Jiang Qing

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, the banquet in the palace on New Year's Eve, and the ministers accompanied Zhao Zhen to the "Haiyan Heqing" dinner. When Mei Shao and Bai Bingchen returned to the mansion, they had already beaten the drum.

Official Taoist, it takes a long time to walk to the corner gate in the palace. After the officials retreated from the banquet, they all folded their sleeves and lowered their heads, braving the cold wind and walking quickly against the corner of the wall.

Bai Bingchen was left to say a few more words, and when he came out, the officials were all walking ahead, Mei Shao took the opportunity to hold his hands and put them in his sleeves, walking on the outside of the official road to block the wind, but complained Said: "If there is something important to ask you to come back, now it's the second day."

Bai Bingchen fastened the cloak for him with a smile, looked around for no one, then quickly pecked his chin, reached into his sleeve, and interlocked his fingers, "Let's go, our little general is here again!" I'm one year older. Can I make fish head soup for you tonight?"

Mei Shao held him backhandedly, and hummed, "Master Bai is busy with government affairs, so he still remembers my birthday."

He curled his lips, remained silent for a while, and then leaned over and asked, "You do it yourself?"

Bai Bingchen gave him a sideways glance, and said, "Look at my mood today."

"It depends on your mood when I celebrate my birthday?" Mei Shao dissatisfied, smiled and was about to hug her, but Bai Bingchen dodged it.

Fortunately, they have already walked a lot, and when Bai Bingchen took two steps to avoid it, he just arrived at the door. Mei Shao waved at the carriage in his house with ease, signaling them to go back by themselves, and turned around to climb on the carriage of Baifu. .

Bai Bingchen stopped him, raised his eyebrows towards his carriage, "Go back to your house."

"Yanfang..." Mei Shao refused, and said in a soft voice.

Bai Bingchen nodded his forehead, pushed the person away from his shoulders, and said with a smile on his face, "Even if you go back with me, you will be troubled for another half day. It's getting late now, go back to sleep at your own house."

Mei Shao took a step back and said, "Is there a vacant room for me in your house? Is it okay if I don't go to your house to trouble you?"

Bai Bingchen was well aware of his temper, so what he said right now, when he was allowed to return to the White Mansion, it would be a different situation.

"Go back and rest well, and come over to eat when you wake up." Bai Bingchen touched his face, turned around and got into the carriage.

Mei Shao had no choice but to part ways.

When Bai Bingchen returned to the mansion, someone had already prepared hot water and moved him behind the screen for him to take a bath.

Bai Bingchen took off his clothes and soaked, the hot water poured into his tired limbs, he closed his eyes and squinted for a while, and was about to hit some saponins, when he suddenly remembered what Mei Shao said when he was fighting with him last time.

He lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, and called Ning Kuan.Ning Kuan was originally guarding the door, but when he heard Bai Bingchen's voice, he came in and listened to the orders outside the screen.

"You...have you recognized the housekeeper of Mei Mansion as your godfather?" Bai Bingchen asked, pursing his lips.

The relationship between the two of them is well known to the confidantes of the Mei Mansion and the Bai Mansion. Ning Kuan is a little bit out of character. Bai Bingchen usually asks Ning Kuan to spread the word between the Bai Mansion and the Mei Manor. cooked.He was originally an orphan, so he went to Mei Mansion twice, became friends with the housekeeper of Mei Mansion, and then recognized him as his godfather, which was also considered a support.

"Yes." Ning Kuan rubbed his nose, "Godfather also told me to go to Mei Mansion for lunch today."

Bai Bingchen lowered his voice, and casually said: "You go now, just say that you are curious about the saponin and incense formula that Mrs. Mei in their house uses every day, and get a copy."

"Huh?" Ning Kuan was taken aback.

"I'll give you two more days off." Bai Bingchen said quickly.

Ning Kuan came to his senses, understood what he meant, slipped his feet, and ran out quickly.

Bai Bingchen's ears turned red secretly, he got up silently, put on his clothes, went to bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Bai Bingchen sleeps well, usually he doesn't turn over, but today he is especially tired, his mind is still fuzzy, but he can't move his body.

