Early the next morning, Liu Qingyan got up and cleaned up, and sat outside the library with the small red clay stove that Dashuang had prepared for her early, waiting for the little boys to come over.

It was still Chunsheng who took the lead and led a group of children towards the library together, everyone's faces were bloody, and they no longer looked like the pale and skinny children in the past. Seeing such a scene, Liu Qingyan's heart swelled with warmth, and she finally found that her efforts in the past few days were not in vain, and she was very satisfied.

"Princess." Chunsheng led a group of children of all sizes to salute Liu Qingyan together, and Liu Qingyan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Chunsheng's child's etiquette is really getting more and more thoughtful.

Liu Qingyan smiled and nodded: "You don't have to be so polite, later today, I will go into the palace to meet the queen mother, so I won't be in the house at night, you don't have to come to say goodbye to me." ”

Chunsheng responded: "The princess's words, Chunsheng wrote them down first." My younger siblings won't forget it. ”

"I know you're all very well-behaved now," Liu Qingyan smiled and nodded, "Let's all go in." ”

The children love the warm and warm library and the smell of books in the library. At the moment, he got Liu Qingyan's permission, and they rushed in, Chunsheng had to wait for all the children to go in as usual, and before that, he stood respectfully in front of Liu Qingyan, his eyes slightly lowered.

Liu Qingyan glanced at him and asked again: "Chunsheng, you have been in the palace for some time, and the silver taels you have saved now should be enough for your mother to see a doctor, right?" ”

"Back to the princess," Chunsheng said, "I have already found a doctor to see my mother, and I have prescribed medicine, and now my mother is much better, but she still can't get out of bed and walk." Originally, my mother wanted to come to the door to thank the princess in person. ”

"There's no need to come to thank you, it's tiring." Liu Qingyan smiled and waved her hand.

"Mother said that if it weren't for the princess, whether it was her or me, maybe we would have died this winter, but it was because of the princess that we could survive." Chunsheng said.

After a pause, he added: "Mother said that the grace of dripping water must be repaid by the spring, and Chunsheng will be repaid for such a gift from the princess." ”

Liu Qingyan sighed: "The best reward you can give me is not to live up to my expectations of you." I told you the same thing yesterday, didn't I? The library is here, and you all cherish this opportunity. If you take the imperial examination in the coming day, you can do things for the Great Wei and the emperor, and you can also hoe the strong and help the weak with the prince in the court, and glorify the Great Wei. ”

Chunsheng nodded: "The princess's words, Chunsheng must keep them in mind." ”

After being silent for a while, Chunsheng said again: "By the way, princess, when we came over this morning, we saw some strange people who had been looking at the palace, I don't know if there were any other intentions. ”

"Other attempts?" Liu Qingyan raised her eyebrows, and involuntarily recalled what Lu Yujian and Wang Zhao talked about last night. said that Nangong Hui probably spent money to buy a killer, and wanted to take Liu Qingyan's life.

Chunsheng nodded: "But I can't see it clearly, they will soon disappear clean again." However, the princess still has to be careful, don't go out alone, and go to see the queen later in the future, and bring a few more guards. ”

Liu Qingyan couldn't help but smile: "You kid, you are really becoming more and more like a little adult." ”

Chunsheng smiled: "It is said that the children of poor families are in charge of the family early, and I remember that I have a distant cousin who lost all his family members in a winter a few years ago, but he also started to earn his own life early. When he lived alone in the market, he seemed to be five or six years old. ”

Liu Qingyan sighed: "I said that everyone is very hard, and I don't know what happened to your cousin." If you can, you can recruit him to our palace. ”

"I don't know what happened to him," Chunsheng shook his head very lightly, "I heard that he has mixed well over the years, and he came to my house earlier to deliver some food, but it was very little." He probably didn't want to have anything to do with us poor relatives. ”

After finishing speaking, Chunsheng took a step towards the library pavilion: "Princess, you must be careful. ”

"Okay, I will." Liu Qingyan smiled and nodded, and then waved at his back.

At this time, Liu Qingyan did not take the so-called distant cousin mentioned in Chunsheng's words to heart. She sat in front of the library for a few more moments, listening to the bursts of laughter and reading from the library, smiling, and her palm involuntarily caressing her abdomen.

I think it will be like this in the near future, when the child is born, right? Let her children play with their peers, play together, and read and write together, which will be a great relief for her, a mother.

After lunch, Liu Qingyan cleaned up and prepared to enter the palace to meet the queen.

