Deep ice

Xi Lian took out the note and presented it carefully.

Yuan Jing slightly raised his eyes, "Letter?"

Xi Lian respectfully said: "The man said that the emperor will like it when he sees it."

Yuan Jing pursed her lips and remained silent, continuing to read the rest of yesterday's memorial.

Seeing this, Xilian tactfully bowed and left.

Yuan Jing picked up a pen to criticize the red, and then raised his eyes, seeing that there was no one in front of the table, he went to look at the note lying there.

It was carefully folded, but still a little wrinkled.

Yuan Jing brought it over and was about to open it, but the eunuch from the outer hall came to report,

"Report to the emperor, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials asks to see you."

Yuan Jing put down the things in his hands, "Xuan."

The little eunuch bowed in response, took two steps back slowly, then turned around and hurried out again.

The minister who came in came in green robes and jade belts, with thin eyes and thick eyebrows. When he saw Yuan Jing, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "My humble minister sees the emperor."

Yuan Jing lightly raised his hand, "Get up."

After the Minister of the Ministry of Officials thanked him respectfully, he got up slowly and waited for the order.

Yuan Jing's tone was bland, "Is there anyone for the appointment of the new Southeast Governor?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials frowned, "Back to the Emperor, I am discussing with Lord Tian of the Ministry of Military Affairs, but right now... there is no suitable candidate yet."

A chill appeared on Yuan Jing's face, "You guys can delay."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials flicked, "The emperor atones."

After hesitating for a moment, he explained: "I know very well that the war in the southeast is imminent, but the barbarians outside the northern border are fierce, and the war is imminent. At this moment, no matter who is transferred, it will affect the whole body. Days, it’s all incomprehensible.”

Yuan Jing said coldly: "How about Ningyue Pass."

Minister of the Ministry of Officials was silent for a while, "The place where this person is stationed is not a frontier fortress. This is within the consideration of the minister, but Mr. Tian, ​​Minister of the Ministry of War, intends to fight against the southeast thieves. Can’t solve the fundamental disaster.”

"It can be resisted for a while, let's wait for some time to come out..." Yuan Jing continued: "When there is a suitable candidate, then send a supervisor who can recruit and fight well."

Minister of the Ministry of Officials thought for a long time, "The emperor's words are reasonable, so I will do it."

Yuan Jing's eyes were tired, "Go down."

Hearing this, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials bowed and retreated.

Yuan Jing didn't even bother to open the note to read it.

His eyes fell on the memorial, which was empty.

I thought repeatedly in my heart that I was forced to the border by that person.

When the soldiers approached the city, the man got on his horse and put on his sword.

The wind is hunting, and the cloud journey is thousands of miles away.

The general pointed his sword at the city gate, and there were barbarians outside the city with blades.

At that time, the 17-year-old little prince was terrified as he watched the fighting outside the city.

It can be seen that the man's back has not entered the city gate, but he is inexplicably at ease.

Huaihuai sneezed and rubbed his nose, "Chunbao, I've been looking for you for a long time..."

After seeing the person in front of him clearly, he took a few steps back in shock, "Why is your face as dark as the bottom of a pot... Could it be that you fell into the stove?"

Chun Bao's face turned black, and he brought up a bowl of black medicine juice, "Yingying was too busy, so she asked me to make medicine for you. Unexpectedly, there was a lot of firewood, and the smoke was billowing, choking me to tears."

Sighing, Chun Bao carefully placed the medicinal juice on the table, "I'm afraid it's because of my eye disease."

Huai Huai glanced at the ink-like medicine, and frowned, "The color of this medicine today is much darker than before..."

Chun Bao said, "Maybe it's because of the smoke."

Huai Huai said: "...I'd better not drink it, it sounds scary."

Chun Bao rolled his eyes, and the dark face took advantage of his eyes to make them whiter, "You said it earlier, and I brought it to you. If I had known this, I would just drink it in the kitchen and it would be fine."

Huai Huai said: "From now on, it will all belong to you."

Chun Bao took the bowl, "Then I won't be polite."

