As soon as the sky was dark, the lights of each palace and hall were turned on one after another, and the dotted lights converged into one piece, forming a peaceful and warm harbor in the cold night. The carved dragon and painted phoenix in the Zhaoyang Hall glow with a faint luster under the candlelight, the layers of brocade curtains are rolled up, the tassels hang down to the ground, the shadows are full of shadows in the light and shadow, and the palace people quietly bow their heads to one side to listen to the command.

"What time is it?" Li Yan seemed a little bored in the silence, and turned her head to ask the palace maid beside her.

"Mrs. Qiyu, it's almost time." The palace maid bowed her body and replied respectfully.

"Then why hasn't Your Majesty come yet?" Li Yan muttered to herself slightly, and pointed to a palace man closer to the palace gate: "You go out and have a look, is Your Majesty's Imperial Lookout here?" ”

While he was talking, the steward in the hall walked in quickly, bowed and saluted, and said: "Madam, there is someone from the Jiaofang Palace, Your Majesty will stay in the Jiaofang Hall tonight, so that the lady does not have to wait." ”

"Hmph, I said that I would accompany me to taste the small stove tonight, and in the end, I went to the Jiaofang Hall again!" Li Yan couldn't help but feel depressed for a while, and sat in front of the desk without saying a word.

Seeing that Li Yan's face was like frost, the steward didn't dare to say much, and seeing that it was dinner time again, he hesitated left and right for a long time before he asked, "Madam, that little stove..."

"What little stoves, they've all been removed! Withdrawn! Li Yan flicked her sleeves with an angry face.

The steward was immediately silent, whispered his promise, and hurriedly retreated.

"Go down, all of you! Go down! Li Yan looked at the circle of palace people walking on thin ice, and her heart became more and more annoyed, and she threw herself out.

Finally, the hall was quiet, only the shadow stood alone under the candlelight, looking at the empty hall, Li Yan was lonely in her heart, holding a silver pot to fill herself with a cup of wine, taking a sip, her mouth was fierce, but her heart was much more comfortable. Without thinking, it was another cup, and then a pot bottomed out.

"Boom!" Seeing that she couldn't pour the wine, Li Yan casually threw the pot in her hand, picked up another silver kettle on the table, and simply didn't pour it, raised the pot to the spout and drank it. Not long after, the second pot was also drunk, and after the two pots of wine, Li Yan's face flushed, and her whole body became warm, so she opened her clothes casually, leaned against the painted screen on one side and closed her eyes slightly.

Extremely fine, extremely dense, like the sound of sand falling on the eaves. It's so light, so light that if you don't listen carefully, you may not hear the sound of the rustling at all. Li Yan couldn't help but open her eyes and said happily: "It's snowing!" ”

Sure enough, the snow outside had fallen fine and dense, and when Li Yan opened the temple door, there were already scattered snowflakes in the night sky. The cold night breeze was blowing with a little snowflakes, Li Yan not only did not feel cold, but felt extremely comfortable, she opened her hands and then fluttered the snowflakes, letting her skirt flutter in the wind, happy as when she was a teenager.

When the snowflakes covered the palace with a thin layer of new clothes, the palace found Li Yan who had fallen in the snow, "Madam..."

When the steward rushed to the Jiaofang Palace, Liu Che had already slept peacefully, and Da Chang Qiu Gui Changhai didn't dare to make his own decisions when he got the letter, so he was busy with the little palace maid to find Yun Niang to discuss. Yun Niang saw that the steward was sweating profusely, and knew that Liu Che was very fond of Li Yan, although she didn't know what the diagnosis of the imperial doctor was, but the matter would inevitably not be delayed, she pondered for a moment and said to the steward: "You wait a while, I'll wake up the queen." ”

"Thank you, Miss Yunniang!" The steward wiped the sweat from his neck with his sleeve and said with gratitude on his face.

Yun Niang didn't say much, turned around and walked into the inner hall gently. The emperor rested here, and dozens of Yulin soldiers stood outside the inner hall, and when they saw that Yun Niang next to the queen was approaching, they did not stop it, and Yun Niang gently pushed the door into the inner room.

Compared with the cold outside, the interior is much warmer, under the slight candlelight, separated by a desk and a screen of landscapes, flowers and birds, the emperor and queen are sleeping here. At this time, the curtain hung down to the ground, the incense was slow, Yun Niang didn't dare to make a sound, only tiptoed to the front of the curtain, and was trying to wake up Wei Zifu gently, but unexpectedly saw the tent curtain move slightly, with a very light sound, Wei Zifu had already gotten out of bed. Looking at the queen's silent gesture, Yun Niang understood, and hurriedly picked up the skirt and cotton robe hanging on the hanger, carefully dressed Wei Zifu, and after everything was in order, she stepped out of the inner room and gently covered the door of the palace.

"Yun Niang, what happened?" Walking a little farther, Wei Zifu asked gently.

"Empress Qiyu, Mrs. Li of Zhaoyang Palace came to the housekeeper, saying that Mrs. Li was drunk and accidentally fell into the snow, and now the imperial doctor has ordered someone to be brought over, I don't know if it matters, so I hurried to the Jiaofang Palace to tell and ask the queen to take an idea."

"How could Mrs. Li be so careless, the palace people serving in Zhaoyang Palace?" Wei Zifu frowned, as if puzzled.

