Waking up in the clear morning light, Qi Bao was a little disappointed. After the fireworks cleared last night, she couldn't bear the sleepiness and fell asleep, but Qi Xiao finally didn't come over.A few days ago, the multicolored knots were woven and wanted to be a gift for Qi Xiao's birthday, but there was no time to send them out.

Before he was not in good health, he didn't put much thought into congratulatory gifts. After recovering a lot, he thought about what to give when he had nothing to do. Qi Xiao naturally had everything he needed for the emperor. Gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings were piled up in Linxiang Hall It's full, and besides, if you really want to give it away, the things here are not from Qi Xiao.

After thinking for a long time, I finally asked Qiulin to teach her to weave colorful knots. This is just a folk gadget and cannot be used on the table, because the five colors have the meaning of the five elements, which can exorcise evil spirits, welcome good luck, avoid ghosts and eliminate diseases. It is also called longevity among the people. Yes, it can be a good compliment when you give it to others.

Since I can't give you anything valuable, at least make something unique for her.Really not knowing whether such a shabby thing can be given away, Qiu Lin guessed Qi Zhi's concerns, and said with a smile: "This is something the princess made up by herself, Your Majesty will definitely like it."

The finished product is exquisite and beautiful. In fact, they are simple gadgets that anyone can make well. When the compilation was finished, it happened to be the day of Tianshou Festival. It is not advisable to walk around more, and stay in the Lanyue Palace to make the final details of the colorful knots.

He waited until the night fell and finally his eyelids started to fight. He lay in the quilt and took a nap for a while. After being woken up by the fireworks, he thought he would see Qi Xiao in a short time, but he didn't expect to wake up with no one beside him.

Probably because the dinner party ended too late and I was afraid of disturbing myself.Qi Bao comforted himself in this way, took out the colorful knot wrapped by Hongjuan from under the pillow, looked sideways at the door, eagerly looking forward to Qi Xiao's arrival.

However, Qi Xiao was nowhere to be seen for the next few days, and the servants in Lanyue Palace continued to work and rest as usual, the people who came in and out were only Xiao Anzi, Wang Rui, and three personal servant girls.

As time passed day by day, Qi Zhi gradually recovered, and in the last few days of the end of the year, he was able to get up and walk around. Wang Rui said that the poison of Daphne genkwa has almost been cured, and the next step is to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the vitality, and it will not take many days. Heal and recover.

As soon as he was in good spirits and he didn't feel groggy before, Qi Ping missed Qi Xiao even more, and sometimes he would ask about the recent situation outside, because it was strange that Qi Xiao hadn't come for many days, Wang Rui opened Fang Zi's hand and paused, Indifferently glanced at Qi Zhe and then lowered his head to write, Qi Zhe blinked his eyes as if he wanted to ask more questions, Xiao Anzi took a step forward, only saying that the new year was approaching and he was busy with government affairs and probably had no time to come.

"Busy..." Qi Ping pursed his lips, his heart was full of doubts. In the past, Qi Xiao would come back within at least three days if he was entangled in affairs, but this time it has been nearly ten days including Tianshou Festival.

After Wang Rui had written the prescription, he put down his pen and handed the prescription to Xiao Anzi to ask him to go to the Shangyao Bureau to pick up the medicine. Just as he was picking up the things that had been spread out, Qi Ping brought up the topic just now: "It's almost the end of the year. Busy?"

It sounded like he was concerned about Wang Rui, but he was actually asking Qi Xiao about it. There were some troubles in the palace, and the first ones to know were not the important officials, but the ministries that served the emperor, and Shang Yao Bureau was one of them. .

"Some time ago, I heard His Majesty's voice was a little hoarse, and I don't know if it's cold." Qi Ping tightened the hand stove in his arms.

There was no pause in the action of tidying things up. Qi Yi finally gave up his intention of continuing to inquire. He has known Wang Rui for a long time. He has always been taciturn, and he doesn't like to evade detours. , Seeing that he was unmoved, Qi Ping sighed slightly: "Doctor Wang also lives in the palace during the New Year? Why don't you start a family, otherwise one person will be deserted."

A word of politeness made Mu Hulu raise his head, his thin jaw moved, just as he thought he was going to say something, after a brief silence, Wang Rui cupped his hands and said: "Minister, thank you Princess for your concern."

The pause in the middle is blank content, obviously he skipped some words, and only spoke half a sentence, Qi Zhe was flustered by his sudden salutation, and seemed to be deliberately prying into his thoughts to embarrass her, The other party didn't give her too much time to ease the embarrassment, packed up the things on the table, took a step back and said: "I will take my leave first."

Seeing Wang Rui's back exiting the room, a shadow cast over Qi Ping's dull heart again, but she didn't want to be involved in too many complicated things, so she asked Hua Xiang to put on a big cloak for her, and went outside the hall with the stove in her arms .

It will be noon, and it will be lunch time soon, the cold winter outside is dripping into ice, even if the sun is shining, there is no warmth at all, the gate of the palace is tightly guarded to block the biting cold outside.

"It's very stuffy in the house, let's open the door and let the air in."

