Warm and cold.

The morning sun didn't last long, and the clear blue sky seemed to be covered with a gray-black coat.

The thunder rumbled non-stop, but the rain was not very heavy, and it was like a spring rain that moisturized things. However, it is already winter.

"It's raining this day, do you still want to go to the Qinwu Academy to practice martial arts?" Chu Yueqing asked Xuanyuan Hao, who was about to go out.

"All year round, rain or shine, Master Ding has always taught like this." Xuanyuan Hao had long been accustomed to Master Ding's way of doing things, changed into his martial arts clothes, and walked out with an umbrella.

Xuanyuan Hao wore a new moon-white robe, with a unique pattern embroidered with blue silk thread on the cuffs and neckline, and a jade flute hanging all over the waist as a decoration. What he was holding in his hand was just an ordinary oil-paper umbrella, but he suddenly turned around and said in a childish tone, "Qingqing, I'll be back early." ”

Chu Yueqing looked at his dark eyes, and suddenly realized that he was like an immortal who was not stained by the world, as if he should not appear in the world.

Before she woke up from this shock, he had already stepped away, leaving Chu Yueqing with a dusty back.

In a trance, her eyes changed to other scenes, surrounded by heavy snow and covered in snow. The trees next to it are lush and green. She also stood and watched him leave, accompanied by the sound of 'creaking, creaking' snow in her ears.

――

"Princess, Chu Ming is here." Mo Weaving put away the umbrella and stood in front of the porch, followed by Chu Ming, who was thinly dressed.

Chu Yueqing retracted his thoughts, secretly thinking that he was probably sick from the wind in the morning, and even hallucinations appeared, raised his eyes to look at Chu Ming and said, "Why are you wearing so thin?" Where's your padded coat? ”

Then he said to the people around him, "It's cold, so let's all go inside." If you catch a cold, you will suffer. ”

There was a brazier in the house, and the pot was burning silver carbon. It was sent by Steward Zhang in the morning, saying that the house would buy some silver carbon every year, although the amount was small, but only the prince would come to live for more than a month every year, and these were all left over from last year.

Steward Zhang also came to visit in person, saying that the weather suddenly cooled down, and the price of silver and carbon rose by leaps and bounds, hoping that Chu Yueqing could save some money, and when the price of silver and carbon recovered, he would buy more.

Chu Yueqing looked at Steward Zhang's shining eyes, smiled heartily, and said, "Don't worry about Steward Zhang, the cashier's income and expenditure in this house can be handled according to your own section." This princess believes in Steward Zhang. ”

After getting the agreement, Steward Zhang withdrew with a smile.

Clothes are distributed quarterly every year, and even the lowest-ranking people are given new clothes every quarter. She asked Steward Zhang, Chu Ming and his family have been in the house for three years, and it is estimated that Chu Ming's size has not grown much~

"Back to the princess, minion, take all your clothes and go to the pawnshop. Please punish the princess. Although Chu Ming is already twelve, he has been poor since he was a child, he has not had enough food and clothing, and now he looks like he is only ten years old.

Chu Yueqing wanted to help him, and it was understandable that he would take off his clothes in order to save his sister. Then he said: "If there is a reason, the punishment will be spared." How's your sister doing? ”

Chu Ming replied: "Thank you, princess, my sister's condition has stabilized, and her body is recovering." ”

"That's good, as the saying goes, illness is like a mountain, and the ward is like a thread. Although the condition has been controlled now, it is still necessary to recuperate.

However, you can't always lie in the house, and you can walk outside more when your physical condition allows. This is good for the health of the body.

Also, Steward Zhang came this morning, and the new cotton clothes will be distributed the day after tomorrow at the latest. Then you will come back to me. Chu Yueqing said some words, looked at Chu Ming's weak body, and couldn't help but say a few more words, "You are small and don't look like your age at all."

I asked Steward Zhang for you, and you don't need to do the work in the house in the future, but you have to actively exercise, and now you are still like a child when you go out like this, and I have a lot of limitations in letting you go out to do errands.

