Wei Jingxuan sneered and said: "As long as this can be done, I will have a way to let Xiuyan enter the palace." At this time, Qiaoyu happened to walk in. She said: "Qiaoyu, when you leave the palace tomorrow,
I'll drop by to see my father and ask him to ask for a book repair and to ask Aunt Xuanjing to come to the capital."
After what happened just now, Qiaoyu didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she agreed. Wei Jingxuan opened the door and walked into the courtyard. The weather was fine just now, but now thin snowflakes were flying. Mao Gui rubbed his hands behind her and said
: "This winter is really cold,
The servant heard that the area south of the Yangtze River encountered a severe cold that had not been seen in decades. Although the emperor allocated money from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the money was insufficient and often people could be saved here but not the other. People are still being killed alive to this day.
freeze to death."
Wei Jingxuan nodded slowly and said: "I have also heard that, is the money in the Ministry of Household Affairs really so short?"
"This servant doesn't know, but I do know that the emperor has allocated a lot of money to expand Ziyun Temple and Wanshou Temple, and the money has been allocated again and again. Some people speculate that the money for the expansion of these two places has exceeded the money for disaster relief. Before this slave,
When I left the palace, I made careful inquiries and found out that the people in the capital were quite critical of this, but they were intimidated by the imperial power and did not dare to say anything."
Hearing this, Wei Jingxuan sneered and said: "The Emperor has nothing to say about how good the twelfth elder brother is. He even puts the life and death of so many people after the twelfth elder brother. I am really curious. One day, the people of the world will know.
What will happen after the truth is revealed?"
Qiaoyu said with some reluctance: "If Concubine Ying hadn't caused trouble, the master would have seen it now; she and Concubine Hui are like two roadblocks, blocking the road in front of the master. It's really annoying."
Wei Jingxuan stretched out her hand under the eaves to catch the falling snowflakes, "Let them be proud for a while. In the future, they will not be able to laugh when Xiuyan enters the palace. I only care about the emperor now..." She looked at
He stared at the unattended palace gate not far away and said worriedly: "I don't know how long it will take before he is willing to see me again."
"The emperor gave the master food last night. It is obvious that he has changed his mind. Today, the master is in the emperor's favour. He specially sent a blessing bag to the twelfth elder brother. I believe that the emperor will summon the master before long."
"I hope so." Wei Jingxuan sighed softly. Although she had been with Hongli for many years, his heart was unpredictable. She still had not fully understood Hongli's temper. Otherwise, she would not have fallen out of favor this time.
Let's talk about Hongli's side. After leaving Liubeile Mansion, he did not go back to the palace directly, but went to the Zongren Mansion. However, Hongli only watched from a distance and did not alert anyone. Everyone in the Zongren Mansion did not know that the emperor and the empress were here.
nearby.
Xianyue silently held up an umbrella to block the snowflakes falling from the sky for Hongli. After a long time, Hongli looked back, took the umbrella in her hand and said, "Let's go."
Xianyue glanced at the high wall and suddenly said: "If the emperor really misses the third elder brother, let him out."
Hongli glanced at her in surprise, "Have you forgotten that he deliberately killed the tiger and almost killed you?"
Xianyue sighed softly and said: "I remember, but he is the emperor's son after all, and I don't want the emperor to be sad."
Hongli was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "There is nothing to be sad about. Let him repent and think about his mistakes here."
Seeing what he said, Xianyue stopped talking and went back to Kunning Palace with him. As soon as she stepped into the palace gate, she saw Yongxuan not holding an umbrella, just standing upright in the yard with her hair on her head.
Their shoulders were already covered with a thin layer of snow. Yong Cang and the others were covering their mouths and laughing under the eaves. When they saw them coming in, they quickly stepped forward to salute.
Xianyue glanced at them and said, "Yongzhen, are you teasing Brother Jiu again?"
Yong Cun heard this and said quickly: "It has nothing to do with Er Chen. It's Brother Ten who insists on standing in the snow. Er Chen and He Jia have tried to persuade him, but Brother Ninth refuses to listen, and Er Chen can't do anything."
Xianyue scolded: "Nonsense, who would deliberately stand outside when it's snowing?"
Yongxuan, who was covered in snow, said in a trembling voice: "Huang'e, please don't blame the twelfth brother. It was indeed the son who wanted to stand in the snow. Li Jing found a martial arts secret book and said that as long as you follow the instructions on it,
If you practice the secret method, you will not be afraid of cold or heat, and you will even be invulnerable to swords and guns.
Come on, I have been practicing for a while, and it is snowing now, so I can try it." Li Jing is his personal eunuch. Yongxuan has been obsessed with martial arts since he was a child, and always tries to find ways to let Li Jing collect those so-called
Martial arts secrets, and then practice according to them.
He Jia ran to Hongli and said softly: "Huang Ama, Erchen, Eleventh Brother, and Twelfth Brother all told Ninth Brother that the secret book was a lie, and Ninth Brother just didn't believe it, so Erchen and
Brother Eleven and the others made a bet to see how long Brother Nine can hold on."
Hongli only got Hejia when he was over forty years old. He doted on her and said with a smile: "How long will you be gambling for?"
He Jiajiao smiled naively and said: "I bet that Brother Ninth can only stand for half an hour. Brother Eleven and Brother Twelve bet an incense stick and an hour respectively. If who loses, he will have to stick a big sign on his back."
turtle."
"You guys are really making nonsense!" Hongli pinched Hejia's nose, and then said to Yongxuan: "Those secret books are all bluffs, how can I believe them? Look at you, your face is blue, then
Let me go in."
Yongxuan tried hard to hold back the shivers and said: "I, Chen...it's not cold, I, Chen, hold on...ah, no!" He wanted to say that he could hold on, but he sneezed, and the chill that enveloped his body became deeper and deeper.
Xianyue brushed off the snow on his body for him and said: "Look at you, you are already like this. If you continue to stand, you will be sick like the sixth brother. Listen to your emperor's words and go in quickly."
Hearing this, Yongxun said quickly: "Huang'e Niang, how is Sixth Brother? Does it matter? Ninth Brother and I both want to take a look."
"Your sixth brother just caught the cold and the wind evil entered his body. As long as he takes a good rest, he will be fine." With that said, Xianyue urged them to go in.
Yongxuan was indeed too cold to bear, so he immediately followed them into the house. When he saw Yongxuan standing in front of the charcoal basin to keep warm, Hejia tilted his head and said, "Brother Ten only stood for half a stick of incense. That's enough."
Who won?"
Yongxun took over and said: "I bet a stick of incense, and the result is the closest. Of course, I win. You two have been like a turtle all day long."
He Jia made a face and said: "How can you think so, you Twelve Brother is a shameless person."
"That's right, that's not fair." As soon as Yongxuan thought of sticking to Wugui, he quickly spoke to Hejia. The three of them were arguing endlessly. After a while, they suddenly stopped arguing. They stood around not knowing what to say.
One
After a while, Yongxuan asked Li Qi to get pen, ink and glue. After the painting was completed, the three of them came behind Yongxuan and stuck the paper with the turtle on his back firmly. Before Yongxuan could tear it up, the three of them had already
