As soon as we entered November, a heavy snowfall quietly came, and the entire imperial city was covered in a layer of silver-white, and it seemed to be a world of ice and snow from a distance, making people feel the slightest warmth.

In the northeast corner of the Imperial Castle there is a palace called "Hangetsu Palace", which is the coldest place in the snow-covered Miyagi. Not only because the environment is extremely poor, but also because people's hearts are cold. The people here are either lost the emperor's favored concubines or the palace maids who make mistakes, and everyone who lives here suffers in vain until they destroy their fresh youth and life.

In a side hall on the west side of the Cold Moon Palace, two women sat side by side, both of them were wearing thin white palace clothes, and the material was actually ordinary hemp material when you looked closely.

"Sister Qingshao, use a hot pot to warm your hands!"

A girl about the age of cardamom took a leather bag and stuffed it into another woman's hand.

"Xing'er, you can use it yourself, I'm not cold." The woman's voice trembled slightly, but she still handed the bag full of hot water to the girl's arms.

The palace maid called Xing'er pouted and then held the woman's hand: "My sister is obviously very cold, how can I lie to Xing'er!" ”

The woman was helpless, and finally reached out and took the girl into her arms, and the two were tired of being together, and their bodies could always have a warmer feeling when they were close to each other.

A small fire burned in the hall, and it took a long time for a strong smell of medicine to waft out of the pot of medicine on the jealous fire.

Qing Shao got up and took the medicine jar off the small stove with a coarse cloth, and then took a plain white porcelain bowl, from which the black medicinal soup poured out.

"I'll go and deliver medicine to the master, and you can roast a little fire here." Qing Shao said with a smile.

Xing'er obediently responded, and then watched Qing Shao walk outside with slightly trembling steps because of the cold, her back looked extremely thin.

Qing Shao tried hard to keep her hands steady, this medicine boiled for two hours to get better, and she couldn't give up her efforts because of her carelessness.

As soon as Qing Shao stepped out of the door of the West Side Hall, she felt a cold air pouring in, which made her shudder, and then she took a hard breath before trying to go to the main hall. The snowflakes that blew in in the corridor because of the slanted wind had already covered a layer, and there were still sporadic snowflakes hitting Qing Shao's body at this moment.

She covered the bowl with her sleeve shirt and walked briskly towards the main hall.

Although the main hall of the Cold Moon Palace was very large, it looked empty because it did not have any furnishings, and the loneliness and emptiness made people shudder, even if there was still a black charcoal fire burning in the corner of the hall now, it could not dispel this cold.

As soon as Qing Shao stepped into the main hall, he heard a violent cough inside.

"Master, the medicine has been boiled, drink it while it's hot!" Qing Shao walked into the inner room, then put the medicine bowl on the table, and gently lifted the white curtain on the bed.

Inside, a woman wrapped in a quilt was revealed, her face was extremely pale against the scattered black hair, and she was still coughing incessantly.

Qing Shao hurriedly stretched out his hand to caress the woman's back, and the gentle movements finally alleviated the woman's pain a little.

"Give me the medicine." The woman's voice sounded hoarse.

Qing Shao nodded, and then brought the medicine bowl over.

The woman took the bowl and drank it down, the bitterness that made her frown.

"How have I ever drunk such a bitter thing," the woman's voice was desolate and mocking, "but now I can't eat even a single candied fruit......

Qing Shao lowered his eyelids as he listened to the woman's words.

"Perhaps, I'll pass ...... day" The woman's voice sounded very distant, but it made people feel the sadness in her heart deeply.

"Don't say that, master, there will be a good day!" Qing Shao was startled, and hurriedly relieved softly.

The woman smiled sarcastically, what a good day did she have, and now it was just one more day to live.

Qing Shao helped the woman lie back in the quilt, then covered the quilt for her, and then opened the window in the inner room, revealing a gap, although it was cold, it was better than choking on coal.

Then Qing Shao sat down on the chair, picked up the needle and thread, and continued the unfinished sewing work.

The woman on the bed looked at Qing Shao sitting on the chair, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her eyes.

"Qing Shao......" the woman called softly.

Hearing his own voice, Qing Shao raised his head and looked over: "What does the master command?" ”

The woman shook her head and looked at her and said, "How many years have you been with me?" ”

Hearing this question, Qing Shao paused for a moment, and then replied: "This year will be ten years old." ”

Ten years.

The woman's mind raced when she heard the number.

Her surname is Yang Yueshu, and she used to be the young lady of the Hubu Shangshu family, and Qing Shao became her maid when she was seven years old. She was elected to the palace in 29 and became one of the people in the harem of Emperor Jianxi today. How could it be that the harem was deep, and after a battle, she lost all the plates, and was deprived of her title and reduced to a promise, and the Yang family was also defeated.

She doesn't resent the emperor, she only complains that she doesn't have enough means.

So it is destined that the second half of her life will be spent in this cold moon palace like a cold palace.

"You are young, but you have to suffer with me, and you have to spend time here, I really wronged you......" Yang Yueshu sighed and said, "You didn't enjoy any happiness with me......

Qing Shao hurriedly stopped the movements in his hand and then knelt on the ground, his voice trembling: "What is the master, the slave and maid will be the master's person for life if they follow the master, and if there is no master and the Yang family, the slave and the maid will have already become starving bones on the side of the road, and the master's kindness and slave will always be remembered in my heart......"

Yang Yueshu hurriedly asked Qing Shao to get up: "Hurry up, I just said this, why do you care so much, you are the only one who can accompany me so far......"

Qing Shao pursed her lips and stood up, but her expression still looked a little depressed, and the white long skirt swayed slightly to look particularly pitiful.

Yang Yueshu smiled helplessly: "Okay, help me sew and mend my clothes, otherwise your master will have no clothes to wear." ”

“…… Be. ”

Qing Shao replied in a low voice, then sat back by the window and picked up the needle and thread that had been put down, and the fingers that sang first shuttled between the clothes, and the movements were still a little sluggish because it was too cold.

The snow outside had stopped, and sunlight was shining through the cracks in the window, and her body seemed to be coated with a layer of light.

Yang Yueshu lay on the bed and raised her head sideways, it was the first time she looked at Qing Shao so seriously, her appearance seemed to be getting more and more brilliant in recent years, and Qing Shao's face was as warm as jade under the sun.

A seventeen-year-old girl is really the most beautiful girl, but now she has to spend time in the cold palace with her......
