The snowflakes are fluttering, the north wind is bleak, and the sky and the earth are vast.

Before you know it, winter has arrived.

In the Chu Palace, it was still so orderly.

Xiong Yan's illness was almost better, but because he was lazy, he deliberately pretended and delayed, complained of pain and pain, hid in the harem, and still pressed the queen behind the throne to listen to the government, living comfortably and with peace of mind.

Wu Yunzhao was very satisfied with Xiong Yan's acquaintance, and he was happy to take on heavy burdens, and his ability to handle state affairs became stronger and stronger.

For a long time, the courtiers have been accustomed to the woman behind the bead curtain, and occasionally whispered, wanting to support the society and straighten up the court, but they didn't dare to stand up and drive people down, and they have been patient.

On this day, in the midst of the court meeting, the urgent news came again, and a very happy good thing came ---- all the lost cities were recovered.

Above the court, everyone was happy, feeling that the snow outside was continuous, and the continuous snow had become the icing on the cake, white and beautiful.

People are in good spirits at happy events, and then the resolution of various issues becomes much smoother.

After the court meeting, Wu Yunzhao rarely let go of political affairs, and suddenly had the interest of appreciating the snow, put on a white mink fur, and walked to Luomei Garden.

The plum garden is full of red plums, and before it gets closer, the fragrance has already come to the face.

The snow is falling all the time. The red plum and white snow are as bright as the sun, but they are fresh and refined.

Wu Yunzhao walked between the plum trees, stood on tiptoe, approached the tender yellow stamen with the tip of his nose, and said with a smile: "It's so good!" He took a few more steps forward, raised his hand, and gently wiped the blooming flowers with his onion-like fingers, stained with the fresh air on his head, and then traced his slender eyebrows, to the left and to the right, and couldn't tell why he did it, strange, funny, and boring.

Xiaoshun kept holding his arm, let Wu Yunzhao hold it, and said: "Niangniang, if you like it, the slave will fold a few sticks and insert bottles for you and put them in front of the dressing table." ”

Wu Yunzhao shook his head and said with a smile: "No need, the flowers are good to bloom, they are still lively on the branches, if you pick them off, they will wilt in a day, and it will be annoying to watch." Let's go and sit in the pavilion, let's have lunch here, and get some hot soup. Hongu is lazy today and doesn't care about anything. By the way, don't forget to have a jug of wine. ”

Xiao Shun said: "Yes, Niangniang." Oops, Niangniang finally remembered to care about herself, it's not easy. ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "Just you can speak." He kicked his snow-stained shoes on the threshold, shook off the snow floating on his head, and walked into Wangmei Pavilion.

Rakumeien is a place dedicated to planting plum trees, and Wangmei Pavilion is a place dedicated to cherry blossoms. In normal times, no one comes except for the palace people and craftsmen who clean the palace and prune the flowers and trees. The pavilion was empty and deserted.

Xiao Shun said: "Niangniang, do you want to be downstairs or upstairs?" ”

Wu Yunzhao turned his head and glanced out, and said, "Upstairs, take a look at the panorama." ”

Xiaoshun helped Wu Yunzhao upstairs, and then hurriedly ordered charcoal basins, hand stoves, etc., to surround Wu Yunzhao's side, and after going in and out a few times, he still broke a branch of plum blossoms and brought them up.

Wu Yunzhao leaned on the railing, stretched out two fingers, clamped the flower branches, made a circle in the air, put it under his nose and sniffed, and said with a smile: "Xiaoshun, your mind is very fine, and you are clever enough!" ”

Xiaoshun smiled: "Xie Niangniang praises." There is a heart to guide Wu Yunzhao to show off his literary talents, and said: "Niangniang, there are poems about plum blossoms, you can chant two sentences, so that the slaves can also learn." ”

Wu Yunzhao gently bit the plum petal and muttered, "Plum blossom? Plum blossom. After thinking about it, a cold wind blew and said, "Yes, listen well." He pointed to the flower branch and said: "Thousands of plum branches are falling, still affectionate, and the snow turns with the wind." ”

This is the phrase in Feng Yansi's "Magpie Stepping on Branches", there is no here, fortunately, Xiaoshun has not read much, does not understand anything, and does not pursue it, just asks for a good sound, and flatters by the way.

He looked down along the trembling plum branches, but saw the scattered red plum petals, with the help of the wind, swirling and falling snow mixed in the air, up and down, really "learning snow with the wind." He said, "This verse is so good, it is appropriate for the occasion." Mother, is there anything else? ”

Wu Yunzhao thought about it again, and said: "The jade bone is a melancholy mist, and the ice posture has its own ••••••" Before the word "fairy wind" was exported, he saw a guard hurriedly walk into Merlin from outside, and said with a smile: "The fairy wind has not blown yet, and the green-haired phoenix has arrived in advance." ”

Xiao Shun didn't understand, looked at the guard below blankly, and said in his heart: "This guard is wearing a red cloak, how can it be a green-haired phoenix?" Where's the green? ”

The sentence "The jade bone is sad and misty, and the ice posture has its own fairy wind" is from Su Shi's "Xijiang Moon", of course Xiaoshun doesn't know, and the following sentence is "When the sea fairy is sent to explore Fang Cong." Hanging upside down the green-haired phoenix".

Among them, the jade bone ice posture refers to the plum blossom. The previous sentence said that plum blossoms grow in places where miasma is severe, because they have ice-like bodies and fairy-like winds, and they are not afraid of the invasion of miasma and stand proudly. The latter sentence is to say that the sea immortals saw the plum blossoms in such a posture, very envious, often sent messengers to visit the flowers, and this messenger is a green bird, named upside down, the legend is from the Penglai Palace.

Wu Yunzhao saw that the guard crashed into the plum blossom bush and acted quickly, so he gave him the title of "Green Phoenix", which also complemented each other.
