Shangjing, which has already entered winter, is much colder than the small town in the south of the Yangtze River where Xue Ya grew up. Xue Ya nestled under the table, folded her arms, and waited expectantly for He Xulan to come back. She waited until his legs were numb before finally

Heard a little noise.

Someone came in.

Xue Ya's eyes lit up and she held her breath. The town he lived in was along the coast, and the Hongyue Tower was built on the lake. He had good water skills since he was a child, and he had practiced the Turtle Breathing Technique extremely well.

Footsteps approached and stopped in front of the table.

Xue Ya recognized those boots as He Xulan's, and was about to secretly reach out to grab the other person's ankles to scare the other person like last time, but before he could move, he heard another person's voice.

"Master Xu is going to take the blame and resign because of Concubine Shu's incident. When will the Queen Mother plan to deal with that person named Xue Ya?"

It seemed like she had heard this voice somewhere, and Xue Ya even noticed that the other party mentioned herself.

Get rid of him? What do you mean?

The voice sounded again, "Do you need to do something humble?"

He Xulan finally spoke, his tone was calm, "This is not urgent, I want you to do another thing first." At this point, he suddenly paused. He Xulan looked under the table and stood behind him.

The man also cast his gaze under the table.

He Xulan looked sideways at the man behind him, "You go down first."

"Yes." As the man spoke, he raised his hand and made a killing gesture.

He Xulan did not respond. The man understood, nodded slightly, and exited the hall. He Xulan, who stayed behind, looked under the table again. His voice was very soft, "Stop hiding and come out."

Xue Ya, who was under the table, was stiff, and it took a while before she got out from under the table. When he stood up and saw He Xulan, he couldn't help but trembled, and his lips turned white, "Are you going to kill me?"

He Xulan's eyes were filled with surprise, "Why do you think so? Xue Ya, come to my brother's place."

He stretched out his hand to Xue Ya, but Xue Ya couldn't help but step back when she saw his hand.

Xueya heard that Concubine Shu said that Taishi Xu was her father. Although he didn't understand why Taishi Xu resigned, it seemed to be related to the incident between him and Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu went to Qingyan Nunnery to be punished, and he

It's not normal for a lowly person to live well in the palace, now that I think about it.

Besides, how could anyone in this world be nice to him for no reason?

It's all fake, no one in this world will be nice to him.

Xue Ya wiped the tears that fell with the back of her hand, gritted her teeth and said, "Since you don't kill me, then I'll leave."

After he finished speaking, he ran out, but He Xulan did not stop him. Xue Ya ran all the way, and when she reached the small door on the east side, she violently tore off the key hanging from her wrist and threw it to the ground.

Xue Ya was afraid of losing the key, so she specially made a rope, hung the key on it, and wore it on her wrist.

At this time, he lost the key and left without looking back. But he left as if he had lost his soul. He only knew to walk towards Fengrui Palace. When he was approaching Fengrui Palace, Xueya was suddenly captured by someone.

stop.

"Xue Ya, what's wrong with you?"

Xue Ya looked up and found that it was Liang Mu, and she felt even worse. Liang Mu was He Xulan's man. He walked around him and wanted to leave, but Liang Mu was very annoying at the moment and insisted on grabbing him, which made Xue Ya angry.

All come up.

He pushed the other person hard and said, "Get out of here! Who wants you to pretend to be kind!"

After pushing a few times, he didn't push away. Instead, he was pulled to the flower bed.

"What's wrong with you?" Liang Mu took out a silk handkerchief and tried to wipe the wet tears on Xue Ya's face, but Xue Ya turned her face away, tears streaming down her face. When Liang Mu saw this, he lowered his voice, "It's because I didn't do it before.

Do I care about you? I was a little angry before because you said you would be back soon... so I ignored you, but don't cry. I apologize to you and I will never ignore you again.

"

Xue Ya didn't speak, her tears flowed down like water.

Liang Mu wiped Xue Ya's tears with a silk handkerchief, but the more she wiped, the more tears she wiped, which made him at a loss. When he was about to say something, Xue Ya started to hit him again, "Get out of here! I don't want you to comfort me!"

