Cen Xue didn't wake up until the sun was shining for three hours. The place around her was already cold, which showed that Helianzhi had already gotten up to go to court.
"Master, you're awake. It's almost noon now. You've been sleeping later and later lately. Do you need to ask Dr. Keser to check your Ping An pulse?" Lan Qier helped her up with some worry and brought it to her.
The clothes were waiting for her to put on.
"No, it's just that I've been tired recently. I've been busy with Yu Wu's affairs. I feel like I haven't had any rest, so I'm sleeping more deeply. It's okay. I don't need to bother Dr. Keser. He is old. In this world of ice and snow, let's
It's not good for him to run around." Cen Xue refused.
"Okay, let Lan Qi'er help you freshen up." Lan Qi'er asked the palace maid to prepare the hot water, wring out the towel and hand it to her.
She washed her face comfortably, sipped her mouth, and then the table was filled with all kinds of delicacies. She also had a very good appetite recently. She ate so much and it was so delicious that it made her grow a circle around her waist.
of fat.
Outside the door, Zhao Changde led several young eunuchs and waited outside the door holding some fine silks. After Lan Qier made an announcement, they walked in one after another.
"My Lady, these are the finest silks and satins. The new year is about to begin. I have been busy with the silks, satins and furs that the barbarian tribes sent as tribute the day before yesterday. I have been busy with Miss Yuwu's wedding, and I forgot to give them to you to choose from.
, the king said, let you choose and let the clothing store make some new clothes for you immediately." Zhao Changde asked the young eunuchs to stand in a row for her to choose.
Cen Xue looked at the silks and satins in their hands. The color and style of each piece were her favorite. It seemed that Zhao Changde had already figured out her preferences.
Walking up to them, she reached out and felt the texture of these silks and satins. They were very skin-friendly and soft. They were indeed the finest silks and satins made by hand. The quality was indeed first-rate. She selected a few that she liked better and asked Zhao Changde to write them down.
, just order him to be sent directly to the garment warehouse.
Now in the harem, she is the only concubine of the king, and everything is exclusive to her. Helianzhi also likes such a life, he treats her wholeheartedly and loves her.
"Ayawn -" Cen Xue rubbed her red nose. The weather has been getting colder and colder recently. Although it didn't snow, she felt a gust of cold wind when she walked out the door.
"Master, let's have a cup of hot tea." Lan Qier immediately brought hot tea and asked the palace maid to add some charcoal to the stove to make the room warmer.
"Hey, I wonder how Yu Wu is doing now. She should be back today, right?" Although she was in the palace, her thoughts had already flown outside the palace.
"Master, don't worry. Miss Yuwu and Mr. Yuwen must be inseparable now. Don't worry about it. Just pay attention to your own body." Lan Qier stuffed another heating bag into her arms.
Cen Xue looked at this ghost girl and became more and more bold. However, it can be seen from what happened that Lan Qier is a girl who really cares about her. In two years, she will definitely find someone for her.
A good man, let her go out of the palace and get married, so you don't have to stay with her all your life, alone and alone.
"You're right, they are married now, so you don't have to worry about it anymore. You have other tasks to do now, so you can't be distracted." A rich voice came from the direction of the door, Helianzhi dealt with it.
After finishing the memorial, he left and rushed back to be with her.
"Your Majesty..." Lan Qi'er quickly saluted and stepped forward to take the cloak that Helianzhi took off.
He sat down on the wool mat with her, wrapped his arms around her body, surrounded her with his thick body, and protected her in his arms.
"Zhi, you just said that I have other tasks to do, what is it?" As soon as he sat down, Cen Xue looked at him expectantly.
He Lianzhi ignored the presence of others, lowered his head and touched her lips, slightly raising the corners of his lips, "Why have you forgotten what Gu said before? After the new year, Gu will make you his queen, leave now.
There are not many days left in the new year, and we have to start planning our wedding first, right?"
After listening to his words, Cen Xue lowered her head, leaned into his arms, and stuffed her hands into his big palms: "Why are you anxious? Let's wait until the new year and the weather gets warmer to get ready.
"
"What - we have to wait a few months for the weather to get warmer. I don't agree with it, and I can't wait any longer." He Lianzhi objected. If he could, he would make her his queen immediately tomorrow.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I promise you, but what can I do now?" She has no experience in this kind of thing.
Seeing her compromise, Helianzhi immediately slapped her on the face and hugged her tightly.
"Now you ask the clothing store to come up with drawings of the styles of your wedding dress for you to choose. After you have chosen them, let them start to make them immediately. Whatever you like, I will give you what you want. It will definitely make all women
I all envy you." Helianzhi could not wait for that day to come.
