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 is a frightening step in the deep palace. Someone as stupid as me was 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, only old tea foam. One flush of water fills up the bowl, and you have to use the lid to cover it for a while before you can drink it.
Chi Su added, "Do you recognize the leader of the guards last night?"
Xue Hengzhao shook his head: "I've been away from the capital 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, and 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?"
"Apart from his harsh words, 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 see it." 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 he strives 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 Heng smiled, "It's not a good thing for a man to talk too much, but he's not annoying."
"Several of my elder brothers 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 is so different that we can’t even think about it. "Chi Su looked sad after saying that.
What makes her sad is not that her cousin and Yu Guming are no longer together, because it is unlikely that the two will have a relationship.
Instead, he lamented his family's loneliness and ill-fated fate.
Thinking about her cousin, if this disaster hadn't happened, even if she couldn't marry her sweetheart Yu Guming, she would still be able to marry 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 it's useless for me to worry so much that my hair turns gray.
It is better to let go of your arms and be happy for a while. " Chi Su smiled in relief. Although Xue Hengzhao was cold-tempered, he was optimistic. "Let me tell you another interesting story about the prince. Logically speaking, he should be able to get wind when he wants it, and rain when he wants it, but he happens to be a bit crazy.
Everything has to be used, and the people who follow it are the ones who follow it. They are not allowed to replace it.
The same applies to 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, let alone 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 told us when he came back that the thing had shriveled up to the point of being shrunk, 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 someone's girl, it will definitely be a couple 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 believed that she was born unkind and unrighteous, and she was most afraid of such a person who was so infatuated and stubborn.
Chi Su was about to continue talking when she heard a voice outside asking in a moderate voice: "Sister Xue, Sister Chi, are you all here?"
The person who came was Lin Fufei.
She was extremely happy today. She had never seen her like this since entering the palace.
As soon as I walked in, a lot of things were placed on the table, including food and useful things.
"Are you rich?" Chi Su opened the food box, which contained a steaming bowl of steamed taro meat.
"This is all thanks to Sister Xue." Lin Fufei's face turned red due to excitement and fast walking. "The method she gave me really worked. The imperial kitchen cooked the best smoked pig, and it was so delicious all at once." Three heads.
The Holy Master Long Yan was so happy that he rewarded everyone below him. Because that day was the birthday of the God of Fortune, everyone said that it was possible for this to happen because of the blessings from the gods. "
"Then what rewards did you get?" Chi Su asked her.
"I got two strings of money and a new pair of clothes. The most important thing is that Aunt Zhuang has changed my duties. I don't need to do any chores and hard work. I am in charge of counting in the book every day."
"This job is really good, and the money you get is more." Chi Su was also very happy for her.
"Thanks to Sister Xue. Without her, I would still be the same little girl." Lin Fufei shrank her neck and said with a smile.
Then he added: "The money manager is dead. It's really scary. I vaguely heard that stolen goods were found in this yard. Do you know what's going on?"
"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 are things over there. Don't let people think that I am getting carried away."
"Go quickly, we can get together when we have 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 of here.
The two of them packed their things and walked out of the penthouse where they had lived for many 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."