Then he raised his neck, drank the medicine cleanly, wiped his mouth and said: "Shu Tan."

Huaihuai said, "Chunbao, I have something to discuss with you."

Chun Bao hiccupped, "What's the matter?"

Huaihuai looked around for a while, then said in a low voice: "Didn't you see that I wrote a letter to the emperor before, and I came to you just to tell you about the letter."

Taking a breath, he said again: "I didn't recite any poems in that letter, but I just asked the emperor to come out and meet."

Chun Bao was startled and said, "Then does the emperor agree?"

Huaihuai's eyes were full of honey, "I'm sure I won't refuse."

Chun Bao said, "Where is it? What time is it?"

Huaihuai patted his head, "It's bad, I forgot to write the time, I only said to meet in the plum garden, so if the emperor arrives early, what will happen if he doesn't see me."

After finishing speaking, you have to make a palace gesture.

Chun Bao hurriedly pulled Huai Huai back, "It's still early in the day, I think the emperor is having dinner, he won't go so early, besides, you didn't pack up, just left, it doesn't look like it."

Huaihuai looked at himself, "It's all these clothes that I exchanged, so what else can I clean up?"

Chun Bao looked at Huai Huai for a while, "Why don't I order you a beauty spot?"

Huaihuai nodded, "Alright."

Yingying picked up the food box and stepped over the threshold, "Master, it's time for dinner."

When Chunbao saw Yingying, she immediately came to pay attention.

"Yingying, do you have Qingdai thrush?"

Yingying squinted at Chunbao, "What do you want this kind of thing for?"

Chun Bao said: "Of course it's for the master. If you have it, bring it over quickly."

Yingying put down the food box coldly, turned around and went out, and brought it to Chunbao not long after, "You serve the master to eat, I still have a lot of work to do."

Chun Bao responded, and after Yingying left, he said to Huai Huai, "Come here, I'll order it for you."

Huaihuai leaned down and stretched his neck, "Come on, let's make some signs."

Chun Bao pouted, "What do you mean, you want me to put some on your face?"

Huai Huai was very puzzled, "If you don't touch your face, why not touch your butt?"

Chun Bao said: "It's too vulgar to touch the face, it's better to touch something special, it's more innovative."

Huaihuai pondered for a while, then awkwardly said: "I'll do it myself."

Chun Bao handed Qing Dai over, saw Huai Huai turned around, lowered his head to nod the mole, his face was a little red, "Huai Huai, where are you going to do it?"

Huaihuai put on his trouser belt, returned Qingdai to Chunbao, and heaved a sigh of relief, "It's ready, I'll take off my trousers then, it's really a wonderful sight."

Chun Bao looked complicated, "As long as things don't get messed up, that's fine."

Huai Huai straightened his hair, "Everything is ready now."

Chun Bao said: "Don't you bring some things over there? Talking is really boring."

Huaihuai said, "What are you bringing?"

Chun Bao took a look at the food box, "Bring some food over there, and talk while eating, reciting poems and composing right, you have strength too."

Huai Huai was overjoyed, "Good idea."

After finishing speaking, he lifted the lid of the food box, took out all the contents inside, and only filled the five-flavored nut cake, "This cake is finely cut, that's all."

Chunbao showed approval, "It's also easy to carry, it's really good."

Huaihuai tidied up, "I'll go there now, so that the emperor won't be able to find me if he arrives early."

-

Second watch,

Candles flickered in the royal study.

By the side of the dragon case, the lonely shadow is monotonous.

Yuan Jing put down his pen, closed his eyes and calmed down.

After being silent for a while, he suddenly remembered again, and raised his eyes to see the note thrown aside.

The yellow porcelain teacup is open, and the residual heat curls up.

When it was opened, it was intermittent and full of typos, but it was an appointment in the plum garden.

Yuan Jing was silent for a moment, then became angry from embarrassment.

I rolled up the piece of paper, and was about to throw it away, but accidentally opened it again,

I watched it several times before falling to the ground.

The little eunuch who was grinding while shaking his hands, his face was pale.

