Chapter 123 Xiaoyao Dao 17

These two most powerful people in Kyoto are the high priest and the other is the queen mother who ruled the country from behind the curtain.

The Witch Palace was originally just an institution responsible for royal sacrifices, but later it gradually evolved into a temple rooted in the temple.After assisting the Empress Dowager in controlling the government, his power also reached its peak.

It is not surprising to say that one person is below one person and above ten thousand people.

The puppet prince that everyone thinks is actually supported by powerful forces behind the scenes.

This little young priest's mansion is like a small boat in the waves.

Chen Rong opened a furnace of pills, put the nine pills inside into the porcelain bottle, and handed them to Qing'an: I won't accept orders in the future, do you understand?

Shopkeeper, are we going to change careers?Qing'an wondered, Rong Diaoge's business is making money every day, which is very good.He could never think of a more profitable way than this.

no.Chen Rong sighed: Your master, I am going to do a big business. After getting all these orders done, I will stop washing my hands.

Ah?Qing'an was blinded by her words. Is it so sudden?

Chen Rong manages Rong Diaoge well, and he will stop doing it if he says he doesn’t do it. It’s a pity.

Well, but the shop is still here. Didn’t my mother mention that she wants to live elsewhere and is not used to Kyoto?Chen Rong wiped his hands with the veil handed over by Xiao Ling, without any joking intentions. So I am going to send you to another place. If you don’t take good care of it, I will only ask.

Yes, yes, how could I not do what the shopkeeper ordered?Although Qing'an was confused, he didn't ask much.

He knew Chen Rong's unique character, and her work made people feel appropriate and reliable, so he just did what the shopkeeper said.

Chen Rong was still relieved about Qing'an. Although this kid was quite tempted, he was smart. Even if he left Kyoto, he could live a good life. And with Daju and Xiaoling, he had nothing to worry about.

Chen Rong added: Sister Diao will send you away, it is safer.

She has just gotten the high priest and has no intention of getting out of here, but she cannot let Guo Xiulan and the others stay in such a dangerous environment.

If she did the same as last time, she would be so irresponsible.

This will be peaceful in Kyoto for a few days and I can't take care of so much.

After hearing Chen Rong say this, Qing'an realized the seriousness of the matter and said solemnly: Yes, don't worry, the shopkeeper, I will definitely protect my wife and Baoer's brother.

Chen Rong nodded with relief.

After she refined the elixir in the shop, she took Guo Xiulan and the others to the largest restaurant for a meal, ordered a large table of dishes, and also gave her farewell meal.

Mom, I have something to tell you.I want to send you to Jiangnan for a while, how about you?Chen Rong picked up a lot of talents for Chen Baoer, but he still spoke a little embarrassedly.

Guo Xiulan hesitated: Are you hiding something from me?Why did we leave Kyoto so suddenly?

Chen Rong smiled, not hiding it from her: Because the court environment is complicated now, I am now the disciple of the young priest, so I am afraid it will be difficult to stay out of it.

Guo Xiulan nodded. She knew nothing, so she naturally didn't want to be a drag on Chen Rong, so she instructed: Then you are alone in Kyoto, so you must be careful in everything.My mother is increasingly confused about your ideas, but she knows that you are a good and independent child.I don’t ask for wealth and honor, I just want a family to be safe and sound.

Chen Rong patted her on the shoulder, Don't worry, I will go to find you when things are settled.

Qing'an coughed twice and raised his glasses: Don't look so depressed, everyone, come on, let's cheer, anyway, we will meet again soon.

Chen Rong nodded and raised his glass with a smile: Come on, thank you for being with me during this period.

There is a banquet that will last forever in the world.

I don’t know when I will meet again this time.

Chen Rong drank a lot of wine, and at the end of the banquet, he gave all the savings he had earned in Rong Diao Pavilion to Guo Xiulan.

I have exchanged all the gold and silver bills for you to bring them with you. In addition, there are also these broken silvers for some use on the road.Chen Rong breathed out: I hired a guard to protect you, and I can help you see the house when I get there. By the way, remember to pay ten taels of silver to others every year.

Chen Rong was amused by his last words.

Pack up tomorrow and leave early in the morning the day after tomorrow.

Guo Xiulan's eyes were red: You gave me all the money, what should you do?

I still have money, and I can't spend money even if I live in the Young Priest's Mansion.Chen Rong comforted: My matter is resolved, and I will go to find you right away.

Guo Xiulan nodded and got on the carriage.