"

His little punches and kicks were nothing in Liang Mu's eyes. Liang Mu stood next to him and even smiled, "Don't be angry. I will be on duty tomorrow. Do you want to eat something from outside the palace? Candied haws on a stick? Candy man?"

Xue Ya was annoyed to death by Liang Mu. When she heard the other person was still chattering, she lowered her head and bit Liang Mu's hand, causing Liang Mu to take a breath. Xue Ya also took the opportunity to push the other person away and ran away.

He rushed back to his room, and after drinking a few glasses of water, his mind became much clearer. He didn't need to talk about being an older brother or not. Even if He Xulan was pretending to be in love with him, he would not be merciful when dealing with He Xulan.

Thinking of this, Xue Ya thought of Cui Lingjing again.

He must hug Cui Lingjing's thick thigh tightly. Only if he falls in love with Cui Lingjing, he will be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. Then no one can bully him, only he can bully others.

Xue Ya stood up and walked to the dressing mirror, picked up the silk handkerchief and slowly wiped away the tears on her face. Then she went to get a basin of water, washed her face, changed her clothes and went to Xu Pingnan.

Xu Pingnan frowned when he saw Xue Ya, "What are you doing here?"

"Eunuch Xu, please help me, I really want to see His Majesty." Xue Ya said, taking out the things in her sleeves. This is all the monthly money he received after entering the palace.

Xu Pingnan glanced at the copper coins on the table and said disgustedly: "With this little money, do you think I am a beggar?"

Xue Ya's face stiffened, and she took off something from her wrist and put it on the table. It was the jade bracelet his mother left for him, "What about this one? This is mine, not the palace's."

Xu Pingnan became interested when he saw the jade bracelet. He picked up the jade bracelet and looked at it carefully in the sunlight, then put it in his arms and looked at Xue Ya.

, don’t come to me for this kind of thing next time, and if His Majesty asks..."

"I will never tell my father-in-law. If Your Majesty blames you, I will bear the responsibility alone." Xue Ya said hurriedly.

Xu Pingnan thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty is in a good mood today. Just wait for my news."

As soon as night fell, Xu Pingnan asked a young eunuch to call Xue Ya over. Cui Lingjing had just finished taking a bath and needed a palace servant to twist Cui Lingjing's hair. It happened that the palace servant who usually twisted Cui Lingjing's hair had a cold today, so Xu Pingnan sent Xue Ya over.

Arrange it.

It has to be said that Xu Pingnan is a good worker after receiving the money, and his job of twisting hair is much better than last time carrying the basin.

Xue Ya put on light and easy-to-move clothes, washed her hands, and specially hung a sachet on her body. When His Majesty was informed that the bath was about to end, he immediately entered the bathroom with a handkerchief.

The bathroom was steaming, and the ground dragon was burning extremely hot. Xue Ya stepped in and glanced behind the screen. There was a longing figure over there. Cui Lingjing had already gotten out of the water. When he walked behind the screen, he happened to catch a glimpse of Cui Lingjing putting on her shirt.

.

Although Cui Lingjing is the same age as Xueya, their body shapes are completely different. Cui Lingjing is like a young leopard that is about to grow up. There is a thin layer of muscles hidden under the skin, and it has begun to gain strength.

Cui Lingjing's hair was no longer dripping with water. The palace attendant who served him in the bath wiped it dry. However, Xueya needed to wring out Cui Lingjing's hair completely. After Cui Lingjing was served and dressed, he turned around and walked out of the screen to go to the bathroom.

The beauty sat down on the couch for resting, and Xue Ya quickly followed, while other palace people were cleaning up the bathroom.

Because there was a strong fire in the room, Cui Lingjing didn't wear much. He even pulled off his collar because of the heat. He sat on the couch, took the book he had prepared early in the morning and opened it. Suddenly, his nose moved.

Turning his head, when he saw Xue Ya, the surprise in his eyes suddenly faded.

"Why is it you?"

Xue Ya saluted Cui Lingjing and said the speech she had prepared early in the morning, "Eunuch Ming was infected with the cold today, so I am a servant who came to serve your majesty."

Cui Lingjing's eyes narrowed slightly. He looked Xue Ya up and down, and suddenly reached out and took off the sachet from Xue Ya's waist. He took a gentle sniff, and his expression suddenly changed, almost horrifyingly.

