After a short time, Ruoyin followed He Zhongkang to a spacious ice surface in the Taiye Pool.

And in the middle of it, there was an igloo with bright yellow satin hanging from the door.

The igloo is surrounded by well-dressed royal guards.

When he arrived at the door, He Zhongkang made a "please" gesture towards Ruoyin: "Niangniang, please come in." ”

Ruoyin bowed slightly, and entered the house with the soup woman in his hand.

And the minions around her are naturally waiting outside.

After entering the house, Ruoyin saw the fourth master sitting by the window.

He wore a bright yellow brocade robe and a dark mink cloak over it.

The eyes are looking out the window, leaving her with a handsome side face.

"Your Majesty." She whispered.

Hearing this voice, the fourth master looked back and saw that the woman was wearing a carmine skirt with plum blossoms embroidered on it.

The snow-white fox fur collar makes her swan neck more and more elegant.

Not only that, but she also wears a snow-white fox fur hat.

Hide that delicate and good-looking face in a hat, which makes it even more small, and it is really cute when you look at it.

"You're here." The moment he saw her, the corners of the fourth master's mouth involuntarily rose.

Then he got up, took her by the window, and continued to look out the window.

Ruoyin held the soup woman and followed his line of sight to look out the window.

She hadn't paid much attention to it when she was outside.

Now that I sit here, I know that this place is geographically high.

Just by sitting by the window, you can look down on the surroundings of the pool.

Outside the window, the snow was falling, and it was white, like layers of snow-white cream.

It gives people a cool and pure feeling.

And the goose feather snow filtered the entire line of sight, vague and a little mysterious.

Those who came to participate in the ice frolic were all wrapped in thick cotton jackets, fluffy hats, and woolen gloves.

Even the neck is tightly covered with a high fur collar.

At this moment, Ruoyin felt strange when she saw everything.

She looked around the igloo curiously again.

It was found that the roof and walls were carved with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes.

Look at the sparrow, although it is small, it has all kinds of organs.

There is a large crystal clear icicle in the house.

A table, and a semi-round table.

There are also two rose chairs, and a wooden stone for clothes.

The main thing is that there is a large ice bed in the middle.

The bedposts of the ice bed, as well as the top of the bed, are carved with a five-clawed green dragon.

Even the bed legs, handguards, and bed skirts are carved with four- or three-clawed green dragons, which look luxurious and shocking.

And, looking at the lifelike appearance, you know that this carving is first-class.

The bed is covered with a thick bright yellow mattress and brocade quilt.

There are two reindeer skins and two silk pillows on the brocade quilt.

In the four corners of the house, there are also several beautiful ice sculpture hibiscus lanterns, which set off the already crystal clear igloo even more transparently.

Just as Ruoyin was admiring the environment in the house, he heard a lively sound outside.

She turned her head to look, only to see the fourth master making a gesture through the window.

Then, outside the window, there was a long queue, neatly arranged.

I saw them skating on the ice, posing for various items such as scorpions, golden rooster independence, Nezha and the sea, double flying swallows, jack pendants, dragonflies dotting water, purple swallows piercing waves, and phoenixes spreading their wings.

Not only that, there are also thousands of soldiers dressed in military uniforms, climbing poles, turning poles, flying forks, juggling knives, making sticks, making flags, stacking arhats, and various military training skating and archery actions.

Whenever a project performance is completed, the fourth master will say "reward".

After that, the steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will distribute the rewards that have been prepared in advance.

Ruoyin didn't care, just dragged her chin and watched the wonderful performance outside.

He couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, our Qing Dynasty still has this kind of army on ice, it's really powerful." ”

"That's it." The fourth master looked outside and said in a deep voice: "Because we have lived in extremely cold places for a long time, skating and skiing in the ice and snow have become necessary skills, and when Qing Taizu was in power, the soldiers used this skill to organize and train a "special ice team" that was good at skating to rescue Qing Taizu who was trapped in the war. ”

Ruoyin nodded confusedly, looked out the window with half-squinted eyes, and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, what kind of shoes are they wearing?" ”

"It's called Ula Slipper, and it's a shoe that is tied to the feet with animal bones, and there are also shoes with iron bars embedded in the soles." As he spoke, the fourth master pointed to a group of blue teams in the distance and said, "That's our Qing Dynasty's Skilled Ice Battalion, which is a specialized ice skating unit in the Qing army." ”

"That's amazing." No matter what the fourth master said, Ruoyin nodded, his eyes full of surprise and admiration.

And her humble request for advice is a good way to satisfy the fourth master's machismo mentality.

As a result, he began to talk to her endlessly.

From Keju on the ice、Speaking of double-flying。

In fact, the pair of flying dances, just like the current figure skating, can cultivate the tacit understanding of soldiers and improve their sensitivity.

Just as Ruoyin was chatting with the fourth master, he heard the sound of the cannon for the start of the game in the distance.

Then there were a lot of men, from the opposite ice rink, galloping towards Ruoyin and the fourth master.

When they arrived at the ice bed, the imperial guards stopped them and divided them into ranks.

Then, the fourth master rewarded the top nine skaters with the fastest speed.

Immediately afterwards, Ruoyin watched the shooting ball and the dragon shooting competition.

In the end, those who have performed all come together to stage the final group drill.

They have different postures and show their own skills, forming a winding and circling dragon, clustering Ruoyin and the ice bed of the fourth master in the center.

Such a uniform performance made the originally cold winter full of vitality.

When the final performance was over, a woman in a big red jacket and skirt stood in the middle and said something.

But because it was too far away, Ruoyin didn't understand.

But soon, Su Peisheng's voice sounded outside the window: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess of Yu Nanguo, said that there was a show to perform, and said that after the performance, she would compete with our people in skating speed." ”

"Let her perform first, and someone will naturally fight with her at that time." The fourth master seems to have expected it a long time ago.

"Huh." After Su Peisheng responded, he went to pass the word.

After a while, the eldest princess took off the red cloak she was wearing and wore only a thin skirt.

Ruoyin saw her tiptoes lightly on her toes from a distance through the ice window, landing like goose feathers and snow.

Her slender legs dance on the mirror-smooth ice.

The bright red skirt glowed brightly with her movements.

makes the eldest princess, who is already excellent, look dazzling and charming.

The elegant swan neck is even more raised.

Charming and deep eyes are smiling lightly.
