A carriage slowly stopped at the door of Deshun Building.

Ma Haoxuan jumped out of the carriage, walked in, looked at Boss Yang who was coming up to him, and said, "It seems that your business is not doing well! It's noon, why is there no one here?"

"Your Highness." Boss Yang said with a bitter face, bowing as he walked, "Your Highness, all the guests have gone to the seafood restaurant, I can't do this business!"

"If I knew today, why did you have to offend people when you couldn't bear the sand in your eyes?" Ma Haoxuan glanced at him, his eyes full of sarcasm.

"I know I'm wrong." Boss Yang hurriedly followed behind him, and said, "I don't know what orders your Highness has?"

"I brought you business. Recently, a fleet of ships was practicing in the waters of Longtan Village. A few days ago, they practiced sea cruising and had been sleeping, boarding and lodging at Qianjiao Island. From today onwards, they will not go there. You are in charge of receiving them. , all board and lodging included, so many people are enough for you to be busy!" Ma Haoxuan entered the room familiarly, and said calmly, "There will be opportunities like this in the future!"

"Thank you, Your Highness." Boss Yang said with a smile on his face, "From now on, I will rely on Your Highness!"

He paused, looked around, and said in a low voice, "How is Uncle Shi? Are you okay?"

"Fortunately, I'm under house arrest in the Zhongyihou Mansion. Except for the lack of freedom, everything is fine." Ma Haoxuan played with the teacup in his hand, and sighed, "The reason why I took the initiative to ask for orders to come here to practice the fleet is because I don't want to stay in the capital. It's really a big dyeing vat, step by step, dealing with human affairs that can't be finished all day, I'm so tired!" He looked up.He leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes for a moment, sat up again, seemed to remember something, and asked again: "A few days ago, you said someone wanted to see me?"

"Yes, because His Highness was busy, so I didn't dare to bother you anymore." Boss Yang poured him a cup of tea respectfully, and said in a low voice. "It was Lu Haomin, the former county magistrate, who was dismissed because he made a small mistake. Now he is learning from the pain at home and wants to come back to benefit the people, so I want to find some accommodation with His Highness. After all, he was single-handedly promoted by the Marquis of Zhongyi. .”

"Since you have been dismissed, you should stay at home. Is there no one left in Daqi? Do you want to use a dismissed magistrate?" Ma Haoxuan said coldly, "In the future, don't tell me, it's useless Said. How many people are staring at this magistrate's seat, why should I give it to him!"

"Your Highness does not know that Zhao Ziliang, the brother-in-law of Luzhi County, is not only the richest man in Longtan Town, but more importantly, there are people in his palace." Boss Yang lowered his voice, "And he is someone close to Prince Rong Nalan Yunxuan."

"The people around Nalan Yunxuan?" Ma Haoxuan sat up straight and looked at him in disbelief. "Are you sure I will trust the people around Nalan Yunxuan?"

"Your Highness, Prince Rong's close servant Wang Gonggong is from Longtan Town. He has just been favored in recent years. He received Zhao Ziliang's favor when he was down and down. Now that he is prosperous, he will naturally not forget this kindness. I will not disappoint His Highness." Boss Yang said meaningfully, "Only by knowing your enemy and yourself can you win a hundred battles. Your Highness, Prince Rong is in the open and we are in the dark. This deal is worth it!"

"That's how it is! Let him wait for the news at home." Ma Haoxuan thought for a while, and then said, "Officer Lin Haisheng is reinstated, and Xu Yuanqi will naturally rise. I heard that he was transferred to the post of governor of Yuzhou this time. will take office immediately.”

"I heard that Xiao Chengyu has not come back. If the prefect's seat is also vacant, wouldn't it be better for us to send our people there?"

Ma Haoxuan looked at him in confusion.

"To tell you the truth, although Quan Zi is not among the best, he is on the list after all. If he can serve as the magistrate at that time, I will be very grateful." Boss Yang smiled all over his face.

"Are you kidding! You are also thinking about the prefect's seat, you are really greedy! Xiao Chengyu didn't come back because he was trapped in Baohua Temple by the heavy snow, not because he stayed in the capital and never came back!" Ma Haoxuan shook his head, took a sip of tea, He asked, "How much benefit has Luzhi County given you? Do you know so much about official affairs?"

"No way, I asked about this, isn't it for His Highness's sake?" Boss Yang thought for a while, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, that Xiao Chengyu, you have to be on guard! I would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go! "

"The matter is not investigated clearly, how can you kill someone?" Ma Haoxuan breathed a sigh of relief, "I know, I will take this matter to heart, you go down! I want to be alone!"

"Yes." Boss Yang stepped back in response.

Baohua Temple, apse.

The charcoal in the brazier was burning vigorously, and the fire was flickering, and it was warm red.

