time?"

"I really hope my mother-in-law can also get pregnant. If the master is powerful, the slave will also look good, don't you just look at the purple bamboo in the Jingxuan Hall, whose eyes are born in the skull, and everyone walks with their faces up when they see it..."

"That's her family's master fighting for his luck. He was the first to conceive a dragon fetus. There is no queen in this harem. Naturally, the most pregnant concubines are the most precious."

……

Zi Zhu understood, she let go and Concubine Ning was about to rush forward, but Concubine Ning stopped her.

The two little girls in front walked further and further away.

Zi Zhu's eyes were red, and she bit her lip slightly, "Your Majesty, this servant doesn't think that other people speak ill of your servant behind his back, but your Majesty, how can I stand others poking my back."

It's not that Concubine Ning is not angry, but what's even more angry is that the emperor didn't come to see her for a few days, but favored other concubines instead.

"Which palaces are the empresses attending the bed recently? Why doesn't this palace know?"

Zi Zhu murmured: "Go back to your mother, I didn't tell you because I didn't want to annoy you."

Concubine Ning's tone was flat, "But it doesn't matter."

Zizhu said: "Actually, there are not many people. Yesterday was nobleman Dong, and the previous one was Concubine Lian. Going forward..."

Concubine Ning turned pale, "Enough!"

Zizhu hurriedly leaned down, "Your Majesty, calm down."

Anger was on Yu's face, and Concubine Ning clenched her hands tightly,

"It's really strange why the emperor suddenly changed his mind..."

Zizhu thought for a while, then his eyes lit up, "Madam, a few days ago, Weiyang Palace gave death to a group of palace servants, but I don't know if the two are related or not."

Hearing what Zizhu said, Concubine Ning felt a little tired with the warm sun shining on her face, "I hope the emperor is really tired of that idiot, even now that there are so many concubines vying for favor, we are looking forward to it."

-

Huai Huai opened his eyes, stretched his waist, and had a splitting headache.

The little eunuch beside him widened his eyes, and suddenly jumped away,

"Oh, you're a scammer~"

Huai Huai stared at Chun Bao's round face for a long time, then scratched his head, "Chun Bao?"

Chunbao was terrified, "You have been asleep for seven or eight days, and the sound of your breathing is very quiet. I still think you are dead."

Huai Huai smacked his lips, "Why is my mouth so bitter..."

Chun Bao said: "You have been lying in bed for these days, Yingying fed you some porridge and tonics, and never ate anything else."

Huai Huai put on his boots, "Which one is Yingying?"

Chun Bao said: "A maid in Weiyang Palace."

After finishing speaking, he sighed again: "By the way, this Weiyang Palace is really big. I've lived here for so many days, and it's hard to see anyone wherever I go, but I have a fate with Yingying, and I can see her every day."

Huai Huai said: "Seven or eight days... how can I sleep for such a long time..."

Chun Bao thought for a moment, "The last time I saw you was at the cockfight in Huayu Palace. After the cockfight, I fell seriously ill, and I haven't seen you since. I guess you're tired too, so I've only slept until now. "

Huaihuai suddenly realized, "It's so, cockfighting is really harmful."

Chun Bao said, "I won't dare in the future."

Then he wentssiping: "Yesterday I heard from Yingying that this Weiyang Palace was the place where the emperor used to sleep, and it is also close to the current emperor's bedroom. Wouldn't it be more convenient for you and me in this way?"

Huaihuai turned his head to look at Chunbao, "What's convenient?"

Chun Bao was taken aback, "Don't you like the emperor, we are so close, you and I can climb the wall to see the emperor."

Huai Huai pondered for a while, "Your Majesty?"

Chun Bao froze, "You don't remember?"

Huaihuai nodded, "Your Majesty, I naturally remember it, but I feel that the Emperor seems to be tired of me, but I really can't remember why."

Chun Bao said, "Could it be because of Brother He again?"

Huai Huai froze, "Are you calling me?"

Chun Bao was startled and said, "Isn't there a brother He?"

Huai Huai said: "I never remember such a person."

Chun Bao pursed his lips, "Huaihuai, why did you wake up after sleeping for a few days, and your mind is so sleepy."

Huaihuai looked sad, but he didn't answer the question, "I annoyed the emperor, how can I coax him."

Chun Bao said: "The emperor is annoyed at you, I'm afraid it's boring, this person must have a good skill to be liked by others."

Huaihuai racked his brains when he heard the words, but he didn't remember what his strengths were, so he said in a low voice: "I have nothing special, I can't blame the emperor for looking down on me."

