I'm determined to be the dark moonlight

The New Year's Eve drifts in the auspicious snow.

The world is covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and when you wake up overnight, the trees are covered with icicles and are illuminated by the sun.

Weiying has completed several missions, and her physique has almost reached a positive value. This winter is no longer difficult. When the sun is out, she will occasionally go out, curl up on the recliner with the heater in her arms, and bask in the sun contentedly, like a lazy Yangyang cat.

New Year's gifts were sent to the Anle Hall one after another. The gifts given by the palace people were not expensive, but they were very practical, such as warm quilts and silver charcoal that did not smell of smoke when burned.

As New Year's Eve was approaching, Concubine Xian came over with a package of dried dumplings and served them to the two girls.

There are many kinds of fillings for the dumplings, and several food boxes were full and brought over.

The kitchen in An Le Tang was hot and steaming. Several girls were busy in the kitchen. Concubine Xian skillfully dipped the dumplings into the boiling water, and steamed the other box in the steamer.

Weiying and Xiao Qianxue couldn't bear the hunger, so they sneaked into the kitchen to steal dumplings.

Concubine Xian said helplessly: "Be careful not familiar."

Xiao Qianxue picked up the long chopsticks, picked one up and put it in her mouth. She was instantly scalded by the juice in the dumpling and she burst into tears. She stuck out her tongue and exhaled, and said awkwardly: "It's ripe, it's hot."

Concubine Xian smiled helplessly, and waited until the dumplings floated before picking them up, putting them in the boiled soup, sprinkled with a handful of emerald green onion, and asked the two girls to take each bowl away, and after she filled a bowl for herself, the remaining Let Madam Zhang distribute the rest to the people in An Le Tang Palace.

So everyone ate hot dumplings.

Concubine Xian: "There is a copper coin in a dumpling, and if you eat it, you will have good luck for a year."

Xiao Qianxue was overjoyed after hearing this, picked up another dumpling, and said with a smile: "Then be careful when eating, don't scratch your teeth."

The last dumpling was eaten by Weiying.

According to Gong Douji, it was because she got the heroine aura and her luck started to get better and better.

Weiying smiled, and was also looking forward to good luck in the new year, it is best to complete the task early!

Halfway through eating the dumplings, the door of An Le Tang was pushed open, and the cold wind blew in with snow.

The visitor untied the green-bottomed Yinmei cloak to dissipate the chill, "I'm late?"

When Weiying and the others saw the queen, they immediately remembered to salute, but were stopped by the queen.

Yue Qinghui came to the table, "I wanted to see the two younger sisters, but I didn't want you to come too."

Concubine Xian also laughed, and went into the kitchen to make a bowl of cooked dumplings.She and the empress are not on good terms, and they don't go out very much. They only meet at banquets or when they help the emperor read books.

In fact, the two of them had an intersection in the past.

Neither of them entered the palace at that time.Yue Qinghui followed his father to study in the college, and his talent was unique for a while, surpassing many literati with high self-esteem.But ever since Concubine Xian wrote the "Shengjing Fu", many good people have compared Cui Xiang's youngest daughter with Yue Qinghui, saying that Cui Wu's talent may not be inferior to Yue Qinghui's, and that he lives in seclusion and stays at home, compared to a certain woman. Girls who are always out and about are much better.

Concubine Xian is the same as her father, she is a housewife and doesn't want to cause trouble, from then on she stays at home even more, and after entering the palace, she tries to avoid meeting the queen as much as possible, so as not to make people unhappy.

But today, Yue Qinghui took the initiative to mention: "When I was young, I often heard about Awu's talent and name. When I read Shengjing Fu, my heart was shaken. I wished I could fly to Shengjing to meet you immediately. In addition to a good article, the cooking skills are also so good."

Concubine Xian smiled warmly and softly: "Your Majesty, you are welcome."

Yue Qinghui ate the dumplings, and said: "My sister looks much lighter, what's the matter?"

Concubine Xian shook her head, then smiled: "It's just a little thing."

Yue Qinghui hooked the corners of his lips without any trace, looked at Wei Ying and the others: "How are you doing here?"

Weiying thought to herself, the queen looks deserted, but actually she has a good heart and is so considerate of the women in the harem.Maybe it's because of her sense of responsibility.