Chen Rong stood alone at the restaurant, brightly lit and lively everywhere, but her slender figure seemed a little lonely.

Go home.A voice sounded.

Chen Rong turned around and saw a carriage that had been docked here for a long time, but the person who lifted the curtain turned out to be Fengque.

Chen Rong was stunned for a moment, put his cloak together, got on the carriage, and sat down. Why are you here?How long have you been waiting for me here?You won't have dinner, are you?

Fengque moved his eyes unnaturally.

She heard that Chen Rong had not come back all day and asked Qiuye to help recruit guards. She felt something was wrong and went to Rong Diaoge habitually, but the door was closed and there was no one there.

She thought Chen Rong was leaving, so she found this place and waited for her to go downstairs.

I didn't eat.

Rong Diaoge didn’t open the door today?Fengque asked and added another sentence, I happened to see you, so I waited here.

Chen Rong nodded and sniffed. It was very cold outside. He opened the curtain and saw that it was covered with silver on the outside. The branches were covered with ice branches, the eaves were white, and the sky was also white gray, pressing down low.

I won’t be able to run Rong Diaoge in the future, and I don’t have the heart to refine alchemy now. Look at me, with a big financial backer like you, I naturally don’t have to go out to work hard, right?Chen Rong joked.

Unexpectedly, Fengque looked at her steadily and nodded: OK.

Chen Rong met her serious eyes, and for some reason, his heartbeat suddenly missed, and he looked away awkwardly.This is the first woman who wants to raise her.

If you like to go to Rongdiao Pavilion for tea, then I will leave the shop and change it to a teahouse.

Fengque just likes the purity there.

Are you leaving Kyoto?

Chen Rong shook his head and thought to himself that she had misunderstood, but she found it funny when she was striking indirectly. It was not Ah, but my mother couldn't live here, so I'll send them away.I'll stay here.

Fengque lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Chen Rong rented a carriage and asked Senior Diao to accompany Guo Xiulan and his party to go south. When he was sure that there was no spy, he found a good place to settle down.

The villa was also empty in an instant.

Chen Rong sighed, stood at the entrance of the city wall and watched the ordinary carriage roll with wheels away, and the sound gradually faded away, with only the noise of Kyoto hawking in his ears.

She turned around and walked a few steps when she met an old acquaintance.

Mrs. Lin was just taken to Kyoto and then came out to breathe. Compared to her previous arrogance and elegance in the village, her face is now much yellow and haggard, but it is as difficult as ever.

Are they all fools?Mrs. Lin slapped the maid in the face, and I asked you to take me to the restaurant, who asked you to take me to such a broken place!Did I not give enough money?How come the master has kept you vixen!

Madam, I'm sorry, I know my mistake... The maid was beaten and knelt down quickly and cried and said: It was Madam who said she wanted a lively place...

Mrs. Lin kicked her: I tell you, I thought I was so fooled, so I was just standing there and selling her to me in the tram, right away!

Don't not Mrs. Ah, don't!The maid was so scared that her face was pale. She hugged Mrs. Lin's leg and begged for mercy, but was lifted away by the guard.

Many people pointed at each other, thinking that this person was too harsh and didn't know whose wife was so domineering.

Chen Rong was a little surprised when he saw Mrs. Lin, but she was the wife of Village Chief Lin, so it was normal for her to be taken to Kyoto. She couldn't help but say that the enemy was narrow.

stop!

When Chen Rong was about to leave, he was suddenly stopped and turned around and saw Mrs. Lin pointing at her.

Chen Rong, it’s this bitch Chen Rong!Mrs. Lin said why she kept picking her eyelids, but she didn't expect to meet Chen Rong. Just like Ah, I'm looking for you everywhere, and you even sent her to my eyelids to death!I will never let you go today!

Chen Rong looked at Mrs. Lin contemptuously, and said in a sarcastic tone: Why is Mrs. so angry?It is really embarrassing to be so tyrannical in public. If you ask me to stop, I don’t know someone like you.

Don't you know me?Do you think you don’t know Chen Rong if you put on good clothes and pretend to be a rich man?Mrs. Lin laughed loudly, wishing she could be cut off her, and said to the servants beside her: Take this little bitch down quickly!

Chen Rong looked at her dress and guards, probably Village Chief Lin had already re-officially re-officially?Otherwise, where did you get such a big situation?

Madam, you have to consider your words and deeds. I am not a soft persimmon, so I can let you control it.

