The New Year is approaching, and it snows for the first time since the beginning of winter in Beichen.
Xiao Jialan opened the window and found silver clothing spread all over the floor outside.
The plum blossoms in the yard are blooming quietly, exuding a refreshing fragrance in the snow.
And three months ago, the crane that Yuan Chen captured was walking gracefully in the snow.
This crane is not simple. Yuan Chen captured it for everyone to watch. After making a few paintings, they released the crane.
Unexpectedly, it came back on its own within a few days, and the crane took up residence in the Prince's Mansion.
In his free time, he wanders around the house, and when he is hungry, he goes to Xiaoyue Lake to catch fish.
When the crane saw Xiao Jialan opening the window, it began to dance more gracefully in the snow, as if inviting a favor.
When Yuan Chen came back from outside, he saw Xiao Jialan lying on the window enjoying the snow.
Seeing him coming back, Xiao Jialan's eyes lit up and she hurriedly ran to the door to greet him.
She opened her hands and threw herself into Yuan Chen's arms.
Yuan Chen hurriedly pulled her away and said, "I just came back from outside and I feel cold, so be careful not to let the cold air pass on you."
In the twelfth month of winter, people are most likely to catch cold. He wanted to hug her but he had to take her body into consideration.
Xiao Jialan stubbornly reached out and hugged him: "So, I want to keep my husband warm."
Yuan Chen felt warm in his heart, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, then took her hand back to the room.
There was a heater burning in the room. Yuan Chen took off his cloak and asked, "Why don't you sleep more?"
Xiao Jialan said: "Look at the snow, there is no snow in Nanyue in winter, only Beichen has it."
Due to the climate in Nanyue, winter is not very cold and it rarely snows.
It was also the first time I met her when she came to Beichen.
Yuan Chen saw how excited she was and asked, "Do you like her that much?"
Xiao Jialan nodded. She looked at the snow outside the window and said, "Don't you think it's magical? It's a vast expanse of white and has the shape of snow. I counted six sides."
Yuan Chen chuckled lightly: "Since you like it, how about we invite our relatives and friends to come over to enjoy the snow and drink tea?
I recently saw a very novel recipe in an ancient book, which is very suitable for snowy days. I might try it."
Xiao Jialan was very curious: "What novel recipe is it?"
"You'll find out tonight."
Yuan Chen deliberately gave it a try, but at this moment, a goshawk landed on the window, bringing in a little bit of flying snow.
Xiao Jialan looked at the goshawk and called out: "Chi Yu."
Chiyu flapped its wings, and seemed to be aware of it and looked back at the crane that was walking in the snow.
The crane was not afraid at all when it saw Chi Yu, and still looked leisurely and contented.
Xiao Jialan was afraid that they would fight, so she ran over and hugged Chi Yu and said, "You can't bully it."
Chi Yu looked at it with a pair of big eyes with sharp light, as if asking, isn't it enough?
Xiao Jialan touched its head and said, "You are an eagle and you have to be magnanimous. Be good."
She took the letter from Chi Yu's lap and handed it to Yuan Chen.
Yuan Chen opened it and read it. This letter was from Chu Heng.
Xiao Jialan asked: "What did Chu Heng say?"
Yuan Chen said: "Duan Qingli has returned to the Duan family and will soon be getting married to the prince of Southern Xinjiang."
Xiao Jialan asked: "What about the child?"
Yuan Chen said: "Don't worry, the child is very good, he is a son.
Chu Heng said that the health of the crown prince of Southern Xinjiang might not last long, so the royal family of Southern Xinjiang couldn't wait to marry Duan Qingli.
They believed deeply in the prophecy of the high priest and thought that if they married the destined daughter, the royal family would prosper.
