Due to various things, Dongyang Hou became more and more dependent on Mu Yunhan. Sometimes he would wait on him at the front and would take her with him.
Mu Yunhan was not qualified to enter the inner palace. Marquis Dongyang was serving Emperor Qi inside, while she stood quietly outside.
Qi State is located in the north, and winter has already entered after mid-autumn.
Outside the hall, right at the wind outlet, the cold wind blew, freezing people to death.
Mu Yunhan was not afraid of the cold, he stood outside in a polite manner, did not walk around and looked around, and did not talk too much. He was kind and gentle, and cherished his words like gold.
Eunuch Gou saw it and thought it was really rare, so he unconsciously remembered it in his heart.
There was a fine snow falling in the sky that day, and Emperor Qi summoned the Marquis of Dongyang.
The palace servant who came to deliver the message reminded Dongyang Hou, "Your Majesty has been busy since he got up early and didn't eat much. He drank a cup of Qingxin tea before."
This means that Emperor Qi is in a very bad mood today.
Marquis Dongyang couldn't help but shudder, and looked at Mu Yunhan with some fear, "Why don't you go today, it's snowing."
Ever since he and Concubine Li became friends, he had been feeling guilty. He wanted Mu Yunhan to accompany him to the front, but he felt that it was too much to ask her to endure the cold in such weather.
Mu Yunhan knew what he meant, so he put a cloak on him with a smile, "This subordinate is not afraid of the cold."
Seeing that she had no intention of forcing herself, Marquis Dongyang felt slightly moved, "Then I will ask someone to find a place for you to rest, warm yourself by the fire, drink tea and wait for me."
"Okay." Mu Yunhan responded with a smile, told Xiaomi to take care of his home, and followed Dongyang Marquis to the front.
In the previous dynasty, there was nowhere for ordinary palace people to rest. Even when important officials came, they could only wait in the corridor.
Marquis Dongyang's nagging was only met with perfunctory response from the palace attendants on duty. After he left, he said to Mu Yunhan, "Ms. Hui, don't blame me. This is how it is here. Why don't you go back first? The young master needs someone to take care of us.
And he sent someone to call you.”
This is a joke. Mu Yunhan smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of the cold."
The palace attendants on duty laughed a few times and talked to her a few words, but then they didn't say much.
The good place to take shelter from the wind had long been occupied by others, and Mu Yunhan didn't choose it, so he just stood on the edge. The snow fell on him with the wind, and soon half of his body was white.
She was not in a hurry, she lowered her eyebrows and waited quietly.
Eunuch Gou came from a distance with a young eunuch. When he saw her standing there again, he stopped and looked at her.
The other palace people all came forward to salute and say hello, and they were all flattering.
Mu Yunhan bowed slightly and did not join in the fun.
Eunuch Gou looked at her twice and went inside tremblingly.
Not long after, another person walked over in the wind and snow. On such a cold day, he only wore a light blue cloth robe and an ebony hairpin, plain and simple.
Someone whispered, "That's Mr. Jiang, right?"
"Who else else could be better than him?"
Jiang Wei seemed to be walking slowly but coming quickly. In just a few breaths, he had already arrived in front of the temple.
Mu Yunhan lowered his head to look, but saw that the green cloth shoes on his feet were clean and not stained with any mud or water. He was obviously a practicing practitioner.
The feet stopped in front of her.
She didn't raise her head, but she could feel Jiang Wei's eyes falling directly on her, looking back and forth.
"This aunt is smart." Jiang Wei's voice sounded unhurried and very gentle.
The palace man had suffered a lot and didn't dare to answer his question, so the place suddenly became cold.
"In response to your noble lord, the commoner woman Zou Huiniang." Mu Yunhan answered calmly, without the slightest hint of embarrassment.
