People who think I'm ugly are so sweet

Qingcheng Mountain is haunted, after a long time of investigation, it turns out that there is really a ghost.Most of the ordinary people accepted this statement, and all the officials in the court were human beings, so they could see the twists and turns clearly.

On the night of Jiang Zhiyuan's accident, Xie Qingsu and Xu Taihe were both in Qingcheng Mountain. If they really pursued it seriously, they would have to drink tea in the yamen for a few days.One of the two is Xie Ji's only son, and the other is the mainstay of the Xie Party. Being investigated at the same time is a serious blow to the Xie Party.Now all the faults are on the fox demon, and today the last sentence "there is a ghost" will lightly expose the matter, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that today is deliberately defending the Xie party.

Standing behind the Shen family is the Empress Dowager Shen, while the Xie family has the protection of the emperor. The struggle between these two families turned out to be a game between the empress dowager and the emperor in the final analysis.There were even rumors that the emperor had turned his back on the empress dowager, and he didn't even go to the daily greetings.Only the palace servants who served them knew that the emperor and the empress dowager were still as usual, loving mothers and filial sons, at least it seemed so.

In the back garden of the imperial palace, Song Yanche and Song Yanqing were sitting opposite each other in the pavilion. There was a chessboard between them. One was holding black pieces and the other was holding white pieces, and they were concentrating on the game.

Song Yanche put down a chess piece, and suddenly felt a coolness on the back of his hand. He looked down and saw that it was a crystal clear snowflake.He looked out of the pavilion and murmured: "This year's snow came so early."

Liu Jinzhong looked outside, but it wasn't snowing already. "Your Majesty, it's cold here, why don't you go back to the palace first?"

"I want to enjoy the snow here."

When winter comes, Song Yanche's body will be weaker than usual, and he will cough and fever if he is not careful.Every winter, he has to stay by the stove, and rarely even go out, let alone enjoy the snow.

Liu Jinzhong brought a crane coat and put it on him, and exchanged a cup of hot tea for the two of them.Song Yanche wrapped the crane, got up and walked out of the pavilion, Song Yanqing also put down the chess pieces and followed.Liu Jinzhong was busy holding an umbrella for them, but Song Yanche shook his head, motioning him to back down.Cotton-like snow fell on his long and slender eyelashes, dyeing them a frosty color, making his face like a crown jade, gentle and beautiful.

The first snowfall in Chengning in six years came quietly. The snowflakes were only the size of rice grains and disappeared when they fell on the ground.

"If you want to come to the snow in the north, it will be a different scene." Song Yanche said softly, "Huiyang will get married in a few days, and everything is ready?"

Song Yanqing nodded, "Don't worry, Brother Huang, I will keep Huiyang safe all the way."

Song Yanche looked at his younger brother who had no resemblance to himself, and smiled slightly, "Huiyang's safety is second, and the most important thing is your safety."

Song Yanqing also smiled faintly, "My brother understands."

Song Yanche stretched out his hand and let the soft white snowflakes fall on his palm, "When I was young, I saw a picture of the snow scene in the north at my father's place. Thousands of miles of ice, snow and ice, between the sky and the earth, I was at a loss. At that time, I thought, one day, how lucky I am to be able to see that scene with my own eyes. It's a pity..." He was weak and sick since he was a child, and he had never even been out of the palace before he became the throne.He used to live in Fenghua Palace with his mother, and every day when he opened and closed his eyes, he saw the red palace gate. "I have always envied you, Qing'er. Every time my father goes on tour, he takes you with him, and even several princesses follow him to the south of the Yangtze River. Only Zhen..."

Song Yanqing felt inexplicably guilty, "Brother Huang was in poor health at that time, and Emperor Father had no choice but to keep you here. Now Brother Huang is in good health, so he can go wherever he wants."

Seeing that the snow was getting bigger, Liu Jinzhong persuaded him again, and Song Yanche agreed to return to the palace. "Qing'er, send me back."

On the way back to Qinzheng Palace, Song Yanche suddenly said: "What did you find out about the banshee in Qingcheng Mountain?"

Song Yanqing Hao Ran, "Sure enough, you can't hide anything from Brother Huang."

Song Yanche smiled, wondering if it was because the snow on his eyelashes had melted, his eyes seemed gentler than before, "You prevaricate by talking about ghosts, you must be determined to protect the real perpetrator?"

"Brother Huang, he didn't do this because of party disputes." Song Yanqing explained, "Jiang Zhiyuan intends to belittle innocent women and force them to become concubines. Xi... the fox demon also wants to eliminate harm for the people."

Song Yanche said with a smile: "The fox you are talking about is Xu Tai and his eldest son, Xu Xuanying?"

