97 Plastic Snow Lion
Just about to change shifts, Tong Yuyan felt that something passed by in front of him.
Mouse?
It's all caused by Cheng Xian's stinky boy, so he has to stuff vole meat for himself.
What a psychological shadow!
I feel like a mouse when the wind blows!
Rustle β
Tong Weiyan and Cheng Xian looked at the snow together, and there was obviously a gray thing flying in the snow.
The two glanced at each other and rushed over together.
Cheng Xian's light skills are even better, and his night vision ability is also excellent, he grabbed the scurrying thing as soon as he made a move, but he didn't expect this thing to have such a big tail.
"Twitterβ"
Cheng Xian hesitated for a moment, feeling that this squirrel with a big tail was quite cute, but for some reason it appeared in Jinghan Pavilion.
At this time, Qin Shuihan walked over with Lin Yi slowly, he just happened to accompany Lin Yi out for a walk, and by the way, he released the squirrel, but he didn't expect that little thing to fall into Cheng Xian's hands again.
"See Lord and Princess."
Qin Shuihan waved his hand, he glanced at Cheng Xian, and the scene of catching the squirrel just now completely fell into his eyes.
"Good kung fu."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Cheng Xian's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, in his heart, King Han was the prince he followed, although the task of guarding the princess was a bit boring now, but at least he could see King Han from time to time.
For him, that's enough.
Qin Shuihan nodded, this kind of look, he was too familiar, he knew that he was the god of war in their hearts.
It's just that fighting a war is not a happy thing.
What is needed on the battlefield is cold-bloodedness, not enthusiasm.
Lin Yi also glanced at Cheng Xian with Qin Shuihan's gaze, this guard was not burly, but his actions were very smart, and the skill of catching squirrels just now was extremely fast, and she didn't see the arrest process clearly at all.
It's too aggrieved for such a person to watch the courtyard gate here...
"Twitterβ"
The squirrel in Cheng Xian's hand cried twice.
Lin Yi pursed her lips and asked with a smile, "Guard Cheng, what are you going to do with this squirrel?" β
Cheng Xian touched his hat innocently.
"Back to the princess, my subordinates think this gadget is quite cute, and hesitate to bring it back to the house to raise, but today's vole meat is delicious, and I want to taste the meat of this thing."
Fellow travelers!
Lin Yigege smiled and bit his ears with Qin Shuihan.
"This guard is not taboo, he eats everything, he is young and promising."
Qin Shuihan sneered, he is young and promising if he is not taboo? Yiyi's standards are also amazing, but she's happy.
Tong Yuyan and Cheng Xian glanced at each other and retreated with interest.
"The subordinates retired."
Qin Shuihan nodded, and continued to take Lin Yi's little hand and walk slowly on the snow.
"Yiyi, there will be a plastic snow lion the day after tomorrow, and I will take you into the palace to play."
"Yes, yes!"
Lin Yi laughed happily, took a big stride, and stepped on the snow to a clattering sound, but thinking of the Yan sisters' provocation last time, he was a little hesitant.
"Last time in the palace, they said that the snow lions were all unmarried young ladies, is it inappropriate for me to go?"
"It's nonsense, the snow lion is a recreational activity for the people of Daqin to comfort the people, and there is no age or gender."
However, Qin Shuihan didn't say it all, at this time, there were indeed plastic snow lions all over the capital, but only the princes and nobles in the palace could participate.
"Then you take me to play!"
Time came to the day of the plastic snow lion in a blink of an eye, and Qin Shuihan took a set of split velvet and put it next to Lin Yi's bed.
"Wear this outfit to make you have a great time today."
Lin Yi stretched out her fingers in a daze, she touched the clothes on the side, full of large stacks, from the inside to the outside, all matching, each piece of clothing was fluffy, and it was very warm to touch.
"Shui Han, thank you......"
Before the words fell, Lin Yi was confused again.
Qin Shuihan helped her tuck the quilt and chuckled helplessly.
It's too late to go back at noon, so let her sleep again.
He turned and walked over to the desk to continue his business.
Imperial Palace, Cuibei Garden.
At this time, it was already crowded with bustling people.
Cui Beiyuan is located on the north side of the palace, facing a mountain, and the birds of prey on the mountain will occasionally come down the mountain to feed, but more often some small animals have strayed into the palace.