After finishing speaking, Qi Ping stretched out his hand to push the door, Hua Xiang was one step ahead of her and helped her onto the chair, and then tightened the cloak for her. It's so cold and stuffy, she just wanted to open the door Waiting for the people coming in from outside, Hua Xiang knew it clearly but didn't touch it, she just moved the brazier closer to Qi Ping.

After opening the door, the cold air entered the hall. Fortunately, although the heat is insufficient and the wind is not strong, as long as Qi Ping sits obediently by the stove and does not move around, he should not suffer much cold air.

However, Hua Xiang poked her head out of the room to look at the scenery outside. Lin Handong was very deserted. The sweet-scented osmanthus trees were lush and had lost their sweet fragrance. A bare branch, with a few yellow and curly leaves hanging here and there.

Fortunately, the people in the house didn't want to enjoy the scenery, they just wanted to see the location of the main entrance.

Not long after, a person hurried in. Qi Ping, who was sitting on a chair reading a book, raised his head expectantly, and met Xiao Anzi who had just grabbed the medicine and came in. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he went into the decoction room to cook today's medicinal soup for Qi Ping.

With a little disappointment, he lowered his head and continued to read the book in his hand, feeling restless in his heart. Today is the 27th of the twelfth lunar month. In the last three days of the previous year, Qi Xiao would seal his pen and seal and stop working. Since they are not working, why are they so busy.

Could it be that something happened.

The thought that popped up out of the blue made Qi Wei tense all over, and immediately relieved himself why he started to think wildly, but the more he wanted to focus on the book, the more his thoughts became uncontrollable and worse.

After turning over only one page of the book, he was already a little restless, and thinking of Wang Rui's expression that seemed to be concealed and his unusual recent situation, he wished to go to Qi Xiao right away.

Distraught, he put the book back on the case, walked to the door, Hua Xiang followed closely, and when he reached the door, he used his body to cover her from the wind, and stopped Qi Zhi's pace, the courtyard was deserted , there is still a puddle of water sprinkled by Xiaolu yesterday on the stone path, and under today's cold, it has formed a thin layer of ice. You can see the white smoke rising from the side door. It should be that Xiao Anzi is boiling today's water. The medicinal soup will probably be ready in a while.

Everything seemed to be the same as before, but what caused Qi Yi to panic was only her guessing, and it could even be said to be a fantasy.But this uneasiness could not subside by itself, on the contrary, it became more and more intense.

"Princess..." Hua Xiang turned sideways and said, "It's cold outside, so don't stand in the wind for too long."

Being reminded like this, Qi Zhe was really shivering from the cold, and he recited silently several times in his heart to calm himself down. He turned around and wanted to go back to the recliner to continue reading. After walking a few steps, a voice came from behind. A series of quick steps.

It wasn't the promised footsteps of the little eunuch delivering the decree, nor was it the trotting of the maids trampling on the lotus feet. ring.

Turning around to see who was coming, at the same time that the other party had already stepped into the hall, the cold air outside was still surrounding his black-blue official robe, and on his chest was a colorfully embroidered picture of a crane flying its wings, and he walked in such a hurry that he It took a few breaths to stand still, and then he cupped his fists and said: "Chen Wei Bingcheng, I pay my respects to the princess, the princess is a thousand years old."

A frequent visitor to Lanyue Palace in the past, but since the overt and secret relationship between Qi Zhi and Qi Xiao ran rampant in the court, he has not come here for a year, and the last time he came was to visit her with Qi Xiao , and the last time we met was on the day of swimming in the lake.

Not coming to Lanyue Palace to avoid suspicion is one of them, but more importantly, she has to cut off her obsession, and Qi Yi is no longer the ignorant and ignorant girl in the past, she somewhat understands Wei Bingcheng's unintentional gaze and sometimes With a wry smile.

Since she can't respond to his feelings, Qi Zhi will not pretend to maintain the past relationship. Although it is a pity to lose a good teacher and friend, it is too hypocritical for her to exchange atonement or apology and sympathy. It is cruel to the other party.

But from the beginning to the end, Wei Bingcheng still has a place in her heart. He is a good teacher, helpful friend and someone who is admired like a brother. It is just like what she said when she presented the ink bamboo picture back then, it is not the slightest falsehood.

Thinking about it now, the two haven't seen each other for half a year, and the opposite party has already lost the gentle and gentle appearance of his youth. His slightly round cheeks have become firm and tight, and a beard on his upper lip makes him look much older. .

"Get up." Qi Ping signaled to Hua Xiang next to him to move a chair over, but Wei Bingcheng didn't sit down and stepped forward, saying: "Princess, I have something to tell you here."

"Well, Mr. Wei, please tell me."

Seeing that Wei Bingcheng seemed to be in a hurry to make a long story short, Qi Zhe didn't try to be polite, blinked his eyes a few times and waited for his next words.

Wei Bingcheng frowned with a serious expression, then looked around the room, his eyes lightly fell on the flowers next to him, then he retracted his eyes and lowered his head slightly.

Qi Ping understood what he meant, and nodded to Hua Xiang to let her retreat first. Hua Xiang bowed her knees and made a blessing before returning to the back room. Only Wei Bingcheng and Qi Ping were left outside the hall.

"Princess." Wei Bingcheng's voice was extremely low, "Please follow me out of the palace immediately."
