Not long after Nie Yuan left the capital, it entered winter. One day, when the autumn snow was falling, it suddenly snowed, and the white snowflakes scattered on the ground one after another, paving a thin layer of novelty for the earth. Maybe it's because it's only been raining a lot, and there's not much snow on the ground.

Seeing this situation, Qiu Luoxue couldn't help but sigh: "Wow, it's the first snow here, it's so good." ”

The first snow in ancient times brought many surprises to the autumn snow, the magnificent palace courtyard became a white scene, the heavy eaves of the mountain-like roof was covered with snow, and the pillars on the periphery of the palace were still red, so the red and white scene was particularly beautiful in the eyes of the autumn snow. The withered trees on the edge of the palace wall stand upright, and the snow is scattered on the messy branches, which has a unique flavor at this moment. As the snow continues to increase, the white marble steps and cobblestone paving in the distance have been covered with snow, and the original appearance cannot be seen. I don't know when the plum blossoms bloom, but when the wind blows, the plum blossoms fall down with the petals and snowflakes, like long-lost dance partners, hovering, intertwining, and flying into the ground in the air. The fragrance of flowers rushed into Qiu Luoxue's nose, stimulating her olfactory nerves and making her smile sweetly.

If you look farther, you can see the whole palace scene, and the snowy weather, there are plum blossoms in full bloom, dotted with the white world. The palace is quiet, revealing a sophisticated and serene atmosphere. Autumn snow walks in such a place, leaving two rows of small footprints. Her figure gradually became smaller in the white sky, but it still did not leave someone's sight, but became clearer and clearer.

Xia Zimo walked behind Qiu Luoxue, and at first, in order not to disturb Qiu Luoxue, he walked very slowly. Later, he felt that the scene of Qiu Luoxue walking in the snow was too beautiful, like a beautiful painting, which made him have the urge to blend in with that painting, so he quickened his pace and walked up. So, on the road covered by snowflakes, Xia Zimo continued to walk forward along the footprints left by Qiu Luoxue, and slowly, his footprints and Qiu Luoxue's footprints merged together, and the distance between the two became closer and closer.

"Doesn't the emperor handle government affairs? They even hang out here with me. Qiu Luoxue felt that Xia Zimo was nearby, so she asked.

"You haven't looked back, how do you know it's me?" Xia Zimo asked.

"I don't know, it's just a feeling. Maybe the aura on the emperor's body is too powerful. Qiu Luoxue replied.

Hearing this answer, Xia Zimo hooked his lips and smiled, and said, "I also want to deal with government affairs with peace of mind, but the snow is too beautiful, and someone is also beautiful, so I was fascinated for a while." ”

"Oh~ The emperor said that someone is so beautiful, is it me?" Qiu Luoxue asked, she had already revealed a smile on the ground that Xia Zimo couldn't see.

"Yes, I'm still sighing, obviously a man, how can he be more beautiful than a woman?" Xia Zimo said.

He has not caught up with the autumn snow, but has kept a short distance from her. This distance is beautiful, and although I can't see the other person's expression when he speaks, I know that the other person will always be there. I walk the path you have walked, under the same sky, enjoying the most beautiful scenery. The snow was still falling, falling on their heads and clothes. Behind them, the two rows of footprints were slowly covered in snow, leaving no trace of them.

"Yes, if I were a woman, I would definitely charm thousands of men." Qiu Luoxue said.

"Now, there are already people who are fascinated." Xia Zimo muttered.

Who is the one who is charmed? Xia Zimo? Nie Yuan? Or someone else?

Xia Ziyan sat in front of the warm pavilion window and looked at the snow outside, and said to himself: "It's snowing." ”

Wine was warm on the stove in front of him, and on a snowy day, a pot of warm wine would be ready. There was a beautiful view outside the window and a glass of wine in front of him, but the atmosphere around him was a little lonely and sad.

Xia Ziyan showed his amorous signature smile and said, "Luoxue, Luoxue, is that person's name." ”

It had been falling for a long time, and a thick layer had accumulated on the ground. The next day, everyone began to clear the snow, but there was no movement at all. Because Qiu Luoxue ordered not to allow snow to be cleared, she always felt that the snow covering the ground was the most beautiful decoration given by nature to the world, and sweeping away the snow completely destroyed the beauty.

Qiu Luoxue stood under a plum tree wearing a white cloak, and the cloak was embroidered with white magnolias, which could not be seen on the white clothes, but because of the yellow stamens dotted in the center of the magnolia flower, the pattern could be vaguely seen.

"You look like a painting."

Qiu Luoxue was enjoying plum blossoms, and suddenly a voice came from behind her. Qiu Luoxue looked back and saw that it was Xia Zimo.

"Huh? You also wear a white and white cape, which makes you feel like you're wearing a couple's outfit. Qiu Luoxue saw the white cloak Xia Zimo was wearing and said with a smile.

"What's a couple's outfit?" Xia Ziyan, who came later, just heard Qiu Luoxue's words and asked.

