Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 266 All the possessions (1)
Luo Jinxing said: "Didn't you say that the palace walls are high and cold, how could you not think of it?"

Xianglai cast a glance at him, thinking that it was just a metaphor, how would I know that the winter in the palace is really so cold.

Luo Jinxing embraced her in his arms and said, "But it's okay, I said I have me, go, follow me to a place."

With Huiling's cloak and Luo Jinxing's embrace, Xianglai felt that going outside was not as cold as before, so she walked forward with him.

Xu Lin, Xu Che and Hui Ling didn't dare to stay away, so they followed behind them not too far or too close.

Besides, after Xianglai and Luo Jinxing came out, there was a topic suddenly at the relatively deserted palace banquet in the palace, and a minister asked the King of Beiliao, saying: "Your Majesty, the marriage of your son has been delayed again and again, is there something to be done this time? "

King Beiliao said: "Well, maybe, I'll ask Jinxing what he thinks later, he is really old, so let him do what he wants..."

When the officials heard that they were more certain of their previous judgment, they raised their glasses to celebrate in advance.

Xianglai and Luo Jinxing left the main hall together and walked back. The palace walked through one after another, the colorful lights were hung high but there were not many people's voices, and occasionally heard a laugh or two, but they didn't dare to make a show of it, and they all suppressed it in a low voice .

Xianglai said inwardly: "Growing up in such a deep palace, it's rare that the person around me can maintain a calm and at ease attitude. If you really live here for the rest of your life, it's really sad not to have a caring person by your side..."

While thinking about it, Luo Jinxing had already brought her to a palace.

This palace is not new, but it can be seen that it was magnificent in the past.

Luo Jinxing stopped in front of the palace gate, looked at the closed palace gate and said, "This Xuanhua Palace is where I grew up. Before I was ten years old, I lived here with my mother and queen. At that time, I was innocent and happy, with a little trouble and sadness. nothing."

Xianglai shook his hand vigorously, she knew that Luo Jinxing missed his deceased mother very much, and he seemed to know that his mother was killed by Lian Chongxue very early on.

She didn't know how she would persuade Luo Jinxing when she was heartbroken if she continued talking.

But Luo Jinxing didn't bring her here to make her feel sad. He stopped at this point and said, "Go, I'll take you inside."

Said and asked An Guang to open the door and enter inside.

After entering the courtyard, Xianglai's eyes lit up, and he saw palace lanterns hung everywhere in the palace, including Eight Immortals lanterns with cloisonné enamel, flower and bird lanterns with gold and jade inlaid, and exquisite group lanterns. Large and small, all kinds of hangings filled the entire palace, illuminating the place like a fairyland.

Xianglai stared at the beautiful scenery for a moment, then exclaimed, "So many lights?!"

Luo Jinxing said: "Yes, my mother loved palace lanterns the most during her lifetime. Every year, my father will prepare a lot for her, and I will also ask the palace people to make some small ones for me to play with...Because of this, I was in the palace lanterns back then. You will pay special attention to the Songhua River when you see the river lanterns, it is very close to your mother, and she must also see the lanterns you put on."

Xianglai didn't speak, the continuation of such a topic would only make people more sad.

Luo Jinxing quickly stopped her and led her inside.

The Xuanhua Palace in the palace is not regarded as a forbidden place like the Ningfang Garden in Lianfu. The original palace people here still stay in the palace and clean the palace. Luo Jinxing lives here every time he returns to the palace.

Hearing the sound of the palace gate, the palace people inside came out to welcome the two of them in.

Seeing that Luo Jinxing brought an official back to the palace, the people in the palace were puzzled. After carefully looking at Qing Xianglai's figure and face, they suddenly understood something. Aim at the body.

Xianglai and Luo Jinxing met so many strange eyes for the first time since they met, and turned to look at Luo Jinxing.

Luo Jinxing knew that she was not used to it, so he asked the palace people, "Is the food ready?"

The palace man nodded and said: "Returning to the prince, I have already prepared it."

Luo Jinxing said: "Oh, you all go out when you are ready, and I will ask you to come in when you are needed."

The palace people of Xuanhua Palace all backed out with a promise.

An Guang stood there in a daze, and said, "My lord, what about us?"

Luo Jinxing squinted at him and said, "What do you think?"

Before An Guang could figure it out, Xu Lin had already pulled him out, whispering as he walked, "Isn't Director An always very clever, why are you so stupid today..."

Seeing this situation, Huiling and Xu Che knew that they should leave without even thinking about it, and they slipped out of the palace with secret smiles in their eyes.

Xiang Lai said: "Why, you asked them to prepare meals again?"

Luo Jinxing said: "I knew that the food at the palace banquet would not be delicious, so I asked them to prepare it in advance. Otherwise, in the middle of the night, can you go back with a cold stomach?"

As he spoke, he picked up a hand stove on the table and put it in Xianglai's hand, helped her untie the cloak and said, "How is it, is it still cold?"

Xianglai said: "The palace is so warm, how can it be cold?"

Luo Jinxing said: "Come here when it's not cold, the food is inside."

Xianglai followed him inside, and saw that Nanmu's Eight Immortals table was indeed filled with all kinds of dishes. Looking at the faint heat coming out of it, he knew that it must be much better than the ones at the palace banquet.

Sitting coldly in the hall, she was already hungry, so she sat at the table with Luo Jinxing.

Luo Jinxing picked up the jug and poured her a glass, saying: "This is the best cherry wine, sweet and mellow, not too spicy, drink it first to warm your stomach."

Xianglai picked up the cup and drank it, seeing him looking at her, said: "Why don't you drink it?"

Luo Jinxing said: "I don't want to drink, I just want to look at you like this. I think we have known each other for so many years, and there are not many opportunities to get along quietly and alone."

Xianglai thought for a while and said, "Yeah, it seems that this is the first time that I can have a space that is alone and undisturbed..."

Luo Jinxing said: "Yeah, being able to be with the one I love at such a time and in such a place full of longing, I really should cherish it... Come, eat some food, I feel very at ease when I watch you eat .”

As he spoke, he brought a piece of matsutake to Xianglai's mouth.

Xianglai opened her mouth to eat, but still felt that his words were awkward, and asked suspiciously: "Are you laughing at me for being an idiot?"

Luo Jinxing laughed with the food in his hands, and said: "Even if I have no skills, I can't afford to feed you. How can I laugh at you for eating too much? I just think you are never pretentious, and you are always so real in front of my eyes. Let me not have to guess or doubt, I really feel at ease with you like this."

Xiang Lai laughed too, and ate the matsutake with his chopsticks.
