Chapter 20: | 【20】

Lin Feilu left Cuizhuju and did not immediately return to Mingyue Palace.
Overnight, the snow has accumulated, and the red glazed tiles are covered in silver, which is really beautiful. On both sides of the road, there are palace people sweeping snow, which is much more lively than before.
When approaching Yaohua Palace, Lin Feilu sent away the green smoke and went back first, "I'll talk to the elder sister Huang, it's cold outside, you go back to the palace first."
Qingyan now knew that the little princess and the eldest princess had a good relationship, so she no longer worried, and left after responding. Lin Feilu took on the cloak, held the stove in his small hand, and walked briskly over.
The palace man guarding the door saw her and glanced at each other. After saluting, Lin Feilu asked, "Is the eldest sister emperor here?"
Gong Ren said: "Please wait a moment for the five princesses, and the slave and maid will report."
Lin Feilu nodded, and the maid came out after a while, lowered her head and said: "Fifth princess, Concubine Hui is waiting for you inside."
This Yaohua Palace is really an unfriendly place.
Lin Feilu sighed inwardly, with a cunning look on her face, stepped in with small steps.
As soon as I walked through the front hall and entered the courtyard, I saw Concubine Hui sitting under the eaves in front of the door, with a carbon stove at her feet, holding a leather hand cage in her hand, leaning lazily on a chair, looking coldly. Holding her.
There were also two court ladies standing beside them, looking at this posture, it looked like a trial in three courts.
Lin Feilu saluted her: "Meet the Concubine Hui."
Concubine Hui replied with care, without changing her sitting posture, and asked quietly: "Are you here for the princess?"
Lin Feilu lowered her head, the hood on the cloak was slightly lifted, as if hiding her whole in the cloak, looking small and thin, "Yes."
Concubine Hui asked again: "What do you do with the princess?"
Lin Feilu replied: "Xiao Wu made something and wanted to give it to Sister Huang."
Concubine Hui snorted, propped her head and said: "You have a heart." She gave her a condescending look, and said quietly: "The princess is taking a nap, since you are so caring, just wait here for her to wake up. , Give it to her by yourself."
The snow was still falling, and there was a tendency to get bigger and bigger. After talking for a short while, Lin Feilu had already fallen on a layer of snow. Hearing her embarrassment, the little figure under the cloak seemed to tremble a little, but in the end it just replied, "Yes."
Concubine Hui curled her lips and looked at her for a while, as if she felt bored, and told the maid: "Go back to the house, my palace is exhausted."
As soon as she left, Lin Feilu was the only one left in the entire yard.
There was no sound around, only the soft sound of snow falling. Lin Feilu stood with his head down, holding the stove with his small hand in his sleeve, and yawned boredly.
This concubine Hui is not easy to deal with.
The main reason was that she had a deep grudge with Concubine Xian. She was the first to take refuge in Concubine Xian. In her eyes, she was already from Fei Xian's faction. She often ran around in the palace. She was so small that no one would find her when she squatted into the grass, and she eavesdropped on a lot of corner gossip.
It is said that the reason why Concubine Hui and Concubine Xian are so powerful is because Concubine Hui was pregnant with her first child when she was in the East Palace, but she had a miscarriage due to Concubine Xian. That was the first child of Lin Di, maybe he was still a son.
Concubine Hui had the chance to give birth to the eldest son of the emperor, but she was ruined by Concubine Xian. It was only after Emperor Lin became the throne that she could not conceive and give birth to the princess again.
If it were a prince and the eldest son, she might be the one sitting in the seat of the imperial concubine.
Such a deep hatred, it is estimated that this life will be endless.
Lin Feilu thought about it and thought it was a bit difficult to attack Concubine Hui, unless she had an antagonism with Concubine Xian. But these two are both concubines, there is not much difference in all aspects, and the change is almost the same, so let's forget it.
A long princess is enough.
However, this concubine Hui also seemed to have a low IQ. Knowing that her daughter has a good relationship with her, and still embarrass herself so much, isn't this actively splitting the relationship between her and her daughter?
Although Lin Nianzhi respected her and loved her, she would complain a bit in her heart, and she would be more pity and love for herself.