There are several pavilions in the Cuibei Garden, each with its own style.
Some are majestic and magnificent, with several iron lions crawling on the huge eaves corners.
Some are bare pillars, but the corbels of the pavilion are meticulously carved and depict characters from countless scripts.
There are also some glazed tile stone pavilions, which shine in the sunlight.
At the center of these pavilions is an attic that the princes and nobles would enter when they wanted to rest and keep warm.
Qin Zhe sat comfortably on the easternmost part of the third floor, surrounded by several cronies.
"Your Highness, ten days from now will be your great day, and Lingxu will definitely present a great gift."
Qin Zhe chuckled lightly and glanced at Lou Caiyi in the glazed pavilion below.
At this time, Lou Caiyi was building lions with several young ladies, she raised her eyes to look at Qin Zhe and smiled.
Qin Zhe also raised the corners of his mouth, pretending to be a concubine.
"The crown princess is really amazing, congratulations to Your Highness."
The person who spoke was Lu Nantian, the son of the Shaofu, but his gaze did not stay on Lou Caiyi, but at Shang Ziyan in the low pavilion in the distance.
Shang Ziyan's sister Shang Jingwan is the prince's side concubine, if she can marry her, then she will kiss the prince.
Qin Zhe snorted and took a sip of tea.
In his eyes, Lou Caiyi is just the daughter of a deputy prime minister, and he doesn't care at all if she has an amazing posture.
Looking at the jade lion piled up by Lou Caiyi, Qin Zhe felt disdain in his heart, this woman could pile up such an ugly lion!
Another idiot.
In the glazed pavilion on the other side, Chu Xinyi and Chu Lingchen, brothers and sisters, occupied the highest and most majestic Wangfan Pavilion.
It took them an hour to pile up a huge jade lion and use up all the snow that the eunuchs had been carrying in a steady stream.
The princes and nobles who passed by the two couldn't help but be amazed, worthy of being the sons of generals.
Domineering!
Chu Xinyi shook the snowflakes on her body, looked around again, and still didn't see Qin Shuihan.
Although she was scolded by her father for trespassing on the Han Wang's Mansion that time, she still thought about her Shui Han brother in her heart.
"Sister, are you looking for the Han King?"
"Hmm."
"Is the Cold King that good?"
"I just like him, I just want to get him."
Chu Xinyi's eyes sank, exuding a ruthless aura, such an arrogant aura, even a woman, made people shudder.
"Sister, you're going to scare your little brother to death, I'll ignore you and go look for my little sister."
Chu Lingchen raised his head, although he was only fourteen years old this year, when he was in the army, his father's deputy general Liu Jiao took him to find a military prostitute in private.
He has long been experienced in the affairs of men and women.
"Ling Chen, don't go, I'll go to the attic to have a drink, this is the jade lion of our Chu family, you have to help me watch it!"
After speaking, Chu Xinyi swaggered towards the attic.
Qin Zhiruo just went downstairs and faced Chu Xinyi head-on.
"Meet the Second Prince."
Chu Xinyi blessed his body.
Qin Zhiruo nodded with a smile and continued to walk downstairs.
"Brother Zhiruo, have you seen Brother Shui Han?"
Chu Xinyi turned around and smiled like a flower.
Qin Zhiruo couldn't help but shrink his neck, just now he called himself the second prince, and then called himself brother?
Seeing her smile brightly, Qin Zhiruo touched her bald head again.
Women are too scary!
"I didn't meet the fifth brother..."
"Oh, thank you, brother."
Chu Xinyi twisted her waist and turned to go upstairs.
When Eleven saw his brother coming down, he seemed a little uneasy, so he couldn't help but dust the snow off his sleeves and got up and walked over.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
"Sister ......"
Qin Zhiruo breathed a sigh of relief, he only had this one sister, and the woman just now was not his sister.
"Sister, let's pile up the most majestic jade lion together today!"
Eleven curled the corners of her mouth, revealing two small dimples.
"Brother, I called a few little sisters, and we will make a snow lion together, and we must make the biggest and most majestic jade lion!"
In the attic, Chu Xinyi stood by the windowsill and glanced at Qin Zhiruo and Eleven, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
The most majestic jade lion?