So, your task at this stage is to eat more, eat fatter, and grow taller, you know? ”

Originally, she wanted to train Chu Ming to be a talent for collecting intelligence, but now it is better to make him physically stronger first, so as not to go out and be bullied.

Chu Ming hadn't been cared for for a long time, and when he listened to the words, his eyes were red, and his voice was a little choked, "Yes, princess." ”

"Okay, then you go back and rest first, it's raining today, take care of the windows in the house, so as not to get cold."

――

Mo Zhi and Mo Lian were waiting around, and Qianyue and Qianying were sent to the kitchen by Chu Yueqing early.

It's still news from Moori, although Qianying is young, she already has good cooking skills.

However, Chu Yueqing did not tell the two of them to make delicious food this time, but asked them to stare at the big kitchen and asked them to boil more hot ginger soup and give it to the people in the house.

The weather suddenly turned cold, and the weak people in the house were easily infected with the wind cold, so Chu Yue prepared brown sugar ginger soup early in the morning to ward off the cold, warm the stomach, and replenish the body.

A moment later, Qianying came to the main house with her specially boiled brown sugar date slices honey and ginger water.

With the chilly air in the air, this bowl of warm ginger soup is particularly heartwarming.

"Yes, Qianying is really good at craftsmanship, ordinary ginger soup can be boiled so delicious!" With a bowl of ginger soup in his stomach, Chu Yueqing's head cleared up a lot.

"Thank you, Princess, for the compliment." Qianying has a pair of small dimples, and her smile is very sweet.

Listening to the cheerful words in the room, a figure hesitated outside the door, but finally tightened his sleeves and knocked on the door hard, "Miss, Miss, are you in the house?" ”

Miss? This title was only called by Xia Xiang, and it was the last time she went back to Lehou Mansion. Since Xia Xiang escaped in the Qinwu Temple before, she has not appeared until today.

Chu Yueqing also forgot about her in the past two days, and there was a knock on the door again, "Miss, you open the door for the old slave..."

Chu Yueqing frowned, it wasn't Xia Xiang, her voice was much older than Xia Xiang, and Xia Xiang wouldn't be so stupid, she called her 'Miss' in King Hao's mansion, "Mo Lian, you go and open the door." ”

"Yes, Princess." Rao is such a happy girl that Molian feels that something is wrong. The princess is already married, who still calls her Miss, is this person stupid?!

The door was opened, and a cold air poured into the room, and everyone in the room couldn't help but shiver. And Granny Li, who came in from outside the door, was suddenly surrounded by the warm heat, her nose itched, and she sneezed earth-shatteringly.

Chu Yueqing looked at the person in front of him, and his brain automatically extracted the memory of this person.

Granny Li, the rough mother-in-law brought by the Li family from her house, is lazy and useless. I don't understand the etiquette that I should know at all, Chu Yueqing looked at her funny appearance, and the corners of her eyes couldn't help twitching, what are these people concerned about? Such a useless person was put by her side to be a housekeeper, and she actually obeyed like this!

"Granny Li, why are you in such a hurry to come to me?"

When Granny Li heard Chu Yueqing ask her, she wiped her nose with her sleeve in a panic, "Miss, the old slave is rude." The old slave is really, there is, there is a suspicion~"

Mo Lian was straight and said, "Granny Li, you have to change your name to Princess now." ”

Granny Li took a sip of Mo Lian, "You little girl, what do you know!" That's what the old woman has always called. ”

Mo Lian had never seen such a vulgar person, and said with a blushing face: "The princess is married to the prince, of course she should be called the princess." ”

"Mo Lian is right, Granny Li, you should change your words." Chu Yueqing held his forehead and said, "You should have something serious to do here, right?" ”

Granny Li wanted to say something more, but when she heard Chu Yueqing's words, she remembered her purpose this time, and opened her mouth to howl, "Princess, Xia Xiang is missing!" (To be continued)

PS: I was going to write about Xia Xiang's disappearance from the last chapter, but it turned out that it wasn't written until this chapter! I feel like there's no SEI anymore~
