The day before the Laba Festival, Ningxi had already ordered Poria to soak the ingredients early. After drinking the sweet Laba porridge in the morning of Laba Festival, Ningxi's brows that had been uncomfortable for several days were happy. It’s true that sweets can take away a bad mood.
After eating, Ningxi asked, "Is there more?"
Poria thought that the master was not full, so she nodded, "Master, you have already used two bowls this morning, and this food is not easy to digest~"
"I want you to send it to the emperor. Although the imperial kitchen can cook it, it will definitely not be as sweet as the one in our palace!"
If the master can keep the emperor in mind, then the emperor will naturally not treat the master badly. Poria responded with a smile, prepared a large bowl, and sent someone to Qingxin Palace.
——Qingxin Palace——
Xiao Chengyan put down the pen in his hand. Every time he went to Yongfu Palace for two or three days in a row, the owner of the palace was always no longer in the palace. Xiao Chengyan had to wonder whether the noble concubine was deliberately avoiding him, "Eunuch Wan, what do you mean? Is the imperial concubine planning a palace banquet these days?"
"That's right, Your Majesty."
In the past, when there was life, she would stay far away. There must be a cause and effect when things go as expected. This little girl might be harboring some bad tricks. Moreover, it had been a long time since she returned to the palace from the manor. Considering her character of retaliating against him every time, it was really puzzling that she would not implement her little tricks. This girl must be a liar.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chengyan vetoed it himself, "It can't be done. If the concubine is the master who holds back her breath, then the quarrel between the concubine and the concubine every day in the harem will not be known to everyone."
Xiao Chengyan took a sip of tea and was about to stand up when a sound came from outside,
"Your Majesty, Lord Ning would like to see you."
"Xuan!"
Ning Honghui had just entered the inner hall. Before An could ask for instructions, Yun Zhi brought the Laba porridge with a food box. It was already late when the master had finished his breakfast. After loading the food box, I resigned.
Although Wan Sui had breakfast, Wan Dequan couldn't make the decision and handed over the Laba porridge to the emperor on time.
When Xiao Chengyan heard this, he paused and said: "It's a coincidence for you. I have a day off during this big holiday, and you still come here. Since the imperial concubine has sent Laba porridge, whether you have eaten it or not, I will use some more." .”
"Have cousins always been so virtuous?" Ning Honghui asked in disbelief after taking a taste.
When he asked this question, Xiao Chengyan did not give him a direct answer, but gave him a meaningful smile. Whether he is virtuous or not is up to Aiqing to figure out for herself.
After the Laba Festival, the New Year's Day is getting closer and closer, and the other matters are almost done. Ningxi is no longer in a state of being indifferent to what's going on outside the window, and has restrained his laziness in front of everyone, approaching She has to prepare for the family dinner at the end of the year.
New Year's Eve
"It seems that my sister is tired from organizing the palace banquet!"
Shit, if you don’t speak, no one will treat you as a mute. Ningxi rolled her eyes at the queen in displeasure, without any hesitation. Recently, she has become more and more confident after being taught by Grandma Liu.
"My concubine has behaved inappropriately. I hope the emperor will not blame me."
"It's okay, nothing's wrong. Get up. It's just a family dinner. No need to be polite. Just sit down and talk."
Ningxi returned to her seat, answered a few questions from Xiao Chengyan lightly, and then lowered her head.
For the next time, Ningxi lowered her head to eat seriously, not daring to lose her mind at all.
It was okay for the imperial concubine to ignore the emperor, but this move made the concubine below have other thoughts.
On New Year's Eve, the emperor should stay with the queen in Yong'an Palace, but Xiao Chengyan came to Yongfu Palace instead.
A pair of cold hands got into Ningxi's quilt. The little man inside shivered because of the cold. He sat up and looked at the person clearly, and suddenly felt much colder.
Xiao Chengyan went to the cubicle to take a hot bath, put on his inner clothes and came over.
Ningxi was sitting by the bed wrapped in a big quilt. Seeing that he was not even wearing a coat, he couldn't help but say, "Isn't the emperor coming here at this time just to let my concubine stay with you?"
"I didn't expect the imperial concubine to go to bed so early." A certain emperor said boldly.
If Eunuch Wan heard this, he would probably laugh at our emperor.
Who saw a patch of snow outside and deliberately inserted his hand into it, while still talking about going to Yongfu Palace to freeze the imperial concubine~
Sure enough, the imperial concubine was awakened by the emperor's cold hands.
Eunuch Wan, who was waiting outside the palace, was still worried about the emperor, fearing that the emperor would be kicked out by the imperial concubine this time.
"childish!"
Ningxi tightened the quilt and said.
Xiao Chengyan was speechless for a while, who of the two of us is more naive?
The little joke was well done, and Ningxi didn't dare to let the dragon body get hurt.
On New Year's Eve, Xiao Chengyan had figured out the temperament of his noble concubine. He was the one who would avenge his revenge on the spot and never delay it.
He just saw the snow piled up outside to tease her, but he didn't expect that she would just wrap herself in a quilt and sit by the bed, watching him in single clothes. Fortunately, there was a ground dragon in the house and he was in good health.
The two of them lay flat on the bed, looking at the tent roof above. Xiao Chengyan felt a little uncomfortable and turned sideways, staring at her little face for a while, until Ningxi turned her back to him.
Then he took the opportunity to hold her in his arms and put an arm around her slim waist. In this way, the distance between the two of them was shortened, and Ningxi could already feel his breath.
Ning Xi shrank her neck uncomfortably, "Your Majesty, don't bury your head in my neck, it will make you so itchy!"