Dazedly, he felt that someone was taking off his clothes. He wanted to resist but couldn't move his hands and feet, and fell asleep again drowsily.

Until he was full of sleep, Bai Bingchen woke up, and the sky was already bright. He remembered the strange touch in his dream, and his first reaction was to look down at himself.

Bai Bingchen sighed: It really was a dream.

He turned over and suddenly touched something under the quilt. He was startled and took several steps back.

"woke up?"

Bai Bingchen was still in shock, and was immediately hugged into a familiar embrace.

"When did you come?" Bai Bingchen hammered his back.

Mei Shao pressed his head against her chest, and said courteously, "Hear?"

"Huh?" Bai Bingchen scolded with a smile: "I know you came here to wash up this time, so you don't need to ask for a reward, right?"

Mei Shao looked at him with a smile, took Bai Bingchen's hand and rubbed it under the tip of his nose.

Following his movements, Bai Bingchen sniffed his cuffs, was stunned, and then turned his head guiltily.

It's the same fragrance.

Mei Shao hugged him from behind, and teased him, "What else do you want, mention it before I'm here, or you'll have to find someone to pass on the message, and get second-hand."

Bai Bingchen looked around and said to him, "Are you here in the middle of the night?"

"Not long after I went back, I bumped into the person you sent, so I knew..." Mei Shao intentionally pressed into his ear and said, "I knew Mr. Bai had no one to warm the bed and couldn't sleep, so I came. You have to wait for the adults to smoke clothes, and you are exhausted, but you still don't appreciate it, and you still turn your back on me."

Bai Bingchen turned around and asked in a low voice, "How did you smoke your clothes?"

Mei Shao saw a blush around his ear, which was as cute as a coral bead, and couldn't help pinching it twice.

"I'm afraid it will burn you, so of course I can't smoke it directly on you, so I'll take off your clothes... um..." Bai Bingchen covered Mei Shao's mouth and swallowed the obscene words.

"In such a windy and snowy day, if you let me be naked, you won't be afraid that I will freeze." Bai Bingchen said slightly annoyed.

"Is it cold? I'll cover it for you." Mei Shao hugged him tightly, sighed, and said with satisfaction: "From now on, your body will smell the same as mine."

"As long as you have these quirks all day long."

"You didn't do this? Yanfang, sleep with me again, I haven't woken up yet."

Bai Bingchen couldn't help but followed his back, "Sleep, I'll leave when you fall asleep."

-

Mei Shao was awakened by the smell of fresh fish soup. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, touched the empty space around him, opened his eyes and shouted, "Yanfang..."

Bai Bingchen, who was sitting at the end of the bed, was playing with something in his hand, when he heard that he stretched out his hand in Mei Shao's direction, "Here it is. Get up, I have a headache after sleeping for a long time."

Mei Shao held Bai Bingchen's hand, kicked off the quilt on the bed and turned around, leaned on Bai Bingchen's knee, eyes were not fully opened, pressed his neck and kissed him twice randomly on the face.

"Be careful with the carving knife!" Bai Bingchen hurriedly raised the carving knife in his hand so as not to hurt him.

"What are you engraving again? Today is my birthday, you have to accompany me, don't do it." Mei Shao buried herself in his abdomen and fell asleep for a while, her voice still carried the laziness of not waking up.

"You don't want a birthday present?"

Hearing this, Mei Shao opened his eyes, and in front of his eyes was one of Bai Bingchen's hands, with a small wooden seal on it. He fiddled with Bai Bingchen's hand, and then looked at the engraved words on the bottom of the seal. His handwriting, and the slender seal engraved handwriting on it, can be seen as Bai Bingchen's handwriting.

"Is this the private seal you engraved for me?" Mei Shao folded her palms together, raised her eyebrows and said, "Use your handwriting to engrave my private seal?"

Bai Bingchen silently took out another identical seal from his pocket, and showed him the bottom.

It was written in Bai Bingchen's handwriting, but in Mei Shao's handwriting.