Of course, only the one you make yourself is worthy of the word majestic!
"Lord Chu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites you to go over there for a drink."
Chu Xinyi turned around and frowned when she saw that the person who spoke was Lu Nantian.
She doesn't like men with whiter skin than herself.
"His Royal Highness the Prince? Where? β
Lu Nantian pointed to the screen not far away.
Chu Xinyi's eyes rolled and walked over with the corners of his mouth.
"Xinyi has seen the prince's brother."
Qin Zhe raised the teacup in his hand and shook it at Chu Xinyi.
"Sister Xinyi, come, have a drink."
One is called smoothly, the other is smooth, and the two are like real brothers and sisters.
Chu Xinyi was not polite, and sat down directly next to Qin Zhe.
Lu Nantian watched this woman sitting in his seat, worthy of being the daughter of a general, but isn't her father a master, how valuable is it?
"Sister Xinyi likes the fifth brother, do you want my brother to help you?"
Chu Xinyi's beautiful eyes turned and looked at him with a smile in her eyes.
"Sister, I've already put it into action."
Chu Xinyi whispered a few words in Qin Zhe's ear.
Qin Zhe showed an approving gaze.
"It's worthy of Sister Xinyi."
"Do you agree with the prince's brother's thoughts? Xinyi knows that her ability is limited, and she still hopes for the prince's brother to advise. β
Chu Xinyi bent the corners of her mouth, although her face was full of smiles, this smile was very terrifying.
Lu Nantian and Xue Lingxu glanced at each other, and they both blinked quickly.
This woman is not simple!
"Nantian, give some gifts to Sister Xinyi."
Lu Nantian nodded understandingly, the Lu family was the money bag of His Royal Highness the Prince, and he quickly took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve.
"Monarch Chu, a little bit of heart."
Chu Xinyi looked at the silver ticket he handed over, and was not polite, and stuffed it directly into the purse.
She glanced at Lu Nantian, even her fingers were so white and slender, and she rolled her eyes unconsciously.
I wanted to peel off his skin.
Lu Nantian suddenly felt a chill hit him, and this Chu County Lord didn't seem to like him very much.
He racked his brains to recall the intersection with Chu Xinyi, today was the first time he talked to her, where did he offend this county lord?!
Completely incomprehensible!
"Sister Xinyi, if you need anything, feel free to tell Lu Gongzi."
"Thank you, Brother Prince."
Lu Nantian laughed awkwardly, he didn't like this county lord very much in his heart.
Before you know it, it's noon.
The sun is shining, and under the bright sun, the snow sculptures of different sizes and shapes are dazzling.
Lin Yi and Qin Shuihan had just arrived at Cuibei Garden.
Looking at the snow sculptures like cats and dogs everywhere, Lin Yi suddenly realized that these strange shapes are the so-called lions.
No wonder it's called a plastic snow lion.
It's just that all lions are huge in size and have the same mane image, which makes Lin Yi a little smacked.
These lions are not the same as real lions, and there are only male lions in the eye, and there is not a single female lion in sight.
Occasionally, there are a few lion cubs, also with thick manes.
"Shui Han, can I make another animal?"
The lion is too spicy, and Lin Yi doesn't want to pile up lions when he kills them.
"Of course you can, you can do whatever you want."
Lin Yi looked around again, it seemed that the snowmen were all girls, and the tall and handsome Qin Shuihan was too conspicuous standing beside him.
She also noticed the attic not far away, where there were many men drinking and talking.
"Shui Han, I'll play with Biyue in the snow, do you want to go to the attic to rest for a while?"
Qin Shuihan hesitated for a moment, then understood Lin Yi's intentions, he pinched her nose and showed a gentle smile.
"Okay, when you're tired, come to the attic to rest."
Qin Shuihan glanced at Biyue again.
"Don't worry, the slave and maid will take good care of the princess."
Lin Yi chuckled helplessly, playing in the snow and making such a fuss, it really convinced them.
Qin Shuihan nodded, as soon as he stepped into the attic with his front foot, Zuo Haoran immediately brought a few people over.
"See the King of Cold."
Several other sons also saluted.
Qin Shuihan glanced at the row of young people in front of him.
