Chapter 60 Silk Towels
Chen Yuan put down the book in his hand, raised his eyes and smiled, with a doting tone, "You can wake up even if you are tired. If you are tired, go back to the room and rest first. I will read books in the room, and you don't have to serve you."
Zhong Ling shook her head blankly, her eyes were blurred, and she stuttered: "Miss, when will we go to the palace?"
In the palace? I don’t know when it started, but Chen Yuan suddenly realized that it had been a while since he visited Jin Xi. Jin Xi did not send Yuxi out of the palace to visit him again. When he thought of entering the palace, Chen Yuan felt a little resistant, not for others, but for the cold and charming lady in the Shexiang Palace.
"Why are you going to enter the palace suddenly?" Although you have a good relationship with Jin Xi, it is better to go to the palace for less than silence.
"I, I dreamed of Yuxiu..." Zhong Ling seemed to be awake, and her eyes were filled with mist. Although she and Yuxiu were not brothers and sisters, they both grew up together and served Chen Yuan together, and they seemed to have a deep relationship. Now she has a strong premonition, which makes Zhong Ling wish she could not see Yuxiu in the palace immediately.
Chen Yuan's eyebrows hopped, and his voice was a little distant and dull: "How is she?"
"She, me," Zhong Ling was unwilling to say that unlucky word, and she became even more anxious for a moment. "Miss, Yuxiu hasn't left the palace for a long time, and she has been in the palace last time. The lady said she had something to do, and we waited for a day but didn't see her back."
The candlelight on the desk suddenly flashed, and Chen Yuan was also a little dazed in front of him. He had not seen Yuxiu for some days. He entered the palace a while ago to see if Yuxiu was better, but Jinxi smiled and said that she had entrusted Yuxiu to do something. Later, after chatting for a long time, he forgot that Yuxi had not come back. He just thought that Yuxi must be a steady and meticulous person in the palace, let alone Jinxi's side, who dared to be detrimental to her?
Now that I think about it, I feel something is wrong. I think I haven't seen that girl for two months, but if something really happened to Yuxiu, Jin Xi wouldn't hide it from him.
"Okay, find a suitable opportunity to visit our wife. Don't worry, it's just a dream, nothing will happen."
This sounds like comforting Zhong Ling, but Chen Yuan's inexplicable beating eyebrows also made her feel a little upset. Recently, everyone in the court and the country have been writing a letter to ask the emperor to establish a queen, and Ying Zhen often comes back late at night for this matter. Chen Yuan thought that if Jin Xi could get into the back seat, Xihua would probably be able to enjoy a corner for a few years. Next time she entered the palace, she would talk to her about this and see what she had plans.
That night, Chen Yuan was lying down with the lights off, hugging the corner of the quilt and thinking who would be the leader in the court. Logically, the emperor must have hoped that Mrs. Mi would be the queen. After all, Mrs. Mi had no background, so she had no worries about being the queen. Speaking of which, the emperor was quite good at proposing a title, and Mrs. Mi’s word Mi was quite particular.
It is rumored that Emperor Fuxi is also known as Mi Xi, and has a daughter who is the god of Luoshui, named Mi Nu. The weight of the word Mi can be seen, and Mi also means peace and silence, which is very similar to Mrs. Mi's temperament. She deserves the title of Mi, which is truly worthy of her reputation.
The word Chen obtained by Jin Xi also has a profound meaning. Chen is where Beichen is located, the hub of Xingtian, and can be the throne and the synonym of the throne. I wonder what the emperor gave Jin Xi's title, but what does it imply?
If the emperor wanted to confer Madam Mi as the queen, he shouldn't have given Jin Xi such an honor, but if not, Chen Yuan didn't think the emperor would like Jin Xi much. Could it be that Princess Xiangcheng wanted to use the harem to control the government? I heard that when Madam Chen was drafted that day, Princess Xiangcheng made a lot of efforts. Is there any connection between this?
Chen Yuan is not very familiar with other concubines and concubines in the harem, and their status is not very high...
Just as I was thinking, a figure suddenly flashed outside the window, and there was a clatter, as if something had fallen, which scared Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan originally wanted to call someone, but after the figure flashed, there was no other movement. It shouldn't be the one who assassinated her, could it be the one who rushed to the young master?