Seeing that Chen Rong was powerless, the attendant never thought that she could have the power to resist. She rushed over recklessly, but was kicked over by her.

Ouch The guards fell to the ground.

Why is Mrs. Lin still so reckless?Chen Rong looked at Mrs. Lin, curled her lips and said contemptuously: This is Kyoto, not that small place anymore. Even if you become a Lady of Official, you don’t have the ability to move me.

If you kill my son, I will not let you go.Mrs. Lin glared at Chen Rong hatefully.

There were people coming and going on the street, and when they saw the movement, they gathered over to join in the fun.

Look at you like a crazy woman.Chen Rong snorted: Your son is short of his life, don’t throw dirty water on me casually.

Princess Jiangcheng came back from burning incense from the temple and was sleeping in the sedan chair. The carriage stopped and then slowly opened her eyes. She opened the curtain and saw that the crowd was blocked along the street.

He asked the maid with some confusion: Go down and see what happened before.

The maid came back soon and reported: It was Zhangguan Chen who was blocked by a middle-aged woman, saying that Zhangguan Chen killed her son.

Princess Jiangcheng was stunned for a moment. Although she didn't understand Chen Rong, she still felt good about her current appearance. She heard that Rong Diao Pavilion would no longer open the door yesterday.

Help me down quickly.Princess Jiangcheng said to the maid.

Mrs. Lin’s resentment towards Chen Rong has been going on for more than a day.

Chen Rong looked at her indifferently and was so angry that she was angry. Although the other party wanted to put her on the spot, no one was useful to get Chen Rong's body close, and it was just a small fuss.

I tell you, as long as you are in Kyoto, you can't escape!Mrs. Lin was also angry.

Lao Shi didn’t know who was so angry that even Lao Shi’s guests dared to move?Princess Jiangcheng walked into the crowd, and the crowd made way out of the way. Seeing Chen Rong inside, he was calm, but the woman opposite was full of dirty words without any image. You are so brave to bully a little girl in the street!

The maid glanced at Mrs. Lin, who had not figured out the situation, and cursed: You, a bitch who is not open, will you not kneel down when you see us princess?

Mrs. Lin was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, she saw a group of kneeling around her, and then she realized it and quickly knelt down, sweating in cold sweat: The civilian woman didn't know that the princess was coming, but she had some personal grudges with Chen Rong...

Chen Rong is the guest of honor in my princess’s mansion, how can you be bullied?Princess Jiangcheng snorted, and at first he was puzzled, but he looked like a shrew at first.

Chen Rong bowed to Princess Jiangcheng: Thank you, Princess.

Princess Jiangcheng helped Chen Rong and comforted him a few words. Seeing their familiar appearance, Mrs. Lin realized that Chen Rong was no longer the yellow-haired girl back then.

Which one do you belong to?Princess Jiangcheng glanced at Mrs. Lin and refused to let her get up.

Although Mrs. Lin was angry, she was not too brainless to drag down her family, so she quickly admitted her mistake: It was a civilian woman who didn’t know Mount Tai and hit the princess. The civilian woman just came to Kyoto to visit her relatives...

Humph, since you don’t say it, just check it yourself.Princess Jiangcheng sneered twice despite Mrs. Lin's begging for mercy. She relies on her old age and has to protect Manager Chen. What kind of person is she? What kind of person are you?This Kyoto is not a place where you can do something bad.

Since Princess Jiangcheng said she wanted to investigate, this is a big deal.When Lin Chao arrived, his official uniforms had not even had time to change, and he rushed into the crowd and knelt down.

Princess, the princess was relieved. She came from the countryside and had no knowledge. If she offended the princess, she would be incompetent in managing her family.Lin Chao looked at Mrs. Lin with a grudge and said that his wife was simply an enemy and was just trying to find trouble for him.

Although Mrs. Lin was unwilling to give up, she could only break her teeth and swallow it into her stomach.

Princess, since they admit their mistakes and have a good attitude, let them go.Chen Rong took the lead and said that it was her reason for the incident. Princess Jiangcheng vented her anger for her. She would naturally not give up without her. Mrs. Lin and I only saw some misunderstandings, but I didn't expect that she would hold a grudge against me so much. However, I was young and ignorant and did not handle the matter properly.

Lin Chao was also extremely surprised when he saw Chen Rong and decided that Chen Rong was the one who killed his son. However, the murderer not only went to justice, but also became a guest of honor in the princess's mansion in one fell swoop, and he also pleaded for him. This was simply a great humiliation!

