With the bite of dumpling skin, the delicious taste immediately fills between the lips and teeth. Before one bite, one can't wait to have a second bite.

Mu Qianxue said with a smile: "well, it's delicious. I can taste the meat and fish, but it seems There's another one. What is it? "

"Ah! Ah, ah Ah Chou opened her mouth and tried to say something, but she only made a monotonous voice, and she could only make gestures that others could not understand.

Mu Qianxue was dumbfounded and said, "by the way, I forgot that you can't speak or write. In a word, thank you for making dumplings. I like them very much."

Her praise made ah Chou very happy. She cracked her mouth and laughed and motioned to Mu Qianxue to eat more. Although she was ugly, her teeth were neat and white, better than many people.

Mu Qianxue smiles, lowers her head and scoops another one. The silver spoon stirs and makes the calm soup fluctuate. After a while, the calm is restored. When the canthus of her eyes sweep the calm soup noodles, her eyes tremble slightly, and the silver spoon that had been handed to her lips is one of them.

"Ah, ah!" Ah Chou's voice made mu Qianxue wake up and suddenly look up. Zhang Qiling stood by the door and was quietly looking at her. Her eyes were as deep as ink, and she didn't know what to think.

After beckoning ah Chou to go down, mu Qianxue said in a cool voice, "didn't you go into the palace?"

"The Empress Dowager didn't feel well, so the banquet broke up early." Zhang Qiling went to the table and sat down. When he saw that there was only a bowl of dumplings on the table, he cut his eyebrows and said, "do you eat these things in the evening?" Without waiting for Qian Xue's words, he said, "I've told you that every meal of four meats and four vegetables is equally important." With that, he glanced at the room, and the frown deepened a little. "How come there are no people?"

Mu Qianxue poured a cup of tea for him and said calmly, "it's new year's Eve today. I see they miss their family. There's nothing wrong here, so I'll let them go back to reunite with their family and come back tomorrow."

Zhang Qiling looked at her and said, "you'd rather eat dumplings for them than let them go home for the new year."

"Once in a while eating dumplings, it's just that..."

Zhang Qiling did not see her go on, puzzled: "just what?"

Mu thousand snow Mou light move, shake head way: "nothing." Then she said casually, "what about you? What can I do for you?"

Zhang Qi Ling Mou color a deep, hook up her chin, quiet voice way: "how, nothing can't come?"

Mu Qianxue leaned back to avoid the cold hand and said calmly, "you are the royal highness of the four princes' mansion. How can I stop you? However, there are differences between men and women. I don't want to lead to unnecessary misunderstanding of your fiancee. In another month, you should get married."

Zhang Qiling slowly withdrew his hand and stared at her without saying a word. For a long time, he suddenly said, "do you really want to see me get married?"

Mu Qianxue was a little surprised by his words, "whether you get married or not has nothing to do with me, your highness Is that the wrong question? "

Zhang Qiling stared at her for a moment, suddenly looked up and drank all the tea. With a bitter smile that she could not understand, she said, "yes, it's wrong."

"You But what's on your mind? " Mu Qianxue asked hesitantly. Since she came in, Zhang Qiling gave her a strange feeling.

At this time, there was a faint sound of the intersection of weapons outside. Zhang Qiling sneered, "they are active, and they won't stop even on the eve of the lunar new year."

In just over a month after mu Qianxue entered the fourth Prince's residence, this kind of assassination is the fourth. Every once in a while, there will be assassins sneaking at night to take mu Qianxue's life. Fortunately, Zhang Qiling has been on guard, and there are many guards around qiyunxuan, including the shadow guards given to him by Tianji old man, who can protect mu Qianxue until now.

Listening to the sound of swords and swords outside the window, mu Qianxue continued to serve tea for Zhang Qiling with a pot. He said indifferently: "they thought the defense would be lax on New Year's Eve You have to go in the opposite direction. It seems that your second highness will lose a lot of manpower tonight. "

Zhang Qi Ling Xuan eyebrow way: "how do you know is not big brother?"

"With his Highness's temperament, he will not waste his energy on things he is not sure about. If he fails to assassinate, he will find another way. In contrast, his second Highness has no such mind, so he is doomed to fail." After a pause, mu Qianxue said, "does Ling Di know about this?"

Zhang Qiling lowered his head and turned the tea cup in his hand, "I didn't tell my father."

"Why?" In the face of Mu Qianxue's inquiry, Zhang Qiling said to himself, "if you can't solve such a problem, if you want to ask him to come forward, what qualifications do I have to sit in the chair of Yuqing hall He never mind his son's fight; to be exact, he even encouraged him to choose the most suitable one to succeed to the throne; Dongling It's always been like this. "

Mu Qianxue pondered for a moment and said in a soft voice: "this kind of competition is certainly beneficial to Dongling, but it also erodes the successor's trust in people. If I expect it right, every emperor selected by this way is suspicious."

"You're right." Zhang Qiling stares at the fragmented reflection in the tea, and a faint smile spreads around his lips. "In those days, if he believed in my mother, my mother would not have died so early."Mu Qianxue frowned and said tentatively, "Lingdi?"

"Bang!" Zhang Qiling crumpled the tea cup in his hand. A long cut was made in the palm of his hand by the sharp pieces of porcelain. The red blood dripped slowly down the wound.

"You..." Mu Qianxue just said a word, suddenly he held her hand and forced her to go out. Although she was surprised, she didn't ask much. She walked with him in the cold and lonely night.

All the way to the garden, which is located in the last yard, Zhang Qiling just stopped. Before mu Qianxue could ask why he brought himself here, he was shocked by what he saw.

This garden is not big, not even as big as the one she used to be in Mu mansion, but there is a candle in three steps and a candle in five steps. At night, when the moon is shining, it is as bright as day, and there is no darkness in the whole garden.

Countless red plum blossoms on the powerful branches, or the flowers are in full bloom, or the buds are like pearls, or they are half open. They are just a kind of flower, but they are beautiful. In fact, there is only one kind of plum blossom in the whole garden. Besides, there are no wild flowers. It's a real plum forest!

Zhang Qiling stroked a plum tree and whispered: "when my mother was alive, what she liked most was plum blossom, so the place where she lived was full of plum trees, and the meeting between her father and the Emperor Also in Merlin. "