Chen Yuan hurriedly put on his clothes and stood up, but then he thought, it was wrong. The young master himself had some martial arts skills. Moreover, after he came, the mansion strengthened the mansion to protect it. It would be difficult for people outside to have the opportunity to break into the mansion...
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan gradually strengthened his courage, comforted himself and told himself not to be afraid. At worst, just call someone to come. Zhong Ling and the others are not far away...
She walked gently to the door and could vaguely hear the strong cold wind outside the house clamoring. She opened the door bolt and opened the door a small gap. The wind immediately jumped in through the small gap, blowing her hair flying, and she felt a chill rising to her heart.
No one? Could it be that she misread it?
Chen Yuan ignored the cold wind and opened the door a little wider. He carefully leaned out and looked out. The red lanterns on the corridor were shaking left and right by the wind, and the light and shadow flashed, making it even more weird.
"Maybe I've misunderstood, but there's someone!" Chen Yuan swallowed and was about to close the door. When her head lowered, she saw a bunch of silk scarf thrown there by the threshold.
It seems that someone has indeed come. Chen Yuan looked around in a hurry, then reached out to pick up the silk scarf.
Just as I was about to take a closer look, I suddenly heard a gentle voice coming from the corner: "Why haven't you been asleep yet?"
Chen Yuan was suddenly shocked and instinctively hid the silk scarf in her sleeve. It would be bad if Aunt Tang came to pass on something and was seen by him. Although he also helped Aunt Tang hide some things, Aunt Tang was not the young master's person.
Chen Yuan raised her head and smiled at Ying Zhen, "Young Master isn't sleeping, either?"
No answering and asking questions is the best way to cover up her panic. Chen Yuan suddenly felt that she was so ridiculous. It turned out that one day, she would also compete with the person she liked.
Ying Zhen walked over, his demeanor was leisurely, as if he was no different from usual, but his eyes did not look at Chen Yuan, and he seemed a little uncomfortable, "I just finished my official business, and I was a little hungry, and I was about to ask Mo Yan to get me some food..."
Chen Yuan nodded, "He has fallen asleep, why don't I prepare some food for the young master to wake them up." After saying that, Chen Yuan thought, it was wrong. He came out of the study room to find Mo Yan. He didn't come from this corner. The young master came here just now. Seeing that he was walking with a relaxed gait, he didn't seem to have found someone who had come to find him...
She looked up at Ying Zhen, and Ying Zhen hurriedly turned around and heard him say, "Forget it, it's a cold day, don't freeze you, don't eat it." In fact, he often handles things in the middle of the night and comes here to see Chen Yuan's closed door. Although he can't hear the movement inside through the door wall, he still feels relieved even if he stands quietly here.
Chen Yuan burst out laughing, "It turns out that the young master can lie too!"
She suddenly felt warm in her heart. The young master came to see her specifically. She was not hungry, she was really stubborn! But isn't the young master bored to her? Why... Chen Yuan couldn't figure it out and was unwilling to go deeper.
"But I'm a little hungry." Chen Yuan didn't eat much at night. He was really hungry after being disturbed by him. "Why don't we go to the kitchen to see what else?"
Ying Zhen had no choice but to ask her to wear more clothes, and then the two of them went to the kitchen together.
"Can you make a fire?" Chen Yuan closed the kitchen door and asked. It was midnight when they were looking for food here. If it was heard, it would definitely be laughed at. But this feeling was quite fun.
Ying Zhen nodded, rolled up his cuffs, revealing his fair wrists. He took the fire-making equipment from Chen Yuan's hand, and his warm fingers touched Chen Yuan's slightly cold hand. His eyebrows couldn't help but frown, "The hand is so cold, just rest early in the future."
Chen Yuan said oh, bent her lips unconsciously, and replied softly: "I understand."
"What do you want to eat?" Ying Zhen was a little embarrassed, "Besides making fire, I had to do my best to do the rest."
Chen Yuan pursed her lips and looked around. In fact, she wouldn't fiddle with these things. Seeing that there were still a few sweet potatoes in the vegetable basket, she said, "Why not roast two sweet potatoes?"
Ying Zhen was not vague, so he added some water to the pot, then lit the fire with a fire sliver, Chen Yuan put the washed sweet potatoes into the stove, and then sat on the side and watched Ying Zhen add firewood handfuls one by one.
The flames crackled in the stove, and the red light reflected on Ying Zhen's face. The warmth spread like an instant. They were like the poor and warm young couple among the people.
