So cool and unrestrained

"No one can force me to do things I don't like, let alone my brothers."

"My father can't bear to pass on the throne to me."

Xie Chenyu drank slowly.

Xie Chenke's sharp eyes like a nighthawk stared straight into Xie Chenyu's eyes, trying to find any trace of falsehood.

It's a pity that Xie Chenyu has always been indifferent, drinking and eating meat smoothly, facing everything head on with an open look.

There is no concealment whatsoever.

Doubts were dispelled little by little, and Xie Chenke laughed again: "Sixth brother is really transparent, he doesn't pay attention to everything, and he lives a comfortable life."

"Why isn't it transparent? Those old ministers are not tired of fighting around all day long."

He rolled up his sleeves and took off the bone of his cock, drinking in the wind in a relaxed manner.

Xie Chenke finally laughed.

"It makes me a little envious, but it's a pity that I am a layman and can only do common things."

"The second brother has a newly married sister-in-law, and he is loved by the queen. He will definitely have a bright future in the future," the fifth prince Xie Chenmu said in a flattering tone.

"Don't make trouble, I'm a virtuous queen. She always treats us brothers well. I'm getting married, and you guys will be next."

"I'd better wait a little longer. I haven't fallen in love with anyone yet. You can't just marry a married woman."

The fifth prince was noisy, the other two people laughed, and the atmosphere was warm.

After three rounds of wine, the sky is approaching the fourth watch.

On the first day of the first lunar month, they had to hold a banquet to worship their ancestors, and they had to be busy all day long. After they had eaten and drank enough, they dispersed.

——

I have been busy for ten days during the Chinese New Year.

The palace was busy with banquets every day, and the palace never stopped for a day.

Zhao Liangdi has never been idle since the first grade of junior high school.

There were a few days in between when I was caught by the wind and cold, but I still got up to manage the housework. In Lin Ximeng's eyes, I was a model worker.

"I'm really not made to be a royal concubine. Who can stand it when I'm so busy?"

"As expected, His Highness loves me the most. I'd better stay in Zhuxiao Courtyard honestly."

Lin Ximeng held her chin.

"I'm just a little bored, what can I do?"

This redbud is good at it, so she came over to join in the fun.

"There are shops selling cats, dogs, flowers and birds outside. You might as well let Dagui go and see what the master likes."

Lin Ximeng's eyes lit up when she mentioned raising pets.

"I wanted to raise one before but couldn't, but now I finally have the opportunity. Then get one for me."

"If you want a kitten, it's best to have white fur and blue eyes. It doesn't matter if you don't have one. By the way, get a set of cat boxes and nests."

Dagui Maliaoer left and got it back within two days.

"It's a cold day. A little girl is selling it. She says it's the offspring of a cat at home. Even adults can't feed it, let alone a kitten."

"Half sold and half gave to me, and also gave me two bowls of goat's milk and a cotton nest."

Lin Ximeng chuckled.

"As long as you want the cat, what do you want her things for?"

"The slave has enough money"

Lin Ximeng settled the kitten, and asked Zijin to go to the kitchen to order chicken and duck internal organs, raw bones, meat, etc. for the kitten to eat, and gave him ten taels of silver as well.

The people in the dining room laughed when they saw it.

"This little girl is quite interesting. She uses money to buy things no one wants."

"Says he has a cat"

"Hey, it's good to feed people these days. Have you heard that there's another snowstorm in the north, and many people are starving to death?"

"I haven't heard of it. What's going on? The capital doesn't know about it?"

“It’s Chinese New Year, who dares to do such a thing so shamelessly?”

The two kitchen servants talked a lot. The speaker was not interested in listening, but the speaker was interested in listening, so the nobleman who came to get charcoal overheard them.

The charcoal fire in the backyard is pulled by truck to the dining room, and then taken away by people from each courtyard.

Dagui came here carrying a basket and heard this rumor accidentally.

After going back and saying it again, Lin Ximeng shook his head and thought hard.

"Then what, from now on we will all tighten our belts, no one else cares, and no waste is allowed in our yard."

“Eat when you need to and drink when you need to, but don’t waste it.”

Lin Ximeng kept in mind what her ancestors said.

Waste of food will be punished by God.

The three servants didn't dare to ask why, so they just obeyed.

——

The days pass day by day.

Lin Ximeng was living a leisurely life with the kitten in her arms, when suddenly the Queen sent someone to deliver a letter from the Feng family.

It was a little maid who pretended to be a rough messenger. She delivered the letter without anyone noticing, and looked at her with sympathy.

Lin Ximeng was wondering, and was stunned when she opened the letter.

"Grandma, are you gone?"

She looked out the window, snow was still falling.

It's almost the Lantern Festival, and when the first lunar month is getting cold, it snows in the capital several times in a row.

It thawed, froze and thawed again, and the three feet of ice on the ground almost never disappeared.

It's winter this year, so how cold will it be in northern Xinjiang?

I'm afraid even the elderly people can't bear it.

In her memory, in addition to her grandmother, she also had a frail mother and a virtuous aunt, and she didn't know what happened to these two.

Suddenly my heart ached and tears started to fall.

Qingqing happened to see this scene when she came in. She didn't dare to ask any more questions, and she only tried to persuade her after a long while.

"Master, don't think too much, we will always have a chance."

Lin Ximeng crushed the letter and gritted her teeth.

"It's a pity that I am also in jail. I am just a concubine of the prince's palace." If I hadn't worked for the queen, I might not have been able to save my life.

It seems that the sixth prince is about to fall out of favor, so what use will she have?

Maybe by this time next year, she won't even be able to receive letters from home.

On that day, Lin Ximeng didn't eat much for lunch or dinner.

I had nightmares for most of the night and started to have a high fever the next day.

Xie Chenyu didn't have time to visit, so he asked Zhao Hai to invite the imperial doctor. Zhao Liangdi also sent medicine several times like a weasel giving New Year greetings to a chicken.

Lin Ximeng just lay in Zhuxiao Courtyard, sick for more than ten days.

When he finally recovered from his illness, Xie Chenyu showed up.

The two looked at each other in silence for a long time, and Xie Chenyu finally spoke.

"What's the rush? As long as you obey me, I will protect your prosperity and wealth."

Lin Ximeng handed over the crumpled and tear-stained letter from home and smiled sarcastically.

"Why do you think I'm in a hurry?"

"I know His Highness's ambitions, and I also know His Highness' abilities. What else can I say?"

"I don't dare to hope for anything else. I just ask His Highness to think of something, even if it's okay to send a few quilts. I'm just afraid of my mother."

In fact, there wasn't much emotion, but there was a raw pain tearing at my heart.

This is probably the last person the original owner cares about, and he will not be able to rest in peace until he dies.

Xie Chenyu's face suddenly turned cold.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"
