Obviously, the snow season is the coldest, but the little maids in the courtyard have changed into bright winter clothes one by one and are building snow dolls in full swing.

Such a cheerful laughter makes people feel cold. Song Zhi sat under the porch as usual and watched, the moon, meteors, and water chestnuts were also playing in the courtyard, and only Qin's mother was guarding her under the porch.

"Miss, why are you more lazy than me? They don't look like young people, so why don't you go down and play with them? Mother Qin held a pumpkin-shaped hand stove and watched them play in the snow under the porch with Song Zhi.

The lid handle of the hand stove is made in the shape of a pumpkin stalk, which is the appearance that Song Zhi came up with by herself, and specially asked someone to create a birthday gift for her.

The craftsman thought that this system must be pleasing and asked Song Zhi if he could let him paint a few more gourds to sell. Song Zhi asked him to set aside a penny of profit for every time he sold a hand stove, and saved it up to make pension money for Qin's mother.

Although Qin's mother was happy to have this hand stove and her share, she felt that the appearance of this pumpkin was too playful and not suitable for her age, but since the beginning of winter, there has not been a day without it.

Month by month, I embroidered a few hand stove covers for her with calm colors, and she also used it from time to time, which is really called a 'duplicity'.

Song Zhi leaned on Mother Qin's shoulder, sniffed the refreshing and delicious smell of soaphorn on her body, and said, "When I think that Sister Jiang is in danger now, I can't do anything about it, I can't help at all, I really can't lift my energy." ”

Mother Qin's dry and rough hand stroked Song Zhi's face and said, "Miss Jiang is a blessed girl, she will be fine." ”

Shen Baiyan was afraid that she would be worried, so he sent someone to bring her the news that Jinghaihou and Jiang Ao had already gone.

Zhou Jue originally went in secret, and he had to act secretly, but Shen Baiyan asked him for a clear decree yesterday, and he became the emperor's order to investigate the matter.

With so many people, nothing should go wrong, right? Song Zhi thought uncertainly.

The maids in the courtyard were making a fuss and began to fight in the snow, and snowballs flew around the yard, and snow particles were scattered.

"Be careful! If you spill it into your clothes, you'll catch a cold. "Mother Qin is always the one to worry about, when she first came to Ruyi Pavilion, she had a serious temperament, and the little maids in the town didn't dare to speak loudly.

It's just that Song Zhi is easy-going and unrestrained, and she doesn't like too many rules, so that her head in her courtyard is as quiet as in Mrs. Lin's courtyard, and Qin's mother gradually followed her.

After getting along with these little maids for a long time, Mother Qin showed her kind and gentle nature and was quite loved. Once she went to the Lin Mansion to run errands, but she was teased by the old sisters, saying that she was with the little maid all day long, and she was getting younger and younger.

"Got it, Mother Qin." It was rare for the month to smile like this, and she usually lowered her head slightly and pursed the corners of her mouth implicitly.

Mother Qin looked at her slender back and whispered to Song Zhi: "Miss, it's time to find someone for the month." Although it is common for a maid to marry later, but I think this maid also has an idea, let's talk to her first, find out slowly, pick an honest and loyal one for her, and the family will follow you to Dingbei Wangfu as a companion. ”

Song Zhi bit a sour plum and made her speechless, so she could only nod, but she had a premonition in her heart that the month-by-month marriage would be out of her control.

"Isn't it too sour?" Mother Qin saw Song Zhi's small face, and hurriedly handed her the small plate that spit core, "Is there less frosting in the small kitchen?" ”

Song Zhi shook his hand and said, "This is the sour plum I asked Rosin to make for my brother, and I also left a small jar to try the taste." ”

"It's okay, if you can't get used to eating now, maybe you'll get used to eating in the future." Mother Qin joked softly, and Song Zhi called angrily, "Mother Qin." ”

At this time, although the courtyard was noisy, there was also a different sense of tranquility and serenity.

The little maid on duty today walked in, stepped forward to hear her say a few words, and walked towards Song Zhi with a puzzled face. "Miss, I said that there is a Miss Shen waiting outside the Ruyi Pavilion to come to see you."

"Miss Shen? I don't remember what Miss Shen I knew. Song Zhi pondered his eyebrows, but he still couldn't think of any Miss Shen who would come to the door, "Then you can invite her in and talk." ”

After a blessing month by month, he turned around to greet Miss Shen.

Miss Shen came wrapped in a red brown fox fur cloak, and the terry on the hood was really plump and full, and this one furry alone was worth the price of the winter clothes of the people in the courtyard.

Song Zhi got up and wanted to see who it was, this Miss Shen was turning her head and looking at the snowman and snow rabbit that had been built just now with interest.

"Shen, Miss Shen?" Song Zhi asked hesitantly.

As soon as Miss Shen turned her head, the hood covered her face tightly, revealing only the familiar curvature of her jaw.

"Ten Princesses!?" Song Zhi exclaimed and hurriedly saluted.

As soon as the maids heard the words 'Ten Princesses', they were so frightened that they stopped breathing, staggered, and knelt on the ground in a mess.