She smiled, and before she could speak, Yue Qinghui said to himself: "But you can live a good life, I always knew."

Wei Ying: "Ah—?"

Does she know the queen well?

After eating a bowl of dumplings, Yue Qinghui left with Concubine Xian without saying a few words.

After all, there is a palace banquet to be prepared, the empress will preside over it, and the concubine Xian will assist. The palace has been very busy recently.Maybe the queen came here on purpose, just to take away the lazy concubine Xian and do things for her.

Looking at their backs, Wei Ying felt a strange feeling for no reason.

The two were walking in the snow, Concubine Xian held an umbrella for the queen, and the umbrella was tilted towards the queen, and most of her body was exposed on her side. She was shorter, and she had to stretch her hands up when holding the umbrella, and it didn't take long for it to be a little difficult.

The queen lowered her head, she didn't know what to say to her, took the umbrella and propped it up, and the two of them got closer, both covered under the umbrella.

Weiying shook her head, looked away, curled up on the couch with the stove in her arms, narrowed her eyes, and fell asleep comfortably.

When he woke up, there were piles of silk jewelry in the room, and a box of weapons—they were sent by the imperial concubine.

Xiao Qianxue fiddled with the weapon, and said sourly: "The imperial concubine really won't be angry with you."

Weiying rubbed the corner of her mouth, thinking, maybe it's because she was down there again in the new year's work.

For the New Year's Palace banquet, the palace is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the sound of singing and dancing in the distance comes from the wind.Only the two of them huddled in the warm room, holding a bowl of dumplings, while guessing who was singing from the voice.

"It must be Concubine Li's singing voice, she sings so beautifully."

"This is Sister Xianfei playing the piano!"

"It's a pity that I can't see Concubine Shu's waist-bending dance. Alas, Concubine Shu dances so beautifully."

The two pointed out and tasted from the air, and there was a harmonious singing and dancing, and many colorful fireworks exploded in the sky.

Wei Ying thought of something, put the steamed dumplings in an ivory food box, carried it in her bosom, and took the incense she entrusted a few days ago, "I'm going outside."

Xiao Qianxue was worried about her: "But didn't His Majesty order us to ground our feet and not go out?"

Weiying just smiled: "Everyone is celebrating the New Year, no one will see me sneaking out."

Besides, with her connections in the palace, even if she sneaks out, the maids and eunuchs will just turn a blind eye and say happy new year to you with a smile.

Xiao Qianxue continued to worry: "But it's so cold and dark outside, where are you going? Let's go together!"

Wei Ying shook her head, hugged the food box and ran out: "I want to say 'Happy New Year' to someone, this is my secret. Go to bed early, don't wait for me."

Xiao Qianxue looked melancholy at the twilight outside, and let her go after all.She knows that Weiying has many friends, the concubines, maids and eunuchs in the palace, and even her own little Lihua like her very much.

She sat in front of the window, holding on to the lanterns lonely, listening to the sound of fireworks outside, but she couldn't help but judge Weiying in her heart.

Normally, Xiao Qianxue seldom commented on others, and secretly added labels, which would be impolite.But at this time, she looked at the palace lantern that melted into the night, and couldn't help but think that Yingying always gets along with people easily, as if the sun was born shining brightly, attracting everyone to gather together.

But the sun is there, and it belongs to all, which is fair.

No one can expect to monopolize it.

She shrunk her neck, warmed herself by the charcoal basin, and then crawled into the bed to get ready to sleep.Before going to bed, I couldn't help but think of my mother who was sitting by the window every night waiting for my father to come back. I felt a little fortunate that I only had a girlfriend's relationship with Weiying, not a husband and wife relationship like in the storybook.

Otherwise, whoever falls in love with such a person may go crazy.

Wei Ying trotted all the way, and for some reason, she felt happy at the thought of being able to take another breath of European energy.When running to the cold palace, the female ghost girl did not show up, so she came to the corner and skillfully burned paper and incense to comfort the girl's spirit in heaven.

The cold wind blew, and she flinched, feeling a little cold, and walked into the house with a lamp.

Now that her physique has improved, she still can't see very clearly at night, but it is much better than before. She quickly found the door, pushed the door in, and shrank into the room to warm up.She hadn't come for many days, she was lying on the bed, accidentally touched a book, opened it and looked at it by the fire.

