Chapter Seventy-One: The Meaning of Closeness
The snow drifted for a whole day, and at night, eunuchs carried papier-mâché lanterns to deliver the cold warming soup given by the lord and queen to the courtyards of the princesses and princes.
"Thank you to the Lord and the Queen for the meal."
As Baili Baoshu spoke, the magpie who was kneeling beside him got up and took the food box from the hand of the eunuch in dark blue palace clothes.
"The lord and queen asked the eldest princess if she was well", some of the elderly eunuchs lowered their heads deeply, and could only see the clothes in the room with broken corners.
"It's been better these days, thank you for the concern of the Lord and the Queen."
The magpie took out the white porcelain cup, returned the food box to the eunuch who was still waiting, and stuffed a few more silver bills by the way.
"Thank you for the reward of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the slave will not disturb Her Highness and go back to the palace to die."
"Father-in-law go slowly", Baili Baoshu looked at the eunuch who walked out slowly.
Put down the heavy felt cloth again, and placed two red-hot charcoal basins in the room, with thick cushions on the floor, and Baili Baoshu covered his knees with a white fur fur, stretching out his slender ten fingers and placing them on the charcoal basin separated by the iron mesh to keep warm.
"Is Your Highness still feeling cold?" , The magpie looked at Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, who had lost a lot of weight over time, with some concern, "Your Highness, do you want to drink some hot soup to keep warm."
"Bring me some soup you prepared."
"Yes", the magpie lowered his head and walked outside, and took out the porcelain cup sent from the palace of Hengyu Kingdom.
has come to the royal city of Hengyu Kingdom, and several people who have served in Baili Baoshu know that their Royal Highness doesn't seem to like the things here of Hengyu Kingdom very much, whether it is food and clothing, they all use it from Qiang Kingdom.
"This Heng Yuguo is really cold."
"It's still snowing."
"I don't need you to go out to run errands, but I'm complaining."
"Your Highness, you see that the two of them are uniting to bully me again", Jiao Rao glanced at Guerlain and Magpie respectively unconvinced, and turned to Baili Baoshu and complained.
The magpie took the eight-treasure blue and white porcelain bowl in Baili Baoshu's hand.
With some heat on his body, Baili Baoshu knew that the winter of Hengyu Kingdom was indeed much sadder than that of Qiang Kingdom, and calculated the time, this snow melted and it should almost be the winter hunting season of the royal family of Hengyu Kingdom.
"Who is bullying you, Jiao Rao is a hero with martial arts, how dare I wait for a little woman to make a mistake in front of the hero", the magpie put things and turned around, and began to continue to joke with Jiao Rao.
Baili Baoshu also listened to the three of them bickering from time to time with a smile on his face, which could be regarded as relieving his boredom.
"How many fur furs did you bring with you?" , Baili Baoshu gently pulled the robe on his body and asked.
"I brought five of them," Guerlain replied, looking up at Baili Baoshu.
"Two fox furs, one is the one His Royal Highness passed on the road, and the other is the fire fox fur, which is also the new reward of His Royal Highness and the Great Ceremony, and one is the silver mouse fur, one is the gray sable fur, and the last one is the fur fur that His Highness used to like, but looking at the weather in Hengyu Kingdom, I am afraid that I can't wear it."
Baili Baoshu nodded lightly, and it was relatively complete.
"You've got enough warm clothes."
"Your Highness, rest assured, Your Highness told me before, and the slaves and maids also brought a lot of clothes."
"That's good, Hengyu Country is not more convenient than Qiang Kingdom, you all look at it more", Baili Baoshu withdrew his hands that finally had some warmth, "When the snow melts, I will take you out for a walk."
As soon as Baili Baoshu's words fell, a pair of delicate apricot eyes lit up and said happily, "Your Highness really wants to take the slaves and maids out?" …… I still don't want it, the slaves and maids here are not familiar with it, if it is ...... then."
"Since I said so, I don't need you to worry about that then."
Baili Baoshu looked at Jiao Rao, who was obviously eager to try, but had to be patient and put on a calm look, so he couldn't help but say funny.
"Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness the Second Princess is asking to see her in the outer room", Feng Ci said with a cold voice standing at the felt curtain between the outer room and the inner room.
"Let her in", Baili Baoshu is not surprised at all that Baili Feifeng will come over.
Hearing this, Jiao Rao and Guerlain immediately knelt on the edge, and even the magpie sat up straight.
"Imperial sister, it's really warm here", Baili Feifeng walked into the felt curtain, took off the fur on her body and threw it to the maid behind her, "Imperial sister is here to greet the imperial sister."
"There's no need to be so vain", Baili Baoshu looked at Baili Feifeng who came in and said, "Sit here."
"Thank you, Sister Huang", Baili Feifeng responded crisply, and then lifted her gorgeous skirt and sat over.
