Just before the New Year, Jiang Qi came to the cold palace, this time he no longer broke in like before, but the guards respectfully invited him in, and he no longer needed me to lead the way to find Concubine Rong's residence directly.

I often go to Concubine Rong's, so naturally I can see him often. Only then did he learn that after breaking into the palace last time, King Jiang grounded him, and then in an archery competition, he stood out among the princes, and King Jiang made him a wish, so that he was able to enter the cold palace openly.

On this day, Concubine Rong fell asleep, and Jiang Qi talked to me. "What's your name?" He asked me as he wiped his mother's hand.

I watched his gentle movements, and felt so warm, but the gold embroidery on the cuffs pierced my eyes, and I suddenly felt that my name was so ugly that it was not worth mentioning.

"Gu Yu," I whispered.

"Thank you for talking to my mother these days to relieve boredom," he looked at me, then at my little hands that were red from the cold, and asked, "Isn't there a charcoal fire everywhere in this cold palace?" I shook my head.

Since Jiang Qi came here, someone has sent charcoal to Concubine Rong, and the house is warm, but the rest of the places will not be used unless the mother's family has a relationship.

He took my hand and put it in his hand to keep warm, his hand was so thick and warm! I didn't dare look at him, I thought I must have blushed at this point.

Then we gradually got acquainted, he specially brought me a hand stove, I gave this hand stove to the concubine, he also gave me a lot of fruits, I have never eaten such delicious food, especially a kind of mung bean pastry, with a faint aroma of osmanthus, Jiang Qi and I are very fond of eating.

When I opened the window in the morning, I felt a fresh and cool breath in my nose, and it was snowing! The pine trees in front of the door were dressed in pure white velvet, and a carpet of white velvet was spread everywhere, and I rushed out the door with a shout of joy.

Building a snowman is the only fun in the cold winter! I dug my hands deep into the knee-high heavy snow, tumbling and rubbing, and in a moment there was a deep mark in the snow, the round body of the snowman had taken shape, my hands were red from the cold, but the body was slightly hot.

As soon as I looked up, I saw Jiang Qi not far away, and I waved my hand at him panting: "Third prince, come here!" He walked towards me with his red ears covered, but there was a smile on his face that could not be concealed, like the joy of stepping on the snow.

He looked at the body of the snowman I had built, and laughed happily, the sun showed out of the clouds, the white earth was gilded with a layer of gold, and the soft sunlight shone on his smiling face, which was extraordinarily bright.

"This snowman is so small!" As he spoke, he crouched down, pulled a pile of snow, patted it, and crumpled it into a strong oval, and then placed the ellipse on top of the body of the snowman we had just piled up, just like its head, but unfortunately it had no facial features.

He looked at the snowman, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Let's go," he pulled me, and then went to Concubine Rong's residence.

There were already people around who went out to see the snow one after another, but no one actually stepped on the snow and went to build a snowman like us, it was probably too cold.

Concubine Rong was still resting, and Mama was making tea in the small room, and when she saw the two of us coming early in the morning, she hurriedly brought the freshly brewed tea, and she didn't forget to say in her mouth: "The weather is so cold, the third prince shouldn't get up so early."

We rubbed our hands together and kept breathing, and Mama hurriedly poured two cups of tea, which was steaming hot.

We hurriedly picked it up, and our hands felt this little warmth and immediately became conscious, and Mama saw our red little hands, and couldn't help sighing and said: "Quickly warm up your hands, this cold and snowy place, you can't go out again!" ”

Before the tea could cool down, he took a few plums from the fruit bowl and whispered in my ear, "Let's go," and I also took a mung bean cake from the plate and went out quietly with him.

The grandmother, who was still folding the quilt for Concubine Rong, hurriedly chased after her and shouted, "Third prince......" We ran more and more happily.

The whole cold palace could only hear our cheerful laughter.

Back in the snow, he embedded two plums in the snowman's head, like two round eyes, and he looked back at me as if to show off. "What about the mouth?" I asked deliberately, and he inserted another plum into it, but it looked very strange.

I carefully bit the mung bean cake into the shape of a lip flap, removed his plum, and inserted the mung bean cake into it, and the snowman, which had just looked weird, immediately became very cute.

He touched my head and said, "This is my first time building a snowman!" I widened my eyes in surprise and asked, "You've never built a snowman before?" ”

"Every time it snows, the grandmothers don't allow us to go out, for fear that we will get cold and cold," he said to the side, puffing into his hands, "Actually, we have a lot of rules to follow." "I looked at him and suddenly felt a little pitiful for them.

This day is Chinese New Year's Eve, and I heard the concubine say that every year at this time, a banquet will be held in the palace, and the palace people will change into new clothes to celebrate the new year together!

At midnight, people all walked out of the house, and the first fireworks of the new year rose into the night sky, outlining the shape of brilliant flowers under a huge black curtain, and the light shone throughout the imperial city.

The concubine looked at the night sky, in the light of the fireworks, her face was so serene, and her eyes were shiny and shiny, like a pool of water about to overflow...... Maybe she also remembered her grandma.

For some reason, I suddenly had a stomachache, I held my stomach, and I didn't want to watch the fireworks, but I happened to see someone running in the corridor in the distance, I thought I was wrong, I rubbed my eyes, and sure enough, it was someone.

I pulled the corner of the concubine's clothes, she turned her head sideways, in the darkness, there seemed to be a drop of water falling on the back of my hand, cold and cold, "Concubine, there are people in the corridor." ”

She looked through the light of the fireworks and took my hand to the other side of the hallway.

"Bang-" A beam of fireworks rose into the night sky, we had reached the corridor, the man's face was very clear in the light of the fire, it was not Concubine Rong's grandmother, but who was it, she ran hard, and she couldn't care if her hair was messy.

"Mama, Mama" The concubine called out to the mama who was about to approach, and when she saw the concubine, the mama seemed to be stunned, her hair was already messy, and her face was full of tears that wet her gray hair, which stuck to her face one by one, and her shoes and socks and trouser legs were completely wet.

"What's wrong? Is it Concubine Rong, she ......" The concubine held the old lady who was about to fall and asked eagerly, "Miss, Miss, she ......" Because she ran too fast, she was a little out of breath.

"Say slowly," the concubine patted her back calmly, and the grandmother seemed to wake up suddenly, two lines of hot tears poured out, and she knelt heavily on the ground with a "plop" and bowed to the concubine: "Concubine Niangniang, Concubine Rong Niangniang." ”

After the splendor is over, the night sky is silent again.
