"Ruoshui——" Governor Wu's voice interrupted the whirlwind of praise.

The ladies of each family quickly fell silent when they saw the visitor, and everyone couldn't help but take a step back. Although the brave girl kept looking at Shangguan Jue and others with the corner of her eye, she still didn't dare to do it at this time.

Get ahead.

Wu Ruoshui smiled slightly, stepped forward and saluted: "Father!"

Wu Xiao pointed at Shangguan Jue beside him: "This is the Crown Prince of Qin and the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army."

This time it was considered a close encounter. Wu Ruoshui almost grew up in the northwest because of Wu Xiao, but she looked down upon the people in the northwest. For a time-traveling girl who is unique in her life, her

Life must be filled with countless princes and princes. Of course, when she was a little older, she began to pay attention to the situation in Beijing. In her opinion, one day she would go to Beijing. As the economic, cultural and political center of the Great Xia Dynasty,

That's where she, a time-travelling girl, should stay.

As for this Shangguan Jue, he looks pretty handsome and has enough status. Prince Qin is the regent, which can at least protect the Prince Qin's palace from collapse for the next twenty years. He can hide his abilities from everyone's eyes, and he is not merciless when it is time to take action.

He is so sinister that such a protagonist is obviously prepared for a time-traveling woman.

Thinking of this, Wu Ruoshui showed a decent but noble smile, saluted and said, "I have met the Crown Prince of Qin."

Shangguan Jue raised his eyebrows and said, "Miss Wu, you are polite."

Mrs. Wu over there came up to see the gift, and then led a group of people down. As long as she showed her face, the good things must be expensive enough, so that others can come up and grab them.

Wu Xiao was so satisfied with everything today, and sincerely invited him: "Your Highness, today is the Lantern Festival. Now that the Crown Prince is alone in the northwest, why not come to the Wu Mansion to celebrate the festival."

Shangguan Jue refused and said, "Master Wu, you are too polite. I won't bother you today. Let's go another day. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

The little fan over there had already brought the horse. Shangguan Jue turned over and got on the horse neatly. He clasped his fists at Master Wu and the others, flicked the whip, and the horse flew out like an arrow.

Wu Xiao couldn't help but look stunned. He really didn't expect that Shangguan Jue would refuse. Did he really have no interest in Ruoshui at all?

Shangguan Jue rode back home. As soon as he got off the horse, he went directly to the main courtyard. Before he entered the door, there was a burst of laughter. Shangguan Jue couldn't help but smile knowingly. He directly opened the curtain and went in. There was a burst of richness from the warm pavilion next door.

Shangguan Jue took off his heavy coat, walked in and said, "What are you eating? It smells so good."

The maids were so surprised that they all jumped up.

There was a pot on the round table, and the white soup was boiling. Next to it were very thin slices of mutton, vegetables, and dried mushrooms. They were Qingluan's favorite things to eat in winter. I originally thought that Shangguan would never eat them.

He would come back so early, so he asked a few maids to come to the table to eat with him. It would be more lively with more people, but he didn't know that Shangguan Jue had suddenly returned.

Shangguan Jueben had been sitting at the Moon Lake all afternoon. He couldn't get much warmth even in the greenhouse. Now that he saw the warm pot, he became interested. He pulled off his sleeves and said, "It's just right. I'll do it too."

Hungry."

Seeing his appearance, Qingluan couldn't help but smile and said: "Looking at you, you look like you have been hungry for a long time. How come Lord Wu, such a well-rounded person, actually starved our prince?"

Qingluan usually called Shangguan Jue by his first name, but occasionally when he was teasing, he would call him Prince Master. His voice was clear and crisp, and his slightly raised tone made people feel itchy.

Xia Zhi and others also looked at each other, so they quickly cleared the table and put on a new pot and a pair of clean dishes and chopsticks.

These girls have been with her for a long time. If they were to follow Shangguan Jue, they would not have the courage. Qingluan said: "You haven't eaten enough yet, so go next door and continue. I don't need anyone to serve me here."

Shangguan Jue naturally liked this kind of time when the two of them got along, so he followed up and said: "Just listen to your master and serve me another pot of wine." Thinking about the time when Qingluan was drunk and naive when he was in Beijing, he thought

It would be great if I could see that drunken style again.

Qingluan didn't know that Shangguan Jue had a serious face on his face, but he had already made up his mind. He even got up and personally prepared the sauce for Shangguan Jue to wash the pot with.

After Xia Zhi and others retreated, a pot of sake and two wine cups were brought to them in a moment.

Shangguan Jue boldly threw the mutton directly into the plate. It was swirling with the hot soup. After the color changed, he rolled up a chopstick and dipped it into the thick sauce. It was really refreshing.

Seeing how happy he was eating, Qingluan sat down and brushed him some of his favorite foods.

Shangguan Jue raised his hand to fill the wine cup with wine and said, "Aluan, on such a festive occasion, I would like to propose a toast to you."

