Chapter 343: Frolicking in the Snow
After the stability of the dynasty, Emperor Yong'an is like ten years old, and his old age will appear.
King Ning and the second prince, the two adult princes, had accidents one after another, which made Emperor Yong'an exhausted.
On the sixth day of the 11th month of the 10th year of Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an fell ill again. The difference is that this time Emperor Yongan is really sick and is no longer pretending.
Lingxi ran more and more diligently to the Zichen Palace, and took care of Emperor Yong'an's food, clothing, housing and transportation in every detail.
When Lingxi was busy bringing a cup of ginseng bird's nest stewed by himself to Emperor Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an chuckled, "You are busy with the affairs of the harem every day, and these little things will be handed over to the palace maids." ”
Lingxi was wearing the lightest palace clothes, and the hairpin on his head was the simplest beaded flower. The rouge is not pointed, but the red lips are still rosy.
She put an embroidered pillow behind Emperor Yong'an, so that Emperor Yong'an snuggled on it, Ying Ying smiled, "The emperor's business, how can there be a trivial matter?" The concubines are idle, and they can't be tired of doing this. ”
As he spoke, he scooped up the bird's nest in the white jade bowl, blew it cold, and sent it to the mouth of Emperor Yong'an.
Emperor Yong'an held Lingxi's hand and sucked deeply. After swallowing, he smiled at Lingxi, "It's better than the cook's ......."
Emperor Yong'an drank all the bird's nest and lay down to rest, and then Lingxi went to the inner hall to deal with the affairs of the harem. It is always guaranteed that after Emperor Yong'an wakes up, she can appear in Emperor Yong'an's line of sight.
The days came to the end of November in this bland and warm atmosphere of Yong'an ten years, and it was already a habit for Lingxi to go to the Zichen Hall at this time.
Sometimes Emperor Yong'an has not yet come to the early dynasty, and she is already sitting in the inner hall of the Zichen Hall to deal with the affairs of the harem. When Emperor Yong'an finished dealing with the affairs of the court and China in the study, she accompanied Emperor Yong'an to have lunch in the Zichen Palace.
After lunch, Lingxi went back to Yongshou Palace, either to accompany his five children, or to chat with Xiao and the Empress Dowager. As for where Emperor Yong'an went, which concubine he summoned, and which palace he stayed in, she never asked.
In a blink of an eye, on the third day of December, filial piety and the Empress Dowager are thousands of years.
Compared with last year, the body of the Empress Dowager Xiaohe is getting older and older. After accepting the former pilgrimage, she showed her face at the palace banquet in the Baohe Hall and went back to rest.
On the fourth day of the twelfth month of the tenth year of Yong'an, heavy snow fell like goose feathers above the imperial city.
The heavy snow fell one after another, falling on the pink walls and green tiles, which was very beautiful.
Lingxi looked happy, and did not go to the Zichen Hall to wait for Emperor Yong'an to go down as usual, but took the five princesses and the five princes to build snowmen and have snowball fights outside the Changle Palace.
One big and two small, play in the snow as cheerful as you want.
Xiao and the Empress Dowager sat on the low kang in the inner hall, and watched them have fun through the window and smiled without disturbing their mouths.
Xiao and the Empress Dowager played with a string of jade Buddha beads in their hands, and said to Zhiyue, who was sitting on the small table and rubbing her legs, "She will never be the same as she grows up, she is the mother of five children, and she is still so playful." ”
"The Empress Dowager, Concubine Ye has been working hard for two months for the things in the palace." Zhiyue also smiled happily, "Now that I have caught the opportunity, I naturally want to have a good time." ”
In the courtyard of the Changle Palace, Lingxi was knocked down by the five princesses and the five princes, and the three of them fell into the snow, causing bursts of laughter.
The fifth princess lay on Lingxi's body and said with a smile, "Mother, Mu'er likes snow." It was white, soft and icy, and when held in the hand, it was like fine cane sugar. ”
Lingxi reached out and pinched the fifth princess's small nose, and laughed, "Mu'er, do you like snow or food?" ”
"I love to eat!" The fifth prince lay on Lingxi's lap and solemnly answered, "The fifth emperor sister likes to eat, she ate a plate of honey cakes before dinner yesterday, and then she ate it at dinner...... Hmmm......"
Before the words of the fifth prince were finished, they were already blocked by the fifth princess with tender white new snow.
The five princesses achieved their goal, and before the five princes could react, they got up and giggled and ran into the distance. The fifth prince got up from the ground, clenched his two small fists, and chased after him.
The Fifth Emperor said as he ran, "Xia Tong, help me hold the Fifth Emperor Sister." ”
Xia Tong, as a minion, how dare he stop the fifth princess. Just thinking that the dumb slave had already jumped into the snow, he threw Xia Tong into the snow.
Looking at the mischievous smile on the dumb slave's face and the smugness flashing in his eyes, Xia Tong laughed and shouted to the five princes, "Five princes, the slave can't move. ”
As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into the collar of the dumb slave, and started a scuffle with the dumb slave in the snow.
"Look, look." Xiao and the Empress Dowager laughed in the inner hall, "She is a little monkey who is no different, the children born and the slaves she teaches are all like monkeys, making a lot of noise!" ”
Lingxi was having a good time with a group of people in the snow, and Emperor Yong'an came with Gonggong Feng.
Looking at the few people in the snow who were mixed with snow, Emperor Yongan said loudly, "With such a big snow, you are not afraid of catching a cold." ”
Lingxi was dodging the snowball thrown by the fifth princess, and when she heard the voice of Emperor Yong'an, she didn't say goodbye, and replied with a smile, "The concubine is not cold, she is already sweating from playing...... Yikes......"
