Chapter 199 Winter Snow Solstice

Chapter 199 Winter Solstice

Author: Xi Xing

The snow came a little early this winter.

Lu Yizhi lowered his sleeves and held the stove, and walked out along the corridor. He met officials from time to time, and they all greeted him with a smile, regardless of whether they were wearing dark or light official robes.

The young talent became famous in one fell swoop and was recognized by the whole world.

Lu Yizhi returned the courtesy with a smile, and knew the name and official position of every official. Three months was enough to get to know everyone with a photographic memory.

"Yizhi, are you going to the palace?" An older colleague followed up and asked.

Lu Yizhi nodded and said yes. Of course, he was not qualified enough to meet the Holy Spirit at any time. It was Hanlin's duty to enter the palace and sort out His Majesty's various documents and decrees.

The colleague then said, "Let's go together." He flexed his wrist again, "There are so many things going on in winter, and my wrist can't relax."

Lu Yizhi handed the hand stove to him: "Then be careful not to catch cold."

My colleague exclaimed: "How can I use yours?"

Lu Yiyi smiled: "I'm a few years younger and not afraid of the cold."

The colleague laughed. He didn't care about being called older. He could still argue with other colleagues. Lu Yi was as green as a willow. Seeing his face, no one dared to compare with him.

I'm too embarrassed to tell a joke.

He is also not polite. This is not how officials get along with each other. You respect me and I respect you. If you look down on me, I will definitely give you a stumbling block.

"When you're done, I'll invite you to try the best braised pork in the capital." He said, smiling again, "Mr. Xiahou also likes to eat here."

Lu Yizhi was not polite: "Then I will take a portion back to the teacher after I finish eating."

That's right. Scholars can be noble, but being a high-ranking official is not so lovable.

The two walked into the palace chatting and laughing. The snow particles had turned into lightly fluttering snowflakes. From a distance, they saw a group of craftsmen walking past on the other side.

Although through the snow and fog, Lu Yi could see a woman walking among them at a glance.

This was the first time he saw this woman since that day, and the woman seemed to be looking through the snow and fog.

However, the paths taken by the craftsmen and officials were different and did not intersect. The group of craftsmen soon walked into a side passage and disappeared behind the palace wall.

The colleague noticed his gaze and looked over. He recognized the craftsman and thought of something: "Oh, yes, the Star Gazing Pavilion has been repaired."

Guanxing Pavilion is not a big event, but because the Five Prince Consorts were involved, the officials paid more attention to it.

Lu Yizhi responded: "That's great. Your Majesty can climb up to watch the snow."

Lu Yizhi was really right about it, and when he came to the Imperial Study Room, he learned that His Majesty had indeed gone to climb the mountain.

"The Fifth Prince Consort said that it is one level higher than the original Star Observation Pavilion. When you climb up there, you will really feel like you can reach for the stars and fly to the immortals." The chamberlain said, "His Majesty was very happy to hear that. It was snowing again, and he was like a few

The adults said we won’t discuss matters today and let’s go up to the heights together.”

While they were talking here, a servant came in hurriedly, as if he was looking for something. When he saw Lu Yizhi, he happily clapped his hands.

"Your Majesty asked me to see that Hanlin is here, please come and write poems with me." He said, "It's great that Editor Lu is here. Come with me quickly."

The new Hanlins are always more interesting than the old Hanlins, especially they are good-looking.

Being able to accompany the driver is also a rare opportunity for Xinhanlin.

Lu Yizhi hurriedly responded and followed the waiter to the Star Gazing Pavilion.

Lord Guanxing was surrounded by the imperial guards of the chamberlain, and even the dark guards of the Imperial Guards. Even though the chamberlain was leading the way, their eyes looked at Lu Yizhi coldly and unceremoniously.

Lu Yizhi's expression remained calm and he walked steadily up the stairs.

When Lu Yishang came up, the emperor and several other courtiers were watching the scenery on the terrace. The entire imperial city was at their feet, and the wind was blowing snow flying around them. It was indeed like flying in the sky.

Only Liu Yan and Huo Lian were not looking at the scenery. Liu Yan was looking at the attic seriously, staring at the wooden frame on the top of the beams, while Huo Lian was only looking at the emperor. It was too high here to prevent anything wrong.

Seeing him looking over, Liu Yan ignored it without realizing it, while Huo Lian looked at him.

Governor Huo was indeed alert and seemed to be able to see through him from head to toe. Lu Yizhi quickly lowered his gaze and saluted the emperor.

"The strangeness is coming, come and take a look at this scenery." The emperor said with a smile, "I will write a good poem in a while."

Lu Yizhi responded to the order and did not have the reserve of the New Hanlin. He followed the instructions and stood over to look outside.

"Master Liu," the emperor said again, "don't always look at the pillars inside, the scenery is outside."

