Mingruo saw Concubine Qian passively having a snowball fight, and soon she was buried in the snow...
I usually feel a little bored: "Let's go."
"Yeah." Si Haochen bent down with his back to Mingruo, "I'll carry you on my back."
The air is very fresh when the snow falls, and the crunching of the snow is fun: "Let's go for a walk."
"The snow on the embroidered shoes will melt and wet the shoes and socks." Si Haochen urged, "Come up quickly, I will carry you back slowly on my back."
"Okay." Mingruo jumped on her husband's back, took out an oil-paper umbrella with tassels from the space and held it up to keep out the snow.
Si Haochen carried Mingruo on his back and walked back to Kuntai Hall. It was already dark.
Eunuch Hai was wearing a fox fur coat, standing in the courtyard, instructing the young eunuch to hold the lamp: "Your Highness, the princess is back, the Supreme Emperor is in Dongnuan Pavilion."
"What are you doing?" Si Haochen put his wife on the porch.
"Play chess with Duke Jingguo." Eunuch Hai said cheerfully.
"Grandpa is here." Mingruo's eyes lit up and she walked towards the direction pointed by Eunuch Hai.
As soon as I walked under the window, I heard my grandfather say helplessly: "After finishing this plate, I have returned home. Madam has made mutton stew and is waiting for me to eat when I go back."
"Show me that you have the soup stewed by Madam? There is also a Buddha jumping over the wall that has been stewed for eight hours!" The Supreme Emperor's mind was also strange, "There is also your granddaughter here, huh!"
"..." The old prince was also speechless. The Supreme Emperor had no desire to compare with anyone...#@$&
"Your Majesty, Grandfather." Mingruo pushed the door open and asked, "How are you two fighting?"
"I didn't lose in the first game, and the Emperor didn't win in the second game. Now in this game, he wants to draw..." The upright Duke Jing had already described the situation of the battle as euphemistically as possible.
"Haha." Mingruo thought her grandfather was so cute, "Then let's play chess. Grandma should be worried if she returns home too late."
"Well, listen to me Ruo'er." Duke Jingguo said with a generous look, "Tie chess...Tie chess..."
"You had promised a draw, and I would have rewarded you with a cup of Buddha jumping over the wall. Now, go home and eat your mutton soup." The Supreme Emperor waved his hand.%&(&
"Wei Chen excuses himself." Duke Jingguo looked at his granddaughter with a smile, "Your uncle has sent back a lot of ham and dried mushrooms and has already sent them to the palace. If you like them, send someone to get them."
"Okay, I'll make ham cakes for you to eat." Mingruo remembered that her grandfather liked to eat salty snacks.
"Everything Ruo'er does is delicious." Before leaving the house, the old Duke asked Ming Ruo to go back to the Duke's mansion when he had time and cut her new clothes that she had worn for several years.
The Supreme Emperor tilted his head and said to Mr. Hai: "Xiao Haizi, set the food."
Dinner was put on the table quickly, and except for the Buddha jumping over the wall, the other dishes were very light.
"Girl, sit down." The Supreme Emperor waved to Mingruo.
Si Haochen took Mingruo and sat down opposite the Supreme Emperor. Eunuch Hai opened the lid of the stew pot, and the rich aroma, accompanied by the faint aroma of wine, spread out.
As soon as Si Haochen picked up the chopsticks, the Supreme Emperor asked: "How did things go?"
"Don't talk about unappetizing things during the meal." Si Haochen opened the stew pot in front of him. The Buddha Jumping Over the Wall smelled very fragrant, but the sea cucumber inside was very similar to the Gu worm...
His Royal Highness Prince Yun silently closed the lid of the stew pot and turned his head to look at his wife. He saw that the little princess was eating with gusto, and his admiration arose spontaneously. (Mingruo raised his chin proudly: What kind of scene have we, the surgeon, never seen?
Yes, the psychological quality is absolutely excellent.)