He probably understood why his wife was in trouble. Any place where Chen Rong, the broom star, would be in peace.

Look at how generous the shopkeeper Chen is. Look at you, you are still an official. It is really embarrassing that the court has such a disaster as you!Princess Jiangcheng cursed, and she was also sorry that she was unable to make a living.

Mrs. Lin wanted to tear away Chen Rong's mask, but she could only bit her lips and speak: What the princess taught is that we are grateful for the generousness of the shopkeeper Chen.

Princess Jiangcheng waved her hand impatiently: Go down.

Chen Rong expressed his gratitude respectfully again: Thank you, Princess for speaking for me, Chen Rong will definitely come to thank you another day.

Nothing wrong, just a trivial matter.Princess Jiangcheng smiled kindly and still valued Chen Rong very much. Since this is the case, Lao Shi will take the lead and then there will be such an eye-opening thing in the future. Just find Lao Shi to make the decision for you.

Chen Rong nodded: Yes.

She didn't want to bother others. She was more or less owed favors, but she was accidentally hit.

When Chen Rong met these two disappointed people, his mood of parting was diluted a lot. When he returned to the Young Priest's Mansion, he found that there were many maids and people from the Witch Palace standing outside the door. He couldn't help but exclaim, lifted his skirt and ran into the mansion.

Fengque was changing clothes in the room. Unexpectedly, Chen Rong suddenly broke in. She was startled by her and hurriedly tied her shirt.

Why did you come in?

Chen Rong breathed a sigh of relief: I thought something happened to you. I was scared to death when I saw so many people outside just now.He looked at Fengque's gorgeous clothes again: Are you going to do a serious business?

Fengque nodded: I want to meet the queen mother, the prince’s wedding will be organized by the Witch Palace.

Chen Rong thought that this was indeed the case, but he was too fussy.

Do you want to come with me?Fengque asked suddenly.

I?A trace of confusion flashed in Chen Rong's eyes, and he couldn't help laughing: If I went with you, wouldn't the high priest be angry to death?Wouldn't you feel embarrassed?

Fengque lowered his head and thought about what happened before, and couldn't help laughing: No, it's your own ability to be angry with her. Why do others say you are wrong?

Chen Rong was fearless when he got Fengque's words. He went back and changed his clothes, and followed Fengque to the carriage to the palace.

This is the first time she has gone back to the palace of this dynasty.

From a distance, you can see the bright yellow eaves and towering palace walls. The carriage entered from the west gate and entered the imperial city along the avenue.

I got off the bus when I arrived at Xuanwu Gate. Many palace ladies were wearing white palace outfits, but they all had expressionless expressions, just like puppets carrying strings.

Meet the young priest.

Fengque walked forward without looking sideways, and Chen Rong followed her, feeling that the palace was really lifeless.

When we arrived at the inner palace, there were more and more pools of Pavilion and Mountains, and strange flowers and plants were blooming in full bloom, without the feeling of winter at all. The eaves were raised like geese spreading their wings were about to fly into the sky.

This should be the harem, right?Chen Rong asked in a low voice, shouldn’t the prince’s marriage be discussed in the main hall?It's really strange.

Fengque saw her doubts and explained: Let's go directly to the Queen Mother's bedroom.

Chen Rong nodded thoughtfully. The empress dowager's power seemed to be a big blow. It would be strange if the Beiyu City did not rebel.

Even if you are not qualified to discuss the wedding together, you are clearly arranged. This prince really needs some psychological quality.

You will meet the Queen Mother and the High Priest later.Fengque glanced at Chen Rong and smiled inexplicably, with the emotions in his eyes a little complicated.

It is said that the high priest helped Fengque to this position, but he wanted to break her wings and let her make a chess piece.

However, Fengque is not a person who can be willing to be manipulated. They are afraid of each other, but they have to maintain harmony.

I'm really curious.Chen Rong curled the corner of his mouth. This empress dowager is so powerful, I don’t know what kind of person he is.

The Queen Mother's bedroom is only one Fengque away, but the Queen Mother, the main master, has not come yet.

After Fengque entered the house and sat down, Chen Rong stood obediently behind her, looking at her nose and his heart as a background board to avoid causing trouble for Fengque.

Do you eat it?There was a hand in front of her, twisting a golden and crisp chestnut crisp.

Chen Rong met Fengque's eyes in surprise. When she was in the carriage, she heard Fengque say the delicious food in the palace. She really said something she hadn't eaten chestnut crisp for a long time, but on this occasion...