Song Yanqing was stunned.Presumably, the friendship between him and Xu Xuanying these years, the emperor's brother has seen it in his eyes, so he will naturally suspect him.

"It's not him?" Song Yanche was slightly surprised, "Then I can't guess who it is."

Song Yanqing neither said yes nor said yes, but said: "Brother Huang, can you let him go this time? My younger brother promises that he will take good care of him in the future and will not let him cause trouble again."

"Who is it that allows you to protect you like this?" Song Yanche asked curiously, "I want to see and see."

Song Yanqing seemed a little uncomfortable, "If there is a chance, my brother will bring him to see the emperor."

Song Yanche said with a smile: "So, then I will wait."

When the two returned to Qinzheng Hall, the snow was already as big as a goose feather.Song Yanche took off his helmet, took the stove from Liu Jinzhong, and said, "Today's game is not finished yet."

Song Yanqing smiled, "When I come back from Northern Xinjiang, I will finish this game of chess with Brother Huang."

After Song Yanqing resigned, Song Yanche sat back in front of the memorial.He is the king of a country, and the things he does every day are just those few things. "Jin Zhong."

"The old slave is here."

"She...does she have any news?"

Liu Jinzhong's face froze, as if he was facing a big enemy, "Back to the emperor, General Xiao Yu has turned the capital upside down, but he has never found the girl. The old slave thought that the girl might have left the capital." , have sent more people out of the city to look for it.”

Song Yanche lowered his head and smiled, "Jinzhong, did I have a dream?"

Liu Jinzhong said cautiously: "But your majesty, that jade hairpin does exist."

"Or, there are really fox demons in this world, and she is one of them."

"emperor……"

"I can't find it, I can't find it anywhere..." Song Yanche's eyes were gloomy, and he clutched the notebook tightly with both hands, as if he was trying his best to bear something. "Where, where... Where the hell is it!"

The playbook in Song Yanqing's hand was torn in two, lying innocently on the ground.

"Your Majesty!" Liu Jinzhong knew that he was about to fall ill again, so he hurriedly said, "Hurry up and announce the imperial physician!"

"Get out!" Song Yanche, who was still as gentle as a cloud just now, seemed to have changed. His eyes were flushed, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his chest heaved violently, "Get out!"

"Your Majesty!" Although Liu Jinzhong had seen his terrifying appearance several times, he panicked now, "I will definitely find that girl for the Emperor, and please take care of the dragon body!"

After an unknown amount of time, the maids and eunuchs of Qinzheng Palace knelt down on the ground.Song Yanqing's breath gradually calmed down, and the redness in her eyes also slowly faded away. "If you find it, lock her up." He smiled slightly, his smile was as beautiful as spring, "Or break her legs so that she can't go anywhere but stay by my side."

Winter has come.

In the Tidal Pavilion, the charcoal basin was burning vigorously, and Xing Nong was packing Xu Xilu's luggage for going north.It is a long way from the capital to northern Xinjiang, and it will take two months to go back and forth smoothly, not to mention that in winter, the official roads are often closed due to heavy snow, pedestrians can walk through the snow, but if the carriages want to pass, they have to be shoveled by people Xuetong, going back and forth again and again, must delay a lot of time.

Xu Xilu was named as a staff officer in the imperial army, and he had to stay with the imperial army for food and lodging.Even so, Xing Nong still prepared a lot of dry food for him, Xu Xilu said: "Bring more melon seeds or something, so as to pass the time on the road."

Jiudong asked curiously: "Master, don't you want to ride a horse? How do you eat melon seeds on the horse?"

"Do I want to ride a horse?" Xu Xilu hadn't thought about this yet, "But I don't know how to ride a horse."

Xing Nong guessed: "Isn't the staff officer a civilian job? The second master should be able to take a carriage, right?"

Several people were discussing, a little girl in the courtyard said: "Second Master, Xianxian from Yinyan Pavilion is here."

Xianxian is Xu Anning's personal maid, she is only eleven or twelve years old.After returning from Mount Qingcheng, Xu Anning's spirits improved a lot.It's just that he doesn't like to meet people very much, unless he has something to do, he hardly leaves his yard.After she learned that Xu Xilu was going to go to northern Xinjiang, she stayed up for several nights to sew a pair of knee pads, and asked Xianxian to send them to Chaoti Pavilion.

Xu Xilu asked Xing Nong to put the knee pads into the luggage, and asked Xianxian, "How is Miss San?"

Xian Xian crisply said: "Miss is in good health, but she can't sleep well at night, often has nightmares, and can't fall asleep after waking up, so she can only stay up half the night."

"You take good care of Third Miss. If she feels any discomfort, go to Fuqu Pavilion to find Dr. Pan."

