The snow light illuminates the sky, and goose-feather flakes fall silently to the earth. The whole world is embraced by layers of light snow. In the sleeping snowy night, there are occasionally one or two dogs barking and drumming, breaking the silence of the snowy night.
First, the lights in the servants' rooms were lit one after another. After getting dressed and washing, the servants went about their errands.
Mu Anzhi, who has been accustomed to getting up in the morning for many years, wants to wake up earlier today. He has a furry head tied around his neck. Through the light from the brocade tent, he can see half of Li Yuhua's face in the messy long hair.
Li Yuhua didn't like to bother others when he slept, but his sleep pattern was a bit dishonest, and he would squirm all over the bed due to stool. Mu Anzhi's sleep pattern was peaceful, and he would wake up the same way he usually did when he lay down.
However, probably because of the cold winter nights, Li Yuhua still likes to squeeze in next to Mu An while sleeping, even if there is a heater and Mrs. Tang in the living room.
At first, Mu Anzhi was a little uncomfortable with it, but now that they have been married for more than two months, they have gradually gotten used to it.
Dong dong dong——
The door of the inner room rang three times, and then came Xiao Yi's gentle voice, "Your Highness, it's time to get up."
Mu Anzhi said "Hmm" and said, "I understand."
Li Yuhua let out a thin moan in his throat and rubbed Mu Anzhi's neck twice. Following Li Yuhua's movements, a faint fragrance floated out. The indescribable fragrance made Mu Anzhi involuntarily feel uncomfortable. He couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
He opened his face to look at the curtain and said softly, "It's time to get up."
Li Yuhua stretched out his arms and sat up first.
Mu Anzhi called out, "Come in."
Outside, Grandma Sun walked in with Suxue Sushuang Yunyan Yunque holding various clothes and toiletries to serve the young couple. Li Yuhua sat in front of the makeup mirror and combed her hair. The little palace servant opened the long curtain of the glazed window.
The light shines with the lights inside the house, reflecting the thick white snow under the swaying snow.
"It's still snowing." Li Yuhua said, "It hasn't stopped all night."
Skylark lightly held up a piece of black hair with her fingertips, and said with a smile, "I just went out, and the snow is a foot thick."
"Excuse me, put the heater in the carriage first, and then go out to warm up later."
Yunyan held the pearl flowers for Li Yuhua to choose, and said with a smile, "Sister Shuangxue gave the order."
Li Yuhua nodded, Shuangxue always acted appropriately.
Shuangxue gently tied the jade crown wrapped with gold threads on Mu Anzhi's bun. Li Yuhua was still wondering whether it was better to use small pink pearls or purple crystal beads. Mu Anzhi was so embarrassed to part with it.
He leaned over and pointed to a ruby flower flower in the jewelry box, "This one is good."
Li Yuhua tilted his head, and Mu Anzhi picked up the step and gave it to Li Yuhua to give her hairpins. The rubies shone brightly under the light, and a bunch of small beads swayed lightly. Yun Yan said with a smile, "His Highness has good taste, and this step is just right for the empress."
.”
Li Yuhua smiled at Mu Anzhi in the mirror, and Mu Anzhi covered his lips and coughed lightly, "Just pick one at will."
Yunque is also very good at flattering, and immediately said, "His Highness's casual pointing is a thousand times better than those of us with little knowledge. Not only does it hit the bun that the empress is wearing today, but it also hits the empress's heart."
Su Shuang also said, "It not only matches the lady's bun, but also matches the clothes the lady is wearing today."
Li Yuhua smiled, "I'm embarrassed to praise you." She admired it in the mirror and felt that Mu Anzhi had better eyesight. She glanced at the mirror and asked deliberately, "Isn't that right, third brother?"
?”
Suxue packed up a box of gold and jade hairpins that Mu Anzhi usually used, and locked it with a slight click.
Mu Anzhi was embarrassed by Li Yuhua's question. Suxue came over and softly replied, "Your Highness, Madam, it's time for breakfast."
"Let's go have a meal." Mu Anzhi saw that he was about to go down the stairs immediately. Li Yuhua sat in front of the makeup mirror without getting up, "I think it would be better if the hairpin is higher."
"Those are too high, this is just right." Mu Anzhi looked at Li Yuhua's smiling eyes in the mirror, and glanced away at the snow outside the glass window.
Li Yuhua stood up with a smile and held Mu Anzhi's hand. Mu Anzhi felt uncomfortable and indescribable, and went to have breakfast with Li Yuhua. The young couple never needed to be served by the palace when they had meals, especially Grandma Sun.
Because of his age, Li Yuhua said, "You go to eat first and come back later."
Grandma Sun bowed and led the palace guests away.
Li Yuhua and Mu Anzhi talked while having breakfast. This was Li Yuhua's habit. Although she had learned the palace rules well, since she was the master of her own family, Li Yuhua had a temperament that would never wrong her, and she also refused to say anything after eating.
Mu Anzhi brought a twist to success.
Mu Anzhi glanced at the heavy snowfall through the window, then gave Li Yuhua a piece of fried quail, "The snow is too heavy, you should not enter the palace today."