In a trance, the snowball of the five princes smashed on Lingxi's back. Lingxi reflexively threw himself at the five princes, pressed the five princes in the snow, and said to the five princesses who had just been her 'enemy' in the distance, "Mu'er, hurry, my mother has caught your fifth emperor brother." ”
The fifth princess ran over with a smile, stretched out her little hand and wanted to stretch it into the clothes of the fifth prince.
The Fifth Emperor shouted, "Fifth Emperor Sister, didn't you say that we are a group, we are a group!" ”
"Let's come along." Lingxi stretched out his hand to grab the fifth princess, and also pressed it into the snow, laughing until he had no strength, "Mother bullies the small with the big, you bully the small with the more, the fair is very, the fair is very fair." ”
Emperor Yong'an stood in the snow and looked at it with a smile for a while, then stepped into the Changle Palace.
In the Changle Palace, Zhiqiu had prepared a tea cup for Emperor Yong'an.
After Emperor Yong'an finished greeting Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager, he sat on the low kang and looked at the mother and son outside the hall and smiled.
The Empress Dowager Xiaohe turned around and smiled at Emperor Yong'an, "Seeing her making a fuss outside for a while, the mourning family feels that they are all young." If it weren't for the legs, the mourning family would have to play with them. ”
"The Imperial Grandmother is still young," Emperor Yong'an said with a smile, "but it's cold outside, so the Imperial Grandmother should just take a look." ”
Outside the Changle Palace, Qiaozhu came back from the brilliant red plum blossoms in Luomei Xuan. Lingxi took one, plucked the small plum blossom on it, and put it on the hair bun of the fifth princess.
The fifth prince immediately said, "Mother, mother, Yi'er also wants Yi'er, Yi'er also wants to ......"
Emperor Yong'an looked at the red plum and smiled meaningfully at Xiao He and the Empress Dowager, "Imperial grandmother, she and her children both like red plums, and I want to reward her with a plum garden." ”
The Empress Dowager Xiaohe looked back at Emperor Yong'an and said with a smile, "What, does the emperor want to move Luomei Xuan to Luoxue Pavilion?" ”
Emperor Yong'an lowered his head and smiled, slapped his robe with his big hand, and said bluntly to Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager, "My grandson wants to canonize Ye Guifei as the queen, I don't know what the imperial grandmother means." ”
The Empress Dowager Xiaohe only looked at Emperor Yong'an and smiled, but did not speak.
The snow in the sky was getting heavier and heavier, and Lingxi was afraid that the five princesses and the five princes would freeze, so he took them back to the Changle Hall after playing for a while.
In the Changle Palace, the lotus leaf had already prepared the hot ginger soup to ward off the cold for the three Lingxi mother and son.
Emperor Yong'an walked out of the inner hall, his face was no longer as cheerful as when he walked in.
He stood beside Lingxi and stretched out his hand to sweep the snowflakes off Lingxi's bun, softened his expression, and said, "I'm afraid that ginger soup won't be enough to ward off the cold, go take a bath, and then change into dry clothes." ”
Lingxi's eyes were bright, she was full of smiles, and said to Xia Tong and Qiaozhu, "What the emperor said is reasonable, quickly take the five princes and the five princesses to bathe, and they must have hot water." ”
Qiaozhu and Xia Tong blessed Lingxi and led the five princesses and the five princes down.
Lingxi turned his head to look at Emperor Yong'an and said with a smile, "Why doesn't the emperor sit more?" ”
"I remember that there are some things that have not yet been done." Emperor Yong'an smiled, "Let's deal with it first, and I'll be there for you at night." ”
With that, he raised his feet and walked out of the Changle Palace.
Seeing the back of Emperor Yong'an disappear outside the palace gate, Lingxi drank ginger soup to warm his body, tidied up his dress, and raised his feet into the inner hall.
In the inner hall, the Empress Dowager Xiaohe was crooked on the low kang with her eyes closed, and her wrinkled face could not see joy or anger.
Zhiyue cautiously stood on the side of the dwarf kang, and saw the spirit rhino come in and greet the spirit rhino blessing body.
Hearing Zhiyue's voice, Xiao and the Empress Dowager opened their eyes, and their gaze swept slightly sharply on Lingxi's body.
Lingxi was startled by the eyes of Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager, and hurriedly put away the hippie smile, and greeted the Empress Dowager Xiaohe in a proper manner, and then asked cautiously, "Ancestor, but what happened?" ”
Xiao and the Empress Dowager gave Zhiyue a look, and Zhiyue immediately turned around and went out, leaving the inner hall to Xiao and the Empress Dowager and Lingxi.
Smelling the lily incense in the hall, Lingxi's heart suddenly became worried, she didn't know when she did something that angered Xiao and the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager Xiaohe looked at Lingxi's slightly confused expression and asked out loud, "Do you remember what she said to you when she returned to the palace two years ago?" ”
Lingxi raised her eyes and looked at the face of the Empress Dowager Xiaohe, lifted the hem of her skirt and knelt in front of the Empress Dowager Xiaohe, and said, "The concubine remembers that the concubine has kept the words of the Empress Dowager in mind for the past two years, and she dare not forget it in the slightest. ”
"The mourning family asked you to promise the mourning family, do you remember?"
Lingxi's heart trembled, and he understood what Emperor Yong'an and the Empress Dowager Xiaohe had said in the inner hall.
Closing his eyes, Lingxi swallowed a mouthful of spit, and said to Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager in a slightly dry voice, "The concubine always remembers it in her heart and has never forgotten it." ”
"Repeat."
"Concubines can't covet the back of the middle palace, and concubines can't negotiate the prince."
