A few days after the vernal equinox, the drizzle continued, moistening everything but ruining the Lanyue Palace, which had been in disrepair for a long time. Although Qi Xiao had someone repair it, it was only a simple renovation. The tiles on the roof were out of place or cracked somewhere, and the back of the screen in the outer hall was dripping all over the place.

This is often the case in Lanyue Palace, when there is light rain, small leaks, heavy rain and heavy leaks, Chang'er is not surprised, and has already brought a wooden basin below to catch a small half bucket of water.

It may be the first time for Mo Claw to see this scene. It is sitting in front of the wooden basin intently, catching little drops of rainwater falling from the roof with its front paws that seem to be stained with ink. When it is very interesting, it does not forget to call out .

The three maids checked inside and out to see if there were any leaks in other places, which should be the reason for the previous repairs. This time, there was only one leak in the front hall in the entire Lanyue Palace. Qian, through the carved and hollowed-out decorations on the screen, I saw two people coming in from outside the door.

One year old and one young, the elder was the eunuch Liu who sent the imperial decree last time, this time he still looked contemptuous and contemptuous like last time, when he entered the door, he saw the wet floor Looking at it, she twitched her nose, covered her upper lip with her hand and asked, "Where's your master?"

Walking out from behind the screen, Chang'er recognized the person in front of her, and seeing his pretentious appearance, she felt a wave of disgust in her heart, "Master is out on business." Chang'er saluted, and shook the cleaning cloth in her hand Holding it in his hand, "I don't know why Eunuch Liu will come here?"

"Going out of the palace?" Eunuch Liu looked around, but he did not see Qi Bing, "Your Majesty will summon her now, do you know when she will come back?"

"This..." Chang'er squeezed the cleaning cloth in her hand, feeling a little flustered, Qi Zhe usually leaves the palace in the morning or in the afternoon, and he only leaves the house after today's time, so it should be Shen time Only then can I return.

Tell Eunuch Liu the truth, and as expected, the other party stared and became nervous: "What? Shen Shi?" After taking a few steps back and forth, he turned his head and said to the young man who was following him, "Little Anzi, you stay and wait. If the princess comes back, take her immediately." To His Majesty."

After saying this, he turned and walked out of Lanyue Palace.

As soon as he left, Chang'er made a face in the direction he was leaving, which made her feel more at ease. She left the little eunuch standing blankly by the door, scratched her head in embarrassment, and said hello : "Why is this little eunuch standing still? The princess will not be back for another hour or two. Let me make you a cup of tea."

Xiao Anzi has been in the palace for more than two years, and has been with Eunuch Liu. He is a simple child who does not have the city, and has never been taught less. After a long time, he has become timid and dare not act rashly. Er wanted to pour tea for him, but hurriedly refused: "Miss, you don't need it, I'll just stand up."

"Little Eunuch, you are welcome." Chang'er enthusiastically pulled Xiao Anzi to the stool, "Wait here for a while, I'll make tea."

Sitting restrained on the chair, Xiao Anzi cupped his hands and said, "Miss, I'm sorry. Also, just call me Xiao Anzi."

Chang'er smiled, put the cleaning cloth in his hand back on the ground, and poked his head out from behind the screen: "Then don't call me a girl, just call me Chang'er."

After boiling water and making tea and handing it to Xiao Anzi, Chang'er started busy with the work at hand. Mo Zha was a little curious when he saw the stranger, so he leaned over and sniffed at his feet a few times. He jingled the bell around his neck and went back to stare at the basin of water in a daze.

The nervousness at the beginning slowly eased, and after drinking a few sips of tea, Xiaolu poured him another cup. Seeing that he was not as restrained as before, she casually picked up some topics to pass the time, nothing more than anecdotes from the palace fun.

Although I have a very bad impression of Eunuch Liu's Chang'er, I don't have much grudge against this little Anzi. I think he is sincere and easy-going, unlike his master Liu Eunuch, who is tricky and eccentric.

I don't know how many cups of tea have been poured, and the topic is about the same. Mozhua lying on the ground suddenly raised his head, turned his furry ears left and right, squinted his eyes and called to the door, got up lazily and walked to the door Stare outside.

The rain will gradually subside, and the patter of rain will hit the green tiles and green eaves to merge into drops of rainwater dripping down the stone steps along the rafters, and there will be a bang in the wooden barrel.The scenery in the courtyard and the gray color of the sky are mixed into a gray one. Outside the open vermilion gate, a person is walking slowly with a gray-white oil umbrella. Against the clearer air washed by the rain, it looks like a picture of water color. ink painting.

Xiao Anzi stood up, and saw that the person who came was a young man with curly hair, wearing a gray long jacket with the clarity of spring rain, a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, his white teeth and blue eyebrows were as beautiful as crown jade, and a few strands of blue hair scattered Hanging on his rain-stained shoulders, he is a graceful and handsome young man.

"Master, you're back." Chang'er heard the movement outside, and came to help Qi Ping wipe the rain off his body.

Mo Zhua, who was standing at the door just now, will now be lingering affectionately around Qi Ping's feet, and Lao Gao, with his tail upright, rubs his head against Qi Ping like a baby, and keeps making meowing sounds.