Ma Wenyu, the second son of the Shangshu family, and Ma Bingchen, the fourth son, and Zang Jinyou, the only son of the Shilang family of the Ministry of War.
But the man on the far left, Qin Shuihan has never seen it.
This person's facial features are upright, and his eyebrows are full of heroism, although he has not completely lost the baby fat, but he gives people a heroic impression.
The eyes are facing each other.
The other party is not timid, with a polite smile on his face, showing a maturity that does not match his age.
"His Royal Highness King Han, this is Su Xiaoling, a friend I met by chance, who participated in the palace exam last year and failed, and plans to come again this year."
It was Zang Jinyou who spoke, and Qin Shuihan's impression of him was just that he studied in the same academy as Zuo Haoran and wrote well.
At this time, he stared at Qin Shuihan with adoring eyes, and he had a sense of seeing the fans meeting.
Qin Shuihan frowned, would a weak scholar also worship himself?
Facing Zang Jinyou, whose eyes were blazing, Qin Shuihan felt a little uncomfortable, he had never seen such a suffocating gaze of the same sex!
He coughed helplessly and turned his gaze to Su Xiaoling.
"Who is Master Su?"
"Our township is in Panyu."
Qin Shuihan noticed the flanging of his cuffs, which looked like they had been sewn many times, and he was not very wealthy.
"Can you be sure of this year's palace exam?"
"Back to His Royal Highness King Han, the villain's qualifications are ignorant, and I don't know ...... this year"
"Since you can pass the test, you are already a dragon and a phoenix among people, and Su Gongzi doesn't have to be humble."
Su Xiaoling nodded, and stood beside Zang Jinyou with his chin bowed.
Qin Shuihan stayed on him for a few more seconds, although this person was born poor, his temperament of not being humble or arrogant was rare.
Several people surrounded Qin Shuihan and went to the elegant seat on the third floor, and immediately a palace maid and eunuch came to serve tea and wine.
At the side of the pavilion, Lin Yi pushed up the snowman according to his own ideas.
Simple and crude.
A large round snowball with a small round ball stacked on top of it.
"Princess, what are you piling up?"
Biyue tilted her head and looked at the snowball, what is a big and a small thing?
She didn't understand the princess's taste.
"Biyue, help me find a carrot!"
Carrot?
Lin Yi smiled slyly, rammed the snowball hard, and picked up the small pebbles on the ground.
"It's an eye, and it's a carrot for a nose."
The snowman with two small pebbles in it seems to be infused with a soul at once.
So cute.
"Princess, the slave will go find a carrot."
Biyue immediately ran to the imperial tea room not far away, and when she saw the little eunuch in the room, she took out a silver ingot.
"This father-in-law, the slave maid is the maid of Princess Han, can there be a carrot from Father-in-law Lao?"
The little eunuch who was making tea saw the silver ingot, his eyes flashed, and he wanted to take it but was embarrassed to take it.
Biyue understood and stuffed the silver ingot into the little eunuch's hand.
"Father-in-law, the imperial food hall is too far away, so it will trouble your father-in-law to run errands. Our princess is in Changshan Pavilion over there. β
"Minions, let's go."
After saying that, the little eunuch went to the house and called another eunuch to come and look at the tea.
Biyue rushed back to Lin Yi's side and saw several people walking towards Lin Yi.
She scurried over.
"The concubine is a concubine, and I have seen Princess Han."
Lin Yi turned his head and was instantly amazed by the woman in front of him.
The skin is like clotted fat, the eyes are like charming, the lips are white, and the faint mole on the eyebrows is even more charming.
She is worthy of being the emperor's woman!
Lin Yi hurriedly said: "The concubine has seen He Niangniang. β
"The slave has seen He Niangniang."
Biyue gasped and rushed behind Lin Yi, and she also hurriedly saluted.
Concubine He's name is Qianxue, and she smiled and said: "Princess Han's singing voice is graceful and unforgettable. β
Lin Yi smiled shyly, it was a good song, but it was not his own ability.
"Hehe......"
She glanced at the two beside He Qianxue again.
The palace maid has bright eyes and bright teeth, and her appearance is not inferior to that of the young lady in the capital.
The eunuch has a slender figure, a cold face, and handsome facial features.
