Chapter 126：

The cold wind is sharp and the days are getting shorter.

The Zhou family was ransacked, the carrots were pulled out and the mud was taken out, and the officials in the court came to Boda to clean up. For a while, the people were panicked and worried.

In the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, there is even more miserable howling of ghosts and wolves. In the days that this year is approaching, it looks extremely frustrated.

Under the guidance of the jailer, Zhang, dressed in a long velvet embroidered jacket, slowly walked to a relatively clean single-person cell.

While unlocking the lock, the jailer respectfully warned, "Madam has something to say as soon as possible. At most one stick of incense, too long can not afford to delay."

The Zhang nodded towards the jailer and said politely, "I see."

The jailer closed the door and went out.

The smile on Zhang's face slowly converged, with an indifferent expression, looking condescendingly at Yongweihou Tao Bosong who was sitting in the straw.

In this cold winter weather, Tao Bosong only wore a thin prison shirt. His face turned blue and shivering from the cold, but he could only wrap a shabby and dirty quilt to keep him warm. This look was really embarrassing.

He raised his head and looked at the graceful and noble Zhang in front of him, with trembling lips, "Madam, you are here, I thought you would not come."

He paid for the jailer to send a letter to Zhang, but he was still a little worried. Now that he saw Zhang's coming, he was also relieved. One day the husband and wife had a hundred days of grace, indicating that she still had him in her heart.

How can Zhang say he has been a couple with Tao Bosong for almost 20 years, and he can see through Tao Bosong's careful thoughts at a glance.

She raised her hand to close her sideburns gently, squinted at him, and whispered, "Why didn't I come? Seeing your desolate look made me very happy."

Tao Bosong’s expression stiffened, but soon he squeezed out a hard and flattering smile, "Madam, we have been a couple for so many years. As the old saying goes, ten years of cultivation can be carried on the same boat, and a hundred years of cultivation can sleep together. You Why is it so unfeeling?"

Zhang raised a sneer, "Tao Bosong, we have already reconciled, and I am no longer your wife."

Tao Bosong choked again, silently squeezed his fists, endured and endured, and did not retell the old relationship with Zhang, but said, "I am now in this end, I know I was wrong. But the bitter cold of Yandi is barren. The barren land is not a place for people to stay. Husband... Susu, I know that you are complaining about me, and I don’t expect you to help me, but please help me with a good thing in front of Ati, no matter what How to say, I am her biological father!"

As if he heard some very funny joke, Zhang sneered, "Father? Now you remember that you are Ati's father? When you and the Zhou family were in trouble, why didn't you think about your daughter? ?"

Tao Bosong's face was embarrassed, and his head slowly dropped. After a long while, he murmured angrily, "I...I regret it."

regret.

Chewing the word in Zhang's mouth, the rolling emotion in his chest gradually lowered, and his smile was full of sarcasm, "Yes, regret it."

She also regretted that she hadn't treated her daughter well before, but now... she regrets it.

"There is no regret medicine in this world." Zhang said in a calm tone, "Your Majesty and the prince are already very generous if you can leave a life. As for other things, don't think about it."

After speaking, she stepped up and left.

Tao Bosong looked anxious and staggered to think of getting up to stop him, but he was tortured on his body, cold and hungry, and when he got up, he fell back with weak legs, only yelling weakly, "Susu, Susu! Let Ati help me intercede. The prince spoils her so much, as long as she opens her mouth to intercede, maybe I won't have to go to Yandi."

Zhang paused, turned his head, and glanced at him indifferently, "Ati is no longer our daughter."

Tao Bosong was startled, only when Zhang meant that her daughter was a member of another family when she married, and hurriedly said, "She is also our daughter when she is married. She has the blood of my Tao family on her body, she..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang suddenly shouted, hysterical——

"No, she is not anymore! You are not a good father, and I am not a good mother. We are not qualified to be Ati's parents! Not qualified!"

Tao Bosong was startled, staring blankly at her sudden loss of control.

Zhang only felt swollen eye circles and a sore nose. He didn't explain much. He only suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, took a deep breath, and said, "Go to Yandi with peace of mind.

Tao Bosong, I just hope you and I never see each other again. "

She left decisively, without looking back.

Tao Bo sat dejectedly on the ground, his face full of panic and sadness.

………

On the first three days of the Winter Solstice Festival, more than two hundred people from Yongweihoufu embarked on the road of exile in Yandi.