Only then did Xiao Anzi recognize the young man and it was Yihe and the princess, hurriedly paid respects to him, and then explained the purpose of his visit.

Qi Ping bent down and hugged Mo Zha in his arms. He heard that Qi Xiao was looking for her, and it happened more than an hour ago. After asking why, Xiao Anzi couldn't answer. As a slave, he can only obey orders, how could he? to explore the truth.

Seeing Xiao Anzi's uneasy expression, Qi Ping smiled while stroking Mo Zhua's hair: "I'm going to change clothes and go with you right now, please wait a moment, little eunuch."

After staying in the palace for more than two years, I have heard a lot of rumors, true and false, inside and outside. As the saying goes, life is involuntary, Xiao Anzi knows very well that the water in the palace is unpredictable, and the disaster comes from the mouth Come out from your mouth, try not to get involved in those gossips, but I have heard a lot of rumors about Princess Yihe.

The scattered information allowed Xiao Anzi to piece together a general appearance. Seeing the cold and arrogant temperament of the empress today, the person who pieced it together should also look aloof and unreliable.

I was fortunate enough to see a real person when I invited Qi Zhi to participate in the Lantern Festival dinner. He was not high-ranking, but he was unreal, standing in a light-colored shirt.

After that, the imaginary person and the real person would always fail to match up, and seeing each other again today, Xiao Anzi really couldn't figure out the princess, and stood in the living room thinking a lot.

Not long after, Qi Ping changed out of his long jacket, put on his usual clothes, and came out of the back room with his hair down. He saw Xiao Anzi standing there with his head bowed, and said with a smile, "I've kept my eunuch waiting for a long time. Just take me to His Majesty, I'm sorry."

Xiao Anzi is just the eunuch with the lowest status, no official or rank, not to mention those with official rank, even the eunuchs and maids who entered the palace later than him didn't pay attention to him, Eunuch Liu just wanted to see whether he was honest or not. He moved his lips and tongue, and left him by his side to do some thankless things, so he was often criticized.

Today in Lanyue Palace, not only did he receive tea, even the current princess treated him with courtesy, Xiao Anzi hurriedly shook his head in fear: "Princess, my servant Xiao Anzi, I will take you to your majesty."

The two walked outside the door, Xiao Anzi picked up the oil umbrella that was resting outside the door, the stone surface under the oil umbrella was covered with water, opened the oil umbrella and raised it over Qi Ping's head, the rain outside was light But it kept going on and on, Qi Bao glanced at Xiao Anzi inexplicably, understood what he meant, waved his hand and refused: "You can hold this umbrella, I will let Shang'er take another one, the rain in the early spring is cold, It's easy to get wind evil when it's drenched."

The hand holding the umbrella trembled imperceptibly. Since entering the palace, who has been careful about his body? Everyone in the palace is wise and selfish. The people at the lowest level, apart from being a man with their tails clamped, may be just a pedal for those in power, and they may not even know how to die that day.

But today, in front of this person who only met once, he is no longer a slave, a tool that comes and goes when called, but an individual.

A simple sentence made Xiao Anzi feel a burst of warmth, and he still held the umbrella in his hand and said softly: "Why don't you let the princess hold the umbrella by herself, just let the servant do the work."

"It's not that I don't have hands." Qi Ping laughed, and took the umbrella handed by Chang'er, "Let's go, don't make His Majesty wait too long."

Seeing Qi Ping standing with an umbrella and walking into the rain, Xiao Anzi calmed down the emotions surging in his heart, clenched the handle of the umbrella tightly in his hand, walked to Qi Ping's side and bowed: "Princess, the slave will lead you the way."

Hurrying to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and being told that Qi Xiao had returned to Ninggan Palace, the two of them did not dare to be negligent and held up umbrellas to arrive at Qi Xiao's bedroom one after the other.

It has been nearly two hours since the time passed, and Qi Ping was not sure whether Qi Xiao would still look for her. The two went outside the gate of Ninggan Palace and informed the guards outside the door. After a while, a maid came out and let Qi Ping in .

It was the first time I walked into Qi Xiao's bedroom, the magnificent carved railings and jade bricks were really different from Lanyue Palace, the maid led Qi Ping to a side hall, poured tea and asked Qi Ping to wait for a while.

After sitting down and taking a sip of tea, another maid came in, saluted Qi Zhi, and said, "Princess, Your Majesty, please come over."

Following the palace lady through the long corridor, passing the magnificent Danying and carved Jue, surrounded by Zhulan Qusills, and walking for about half a cup of tea, the endless corridor made Qi Ping couldn't help asking: "Where is this?" Where are you going?"

The maid lowered her head and said, "Longquan Pool."

"Ah?" Can't help but exclaim, this Longquan Pool is Qi Xiao's bathing place, why take her there.

Seeing the surprised expression on Qi Zhi's face, the palace maid explained while leading the way: "Your Majesty is taking a bath, and just now I heard that the princess is coming, so I asked my servant to take you there."

Qi Zhi's expression changed all of a sudden, and finally turned into a complicated smile, and he followed behind the palace maid wordlessly.