Qingluan responded with a smile, but just took a sip. She also knew that her drinking capacity was not good, and she controlled it most of the time. Shangguan Jue drank it all in one gulp, but Qingluan just took a small sip intentionally.

, feeling slightly disappointed.

Qingluan had already eaten a lot before Shangguan Jue came, and he didn't have his good appetite at this time. Seeing that he had eaten half of the food on the table by himself, he couldn't help but said angrily: "If you like it, I can make it tomorrow.

Storing food late at night is no fun."

Shangguan Jue chuckled and felt eighty percent full, so he asked Qingluan to accompany him and eat half a cup of sake before letting others come in to take care of things.

The two of them rinsed their mouths and drank a cup of tea to relieve their tiredness. Shangguan Jue took Qingluan's hand and said, "Let's go, I've asked someone to prepare something, it's in the yard." He took the cloak from Xia Zhi's hand with one hand.

When putting it on for Qingluan, he didn't use the hand warmer, but held the hands tightly in his own.

Because he had just eaten the pot and the wine, Shangguan Jue's blood was strong, so his warm hands were more effective than the hand warmer.

As soon as he opened the thick door curtain, the cold air that hit his face made Qingluan squint his eyes. Shangguan couldn't help but rub the person tighter. The two of them stepped out together. Qingluan opened his eyes and couldn't help but be attracted by the courtyard.

I was stunned by the beautiful scenery.

There are ice lanterns hanging on the trees and under the corridor. They are really carved from ice and come in various shapes. What hangs under the corridor is a complete set of twelve zodiac animals. They are crystal clear, with little candlelight reflected inside.

Come on, it's really beautiful.

"When did you get it?" It was just time to eat the pot, so he had someone decorate it. Qingluan was very moved.

This ice lantern can only be found in cold places like the northwest. If it is hung outside, it will not melt for several days.

There were snowflakes in the sky again, and Qingluan stepped down the steps. With so many lights hanging in the yard, it was like daytime. The yellow light shone on Qingluan's body in circles, and her eyes were filled with smiles.

, the child suddenly became angry and picked up a ball of loose snow from the ground and threw it on Shangguan Jue.

Shangguan Jue pretended to be angry and gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I dare you, this is your reward." He said that he kneaded a ball without any courtesy, just to make Qingluan happy.

Throwing it at him, Qingluan dodged.

After laughing and joking for a while, Shangguan Jue stopped Qingluan from playing, and took her cold and red hands into his arms and said, "Okay, if you like these lights, let's stay for a few days. If we don't go in now,

I'm afraid I'm going to get cold tomorrow."

Qingluan nodded. After the two of them went in, they changed out of their clothes. When Qingluan came out after washing up, Shangguan Jue was sitting on the bedside wearing only a cotton undershirt, holding a hand

A book, Qingluan's footsteps slightly

She paused for a moment. She had just taken a hot bath and her whole body was warm. But when she saw Shangguan Jue, her heart felt as warm as if she had taken a hot bath. Shangguan Jue

She knows how busy she is.

He is still young and has little experience. When he came to Yuancheng, he not only had to convince the 100,000-strong army, but also had to teach the local officials of Yuancheng well. He also wanted to draw attention to the civil war in Beirong.

, often still reading at midnight, but despite this, he never forgot her, and even tried every means to please her.

As soon as Shangguan Jue raised his head, he saw Qingluan leaning against the door, looking straight at her. She had just come out of the bathtub, her whole body was full of tenderness and moisture, and her clear eyes were so straight.

Looking at him as if he were her treasure, this look is so easy to make people's hearts flutter.

Shangguan Jue put down the book in his hand, waved to her and said, "Come here quickly, what are you doing standing there stupidly?" There was a smile on his face, and his eyes were particularly bright.

Qingluan's heart was filled with emotion at this moment, and her body had already walked to the bedside before she realized it. She didn't even realize that her confused and naive look at this moment made the big bad wolf want to swallow her in one gulp.

"Jue, thank you." Qingluan approached the bed and said what she had always wanted to say.

Shangguan raised his eyebrows, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, patted the place beside him and said, "Thank you for what?"

Qingluan stupidly climbed onto the bed, snuggled up to his side, grabbed his hand again, lowered his head and said, "Those ice lanterns are very beautiful, thank you."

Shangguan Jue said: "Yes, you must know that I found the master with the most outstanding carving skills in this city and came out in a hurry. You also know that during the Lantern Festival, they are the busiest. Even if I use my identity, they all

Those who don’t buy it, after all the hard talking and urging, finally let him get the ones in the yard for me. If you just say thank you and that’s it, why do I feel like I’m at a loss?”

Qingluan was stunned for a moment, looked up at Shangguan Jue and asked, "Then what do you want?" She was really moved by Shangguan Jue's actions, her heart was overflowing, but she didn't know how to express it.

, and finally said thank you.

As soon as she finished speaking, she fell completely into Shangguan Jue's arms.