"The matter has been settled. As for the process, you don't want to know." Dr. Ming gave his husband a meaningful look.
In order to demonstrate his fearless masculinity, Si Haochen gritted his teeth and began to eat the Buddha in front of him and jump over the wall.
"Ahem." The Supreme Emperor originally wanted to hear something new, but seeing the brat's expression, he immediately changed his mind, "I don't want to know, let's have a meal... let's have a meal..."
In the Qifeng Palace, the prince and the princess were dining with the queen. Queen Chen looked at the familiar palace and people, but she felt as if she was in another world.
The Crown Princess's belly had swelled slightly, and she served soup to the Queen and the Prince with her own hands: "The Queen Mother and Your Highness have been working hard all the way, so Qingqing specially took a stick of century-old mountain ginseng to make soup to replenish the health of the Queen Mother and Your Highness."
"Qingqing is attentive." Chen Huanggong patted the back of the Crown Princess's hand twice, "The most important thing is that you take good care of yourself. You look thinner than before."
"My father and mother are not in the imperial capital, and His Highness is on an expedition again. Qingqing is really worried." The Crown Princess smiled lightly, "Everything is fine now. I can eat and sleep, and I will be able to recover soon."
.”
"This expedition went smoothly, thanks to Uncle Yun Huang for arranging everything carefully." The prince's mascot was not in vain. Although he did not do anything substantial, he at least saw the hardships of the soldiers. "My son, I will report to my father tomorrow morning.
, to reward the three armies."
"Yes." Queen Chen nodded, "Axi will prepare a generous gift and send it to Prince Yun's Mansion."
"My son plans to send it off in person." The prince had already decided to hug Uncle Yun's thigh tightly.
"Qingqing, please go with His Highness the Crown Prince. My former son's mother sent me some pieces of crocodile yarn. I made a tent for my mother. It's the best place to keep cool in the summer. I'll give the rest to Aunt Yunhuang."
"Shark gauze is also rare, you can keep it for yourself. Queen Mother also has two pieces of colored glaze here as tribute from Nanling. You pick one to make clothes, and the other is given to Princess Yunqin." Although the colored gauze is not as valuable as the shark gauze.
, but every bit of what Nanling weaves every year is used as tribute, and it is a little more rare than shark gauze.
Not to mention that Prince Yun seems to be doting on the princess. Princess Yun is very close to her maternal family. If the prince wants to gain Jingguo's support, he must be on good terms with her.
"Then give me one piece each of the crocodile silk and the glazed yarn." Zuo Qingqing had already learned from her father's teachings - if the prince wants to secure his position as heir apparent, he must not make Prince Yun unhappy.
"That's fine." Empress Chen was very satisfied with the Crown Princess. She was gentle and tolerant and took the overall situation into consideration. The right minister really taught her daughter well.
Thousands of miles away, the imperial city of Beichi Royal Court has been surrounded by the Xuanjia Guards led by Jiang Yan for half a month. Because the people in the city are in panic, there is no joyous atmosphere during the New Year.
The Xuanjia Guards did not set up a tent, but built an igloo with solid blocks of snow. Jiang Yan sat in front of the desk, looking at the map of the entire royal court, and planning with the military advisor the time to capture the Beichi Royal Court.
Emperor Beichi was sitting on a dragon chair covered with tiger skin cushions, with a gloomy look on his face: "Aren't the reinforcements from all ministries coming?"
"I am reporting to the Great Khan that there has been a severe snowstorm on the grasslands this year, and many cattle, sheep and horses have been frozen to death. I am afraid that the various ministries... may not have enough energy to support the royal court..." The Prime Minister sweated in his heart, "As long as we persist until the beginning of spring, we will definitely meet by then.
There’s a turning point!”
Emperor Beichi rubbed his sore forehead: "How long has it been since the secret letter ordering King Dun to return to the royal court was sent?"