It's a pity that such a good gene was cleansed......
Lin Yi continued to maintain a polite smile, is this Concubine He just here to praise her singing?
"I heard that Princess Han has excellent medical skills, I wonder if you can please give the concubine a pulse?"
He Qianxue's eyes had a hint of expectation, and her shallow smile was very dignified.
Lin Yi's head flashed Ye Wan's figure.
Or the woman in front of her is more in line with her imagination of ancient beauties.
"Okay~"
Lin Yi's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to grab He Qianxue's wrist to check the pulse.
Listening to her simple and excited answer, the three people on the other side were slightly stunned.
This Han princess doesn't seem to be the same as ordinary women.
Biyue lowered her eyes, the princess's "good" is always so subdued and cheerful.
Lin Yi looked around, except for the Changshan Pavilion behind him, there was no other place to sit, but unfortunately there was no warm flannel and no stove in the pavilion, so it was definitely inappropriate to let such a precious lady show her wrists!
"The attic over there is warmer, can He Niangniang move to the attic?"
He Qianxue chuckled and said, "Why don't you come to my Xuanlan Hall with Princess Han?" β
Lin Yi blinked, is it a little inappropriate to take the liberty of coming to the door? But seeing the other party's sincerity, she was a little hesitant.
"Can He Niangniang wait for me for a moment? I'll come when I go! β
He Qianxue nodded.
Lin Yi ran up to the attic with Biyue.
At this time, Qin Yi also brought a few friends to gather around Qin Shuihan.
Seeing so many people, Lin Yi paused.
But fortunately, Qin Shuihan immediately noticed her, and when he saw her beckoning to him, he immediately got up and walked over.
"Yiyi, what's wrong?"
"A concubine invited me to her site to see her, and I want to ask your opinion."
He Qianxue?
Qin Shuihan had a slight impression of her, because in the draft three years ago, He Qianxue was indeed the most eye-catching of all the show girls, and her father also loved her very much at that time, but unfortunately she has not been able to conceive an heir.
But I don't have anything to do with her.
"I'll send you there."
Lin Yi hummed, then grabbed his arm and went downstairs together.
It seems that he didn't expect Lin Yi to come over with Qin Shuihan, and He Qianxue was blessed.
"The concubine has seen His Royal Highness the King of Han."
"Erchen has seen Concubine He."
Lin Yi pouted, as if the title was not quite the same, I don't know if there is a guide to etiquette in the palace, the ancients were so troublesome!
When he arrived at Xuanlan Palace, Qin Shuihan nodded to Lin Yi and obediently stood at the door.
Lin Yi didn't understand for a while, but when he saw He Qianxue blessed Qin Shuihan, he finally understood.
Daddy's woman, you have to avoid suspicion!
The layout of the Xuanlan Palace is exquisite, but it is not as large as the Ronglan Palace, and it seems that the land area determines the status of the land.
However, Lin Yi couldn't help but snicker, no matter how big it was, it couldn't be bigger than his own courtyard, it was better to be outside the palace.
Looking at He Qianxue's elegant back, Lin Yi was very curious, she didn't seem to be a few years older than herself, why did she choose to enter the palace?
Although the status of the concubine is noble, what is the meaning of serving that emperor.
Lin Yi sighed, although Emperor Qin Ming is not a bad old man, after all, he has a professional health care team to serve him, but he is almost sixty years old, and he will not marry such a person if he kills himself.
Walking into the palace house, it was not as gorgeous as Lin Yi imagined, but it was a little deserted, with a few large vases and an incense burner.
The harp in the corner attracts her attention the most.
The phoenix of the headstock is vivid, and the whole wooden frame is the shape of the phoenix tail, which is exquisite.
"Princess Han can play the gonghou?"
Lin Yi shook his head, it turned out that this thing was not called a harp.
He Qianxue smiled indifferently: "His Royal Highness the King of Han has excellent piano skills. β
Lin Yi is very proud of the all-round development of her own male god's morality, intelligence, physique, beauty and labor, but the mention of Qin Shuihan suddenly made her heart tighten, does this beautiful concubine have any thoughts about Qin Shuihan?
It won't be the bloody model of not being able to marry a son and marry an old man, right?!
