Xie Xiang

Li Lin is the most favored by her family's old lady, and everyone in Beijing knows about it, but only the emperor, who lives in the deep palace, doesn't know about it.If she knew, she would understand why Prime Minister Xie didn't let her go to the birthday banquet, and she must be happy for several days.

It's not good for Xie Yi to leave too early, until the birthday banquet was halfway through, and when it was coming to an end, she said goodbye first, even so, she was still the first person to leave the residence.

When I entered, there was still a twilight in the sky. When I came out, the moon was in the middle of the sky, the white snow reflected the moonlight, and the silver light shone brightly.The ministers were in the mansion, only a hundred steps away from the outside of the mansion. No one could have expected that the emperor was hidden in the luggage cart by the prime minister and was waiting outside the mansion.

Xie Yi opened the car door, Liu Zao had already fallen asleep waiting.

Xie Yi smiled, leaned in, and saw Liu Zao lying in the shadows under the moonlight and the dim light of the lanterns hanging high above the mansion gate. Her eyes were closed, she was sleeping soundly, her mouth was slightly pursed, and she looked embarrassed. Aggrieved look.

Xie Yi got into the car and gently shook her, "Your Majesty."

Liu Zao didn't respond, breathing heavily.

Xie Yi called again, "Mengmeng, wake up quickly, you're going to catch a cold."

Liu Zao opened his eyes in a daze, and when he saw her, he muttered, "It's been a long time." He turned over and fell asleep again.

I don't know how tired I was in the palace these few days, and I was so sleepy.Xie Yi took off his cloak and covered her body.Feeling the warmth, Liu Zao curled up her body so that the cloak covered her whole body.She still followed the heat source and moved to Xie Yi's side bit by bit.

Xie Yi shook her hand warmly, so he was relieved that she fell asleep like this.

When we arrived at Xiangfu, we thought it would take some effort to wake her up, but when the car stopped, she woke up by herself.

"Get out of the car when you wake up." Xie Yi said.

Liu Zao didn't move, sobered up for a while, and asked, "Will there be good food and wine at the banquet?"

Xie Yi knew what she was going to say, so she didn't answer and let her talk to herself.

Sure enough, Liu Zao couldn't hear her reply, so he got a little angry, and said, "You have delicious food and wine at the banquet, I only have dry osmanthus cake in the car." The osmanthus cake was because Xie Yi was afraid that she would starve her, so he ordered the attendants to find it. here.

"It's still cold in the car, and you're pissing me off again when you come back." Liu Zaoxu babbled, showing a lot of dissatisfaction.

Xie Yi finally said helplessly, "Why have I ever attacked you?"

Liu Zao was confident, "You don't hug me."

It was about getting angry and began to be unreasonable.Xie Yi stroked her hair and hugged her, Liu Zao contentedly put his face against hers, and his breathing eased little by little.

The hands are warm, and the face is also warm.Her car was sealed on all sides and decorated with fox fur inside, which somehow froze her, so she complained that "it was still cold in the car".But someone who just woke up can't be reasonable, not to mention that this person looks soft when acting like a baby, Xie Yi likes it very much.He hugged her for a long time and asked, "Are you happy?"

Liu Zao moaned twice, "Hungry."

Xie Yi patted her, "Get out of the car."

Most of the servants in the mansion have rested.

The family order waited in front of the door, rubbing his hands to keep warm, and when he saw the prince returning to the mansion, he rushed forward to meet him.

The prime minister also brought an emperor behind him, holding back his slack and lazy steps.Jialing saw the prime minister was about to salute, and caught a glimpse of the emperor behind her, he was taken aback, paused, and bowed down, "See you, Your Majesty."

Liu Zao didn't speak, and looked sleepy, like a cat whose fur hasn't been well groomed.Xie Yi quietly shook her hand, tapped twice on her palm, Liu Zao's fur all over his body smoothed out, he raised his chin, and said to Jialing, "You go on your own, there is no need to say anything."

Jia Ling looked at Xie Yi, and waited for her to nod before retreating.

Xie Yi led her through the vestibule, Liu Zao kept looking around.There were bamboos on both sides of the narrow road, and the bamboo leaves were covered with snow. Liu Zao followed behind Xie Yi, reached out to touch the bamboo leaves, the snow slid down and fell to the ground, as if he could hear the sound of snow spreading.She looked at it with great interest, and touched another bamboo leaf.

"What are you doing?" Xie Yi turned around and asked.

Liu Zao immediately withdrew his hand, turned his back behind, and replied, "I'll just touch the bamboo leaves." After finishing speaking, he felt too guilty, and said without confidence, "This is also my home, my bamboo, just touch it." It doesn't matter."

She seemed to be careless tonight, but in fact she was always a little anxious, as if she had something hidden in her heart, and it was hard to say it clearly.Xie Yi roughly guessed it, and she also touched the bamboo leaves, causing a handful of slender snow on the leaves to slide down to the ground, and then scattered with a bang.

Liu Zao's face was flushed red, and her exhaled breath condensed into white air, making her face a bit blurred. She lowered her head and said, "I won't play anymore."

"Mengmeng." Xie Yi called out.

Liu Zao looked up at her, the snow and moonlight were reflected in the clear eyes, shining a little bit.Xie Yi shook her head, "Let's go find some food."

There is also a little cook under the kitchen who is watching the fire.The fire in the furnace was red, but it wasn't blazing, it was just kept alive.

Xie Yi ordered her to step down, so she doesn't have to be on duty tonight.Then he was busy in front of the stove himself.Liu Zao wanted to light a fire for her.But starting a fire is not a simple matter, the size of the fire is extremely difficult to control.

But Xie Yi didn't push her away because of her clumsiness, and only told her "slow fire" or "high fire" from time to time.Liu Zao looked at the stove intently, held his breath, and calculated the timing of adding firewood. His concentration was no less than calculating the important affairs of a country.