Chen Rong took it and stuffed it into his mouth. He felt countless gazes falling on his body. He chewed it on his own with a steady state, and nodded: It's quite delicious.

I heard that Que'er was obedient to his apprentice, and now it seems that this is true.The high priest looked at Fengque meaningfully, and his red lips curled up a sarcastic arc. However, it is not OK for a servant to not understand the rules at all. What do you think of Que'er?

Fengque raised his eyes coldly and looked straight into the high priest's eyes, word by word, without any intention of giving in: She is not a servant.

Haha, you are really soft-hearted as always.The high priest covered his mouth with a peacock feather fan, and his smile trembled: I still remember when you were six years old, you were bitten by a dog, but you still have to protect it.I paused: Later I asked someone to stew the dog and feed it to you, but you still refused to eat it... I said you were too soft-hearted at that time.

Fengque's face changed slightly. From Chen Rong's perspective, she could see her long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was suppressing something.

Chen Rong frowned, feeling a little sorry for Fengque. He looked up at the high priest, his voice was scattered. I see, you really can't spit out ivory from your mouth. Don't always smile. Look at how old your face looks.

The high priest slapped the table and glared at Chen Rong: What did you say?You say it again.

I said, what are you old like, don’t be smart here.After Chen Rong finished speaking, he smiled politely, his eyes were cold, and you looked so ugly that you thought you were so self-righteous.

Can you bear to be bullied by such a strange aunt?

Chen Rong felt that if he wasn't in the palace, he would have to pull this crazy woman to beat and hang it on the tree.

The high priest felt a string in his mind breaking.

The Queen Mother arrived

The high priest's anger was suppressed in an instant, and he sat on the chair and snorted without saying anything.

Okay, Fengyi, you are angry again. Alas... You are so old, why do you still lose your temper at any time?The Empress Dowager was wearing a bright yellow phoenix robe, and her dark hair was shaking with golden steps. She shook her skin with fair skin and looked very young.

And his smile also looks kind and close to others.

Chen Rong felt that the empress dowager was far from her imagination, but this kind of smiling tiger was actually even more terrifying, right?

You go out and wait for me first.Fengque said to Chen Rong.

Chen Rong nodded, glanced at the high priest, and went out arrogantly, as if he was a villain, and the high priest was very angry.

The scenery in the Empress Dowager's hall was very good. Chen Rong was waiting for Fengque and did not dare to walk away, so he just enjoyed the flowers in the courtyard.Standing alone in the snow and kicking the snow with his toes, he felt bored one after another.

You, what palace are you in!You actually stepped on the Queen Mother’s beloved orchid to death?A nanny screamed.

Chen Rong took a step back with a confused look on his face and found that the snow she was stepping on was clearly covered with snow. She has been dealing with these plants in this life. How could she not know if there are flowers and plants in the place she stepped on?

You are afraid that you are dizzy, there are no orchids in this place.

The nanny snorted: I said there is, if there is!

Chen Rong nodded clearly, "Let's find fault?"

Well, there are orchids here, but I just stepped on it to death.

You, you!When did the nanny see someone like Chen Rong who simply confessed to his guilt? She forgot what the line she was going to say. She stammered for a long time before saying: Don’t think that the young priest protects you, you can do evil. If you don’t want to implicate the young priest, just follow me to be punished!

Chen Rong suddenly laughed, walked into the snow, and kicked the rockery.

Bang

The rockery is broken.

She found that she could practice here in this life, so she insisted on using purple qi to practice at sunrise. Although she was not as good as her ability to practice before, she was definitely not something that ordinary people could do.

Look at my strength. If you want to punish me, you have to think about it carefully. After all, I have a bad temper. If you accidentally kill you, how can I explain to the Queen Mother?Chen Rong said with a distressed look, but he felt very funny in his heart.

The nanny's lips were trembling. She didn't expect Chen Rong to be so tough. She took two steps back. I, I saw it wrong. There is really no orchid here.

Chen Rong nodded: So I said, the people in the palace are just aware of the general principles.

After the nanny left, Chen Rong closed his cloak, wondering whether this person was instructed by the Queen Mother or the High Priest?

But they are not good people.Chen Rong snorted. If he was good, he would be afraid that he would not live long, and he would just have to make them suffer.

This lifeless palace is really disgusting.

After Fengque came out, he found Chen Rong, pursed his lips and smiled at her: Is it cold outside?

