After hearing what Xue Hengzhao said, Chi Su couldn't help but sigh: "This is really unpredictable and full of ghosts.
No wonder I have long heard that there are shocking steps in this deep palace. Someone as stupid as me could have been plotted to death, and he was still dreaming."
If Xue Hengzhao didn't explain what was going on here in detail to her, she would never be able to figure it out.
When I found out the truth, I felt cold all over again.
The water on the charcoal basin boiled, and Xue Hengzhao picked up the kettle and made himself a bowl of tea.
The tea smoke curled up, making Xue Heng's delicate face look hazy and misty.
There was no good tea left for them, just old tea foam. The water filled the bowl with water and they had to cover it with a lid for a while before they could drink it.
Chi Su added: "Do you recognize the guard leader last night?"
Xue Hengzhao shook his head: "I haven't been in Beijing all year round, so I don't even know the ladies from each family, let alone the men?"
"I do recognize him. His name is Yu Guming. He is the only son of Duke Dingguo and Princess Guangling. He is also the nephew of His Majesty.
Jin Yu'e and the others had gone to Tong'an Palace in every possible way, and Concubine Rong there was his maternal grandmother."
Chi Su said and suddenly laughed again: "You have met him face to face. Let me ask you, can you see anything wrong with him?"
"Except for speaking a little harshly, I don't see any obvious problems, unless he has a hidden disease." Xue Hengzhao said.
"Haha, let's just say you are smart, and you can really tell." Chi Su smiled and clapped her hands, "He has indeed had a stuttering problem since he was a child, but it's not serious.
He has also developed the habit of weighing his words several times in his mind before speaking out, and trying to keep his words short.
Therefore, people who don’t know can’t tell that he stutters, they just think that’s how he speaks.”
"That's a good idea." Xue Hengzhao smiled, "It's not a good thing for a man to talk too much, but he's not annoying."
"Several brothers in my family have some contact with him, and I have seen him from a distance once or twice before.
There are countless women in Daxia who want to marry him. One of my cousins had secretly promised him before, but in the end it was just a love affair.
Now that each of our families has been dismissed from office and seized titles, it’s so different that we can’t even think about it.” Chi Su looked sad after finishing speaking.
What makes her sad is not that her cousin and Yu Guming are no longer connected, because it is unlikely that the two of them will have a relationship.
Instead, I lamented the loneliness and misfortune of the family.
Thinking about her cousin, if there had not been this disaster, even if she could not marry her sweetheart Yu Guming, she could still be married to a member of a high family and live a life without worries about food and clothing.
But now he is in exile and cannot return to Beijing without an imperial edict.
I'm afraid they haven't reached the place of exile yet. The wind and snow are ruthless on the road, and I don't know how much hardship they have to endure.
Xue Hengzhao knew why she was sighing, but he didn't point it out. He just said: "There is no need to be too depressed. Things in the world are like chess, and winning or losing is often unpredictable. Besides, life is short, and you must learn to enjoy the hardships."
"What I'm saying is that I'm so worried that my hair is gray, and it's useless after all.
It's better to let go of your arms and be happy for a while." Chi Su smiled in relief. Although Xue Hengzhao had a cold temperament, he was optimistic. "Let me tell you an interesting story about the prince. Logically speaking, he should be feng defeng.
, If you want it to rain, it will rain, but you are a bit crazy.
Everything must be worn out, and those who follow it are those who follow it. They are not allowed to replace it.
The same goes for the things we use. The things we played with when we were children must be kept even if they are broken into pieces.
The funniest thing is that at the Winter Solstice Banquet when he was five years old, His Majesty rewarded him with a kumquat from Huainan.
He just held it in his hand and played with it, refusing to eat it or throw it away. Even after the fruit dried, he still refused to throw it away.
If it is enough, put it in a small wooden box, and take it out every few days to have a look.
My third brother once saw it, and when he came back he told us that the thing had shriveled out of shape, and the prince still kept it as a treasure.
People say that he must be a long-term lover. If he falls in love with a girl from another family, they will definitely be together for the rest of his life."
After hearing this, Xue Hengzhao couldn't help feeling cold and said, "What if someone doesn't like him? Will he forcefully marry someone else?"
She considers herself to be naturally unsympathetic and unrighteous, and is most afraid of such a person who is so infatuated and stubborn.
Chi Su was about to continue talking when she heard a voice outside asking in a medium voice: "Sister Xue, Sister Chi, are you all here?"
The person here is Lin Fufei.
She is extremely happy today. She has never seen her like this since she entered the palace.
As soon as I entered the door, I put a lot of things on the table, including food and useful things.
"Are you rich?" Chi Su opened the food box and found a steaming bowl of steamed taro meat.
"This is all thanks to Sister Xue." Lin Fufei's face turned red due to excitement and walking quickly, "The method she gave me really worked. The imperial kitchen cooked the best smoked pig, and all of a sudden
Three heads.
The Holy Lord Longyan was so happy that he rewarded all the people below him. Because that day was the birthday of the God of Fortune, everyone said that it was a blessing from the gods that made it possible."
"Then what rewards did you get?" Chi Su asked her.
"I got two bunches of money and a new set of clothes. The most important thing is that Aunt Zhuang changed my duties. I don't need to do any chores and hard work. I am responsible for counting in the book every day."<
/p>
"This job is really good, and the money you get is more." Chi Su was also very happy for her.
"Thanks to Sister Xue, if it weren't for her, I would still be the same little girl." Lin Fufei shrank her neck and said with a smile.
Then he added: "It's really scary that Mr. Qian is dead. I vaguely heard that stolen goods were found in this yard. Do you know what happened?"
"We slept so hard that we didn't know what happened." Xue Hengzhao wrote lightly, "If we say such things again, we probably won't be able to live here for long."
Lin Fufei didn't ask any more questions, she was more immersed in her own joy.
After sitting down and chatting for a few more words, Lin Fufei stood up and said goodbye: "I have to go, there is something else to do over there. Don't let people think I am getting carried away."
"Go quickly, we can get together when we have free time." Chi Su said, "There is no need to rush now."
Not long after she left, someone came over and told Xue Hengzhao and Chi Su to move out.
The two of them packed their things and walked out of the penthouse where they had lived for several days.
At this time, the sky was blue and clear, with no clouds at all.
Chi Su suddenly laughed and called Xue Hengzhao's name and said: "The sky knows how to match the weather. Since we entered the palace, it has been cloudy and sunny. Now the dark clouds above our heads are gone and the sky is clear."<