If she is Concubine Hui, she will do her best to spoil herself, ignore the princess, let the princess watch her mother and concubine’s love transfer to another person, and often compare the two, step on one hand, and promise not to After three days out, the eldest princess will break off her friendship and have no contact.
Hey, these concubines in the harem are still too tender.
Lin Feilu didn't find it hard to endure thinking about the sky. These ancients did not go out of the gate and did not step forward, and they had to breathe after taking two steps. Their physical fitness was really poor. For them, the penalty station on the snow was a heavy penalty.
But Lin Feilu hasn't stopped exercising since he called. Recently, she has been practicing yoga with Xiao Lan. The little princess's weak foundation has long been strengthened by her. Apart from being a little cold, she has nothing else.
But in the eyes of others, that's not the case.
Lin Nianzhi's court lady who has been serving close to herself since childhood is the one who sent the snow fox fur to the brocade workshop last time to make clothes for Lin Feilu. She was called the five princesses who hugged the pomelo and looked at the five princesses who were about to become little snowmen. Up.
She knew that the master had a good relationship with the five princesses, and when the master saw this scene, she might feel uncomfortable and angry.
She kept watching the movement of the main house, and saw the lady of the palace next to Concubine Hui coming out lightly, guessing that Concubine Hui should have fallen asleep, gritted her teeth, and finally returned to Lin Nianzhi’s room and opened the curtains. Woke her up.
Lin Nianzhi was irritated to get up, and was woken up halfway, she wanted to get angry when she opened her eyes. Hugyou hurriedly knelt down and said in a low voice: "Princess, the fifth princess came to see you in half an hour. Empress Hui asked her to wait in the yard. She has been standing for a long time. It is snowing outside, and the fifth princess is still standing... …"
Lin Nianzhi's doze suddenly disappeared, so she turned over and sat up and asked her to bring her clothes: "Why didn't you call me earlier!"
Holding the pomelo in a low voice: "Hui Consort Empress just took a break..."
Lin Nianzhi knew why the concubine hated Xiao Wu, but she thought it had something to do with Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu was taken care of by Concubine Xian because she played well with Lin Jingyuan. Isn't it unreasonable for the mother to anger her?
If you look at it this way, doesn't Concubine Xian also want to befriend her because of Xiao Wu, and anger Xiao Wu?
Xiao Wu is not a human being, so pitiful!
While putting on her clothes, she ordered to hold the pomelo: "Go and ask Xiaowu to come in! Say I'm awake!"
Huoyou hurried to go.
Lin Feilu was soon led in.
She had already shaken the falling snow outside, but the cloak was fluffy, and it was always covered with broken snow. As soon as the temperature became warmer when she entered the house, it instantly melted into drops of water, condensed on her body, dripping drop by drop.
Lin Nianzhi saw that Xiao Wu's lips were freezing purple, so he quickly reached out and pulled her to the fire. The hand stove in her cuffs also became cold. Lin Nianzhi was angry and distressed. He asked the pomelo to replace the stove with new carbon. Lin Feilu was fierce: "The mother concubine lets you stand while you stand, don't you know how to leave? You will come again next time after I sleep, or let the court lady next to you send a letter, so you are not afraid of being foolish in such a cold day!"
Lin Feilu pursed her lips and smiled silly at her.
Another palace lady poured hot tea over, and she drank it all in one breath while holding the cup. Lin Nianzhi kept saying, "Drink slowly! And! You slow down and don't choke!"
After drinking several cups of hot tea and roasting it again, his body gradually warmed up. Lin Feilu took out a small pale pink box from his arms and handed it to her obediently: "Elder Sister Huang, this is for you."
Lin Nianzhi curiously took it over: "What? Rouge?" She twisted it and found that it was a pale white paste, fragrant and soft, and sniffed at the tip of her nose, "It smells good."
Lin Feilu said: "This is a hand cream, which can protect your hands by applying it on your hands." She lowered her eyes and added a little embarrassedly: "I made it myself."
Lin Nianzhi had dug a tuft and smeared it on the back of his hand. After the application, his hands were really smooth and tender.
No girl doesn't like something sweet and soft.
