Time went by leisurely.
Everything remains unchanged, the only thing that changes is the increasingly cold weather and the upcoming birthday of Shen Nanbao.
"Tell me what you want?"
Snow fell like wadding outside the window, densely packed, obscuring the skylight, and reflected on Xiao Yichen's face, which was gray and made his eyes particularly bright.
Shen Nanbao pursed his lips, "How can you be like you? You don't mind giving gifts to others, so what's the point of me keeping them?"
Xiao Yichen's porcelain face showed a rare hint of confusion, "What if what I give you doesn't please you?
Shen Nanbao glanced at him and said, "Then according to what you mean, you never cared about whether I liked or not the things you gave me in the past?"
Without saying a word, Xiao Yichen's ears turned red and he muttered: "I see you are also very happy, aren't you..."
The voice gradually became quieter... and a feeling of guilt was revealed.
Shen Nanbao couldn't help but touch the twin bells.
To say joy is indeed joy.
But when I think back to the beginning, when he threw away the jade pendant without knowing it, it was so heartbreaking that he couldn't even pick it up!
Shen Nanbao gained some temper, "When you mention this, I would like to ask you, was that jade pendant really given to me by the people of Pingjiang?"
As if someone had punched him, Xiao Yichen coughed dully.
A series of coughs penetrated Shen Nanbao's ears, causing her to squint her eyes, "No? Really?"
The porcelain white face moved closer, and the line under the thick eyelashes became more and more narrow, like a bright knife on Xiao Yichen's neck. He didn't even dare to make any big movements when swallowing.
But fortunately, Shen Nanbao withdrew in just a moment.
Before Xiao Yichen had time to take a breath, he heard a snort coming from her withered throat, "It turns out that the commander was happy with me back then."
She was born beautiful.
But such a smile is like that of a jade bottle on display. It is a kind of reserved and elegant beauty that makes people feel that it can only match it when viewed from a distance.
It’s not like now, when I let go, like the spring breeze, it makes people feel refreshed all over.
Xiao Yichen couldn't help but stretched out his hands, put his arms around her waist and brought her into his arms, "Not at that time."
Not that time?
When was that?
Shen Nanbao stared at the enlarged face, with a pair of smiling eyes, as if he wanted to cut her heart out.
Xiao Yichen naturally saw her confusion, and with a twitch of his mouth, he revealed a bit of coquettishness, "I am happy for you when you speak out for justice."
Speak uprightly?
She couldn't remember ever speaking up before that...
Shen Nanbao was stunned for a moment, and waves of hot water covered his face, "It was the time of the 'Gong Tian Law'."
Were you happy that time?
But at that time, I didn’t feel that there was any difference between people.
Shen Nanbao closed his eyes, not realizing at all how bright his eyes were. They were like the sun, shining so brightly that Xiao Yichen was not even a shadow.
Xiao Yichen put his hand to his lips and coughed, pretending to clear his throat, "It's all in the past. Why bring it up? What matters is..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Nanbao interrupted, "Is that why you nodded and let Shen Shi go that time?"
Before Xiao Yichen could answer, Shen Nanbao spoke in a longer tone, "What a strange idea! I thought that I would have to mediate several times, but I didn't expect that I could convince you in just a few words. I thought it was the 'Gong Tian Law' Speaking of your heart, I didn’t expect..."
Shen Nanbao paused for a moment, and Xiao Yichen's outline was reflected in his eyes full of banter, "Commander, is this considered using the public for personal gain?"
The hand on his waist tightened suddenly.
Shen Nanbao exclaimed, "A gentleman talks but never uses his hands!"
In the past, how could Xiao Yichen dare? He must have held it in his hand and was afraid of falling off. Every sentence had to be carefully considered.
But it was different now. Ever since she cried and asked him to marry her, he had gained the confidence to treat her more sincerely and at the same time, he was more unrestrained.
Xiao Yichen immediately smiled evilly, "You asked me from other people's mouths, am I that gentleman? Besides, if I am that gentleman to you again, then I will definitely not be able to come to this place, just for some banquets I’ll just watch you from a distance.”
Shen Nanbao was choked, and when he came back to his senses, he pinched his waist with his hand, "Look at the way you talk, you are very capable of fighting hard!"
Her action came unexpectedly, and Xiao Yichen immediately hugged her waist and cried out in pain.
Shen Nanbao saw it and felt relieved, "You have reminded me that I am a little girl and there is no need to follow the theory of a gentleman who talks but does not use his hands."
Later, when they came out of the small side room, their waists seemed to have grown bigger, and there was a dull pain when they took a step.
Shen Nanbao returned to Fengyang Palace, took off the lining and took a look, oh, good guy, he was very green.
Fengyue's eyes were hit by this posture, and her nose was no longer a nose, and her eyes were no longer eyes. "This... is too harsh. I'm not afraid of the pain, Di Ji."
Yi Bi'er said, and Yi Bi'er took a towel and poured it into the hot water. When it was soaked, he wring it out and cover it again.
The warmth touched his skin, and it looked like a flower blooming in an instant. Shen Nanbao couldn't help but utter a cry, "It doesn't hurt very much, it just looks scary. His is the one that hurts. I applied a lot of force." . ”
As he said that, he pulled Qianqian's ten fingers apart. The roots were clearly defined, and the crisp and tender nails slipped through the light of the sword, cutting out sharp awns. "It's better to pinch them with fingernails."