Xianxian replied obediently: "Hey, I remember it."

Before leaving, Xu Xilu first met Xu Taihe.What Xu Taihe said to him was nothing more than clichés, let him serve Prince Duan wholeheartedly, remember to be strict and self-disciplined, and not to shame the Xu family.

After that, he went to Fuqu Pavilion to meet Mrs. Xie.Mrs. Xie told him to put his own safety first in everything, and he must take care of himself first before taking care of others.

Xu Xilu responded one by one, and said: "I will leave, at least two months, at most half a year. There is one person, I would like to ask Mrs. Xie to take care of me."

"You mean Miss San?"

Xu Xilu nodded, "An Ning is not in good health, but her mind is pure. In the days when I'm not around, I hope Mrs. Xie will take care of her."

Xie said with a smile: "An Ning is elegant and sensible. I have always liked her very much. Now that her biological mother has passed away and her elder sister has entered the palace again, she is a bit lonely in Yinyan Pavilion alone. Don't worry, I will look for her from time to time. She came to talk to relieve boredom."

"Besides that, there is one more thing." Xu Xilu said, "I heard that recently, many people have come to Xu's residence to marry her?"

"Indeed, your father has also paid attention to this matter. He is in charge of An Ning's marriage, and Madam cannot intervene."

Xu Xilu smiled lightly, "Oh, I hope so."

"Except for the master, I have some contacts in Beijing. If there is really a young man of the right age with good character and family background, I will talk to the master."

Xu Xilu thought for a while and said, "The most important thing is to like An Ning.",

On the last night before leaving, Xie Qingshen organized a small bureau, and invited a few children from aristocratic families who were close friends with Xu Xie's family to practice for Xu Xilu.

In the evening of early winter, there are far fewer boats on the Xun River than in spring and summer.Tourists are unwilling to go out to suffer the cold in the boat, and so are Xu Xilu and others.After drinking for three rounds, several people were a little overwhelmed. Shangguan Chen took Xu Xilu and asked him to swear to God that he would return to Beijing before March next year and go to Shangguan Mansion to see him marry Miss Yao; Xie Qingshen loved to hug people when he was drunk The problem of crying still hasn't changed, this time I'm crying because I'm so exhausted from working outside every day, and I don't even have a bed warmer when I go home.Xu Xilu was repeatedly fed alcohol by several people, no matter how good he was, he couldn't stand such torture.After laying down a few people, he himself was only two or three minutes awake.Xie Qingsu was as reticent as ever, just had a few drinks, and a seductive blush appeared on his fair face.Xu Xilu looked at him, his chest felt slightly hot, and the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably.

Xie Qingsu noticed his gaze and asked, "What do you see me doing?"

Xu Xilu said through his drunkenness, "You look good."

"..." Xie Qingsu opened his mouth, looking like he wanted to speak but didn't know what to say, it was really cute.

Xu Xilu passed Shangguan Chen and Xie Qingshen, who were already drunk and unconscious, and staggered to Xie Qingsu's side, "Do you want to go out to sober up?"

On the deck, the biting cold wind blew on his face, Xu Xilu felt that the alcohol had faded a bit, but Xie Qingsu's face turned redder, and he didn't know if he was frozen.Xu Xilu subconsciously cupped his cheeks with his hands, and muttered, "Is it still cold like this?"

Xie Qingsu froze and grabbed his wrist, "Xi Lu, you're drunk."

"Alcohol does not make people drunk..." Xu Xilu murmured, "I wanted to get drunk myself."

Xie Qingsu stared blankly, like a deep pool with no bottom to see, then he asked hoarsely, "Will you miss me when you go now?"

"En?" Xu Xilu squinted his eyes, feeling that he was even more drunk, and everything in front of his eyes seemed to be covered with tiny glimmers of light.He took advantage of the opportunity to bury his head next to Xie Qingsu's neck, and smelled the faint fragrance of ink on his body as he wished. "I will give you a gift, what do you want?" His voice was muffled, but his breath was hot.

Xie Qingsu blurted out: "Yu..."

Xu Xilu raised his head and looked at Xie Qingsu with blurred eyes, "What jade?"

"The jade your mother left you." Xie Qingsu's voice was blown in the cold wind, "Can you give it to me again?"

Xu Xilu was stunned, "But you are Xie Qingsu."

"I'm."

Xu Xilu only felt that his mind was in chaos, and he said his thoughts in a daze, "I shouldn't, I shouldn't seduce Xianjun."

Xie Qingsu understood such an endless sentence.

"Alcohol is not intoxicating, everyone is drunk," he said softly, "Do you know what the next sentence is?"

"kindness?"

"Flowers are not charming, but people are fascinated."