The five large characters on the cover are very clear "The Harem Lost Love Record", but after opening the inside, the small characters are crowded together like black ants, and they are still unreadable.

I didn't expect there to be scripts here.

Weiying has a new understanding of Miss Yun's ghost birth, and when she hears footsteps outside, she puts the story book on the table, runs over to open the door, and gives the visitor a big hug, "Happy New Year!"

Yun Shao was caught off guard and bumped into the warm embrace. After a long while, he finally came back to his senses. He responded, and stood a little at a loss.

Wei Ying sniffed, smelled the faint scent of wine on her body, and couldn't help laughing: "So life in the underworld is so colorful, and people read scripts and drink alcohol at the same time. Could it be that the underworld is also celebrating the New Year now, and you go to the appointment, so now just came back?"

Yun Shao didn't know how to answer, the north wind howled, she took the girl's hand, dragged her inside, and sat by the stove.Inadvertently glancing at the "Secrets of the Harem", her fingers curled up nervously, her heart was beating thumping, and there was nowhere to rest it.

Weiying took out the food box that was heated just now, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and eat the dumplings, they are still hot! Oh yes, I have to burn you to be able to do it, then I..."

The wrist was grabbed suddenly, the female ghost's palm was cold, and her voice was also cold: "No need to burn."

Yun Shao drank some wine at the palace banquet, his head was a little dizzy, and he tried several times before opening the food box.

Dumplings with thin skin and big stuffing are still warm, lying quietly in the ivory box.

She pressed the center of her eyebrows, the redness from the corners of her eyes burned to the back of her ears, her chest roared, and her eardrums were deafened by the shock. After a long while, she picked up a chubby dumpling and took a bite.

The movements are reserved and pleasing to the eye.

Weiying propped her chin, thinking this way, the female ghost girl was probably taught very strictly when she was alive, and she ate with a sense of dignity.

Yun Shao ate slowly, and asked softly, "Did you make the dumplings?"

Weiying replied truthfully: "No, Sister Xianfei did it."

Yun Shao paused, put down the ivory chopsticks, and wiped his mouth slowly.

Weiying asked with concern: "Don't you eat?"

Yun Shao gave a soft "hmm".

Weiying asked again: "Are you full?"

Yun Shao shook her head, at the palace banquet just now, she didn't eat anything, she was hungry since noon.She has long been used to enduring, no matter whether it is hunger or pain, no one cares about it except Fushou.

However, meeting the young girl's earnest gaze, she felt a dull pain in her upper abdomen, her stomach seemed to be on fire, and the acid water inside was boiling, which made her frown impatiently, her face turned pale, and she lowered her head slightly.

It seems that facing Weiying, everything is invisible.

Yun Shao clenched her palms.

Wei Ying said curiously: "If you're not full, why don't you eat some more? Don't you like dumplings?"

"I like it." Yun Shao pursed her lips and whispered, "You didn't do it."

You didn't make it, don't want to eat it.

Weiying was so teased by this sentence that she couldn't say anything for a long time.

After Yun Shao finished speaking, she regretted it, her cheeks were glowing and flushed.I don't know why, just now she seemed to be back when she was a child, and acted like a baby to others with confidence. At that time, she was young, and nothing was worth blaming, but now things have changed, and the past has been crushed by the years, leaving only a few ashes .

It would be hypocritical to speak like this.

She looked at Weiying nervously, as if waiting for a trial.

The girl didn't speak for a long time, then she tilted her head suddenly, her brows and eyes were crooked with a smile, she leaned over and grabbed her face: "You are so cute. Is there a kitchen here? I'll make you something to eat."

Yun Shao tugged at his sleeves in frustration, "No."

It turned out to be there, but it has not been used for a long time, and it has turned dust.

She began to regret that she didn't clean the kitchen. In the past, she seldom came here, but since she met Weiying, she came more and more frequently, more and more... she regarded this place as her home.

A home is one, even if there is no fire, no lights, no bells, drums and jade food, you can still find a warm place.

Wei Ying picked up the chopsticks, picked up a dumpling, coaxed her and said, "Then if I feed it to you, it's still my job, right?"