Chen Rong shook his head: It's okay.

Take you to eat.

Chen Rong was stunned. Why did Fengque look in a good mood?

Seeing that she had left, she quickly followed her, but found that her aura was even more depressed.

I thought to myself, it turned out that I was pretending to be strong, too, how could I not compromise when dealing with monsters and monsters?

Why are you doing so urgently?Be careful of slippery roads.Chen couldn't help reminding her.

Um.Fengque responded in a depressed manner.

Inside the hall.

Now Fengque has a hard wing and an outsider will insult me.The high priest had a little dissatisfied between his eyebrows and rubbed his forehead with his hands, feeling a headache. She was wandering away back then. If I hadn't rescued her and raised her, she would have been sold to be a slave and a servant.

She is the heir after all, why do you have to worry about her?The Queen Mother smiled gently, but there was a calculating light in her eyes. Without her, you would not be able to sit in this position safely.She is now sixteen, so be more lenient.

I hope she will die directly, so I don’t have to be afraid of it.That Chen Rong... When the prince's affairs were over, I went to deal with her myself.The high priest snorted, and when he remembered Chen Rong's scolding, he felt angry. He was just a dead girl...

She used to be a scheming person who could tolerate it, but she had been very comfortable over the past ten years and gradually became floating. Moreover, the empress dowager blindly indulged her, so her temper became worse and worse.

The queen mother smiled and took a sip of tea. It was actually a taboo for the young priest to be in harmony with the high priest, but it was beneficial and harmless to her. When this matter is over, you are still a high priest with great glory. But don’t be too arrogant now, the prince’s side is the important thing.

Chen Rong followed Fengque to the restaurant. In the cold weather, he ordered a lot of hot dishes, soup and so on.They all suit Fengque's taste.

Fengque has been in a daze since he came out of the palace. Chen Rong called her several times before she came back to her senses. I ordered a pot of wine to warm her body.

good.Fengque nodded, but the thoughts in his eyes were very strong.

After the food came, Chen Rong picked up a lot of it for her and poured her another glass of wine: Come and have a drink?

Fengque picked up the wine glass, drank it, and sniffed: What do you think of the Empress Dowager?

This is not obvious, a woman who is not easy to mess with.Chen Rong laughed as he said that, it was really tactful.

Fengque drank a few more cups and his cheeks turned a little red.

Don't drink it, eat something, otherwise it will be bad for your stomach.Chen Rong quickly stopped her and snatched the wine glass, but unexpectedly, Fengque's alcohol tolerance was surprisingly poor, so he covered his face and cried.

Chen Rong: ???Can't I give you the wine glass back?

Fengque wiped his tears, and ate a lot of food with chopsticks, and was silent.

Chen Rong sighed, wondering how many depressing things Fengque had in his heart, but she couldn't help. She felt sorry for her and asked tentatively: Do you hate the Queen Mother very much?

Fengque's chopsticks froze and he nodded.

Don't worry, she won't be comfortable for long.Chen Rong said confidently that the prince will launch a coup at the end of next year, and the empress dowager will be imprisoned for the rest of her life. For a woman who values ​​power so much, this is probably more uncomfortable than letting her die.

Fengque suddenly spoke, his voice a little low: She killed my parents.

Chen Rong looked at Fengque as if he had learned about Fengque again, so is Fengque just hiding dormant and waiting for a chance to take revenge?

I will definitely take revenge, I will... take revenge in person.

Chen Rong digested the message after a while and nodded solemnly: You can definitely take revenge in person.

Fengque drank some more wine, but Chen Rong just let her do it, and it might be really hard for her to bear it.When facing his enemies, he still has to pretend that he doesn't know anything.

Fengque didn't say anything else after that, until he drank down.

Chen Rong also had a glass of wine and chewed peanuts. The private room was warm, but it was cold outside.

It snowed again that night. I wonder if Guo Xiulan and the others have arrived in Jiangnan. In a few days, it will be the New Year, and the young priest's mansion is still deserted.

Chen Rong took his cloak off the screen, covered Fengque's body, and gently picked her up.

The coachman was eating downstairs and chatting with someone. When he saw Chen Rong going downstairs, he hurried to do the business. Aunt...

Shhh.Chen Rong gave a wink, calm down, go and bring the carriage frame over.

yes.The coachman quickly went out. As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he was trembling by the wind and snow outside. It was so cold.As he said that, he stepped up his pace.