"Princess Han is really favored."
Lin Yi looked up at He Qianxue vigilantly, without a trace of jealousy in her tone, that is, she explained the objective facts, and she had to laugh awkwardly.
He Qianxue walked to the table and sat down.
"Princess Han, can you take the pulse of the concubine?"
"Okay."
With a weak pulse and weak qi, Lin Yi frowned, and just wanted to reach out to touch He Qianxue's face, and immediately remembered Guo Yun.
"He Niangniang, I need to give you a good doctor, can I trouble you to lie down?"
He Qianxue was slightly stunned, seeing Lin Yi's serious face, she thought for a moment and then got up and walked to the inner room.
"Zi Yan, you accompany Princess Han's maidservant, Song Jie, you stay at the door."
"Yes."
Zi Yan smiled at Biyue and poured her a cup of tea.
"What do you call your sister?"
"Slave Biyue."
Song Jie stared at He Qianxue's figure tightly, and there was an indescribable gloom in his eyes.
"He Niangniang, I looked at your eyes, don't be nervous."
He Qianxue, who was lying on the bed, smiled softly.
Lin Yi sighed, sure enough, he was anemic, and it was a little serious.
The food in the palace should not be bad, although He Qianxue's body is slender, but there is no sick posture.
Iron deficiency anemia?
Red blood cell aplasia?
Subtype leukemia?
"He Niangniang, I'm going to lift your robe and check it, is it okay?"
He Qianxue's eyes swept across Lin Yi's face like a blade, and seeing Lin Yi frowning and staring at her stomach, she quickly curved the corners of her mouth and showed a polite smile.
"There's Princess Laohan."
Lin Yi pressed her head to her chest and tapped the back of her lungs again.
There doesn't seem to be a problem.
When she pressed it to her stomach, He Qianxue suddenly couldn't stop laughing.
Hahaha β
He Qianxue laughed breathlessly, and the undulating laughter also had a sense of rhythm, which was very magical.
Zi Yan and Song Jie in the outer hall looked at each other, unable to imagine what was happening in the inner room.
Biyue pinched the teacup in her hand and frowned.
Although Lin Yi's status is not low, the other party is the emperor's concubine!
"He Niangniang, you hold your breath, I'll just press my stomach."
Looking at the fine sweat on Lin Yi's forehead, He Qianxue looked at Lin Yi carefully, this woman was very responsible for seeing herself!
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Lin Yi pressed her stomach intently, and there seemed to be no abnormality.
But that's all she can do.
Lin Yi helped He Qianxue pull out his robe.
"He Niangniang, my consultation is over. What does the mother feel uncomfortable about? β
He Qianxue tidied up her dress and returned to the outer hall with Lin Yi, she quickly glanced at Song Jie and passed him a reassuring look.
Maybe the laughter just now was too exaggerated, and He Qianxue's face was slightly peachy.
Song Jie immediately adjusted his breath, but couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
"Princess Han, the concubine has always been in good health, but she has been feeling a little weak recently."
Lin Yi looked at He Qianxue's eyes and replied honestly: "He Niangniang's qi and blood are deficient, what medicine have you been taking recently?" β
The faces of several people sank slightly.
He Qianxue motioned for Lin Yi to sit on the chair next to her and poured her a cup of tea.
"It's an old problem, and occasionally the concubine will feel dizzy."
Lin Yi quickly rolled his eyes, except for anemia, there seemed to be no other problem.
"He Niangniang, do you have any children?"
He Qianxue's eyes swept over Lin Yi sharply, and then looked at his teacup.
"The concubine's belly is not angry, and she failed to give birth to a son and a half daughter to the emperor."
Her voice seemed a little sad, and Lin Yi couldn't hear it with great sympathy.
Having a child can ensure her prosperity and wealth for the rest of her life, she understands this truth.
"He Niangniang, don't think about it, I see that you have no other problems except for blood deficiency. If you don't have children, maybe the emperor can't do it. β
Several people were stunned, and they all focused on Lin Yi.
A flash of lightning flashed through Biyue's head, and she fell to her knees with a thud.
"He Niangniang's forgiveness, princess - drinking too much, it was drunk nonsense just now!"
Lin Yi looked blindfolded, when did he drink?
