"Dong - dong dong"

The sound of banging at the third watch sounded particularly lonely in the cold night.┃26nbsp;┃

I don’t know when a crystal snow bead appeared under the dark sky, slowly growing in size, and falling on the dead branches and hard soil like sugar. Before a thin layer could accumulate on the bluestone corridor, it suddenly grew in size.

It is fluffy and falling all over the world. It is obviously an extremely cold thing, but it is incredibly fluffy and warm under the background of the dark night.

The room was peaceful and quiet, except for the thick silver-plated incense burner with intricately carved hollows that was still blowing out curls of white smoke. Through the dim light of the palace lantern in the corner of the room, one could see the luxurious and huge red rosewood hanging flowers inside.

Begonia flowers surround the bed.

The bed has been replaced with a heavy winter curtain embroidered with magnolia flowers. In the embroidered quilt, a pair of figures cuddled together, sleeping sweetly, and even the air was full of delicate charm.

The house was already burning with earth, and the bed was covered with thick cotton mattresses. Coupled with the stove-like chest of the man next to him, a little sweat oozed from Yu Zhu's fair forehead. He unconsciously stretched out his hand outside the quilt and took it with him.

As soon as my sweaty palms touched the slightly cool satin quilt, I felt cool.

"Come over, it's so hot." Yu Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, and turned over again in a daze, and soon his breathing became even.

Cheng Xunxun was already alert and opened his eyes immediately when he felt the movement.

With the faint light coming in from the open-carved baffle, he smiled slightly and stuffed Yu Zhu's hands that were stretched out from the quilt back into the quilt again, taking the opportunity to roll her and trap her in his arms again.

The girl who was sleeping soundly could not see her face clearly, but the feeling of comfort and warmth came to her face.

Is sleeping so enjoyable?

Cheng Xunxun rubbed her warm cheek and suddenly felt that he couldn't sleep. In his opinion, sleeping was just a way to replenish physical strength... But she was different. Cheng Xunxun couldn't help but reach out and pinch her round nose.

You take every opportunity to sleep during the day and still sleep so well at night. Could it be that you are tired from preparing for the New Year recently?

I made up my mind to ask questions tomorrow morning...

When Yuzhu opened his eyes again, there was already light in the curtain.

She had woken up from the heat, her clothes were wet and stuck to her body, and her exposed neck felt a bit cold, probably because she was wet with sweat and then dried.

He pushed Cheng Xunxun hard with both hands. Looking at his current position, he was probably sleeping together all night long. No wonder it was so hot.

This large stove is really overpowered, I wonder if I can add less charcoal...

"Are you awake?" A man's slightly hoarse voice came from above his head. From Yu Zhu's angle, he could see his handsome chin, which had sprouted short green stubble overnight. He couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

.

It does not irritate the hand and is very comfortable to touch.

The soft body in his arms carried a faint fragrance. Cheng Xunxun didn't care about her bold movements, enjoying the comfort of this moment and hugging him for a while before saying: "Move again?"

"Hey, don't you dare." Yu Zhu sensitively felt the changes in the man who was close to him, and sat up with a smile, "Xunxun, do you want to go out today?"

Hearing this call, Cheng Xunxun was angry and funny at the same time. He just asked her to call his name at a special moment. This little thing was very brave. He dared to call her husband like this, knowing that she was sensible. Cheng Xunxun

After resisting for a while, I had no choice but to let her go.

"I want to go with my father and eldest brother to meet some elders."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Ruo's somewhat cautious voice came from outside: "Second Master, Madam, it's the first day of the new year."

The sad thing about being a wife is that there are always a few days every month... that you have to get up early

She slept well last night, but Yu Zhu didn't feel any pain at all. While calling the maid to come in and serve, she patted Cheng Xunxun's shoulder virtuously, "Second Master is usually busy with official duties, so please sleep a little longer."

After taking a hot bath, I put on a small sunflower coat covered with thorns and branches and came out. Cheng Xunxun had also gotten up.

The two had breakfast together, and then went to pay their respects to Mr. Xie.

Before winter came, Xie's place had been burning with earthworms. Now that it's snowing, they are even more focused on keeping warm. They can sweat even if they stay in there for a while.

Especially since Cheng Xunxun was very energetic, he just changed his single robe into a double-faced robe on a snowy day, but he suffered a lot, and soon he was sweating all over his forehead. Yu Zhu glanced at the sky and handed him the handkerchief.

The cooperation was so tacit that Mr. Xie didn't even notice.

After waiting for a while, Cheng Xunggong, Cheng Siyi, and Mrs. Ji also came. Because today Yuzhu had to prepare many things for the New Year, and Cheng Xunxun also had something to do, Mrs. Xie didn't stay with them. She asked a few questions about Ji's health, and then

Sent everyone out.

Yu Zhu walked out of Siqian Hall and sighed slightly. She must still have some grudges. After the Jiang family ended up like that and caused the Cheng family to fall into despair, it is impossible to say that she doesn't have any grudges against the Lin family...

