At the height of the cold palace, you can see the withered yellow sycamore in the palace garden outside, the scattered fallen leaves are flying in the slanting sun, the small holes on the leaf surface are mottled and leaking a few rays of light, and there are no colorful butterflies dancing in the flowers, and such dead leaf-like butterflies look beautiful as flowers.

Although the days of staying in the cold palace have been getting longer and longer, I also feel a lot more comforted to see that the people around me are still okay one by one. For so many days, Yuyu and them have left the palace, and Lin Wanwan has come to see me, which is the most joyful thing.

Sitting on the rocking chair, on a sunny day in autumn, on the tea, Miao Wu saw that I was leisurely, so she also smiled and said: "Girl, you have been in a better mood recently." ”

I closed my eyes peacefully and said with a smile: "That's nature, I put a bitter gourd face every day, I'm also bitter enough, I have to be kind to myself." ”

Miao Wu smiled: "The girl has finally opened her mind. ”

As she was talking, Li Rongrong flew in from the door, I looked at her beaming, and knew what was good about Lu Dao, so I asked with a smile, "What?" What's the good news today? ”

Li Rongrong was overjoyed, sat aside, and said with a smile: "Guess! ”

I pouted and said, "Guess again?" Li Rongrong nodded, looking at me with sparkling eyes, I pretended to ignore her, closed my eyes with a smile, and said, "I'm not interested, you can go by yourself." ”

Li Rongrong saw that I was listless and seemed to be about to sleep, so she pouted, jumped up suddenly, and said angrily: "The letter from the fifth master is here, the letter to you, you don't care, I have nothing to do with people here, but I have been happy for a long time in vain!" ”

I secretly opened a slit and saw that Li Rongrong was aggrieved and arguing with the letter, I hurriedly jumped up, grabbed it, and said with a smile: "Which one said I don't care?" I'm just too lazy to guess. ”

Li Rongrong saw that I grabbed it, so she hurriedly came to the letter, and said with a smile: "What did the fifth master write?" ”

I teased her, "I won't show you!" ”

She said coquettishly: "I'll just take a look," she saw that I ignored her, just stared at me, and threatened, "Isn't there really anything about the two of you, afraid that I will know?" I'll tell the emperor to go! ”

I couldn't help but laugh and said, "This letter must have passed through Ahan's level before it reached me, if anything, something would have happened a long time ago." ”

I stopped smiling and joking with Li Rongrong, but opened the envelope and took out Ah Yue's letter.

The letter reads:

At the beginning of the day, I learned a few days ago that you had been demoted to the cold palace, and although I was convinced that you were deeply blessed, but I was still worried, so I wrote a letter to ask for your safety.

The land of the border fortress is also the place of Qing cultivation, please say hello to the emperor on my behalf, and I regret that the minister cannot personally congratulate my emperor and his saint.

Some time ago, I happened to meet the official of the lone wolf procurement, and I heard that everything was fine with Qingge, and he had been canonized as a concubine and had a son. Life is rich and comfortable. I knew that you would be worried about the song, so I told you early. I heard that the Oiran girl was also among the concubines that day, and she also greeted me on my behalf.

Life has ups and downs, the world is unpredictable, and living in the present is the most comfortable. If it's none of your business, why take it seriously?

I originally wanted to go back to Beijing to report on my work, and I was worried about the well-being of the emperor and you, but I was still worried about my tiring journey, so I was exempted from going back to Beijing to report on my work. I don't want to see you again, but I hope you'll be well.

Ah Yue's short letter was indeed written by Ah Yue, and Ah Yue always wanted to write more, but because of Ah Han, he didn't say much. I have come back to my senses, but Li Rongrong is still looking at it over and over again with the corners of her eyes moist. I looked at Li Rongrong's persistent appearance, and I couldn't bear to stop her anymore.

Ah Yue's life became more and more sad, and he was rejected by Ah Han when he returned to Beijing to report on his work, and he couldn't come back to see his old people. I don't know what happened to Ah Yue, who has been idle all day, hindering Ah Han, but even so, Ah Yue can only be fine.

Hearing that Qingge was fine, I pulled Miao Wu and motioned her to look at the letter, and Miao Wu squatted aside and looked at the letter next to Li Rongrong.

When I saw that Miao Wu was still so active, I remembered the stable Qingge, if the two girls were around, I don't know how good it would be? It's just that Qingge is safe and secure now, but fortunately it's not by my side. I have said several times that I want to find a good in-law for Miaowu, but now let alone my in-laws, it is already the most extravagant wish to be able to get out of this cold palace unscathed.

After watching Miao Wu, she smiled and said, "I know that Sister Dao Qingge will have a good life." ”

I nodded, smiled, and saw that Li Rongrong was still holding the letter, so I said softly: "Rongrong, you take the letter with you, I have read it and remember it." ”

Li Rongrong asked in surprise: "Really?" ”

I smiled and nodded: "Naturally it's true, a letter, do I still want to rob you?" ”

When Li Rongrong heard this, she didn't say anything, just smiled and left with the letter, and said goodbye with a smile: "I'll go first and hide this letter." ”

I just smiled and watched Li Rongrong bounce away, and Miao Wu smiled: "I didn't expect Shu Guiren to still have a child's heart." ”

I smiled and said, "Who is facing a loved one who is not a child?" ”

It's just that Li Rongrong has not been here for more than a month, which provoked Miao Wu to complain: "I knew that Lu Dao didn't give the letter to Shu Guiren, who knew that Lu Dao didn't care about us anymore!" ”

I just laughed and watched Miao Wu walk around complaining. The seasons in Beijing change very quickly, and the comfort of this autumn has not yet been exhausted, and the cold winter is coming.