"The queen mother's body seems to be better these days, and I really haven't seen her for a while," Liu Qingyan said with emotion to the little partridge behind her while combing her hair, "I went to visit today, I saw the queen mother, I just hope that she can be in better health, at least after seeing His Royal Highness the crown prince ascend the throne......"

She didn't continue, although she also knew that birth, old age, sickness and death were the norm of people, but it seemed a little inappropriate to talk about the queen of a country in this way.

The little partridge remained silent, and he seemed to be cautiously observing his surroundings with an indifferent face at all times.

For the little partridge, the most important thing is to protect Liu Qingyan's safety.

Dashuang had already arranged the carriage and the accompanying guards, as well as the gifts to be sent, and walked up to her at the moment, and lowered his head: "Princess, please go." ”

"Well, let's go." Liu Qingyan stood up and led the little partridge and the big pair to get up and walk outside.

As soon as she walked to the door, Liu Qingyan was a little surprised. Because I don't know when it started outside, there was a lot of snow, and for a while, the whole world seemed to be covered in white.

Liu Qingyan stood at the door, stared blankly at the heavy snow for a while, sighed and said: "I just said last night that I wanted to watch the first heavy snow of the year with the prince, and it seems that my hope has been disappointed." ”

Neither the little partridge nor the big pair spoke, but just watched quietly.

After a while, Liu Qingyan took a step and continued to walk outside: "Okay, let's go, you don't have to use an umbrella, I think it's covered by this heavy snow, and it doesn't matter if it's covered with hair and body." It's kind of funny, it seems like a stupid thing I did when I was a kid, right? ”

The difference is that when she was young, the elders in the family were always not allowed to do this, but now she is the biggest person in the Qi Palace, she has to say whatever she wants, everyone else has to listen to her, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't listen to dissuasion.

Therefore, when Liu Qingyan walked to the carriage outside the door, she was already covered with snowflakes.

Dashuang sighed: "Princess, why do you look like a child?" The snowflakes are falling, and I don't know if it will be frozen. If you are cold and infected with wind cold, what should you do? ”

Liu Qingyan smiled: "How can there be such a thing, look at me, isn't it okay?" ”

Saying that, she brushed off the snowflakes all over her body for herself, smiling, and seemed to be in a really good mood.

The driver was worried, sat in front of the carriage and looked at her, and smiled: "Princess, get in the carriage quickly, if it is any longer, I am afraid that the heavy snow will prevent us from entering the palace." ”

"If the weather continues like this, I don't know if I can go back to the palace today. I don't know if the queen will leave the princess in the palace for the night, if so, it will be a little troublesome. Dashuang sighed, babbling.

Liu Qingyan smiled without saying a word, set off to get into the carriage, and the ghost came down to help her, and the moment she stepped on the land, she had a not very good feeling. He frowned, because of his years of experience in licking blood from the tip of the knife, he intuitively believed that the current situation was very wrong, and there seemed to be some murderous aura around him.

"What's wrong?" Liu Qingyan looked at the ghost and saw sorrow, and for a while she didn't know why he had such an expression.

"Something isn't right." The ghost frowned, looked at the little partridge again, and said, "You go and investigate around first, and see if there are any killers lurking, but if there is, kill them." ”

The little partridge nodded slightly, turned away, and quickly disappeared from sight.

Liu Qingyan also frowned: "Are those killers ready to do it today?" ”

"I don't know, but I'd better be careful." The ghost said sadly, helped Liu Qingyan into the carriage, and said, "I can't use martial arts now, if I meet any killers, I may not be able to help." But fortunately, Dashuang had already made arrangements, prepared many guards to protect the front and rear of the carriage, and there were also many secret guards in the dark to protect the princess's safety. ”

"I'm really sorry for you." Liu Qingyan was quite emotional.

After getting into the carriage and driving slowly in the vast snow to the front of the palace, Liu Qingyan felt that the carriage had stopped, and thought that she had encountered a killer, she looked at Dashuang: "Why are these killers so rampant?" It's just outside the palace! ”

As she spoke, she lifted the curtain and looked out, only to see the prince's carriage, from which he was climbing.

Liu Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief and also got out of the carriage: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this snow is really big enough, where did you come back from?" ”

"I went outside to do some things," the prince smiled slightly, and turned to Liu Qingyan, "Is the princess also in the palace?" Why don't we go together? ”

Liu Qingyan smiled and nodded: "It's okay, let's go together." ”