Chun Bao stood up straight, imitating the chief eunuchs in the palace, flexed his little finger, and flicked his dirty cotton robe, "It's okay, I'll teach you."

Huai Huai stared at the wooden board of the cotton robe, swaying from side to side as it was played, "Aside from eating a lot, you have no good points."

Chun Bao suddenly revealed a sneer in his eyes, "Huai Huai, you really underestimate me."

After finishing speaking, he ran towards the outer hall without looking back.

Huaihuai followed behind, saw Chunbao stopped in front of a window, put it on top of it and listened for a long time, then ran to the other side, doing exactly the same as before.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, Chun Bao ran profusely in sweat, and it was finally over.

Huai Huai's face was a little stiff, "This is the skill you said? Are you listening to the room?"

Chun Bao was so tired that he was out of breath, "Well, I was afraid that the wall would have ears, so I overheard our conversation."

Then he put down all the curtains in Weiyang Palace, covering the light.

The inner hall was suddenly as dark as night.

Chunbao Lahuaihuai squatted in a corner, her voice was extremely low, "I recently..."

Huaihuai leaned forward with his head sideways, "Speak up, I can't hear you."

Chun Bao took a gouged look at Huai Huai, put his hands on Huai Huai's head, and whispered in his ear.

"... "

Huaihuai's ears were tightly covered, "Chunbao, cover my ears, I can't hear even more."

Only then did Chunbao realize that he took his hand and said, "I'm practicing martial arts."

Huaihuai straightened his body, "Chunbao, I never thought you would be so capable."

Chun Bao was very proud, "Just think about it, if you possess unique skills, the emperor will definitely look at you with admiration."

Huaihuai stared at Chunbao for a long time, "Why do you suddenly think of martial arts?"

Chun Bao said: "Ever since I got a serious illness, I have felt that physical health is really important, and the only way to do it is to strengthen the body, so I started practicing after I said it."

Huaihuai nodded and said: "It really makes sense. I'm not in good health recently, but I should practice with you. I can not only strengthen my body, but also gain a good point. To please the emperor, it really serves multiple purposes."

Chun Bao smiled slightly, "Well, I'll treat you well."

Huai Huai immediately knelt down on his knees, "If that's the case, then I'll take you as my teacher."

Chun Bao looked solemn, "That's not necessary, you and I are brothers, just compete with each other, there is no need to learn from a teacher."

Huaihuai got up when he heard the words, "I don't know if you practice the sword or the stick? I don't really want to practice the stick. It's so ugly. Only monks practice that."

Chun Bao said: "At first I also wanted to practice knives, but there are no other weapons in our palace except kitchen knives, and there is only one. If I take it away, Yingying will not have a kitchen knife to cook. After learning from the pain, I can only Reluctant to give up love."

Huaihuai was very disappointed, "Then let's practice the stick."

Chunbao shook his head, "I did it empty-handed."

Huai Huai said: "That's also good, you can practice empty-handed to look better."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chunbao pricked up his ears and strained his face to listen to the movement outside.

Seeing this, Huaihuai clenched his fists tightly and acted like an ambush.

For a moment, the two of them looked like knights in the rivers and lakes.

Huaihuai said in a low voice, "Could it be that there is someone on the eaves?"

Chun Bao closed his eyes, listened carefully for a while, then opened them again, radiant, "It's time!"

After finishing speaking, he ran out.

Huai Huai followed closely behind, "When is it?"

Chun Bao said: "I set a rule for myself, to hear the rooster dancing every day, and I heard the rooster crowing just now!"

Huaihuai's blood was on his face immediately, "Chunbao! Take me!"

In the courtyard where the two ran, Chun Bao stopped under the ancient tree in Weiyang Palace, took a steady step, stretched out his palm, and breathed in.

Huaihuai tilted his head and looked at one side, the chicken lying on the snow was making noises, very anxious, "Chunbao, why is it a hen?"

Chun Bao didn't open his eyes, "I can't complain, this chicken doesn't crow every morning, but it crows in the afternoon."

Huai Huai squatted down, watching the hen crowing non-stop, becoming more and more anxious, and when she got up to move her nest, there was an egg in the snow.

The egg falls, and the palm rises.

The ancient trees are towering.

The little eunuch, who was standing still and staying below, suddenly chopped down the tree with one hand frantically, wheezing, and was very concentrated.

After an hour of incense sticks, Huaihuai yawned,

"Chunbao, it's fine if you don't change your moves, but change your hands."

"The right hand is swollen out of shape."
