The seventeenth year of Zhiyuan came at such a heavy time. It seemed that many people were not in the mood to celebrate the New Year because of their heavy hearts. It was really far-fetched to celebrate the New Year at this time. The entire Anxi Palace was worried because the princess was seriously ill.
It is simple and peaceful. The New Year, which was supposed to be festive, seems to have lost so much flavor because of this.
On the night of New Year's Eve, it was stormy and snowy. I wonder if this indicates that the coming year will be an eventful one.
Despite this, the courtyard where Mrs. Zhang lives is still quite lively. The servants who serve Mrs. Zhang are all Han Chinese. It would be good to celebrate the New Year lively at this time. Therefore, the servants also put on their clothes.
Wearing brightly colored clothes, they all wore smiles when we met. We each went to the small kitchen to cook our specialty dishes, and gathered together to eat some food and drink some wine.
The door was pushed open from the outside, and Hu Gechi walked in covered in snow. The originally warm atmosphere in the room suddenly stopped, and everyone focused their eyes on Hu Gechi's face.
"snort……"
General Zhang looked away and snorted coldly.
Arnold showed an apologetic smile to Hu Gechi, "Is it snowing heavily outside?"
"Yes." Hu Gechi responded calmly.
Mrs. Zhang gently pulled General Zhang, and then smiled at Brother Hu Chidao, "Come in and sit down, it's so cold outside."
"I'm just here to take Arnold back to rest, so I won't sit down." Hu Gechi said in a cold tone, which seemed to be colder than the air outside the house.
Arnold glanced at his mother helplessly, and Mrs. Zhang nodded with a faint smile.
"Then go back quickly. It's getting late, and it's not easy to walk on the snowy road." Mrs. Zhang stood up and pulled up Arnold, who was still sitting. "It's not too late to come over tomorrow morning. You don't need to accompany me today."
Stay up late with your dad."
Arnold nodded, saluted General Zhang, and then turned to look at his mother, "Mom, don't be too late to meet dad. Dad's health is not good, so let him drink less alcohol."
Mrs. Zhang nodded and waved her hand, "Go back!" She glanced at the burning small clay stove, and the warm wine on it was exuding a fragrance. "Mother knows."
Seeing that Mrs. Zhang seemed a little absent-minded, Arnold didn't say anything more. He glanced sideways at Hu Gechi and let Hu Gechi take her fox fur cloak and put it on her body.
As soon as he went out, Xue rushed towards him with his head covered. He thoughtfully covered his face with one arm, blocking the wind and snow from the thick cloak.
"The wind and snow are a bit heavy, put on your hat!" Hu Gechi said and reached out to help Arnold put on his hat. The cloak made of fox fur was very warm. Although it was snowing heavily, Arnold didn't feel too cold.
.
It had only been raining for a short time, and a thick layer had already accumulated in the yard.
"This slave has met the prince and the princess."
Suddenly, a little maid ran into the yard, with snow on her body and head.
"What's the matter?" Brother Hu gave the little maid a cold look, his face not very good. In such a cold weather, he didn't want anything to happen that required Arnold to run around.
The little maid couldn't help but trembled, "It's our princess who woke up and said she had something to talk to Princess Yunnan."
Arnold's face lit up with joy, "Are you really awake?" This is really good news. She was still with Xu Xiaomo in the afternoon, but at that time she had no intention of waking up. Now she wakes up at this time
Coming over, Arnold finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he continued to fall into a coma, he might not be able to sustain it even if he was given decoction and medicine every day.
