I don't know if it's getting tired of snowing, or what, but it's exceptionally sunny today. The remaining snow is covered with animal heads on the eaves, and on the paths and terraces everywhere, there are palace people sweeping the snow.
Above the court, everyone was solemn and respectful.
This severe cold was unprecedented since the founding of the country and the capital was established. Officials in various places could be said to be facing a formidable enemy. Where could they dare to relax, memorials were flying like snowflakes all over the sky.
Fortunately, after the new emperor and his concubine paid a private visit in disguise, the weather showed signs of warming up a little. In addition, grain, oil, rice and noodles were distributed to the people in various places. Although it was an unforgettable waste of manpower and material resources, it brought peace to the people.
The owner of the inn where the children stayed before also started a prosperous business using the gimmick that he had visited here before.
As for the investigation of corrupt officials, many moths have been uprooted. If there are still some missing, I am afraid that we will not dare to do this again for a while.
Jiang Huaiyang glanced at the crowd of ministers below and said, "If you have the right to start, you will withdraw from the court if nothing happens."
There was silence in the palace, and the ministers looked at each other in confusion.
Seeing this situation, he naturally announced his resignation. He got off the side, changed his regular clothes, and then walked out.
There were two ministers at the door, talking back and forth. One of them cupped his hands and said, "Brother Zhao is very happy, and I haven't come to congratulate you yet. I will express my feelings for a while now, and I will be free in a few days, and then I will go to your mansion to congratulate you."
Not too late."
The person he was talking to laughed loudly, "It's easy to talk about. But these children change very quickly. They are different every day. When the time comes, I'm afraid they will all crawl."
"Your family is happy to have a son. I will engrave this appointment on my forehead. No matter what, I will not forget it like last time. When the time comes, there will be no gold, silver, pearls, and jade that I will not offer to the young master."
The minister said "Hey" and waved his hand, "What is the use of this gold and jade for a child..." He talked carefully, his face was full of joy, and he did not notice that the new emperor stood behind the door for a long time.
Every word of their conversation fell into Jiang Huaiyang's ears, which made him think about the fragrant and beautiful young lady in Chang'an Palace.
He felt guilty towards the Ruan family, and now that she had given birth to her, he felt guilty. He couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried, but he felt at a loss what to do.
Wen Zhi, who was standing by the side, saw the two ministers chatting among themselves and pretended to clear his throat.
The two people were startled, quickly stopped talking, turned around and saluted.
He motioned for the two of them to level up and walked away, his clothes drawing an arc behind him.
.
The warm and noisy day can always easily arouse people's desire to go out, so Ruan Yuyi thought of taking advantage of this day to fulfill the promise she made to Rong Bin to enjoy the flowers a few days ago.
She prepared tea snacks, fruits, tea and wine utensils, etc. When she went to the Huxin Pavilion, Concubine Rong was already waiting there.
There is still thin ice on the lake, which looks like a layer of colored glaze. It reflects the sunlight and is very crystal clear. There are some white plums planted on the edge, and only the pistils have some color. They blend with the snow and seem to be bloated.
Made a circle.
She walked carefully on the stone path.
She didn't want her concubine to come and go with her in the same way. Seeing that there was no one around, he held her hand first and didn't ask her to lean over.
Concubine Rong glanced back, saw the box of tea sets and other items, and said with a smile, "My sister is a very elegant person. Today, I can just enjoy it."
The two of them sat together at the stone table in the pavilion. Fearing that the stone benches would be cold, a palace official prepared an embroidery cover for them.
All the things he had brought were laid out, and some palace servants were fanning the stove and making tea.
Concubine Rong kept looking at her belly. When the palace servants brought hot tea, she glanced into the cup and said, "This green tea is cold in nature, but my sister can't eat it."
Ruan Yuyi was startled and lowered her eyes, "It's just one or two, don't be greedy." Her thin white fingertips grasped the material on her belly, tightening it tighter and tighter until her finger bones turned white.
I don’t know if it’s true or not, but I don’t care what it does.
What's more, being born without expectations is more like a shackle to her than a person to rely on for the rest of her life. It is more like a shackle to her, reminding her all the time:
She can no longer escape.
Rong Bin was startled and hurriedly stood up, covered her hand, and slowly shook her head at her. As if she had just woken up from a dream, she relaxed her strength, paused, and smoothed the wrinkles on her clothes.
"It's fine if my sister doesn't like it. It's time to think about it for yourself." Rong Bin advised softly. Murdering the emperor's heir is a serious crime and you should never have such thoughts.
She was clear in her heart, but she still couldn't help feeling anxious and uneasy. Now she was indeed in the prime of his life, but she wasn't sure how long his interest would last.
She almost fell out of control time and time again, and pulled herself away again and again, just so that she would feel better when she lost favor.
As for this child, she didn't want to bring it into this deep palace and suffer the same pain as her. She would rather have no one to rely on in the future.
She responded in a low voice, "Sister taught me a lesson."
"I don't dare to accept the word 'teaching'. I only punish you by eating this fruit, so that I can get better." Rong Bin felt relieved. She knew that this sister was very understanding, so she wanted to give her a lesson.
I understand.
This small noodle fruit is fried in butter, with a slight golden color on top, and it is not sticky when held in the hand. Ruan Yuyi bit off half of it, and felt the fragrance lingering on her lips and teeth.
The two of them chatted and chatted, and when they remembered it, they touched one and put it in their mouths, but it was quite empty.
But after all, it was outside his own palace. Although it was quiet here, it was hard to restrict others from passing by. Bai Zhiqi was the one who wanted to disturb the peace of the two.
Last time at the palace banquet, she lost face to the Queen Mother, so she was asked to stay in Cining Palace and was not allowed to go out without permission. After begging the Queen Mother for a long time, she finally got the chance to go out.
Regardless of whether she was invited or not, she slowly walked into the pavilion.
"I've seen Concubine Jin, I've seen Concubine Rong." She bowed. The shadow on her face due to the previous incident had long since disappeared, and she looked rosy and rosy again.
Ruan Yuyi was too lazy to move, thinking that she wouldn't be able to stay long, so she said, "If Miss Bai is free, why don't you sit down for a while."
It was originally a polite word, but Bai Zhiqi responded with a smile and found a seat to sit down.
"Suddenly I heard that my sister is pregnant. My sister came late to congratulate me and didn't bring any gifts. Shouldn't my sister blame me?"
She knew what Bai Zhiqi was thinking about the new emperor. Seeing that her expression was as usual, not the slightest bit strange, she felt a strange feeling in her heart.
She didn't answer, only said, "This pastry is good." She pushed a box containing pastries towards Bai Zhiqi, but she didn't see him pouring tea.
Bai Zhiqi nodded and thanked, "But it has been some time since Your Majesty exempted my sister from the decoction. My sister just got seriously ill before, so don't make any mistakes again."
Is this a vague curse? Muxiang continued, "Miss Bai doesn't know something. Our empress's body has its own medical treatment. Now that I have told you, you can stop worrying about Dr. Ning."
.”
The smile on Bai Zhiqi's lips froze, and she put on a weak and lovely look again.