In the back, I really figured out some ways for her, such as how to push the firewood to extinguish it when the fire is simmering, leaving only a handful of flames, such as how to add firewood to burn the fire to the maximum as soon as possible.

It was obviously a boring job, but she didn't feel bored.

After an hour, start the pot.

Xie Yi cooked a bowl of shredded chicken noodle soup.The chicken soup was boiled during the day, and the pheasants were used. At this time, the bones were boiled, and the soup was bright and fragrant. Xie Yi skimmed off the foam and continued to simmer in a casserole.

The noodles are kneaded by themselves, white and smooth, boiled in clear water until they are seven-ripe, and then let them cool to make the noodles soft and gluten, smooth in the mouth, and chewy.Then put the noodles into a bowl and pour over the hot chicken soup, which is delicious and fragrant.

Xie Yi took the food box and wanted to lead Liu Zao to the hall, but Liu Zao couldn't wait and refused to go, so he wanted to be here.

Fortunately, the Xiang's mansion is strictly controlled, and the place where the most oily smoke is produced under the kitchen is not greasy, and it is very clean.

Holding the bowl in his arms, Liu Zao began to gobble it up, as if the palace had been starving her and would not satisfy her.Xie Yi had never seen her have such an appetite, gulping, but not gulping it down, savoring carefully before swallowing, her concentration was comparable to stuffing firewood into the stove just now.

Liu Zao ate it all in one go, even drank the soup, her stomach was bulging, and her whole body was full of warmth.She exhaled lightly and said, "It's so refreshing."

Xie Yi patted her and told her to get up and walk. When she went to her bedroom, she happened to pass through the garden, and she was about to walk into the garden.

Liu Zao was curious, and while following Xie Yi, he asked her, "When did the Prime Minister learn the cooking skill?" Prime Minister Xie was very busy, where did he find the time to learn cooking skills, she is the Prime Minister, busy with world affairs all day long.Xie Xiang is very proficient in the craftsmanship of considerable talents, which can be seen from time to time.

"I learned it from the cook during the period of convalescence."

During that time when the genius doctor came to Beijing, her injuries after falling off the horse were also healed, but Liu Zao had to ask her to take care of her for a while, so she had nothing to do, so she went to the kitchen to learn some cooking skills.

Liu Zao let out a long groan, the tone of his voice changed a thousand times, and there was a wicked smile on his lips.

Xie Yi turned her head, looked into the bamboo forest, saw the snow in the bamboo forest as bright as the moonlight passing through the dense forest, and ignored her.

Liu Zao glanced at her from time to time, and bit his lip to keep from laughing out loud.After taking two more steps, she finally couldn't hold back, leaned her head closer to Xie Yi's ear, and asked with a smile, "Is it the skill you learned for me?"

It's really bad, if you know it, you know it, she insisted on telling it, which made Xie Yi shy.

Xie Yi walked forward quickly, Liu Zao chased her, tugged at her sleeve, and refused to let her go, "Am I right?"

She is really annoying, without the stability and majesty of the emperor.Xie Yi was so entangled that she couldn't help it, so she wanted to answer casually, just deal with it, anyway, His Majesty is a bit stubborn, but it's easy to deal with.

But as soon as she stopped and opened her mouth, she said, "For the time being, I only know this."

After she finished speaking, she felt embarrassed, saw the bedroom in front of her eyes, and walked over quickly.

Liu Zao was even happier, full of smiles, followed behind her, entered the room for a long time, still smiling.Xie Yi was helpless, sighed, and said, "How did you become so stupid, I couldn't see it when I was young."

It was obvious that she thought she was stupid, but Liu Zao smiled deeper as if he had heard some praise.Xie Yi had no choice but to turn her head away without looking at her, but after a while, she couldn't help but smile.

It's already this hour, so Liu Zao will not be driven back to the palace.

Candles were lit in the room, and the maidservants were sent away. Xie Yi leaned on the couch, feeling much more relaxed.

They were silent for a while, and finally it was Xie Yi who started the conversation first, "I have already mentioned the matter between you and me to Wen'er."

That's why Liu Zao came here today, but he just didn't know how to speak.Judging by Xie Wen's attitude, he knew it must be bad.She lowered her eyelids and said, "The first ups and downs I don't want to encounter are actually people we trust."

She had also estimated that the ministers would definitely oppose it, and the princes would also look at him with anger. Xie Wen might also be disgusted when he heard about it, but she didn't expect that he would feel that he wanted to draw a line with the prime minister's house.

"How did he say it?" Liu Zao asked.

Xie Yi would not tell her the exact words, but said, "I'm afraid he won't want to contribute."

Liu Zao smiled, his heart was filled with anger.A man who has been the emperor for a long time is bound to be the only one who respects me. Just as he was about to sarcastically say a few words, he saw the depression and disappointment on Xie Yi's face.

She suddenly came to her senses. To her, Xie Wen was just a minister who could be used for a while, but to Prime Minister Xie, he was still a very close junior. She taught him and cultivated him with all her heart and soul. of.

Liu Zao swallowed his angry words, and comforted him, "In other things, he is very filial. It can be seen that his heart is not bad. You have not misunderstood the person. Maybe he just couldn't accept it for a while, and after a while, he will come." I apologize to you."

She tried so hard to comfort her, Xie Yi bent her lips, and lowered her head slightly disappointed, "I just feel sorry for you."

Using Xie Wen is for her sake, and she agrees.Now that Xie Wen is unreliable, many things have to be re-arranged.But Mengmeng, she was so looking forward to her being able to enter the palace and live in the Jiaofang Palace, but because of Xie Wen, she had to postpone it until an unknown day.