The thin and dense breathing is indeed a bit itchy.
Moreover, Ningxi was not used to being so close to a man, and the two of them had never hugged each other so closely before. Suddenly—
Ningxi’s brain exploded!
He, shouldn't he be thinking about that?
Sure enough, Ning Xi felt a wet kiss fall on her neck.
Then, someone laughed and said, "My dear concubine, why are you so nervous?" After saying that, he let her go.
I wipe it!
Still not nervous, Ningxi shook her stiff body and turned around to face him. In this situation, she must not fall into the opponent's scheme. "I have never been so close to the emperor before. This is my first time." Of course I'm nervous~" After saying that, he even winked!
Humph, I feel so miserable, you stinky man!
Xiao Chengyan stretched out his big palm to cover his charming eyes. His ability to control himself was probably going to be destroyed by this little girl.
Ningxi refused, and Xiao Chengyan naturally knew that for the sake of General Chen's reputation, Xiao Chengyan should give Ningxi every bit of face, otherwise there would be no concubines in the palace who were fourteen years old.
"Don't do this again in the future. Although I respect you, you must also know that I can't compare with Liu Xiahui!"
"Oh!" Ningxi responded timidly, not daring to move closer to his arms.
In the end, it was Xiao Chengyan who took the person into his arms.
There is a saying of staying up late on New Year's Eve, so Ningxi had already slept in the afternoon. He had also fallen asleep just now, but unfortunately he was woken up by the emperor. Now he suddenly became energetic. What should we do?
"What? Are you energetic?"
Ningxi couldn't resist, so she hummed in the man's arms to show her dissatisfaction.
"How about we go out for a walk?" Ningxi suddenly became interested!
This was the second Spring Festival she had experienced in the palace. During the first Spring Festival, she was afraid of the cold and got out of bed early.
But this year, with such a big heater, Ningxi came up with this idea.
Xiao Chengyan is also used to her. Generally speaking, there is no need to go to court tomorrow, the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The two of them didn't even ask anyone to come in. They just made enough food and clothing by themselves!
However, Ningxi doesn't use this sentence well. Although she grew up here, this ancient costume is really difficult to wear.
There was no other way, and in the end, Xiao Chengyan, the Nine-Fifth Master, took care of her personally.
Ningxi was very satisfied with the emperor's service, and even went out with a smile on her face. The spring breeze on her face made people suspicious.
When had my mistress ever smiled so happily? Poria and Forsythia looked at each other tacitly and nodded: Damn it, it’s a Chinese New Year!
"Wow, even though I'm wearing thick clothes, it's still a bit cold~"
I originally thought about dressing up like a stupid bear and going out to play in the snow. In this situation, Ningxi just made do with it while complaining.
"You are using me as a stove. No wonder you have been smiling with evil intentions since you left the palace."
Although he said disgusting words, Xiao Chengyan still held the person in his arms to warm him. He always cherishes the thought of loving the little girl Xiao Chengyan.
"No way, no one has bad intentions, this is called smiling like a flower, do you understand?"
As he said this, he licked his face and brought it to Xiao Chengyan's chin. Xiao Chengyan stretched out his hand and pinched his chubby cheeks. After the Chinese New Year, his cheeks also became rounder.
The master ordered not to be served close by, but Wan Eunuch sighed softly from a long distance away. The emperor had not been so happy since he was a few years old, and he acted like a child in front of the imperial concubine.
Eunuch Wan was still immersed in emotion when he suddenly heard the shout from the front, "Wan Dequan!"
No, trot over quickly.
"There is no need to follow me and my concubine. Go back and rest quickly. Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so you are busy~"
"Long live Lord, this~"
"Eunuch Wan, please go back first. Your long live master, I, will take care of you!"
Someone said it with a straight face and without any shame, and Wan Gonggong believed it and retreated.
"The imperial concubine is going to be one year older soon. Could it be that her face has also grown with her?"
After Xiao Chengyan finished speaking, Ningxi looked as bulging as a little frog about to get bloated, with bulging cheeks.
It was difficult for Ningxi to refute, because what he said was the truth. How could a person who didn't even know how to wear clothes serve Jin Gui's Long Live Lord?
Hey, how did a concubine like her survive in the harem?
She must have been so beautiful that the emperor couldn't bear to leave her, not to mention that Ningxi's face was enough to make her a beloved concubine who would bring disaster to the country and the people.
However, Xiao Chengyan is not that brainless emperor.
But even if he is not good at women, sooner or later this man will still be able to conceive all the women in the harem.
Ning Xi felt a little sourness in her heart, but she didn't know why the sourness came from.
Ningxi attributed her complicated emotions to this person hanging around in front of her all day long, not saying anything like that, which makes her fall in love with him over time.
Out of anger, Ningxi quickly shook this thought out of her mind.
Xiao Chengyan shivered when he saw the person in his arms. He thought that his noble concubine was so afraid of the cold, so he unconsciously tightened his arms and hugged her even tighter.
In this huge harem, only by guarding one's heart can one live stably.
Ning Xi forgot that this was a sentence in any palace fighting drama she watched. There is a saying that the person who is tempted loses no matter what.
Ningxi didn't know if she could control her heart as always in the future, but in the past two years, Ningxi wanted her not to be tempted. There were a new batch of beauties in the palace. Some of them were beautiful or not, but there were definitely many who were snake-hearted, like When she was distracted at the family dinner tonight, how many people below were hoping that she would be blamed by the emperor.
In the past two years, take good care of yourself first and watch the palace fight!
Ningxi made a small New Year's resolution for herself before going to bed.
