Chapter 47: Bullying
Before the hour came, the snow outside the window was getting heavier.
There are some fireworks that can be seen in the distance, and although it is not possible to hear the sound, it is still extremely beautiful when viewed from such a distance.
Gu Qinghuan liked the Chinese New Year the most when he was a child.
Especially when fireworks are not yet controlled, she likes to watch them.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, I sat in the yard and watched the fireworks above my head for a long time.
"It's so beautiful." Yaqi also whispered in Gu Qinghuan's ear.
This year, because of the death of Empress Xiaoyi, these are not allowed to be set off in the palace. There was a rare silence.
"Hmm." Gu Qinghuan responded lightly, and quietly pointed to the two people above.
Aunt Yuehua was already very sleepy and was holding her head.
Yin Zhen didn't look expressionless on his face, occasionally took a sip of tea, and didn't eat snacks.
He drank so much tea that he didn't have to go to the toilet?
After such an unreliable thought suddenly flashed in Gu Qinghuan's head, he looked at Yinzhen a little strangely.
Yinzhen was rubbing the rim of the teacup, about to yawn. Coincidentally, he noticed the gaze of the little palace maid not far away.
What does she see herself doing?
Yin Zhen hurriedly restrained his action of yawning, put down the teacup instead, and glanced in the direction of Gu Qinghuan.
Looking at each other, Gu Qinghuan suddenly chuckled in his heart.
It's over, it's been discovered.
Gu Qinghuan hurriedly coughed lightly and took his gaze back.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't think you mean anything.
Yin Zhen was silent for a moment, and always felt that when Gu Qinghuan withdrew his gaze, a trace of disgust flashed out of nowhere.
The time came soon.
Gu Qinghuan and Yaqi, who were full of food and drink, leaned together, and the two of them looked at the fireworks outside the window.
Looking at it, the fireworks in front of me gradually blurred, and the eyelids were too heavy to fall asleep.
Yin Zhen looked at the room full of sleepy people, and couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
Speaking of which, there is really nothing good about the custom of keeping the New Year.
In the past, when the emperor was still there, the two of them and Aunt Yuehua chatted and ate something together.
Right now...
Yin Zhen shifted his gaze to the little palace maid who was pecking rice not far away.
Looking at such an interesting little palace maid, he seemed to be in a much better mood.
A moment later, the bell rang.
The prelude to Kangxi's twenty-nine years kicked off at this moment.
"Huh?"
Accompanied by the ringing bells, there were some cheers. Those voices were far, far away, as if they were coming from outside the palace. Immediately after, there was the sound of firecrackers one after another.
Although the palace is not allowed to announce this year, the people outside the palace will inevitably welcome the arrival of the new year happily.
Gu Qinghuan hummed softly and woke up.
"Look."
Gu Qinghuan pulled Yaqi, and suddenly the two little palace maids got up together, went to the window, and looked at the fireworks in the distance.
"It's a new year."
Aunt Yuehua also turned from confusion to soberness at this moment, glanced at the fireworks outside the window, and said to Yinzhen: "The new year is the beginning of a new year." ”
"The queen mother is in the spirit of the sky, and she is always looking forward to the fourth elder brother, you looking forward."
Others may not know.
Aunt Yuehua knew that under Yinzhen's seemingly calm face, she still had a lot of worries about the deceased Queen Xiaoyi in her heart.
"Auntie, I understand."
Yin Zhen bowed his head and said to Mama Zhuang: "It's not early, take my aunt down to rest." ”
"Yes." Mama Zhuang responded, so she went to Aunt Yuehua.
Gu Qinghuan and Yaqi, who were not far away, noticed the movement here, and also hurried over to follow Mama Zhuang to send Aunt Yuehua back to rest.
Yinzhen stopped in advance.
"You two are too sleepy, so let's go back and rest early."
Yin Zhen flattened his mouth, didn't look at the two, and said: "Hazelnuts have eaten a lot, and it is inevitable that you will be thirsty, go back and drink more water." You don't have to wait tomorrow morning, just sleep a little longer. ”
"Yes!"
Gu Qinghuan and Yaqi seemed to have rarely seen Yinzhen say so many words, and there was care between the words.
After happily responding, he said: "I wish the fourth elder brother a good luck and good luck in the new year, and everything goes well." ”
Yin Zhen didn't answer, and saw the two little palace maids holding hands and leaving the house.
Outside the window, the snow was blowing, and their backs looked lively. For this snowy night, it also adds a bit of different bright colors.
The next day, Gu Qinghuan was awakened by the sunlight outside the window.
Looking at the sky, it was almost the time when I arrived.
After a night of snow, it was a rare day to get a lot of sun this morning. Just looking out of the window like this, it's a bit dazzling.
Yaqi was still asleep.
I slept hazy and turned around.
Gu Qinghuan tiptoed up to finish washing up, and quietly went out.
At the door, Ah Shuang was sweeping the snow on the ground.
The snow was a bit heavy last night, so Ah Shuang swept the snow off the road. If you pile it high, you can get a snowman out.
"Sister Qinghuan is awake."
Ah Shuang watched Gu Qinghuan come out of the house, and said, "Today, the imperial dining room sent dumplings, and there are also wine-stuffed meatballs." ”
"I'll leave one for you and Sister Yaqi, if my sister is hungry, go eat it."
"What about you?"
Gu Qinghuan asked, "So early, have you eaten?" Didn't the fourth elder brother say that you can rest and rest today, are you still clearing the snow here? ”
Ah Shuang smiled shyly, and said with some embarrassment: "I have eaten two wowotou." Someone has to do the snow removal work. ”
"If the masters want to go out, how can there be snow on the road?"
Gu Qinghuan glanced at the huge courtyard.
It was very empty, and Ah Shuang was alone.
"Someone has to do it, but why are you alone?" Gu Qinghuan frowned and asked, "It's the other people who are lazy, that's why you came to clear the snow?" ”
Ah Shuang just entered the palace last year.
But at the age of ten years, he has a gentle temperament.
But she looks very cute, like a doll. In the eyes of some people, it belongs to the kind of bullies.
"Sister Qinghuan..."
Ah Shuang seemed to see that Gu Qinghuan was a little unhappy, so she hurriedly said, "I want to come by myself." Eating and moving activities should also be. ”
"I see."
Gu Qinghuan silently agreed, and went to the place where the palace maids were eating.
In the room, some of the commotion could be heard before you got closer.
It's like they're talking about something happy.
"I got a reward of one or two pieces of silver from Aunt Yuehua today. It's finally a good year this year, and it would be nice if I could live so comfortably all the time. ”
"Isn't it? It's rare that we don't have to work, so it's time for us to rest and rest. I don't know if Ah Shuang's dead girl finished sweeping the snow. It's all this hour, if the fourth elder brother goes out and finds out later..."
"When she found out, she found out that it was also an errand she took on herself, can she blame us?"
Gu Qinghuan stood outside the door, took advantage of the situation, and knocked on the door.
