In the early morning, when the first ray of sunshine came through, Luoxue woke up.
When I opened my eyes, I felt very cheerful.
Outside the window, magpies were chirping on the branches.
But as soon as the winter snow melts, the magpies have already arrived.
Happy to welcome the spring. Happy to welcome the spring.
But her spring was so bitter, remembering her dream last night.
Unexpectedly, now I can only talk to him freely in my dreams.
That dream was so real.
His stern yet gentle brows and his hard yet soft face surrounded her all night long, allowing her to finally sleep through the night until early morning...
"Empress, you're awake." Qi Bao heard the voice and walked in. Now that the Queen's belly was getting bigger and bigger, she didn't dare to be careless.
After all, although that incident was not caused by her carelessness, it was still due to her failure to protect her. She has always blamed herself, so ever since Luoxue became pregnant.
She was always there for him.
At night, he also stayed outside and did not dare to leave easily.
And she knew everything about last night.
"The Queen looks very good today." Qi Bao asked with a smile. She only knew that the Emperor came to visit the Queen last night, but she did not know that the Queen did not know about the Emperor's visit.
"Well, you'll feel better after a good night's sleep." Luoxue said softly, "It's been a long time since I slept until dawn."
"Slept until dawn?" Qi Bao looked at Luoxue with some confusion. It was clear that the emperor had been here in the middle of last night. Why did the empress say that he slept until dawn?
Luoxue looked at Qi Bao's surprised look and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Qi Bao didn't say anything in the end, he just shook his head: "Nothing." Maybe the emperor didn't wake up the empress!
Since the emperor didn't want the queen to know, she couldn't tell her.
Luoxue smiled faintly. Although she thought Qi Bao looked a little strange, she didn't pay much attention to it.
The spring scenery was wonderful. Looking out the window at the pleasant scenery, she said, "I want to go for a walk in the Royal Garden."
"Okay, my servant will accompany you." Qi Bao responded.
………………
As soon as I walked out the door, I saw the old man already waiting in the garden.
Luoxue sighed, this master really didn't look like a master at all. He didn't teach her any martial arts or anything, but he just wanted to wear her out of the palace all the time.
But he didn't have any evil intentions, so she couldn't blame him.
"master……"
she called.
The old man had already jumped in front of her with a smile.
She raised her hand, and a paper bag was held in front of her.
"Do you know what this is?"
"What?" Luoxue asked in confusion, her eyes looking at the paper bag in the old man's hand. It looked like it was wrapped with something edible.
The old man smiled proudly, flicked his hand, and the paper bun was released from his palm.
Three-color rice cake.
Looking at the rice cake in his hand, Luoxue's face showed joy: "Did you buy it?"
Unexpectedly, when did this master become so considerate.
This is the famous three-color rice cake from Sanhelou in Beijing. My family used to buy it every Chinese New Year.
This year, I was so preoccupied that I actually forgot about it. When I looked at it, a look of aftertaste appeared on my face.
The old man smiled, his face full of mystery.
"I didn't buy it, guess who bought it?" the old man said.
Luoxue frowned slightly, why should she think about it? If he didn't buy it, then Shui Yue bought it.
Thinking about it, only the jade-like man who has been watching over her and protecting her would do such considerate things.
Canglao saw Luoxue lowering his head, so he asked, "Can't you guess?"
Luoxue smiled and shook her head deliberately: "I can't guess."
"Hey, Brother Shuiyue said that you would never be able to eat such delicious rice cakes in the palace, so he asked me to bring them to you, but you couldn't guess that it was him. When did you become so stupid?
It’s over!” the old man croaked.
Luoxue just smiled: "I have always been so stupid."
"Then do you want to eat?" asked the old man.
Luoxue smiled and looked at the three-color cake with a sweet smile on her face: "Of course I want to eat it."
I thought that the old man was always going to make things difficult, but unexpectedly, he stretched out his hand and pushed Nian Gao away from her without saying a word.
Luoxue suddenly had some doubts. Could it be some kind of trick he had done?
Looking at him warily.
This old man has never been so easy to get along with.
The old man had a sly smile in his eyes. Seeing Luoxue's doubtful face, he smiled, stretched out his hand, took a piece and stuffed it into his mouth: "Don't worry, this cake is not poisonous, and even if I really want you
The thought of kidnapping him out, but I won’t do it if I don’t care about my little disciple! If you want to leave, you have to be willing to do so!"
Luoxue saw him speaking proudly and solemnly, but she felt even more suspicious.
However, seeing the glaring look on his face, I couldn't find any excuse not to eat, so I gently twisted a piece with my bare hands and took it into my mouth.
A thin layer of cold air filled the entire inner wall of the mouth, and the taste was truly wonderful.
Authentic three-color rice cake, so sweet, like honey...
The old man looked at Qi Bao with a smile on his face: "Bao girl, you can also have a piece. If you don't eat rice cakes, you can't celebrate the New Year!"
With that said, he kindly gave it to Qi Bao.
Qi Bao, on the other hand, is not as easy to be soft-hearted and embarrassed as Luoxue, and she can see that Cang Lao's rice cake is anything but simple. She glanced at Cang Lao calmly and shook her head firmly: "I won't eat it."
"Let's eat..." the old man said again enthusiastically.
Qi Bao still shook his head: "I never eat rice cakes!"
After saying that, she made a gentle gesture with her fingers behind her back.
After Luoxue ate the rice cake, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
The shadows of the old man and Qi Bao seemed to become more and more blurred, and the voices they spoke became increasingly unclear.
This old man actually poisoned her!
I was so shocked that I felt like I was about to fall down.
As for Cang Lao, when he saw Luoxue having an attack from the corner of his eye, the hand that was raised to Qi Bao suddenly stretched out and touched her acupuncture points, with a proud smile on the corner of his mouth.
Then, he supported Luoxue who was about to fall.
"Little disciple Luoxue, don't worry. This drug was specially made by me yesterday. It won't hurt the fetus. On the contrary, it is beneficial to the fetus. Well, it's so boring to be in the palace during the Chinese New Year. I'm already at the palace gate.
We've prepared a carriage, it won't make you bumpy..." He said with a gentle push, he was about to pick up Luo Xue.
But at this moment, hundreds of black-clad guards suddenly jumped out from all around.
Everyone looked at the old man calmly.
"You alone want to stop me?" the old man said. He gently put his hand down and gently placed Luoxue next to a tree, and then looked like he was ready to try.
