"It's me. You're here to look for Brother Five, right?"

Xiao Baozi actually didn't know which palace Xingde was from, but he remembered that his fifth brother had told him that if Xingde came to look for his fifth brother and his fifth brother was not there at the moment, Xiao Baozi could receive him on his behalf.

If we were to ask who the little treasure in the palace is most loyal to, it must be the little fifth son who saved him.

Although Xiao Wuzi is a eunuch, he can play Eunuch An in the palm of his hand. He is powerful and mysterious, which makes Xiao Baozi willing to follow him from the bottom of his heart.

"Well, I would like to invite him to have a meal at my place at noon..." Xingde said vaguely without specifying the specific location.

Anyone who has been in the palace for a long time will become a shrewd person. Even if Xiao Baozi is born stupid, he has learned a little bit of observation and observation after living under Eunuch An for so long.

Seeing that the other party seemed to have something to hide, he did not ask in detail. He thought that Brother Fifth was so powerful that he must know what Xingde meant, so he nodded and said:

"I've made a note of it. When I see Brother Wu, I'll tell him."

"Excuse me." Xingde nodded politely, thought for a while, took out a purse from his sleeve and wanted to hand it to the other party.

Unexpectedly, the originally smiling eunuch suddenly felt as if he was facing a great enemy, as if what he handed over was not a reward for his hard work, but a monster.

As his expression changed, the young eunuch shook his head like a rattle:

"No, no, you don't have to give me this. It's my blessing to be able to help Brother Wu."

Seeing that the young eunuch insisted, Xingde had to take the money back.

Hong Xing took the breakfast and replayed in her mind every detail of her mistress and Xiao Wuzi's interactions last night. Her cheerful steps couldn't help but pause.

I thought to myself: Maybe she came out just in time for the young lady and Xiao Wuzi to have a tryst.

Is it not a good idea for her to go back so early?

Thinking of this, she slowed down her hurried steps and walked back to the outside of Yanghe Palace. She saw that the door of the palace was closed and was stunned. She walked forward slowly, but heard some strange noises from inside.

There was a slight shaking from the tightly closed palace door, as if something was shaking it from inside.

Suddenly, she heard her mistress's low cry of surprise, as if something had touched her and she said it was so cold. The next second, she heard Xiao Wuzi say, "Okay, it's not cold anymore, let me touch it..."

The tone is coaxing.

Where is it cool?

Where to touch?

Hong Xing was confused, but when she heard the young lady's exclamation again, she vaguely understood what was going on inside.

she:"......"

The hand holding the food box was shaking slightly.

She didn't know whether to leave or not, so she just stood in the corner at the door and listened for a long time.

After a while, there was no movement inside, so she knocked on the door:

"My lady, I am back."

"Ah, you're back!" Shi Qian felt guilty and hurriedly tidied herself up. Her hands had been warmed by Xiao Wuzi's abdominal muscles and still had some residual warmth. She let her hands dry, and when they were cooler, she put them on her face, manually trying to cool down the heat from her face.

After hesitating for a long time, Shi Qian finally went to open the door herself.

Chu Qi opened the window at this moment, and seemed to be lost in thought, staring out the window.

Hong Xing subconsciously looked at the young lady's face, only to see that it was completely red. Before she left, her young lady's lips were still intact, but now they were swollen as if she had been beaten...

She: Oh, it’s really unbearable to watch.

Fortunately, she came back late, otherwise there would have been more people eavesdropping.

"Almost all the maids in the palace were late for food today," she said with a smile.

"I guess they were busy watching the fireworks last night."

There was no mention of why the young lady wanted to close the door in broad daylight.

If it is cold during the day, just wear more clothes. There is no need to use red charcoal all the time. Therefore, there is no need to close the door during the day, unless the temperature drops occasionally and it becomes unbearable, then you will close the door.

Seeing the maid's eyes looking at her face, Shi Qian's heart tightened, fearing that she would see something, but when she saw that she didn't ask any more questions, she was relieved:

"Well, it should be."

Hong Xing added, "Today is New Year's Day, and the palace maid who distributed the rations actually gave me a few extra buns. It should be enough for the three of us."

Chu Qi had eaten a lot last night and hadn't digested it yet, so she wasn't very hungry. Upon hearing this, she took a steamed bun:

"I'll just eat this."