However, Yuzhu didn't push too hard. Although Mrs. Xie couldn't treat her as well as before, she was at least very nice and angry... Why should she bother her so much? There is no perfect relationship in life.

After the cards were dealt, and thinking that Mr. Xie was almost ready to take medicine, Yu Zhu went to Siqian Hall again.

Although the family is not lively with a small family, the benefits are obvious. In the past few months, apart from the housekeeper, she only has to pay attention to Sister Xin. Mrs. Xie is not the kind of mother-in-law who has to torment her daughter-in-law all day long, so her life is quite relaxed.

Maybe she was a little late, but Yang's mother was holding the medicine bowl that Mr. Xie had finished drinking and putting it on the small tea tray.

"Have you finished everything today?" Mrs. Xie took a sip of tea to remove the bitter taste in her mouth, then raised her head and said, "If you are unsure, just ask Mother Yang. There are many things to do during the New Year, but don't do it.

Smashed."

Mother Yang smiled and waved her hands: "This is going to kill me, please don't make fun of me."

Yu Zhu chuckled and said, "Mom, don't worry...How about I pick up Yang's mother and do hard labor for a few days?"

"Why do you look like a monkey?" Xie's face didn't freeze after all, and she looked at Yu Zhu with a look of disgust.

After finding out Xie's temperament and knowing that she was not blaming her for being like this, Yu Zhu simply got tired of her for a while. Most elderly people long for the closeness of their juniors.

Sure enough, although Mrs. Xie didn't talk much, her eyes looking at Yu Zhu were gentle and joyful.

…

Compared with the happiness of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the mother and daughter in the palace are not so easy to get along with.

The Queen Mother was sitting on a thickly cushioned rosewood armchair with the Chinese character "Shou". Her face was livid, and her delicate face was full of resentment. Her well-maintained white hands were clasped and loosened, and then clasped several times.

After going back and forth, I calmed down a bit.

Aunt Yu looked at her expression carefully, and then she dared to say: "Queen Mother, please calm down." In the past, the master relied on her, but since the fourth prince successfully ascended the throne, she has to be careful...

Although it was given by the old lady, if you don't see the form clearly and make the Queen Mother unhappy, it would be too easy for someone to disappear quietly from the palace.

"Ai Jia is not angry at all." His tone was almost gritted teeth.

In fact, although the Queen Mother's temper was not very tolerant in the past, she was not so easily angered... Aunt Yu sighed, after all, she became the Queen Mother and the Emperor's biological mother. Although she was not as noble as the Queen Mother, she still

Even though there is only one queen mother in the palace, she is still very confident. With the filial piety of the emperor and the queen, she is even more confident...

If this continues, I'm afraid my life won't be easy...

"Princess Zhuyi's petty fights have no effect at all. If you are angry with her, it will destroy your own body. Your body is more important."

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and sneered: "This princess has lived in the north for a long time, and her brain is not working well. What good will it do to her to anger the Ai family? She has been acting evil again and again. The Ai family really cares about her."

Isn’t that the eldest princess’ identity?”

Aunt Yu hesitated for a while, and then expressed her thought over and over again, "I feel that Princess Zhuyi did this on purpose."

"Oh, what does this mean? Does the Ai family look so easy to fool?" Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother suddenly frowned, a little surprised.

"If the princess of Zhuyi does nothing and stays peacefully in the palace, how will you deal with it?" Aunt Yu asked, her face a little uneasy.

The Queen Mother's hand wearing a luxurious finger cot gently touched the delicate embroidery on the bright yellow phoenix robe. She pondered for a moment and said: "Treat her well and she will live a noble life."

A trace of ridicule flashed in his eyes, "It will always be better than her life in the Mongolian tent."

Aunt Yu calmed down and continued: "Looking at Princess Zhuyi's methods these days, it seems that she is not reckless and has no scheming. Why does she insist on going against you while letting her live a good life?"

Seeing that the Queen Mother also showed a thoughtful expression, she breathed a sigh of relief. It was now several times more difficult for her master to calm down and think than before.

"So I boldly guess that the princesses of Zhuyi also know this. If she doesn't act according to common sense, she must be——." Aunt Yu bowed her head slightly: "I don't want to live that kind of life."

The Queen Mother's eyes brightened: "It makes sense." She was not stupid. After the layer of paper was punctured, she immediately had the direction.

"... She wants to go out to the palace, but she can't, and she doesn't have a consort..." After saying this, the Queen Mother suddenly froze, and looked at Aunt Yu in surprise, "This is actually the case."

Aunt Yu hurriedly smiled and said: "This is just a slave's guess, you just have to know it in your mind." Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, she dare not take responsibility.

The Queen Mother smiled slightly and said gently: "You are just too polite and impersonal." She was obviously in a good mood. The annoying problem was solved and she was in the mood to make some jokes.

If there are no rules, there is no human touch. Aunt Yu smiled respectfully, but she couldn't help but feel chills in her heart.

She is not young anymore, and she doesn’t know if she will have the chance to leave the palace in this life. This palace is really not a place for people... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and hit