"Fortunately, the imperial sister is also here, otherwise there would not even be anyone to talk to", Baili Feifeng looked at Baili Baoshu with a smile, "The imperial sister's face looks much better than the previous few days."
"Well, you don't have to bump all the way, it's naturally much better" Baili Baoshu responded lightly, "It's time to send a good letter to my father in two days, do you want to talk to your father and the concubine, go back and write it, and let people send it back."
"The royal sister just put pen to paper, the royal sister has nothing to say, she just hopes that her father and mother will be healthy."
Baili Baoshu is not unable to hear the small gesture revealed by Baili Feifeng's words, since he thinks so much about being the queen of Hengyu Kingdom, he is not the emperor who will not secretly push her.
According to Baili Feifeng's temperament, I don't know what kind of ups and downs will happen in the Qiang Country in the future, and since I want my father to open his mouth and let people follow, a large part of the will does not want to let people stay in the Qiang Country anymore.
However, even if he has been by Qi Qingwan's side these days, he has really grown a little, Baili Feifeng took the initiative to come over to show that he wanted to play a sisterly drama with him, and he was not necessarily unhappy to cooperate.
Baili Feifeng stayed on Baili Baoshu's side for a while before braving the wind and snow to return to his side.
Watching Baili Feifeng leave, Baili Baoshu asked people to prepare the sanitary ware for cleaning their hands, and the brocade quilt was also warmed by the hot pot early.
The magpie served Baili Baoshu to sleep, and Guerlain and Jiaorao rested outside, so they hugged the quilt and slept directly on the footsteps under Baili Baoshu's bed.
There is only a small light in the room.
Baili Baoshu closed his eyes, and could faintly hear the cold wind whistling outside and the sound of falling snow.
The dusk noise was approaching, and Baili Baoshu didn't know how he could be here, and the thick and solemn palace pavilions were all bubbling with cold fire.
For the palace that was still somewhat familiar to him, Baili Baoshu seemed to be walking aimlessly, and the two huge palace doors opened, and many panicked palace maids and eunuchs ran out.
Screaming and running towards the outside of the palace.
Baili Baoshu wanted to say something, but these people didn't seem to see their appearance, and continued to walk forward, walking through hundreds of steps, to the Yingwu Palace, which symbolized the supreme power of Hengyu Kingdom.
In the middle of the Yingwu Hall knelt a group of shivering civil officials, who were held by armour-clad soldiers on both sides with swords shining with cold light.
Baili Baoshu suddenly looked up, and on the highest throne sat Ouyang Fan, who had his hair scattered, with bloodshot scars on his face, and his eyes looked at the person holding the long sword against his neck with resentment.
Baili Baoshu couldn't see who the person in the silver armor was, he just felt that this back was extremely familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen this person.
Baili Baoshu wanted to step forward to see this person clearly, but his footsteps seemed to be frozen in place, and he couldn't move anyway.
Ouyang Fa, who was extremely embarrassed on the throne, seemed to say something loudly to the person standing in front of him, and finally frantically brushed away the long sword pointed at his neck, raised his hand and cursed the person in front of him, and finally suddenly crashed into the golden pillar not far away.
A scarlet ...... in front of you It was like he was splattered with blood.
When I opened my eyes suddenly, I saw a dark purple curtain with rose petals.
"Your Highness?".
Baili Baoshu heard the magpie cry out to himself with sleepiness, and Guerlain outside seemed to hear the movement, and also groped to get up and light an extra lamp.
"It's okay......" Baili Baoshu seemed to hear his voice still trembling, "It's a dream, you can continue to rest."
Slowly moving his body, Baili Baoshu seemed to have found a realistic feeling, his fingers tightly grasped the corners of the quilt, but his mind closed his eyes a little confused.
Maybe the dream was too real, Baili Baoshu didn't fall asleep in a groggy state although his eyes were closed, until a flute of Qingyue sounded intermittently outside, with a melodious modulation that seemed to come from far away.
Baili Baoshu has never dreamed of the events of the previous life since he returned.
It's just that I didn't expect that not long after returning to this royal city, I dreamed of such a picture, and my heart was a little panicked.
The weather outside is still snowing, but it's starting to get smaller.
Baili Baoshu got up very early, and after a simple breakfast, he began to sit by the brazier and practice calligraphy and meditation.
It's just that this time it doesn't even seem to have the slightest effect on practicing calligraphy.
The magpie was also guarding her eldest princess with some hidden concern on the side, and was just about to say something when she saw the felt cloth being pulled away.
"It's snowing lightly, it's lively outside, there are Janissaries competing in the school field not far away, and even many people in the post station have gone over to see the excitement, and the general Qin sent someone to ask His Highness if he wants to go out for a walk."
Baili Baoshu put down the pen in his hand.
Raising her eyes, she looked up at Jiao Rao, whose face was flushed, and got up.
"Go and get the fur."
ps: Forgive me, I forgot to upload the code yesterday, and I went to sleep after finishing the word, and I have to reflect on this serious incident