"All of you, get out!" Cui Lingjing said to the group of palace servants who were still cleaning up the bathroom.

When the palace servants noticed that Cui Lingjing was angry, they immediately withdrew. However, Xueya did not expect that the sachet he hung would cause a backlash, but he tried to calm down and proactively told Cui Lingjing, "Your Majesty likes my slave's sachet? What about this slave?"

Your Majesty, please embroider one."

"Sachet? I want to ask you, where do the spices in your sachet come from?" Cui Lingjing's voice was cold.

Xue Ya said calmly: "I deserve it myself."

"Pair it? Do you know how many precious ingredients are in the recipe of this spice? Can you afford something like this?" Cui Lingjing opened Xue Ya's hand that was still twisting his hair.

Xue Ya's hand turned red instantly. He put the handkerchief back on the wooden plate next to him and took the sachet in Cui Lingjing's hand. "Your Majesty may have misunderstood. There are no precious spices in it."

He opened the sachet and poured out the spices inside. "They are all the simplest ingredients, white honey, cloves, dried osmanthus, nard..."

Xue Ya was glad that when he got the spice list given to him by He Xulan, he went to the incense making house and asked if he could mix it. The incense making house told him that some of the fragrances were expensive and out of stock, and he couldn't afford it even with the monthly money he had saved for five years.

However, the father-in-law who made the incense at that time also told Xueya: "If you don't require the taste to be exactly the same, these expensive incense can be replaced with simple materials."

At that time, Xue Ya prepared a substitute and took it back to compare. He originally planned to use the spices He Xulan gave him tonight, but he was a little annoyed thinking about He Xulan, so he took the substitute spices and put them on him.

When Cui Lingjing saw the spice poured into Xueya's hand, her expression became a little unnatural and she turned away.

"If Your Majesty is no longer angry, can my servant help twist His Majesty's hair?" Xue Ya asked in a low voice.

Cui Lingjing had just wronged someone, so he didn't feel too embarrassed at this time, so he just hummed. Xueya got up and washed her hands, picked up the kerchief again and twisted Cui Lingjing's hair. When the hair was almost dry, he said again: "This slave is for your majesty."

Press your head, your Majesty must be very tired after working hard and sleeping all day long."

After Xueya finished speaking, seeing that Cui Lingjing didn't speak, she took the initiative to raise her hand to touch the other person's temple, press it gently with the back of her fingers, then press it down behind the ear, stop at the shoulder, and touch the temple again, like this

Back and forth, the intensity was neither light nor heavy. Even Cui Lingjing couldn't fault it. She closed her eyes slightly, as if closing her eyes to rest.

The massage job was actually very tiring. Xue Ya pressed her back and her hands were so sore that she pressed Cui Lingjing's shoulders again. He couldn't help but stop and let out a breath. When he wanted to get up, he first heard Cui Lingjing's sleepy voice.

, "Why don't you press it?"

"My hands are sore," Xue Ya said with some embarrassment.

Cui Lingjing opened his eyes, glanced at Xue Ya, and then lowered his eyes at Xue Ya's hands. They were white and clean, as if they had never suffered anything. He stared at the hands for a long time and suddenly said: "

Go wash your hands and come back."

Xue Ya said oh and obeyed.

When Xue Ya came back, Cui Lingjing suddenly grabbed his hand, squeezed it hard, then let go, and then pinched Xue Ya's face, like kneading dough.

Cui Lingjing pinched the person without any measure and with great force. After a while, Xue Ya's cheeks turned red, but Cui Lingjing, the perpetrator, said in a strange tone: "Why don't you cry today?"

But as soon as he said these words, tears fell on the back of his hands.

Cui Lingjing couldn't help but laugh. She was just about to ridicule Xue Ya for being so capable and crying when she asked, but someone hugged her first.

The person who hugged him was so courageous that he not only hugged him, but also buried his face in his shoulder.

Cui Lingjing wanted to pull her away, but strangely, he couldn't pull her away after a long time. The usually soft little thing seemed to be growing in his arms today. Even if she couldn't pull it away, she was still crying.

How can there be so many tears to shed? Could it be made of water?
