This winter is really a difficult winter for the concubines, last winter they were all nested in their own bedrooms, even if they were thinly dressed in order to show their graceful figures, but accompanied by the blazing charcoal fire, they still did not feel the cold, and they still moved freely.

Not this year, except for the sick and pregnant concubines, every other concubine has to go to the side hall of Kunning Palace to embroider and weave. In particular, Ma Xiuying ordered to save the amount of money in the palace, and I don't know whether the palace people intentionally or unintentionally, they only burned four stoves in the corner of the side hall, even if the concubines gathered together, they still felt cold to the bone.

The concubines, who were accustomed to comfort, naturally wanted to add a stove.

Fushun didn't raise his eyelids, and said in a thin voice: "Ladies and daughters are angry, and the servants also want to put a few more stoves, but the hall is full of weaving wheels and silk thread fabrics, and if you accidentally catch fire, it will be troublesome." It's a small matter to walk the water, and if the palace is burned, no one can take responsibility for the minions and the girls. ”

The concubines had no choice but to curse in a low voice, but they were a little envious of Yang Jieyu who put the spinning wheel in their bedroom. Some lowly concubines couldn't help but cry when they saw their red, swollen and cracked hands. In fact, Ma Xiuying gave each concubine a hand balm, and the exquisite glass bottle packaging and fragrant aroma made everyone think that this was a very expensive and superb plaster. In order to curry favor with the high-ranking concubines, or to be forcibly demanded by the high-ranking concubines, these low-level concubines all handed over the hand ointment, so that their hands were frozen.

Ma Xiuying walked into the side hall and saw a group of women with miserable faces, hurriedly asked the reason, and after understanding the situation, she first reprimanded Fushun a few words, and then said to the concubines: "It's the palace that is not thoughtful, the palace is about to tell everyone, the New Year is approaching and the weather is cold, the embroidery and textile matter is temporarily put down, and the spring weather will ease up." ”

"Thank you for your grace. When the concubines heard that there was no need to embroider and weave, they were all overjoyed and elated, and they were about to say goodbye and leave.

At this time, Yang Jieyu came. She wore a tall flying fairy bun, a pale pink tight-fitting sweater with a low neckline, and delicate makeup on her fair and smooth face. Seeing Ma Xiuying, she hurriedly bowed her head and said coquettishly: "The concubine is late, please forgive the queen." ”

Just this bow, Yang Jieyu's beautiful neck and clearly visible collarbone fell into everyone's eyes, as well as the petite and delicate pearl step on her head and the pearl flower cluster on her shoes also made people look sideways.

The concubines were jealous and jealous, and at the same time thought in their minds: Isn't this woman cold?

Concubine Han couldn't help but choke: "Yang Jieyu is indeed late, and the sisters are about to go back." ”

"Why is this, don't you embroider and weave today?" Yang Jieyu opened her cherry mouth, frowned, and asked pitifully.

If a man sees this appearance, he will definitely feel distressed, but none of the women present are in the mood to appreciate it.

Concubine Han said impatiently: "The queen is gracious, ask the concubines to come to work when spring begins." ”

"Oh, but the concubine still has an embroidery that hasn't been completed. Yang Jieyujiao snorted and said to Ma Xiuying: "The queen, please allow the concubine to finish this embroidery before retiring." ”

"They're all gone, and it's deserted in the side hall, so you might as well take it back and do it slowly. Ma Xiuying raised her eyebrows, this Yang Jieyu usually complains about hard work, and she tries not to go out of her palace if she can, why did she suddenly change her temper today.

"The queen often said that today's work is finished today, and the concubine doesn't want to waste this embroidery, so let the concubine finish it here. Yang Jieyu didn't appreciate it, so she had to stay in the side hall.

Concubine Han turned her head and whispered to a concubine who was close to her: "Yang Jieyu won't be stupid, right?"

Dozens of concubines in the huge side hall were huddled together and shivered with cold, Yang Jieyu could imagine the feeling of staying alone in the side hall, I really don't know what she thinks.

"Who knows, she's always had a problem with her brain. The concubine sneered and chuckled, Yang Jieyu was wearing so little, and she would be sure to freeze and get sick for a while, which was exactly what she was looking forward to.

"If you insist on this, this palace will not stop you, if you can't stand the coldness, you can go back by yourself. Ma Xiuying smiled lightly and left with the concubines. There must be a demon when things go wrong, she wants to see what kind of medicine is sold in Yang Jieyu's gourd.

As soon as they walked out of the side hall, a cold air suddenly hit, and the wind was drawn on the faces of the concubines like knives. Of course, they wouldn't believe that Yang Jieyu was really frozen stupid, and they all left their henchmen to wander around Kunning Palace to investigate Yang Jieyu's movements.

Yang Jieyu actually calmed down and embroidered in the side hall, and this embroidery lasted for a day, during which the palace people asked her for instructions several times, but she had no intention of leaving. Or Ma Xiuying heard that she was shivering from the cold and didn't eat, so she couldn't bear to ask someone to send a cloak and a few plates of food, and asked Fushun to move the four stoves to her side.

At the time of the lamp, Zhu Yuanzhang came to Kunning Palace as usual, Ma Xiuying prepared dinner with someone, and was just about to give Zhu Yuanzhang vegetables, Yang Jieyu asked to see her.

"She hasn't left yet?" Ma Xiuying's mouth suddenly opened, it turned out that Yang Jieyu insisted on leaving the embroidery with the intention of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"What's going on?" Zhu Yuanzhang naturally wanted to ask.

Ma Xiuying said the matter lightly, and Yang Jieyu had already walked into the hall in a lotus step.

"The concubines see the emperor and the queen. Yang Jieyu squatted and bent her knees, and her beautiful figure was lined with a tight-fitting forged jacket. The words were said to Ma Xiuying, but a pair of wonderful eyes circulated on Zhu Yuanzhang, "The concubine thanks the queen for the clothes, the embroidery has been completed, and the concubine has come to thank him for his retirement." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said on behalf of Ma Xiuying: "You can embroider hard without fear of the cold, and I am very pleased with the queen." ”

"This is the duty of a concubine. Yang Jieyu looked shy, her willow eyebrows were like a crescent moon, her eyes were like a lake, and the faint red cheeks on her cheeks and her white neck formed a sharp contrast, which made people feel pity.

Zhu Yuanzhang stepped forward to help her up, "You haven't eaten yet, just eat here with me and the queen and then go back." ”

"This ......" Yang Jieyu glanced at Ma Xiuying quickly, lowered her head and said nothing.

"Zijuan, go and give Yang Jieyu vegetables. Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, and Ma Xiuying naturally couldn't refuse.

"No, no, it's better for the concubines to give the emperor and the queen vegetables. Yang Jieyu walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's side, with a dignified attitude and did not squint. However, when she put the dish into the plate in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, a pair of bulging breasts were almost attached to Zhu Yuanzhang's arms.

In the face of the beauty's embrace, Zhu Yuanzhang was of course happy in it, but after all, this was Kunning Palace, and Zhu Yuanzhang was not too indulgent in front of Ma Xiuying, so he found a reason to go with Yang Jieyu after dinner, and naturally rested in Yang Jieyu's dormitory that night, so that the concubine who was originally the turn to serve the bed waited all night.