Liu Yan said: "With these beams and pillars, the scenery outside is possible."

Several ministers laughed.

The emperor also shook his head. Knowing Liu Yan's temper, he ignored him and continued to look outside.

Huo Lian suddenly walked in, followed Liu Yan's gaze and asked, "Does it look good?"

Liu Yan looked back at him and nodded: "It looks good." He then asked, "Does the governor know the beauty of architecture?"

Huo Lian did not answer, but asked: "Does Mr. Liu still have research on construction?"

Liu Yan looked upward again: "Being able to block wind and rain, being able to build strong walls to protect people, and being able to stand high and see far away is something that benefits all people. I am interested in anything that benefits all people."

Huo Lian said, "No wonder you are interested in Momen." After saying this, she turned around and walked away.

Liu Yan glanced at him, did not follow him, and did not look inside the attic anymore. He turned around and walked to the emperor's side and looked into the distance. He could see people walking around outside the imperial city like ants. The emperor and officials were listening.

The admiration and the inquiries from the five princes-in-law.

"Your Majesty, can I do this well?"

The emperor laughed and said, "Yes, very well. I will give the princess a reward right now, so that everyone will know about the prince-in-law's merits, and also let the imperial sister know that she has married a good husband."

The fifth prince-in-law smiled shyly and leaned over to salute: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."





The snow was not heavy at first, but it stopped after returning to Xiunesi.

Qixing stood on the porch and looked out.

"Ah Qi is done with his work. You should go back when you should." Liu Tongshi said, "Go back and have a good rest."

Qixing looked back at him and asked: "Master Liu, you don't have to wait for His Majesty to summon you. Do you have anything to ask?"

Before Liu Tongshi could speak, the craftsman next to him spoke first: "Ah Qi, you are thinking too much. How can we see His Majesty? Your Majesty will ask the adults if you have any questions. If there is a reward..."

Before he finished speaking, an official came running outside the door and shouted, "Your Majesty's reward has arrived."

Liu Tongshi hurriedly responded and greeted everyone, and the craftsmen also came out and stood in the yard.

Qixing stood at the end, watching several officials bring in a box of large money. Everyone stepped forward to receive a bunch in turn. The money was new money tied with a yellow rope, indicating that it was a gift from the emperor.

Every craftsman took it and gave thanks.

Qixing also lined up, and the previous craftsman stood in front of her, turning his head and continuing in a low voice.

"…..The rewards are carried over by the officials. After receiving them, everyone can just thank the Emperor for his kindness. If the fortifications are done badly and we need to be held accountable, the same is true. The officials can just take us away and put us in jail. We don’t have to see His Majesty for rewards and punishments.

of."

He said and laughed softly.

"How can we craftsmen be qualified to meet His Majesty?"

Qixing Oh made it clear. It was her turn now. When he saw it was her, an official smiled.

"Miss Ah Qi," he said. In addition to handing over a bunch of money, he also asked someone to take out a tray with three pieces of brocade piled on it. "You are the chief craftsman this time. Mr. Liu asked your Majesty to reward you with three pieces of brocade."

A piece of palace satin."

Qixing looked at the three pieces of palace satin and did not move.

Lost in surprise? Liu Tongshi said hurriedly: "Ah Qi, please thank me."

Qixing then took the palace silk to express his gratitude.

After the rewards were given, the officials all dispersed, and the craftsmen also got a few days off, and happily returned home with the rewards.

Liu Tongshi personally sent Qixing to him and said, "Fifth Prince Consort is really a good person. His Majesty mentioned your name, which is considered a blessing. You go back and put the money and Gong Duo in the shop. Linglongfang is absolutely unparalleled in the capital."

People dare to come and stir up trouble."

Qixing said: "Thank you very much, Liu Tongshi. If Liu Tongshi hadn't recognized me, I wouldn't have been able to do such a big fortification."

Liu Tongshi laughed: "We are all members of the same family. You are welcome. Next time there is a big fortification project, our repair department will definitely invite you."

Qixing nodded in response and walked out of Xiunesi. She turned back and looked again. The imperial city covered with a thin layer of snow became more and more gorgeous.





As soon as he entered the house, the boys rushed over, took off Lu Yizhi's cloak, handed him a hot towel, and after wiping him, brought him a hand stove.

"It's very cold today," the boy said, and then asked, "Young Master came back early today."

Lu Yizhi sat down and said, "Your Majesty is not busy today and has gone to enjoy the scenery, so everyone left early."

The young man was overjoyed: "Young Master is accompanying the Holy Spirit today. It's great."

There are so many officials in the imperial court, but not many of them can see His Majesty often.

Lu Yizhi hummed: "Yes, that's great." After saying that, he gently pressed his forehead.

Good is really good, bad is also bad.

After the construction of Guanxing Pavilion was completed, Qixing was in front of us again.