Fengyue's expression changed when she saw Shen Nanbao.
How come he is such a stable person in the past, and now he looks like a child full of evil!
Lu Kui felt comforted in her heart. Being too stable was either a bad thing or lacked some vitality. What's more, Di Ji was only so old now and would only be a fourteen-year-old girl in a few days.
It can be seen that Commander Xiao is still a decent person.
At least Di Ji can live her true life.
Lu Kui breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Shen Nanbao with a smile in her eyes, "Just now the clothes department sent the clothes that Di Ji will wear for her birthday. Does Di Ji want to see them?"
Anyway, there's nothing going on right now, so I might as well take a look.
Shen Nanbao nodded.
Soon, a stream of people filed in holding black lacquer trays.
The clothing made of brocade has its own luster even if it is not moved under the light. It feels smooth and cool when you touch it, like touching a piece of solid ice that will not melt.
But Shen Nanbao knew that wearing such clothes not only showed the emperor's elegant temperament, but also made it warm with fine stitching. Even if she stood in the open space where the wind was blowing, she could not cut into the lining.
Shen Nanbao wore this on her birthday. It looked like a thin piece, but her rosy cheeks showed her enthusiasm.
Emperor Yongshun couldn't help but be envious, "It's still Yongle who pleases my father. Yun Jin gives me one set after another. Unlike me, who wears cotton wool, is bulky and bloated, and doesn't protect me from the cold. When I came here, the cold wind blew me away." , It’s as if all the internal organs are frozen.”
As if to prove what he said, Yi Bi'er said, and Yi Bi'er used his hand to hold the Yuan Bao she was attacking tightly, tightly around her neck, and then shook her body, shaking out a toad in the rain. Like.
Seeing Emperor Yongcheng sneer, "Arrogant! Your clothes are not brocade, but they are also soft and made of fine materials. Why are you so embarrassed! If you do this again, I will call daddy later and let him Look how you killed him."
Emperor Yongshun choked, rolled her eyes, hugged the tea in front of her and started sipping it.
A few people set up a white room, and the number of people gradually increased.
Shen Nanbao's birthday is not like the official Wanshou Festival. The Qianqiu Festival of the saints requires a grand banquet for all the officials in the court. Generally speaking, a few familiar people are invited to the Zhengyang Palace and they eat at the same table. yes.
However, the officials felt pity for Shen Nanbao who had been living alone for so many years, so they asked someone to arrange Shen Nanbao's birthday banquet in Chui Gong Hall.
The Chui Gong Hall was not big, but in order to appear less cold, some officials were entertained one after another.
Among them was the little lady.
She hadn't seen him for a few months, but he didn't feel unfamiliar when he saw her again. However, Shen Nanbao still noticed something was different, so she held the little lady's hand affectionately.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and Sister Eucalyptus is becoming more and more supple."
The little lady snarled, "It's just makeup. I need to take off my makeup. The dark spots under our eyes will definitely scare you!"
Such an exaggeration! Shen Nanbao smiled, "I saw you with a naked face before entering the palace. How could you say it was so serious?"
Shen Nanbao pulled her to sit down. There were regulations in the palace, which were all based on official rank. But now Shen Nanbao was the protagonist. She wanted to add a table and stool next to it. That was a simple matter, and officials also I won't betray her wish.
The young lady then sat down openly and securely, "It's not like you don't know that Song Jinghang..."
When Song Jinghang was mentioned, the smile on Shen Nanbao's face faded a bit, "Then you and him..."
The young lady probably wanted to shrug her shoulders, but seeing so many people coming and going, she stopped angrily and just pursed her lips and said: "That's it, he and that... Zheng family all had a good relationship, and the next year they It’s done.”
Shen Nanbao never thought that these two people could become a couple.
Shen Nanbao couldn't help but feel sad when she thought of what Chen Fangyan told her about "past and present life".
But her dejection in the eyes of the young lady had another meaning. The young lady clapped her hand and said, "It's not because of you. Don't think too much about it. In fact, I had expected this result." .”
Shen Nanbao's eyes were shocked for a moment.
When the young lady saw this, she smiled and said, "Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. If you look at the virtues of Fu Yao and Yu, you will know that Song, Jing, and Hangzhou are all inseparable. Even if it seems like nothing now, what will it be like if you know how to get married?" Maybe I will really stay in the house all day long, unable to leave the house."
But the more she behaved like this, the more guilty Shen Nanbao felt.
She was not someone who felt guilty easily, but she couldn't help but think so about the little lady who had been sincere to her since they first met.
Shen Nanbao sighed, but when he saw the openness between Miss Gu's eyebrows and eyes, he suddenly felt that maybe this was the best. Just like what Miss Gu said herself, getting married is too troublesome, and two families have to live together. Don't talk about the business, but with her temperament, she is afraid that she will go to the house to reveal her tiles.
It would be better to open the Zhenbao Pavilion in peace and quiet like now, doing the Marahu that I love.
Just when Shen Nanbao was thinking about it, the young lady changed the subject and said, "You talked about me, but you -"
Before Shen Nanbao could react, his raised eyes were reflected in the candlelight, like a golden net, with a dazed look and a hint of ignorance, which made the playfulness in the little lady's eyes even more obvious.
