A Luo also discovered where they were at the moment and said: "Master, since we are here, why not go see if the cat is still there?"
Xianyue thought about it and said, "Okay, just go and have a look."
After arriving at the right door of Changkang, Aluo saw a fine sable cloak thrown on the ground. He was wondering who had thrown the cloak here, and a subtle voice came to his ears, "Mother...Mother...Mother...
…”
Xianyue also heard this voice. When she listened closely, she saw a small figure with her hands folded, huddled in the corner. Her hair and coat were covered with snow. She looked white, even her eyebrows looked so real.
It was a bit funny. Although the little face was blue from the cold, Xianyue still recognized Yonglian at a glance. She quickly took the umbrella from A Luo and walked to him. While patting the snow off his body, she said
: "Second brother, why are you here?"
"I...giggle...I'm here...to feed the cat, and...to wait for the queen..." Yong Lian was trembling with cold, and her upper and lower teeth kept chattering.
"What are you doing out there when it snows so heavily? What if you get frostbite? Those palace officials are really saying that it's too much to let you go out alone in this kind of weather." After talking like this,
She added: "And you, you don't know how to bring an umbrella when you go out. You will be six years old in two months. Don't you even understand this?"
Yong Lian looked up at Xianyue and said in a trembling voice: "Yong Lian... I know I was wrong. Please don't be angry, my empress."
Xianyue said angrily: "You, I really don't know what to say to you. Here, take this hand warmer and warm yourself up. Don't get really sick later."
Yong Lian was really cold, so he took the hand warmer and hugged him tightly, easing his frozen body. A Luo looked at the sable cloak on the ground and said, "Brother Six, this cloak is yours, right? Why?"
Throw it on the ground?"
When A Luo was about to pick it up, Yong Lian said urgently: "Stop... stop! Don't go and pick it up!"
A Luo was so frightened by him that he quickly retracted the hand that was about to touch the cloak and stood there at a loss, not knowing what he said wrong.
Seeing this, Xianyue said, "Second brother, why don't you let A Luo pick up the cloak for you? Even if you don't like it, wearing it on your body can keep out the cold, don't you think?"
After drying for a while, Yonglian felt better and said: "This is for that cat. It...it was shivering all the time from the cold and couldn't even walk, so...so I took off the cloak."
If you give it to Aluo, it will scare it away, and it will freeze to death if there is nothing to keep it warm."
Listening to his words, Xianyue shook her head and said: "But if you give it the cloak, you will catch the cold. It's just a cat. If it dies, it will die. It's no big deal."
Upon hearing this, Yonglian said excitedly: "No, it can't die. My wife and I have fed it for so long, it should be alive, it can't die!"
"Okay, okay, I'm free to say whatever I want." After Xianyue reassured him, she took off her cloak and put it on him.
Yong Lian looked around at the oversized cloak on his body and said in astonishment: "Empress?"
Xianyue tied the belt and said: "Since you are unwilling to take the cloak back, I have no choice but to give you my own cloak. But you are not allowed to refuse, unless you want the Queen to know that you sneaked out to feed the cat.
"After Yonglian nodded, she took the already warm little hand and said: "Let's go, let's go to Qianqiu Pavilion and sit for a while."
Yong Lian obediently followed her to the pavilion, and then returned the hand warmer to Xianyue, "Mother, I have already warmed myself. You can take this."
Xianyue did not refuse, and said in a stern voice: "Since you have fed the cat and given it the cloak, why don't you go back? Do you really have to get cold to be happy?"
"No." Yong Lian shook his head quickly, and then said: "Yong Lian is just afraid that if he leaves like this, the empress will not see Yong Lian when she comes, and she will think that Yong Lian did not come today and break her trust with the empress."
Xianyue didn't expect that the reason why he was willing to stand in the heavy snow and suffer the cold was because of himself. For a moment, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart. After a while, he said: "Such a big
Snow, even if it doesn’t come, it doesn’t matter.”
"No, Mr. Dong said: One should keep one's word and one should not break one's trust, otherwise one will not be able to stand in the world. Although Yong Lian didn't understand the last sentence very well, he still knew what he meant when he said it.
"Mr. Dong is the bachelor who taught Yong Lian's elder brothers knowledge."
What a child less than six years old said made Xianyue speechless. Especially when she thought that she had no intention of coming here before, she felt even more ashamed, "Then if I never come, you will always be prepared to come."
Are you going to wait like this?"
"No!" Yonglian replied without thinking, "Because I believe the empress will definitely come."
Xianyue chuckled and shook her head, caressing Yonglian's pink cheek and said: "What a silly boy. But even if you go back, I will know that you have been here before."
"Why?" Yonglian opened his eyes wide and looked at Xianyue curiously, who smiled and said: "Didn't you throw the cloak on the ground to keep the cat warm? I will know it as long as I see the cloak."
Yong Lian tilted his head and thought for a while, then picked at his cheek and smiled sheepishly: "What you said is true, I didn't expect it."
Looking at his cute and innocent look, Xianyue couldn't help laughing, "Okay, okay, I won't talk about you anymore. Go back quickly. This cloak is long. Be careful not to step on your feet."
.Your cloak, after the snow stops, I will ask someone to pick it up and deliver it to you. If the Queen discovered it before, just say that you accidentally pulled it off when you came here."
"Well, Yong Lian knows. Thank you, your Majesty. Yong Lian will leave." After bending down and bowing, Yong Lian turned and left. When he was about to leave the pavilion, Xianyue called him and said, "Take the umbrella."
With."
Before A Luo handed over the umbrella, Yong Lian shook his head and said, "The empress has already given the cloak to Yong Lian. If she gives the umbrella to her again, how will the empress go back?"
"I have my own way, just take it. If you don't agree, I won't accompany you here to feed you."
Seeing what she said, Yong Lian had no choice but to take the umbrella as she was told, and said with gratitude: "Your Majesty treats Yong Lian very well."
"Go back. It's snowing heavily these days, so don't come here. I will send someone to feed the cat here. You don't have to worry. Come back when the weather clears."
"Well, Yong Lian knows." Yong Lian bowed again and left the pavilion holding an umbrella.
After he had gone far, A Luo said: "Although the second elder brother is young, he is extremely sensible, which is really rare. Sometimes when listening to his words, the slave will mistakenly think that the second elder brother is seven or eight years old.