"Lord Xiao, this is a tea brewed with snow from plum blossoms. It is naturally scented with plum blossoms. Combined with the sweetness of this tea, it will taste quite different. Please try it, Lord Nalan Princess." As she said that, she glanced at the servant girl standing beside her. The servant girl understood and brought the steaming tea to Xiao Chengyu respectfully. She lowered her eyes and said, "My lord, please use it!"

"Thank you, princess." Xiao Chengyu picked up the tea and took a sip. It was indeed clear and sweet, and he smiled, "The taste is really good, sweet and delicious, and the fragrance on the lips and teeth."

"If your lord likes it, I'll have someone cook it for you every day."

"Thank you, princess, for your kindness. It's just that you can taste this tea occasionally. If you drink it every day, you won't be able to taste the sweetness."

"That's right." Princess Nalan smiled, saw him looking out of the window, and said, "The snow under the mountain will be cleared soon, and in a few days, my lord will be able to go home!" As he spoke, his eyes dimmed , she couldn't keep him after all...

"Thank you Princess for the tea, I have to go out to sweep the snow! Princess take it easy." Xiao Chengyu got up and bowed to say goodbye, and walked out. There was still a dazzling white in front of him, this annoying snow!

The monks in Baohua Temple naturally also joined the ranks of snow removal. Together with the accompanying officials, they took shovels and shoveled the snow on the stone steps into baskets, and then carried them to the valley to the side. Three times, after half a day, only a dozen stone steps were exposed. If it weren't for the large number of people at the bottom of the mountain who were constantly removing snow day and night, relying on these people on the mountain, the mountain road could be cleared out in the year of the monkey.

At night, Xiao Chengyu lay on the bed with his clothes on, listening to the wind whistling outside the window, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, Lin Xueman's voice and smile kept appearing in front of his eyes. During these days in Baohua Temple, he gradually learned to use memories to pass the time. Lonely and boring long night....

He began to recall from the day the two got married, including the daily bits and pieces, and recalled them carefully. Those memories sometimes made him laugh and sometimes excited him. He never had a good recollection of this marriage. In retrospect, he felt that he loved her a little more, but he never said love to her. It seemed that he felt that she would understand without saying anything.

What is she doing now?

Will he be like him, thinking about him quietly, yes, thinking about that woman with a big belly, it is difficult to even turn over, thinking of this, he chuckled, his eyes became wet unconsciously, he didn't know During these days at home, who would give her a hand when she got up, who would put the quilt under her feet when she was sleeping, she said it was comfortable to lie down like that, but she was too lazy to move...

What a lazy woman!A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he sighed softly. He had just learned to take care of her, but left her in a hurry...

She told him that the due date is in early February, that is, these few days, and he will rush back to welcome the birth of the child no matter what.

Just how can I go back?

Thinking about it, he lost sleep completely, so he simply got up and put on his clothes and got out of bed, just as he opened a corner of the window, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew in, he couldn't help shivering, and hurriedly closed the window.

In an instant, he suddenly saw a figure flashing by not far away, heading straight for Princess Nalan's apse, he couldn't help but tighten his heart, could it be some bad guy who came in?Thinking of this, he quietly jumped out of the window, and followed the figure quietly.

With the light of the moonlight, Xiao Chengyu saw clearly that the man was not wearing night clothes, but ordinary palace clothes. He entered the apse where Princess Nalan lived, and he stopped being sneaky, but He passed the arch openly, walked to Princess Nalan's door, and knocked lightly on the door.

Although his knock on the door was not loud, it was very clear in the cold and quiet night.

The door swung open.

Xiangcui poked her head out, looked out as a routine, then retracted, and gently closed the door.

Xiao Chengyu breathed a sigh of relief and walked out from behind the rockery. He saw that the room was lit with candles. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a thin voice from inside: "Princess."

Although the voice was not loud, Xiao Chengyu could still recognize that it was Wang Gonggong's voice.

Wang Gonggong had already left Baohua Temple before the heavy snow closed the mountain, so how did he come up?

The more Xiao Chengyu thought about it, the more strange he felt, so he tiptoed and hid under the window, trying to find out.

"Princess, the emperor asked the servants to ask when you will go down the mountain. He said that when the snow melts, the weather will be the coldest. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it." The prince's shrill voice came out faintly.

"As I said before, when the snow on the mountain is cleared, it will naturally go down the mountain." Princess Nalan said softly, "Go back and let my father rest assured that everything is fine."

"The princess hasn't come back for a long time, and the empress misses you very much, you see?" The prince paused for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "The princess, let's go back!"

Xiao Chengyu couldn't help frowning.

"But as soon as he leaves here, it will be difficult for me to see him again!" Princess Nalan sighed, "Go back! Don't let people see you. If people find out, what face will I have?"

"Princess, don't worry, no one will know. The servant will come to see you in a few days. Take care, Princess!" The prince backed out slowly, looked around, and quickly left the apse, running towards the back door . (To be continued.