"The slave maid heard that Mrs. Li was in a bad mood, and drove all the palace people in the palace out, who knew that this fork happened to come out." Yun Niang was full of sympathy, and said softly, "The steward is still trembling in the front hall, and when His Majesty knows about this, I don't know how to punish him." ”

Wei Zifu nodded and said, "Then let's go with him and have a look." ”

Yun Niang responded to the promise, and said: "Wait a minute, the queen waits, the night is snowy, and when the slave maid enters the house to get a cloak, it can also block the cold." ”

"Okay." Wei Zifu bowed slightly, Yun Niang quickly took the cloak, and the figures of the two people under the corridor hurried towards the front hall.

By the time Liu Che learned about this, it was already the next day.

Wei Zifu waited for Liu Che to get up, and said politely: "Your Majesty, the steward of Zhaoyang Hall came last night, and Mrs. Li accidentally fell into the snow after getting drunk..."

"What? What happened to Yeona? Liu Che's expression suddenly changed and asked eagerly.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the concubine has been to Zhaoyang Palace, and Mrs. Li should be fine except for some coughs." Wei Zifu replied gently.

Liu Che was a little relieved, and said, "Yan'er has always been delicate, how could she fall into the snow for no reason?" What was it like last night? ”

"The concubine heard the steward say afterwards that Mrs. Li drank some wine, and she was overjoyed when it was snowing at night and accidentally fell." Zifu's hands never stopped, she properly tied the jade belt around Liu Che's waist, and then tied Pei Huang, "When the concubine arrived, the imperial physician Ling had already seen Mrs. Li's pulse, and asked the relevant palace people, diagnosed it as a disease of wind and cold, and immediately prescribed medicine." After the concubine saw that Mrs. Li had drunk the medicinal soup, although she had a cough but her complexion was much better, and after she fell asleep, the concubine saw that there was no major problem, and asked the palace people in the palace to come back. ”

"Hmm...," Liu Che bowed slightly, "That's good." ”

"Yun Niang went to see it again in the morning, and it should be fine, but after all, she was cold last night, and she had to recuperate for a few days to recover."

Liu Che nodded slowly, "Queen of hard work!" ”

"Your Majesty is serious! The affairs of the harem are the duties of the concubines! Wei Zifu was as docile and gentle as ever, "Your Majesty moves, and the concubines will go to pass on the breakfast." ”

"No need!" Liu Che stopped and said, "Passing the chauff, I want to go to Zhaoyang Hall to see Yan'er." ”

"No!" Wei Zifu knew that Liu Che had no intention of eating, so he didn't force it much, but said: "The concubine asked Xiaohuangmen to go to Zhaoyang Hall to pass the meal, Your Majesty wakes up in the morning and has an empty stomach, if you don't use breakfast for fear of hurting the dragon's body, please Your Majesty take care of yourself more for the sake of the country." ”

"Okay, I got it." Liu Che's eyes were kind, and he gently patted Wei Zifu's hand and said, "I really didn't choose the wrong queen!" ”

"Your Majesty has praised it!" Wei Zifu lowered his eyes, and his eyes were soft and corresponding. After more than ten years in the deep palace, she no longer has the luxury of expecting a couple in her life, and for the emperor, the new face has always been better than the old, and it has never changed. She has always understood this truth, so she never asks for anything, but she hopes to stay by his side and wish him good every day.

----

When he arrived at the Zhaoyang Palace, Liu Che was afraid of disturbing the beauty's recuperation, so he specially ordered people not to pass it on, and walked into the inner hall as soon as he drove it. The palace people serving in the palace saw the emperor suddenly coming, and they bowed to the ground one after another, lying on the brocade couch Li Yan was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly made a posture to get up to salute, and was supported by Liu Che, and his concern was overflowing, "Yan'er, are you better?" ”

It's okay not to ask, as soon as she asks, Li Yan has some pear blossoms with rain, a little pitiful, Liu Che, who has not yet spoken, is more than pity, and sits on the edge of the bed and hugs Li Yan in his arms.

"Your Majesty... Do you remember Yeon'er? Li Yan was in Liu Che's arms, with a hint of resentment in her grievances.

"How could I have forgotten you?" Liu Che stroked Li Yan's hair and said softly.

"Then why did you miss the appointment yesterday? Your Majesty obviously made an appointment with his concubines to taste a small stove..."

"It's all mine, but now that you're sick, I'll make up for it another day." Liu Che said thoughtfully, the hand stroking his hair stopped slightly, and then said: "The palace people in your palace are so negligent, I will definitely punish them severely, and what matters now is your body, which must be carefully regulated." ”

Li Yan naturally knows how to be proportionate, and a moderate grievance can make Liu Che apologize and cherish it more and more, but excessive entanglement will make people feel disgusted, so she put away her emotions and said softly: "Thank you Your Majesty for your love, the imperial doctor ordered me to leave a prescription, and I just take it according to the prescription every day." ”

"That's good." Liu Che nodded and said, "You're so alive, I'll come to see you later." ”

"No!" Li Yan suddenly raised her eyes again and said coquettishly, "Will Your Majesty accompany Yan'er tonight?" ”

"That's nature!" Liu Che looked at Li Yan's eyes with love and pity, and said softly: "Who else can I accompany you if I don't accompany you?" ”

"Hmm." Li Yan replied softly, lowered her eyes, and finally a smile appeared on her cheeks nestled in Liu Che's arms.
