The vestibule was clean and tidy, and it seemed that the courtiers were quite dedicated. All the way back along the vestibule is the main hall.

"What are you doing here?" Chen Jiao's puzzled voice came from behind.

Wu Jie smiled, "I just feel that this place is very familiar and comfortable."

"What's so comfortable? It's freezing cold." Chen Jiao looked around. Naturally, no one lived in a palace without a stove, and the whole hall was filled with the biting chill unique to early spring.

"Of course it's very comfortable." As Wu Jie said, she walked to the study in the side hall and stood by the window, "You don't know how beautiful the scenery here is. From here, you can just see the maple leaves in the backyard The forest, in autumn, is not to mention how beautiful it is. To the west is the plum blossom forest we came here, and to the south, there are pear trees planted there. When they are in full bloom in spring, they are so beautiful that people will be enchanted. In autumn, there are sweet pears to eat. Ah, there are several chestnut trees behind the pear grove, and you can pick up fallen chestnuts in the field in winter, and there is a nest of little squirrels living there.”

After falling out of favor, what else would make her grateful to Yuan Jing, maybe the yard that was finally arranged for her was not bad.

Cold, but it was exactly what she wanted.

Chen Jiao narrowed his eyes, "It sounds like you have lived here before."

Wu Jie laughed, "I'd really like to move here, but unfortunately I don't have a chance." After a pause, she continued, "It was the young eunuchs who were newly assigned to Bixiao Palace who talked about the scenery here. "

Chen Jiao snorted and looked around. "Although it is quiet here, the beams of the house are too high, and people will freeze to death in winter. Don't even think about your weak body."

Wu Jie was taken aback for a moment, she was indeed afraid of the cold, but she did not suffer from the cold in those years. The silver frost charcoal allocated by the inner government is still sufficient. One year, it seemed that two young eunuchs in the inner palace felt that they had fallen out of favor, and they used such good charcoal fire secretly to make up for it with second-rate Yu.

She couldn't tell, and soon she was choked up and coughed, and fell ill on the bed.

The news spread to the inner government, and soon the charcoal fire was replaced, and it was heard that the two young eunuchs who had pocketed their own money were also disposed of.

She inquired afterwards that it was Wan Chongji who secretly took care of him. Maybe it's because of the fact that she begged for him once during the few months when she was favored.

After walking out of the study, she returned to the main hall and sat on the middle seat.

During that long time, she often liked to sit like this, the sunlight outside the hall slanting in, covering her body warmly.

I thought would be locked in this yard for the rest of life. She simply emptied her mind, thinking about nothing, not looking at anything. Feel the hopelessness that time seems to be frozen.

She was reclining on the bench, the hardwood carvings on her back reflected the dark brown light, her lilac palace dress seemed to be integrated into this light, her slim waist showed a lazy and attractive arc , the drooping eyelashes concealed the brilliant eyes, and the whole person looked leisurely, but tired.

She was like a white bird flying through the winter, and finally reached a green beach, only to find that the green beach was strangely small and about to sink.

What is this strange feeling.

Chen Jiao stared blankly, and even thought that he had traveled through a long time.

It seems that many, many years ago, there was a slim figure leaning on the bench like this, feeling the slow passage of time.

Hopeless and sad, she will always be a bird in a golden cage.

To her, the years are just a tiring journey, and she can see through the remaining long days at a glance, but she doesn't know where the end is.

I'll be your end

Suddenly, his eye sockets were hot and humid, and he wanted to shout out, but something blocked his voice so that he could not speak.

This move came so abruptly and so intensely that he couldn't struggle at all, and could only sink willingly.

He could only turn around, trying not to let himself show a gaffe.

After a while, Wu Jie broke away from the short-term nostalgia. It's too cold here, it's not a place for people to stay.

She sat up, but as soon as she moved, she couldn't help but ouch.

Chen Jiao quickly turned around and asked "what's the matter?" His voice was still nasal.

I saw Wu Jie baring her teeth, lying on the chair for a long time unable to get up. She had been reclining for too long just now, and her legs and feet were numb. Because of the cold weather, her Qi and blood were not smooth, so she didn't even notice it. Today's activities are sore and tingling.

"My leg is numb, give me a pinch." Wu Jie immediately waved to Chen Jiao.

Chen Jiao was taken aback for a moment and hesitated.

Wu Jie urged impatiently, "Hurry up", it was just a matter of lifting a finger, but this guy actually pushed back. The more you stay, the colder it gets, so it's better to go back to the stove as soon as possible.

Chen Jiao had no choice but to come to the seat, he squatted down, lifted one of her feet, put it on her leg and kneaded it.

The flexible fingers touched her calf, and through the thin fabric, one could feel the unparalleled tenderness and delicacy.

Her body was trembling slightly, and a sweet fragrance came out, as if there was a little fresh fragrance of plum blossoms.

Chen Jiao frowned, he could only try not to look at her, and put all his attention on his palm.

He was very strong, Wu Jie was pinched and called out, she felt ashamed, but she tried to hold back, the tone changed to a low moan.

Chen Jiao couldn't bear it any longer, and said in a low voice, "Stop screaming!"

Wu Jie frowned, "Your hands are too strong."

Chen Jiao took a long breath, and finally threw her calf and stood up.