In this day, I felt cold and breathy everywhere when I got up early. After washing, I gently pushed open the window door and saw that it was fluttering with edelweiss, fine and dense, like a crystal clear flower floating up. Although it is beautiful, but the cold wind is biting.

I closed the window and called out to Miaowu, "Miaowu, plus a few heaters." ”

Miao Wu came in with breakfast, and said suspiciously: "There are four stoves in the house, and a layer of cotton curtains has been added, and the girl is still crying cold," Miao Wu put down the meal and said, "Last night, the girl covered two soup women in the quilt and said that it was very cold, what happened to the girl this winter?" ”

I shook my head, sat down to eat, and said, "Not much, but I just feel very cold, don't you think?" ”

Miao Wu also sat down to eat and said: "In previous years, the girl climbed to the roof to see the snow, but this year it was cold at the beginning of the snow, but it was strange." ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Maybe it's colder this year." ”

Miao Wu muttered about eating, "Where is it cold?" It's clearly for you to be afraid of the cold. ”

All of a sudden, after breakfast, I sat on the small smoker next to the bed, wrapped a big cloak, held the hand stove, and opened the window to enjoy the snow.

Even though it's cold, the snow still has to be appreciated, otherwise what's the fun of just staying? Miao Wu was afraid that I would freeze, so she persuaded me a few times, but when she saw that I didn't listen, she just didn't care, she sat and embroidered, and while embroidering, she complained to me: "Girl, if you continue to use charcoal fire as you do today, this winter has not yet begun, and the two of us will have no charcoal fire, so we have to freeze to death in the cold palace here!" ”

I muttered, "I'm just cold!" ”

Suddenly, a voice said, "Just ask someone to send more, it's worth something." I looked back and saw Ah Han come in, Miao Wu hurriedly asked for peace, Ah Han nodded and just walked over, sat down next to me, looked at me, and couldn't help but smile: "Xi'er, what are you doing wrapped like a bear?" ”

I pouted and said, "Enjoy the snow." ”

Ah Han was puzzled and asked me, "Why don't you go out to enjoy the snow?" ”

I muttered, "It's cold outside." ”

Ah Han just looked at me and smiled, and said, "Do you still have a time when it's too cold?" I don't know who climbed to the roof of the house to enjoy the snow! ”

I just ignored him, looked at the heavy snow outside the window, and sighed softly: "Things are not people." ”

Ah Han asked me, "What is human?" ”

I said lightly: "Winter snow happens every year, but people don't do it every year." I looked back at Ah Han and asked softly, "Why don't you ask Ah Yue to go back to Beijing to report on work?" ”

Ah Han just smiled lightly and said, "Now that the situation in Beijing is complicated, the fifth brother's return is just adding to the trouble, and when it is stable in the future, let's call him back to Beijing to report on his work." ”

When I saw Ah Han say this, I didn't want to dwell on it too much, but I just turned my head and still looked at the snow outside the window in a daze. After a long time, Ah Han saw that I didn't speak, and asked me with a soft smile, "What are you looking at?" Look so fascinating? ”

I smiled and said, "Look at the snow." ”

The cold and biting wind had already blown through the cloak, and I was shivering from the cold, so Ah Han gently closed the window and scolded me: "It's cold like this, what kind of snow are you looking at?" ”

I just nestled quietly on the smoker, the room was warm, there was a hint of cold, although it was nothing, but it seeped into the bone marrow. I still remember that many years ago, Qingge told me that the season in Beijing was warm, even in winter, but now, the winter in Beijing is as cold as an ice cellar. Could it be that people's hearts have changed, and even the warmth and coldness around them have changed?

Ah Han frowned and looked at me worriedly, I just smiled lightly, afraid that he would be worried, so I said softly: "I'm old, I'm afraid of the cold." ”

Ah Han smiled angrily and said, "Don't talk nonsense, don't be reckless in the future, what should I do if I'm freezing?" ”

I smiled and said, "Wait until I'm dead," and before I could finish speaking, Ah Han hit me the back of the head, just glaring at me, I laughed, "I mean, if I die-"

Ah Han blackened his face and interrupted: "There is no if." ”

I sighed and said, "I know the way." ”

Ah Han looked at me and said seriously: "If you dare to go before me." He paused and did not speak. I smiled and comforted him, "Okay, okay, I just talked nonsense, don't take it to heart." ”

Ah Han gave me a blank look and didn't speak. I also pouted, I didn't know what to say, Ah Han saw that I didn't speak, so he softened his tone and asked, "What did you want to say just now, Xi'er?" ”

I came back to my senses, smiled, and said, "I mean, if I ...... What's that...... After that, I will be cremated," Ah Han's face became more and more ugly, and I hurriedly said, "bury it or scatter it in the wind, so that you are not afraid of the cold." ”

Ah Han sighed deeply, his tired expression became thicker, and he said softly: "Don't say such things in the future." ”

I nodded obediently, and he smiled softly and didn't say anything.
