"Fluttershy is just a palace maid, and she can't afford to give Miss Bi'er such a gift." Fluttershy bowed, then turned to Concubine Li and said, "Concubine Li, my sister Xiao has recently been infected with the wind cold and is feeling unwell, so it is the slave's fault that the slave maid came out so late and made Concubine Li wait for a long time." ”

As she spoke, Fluttershy bowed to Concubine Li again.

"Is the queen mother in her body sick? Is it a big deal? Concubine Li immediately asked with concern, and she didn't see the weakness of Shicai.

Shaking her head gently, Fluttershy whispered, "My sister Xiao is fine, Concubine Li doesn't have to worry." With that, Fluttershy turned to the side and said respectfully, "Concubine Li, please, my sister Xiao is waiting in the bedroom." ”

"Fluttershy has led the way." Concubine Li nodded, spoke softly like water, and was supported by Qing'er, and walked into the gate of the cold palace, while Bi'er was once again struggling to hold the basket of charcoal.

Follow Fluttershy to Xia Ye'er's bedroom, as soon as she entered the room, she heard Xia Ye'er coughing in a low voice, Concubine Li looked over and saw Xia Ye'er with a pale face, sitting on the bed with a quilt tightly wrapped in her body, but looking at herself indifferently, seeing that she frowned and laughed, Concubine Li immediately felt that she was rude, and was busy bowing and bowing.

"Concubine Li, see the queen's mother." Concubine Li is blessed and safe.

"I have said many times to Concubine Li, there is no need to salute in the cold palace. If Concubine Li can't write it down, don't come to the cold palace again in the future. As she spoke, Xia Ye'er coughed lightly, her face was slightly ruddy due to coughing, but it made the people who saw it even more distressed.

"The queen's mother and phoenix are disobedient, and the concubines don't know, but they come to disturb, it's the concubines who are reckless." Concubine Li bowed down and apologized.

"The palace is now in the cold palace, although there is still the title of the queen, but it is like a deposed person, it is also a rare idea to have Concubine Li Niangniang come to see the palace, this palace is too late to be happy, how can Concubine Li be reckless." Xia Ye'er chuckled and said to Fluttershy, "Lead Concubine Li to a seat, and go prepare a pot of hot water for Concubine Li to warm up." ”

"Yes." Fluttershy bows her head and leaves, without saying more.

Seeing Fluttershy leave, Concubine Li said respectfully, "The concubine thanked the queen for her love." After Concubine Li thanked her, she turned to Bi'er and said, "Put the charcoal aside." The words fell, and Concubine Li took a seat.

"Yes, Concubine Lao Li has this thought." Seeing Bi'er put down the charcoal, Xia Ye'er said softly, without any special expression on her face.

"This is the duty of a concubine." Concubine Li replied with her head bowed, frowned again, and asked worriedly: "The queen's phoenix body is not in harmony, can you ask the imperial doctor to come for treatment?" ”

"In the cold palace, there are just some lowly people who have no tomorrow. Rao is how noble the identity of this palace used to be, and now he is only wearing a sinful body, how can he pass on the imperial doctor! Xia Ye'er said softly, the corners of her mouth raised a wry smile, and she said in a low voice: "What's more, the rules in this harem, Concubine Li should know when she has been in the palace for a long time." Even if the emperor will not stop the imperial doctor from being passed on to the palace, I am afraid that no imperial doctor will dare to come. ”

"What does the queen mean......"

"It's good that Concubine Li knows, don't say it, lest the wall have ears." Xia Ye'er shook her head lightly and motioned to Concubine Li not to say it, so as not to cause trouble from her mouth.

"But the queen mother is the mother of the country after all, how can she get sick without being treated by a royal doctor!" Concubine Li's voice raised slightly, and her eyes were full of disagreement when she looked at Xia Ye'er, so she immediately stood up and said goodbye to Xia Ye'er: "The concubine knows that the queen's life is not good now, but the concubine will definitely find a way to cure the queen's cold." The concubine retired first, and Ming'er came to visit the queen again. ”

"Concubine Li walks slowly." Xia Ye'er laughed lightly, that is, she didn't ask Concubine Li how to help her, and she didn't stop her.

"Winter has come, the queen's phoenix body is important, don't worry about the charcoal fire, the concubines will find a way." Before going out, Concubine Li said to Xia Ye'er.

Passing by Concubine Li and walking in with a teapot, Fluttershy heard Concubine Li's words, and after Concubine Li and her party left, she got a cup of hot water for Xia Ye'er and asked softly, "Sister Xiao, Fluttershy doesn't understand, why does the master pretend to be sick and accept Concubine Li's kindness?" ”

"Haven't you always suspected Concubine Li's intention to come to the cold palace repeatedly? Let's take this opportunity to test it out to find out why she came. Xia Ye'er chuckled and took the hot water from Fluttershy, holding it in her palm to warm it.

"However, Concubine Li Niangniang is also guilty, no matter how capable she is, it is impossible for the imperial doctors to risk offending Shangguan Shuxue and come to see Sister Xiao! Take 10,000 steps back, if this imperial doctor comes, Sister Xiao is not sick, won't it be exposed? And the charcoal used by the concubines in the palace is counted, even if Concubine Li really wants to help Sister Xiao, how can she do it? Fluttershy asks the question in her mind.

With a light laugh, she took Fluttershy's hand and asked her to sit on the bed, and the two hid in a quilt to keep warm, Xia Ye'er whispered, "If it weren't for Concubine Li to deliver charcoal, I don't think there was anything wrong with her coming to the cold palace from time to time." However, even what you can see clearly, how can Concubine Li not be able to see clearly! ”

Listening to Xia Ye'er's words that she will never say through it, Fluttershy nodded as if she didn't understand, and then sighed and pouted, "It turns out that Sister Xiao is changing the law and saying that Fluttershy is stupid, and Fluttershy is angry!" ”

Seeing that Fluttershy deliberately put on a straight face, Xia Ye'er smiled and shook her head, just holding Fluttershy's hand, and the two of them held the water cup together to keep warm, and said lightly: "Anyway, since Concubine Li came to deliver charcoal to solve our urgent needs, we don't need to expose her too early, just be careful in everything." If we can save some charcoal, it should be enough to survive the New Year, and with the firewood we have in stock, we may be able to survive this long winter. ”

Hearing Xia Ye'er say this, Fluttershy glanced sideways at the charcoal fire placed in the doorway and smiled abruptly, "yes, it's been a long winter." ”

The wind and snow did not stop, and the deeds of this section gradually faded away in the sound of falling snow.

Xia Ye'er also understands that this story is like this charcoal fire and the wind and snow outside the house, the charcoal fire is just like the hope in her heart, no matter what kind of cold wind it is, as long as there is a little spark, it will burn and spread.

In the cold winter, the most warm thing is the human heart, Xia Ye'er stared at the flames and fell into a trance.
