Chapter 57: First Snow

At the beginning of November, snowflakes fell in Kyoto, the first snow of the year.

Ruo'er stood in the courtyard, looking at the white flowers in the courtyard, laughing childishly, thinking that the plum blossoms should have bloomed now, so he called a few little palace maids to fold a few plum blossoms and came back.

She happily entered the hall with the plum blossoms she picked back, but saw Su Yang sitting in front of the window with a sad face, and couldn't help but step forward and ask: "Niangniang, what's the matter? It snowed for the first time today, don't you go out with them to enjoy the plum blossoms?"

"The palace is worried about the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet, the piano artist came to teach the fingering of the song is still useless, and now the palace has a headache when he looks at those scores, and he can't remember how to play it when he leaves the score!"

If she had known that she would be so worried about this today, she wouldn't go to the Imperial Garden to play the piano, and she had caused so much trouble for herself in vain!

"Niangniang can cheer up, I heard that the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor's biological mother Concubine Zhen will return to Beijing, she will also participate in this banquet, Niangniang must prepare well and leave a good impression on her." ”

Mingyu looked at Su Yang listlessly, brought a bowl of hot tea, and told her about the special nature of this Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet.

"The emperor's biological mother is coming?" Su Yang heard her talk about Murong Jue's biological mother, her eyes lit up reflexively, she blinked her eyes and looked at her, and asked, "Now this palace is the only concubine in the imperial palace, and it is also the only daughter-in-law of this concubine. ”

Looking at Su Yang's bright eyes, Mingyu couldn't help but cover her lips and chuckle, and said: "Look at you, when I heard that the concubine was coming, I was in good spirits all of a sudden, don't worry, this concubine is weak and her ears are soft, as long as you prepare some warm meals, she will be very happy." ”

Su Yang was reminded by Mingyu to realize that he had undue expectations for this matter, and coughed lightly and said: "Since this is the case, then this time the meal in the family banquet must prepare more medicinal food that warms and nourishes the body, and now that it is winter, it doesn't hurt to use more medicinal food." ”

"Yes. ”

Mingyu smiled at Su Yang's pretending to be calm, didn't say much, and went down with the plate.

"Ruo'er, for the palace to study ink, the palace should make a good list and call the dining room to prepare. ”

"Yes!"

Ruo'er saw that Su Yang finally had the spirit at this time, and naturally rejoiced, and happily came over to study ink for her.

Su Yang was busy in the harem, but Murong Jue was busy in the front court.

Inside the Imperial Study.

"Your Majesty, this is an excerpt from the Ministry of Rites......"

The little eunuch carried today's recital over, and Murong Jue raised his head and glanced at it, but it was just a day's recital, and he caught up with the number of the first half of the month.

"Have you seen it? What do they say?"

Looking at the table full of twists and turns, Murong Jue only felt a headache, and he didn't want to look at it anymore, so he asked the little eunuch.

"The servants have read a few books, and most of them are asking the emperor not to invite the concubine back......"

The little eunuch's voice became quieter and quieter, until at last it was like a mosquito.

When Murong Jue heard this, he was furious, and threw the piece of music in his hand on the ground, scolding: "Those old puppets, I just want my biological mother to return to the palace for two days, they have to toss like this, they are really like women!"

"Your Majesty, I don't blame you, Concubine Zhen lives in the palace, that is the rule set in the previous dynasty, and you adults are only ......"

"Bastard!

The little eunuch wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Murong Jue and didn't dare to continue.

Since Murong decided to take Concubine Zhen back to the palace for the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet, all the courtiers in the court have written one after another, and the reason is only because this is the rule of the previous dynasty and cannot be easily changed, but now that he Murong is in power, the emperor wants to see his own mother, what is there to stop this!

"I can't figure out why my biological mother has been made a concubine by my father, so why they still don't allow me to take her back to the palace. ”

"I think it's because I am afraid of the Queen Mother......"

The little eunuch picked up the fold that had fallen on the ground and placed it on the table.

When Murong Jue heard this, he had an abnormal headache, he knew that the current Queen Mother had the grace to raise him, but after all, he was not his biological mother, there was always some estrangement between the two, and he didn't want the Queen Mother to be angry.

The more he thought about these troubles, the more upset Murong Chu became, so he simply put the matter aside for the time being, and called the little eunuch to prepare to go out to relax.

"Let's go out for a walk with me. ”

"Yes!"

The two of them left the imperial study and walked around aimlessly in the harem, somehow, unconsciously Murong Jue walked outside the Moon Shadow Palace, watching the palace maids and eunuchs coming in and out, they couldn't help but stop one and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"If you go back to the emperor, Niangniang heard that the emperor intends to invite the concubine back to the palace, so she is busy preparing the medicinal food for the family banquet, and sending slaves and maids to search for medical books!"

Listening to the words of the little palace maid, Murong Jue couldn't help frowning slightly, he wanted to let the concubine return to the palace, but before the official decree was made, he even knew about the Moon Shadow Palace, it seemed that this news was circulating very quickly.

But thinking that she heard that the concubine had returned to the palace, she couldn't help laughing, a matter that had not yet been officially decided could make her so excited, it seemed that this imperial concubine was really concerned about his affairs.

Thinking so, he let go of the palace maid.

"Go ahead. ”

The palace maid owed a debt to Murong Du, and then went down to do her own business.

"You wait here, don't tell me, I'll go in and see. ”

As he spoke, Murong Jue left behind a few little eunuchs who were waiting with him, and went straight into the Moon Shadow Palace, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, he heard Su Yang's voice coming from inside the house.

"No, although this medicinal diet is a great tonic, if it is used by a weak person, it will only be weakened and will not be replenished, and it will hurt the vitality, so it can't be used, so change it!"

"Mother, look at this ...... again"

He glanced inside, and saw Su Yang sitting in front of the desk in a thin dress, the window was still half-open, looking at the recipe seriously, and a pair of willow eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, which made people feel a little cute.

"Hmph, this woman, I don't know how to wear more on such a cold day. ”

Murong Jue couldn't help but provoke.

"Imperial ......"

"Shh

Ruo'er came out with Su Yang and used the remaining waste paper, and happened to see Murong Jue standing at the door, and was about to call him, but was stopped by Murong Jue.

"I'm going to go first, don't make a noise. ”

"Yes......"

As he spoke, Murong Jue took advantage of the gap between Mingyu next to Su Yang and tiptoed into the Moon Shadow Palace, took a large coat from the hanger and put it on Su Yang, and reached out to close the window.
