In mid-November, it finally snowed in the capital.

The sky is full of Qiongfang jade catkins, one after another, falling all over the city.

As soon as the snow stopped, under the leadership of the Pingwang Mansion, the Kangwang Mansion and other clans, the magnates in the capital launched a lively clothing and porridge giving activity.

Chaofang Palace was very busy.

Monks eat hundreds of meals, and they don't have to pay taxes, so of course, they have to bother to contribute and work hard to maintain their sense of existence.

A load of old clothes donated by believers was picked out and lined up.

The soup kitchen was set up early, and the pots and pans were arranged.

Even the eldest princess came out to appear, and Ji Yun naturally came to help.

In the afternoon, there were fewer people, and everyone took turns to eat.

Chi Yun sat in the shed with the eldest princess, with only porridge and side dishes in front of her.

The eldest princess took a few bites and sighed: "There are a lot of victims who have been affected by the cold this year!" ”

The capital is the most glamorous place in the entire empire, although there will inevitably be poor people, but all kinds of benefits are relatively complete, and there are not many people who are really poor.

However, this year, there are significantly more people coming to the soup kitchen than in previous years.

"Listening to their accents, there are a lot of out-of-towners." Chi Yun said, "This year, Hexi has a poor harvest, and there are many displaced people. ”

The eldest princess nodded, full of worry: "Natural disasters are frequent, and accidents are easy to happen!" ”

There was a voice from outside: "Lord Lou, why are you here?" ”

Then I heard him reply, "Come and see." ”

Chi Yun turned around and saw Lou Yan walking in slowly.

Probably the weather was cold, and his face became more and more pale, lined with a faint flush, and he didn't look like a real person at all.

"Your Highness." He saluted the eldest princess.

The eldest princess smiled: "The affairs of the yamen are done?" ”

Lou Yan said: "On the orders of Your Majesty, let's take a look at the disaster after the snow. ”

The eldest princess looked a little helpless: "It's hard for him to remember." ”

But he knew in his heart that this was mostly reminded by Lou Yan himself.

"Sit down, I'll go and see if all the old clothes have been given away."

"Your Highness."

Chi Yun went out and poured a bowl of hot tea: "Warm up." ”

Lou Yan answered, holding a teacup to warm his hands.

The two gossiped a few words, and he lowered his voice: "Big brother can't go." ”

Chi Yun frowned: "What?" Someone won't let him go? ”

Lou Yan shook his head: "It's snowing, and the road is blocked." ”

Chi Yun frowned at this time and asked, "Is Beixiang okay?" ”

"It's okay, there are several uncles of mine, as well as the second brother and the third brother, and now they can all afford the burden."

After a few words, he stopped.

Suddenly, I heard a commotion outside, and many victims rushed over. Even some civilians, who were fairly well-dressed, followed suit.

"What's going on?"

The two got up and went out of the porridge shed to see that everyone was surrounding a car, and there were several women in palace clothes standing next to the car, and there were officials to maintain order.

Hanyu loves to join in the fun, and immediately said, "I'll go and see." ”

After a while, she came back after inquiring about the matter and said, "Senior sister, it is a few ladies in the palace who asked the imperial dining room to make snacks and send them." ”

Chi Yun looked at Lou Yan, but saw that his face was not very good-looking.

The official over there shouted: "Don't crowd, don't crowd, line up." Take it and go, don't delay others. ”

The people who had received the snacks passed by the porridge shed happily.

"This is a dim sum in the palace? It's so pretty! I don't want to eat. ”

"The queen is really benevolent and benevolent."

"There is also the Jade Concubine Niangniang, I heard that the dumplings are filled with medicinal herbs, which are the recipes offered by the Jade Concubine Niangniang, and eating them can drive away the cold, so there will be fewer people with frostbite."

"The Jade Concubine is compassionate and heartfelt, and there will definitely be a good reward."

The word spread quickly.

"Concubine Yu, is it Mr. Yuheng's granddaughter?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Three years ago, Mr. Yuheng suffered misfortune, and His Majesty took Niangniang into the palace and named him the Jade Concubine. ”

"But I listened to it before, and the Jade Concubine doesn't seem to have a good reputation......"

The man glanced left and right, and said, "Bah": "Isn't it because Your Majesty likes Niangniang, so someone deliberately slandered him?" What's the matter......

"Yes, Concubine Yu is such a kind woman, I heard that she is also very talented, it is strange that Your Majesty doesn't like it."

Those snacks were quickly distributed, and the palace people returned to the palace under the escort of the officials.

Chi Yun said hello to the eldest princess and walked back with Lou Yan.

The snow has not yet melted, and there are few pedestrians on the road.

The two walked silently for a long time, and Chi Yun said: "I didn't expect that after a fall, her ambition was hooked." ”

Lou Yan said lightly: "I'm afraid this ambition has always existed, but I overestimated myself before, thinking that I could be like Yu Chonghua, I didn't have to do anything, and I got everything." ”

Ji Yun just wanted to laugh.

Yu Chonghua doesn't have to do anything because she has been doing it.

Did that knowledge come out of nowhere? Those who learn martial arts also pay attention to practicing three nines in winter and three dogs in summer.

She doesn't need the imperial examination, she still gets up early every day to study, and she studies diligently.

Do you really think that just by looking good, you can make King Yi'an fall in love?

Chi Yun recalled that he always felt that Jinse was very familiar with him before, but now that he thinks about it, he is busy reading every day, and he doesn't have much time to communicate with her.

She couldn't help but ask, "Is Jinse really such a person?" ”

Lou Yan looked back at her: "Which one do you mean?" Low self-esteem, sensitivity, greed? Then I'm afraid I'm going to tell you, yes. ”

Chi Yun was puzzled: "Why do you seem to know her very well?" ”

Lou Yan smiled: "The bystanders are clear." You grew up with her, and there are some things that you don't notice. Why do you think she gave up reading? Because no matter how much you learn, you can't be as good as you! ”

Chi Yun was stunned: "Is that so?" ”

The two walked slowly along the steps of the snow sleet road, and Lou Yan said, "When I arrived at the Endless Sea Pavilion, you were only twelve or thirteen years old. You have finished learning the scriptures and meanings, and you read all kinds of ancient and modern treatises every day, and if you catch something you don't understand, you will pestering your husband to ask to the end. At that time, Jin Se was still studying with you, but she couldn't even memorize the Five Classics, and she couldn't get into the topics you discussed with her husband at all. ”

She has an impression of this. But......

"That's because she's not interested, right? I see that she writes her homework every day, and she puts it off until the end, and she ......"

"Same as Your Majesty." Lou Yan couldn't help but laugh, "If you think about it, they are also a natural pair." ”

Ji Yun tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Lou Yan continued: "One year, on the Chinese Valentine's Day, we went outside to see the lights. She liked a beautiful lamp very much, but she couldn't guess the puzzle. You answer the riddle of the whole stall and win the lantern for her. The next day, the light was gone, what did she say to you? ”

Ji Yun thought for a moment: "It seems to mean that she accidentally fell down and burned out." Seeing that she was very sad, I asked someone to buy tools and made a few of them myself. ”

"I came back late that day, and I saw her standing by the pond, and the lamp was actually burning herself." Lou Yan lowered his eyes and looked at her, "Since then, she hasn't studied with you anymore, has she?" ”