Mei Shao took it over and compared it for a while. Seeing that the textures of the two seals were very similar, they were made of the same material, and the colors and textures were very familiar. That little-leaved red sandalwood that was carved out."

"En." Bai Bingchen responded, stroked the wooden seal and said, "It took half a day to remove two pieces of material that can be used as a seal, and my wrists are sore."

Mei Shao held his wrist and rubbed it, and asked with a smile: "I lied to you in Lanzhou, that's why? Originally, the word was to compensate you, but it was sent back to me. Don't you panic? "

Bai Bingchen picked up his coin and knocked lightly on the one in Mei Shao's hand, saying: "One for each person, no loss."

"You indulge me." Mei Shao hugged Bai Bingchen's waist and shook, "What should I do, I'm going to be spoiled by you."

Bai Bingchen looked at the fish soup simmering on the small stove. He had prepared it in the small kitchen and brought it to the room to simmer on a low fire. He could drink it when Mei Shao woke up. It is to indulge him.

"If you don't want to be spoiled by me, just get up and drink the soup by yourself, and the fish bones will be crispy after simmering." Bai Bingchen pulled his arm around him, and pulled him up.

Mei Shao sat up from the bed, taking advantage of Bai Bingchen getting up and leaving without paying attention, a slap was printed on his face, "I'm already crisp."

Bai Bingchen glared at him, got up and served him soup.

The fish meat was stewed soft, and the soup was delicious. Mei Shao was drinking from the bowl, while Bai Bingchen was helping him pick the thorns with the chopsticks.

In the dim winter light, with fresh fragrance, Mei Shao looked at the person who was drinking soup opposite, his brows were soft and huddled in the white mist, eyebrows and eyelashes drooping slightly, quiet but people couldn't take their eyes off.

Mei Shao suddenly felt that there was no better life than this.

The fish soup was full, and Mei Shao was about to take Bai Bingchen for a walk in the mansion to relax, but a young eunuch in the palace said that His Majesty invited them to the palace to have a simple meal for the New Year.

The New Year's Eve banquet is already a group of ministers paying homage to His Majesty, today is the first day of the new year, how can there be a courtier called into the palace on the first day of the new year? Wear official uniform.

The little eunuch was waiting outside, and His Majesty was in a hurry to summon him. It must have been Zhao Zhen's whim that sent someone to deliver the message.

Bai Bingchen was talking to the little eunuch outside after taking care of things, while Mei Shao was still dawdling inside, vaguely hearing the little eunuch say that the queen was there, he changed his mind, and ordered a few words to the little servant he brought .

Bai Bingchen saw that his servant ran out in a hurry, Mei Shao hadn't come out yet, so he urged him to hurry up.

Mei Shao murmured and stretched out her arms, and whispered in Bai Bingchen's ear, "It's all because the fish soup you boiled is so delicious. I just greedy a few bowls, and even the official uniform is tight."

Bai Bingchen glanced at the little eunuch who was leading the way with his head lowered, and without looking back, he secretly tugged at Mei Shao's sleeve, "Let's go."

It was not a day when they often entered the palace, Bai Bingchen and Mei Shao sat in the car sent by the palace, followed the little eunuch all the way to a pavilion in the palace, and saw the emperor and empress playing chess in the pavilion from a distance.

Bai Zijin was facing the direction he came from, threw the sunspot in his hand, and said to Bai Bingchen, "Brother, if you don't come, I will be bullied to death by him."

Said that Bai Zijin gave up his seat, Bai Bingchen sat down with a smile and glanced at the few golden melon seeds left in front of Bai Zijin, and teased Zhao Zhen: "The emperor, he brought people to gamble, and he gambled so much. Your Majesty is not afraid of the imperial censor joining you?"

Zhao Zhen could tell at a glance that Bai Bingchen saw that this game had no chance of winning, and wanted to use such a high hat to cheat Bai Zijin back of the golden melon seeds he lost.

He held down Bai Bingchen's hand that wanted to disrupt the chess game, and said with a smile: "The censor participates in state affairs, not in family affairs. I will close the door and come home to make fun of the next year. I can do countless things."