"Oops!" The tenth princess jumped on the spot anxiously, "I just don't want you to be restrained, that's why I said that I am Miss Shen!" ”

The tenth princess had just married Lin Tianlang two days ago, and Song Zhi also went that day, and it could be seen that Xiao Chen had a little forced smile.

But unexpectedly, the tenth princess did not set up another princess's mansion, but directly lived in the Lin mansion as the daughter-in-law of the Lin family.

Song Zhi on the side didn't know, but when Xiao Chen went out to watch the play with Lin yesterday, he looked in a good mood, and it seemed that the tenth princess was not an arrogant character.

Shen Baiyan also said in a letter to Song Zhi that although the Empress Dowager pampered the ten princesses, she was not pampered, and if there was a mistake, she could be punished.

"Then you are the tenth princess after all, and this ceremony still has to be done." Song Zhi couldn't help but salute, and half-knelt in the snow without any ambiguity.

The tenth princess turned around angrily and said, "Then I'll go back, I won't play with my sister anymore!" ”

"Huh!? Princess. Song Zhi hurriedly grabbed the sleeve of the tenth princess, and said helplessly: "Why are you so childish?" ”

The tenth princess's face was tense for a moment, and she instantly smiled, and said with Song Zhi in her arms: "I have time to talk to Sister Song today, don't drive me." ”

"How so?" Song Zhi didn't know how he liked the tenth princess, but he thought that it was the good fate that he had formed by using ointment to deal with her red and swollen skin in time.

"This is the mother who my sister said earlier that she can make ointment, right?" The ten princesses have big eyes that are very pleasing.

Mother Qin said with sincere fear: "How can the old slave afford the mother of the tenth princess?" ”

"Mom, don't say that, the redness and swelling on my face and hands that day depend on your medicine!" The tenth princess nodded to the person behind her, although she loved to laugh, but this posture of the head still had a royal extraordinary bearing.

The palace maid came to Qin's mother with a brocade box and said, "This is the gift that the princess has prepared for you." ”

How dare Mother Qin accept it? Just as she wanted to wave her hand, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Song Zhi smiling at her, her heart stabilized, took the brocade box and said, "Princess Xie is a thousand years old." ”

The tenth princess smiled at Mother Qin, she was really sweet and cute, "Sister Song, let's go in." ”

Song Zhi was also confused, and was dragged into the house by her, and the tenth princess seemed to have returned to her own room, but it was more natural than Song Zhi.

She sat with Song Zhi affectionately and said, "Ming'er, I'll go back to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother, and my sister will go with me, right?" The Empress Dowager definitely wants to meet you, too. ”

Song Zhi held his lower lip, a little unsure of how to respond.

"We're done!" Seeing her hesitating, the tenth princess simply clapped her head.

Song Zhi smiled helplessly, so he had to nod, "How do princesses and cousins get along?" She didn't know what to say to the tenth princess, so she had to borrow the words that the elders often hung on the edge.

Pink slowly climbed from the princess's neck to her face, she pursed her lips and smiled, and nodded generously, "The person I picked is naturally good." ”

Although it is a husband chosen by the tenth princess herself, it can be regarded as a beautiful thing, but when the tenth princess went out of the palace and saw Lin Tianlang riding a horse and patrolling the streets, she always felt that it was not in accordance with the rules, so the big guy said that it was Lin Tianlang who was favored by the queen mother on the surface.

The tenth princess was not pretentious, her fingers wrapped around the handkerchief, she didn't know what she remembered, and smiled secretly with the corners of her mouth.

"Sister Song, I thought he was a square character, but he was very lively when he didn't think about it, and he was willing to accompany me to make trouble when he was fine, but he had to hide it from the prime minister." The two heads were pressed together and spoke privately.

"My cousin was a hearty personality when he was young, but after entering the Hanlin Academy, his grandfather and uncle restrained him a lot, and his temperament was stable. Now that I have a family and a career, I must be more stable in front of others. This true nature will probably only be revealed in front of you for a few points in the future. Song Zhi said to the tenth princess.

The tenth princess nodded and said, "I understand." The Empress Dowager used to always scare me, saying that the palace was not as smooth as the palace, but I have been really happy these days. The sisters in the palace are all detached from each other and have different thoughts. Although I was taken care of by the Empress Dowager and I didn't have a biological mother, I couldn't be a threat, and no one hit me with ideas, but I didn't suffer less from the unpleasant sting between my words. ”

She looks cute and childish, but she speaks transparently and crisply. Song Zhi listened to her and thought to himself, 'How can the children in the palace be really innocent? But after all, she is a princess, and she doesn't have to serve her in-laws. A large number of palace maids and old grandmothers have married over, what kind of person is the old grandmother who came out of the palace? The tenth princess naturally doesn't have to worry about housekeeping, she just needs to be with Lin Tianlang. ’

She was thinking like this, but she heard the tenth princess say: "Sister doesn't have to envy me, when Kaichun marries her cousin, she must also be a pair of beautiful people with eyebrows." ”