On that day, the first snow fell in Chang'an City.

The snow fell until the winter solstice without a break. Emperor Zhaokang simply gave the courtiers a leave in advance to let them go back to spend the winter solstice early.

The storm on the court seemed to be subdued due to the coming of the festive season. As everyone knows, this is the calm before the storm.

In the Zixiao Hall, new tea is brewing on a small stove, the fragrance of the tea is curling, and the steam is lingering.

Pei Yan is tall, sitting straight, with a slender hand twisting a letter. After hurriedly sweeping it, he throws it into the small stove on one side with a gentle smile, "Uncle, the fish has been hooked."

Gu Qu took a sip of the tea, and said slowly, "Sometimes a woman gets cruel and doesn't lose to a man at all."

Pei Yan hooked her lips and was noncommittal.

After drinking a cup of tea, the two uncles and nephews were sitting in jeopardy, chatting about business matters.

The situation on this side is treacherous and disturbs the situation, but the Yaoguang Hall on the other side has always maintained a stable and peaceful style of painting.

Green ant new glutinous rice wine, red clay small stove. [1]

It's just that the small stove in the Yaoguang Hall is not boiled with wine, but a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine stuffed with rice balls.

Seeing that it was almost done, Tao Ti divided two bowls, one for herself and the other for Qinghe on the opposite side.

"If you don't think it is sweet enough, add a spoonful of acacia honey."

"It smells so good, it tastes delicious."

Qinghe took a spoon and gently stirred the white-colored fermented rice ball in front of him. After it had cooled a little bit, he took a spoonful and blew it into his mouth.

The glutinous rice dumplings are soft and elastic, and the sweet soup is full of the elegant wine aroma of fermented rice and the rich floral fragrance of osmanthus. The sweetness is just right, warming the heart and the stomach.

"It's most comfortable to eat this in winter." Qinghe sighed with enjoyment.

"Today is the winter solstice, and I plan to cook glutinous rice **** and dumplings at night."

Tao Ti ate the fermented rice **** and laughed, "I made glutinous rice **** with sesame and red bean paste. The dumplings are filled with shepherd’s purse and pork, shrimp, leeks, pork, lamb and celery, and zucchini and egg. When the child goes back, take some to eat with the princess."

Qinghe thanked him politely, and then talked about the affairs of the palace recently, "I heard that Pei Lingbi is crazy, crying and laughing for a while, which is very scary. She won't be like this in this life, right?"

Tao Ti said, "I don't know."

Qinghe shook his head and said, "Oh, it's a sin. I heard that in the past month, the Queen has only visited her twice, and the Third Royal Highness has only visited her once. Tsk, dear relatives, that's nothing more."

Tao Ti couldn't sympathize with Pei Lingbi's experience. After all, she took the blame for this step and couldn't blame anyone.

Qinghe again talked about the trip to the hot spring villa, she was full of expectation, but Tao Ti was not too happy—

"His Royal Highness said that he is very busy these days and has no time to accompany me."

Had it not been for her early promise that Qinghe and Xu Wenchan would go together, she would have wanted to release the pigeons and would not go.

Qing He comforted, "There have been so many things happening in the court this time, and the prince cousin is also busy. Anyway, if you are with us, our road is also lively and lively. Soaking in the hot spring is comfortable, and keeping you soaked in the hot spring. I forgot my cousin the prince."

Tao Ti glanced at her with a smile, "Do you want to go to the hot springs or meet Xu Qige?"

Qinghe blushed, did not deny it, only said timidly, "I will return to Longxi to be married after the Chinese New Year, and I will not see him for more than half a year..."

Long-distance love for half a year is undoubtedly difficult for a young couple who is passionate about.

The two ate while chatting. After eating sweet-scented osmanthus wine stuffed round balls, they ate sweet roasted sweet potatoes and hot roasted potatoes.

Until the sky darkened, Qinghe left with a box of dumplings and a box of glutinous rice balls.

The blizzard was even worse at night.

Tao Ti was lying on the rocking chair with the ingots in her arms, with a white fox blanket on her knees, leisurely acting like a retired old lady in her 60s or 70s.

"Hey, our Highness is getting busier and busy, so he can't accompany me to the Hot Spring Villa..."

"Meow~"

"When he left this morning, he seemed to give me a kiss and said he would spend the winter solstice with me. Would you say he would be late again?"