Yuan Jing heaved a sigh of relief, dipped his pen in the ink, but could not go on with his criticism no matter what.

There was a slight sound of a door panel outside, as if someone had come in.

The palace guards guarding the door of the imperial study opened the door, and the eunuch who stepped in had his nose red from the cold.

Xilian complained in a low voice, "It's already spring, why is it still snowing?"

While speaking, he brought feather brushes to the two maids to wipe off the velvet snow on their shoulders, and then slowly walked into the inner hall, and after walking a few steps, he saw the ball of paper on the ground, Xi Lian immediately understood three points in his heart.

But just pretending not to see, Chaoyuan Jing Fu Yifu body,

"Your Majesty, it's still morning tomorrow, so let's rest earlier."

Seeing Xilian's blue lips with cold, Yuan Jing kept silent, put down his pen and got up.

Seeing this, Xilian hurriedly asked the palace servants next to him to serve her.

Take off your clothes and put down the tents, and the lights are dim.

There was a strong wind howling outside, and the window paper buzzed and trembled.

Xi Lian lightly instructed the palace attendant on duty, "The earth dragon will regenerate more vigorously, it's very cold tonight."

Yuan Jing just pretended not to hear and closed his eyes.

But I couldn't sleep anyway.

I still remember that on the first day of the first lunar month of that year, when He Yan returned triumphantly, because Emperor Taichu went out of the city to greet him personally, in order to see Long Yan, the crowd outside was turbulent, wave after wave, endlessly clamoring.

The prince who was hidden in the warm sedan chair suddenly lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and the people who squeezed in were actually elders with cold noses.

The general who was originally riding on a tall horse couldn't stand the cold, so he got in to keep warm.

But the sedan chair was very narrow, and they refused to give way to each other. During the pushing and shoving, the general bumped his head against the top of the sedan chair, and said with an angry look on his face, "Aren't I still obsessed with you all the time? Go inside!"

The people outside cheered closer and closer, but in the narrow sedan chair, there were only him and him.

A cold face, an angry look,

No one would admit it, nor know each other, tender and sweet.

Yuan Jing got up, her face was still cold,

"Xilian--"

Xi Lian was about to leave, but she was a little taken aback when she called out to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the servant is here."

"Go to the Plum Garden."

Three watch days.

The west wind rolls the ice, and the red plums are proud of the snow.

After half a stick of incense, Yuan Jing stood outside the plum garden, wrapped tightly in a fox fur brocade quilt.

But the wind blew on his face, still like a knife.

"You guys wait here."

Yuan Jing's voice was indifferent, and he didn't look back.

Xi Lian had no choice but to obey the order, thinking about the previous events, he felt very palpitating, so he ordered the guards to surround the entire plum garden and strictly treat the order.

Before he had gone far, Yuan Jing saw the snowman.

Huai Huai stood beside a plum tree with arms folded, looking forward to see through.

Seeing someone coming here, he couldn't even react, he just stared at Yuan Jing for a while, and then ran up happily, with a thick layer of frost on his eyebrows and eyes, trembling all over.

"Your majesty...you are here..."

Yuan Jing's face was pale, like a wandering soul in the night,

Just about to get angry, but was imprisoned by a pair of powerful arms,

Huai Huai's voice trembled a little, "It's warm and warm...it's so cold..."

Yuan Jing was terrified, he broke free, took a few steps back, and leaned against the plum tree,

The snow fell down on the top of the head, with some plum petals caught.

The person in sight has piercing eyes, and the hand on his heart is his own.

Huai Huai's eyes were clear, "Your Majesty...?"

Yuan Jing's voice was unstable, "...don't come here."

Huai Huai said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I won't go there,"

Yuan Jing watched for a long while, seeing that the man's eyes were clear, like a child's, so he put his hand away in relief.

Huaihuai continued, "I'm right here."

After speaking, he leaned forward slightly.

Skillfully, she clasped the back of Yuan Jing's head with one hand, and hugged his waist tightly with the other.

Yuan Jing's eyes widened.

The soft and cool kiss on the lips became more and more entangled.
