Hong Zhou was overjoyed and asked with great expectation: "Mom, can I go build a snowman with my fourth brother?"
Yubi looked at the heavy snowfall and did not immediately agree. Instead, she turned her attention to Lingruo. She could be Hongzhou's boss but not Hongli's boss.
Ling Ruo glanced at Hongli who was also full of expectations and said: "Go, don't play for too long, and take good care of Hong Zhou and don't let him fall."
"I know." Hongli happily agreed and pulled Hongzhou to run into the courtyard. Shuixiu and the palace maid who came with Yu's concubine quickly followed up, holding umbrellas to shield the two elder brothers from the snowflakes on their heads.
Hongli and Hongzhou happily squatted on the ground and built a snowman. During this period, they threw snowballs at each other from time to time, and their clear and cheerful laughter resounded throughout the world. These two brothers, who are similar in age, are so close for the first time, but they don’t know
Is it because similar blood flows in the body, there is no sense of unfamiliarity at all.
"Sister taught Hong Zhou well." Looking at the two brothers playing in the snow, Ling Ruo suddenly said this.
Yubi lowered her head and stroked the shiny and soft fur on her sleeves, and said softly: "I have taught Hong Zhou a lot, but I can't do it myself." Seeing Ling Ruo looking over curiously, she said with a slight blush on her face: "
Hongli was beaten by his third brother because of Hongzhou, but I did not have the courage to stand up and plead with Concubine Nian."
"This is human nature. What's more, in this palace, what is most needed is to be wise and protect yourself. My sister does not need to care." How you treat others cannot ask others to treat you. There is never absolute fairness in this world. Not to mention Yubi.
Being able to say this in front of her is already a rare thing.
Yu Concubine was not relieved by these words, but felt even more guilty, "My Lady, in your opinion, am I a coward?"
"Why do you ask?" Ling Ruo asked. Snow drifted in from outside the eaves and blew on his face, giving it an icy coolness.
"I never dare to fight with others, nor do I dare to ask for anything. I just hope that I can live in peace with Hong Zhou. For the past ten years, I have always thought that I was right, until that day when I went to the study,
Hong Zhouzhi asked my concubine, but she was speechless."
"Children are not sensible, let alone my sister." Ling Ruo wiped away the snow on her face and said calmly: "Everyone has their own way of survival. My sister can raise Hong Zhou safely, which is enough to prove that you are not
That's right. Hong Zhou is young and can't understand your painstaking efforts. Wait for him
You will naturally understand when you grow up. Besides..." She turned her head and showed a smile as bright as the morning sun, "My sister always interceded for Hongli that day. I will keep this kindness in my heart." Everything,
She had already heard Hongli say it himself, and she knew what was right and wrong.
"My concubine said this, which makes me even more ashamed. When it comes to kindness, I should remember the kindness between my queen and my fourth brother." Yubi said with a sincere expression.
Ling Ruo smiled and turned her gaze back to Hongli and the two of them. They had already built a snowman's body, and now the two brothers were working together to build a head. "I'll take Hongzhou here for a walk if I have time later. I haven't seen him for a long time."
I’m so happy to see Hongli so happy.”
"I know." The same smile appeared on Yubi's face, looking at Hongzhou in the snow, her eyes filled with a loving smile. She has been trying hard to protect Hongzhou from any harm, but gradually
Yes, as Hong Zhou grew up, she began to feel powerless
Heart. This incident has sounded the alarm for her. No matter how unwilling she is, she has already offended Nian. It may become a luxury to think about a peaceful life in the future. How can she herself?
It's not that I care too much, I'm just worried that Hong Zhou will be hurt.
Forbearing in every possible way may bring peace of mind for a while, but it won't buy it forever. Therefore, she couldn't wait to find another layer of protection for Hong Zhou, and the only suitable candidate in the palace was Concubine Xi. She went to the study.
The scene in which Hongli protected Hongzhou also left a deep impression on her. Concubine Xi said that she taught Hongzhou well, but in fact, it was Hongli who was truly taught well.
I believe that Concubine Xi's intelligence must have seen through her thoughts, but she did not object and even asked her to bring Hong Zhou over. In other words, Concubine Xi acquiesced.
"Mom, would you like to see the snowman that my fifth brother and I built?" Hongli ran in and asked Ling Ruo with a smile on his face. He saw that a snowman had already taken shape. He was fat and round, standing in the courtyard, honest and cute. Hongli
I don’t know where I found two marbles and placed them on the snowman’s head as eyes, and a red pepper on the nose. The most ridiculous thing is that there is a flower stuck in the snowman’s head, which looks a bit funny.
Ling Ruo took Hongli's hands, which were red from the cold, and praised: "It looks good, but you should tell me who put the flowers on the snowman's head?"
Before Hong Li could say anything, Hong Zhou, who was resting beside Yu Bin, already chuckled, "I was the one who fucked her. Fourth brother refused to let her go at first."
"I shouldn't have been cheated in the first place. I'm just a snowman, but I was cheated by a flower like you. When have you ever seen someone do this?" Hong Li glared at Hong Zhou, who made a grimace and shouted: "
It’s just because I don’t have it. Whenever I see a snowman like this in the future, others will know that it was me and my fourth brother who built it.”
Hongli was too lazy to argue with him anymore and just let him go as he pleased. Anyway, he was having a great time making the snowman.
After Yubi wiped off the snow on Hongzhou's hands, she smiled slightly at Hongli and said, "Sir brother, Hongzhou's homework is not very good. There are often many things he doesn't understand. Can you teach him more in the future?"
"
Hongli also liked his only younger brother very much, and was about to agree immediately, but was afraid of Ling Ruo's objection, so he swallowed his words and looked at Ling Ruo. Ling Ruo smiled and said: "Eniang ordered the small kitchen to make snacks in the morning.
, it should be fine now, you take Hong Zhou to have a look, if he is fine, take a plate to the study, if there is anything Hong Zhou doesn’t understand, teach him hard, don’t be lazy."
"Yes." Hong Li happily agreed and pulled Hong Zhou towards the small kitchen. After they left, Ling Ruo and Yu Bin said, "If there is nothing in the palace, sister, just have lunch here before leaving."
Bar."
"Thank you, empress." Yubi promised meekly. In the past, she would never have stayed away from the concubines in the harem. But now, she has decided to find a better one for Hong Zhou.
The backer would naturally not dampen Concubine Xi's good intentions.
In this way, they stayed until the afternoon, and then Concubine Yu took Hong Zhou away. Looking at the figures of one large and one small walking away, Ling Ruo's red lips were slightly raised. When she was about to turn around and go back to the house, she saw Wen Ruyan coming in and hurriedly greeted her.
He smiled and said: "It's snowing so heavily, why did my sister come here?"