It was very late when he returned to the mansion. Chen Rong sent Fengque back to the room and ordered his servants to come and wipe her face, but saw the mark on Fengque's arm.

He tiptoed open her sleeve and saw the hideous slave seal with some intricate scars. He frowned slightly and lowered his sleeve.

Maybe Fengque once wanted to erase this mark?

What exactly have you encountered?Chen couldn't help but talk to himself. The more he got along, the more he realized that Fengque had no bottom line, so miserable.

But... I will help you in the future.

Chen Rong smiled.

Fengque didn't know what he dreamed of, so he turned over and rubbed his cheek against Chen Rong's hand.

Chen couldn't help pinching her cheek and let's have a good sleep.

The Young Priest's Mansion became busy and was deserted all year round, but after Chen Rong arrived, he became a little popular.

Qiuye came to find Fengque and happened to see Chen Rong who was hanging a red lantern at the door with a shelf. He couldn't help but wonder: Miss Chen, what are you doing?

Chen Rong saw that Qiuye was coming, his eyes lit up. You were here just in time. He helped me post these couplets. Isn’t this the New Year?I have to be happy in my first year in Kyoto, right?

Why are you so managing your family? My family is actually very deserted. Do you want to consider taking care of me, a lonely old man who is so beautiful?Qiuye was so envious that the New Year belonged to someone else and had nothing to do with her. Those from the Witch Palace would not have any thoughts on celebrating the festival.

You think beautifully.Chen Rong sneered, went down the ladder, threw the couplet into Qiuye's arms, worked hard, and could have a meal during the Chinese New Year.

Qiuye hugged the couplet and entered the mansion with emotion.

You guys clean up all the snow-covered leaves, and make up all the weeds that need to be processed.Chen Rong arranged in an orderly manner, looked up at the two red lanterns hanging at the door, nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly felt that the mansion was much warmer.

This is the atmosphere of the New Year.

Fengque got up very late, but was still woken up by Qiuye. He got off the bed in a daze, put on his clothes and left, and found that the maids in the yard were busy.

Rubbed my eyes, what's wrong?

My voice is still a little hoarse.

Miss Chen is preparing for the New Year.Qiuye posted a couplet on Fengque and smiled and said: I'm here to post a couplet for you.

Don't.Fengque glanced at the bright red couplet in her hand and refused, I don’t need it.

Tsk tsk.Qiuye looked at Fengque with her chest in her arms, and said mysteriously: This was what Miss Chen ordered. How could you bear to let her down?Look at this crazy handwriting. This pair was written by Miss Chen himself. I left it for you specifically. You don’t know how to be happy.

Fengque glanced suspiciously: Really?

Qiuye nodded confidently: Of course it is true. If you don’t believe it, Miss Chen will be in the corridor outside. You can tell if you ask her yourself.

Fengque's arrogant and awkward temperament will definitely not ask Chen Rong in person. After snatching the couplet from Qiuye, you can go elsewhere and I will post it myself.

Qiuye rolled her eyes. This woman was so irritable.

There are quite a few flowers blooming this season. Chen Rong asked someone to redecorate the yard and clean the areas that should be cleaned.

Compared to the last time I bought something, I was really much more serious this time. It was so busy that it was New Year's Eve, and the entire Young Priest's Mansion was completely renewed and full of joy.The plum blossoms in the yard are in full bloom.

This is the first time I have seen the young priest in our witch palace live a life.Qiuye held a bowl, and the steaming meatballs exuded a sweet fragrance.

Fengque glanced at the bowl she was holding and frowned: Where did it come from?

The Ah given to me by Miss Chen said that this night was too sweet.Qiuye blinked in confusion, wondering why his master looked a little wrong. Could it be that you even eat this jealousy?She was a little incredible, was this still human?

Where is the kitchen?Fengque snorted and didn't bother with Qiuye.

Qiuye couldn't help laughing: You don't even know where the kitchen is at your own home?She rolled her eyes and pointed the direction for Fengque, saying that you deserved not to eat dumplings.

Fengque looked at her coldly, Qiuye cleared her throat awkwardly, and her eyes turned away. Ah, the scenery is so beautiful.

Chen Rong was boiling dumplings in the kitchen. Unexpectedly, Fengque would come over and asked: Didn’t you say you were going to the Witch Palace today?

Not going.Fengque looked at her and said, "I want to eat dumplings too."

Chen Rong smiled and looked at her lowered eyes. She looked like a child. Fortunately, she thought Fengque was such a cold person.