Wu Jie sat up and looked up, Chen Jiao had already walked towards the door quickly, "If you don't go, I will go first." His voice had a strong nasal tone, as if he was very impatient.

It's just a small favor and it's so evil, what can I say to help myself solve the trouble. Wu Jie curled her lips and finally said nothing.

Fortunately, after a while of kneading just now, the legs have regained consciousness.

She came down and quickly followed his pace.

The two left the gate of Changqiu Pavilion one after the other.

Just as Wu Jie was about to say something, Chen Jiao in front of her stopped suddenly.

Then, in Wu Jie's shocked sight, that tall figure swayed and disappeared suddenly.

Wu Jie's eyes widened, he was flying to the sky, where did he go?

It was too late to answer this question, because Wu Jie saw the figure of the emperor on the opposite side.

Yuan Jing was walking from the direction of the plum blossom forest, there was only one person, not even Wan Chongji, his delicate eyebrows were frowned, as if he was just passing by here.

Wu Jie thought about it, and remembered that before leaving the Compassionate Ning Palace, she heard the news that Yu Jia came to visit her. He just watched how the queen mother left and came here.

Yuan Jing's face was gloomy, recalling the dispute with Queen Mother Hong just now. Today, he needs a place, in a corner that no one in the palace can see, to release those complicated emotions and pressure.

Passing by the palace gate of Changqiu Pavilion, he paused and saw Wu Jie.

She was standing on the trail with a plum blossom in her arms. The flowers bloom just right, but they are not as bright as her face, just like beautiful jade.

Wu Jie had no choice but to go forward and salute.

I didn't expect that there were still people in such a remote place. Yuan Jing took a long breath and suppressed his irritability, "Why are you here?"

"The concubine's hand stove was left behind, and the maid went to get it. The concubine was waiting here, and it was cold in the forest, so she found a yard to take shelter."

Although the emperor just asked casually, Wu Jie answered very cautiously. Based on her understanding of Yuan Jing, the anger just now was very exposed. It is likely that the Empress Dowager Hong made him unhappy again.

For the sake of safety, she didn't mention the Compassion Palace at all. But Yuan Jing still guessed it, he nodded, "I just walk around casually, you can do what you want."

Wu Jie breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this guy likes to hold back when he gets angry, and doesn't like to find out the pump.

She saluted cleverly, "The concubine will leave." After finishing speaking, she quickly ran away.

Walk down the path outside Changqiu Pavilion and enter the forest in front.

Someone jumped down from the top of the tree again.

It's really convenient for this elusive guy to have martial arts. Wu Jie stared at him, squinted her eyes, a little displeased with this guy's behavior of leaving her and running away just now.

Probably aware of this displeasure, Chen Jiao laughed dryly, "You are his concubine, it doesn't matter if you see her, I can't."

Wu Jie snorted coldly, "Why, is it possible that you are still afraid that he will take a fancy to you and bring you into the harem?"

Chen Jiao choked on her.

Thinking in this direction, Wu Jie said casually, "That's not too bad. In the future, you can still be a noble person in the palace. No matter what you want to find, it will be more convenient."

"Don't talk nonsense." Chen Jiao's face darkened, and he gave her a glare.

Wu Jie snorted, "I'm just talking about the facts. If the emperor really takes a fancy to you and insists on being lucky, what can you do?" The beauties in the harem, whether they are concubines or maids, are the emperor's reasoning, and they are used to sleep. Whether he sleeps or works hard, it's all up to him. Chen Jiao's face is outstanding, if Yuan Jing sees it, maybe he will really be tempted.

Chen Jiao showed a sinister smile, "Then he will be ready to be a eunuch."

Wu Jie was taken aback, and soon her face was full of admiration, "I never thought that Madam would be so affectionate and unyielding to His Highness Prince Fu. The Great Wei court really owes you a chastity archway."

"You..." Chen Jiao showed anger and wanted to refute, but was suddenly taken aback. Immediately, he restrained his expression and lowered his head.

In the blink of an eye, he became that well-behaved little court lady again. Wu Jie immediately realized that someone was approaching again.

This road is really non-stop.

She looked forward, and after a while, a group of people hurried over, Wan Chongji and several young eunuchs from Qian'an Palace, and Yin Changqing, the commander of the Imperial Army on duty.

When Wan Chongji saw Wu Jie, he immediately saluted.

Wu Jie avoided half of it, and said with a smile, "Boss Wan is looking for the emperor, I just saw the emperor walking over there."

Wan Chongji was overjoyed, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your advice, concubine." Then he hurried to the direction of Changqiu Pavilion.

Yin Changqing took a step behind, passed by the two of them, and greeted Chen Jiao, "Miss Gui Po."

He seemed to have something to say, but Chen Jiao's face was cold, and he lowered his head and ignored him.

Yin Changqing had no choice but to follow Wan Chongji's footsteps.

Soon the group walked away.

Wu Jie looked at Yin Changqing's disappearing figure, then at someone's dark face, and suddenly asked, "That General Yin seems to be thinking about you."

Chen Jiao glanced at her coldly, "It's not all because of you."

Wu Jie laughed dryly, "The last time you fell into the water, he was the one who rescued you. It's also fate."

Chen Jiao sneered, "Then I should thank your concubine for the fate."

There was a murderous intent in his eyes, Wu Jie swallowed, rationally did not continue to provoke.