Qiu Luoxue saw that Xia Ziyan was also wearing a white cloak, and he didn't have the artistic conception just now in an instant, and said: "You don't need to know, it's a group uniform now." Are white cloaks common? Why you should wear it too. ”

"This is the most popular costume in the capital this year, and of course this king also has it." Xia Ziyan said proudly.

"Cut~ I don't have the same." Qiu Luoxue said disdainfully.

"Why are you here at this time?" Xia Zimo asked.

"What about the imperial brother? Why here? Xia Ziyan asked rhetorically.

"I made an appointment with the prime minister yesterday to go for a walk on the street today." Xia Zimo replied generously.

Xia Ziyan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "That's just right, I'll go with you." Brother Huang, you don't often go out of the palace, I can help you introduce you. If you want to say that there is fun, delicious and delicious food in this capital, there is nothing I don't know. ”

"I also regard my cynicism as an advantage, and I am so thick-skinned." Qiu Luoxue grimaced at Xia Ziyan and said.

"I'm not cynical, I'm understanding and familiar with the scenery and people of the capital." Xia Ziyan argued.

Qiu Luoxue didn't answer his words, and said to Xia Zimo: "Your Majesty, arrange an errand for Prince Yan, don't let him be idle all day long."

"That makes sense, what should he do?" Xia Zimo pondered.

"No, I refuse." Xia Ziyan objected.

But Qiu Luoxue and Xia Zimo were the same as deliberate, completely ignoring his opposition.

"How about being sent to the local government?" Qiu Luoxue asked.

"No, those local officials will definitely be miserable by him." Xia Zimo said.

"Then let him take care of the granary? Patrol battalion? Taiwei Mansion? Qiu Luoxue suggested again.

"I can't go, so I don't want to do those things." Xia Ziyan continued to object.

"So what do you want to do? Continue to do nothing? Alas~ Really, what's the use of having a good brain, and having no ambitions. Qiu Luoxue said.

The three of them walked noisily along the way, mainly Xia Ziyan and Qiu Luoxue. Xia Zimo wants to be very quiet, which is related to his identity and personality. But now that he has come out today, his feelings have changed slightly from the past.

Walking up the main street, it was lively. Although it just snowed last night, it didn't dampen everyone's enthusiasm for traveling. It feels as if everyone is coming out to see the snow, and the streets are more lively than ever. There are also many small vendors selling along the streets, and there are all kinds of things to be desired.

"Sugar gourd, buy sugar gourd~"

Among the many clamours, Qiu Luoxue is the only one who has a soft spot for this. I searched around for the figure of the hawker and ran over happily. Xia Ziyan and Xia Zimo also followed.

"Three." Qiu Luoxue said to the small traders.

"Okay." After speaking, the vendor took down three sugar gourds and gave them to Qiu Luoxue, who gave him a silver ingot, and said, "No need to look for it." After that, he ran to Xia Zimo and Xia Ziyan with the sugar gourd and distributed the sugar gourd to them.

"Winter is more compatible with sugar gourds." Qiu Luoxue said with a happy smile.

Xia Zimo looked at the things in his hand, the sugar gourd was a very unfamiliar affair to him. However, he saw that Qiu Luoxue was very happy to eat, so he took a bite with the mentality of giving it a try.

Qiu Luoxue looked at him and took a bite and asked, "How is it?" It's delicious. ”

"It's sweet and sour." Xia Zimo commented.

"That's the secret of the sugar gourd." Qiu Luoxue said, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "It's not the first time you've eaten sugar gourds, right?"

"It's the first time I've eaten it." Xia Zimo replied.

"Dizzy, it's the first time I've eaten it, it's unbelievable." Qiu Luoxue said.

"There's something unbelievable about this." Xia Ziyan interjected, "The imperial brother is in the palace all the year round, and he rarely comes out, and even if he does, he won't eat these snacks." ”

"What's the matter, the snacks in the city are delicious, I like to eat them very much." Qiu Luoxue said.

"I think ......" Xia Ziyan just wanted to continue, but suddenly saw someone not far in front of him, and immediately stopped what he wanted to say.

"What do you think? Why don't you say it? Qiu Luoxue asked strangely.

"The woman...... It's Su Muyi. Xia Ziyan asked.

Qiu Luoxue looked at him and said, "That's right, it's her."

"I'll go first." After confirming, Xia Ziyan hurriedly fled the scene to avoid colliding with Su Muyi.

"Why is he doing this?" Xia Zimo asked puzzled.

"That is, for some reason, Prince Yan has been avoiding Princess Yan recently, so he moved to the Prime Minister's Mansion to live." Qiu Luoxue said.

"Because Princess Mu kicked him out on his wedding night?" Xia Zimo asked, his tone was very calm.

"Haha, haha......" Qiu Luoxue smiled awkwardly and said, "There are also reasons for that, but the main reason is that Princess Mu is too strong." However, how did the emperor know that Prince Yan was kicked out on his wedding night? ”

"What the people of the capital know, I will naturally know." Xia Zimo replied, "You should thank me well, otherwise you will be the one who will be kicked out on the wedding night." ”

Qiu Luoxue thought about it carefully, what he said was very reasonable, so she smiled and said: "Yes, thank the emperor for saving his life, and the minister will use this sugar gourd to show his gratitude."