"Thank you, Zhi..." Cen Xue snuggled into his arms with a happy face, her eyes filled with unstoppable joy.

The snow was falling, and a carriage was speeding in the cold wind. A well-dressed man in the car was holding a glass of wine in his hand, drinking it comfortably, with a slight smile on his lips. It was impossible to tell what was in his heart.
What are you thinking about?
"Your Majesty, we are back to the capital soon." The coachman's voice sounded outside the carriage.
"Well, go back to the palace directly." The man put down his wine glass, but kept looking forward.
It turned out that there was a slender woman sitting directly opposite him. The woman covered her face with a veil from the man's eyes, revealing only a pair of tightly closed eyes.
She had long eyelashes and her skin was a healthy wheat color, not as fair as ordinary women. She seemed to be concentrating with her eyes closed, sitting opposite the man without saying a word.
Half an hour later, the carriage entered the capital of Loulan Kingdom from the east of the city, ran straight on the main road, and finally stopped at Prince Su's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, we're here." The coachman's voice sounded again.
The man opened the curtain of the carriage, looked outside, then turned to the woman in front of him and said, "Zana, we are here."
After hearing his words, the woman slowly opened her closed eyes, and the name Zana in her mouth was exactly her name.
The two got off the carriage one after another. At this moment, a middle-aged man who seemed to be about forty years old ran out from the palace, followed by several servants and maids. As soon as they went out, they saw the man in front of the carriage.
He immediately said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are finally back."
The man glanced at the group of people in front of him, turned around and said to the woman behind him: "This is my palace."
There was no expression on the woman's face. She nodded to indicate that she heard what he said, and then followed him into the palace!
"Butler, go and tidy up the west wing. Miss Zana will live in the west wing from now on." As he walked, he ordered the housekeeper who was following closely behind him.
"Yes, Prince, don't worry, everything will be arranged properly." The butler listened carefully to the Prince's instructions.
Walking into the hall, the man sat directly on the main seat. He is the owner of this mansion, the second prince of Loulan Kingdom, Prince Su "He Lianqi"!
Shortly after Helianzhi ascended the throne and inherited the throne, he recovered Helianqi, who had been exiled and demoted to a commoner, and named him Prince Su, while Helianjue was also named Prince Yu, and each was rewarded with a mansion.
He has been with Yuwentai since he was a child.
So he often went to the battlefield with him. However, Helianqi had been living abroad for many years and knew nothing about government affairs. Soon after he was crowned Prince Su, he went out to travel around the country and only returned to Loulan to do some calculations.
It's been more than half a year.
"Zana, you will stay in my palace for the time being. When the king enters the palace tomorrow, I will look for an opportunity to recommend you to the king. What do you think?" Helianqi drank the hot tea brought by the maid.
, looked at her meaningfully.
Wearing a black dress, her face was covered with a black silk scarf, but her slender figure and crystal clear eyes made people want to guess the face under the black scarf.
, how exactly?
"Everything will be subject to the prince's arrangements." Zana replied coldly, still expressionless.
Helianqi looked at her with a frosty look on her face. No matter how attentive he was along the way, he never saw any change in her. Could it be because their tribe lived in Hanxiang Forest, and the severe cold climate there prompted them to change?
So cold and emotionless?
"In that case, then follow the housekeeper to the west wing to rest for a while. The maid will call you when you have dinner. Go to bed early tonight. We will enter the palace early tomorrow morning to see the king." Helianqi's gaze
He has never left her, but the feeling she showed was that of being thousands of miles away.
The housekeeper happened to come out at this moment. Zana stood up, ignoring the pair of hot eyes on the man surrounding her, and immediately left the hall with the housekeeper.
"Hmph~ The women of the Kuromu family are indeed quite cold, but I like..." Helianqi looked at her leaving back and said to himself.
Zana, whose full name is "Heimuzana", comes from the "Papaya tribe" living in Hanxiang Forest. Hanxiang Forest is an extremely cold place with a very steep terrain, surrounded by snow-capped mountains.
There is only a large dense forest in the center, and the Papaya tribe lives in that forest surrounded by snow-capped mountains.
In any tribe, there must be figures such as witch doctors or priests. In the Papaya tribe, the person who holds this position is the Blackwood family. The Blackwood family has a considerable status in the Papaya clan.
not just
Because the Kuroki family assumes the position of priest in the tribe, and more importantly, because if a woman from the Kuroki family wants to inherit the position of priest, she has to make a deal with the patron saint and give up her beauty in exchange for her skills.