"Meow meow."

"Oh, being a prince is so busy. If he becomes an emperor in the future, wouldn't he be more busy? Well, I will also open more shops, make more money, and keep myself busy, you say yes ingot."

"Meow~"

One person, one cat, cross-frequency chat, but also chat with gusto.

I don't know how long it took, when Pei Yan came with a wind, snow and cold, Tao Ti already hugged the cat and slept on the rocking chair.

The inside of the house was burning and warm, she slept with her head tilted, her eyes closed, her long eyelashes curled up like butterfly wings under the dim light, and her delicate cheeks were light pink, and she slept soundly.

Seeing this, Pei Yan's eyes softened, and he took off the black bucket flower and cloud pattern crane cloak on his body, and handed it to Linglong on one side.

Linglong took Cranecloak and retreated quietly.

Pei Yan walked slowly to Tao Ti's side. Yuan Bao was the first to wake up. He glanced at the man with a pair of beautiful mandarin duck eyes. He seemed to recognize the person, and calmly "meowed" it from the hostess's arms. He jumped down and went back to its cat litter obediently.

The cat is awake, and she is still asleep.

Pei Yan bent down, subconsciously trying to squeeze her face.

He stretched his hand halfway, paused, and put it back again.

He just came back from outside, his hands were still cold.

Putting both hands on his mouth, warming, and rubbing it warmly, Pei Yan reached out and touched the tip of her small nose.

Tao Ti opened his eyes in a daze, with sleepy eyes, only to see a slender and hazy figure.

"I will take you to the bed to rest." Pei Yanwen said.

Tao Ti didn't wake up until he was picked up by him, put his arms around his neck, and muttered, "I'm not sleeping now, we haven't eaten dumplings and dumplings together yet."

She waited so late to spend the winter solstice with him.

Pei Yan stopped, lowered his eyes and stared at her for a long time, with a very gentle tone, "Okay, eat dumplings and glutinous rice balls."

He kissed her delicate eyebrows and put her down firmly.

The dumplings and glutinous rice **** are already wrapped, and they cook very quickly in the pot.

After a while, a large bowl of dumplings and glutinous rice **** were placed on the sandalwood table.

Tao Ti didn't eat dinner, and started to fall asleep without feeling hungry. Now she woke up, her stomach was empty. She carried the dumplings to her mouth one by one, chatting with Pei Yan about daily trivial matters.

Pei Yan can occasionally echo two sentences, and more often he listens quietly with a smile on his face.

After eating this late winter solstice meal, it was late at night, and the two of them washed up and went to bed to rest.

The curtain has been replaced with a lotus and blue embroidered red plum pattern. Once it is put down, it will cover the candlelight outside, separating the curtain from the outside into two worlds.

In the darkness, Pei Yan embraced Tao Ti and said with a calm voice, "Ati, sorry."

Tao Ti nestled in his arms, and the little sleepiness that had just been brewing was dispelled by his apology.

She raised her head, brushed his chin with her forehead, and whispered, "Sorry what?"

Pei Yan said, "I can't accompany you well these days, I'm back so late."

Tao Ti was silent. To tell the truth, Pei Yan spent less time with her. She was indeed a little depressed, but she also understood that he was busy with business and did not deliberately neglect her.

Well, feelings are not about mutual tolerance and understanding.

She raised her hand, touched his clear brows and eyes, and touched his more and more invented jaw, and said softly, "It's okay, you didn't run out to play without me."

"Quickly, it will be over soon."

Everything has to be settled, and there is an end.

In the quiet night, the rustle of falling snow outside the window was particularly pronounced.

Pei Yan's hand on her waist tightened slightly, her deep black eyes gleamed with dim light, she kissed the corner of her lips, and coaxed, "Hey, wait for the Lantern Festival, I will take you out of the palace to visit the temple fair and watch the lanterns, eh ?"

Tao Ti's face rubbed against his chest, full of intimacy, and his voice was a little lazy and sleepy, "Talking about it...I want to buy a big bunch of candied haws!"

"Buy. As long as you like, I will buy you the whole candied haws in Chang'an City."

"Okay." Tao Ti chuckled, and then fell asleep in his arms with peace of mind.

This night, she dreamed that she had fallen into a candied haws pit with various candied haws.

She ate and stuffed one by one, and then...tooth decayed.