OK, you'll wash your hands first.

The maid hurriedly served Fengque to wash his hands with hot water. After wiping it clean, she obediently sat on the chair and looked at Chen Rong's back steadily.

Chen Rong held a porcelain white bowl, and the steaming heat blurred her face, and even the smile on her face was particularly warm, as if she was watching the flowers in the fog. She knew it was so beautiful but couldn't bear to touch it. Okay, eat it quickly, be careful to burn Ah.

Fengque took a spoon and scooped one, blew it, and put it in his mouth. It was indeed very sweet.

Is there any?I didn't put much sugar Ah.Chen Rang'er was a little confused: Is it too sweet?

Fengque raised his face and smiled at her: I like it very much.

Since you like it, what dishes do you like to eat?I ordered the kitchen to make it.Chen Rong asked her.

Fengque casually said something. She was not a person who was greedy for her, but she wanted to have the New Year's Eve dinner with Chen Rong.

Usually, she celebrated the New Year with the high priest and had a symbolic meal, but today she refused the invitation from the Witch Palace.

Because she has a better place to go.

Because it had snowed for several days in a row, the roads were blocked. In the afternoon, the sun came out, and the ice and snow melted a little. The crystal snow shone under the sunlight, clean and beautiful.

Fengque likes to drink tea, Chen Rong ordered the maids to collect some fresh snow. The plum blossoms were blooming today, so he personally went to collect some plum blossom petals with snow.

Although Fengque didn't know what Chen Rong wanted to do, he was picking petals with her.

You can enter the house first.Chen Rong couldn't help but say Fengque, and glanced at her, his hands were frozen red.

fine.Fengque didn't care at all, and the action of collecting petals was very fast.

Chen Rong smiled helplessly, and saw that he had already picked a lot. Just as he was about to leave, a pile of ice and snow fell from the branches of the locust tree above his head. He hurriedly hugged Fengque's shoulder and ran into the corridor.

The flowers on the spot were trembling twice by the ice and snow.

Very dangerous.Chen Rong hugged the snow on the cloak. If it hit it, it would probably be very cold, and the petals were almost plucked. Are you okay just now?

Fengque's ears were a little red: It's okay.

At night, there were many people sitting in the hall, all of Fengque's subordinates. When Qiuye heard where he showed off that he could have a meal at his master's house, he saw the fun.

Who is their master?

Is it good to be uninhabited by the world?

Will the New Year still be celebrated?

This is really shocked by the costumes in the young priest's mansion.

Chen Rong saw that they were very enthusiastic about keeping them for the New Year’s Eve dinner together. These people were almost the same as Qiuye, so he simply stayed. Anyway, the master of the New Year would not be too harsh to them, right?

Eat pig's trotters.Chen Rong sat next to Fengque and put a piece of meat in Fengque bowl. He wanted to eat more meat this winter. I told Chef Zhang to handle it, so it is not greasy. You can try it quickly.

Fengque looked at the large piece of meat in the bowl, but actually refused.

Qiuye and the others were busy eating. When they saw this scene, their eyes were stuck to the piece of meat.Their master is a vegetarian Ah, how could he eat this kind of meat?This is too much...

The crowd watched Fengque ate the meat in amazement, without leaving any left, and couldn't help but doubt life.

Fengque seems to be because of her childhood, so basically everyone in the entire witch palace knows that Fengque doesn’t like eating meat, and dog meat is her taboo.

That's all. I've picked out all the thorns of this fish, you can eat it directly.Chen Rong gave Fengque the fish in the bowl again, and took a spoon to fill the bowl of soup, and drank some soup, it was very fresh.I glanced at the others again, are you all so polite?Eat quickly Ah, by the way, be careful when eating fish.

Qiuye was already used to this scene and nodded hurriedly: Miss Chen is so virtuous, and you will be our master in the future.

Fengque lowered his head and drank the soup, and said in a depressed manner: That was it.

Qiuye: ... Can you stop showing off?

Another person said: Miss Chen is so nice. If I could have such a good woman in my family, then I would be able to wake up in my dreams with a smile.

Fengque suddenly laughed: Dreaming.

Everyone said: ???

What's going on with this strong possessiveness?

Chen Rong coughed awkwardly: It’s the New Year, you can eat more.

Fengque enjoyed Chen Rong's kindness to her with peace of mind, but at the same time he had to bear the risk of relying on her.If it was just a flash in the pan and could not be caught, maybe... she would go crazy.
