The woman is not very virtuous, and the handsome man touches her hard

The climate is getting colder.

There were fewer carriages and people speeding along the streets, and pedestrians were walking in a hurry, their hands hidden in their sleeves.

Occasionally, the shop owner would come out, look at the gloomy sky, exhale, rub his hands, and speak to the person behind him.

"Let's close early tonight!"

"Boss, can't we keep watch a little longer?"

"Why are you guarding? Don't get sick from the cold. Hurry up, close the shop!"

The boss was hit by the cold air again and shuddered: "People who don't stay at home and run around in the cold weather are really crazy!"

……

Princess House.

Hong Jing quickly met the confused Zhuang Yumian at the door.

Zhuang Yumian has superior bone structure, skin as white as jade, and a beautiful appearance, like a red plum blossom rustling in the cold wind. She is wrapped in a white plush cloak, with a red lotus blooming between her eyebrows. She has a feeling of being pitiful and domineering.

"God Servant Zhuang."

"Yes." Zhuang Yumian strode towards the princess's residence: "Have you prepared the ingredients I need? I'll go cook for the princess right away."

Hong Jing stopped in front and said, "Master Zhuang, you don't have to work hard tonight. The princess has her own arrangements."

Zhuang Yumian paused for a moment, then continued walking forward.

"What's wrong? I haven't been here for many days. Could it be that the princess's taste has changed?"

"That's not true." Hong Jing had completely mastered Su Qianou's serious nonsense. "The princess specifically asked me to tell you in advance because she was afraid you would overthink it. In fact, the princess didn't let you cook because she also had her own selfish reasons."

"What selfish motives?"

Hong Jing glanced at the bamboo in the corner of the garden. "I only heard the princess sigh once. She said she felt you were tired from cooking and that it was better to cook for her alone. It's unnecessary when there are many people around, otherwise it will seem like you are trying to please them. The princess doesn't want people to misunderstand that you are lowering your status."

Zhuang Yumian frowned.

“Who flattered them?”

"I dare to say that although you don't have such thoughts, the other divine servants might misunderstand you."

"Princess, you're right. From now on, I'll only cook for you."

After saying this, he raised his hand and tightened his cloak: This cloak was also given to him by the princess.

The corners of the man's lips slowly curled up.

The princess really favors herself!

In the past, he would feel embarrassed to come unless the princess summoned him. Unexpectedly, the princess actually mentioned this matter in front of her own maid. It seemed that she was concerned about him.

What he didn't notice was that Hong Jing, who was walking in front leading the way, suddenly patted his chest.

Zhuang Yumian raised his chin slightly and asked curiously, "Am I the first one to arrive today? The others haven't arrived yet, right?"

Hong Jing made a weak "uh" sound.

“Not really.”

"Minister Lin and Prime Minister Jian have already arrived. They have been here for a long time."

Zhuang Yumian said nothing, but silently quickened his pace and quickly walked past the red mirror towards Penglai Courtyard.

Hong Jing stopped and looked at the man's hurried back.

"Since he can find it anyway, I won't lead the way! Why don't we hurry up and inform the White and Jiang Divine Servant!"

After saying that, she immediately turned around and headed towards Ruixueju, muttering, "I need to go faster, even faster. Princess, please wait for me. I'll be back soon."

When Zhuang Yumian stepped into Penglai Courtyard, he first looked at the quiet pavilion, then turned and walked towards the dining room.

He raised his hand and opened the curtain, and several people in the room immediately looked up.

He ignored the other two gazes and immediately saw the girl leaning on the armchair.

She was wearing a pink skirt with a slender waist and a complicated and beautiful double-layered shawl tied on the platinum crystal. There were some bright red tassels hanging around the shawl, which added a sense of dignity. The hem of the skirt was decorated with a simple silver snowflake pattern, and a layer of gauze as thin as a cicada's wing was designed on the outside of the skirt. As the pleats changed, the light on it seemed to flow.

She had her hair combed into a bun, with the hair sticking up high on both sides, like two cat ears.

Pink and blue threads spiraled down from one of the bun pieces and dropped from behind the ear. The ends of the threads were all covered with crystal clear beads, which swayed like rippling water. A hollow jade hairpin with a back hook was placed diagonally on the right side, and together with the crystal clear beads, it made her hair look like clouds and mist, and her face was delicate and graceful, which was amazingly beautiful.

A look of surprise flashed across Zhuang Yumian's eyes.

"If you stand at the door any longer, the cold wind will blow in." Gu Kuang's voice sounded from the side.

Zhuang Yumian finally came to his senses, lowered the curtain and walked into the house.

Su Qianou quickly waved at him: "Zhuang Yumian, come quickly, come over and sit down and eat some sunflower seeds."

A small round table was placed in front of Su Qianou. Lin Yanhui and Jian Yulou sat on either side, not eating melon seeds, but just quietly accompanying her.

"Greetings to the Prime Minister and the Minister of State." Zhuang Yumian saluted the two and then sat down.

"Eat some melon seeds." Su Qianou gestured.

"Princess, I can have some fruit."

Su Qianou picked up the fruit plate in front of Jian Yulou and placed it in front of Zhuang Yumian: "Okay, there's plenty here, help yourself."

Jian Yulou glanced at Zhuang Yumian with a faint expression.

"How do you feel about working in the Ministry of Justice? Are you used to it?" Su Qianou asked Zhuang Yumian.

Zhuang Yumian picked up an orange and peeled it while answering, "I think it's okay. It's just that sometimes when I torture criminals and hear them begging for mercy, I still feel a little bit sorry for them."

Lin Yan rolled her eyes at him and sneered.

...can't bear it?

He had previously been to the Ministry of Justice at the request of His Majesty, and unfortunately, he happened to see Zhuang Yumian interrogating a criminal.

I still remember that it was with such a deceptive face that he used to torture criminals with things like burning to death, washing with a comb, and dripping water.

At that time, Zhuang Yumian made Lin Yan feel that

He is a small white flower blooming in the dark and damp mud. He looks as clear as the first snow, but in fact, he has a cold and fierce personality buried under the snow.

Perhaps, his solidity and his old-fashioned manner are also fake!

Su Qianou felt so soft-hearted when she heard him say that.

"How about I go to the palace tomorrow and ask the Emperor to change your position?"

Zhuang Yumian leaned forward and fed Su Qianou a slice of the freshly peeled orange. He smiled and said,

"No need. Being able to accompany you by the princess's side is already a blessing accumulated in my previous life. I don't want to ask for anything else!"

Su Qianou chewed the orange slice with her eyes curved.

"What you peel is sweet."

Hearing Su Qianou's words, Lin Yanhui and Jian Yulou reached for the fruit plate at the same time.

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Su Qianou continued, "Okay then. If you really can't stand it one day, remember to tell me."

Zhuang Yumian: "It is enough for me to know that the princess loves me."

Unable to bear it any longer, Gu Kuang rolled his eyes, touched his armlet several times, and retreated to the edge, just in time to hear footsteps approaching outside the door.

"Sister, who else did you call?"

Su Qianou spit out the melon seed shells with a "puff". "Come to think of it, there are still domestic ones... and Jiang Ce and Bai Guanru."

Gu Kuang:?

Wait, what was mixed in with what my sister just said?
