Chapter 166: Sudden Heavy Snowfall
Qin Zhao said while eating the fragrant roasted bamboo rat: "I never knew that this kind of thing could be eaten, and in a few days, I asked the people in the city to catch some, and it won't be so difficult to come this winter." ”
Lu Qingjin tore off a piece of the flesh of his hind leg and handed it to Qinglan, who had been getting worse and worse recently: "This is a solution, but I think it looks like there is going to be heavy snow recently, you better let people be careful!" ”
Although the capital is not a remote and extremely cold place, there is a lot of snow all year round, so Qin Zhao didn't pay much attention to it, but glanced at Qinglan who was quietly eating meat on the side.
The two of them had almost eaten, and Qin Zhao left, and Qinglan muttered while making the bed for Lu Qingjin: "You are both queens, why haven't you had a round room with the emperor yet!" If Concubine Li and the others still have a glimmer of hope of leaving the palace, you are sure that you must stay in the palace, why insist on it! ”
Lu Qingjin stretched out his hand and looked at the corn seeds at the head of the bed, and was stunned when he heard the words before he said: "I don't count this kind of thing myself, besides, I and the emperor are just partners now, let's talk about the rest later!" ”
Qinglan didn't say much when she heard this, Qin Zhao outside the door wrapped the cloak on his body and left with a gloomy face, Xiao Fuzi said while holding an umbrella to cover the snow: "Don't take it to heart, who doesn't know that the queen mother has a hard mouth and a soft heart, I think I'm embarrassed to say it before I find an excuse!" ”
Qin Zhao looked at the snow that didn't know when it was falling silently, the creaking sound of his boots stepping on the snow was endless, Xiao Fuzi didn't dare to speak, and after a while, Qin Zhao said coldly: "Didn't you say that Princess Wei was going to plan something in the palace?" You can just push the boat with the current, and don't worry about the rest. ”
Xiao Fuzi shivered and whispered: "But the princess is going to drug you, and you said yesterday that this kind of thing can't be contaminated if it's not dry." ”
Qin Zhao glanced at him coldly, Xiao Fuzi closed his mouth in amusement, and the lights in the imperial study were lit until midnight when no one knew.
In the early morning, Lu Qingjin was still asleep in the cold air, when he heard the creaking sound in the yard, Lu Qingjin stretched out his hand and opened the curtain on the bed: "Qinglan!" What's going on in the yard? ”
When she finished shouting this sentence, she found that the room was cold, and the corn seeds she picked last night at the bedside had a thin layer of ice ballast on them, Lu Qingjin didn't care about anything else, and put the cloth bag in the quilt, and the cold air froze her.
Qinglan reluctantly pushed open the door at this time, the snow outside the door fell into the house, Qinglan quickly closed the door and rubbed her hands and said helplessly: "Niangniang still don't get up, the slave will come over with a brazier to roast in a while!" ”
Lu Qingjin nodded subconsciously, and when he saw Qinglan's red hand, he asked again: "I see that it is not cold like this!" What's going on out there? ”
Qinglan came over and tucked the corner of the quilt for her: "It snowed last night, and the temperature was even lower and terrible, and many palace people who were keeping vigil in the palace had frozen accidents, and now the rest of the people are clearing the snow in the courtyard!" The slave and maid will not be able to stop for a while when they see the snow. ”
Lu Qingjin's heart sank, although she had long known that the Ice Age was coming, but she really didn't expect the impact to be so great, she held Qinglan's red hand and sighed: "You tell the people outside to rest!" Let's make all parts of our palace warm up first, and then talk about the rest, but we can't have any more accidents. ”
Qinglan agreed, let go of her hand and went out, and after a while, there was a burst of cheers in the courtyard, Lu Qingjin smiled helplessly, thinking that they were really children! She lowered her head and looked at the corn seeds in the quilt, many of the seeds on the original skin had turned black after the ice ballast on the skin, and she couldn't ask for it when she saw it, Lu Qingjin sighed and left the bag of seeds, and threw the rest on the table.
Qinglan brought over a brazier after a while, the coal in it was burned red, and the room was a lot warmer all of a sudden, Lu Qingjin got up and cleaned up after all, the greenhouse was far from being so strong.
Qinglan hurriedly stopped her: "Niangniang, don't go yet, now that many roads in the palace are blocked, even if you go out of the palace gate, it will be difficult to move an inch." ”
Lu Qingjin's heart sank suddenly, she didn't know what the situation was in the shack, but it was difficult to have good results in such weather, it would be good if the snow melted, thinking of this, she suddenly felt excited.
Qinglan looked at her worriedly, pulled the clothes on her body and asked, "Niangniang, do you still feel cold!" Go back to the palace and stay there! After a while, when the road cleared, I went to the greenhouse to have a look. ”
Lu Qingjin didn't have time to speak and hurriedly came to the kitchen, along the way the snow water flowed all the way down the boots that were not too high, Lu Qingjin gritted his teeth and didn't speak, the things in the kitchen were quite complete, Lu Qingjin took a small dustpan with ice ballast and mixed salt, pepper and various incense powders together.
Although Qinglan didn't quite understand what this was for, but with the trust of these days, she still took it, Lu Qingjin opened the door and tentatively went out, and the snow outside the door melted a lot after a while, Qinglan's eyes widened and said incredulously: "What is this?" I've never heard of anything so magical. ”
Lu Qingjin didn't know if it would work, and he was very relieved to see the effect: "Now that it's there, you take someone to the palace to help clear the snow, and by the way, give the formula to Concubine Li, and now I don't know what to do in the capital!" Be quick! ”
Qinglan agreed and ran away quickly, Lu Qingjin looked at her back and felt a little clumsy inexplicably, but thinking that he didn't know what kind of greenhouse he didn't know, he didn't have time to think about anything else.
Along the way, there were palace people holding medicinal powder to melt snow, and many of them were still sweeping water in order to prevent the melted snow from freezing, Lu Qingjin came to the greenhouse with a solemn expression, and what was surprising was that almost the top of the greenhouse was buried by snow, but it was vaguely visible that it was intact inside.
Several little eunuchs were working together to clear the snow on the glass, Lu Qingjin walked over and handed them the medicinal powder, opened the door of the greenhouse and walked in, the hot air on his face made Lu Qingjin cough twice, and the little eunuch heard the voice and hurriedly ran over: "I was afraid that the snow would collapse here last night, and the slaves burned coal vigorously, but fortunately they caught up, but there is a layer of ice outside the glass, I'm afraid it's not easy to clean up." ”