She looked at the hand cream and then at Xiao Wu, feeling very complicated for a while, and then asked after a pause, "You came to give me this?"
Xiao Wu pursed his lips and smiled: "Yes."
Lin Nianzhi was so touched. Pulled her over, patted her and pulled the condensed drops of water, and said angrily: "Next time you can send it to your palace maid, why don't you want to go there yourself."
Lin Feilu whispered: "Then I want to see the eldest sister Huang."
Lin Nianzhi blushed.
The two talked for a while in the house. Lin Nianzhi worried that the mother and concubine would be embarrassed by Xiao Wu again when she woke up, so she asked Baoyou to send her back.
Sure enough, the first thing Huifei did after waking up was to ask about Lin Feilu's situation. The maid told the truth. Huifei thought that her daughter would only wake up at this point. Why did she wake up early today?
She cleaned up and went to her daughter's room, saw her sitting on the couch playing with a rouge box, and asked, "What is that?"
Seeing her coming, Lin Nianzhi slipped the box into his arms: "It's nothing."
Concubine Hui: "???"
My daughter has never had a secret with herself. This is the child she raised with her own hands. Their mother and daughter have the same mind. Why are they still talking nonsense with their eyes open? !
Concubine Hui said angrily: "Did that little give you something?"
Lin Nianzhi frowned displeasedly: "Mother concubine, Xiao Wu is also a princess anyway, and is the daughter of the father's emperor. If you say that to her, if others hear her, it will probably be true."
Concubine Hui smiled angrily: "Are you blaming your concubine for that little bitch?"
Lin Nianzhi looked at her seriously: "I'm caring about my mother and concubine. Xiaowu is still a child, and she has nothing to do with the grievances in the palace. I hope the mother and concubine will not embarrass her anymore."
Concubine Hui was so angry that she didn't want to talk to her, turned her head and left.
Lin Nianzhi sighed silently, feeling so difficult.
...
The weather in Beijing has never cleared since that sunset. The heavy snow covered this royal city, and the new year was getting closer and closer.
At the end of each year, the Queen will hold a year-round banquet in the harem, which is a summary of the year. Xiao Lan was not invited in previous years. After all, there were many concubines in the palace, and those unfavored concubines were just like invisible people, no one remembered.
However, this year is different from the past, and Xiao Lan was included in the list with Concubine Xian. The princes and princesses will also attend the annual banquet, and Xiao Lan will naturally bring Lin Feilu with him.
This should be regarded as Lin Feilu's first participation in a banquet in the palace after her birth, and her first official appearance. Of course, she can't be careless. Concubine Xian sent a lot of new satin and new jewelry to Mingyue Palace to prepare Xiao Lan for her life.
All palaces are busy preparing for the year-round banquet, and only the quiet Zhaoyang Palace seems a little depressed.
Because of the evil things, few people came to Zhaoyang Palace. Later, Lin Xi was punished by the eldest prince and banned. Everyone did not want to offend the eldest prince Ruan Guifei because of her, and made a detour.
The entire Zhaoyang Palace was filled with a cold breath in the heavy snow.
It was dark early in winter, and in the evening, darkness fell with the broken snow. The lights in Zhaoyang Palace flickered and dimmed, and whispered voices were heard from time to time. No one noticed that there was a figure standing diagonally holding a sword on the quiet and cold eaves.
Until the night completely enveloped the palace, the figure was not hurried, lighter than the snowflakes flying in the sky, and no sound floated.
Inside the Cuizhu residence, Tiandong took the lamp to boil hot water, ready to serve His Royal Highness to wash.
When the shadow floated in from the courtyard wall, it passed over his head, and Tian Dong didn't notice it at all. It wasn't until the shadow entered the room that Song Jinglan, who was still reading in the room, looked up with a sense of feeling.
Upon seeing it, a sincere smile appeared on his face: "Uncle Ji, you are back."
The man standing holding the sword was expressionless, and coldly threw out a sentence: "Zhaoyang Palace."
Song Jinglan smiled and said, "As soon as Uncle Ji comes back, help me listen to the corner?"
The man's cold expression finally collapsed, overflowing with an awkward expression.
