"Hey, are the red plums already blooming?"

The dead branches and cold frost and snow in the garden are all over the place, and in this gray and white, a red plum tree is particularly dazzling.

The crowd couldn't help but walk forward.

When I walked in front of me, I was a little disappointed, it turned out that the tree was not blooming with red plums, but someone cut many window flowers with red paper and hung them on it, and I thought it was full of red plums from a distance.

The palace maid took one off and showed it to Zhao Guiren, Zhao Guiren took a closer look, it was the pattern of a birthday urn, not to mention the side, it was really exquisitely cut.

She couldn't help but look at the other cutouts on the tree, "Who cut this and hung on this?" It's ingenious. Could it be that the steward of the Imperial Garden did it? I'm afraid they don't have the brains to come up with such an elegant idea. ”

Qian Chang sneered and covered his mouth, "That's reasonable." Those rough minions don't have such skillful hands, and look, how nice these are! ”

The palace maids picked several paper-cuts and looked at them, and after seeing more of them, they found that the paper-cuts on this tree were either birthday urns or longevity peaches, or they were blessing characters or the like.

Zhao Guiren couldn't help but wonder, she walked around the peach tree, looked carefully at the paper-cut patterns on it, and suddenly saw a distinctive red purse hanging on the high branches, and the embroidery was very exquisite.

She reached for it, and the palace maid reminded in a low voice, "Master, slow down, the slave and maid will help you get ......"

Before the words fell, Zhao Guiren suddenly felt that his feet slipped, and the whole person threw himself towards the snow.

Qian and Sun often lost their colors in the flowers, and the palace maids exclaimed in surprise, and the red colors of the trees all lost their color at this moment......

"Your Majesty."

In the Kunning Palace, Yuan Zhi strode towards the palace.

Empress Zhou stepped forward to greet him with a big belly, but Yuan Zhi hurriedly stopped, "How is Zhao Guiren?" ”

The side hall was chaotic, with people coming in and out, and the sound of water and cloth calling, and Yuan Zhi couldn't help frowning when he heard it.

Empress Zhou hurriedly took his hand and relieved, "Your Majesty, don't worry, Zhao Guiren is fine." ”

Motoji breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's going on there?"

Empress Zhou said with a smile: "The imperial doctor said that Zhao Guiren is fine, but she is scared, and she has to rest." Just now, she had an accident in the Imperial Garden and sent Kunning Palace nearby, so let her rest in Kunning Palace at this time. But Zhao Guiren didn't say that Yuan'er was her life-saving benefactor, and seeing that Yuan'er broke her arm to save her, he hurriedly asked the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat her. ”

It turns out that calling water and cloth is not healing Zhao Guiren, but healing others.

Yuan Zhi said: "Is it the Yuan'er you brought back from the Imperial Garden?" ”

"yes."

The two sat down, Dan'er personally came to deliver tea, and Queen Zhou took a sip before saying: "I was just pregnant a short time ago, and the queen mother was worried that something would happen to me, so she sent Yuan'er to take care of me closely." Yuan'er has practiced martial arts, and her skills are excellent, so if something happens, she can help by her side. ”

"Why did Yuan'er save Zhao Guiren again?"

"I sent her to serve Zhao Guiren half a month ago, she is inseparable from Zhao Guiren on weekdays, and she happened to save her in an accident today."

Empress Zhou explained with a smile, but Yuan Zhi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, "There are very few palace maids who practice martial arts, and she is specially selected by the queen mother to you, are you willing to give it to Zhao Guiren?" ”

Yuan Zhi didn't know about this, if he knew, he would definitely stop it, after all, the dragon fetus in Queen Zhou's womb was much more valuable than Zhao Guiren.

That's the eldest son.

Empress Zhou lowered her head slightly, and said embarrassedly: "The concubine knows that if you tell the emperor, the emperor will definitely not approve." But the concubine thought that she was a month old, and she was always in Kunning Palace on weekdays, and she didn't step out of the gate, what could she do? On the contrary, it is Zhao Guiren, she is lively by nature and does not like to be stuffy, she needs personal protection more than me. ”

Yuan Zhi was distressed and happy when he heard this, he felt sorry for Queen Zhou's generosity and virtuousness, and would rather take risks to protect Zhao Guiren, and at the same time, he was also happy that this Yuan'er really saved Zhao Guiren at the critical moment.

"If it weren't for your generosity, I might have lost a child by now. Zhao Guiren is too careless, it is snowing heavily today, why does she still have to go out to play? ”

"Your Majesty!"

Zhao Guiren didn't know when she ran out of the side hall, and just heard Yuan Zhi's words, she immediately stepped forward with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, it's really not that the concubines are not careful, but someone deliberately wants to harm the concubines!" ”

These words were shocking, and the palace people waiting in the palace lowered their heads one after another.

Yuan Zhi glanced at Empress Zhou, Empress Zhou's face was embarrassed, and he said to Zhao Guidao: "If you have anything to say, sit down and say slowly, you are frightened today, don't be so excited." ”

Zhao Guiren stroked his stomach, sat down, and then slowly talked about what happened.

“…… I saw that the purse was very different and wanted to see what was inside. The purse was exactly the place where I could reach it with my hand, but I didn't know what was going on, so I stretched out my hand, and I felt that my feet were extremely slippery, and the whole person couldn't control it and fell to the ground. ”

Fortunately, Yuan'er was standing beside the concubine, and she pulled the concubine in time. But the ground was too slippery, and Yuan'er couldn't stand up, so she had to put herself on the ground, and the concubine fell into her arms to be safe. ”

Queen Zhou glanced at Dan'er, and Dan'er stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, after the incident, the slave maid immediately took the guards to the plum garden to block the scene. The guards found that the place where Zhao Guiren was standing was not snow, but ice. ”

"Nonsense."

Yuan Zhi frowned, "This snow has only been falling for a day, how can it become ice?" ”

"This slave doesn't know, the ice on the ground must not have melted at this time, if the emperor doesn't believe it, he can let Gonggong Ji also take a look."

"No need."

Yuanzhi waved his hand, Dan'er is the queen's person, he can trust the queen, and naturally he can trust Dan'er, "You just say that the result is." ”

Dan'er took out a big red purse from his arms, and Zhao Guiren looked at it and said, "Isn't this the purse hanging on the tree?!" ”

She was frightened just now, and then she saw that Yuan'er broke her arm and was busy asking the doctor to diagnose and treat Yuan'er, but she forgot about this thing.

If it weren't for picking up this purse, she wouldn't have fallen.

At this moment, the culprit is in Dan'er's hands, and she offers it to Yuanzhi with both hands, "The emperor can know the result when he looks at this purse." ”

She refused to say it explicitly, and there must be some taboo.

Xiao Jizi took the purse, looked left and right and didn't see any problems, so it was handed over to Yuanzhi, Yuanzhi saw that the purse was beautifully embroidered, no wonder Zhao Guiren wanted to get it.

When you pinch it, the inside of the purse is bulging.

He untied the sealed ribbon, only to see that it was a neatly folded rice paper.

The handwriting was familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere.

Yuan Zhi glanced at Queen Zhou, and when he saw the look of surprise in her eyes, he suddenly remembered whose word it was.
