After a long time, about two cups of tea, Emperor Xining suddenly sneered, stood up cleanly, and strode away without any nostalgia.

Yi Concubine picked up the night light again and went to close the door.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the candlelight in the lampshade flickered violently, and then suddenly went out!

Concubine Yi was plunged abruptly into darkness, annihilated by a wave of fear.

She covered her eyes with her hands in a broken expression, and the more she tried to cover it, the more clear the situation of that night became in her mind, and finally she couldn't bear it anymore, let out a terrible scream, and the whole person leaned against the door frame, slowly curled up on the ground.

Emperor Xining, who had already walked to the middle of the courtyard, suddenly heard the woman's scream, and habitually turned around to look.

But I saw that the open door of the house was like a godless eye, standing there in a black hole, and the woman with an indifferent expression had already merged with the darkness.

Emperor Xining's eyebrows tightened, he pursed his lips, turned around and strode back, before the maid arrived, he had turned around and ran to the door of the house, and picked up Concubine Yi from the ground.

"After all these years, you haven't changed at all." Emperor Xining gritted his teeth and said, with a little appointing helplessness in his ruthless tone.

Yi Concubine gritted her teeth, clasped her arms with her hands, and trembled in his arms.

On this night, Emperor Xining stayed in Yifu Palace.

Sitting on a rose chair, he stayed in front of Yi Concubine's bed for most of the night.

When the imperial concubine learned the news that Emperor Xining was fortunate to be concubine, she didn't overturn the beauty porridge that the palace maid had spent several hours boiling.

Before going to bed, Tong Xue told Cai Lan to close the window. Glancing at the sky outside the house, the clouds covered the ceiling, and the cold wind was biting, and it seemed that the sky was about to change.

The next day, when she woke up, Aunt Yue had already sent her a brand-new jacket and mink fur.

"In the second half of last night, it suddenly snowed, and the Queen Mother thought that it would change, so she specially ordered the slaves and maids to send these warm clothes early in the morning."

"Thank you for the reward. I'm tired of my aunt. Tong Xue took the jacket and the big coat and waited for the change of clothes to be washed. Look outside. I saw the pavilions and pavilions in the distance, the carved beams and paintings were all covered in silver, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the courtyard were stepping on knee-high snow, holding shovels. Shovel out a clean road.

"The snow is falling so quickly and heavily. I don't know how many people are going to starve again. Displaced! ”

Tong Xue looked at the white snow, and did not play with the mind of watching, thinking that many people would freeze to death or starve to death because of this. Then I thought of the little beggar who did not know where he was, and the sorrow on his face became even worse.

"At a young age, the girl gave birth to a bodhisattva's heart. When the Queen Mother woke up in the morning, she also sighed like this. Aunt Yue smelled Tong Xue's feelings, and couldn't help but echo.

Tong Xue smiled shallowly, and with Aunt Yue, she went to the main hall to accompany the Queen Mother for breakfast.

During the banquet, there was no figure of the imperial concubine, it turned out that the imperial concubine was busy sharing the worries of Emperor Xining, organizing the queen's palace maids to raise funds for the victims, and preparing warm clothes and food.

Tong Xue and the others were not idle, helping the Queen Mother sort out the clothes that could be donated in the Cining Palace, as well as hairpin ring jewelry, and packed up about thousands of taels of things.

The queen mother and the imperial concubine made a big move here, and the rest of the concubines had to follow suit, and the wealthy nobles in Beijing received the news, how dare they disobey, and set up porridge shops one after another, free porridge, or build a temporary shelter for the grass hut, and give warm clothes.

Therefore, the sudden heavy snow in Beijing, because of Emperor Xining's iron and bloody hand, vigorously cracked down on the behavior of raising prices, and the generosity of the ladies of the palace and various prefectures, but there was no refugee riot.

After being busy for more than ten days, it was December in a blink of an eye.

During this period, the snow also fell intermittently, but it was not as strong as the momentum at the beginning.

On this day, it snowed for nearly 20 days in a row, and it was rare to show a ray of sunshine. Because the princes were resting today, they all brushed to greet the Queen Mother, and took the Queen Mother to the pavilion in the imperial garden to watch the snow and enjoy the plums.

The Queen Mother looked at the big prince and the third prince with sparkling eyes, and knew that things were not as simple as watching the snow and appreciating the plums.

There is no old man who does not like to be lively.

was begged by the eldest prince, the third prince and the county lord Nephrite of Jiahe, so he agreed with a smile.

Tong Xue and the others also dressed tightly, put on deerskin boots, wrapped in a big coat, and went to the imperial garden, the pavilion by the Taichu Lake.

The pavilion was surrounded by heavy curtains on all sides, and the high-quality silver charcoal was burned in the room, and when Tong Xue and the others walked in, they only felt warm as spring, but they didn't notice the chill at all.

What surprised everyone even more was that on the silver silk charcoal, there was a hollow iron frame, which was neatly arranged, and the pieces of meat interspersed with bamboo tweezers had emitted an attractive fragrance!

"Ancestor, say hello or not!" The third prince, Zhu Youlin, hugged the queen mother's waist as if he was invited, and asked with his head up.

It seems that as long as the Queen Mother says a "no", he will stick to the Queen Mother like a piece of kraft candy and will not let go.

The Queen Mother nodded the melon seeds in the head of the third prince, "Who came up with this idea?" Maybe it's because you're greedy, so you use your ancestors as a cover, right? ”

"It's still the ancestors who understand the minds of our juniors! These days, I want to eat meat like this, and I want to go crazy while enjoying the snow! The county lord of Jiahe said with an exaggerated expression.

"You have to eat a few catties of barbecue today, otherwise when you come to the Sunrise Palace, your mother will have to blame the mourning family for not giving you meat to eat!" The Queen Mother also joked with a smile.

The county lord of Jiahe stuck out his tongue and handed a piece of roasted venison to the queen mother.

After all, the Queen Mother is old, and she is more happy to stay with her juniors, but she really can't eat much.

Therefore, the venison handed to the queen of heaven by the lord of Jiahe County was specially told to the little eunuch to cut the smallest piece, stew it in advance, and then symbolically roast the skin to crispy and brown.

The Queen Mother picked up the bamboo tweezers, took a bite of the venison, and saw that the meat was soft, and knew that the lord of Jiahe had thought about it in advance.

The filial piety in my heart is more smiling.

"Come, you eat too, otherwise you will be slow to start, but there will be no more!" The Queen Mother smiled and ordered everyone.

The pavilion is very large, and it does not look crowded when everyone sits together.

The eldest prince invited everyone to sit down like a little adult, and sat next to Tong Xue, grinning at her with bared teeth.

Tong Xue smiled indifferently, picked up a piece of roasted crispy and oily venison, and took a bite.

A mouth full of sweetness filled the entire taste buds, and for the sake of food, Tong Xue decided not to worry about the stupid prince.

After sweeping away the meat on the iron rack, the three princes drove out the palace maids and eunuchs in the pavilion and roasted all kinds of vegetables by themselves.

I don't know who had a whim, it was like going to the imperial dining room to sweep it, and collected all the vegetables that can be seen in the ordinary way, as long as they can be worn with bamboo tweezers. (To be continued......)