"The snow is good. The imperial grandmother must be in high spirits today." Li Yuhua ate japonica rice porridge with fried quail. The quail was marinated first and then deep-fried, which made it especially delicious. Both the young couple loved this bite.
Li Yuhua has never been willing to slack off in social interactions. In addition, she has a lively personality, so she felt bored when she was asked to rest quietly in the house. As for the heavy snow and light snow, Li Yuhua grew up in the countryside.
Big, according to Empress Dowager Lan, had a fierce temper. She suffered a lot when she was a child, so she didn't think it was any hard work to go to the palace to pay respects in a warm and spacious carriage on a snowy day.
After breakfast, the two of them took a car together to enter the palace. Mu Anzhi went to the morning court, and Li Yuhua went to Ci'en Palace.
In the morning, Zhaode Palace and Ci'en Palace were not far apart. Mu Anzhi sent Li Yuhua there first. Empress Dowager Lan had also just had breakfast. When she saw the two of them holding umbrellas in the snow, she repeatedly ordered the palace attendants to serve and held an umbrella.
He shook their hands and felt that their hands were not cold, so he said, "What are you doing in the palace in this snowy day? Ah Shen will go to court to pay it back. Yuhua is young, so she can't act like this without caring about her health in this snowy day."
Li Yuhua said with a smile, "Grandma Huang, there are heaters in the car, so it's not cold."
"That's right. When we get to the palace gate, we get out of the car and there is no warm sedan. We come all the way in the wind and snow. What should we do if we are choked by the wind or frozen?"
"Third brother, even if he freezes himself, he won't let me freeze." Mu Anzhi was always a little awkward at first when it came to Li Yuhua's words of wanting to show off their love at any time, but after hearing more, he acquiesced.
Mu Anzhi wanted to go to court early, so he said a few words, drank a bowl of hot tea, and then went to Zhaode Palace. Empress Dowager Lan felt sorry for her grandson and ordered a warm sedan to be passed to Mu Anzhi, and Mu Anzhi sat down unceremoniously.
Suddenly, Empress Lu and her concubines came over to say hello, and saw that Li Yuhua was already sitting next to Empress Dowager Lan, who had arrived earlier than them all. In her heart, she admired Li Yuhua, a village girl who was accustomed to fawning over—
The village girl is really willing to work hard!
Empress Dowager Lan treated Empress Lu in a mediocre way, and she didn't like to keep too many concubines in front of her. After saying a few words, she sent everyone off, leaving only Crown Princess Li Yuhua to talk.
The Crown Princess had to go back to the East Palace to have lunch with the Crown Prince at noon, so Li Yuhua stayed in Ci'en Palace to eat. After lunch, Li Yuhua reported to Queen Mother Minglan exactly what Mu Anzhi had told her yesterday.
Queen Mother Lan just listened to a few words at first, and then her eyebrows slowly furrowed. She held the teacup that was azure after the rain in her hand, and the gold-inlaid and jade-colored Junshan Silver Needle floated in the cup.
Li Yuhua said, "It was originally a small case, but now it involves the secrets of many high-ranking people. This is still a small matter, and our royal family doesn't look down on it, but I can't help but think deeper,
This Taiping Nunnery is also a century-old nunnery in the Imperial Capital. It usually has a good reputation in the Imperial Capital. It is a big nunnery. When did they start doing these dirty things? How much do they know? If they use these things as a reason to threaten the wealthy families of the Imperial Capital,
It’s too scary. I want Third Brother to hand over this job, but Third Brother said that the matter of Princess Yunzhang has not been found out, and the matter of cursing me has not been clarified, so he can’t let go of this job. But this job is in San
Having it in my hands for just one day would make people think too much. I had no idea, so I hurried over to discuss it with the Imperial Grandmother."
The aroma of tea gradually cools down.
Queen Mother Lan listened patiently to Li Yuhua's words. Her usual loving expression was replaced by seriousness. Queen Mother Lan asked first, "How do you think this case should be handled?"
"I don't have an accurate idea either." Li Yuhua had thought it over carefully a long time ago, otherwise he wouldn't be able to come to Queen Mother Lan. Li Yuhua frowned slightly, "It would be easy to say if this was an honest case, but the difficulty is that it involves secrecy.
A small family has some secrets that they don't want others to know, let alone a large family. But now that Taiping Nunnery has been exposed, it cannot be buried. If they are really brought out one by one, the Yushitai must be lively first.
.This is like doing business. The big shopkeeper and the small shopkeeper are overturned. Do you expect the assistants to support the business at the counter?"
"That means there will be no trial?" Queen Mother Lan asked.
"It won't work without a trial. The families involved all know that Taiping Nunnery was raided, and private matters are the easiest to make people think too much. If we don't trial, I'm afraid they will just assume that we know the secret and not disclose it. Wouldn't it be even more disturbing?
They let their imagination run wild and create other concerns, which makes it easier for others to take advantage of them.”
Queen Mother Lan asked, "Is there a way to get the best of both worlds?"
Li Yuhua said, "First stabilize people's hearts and then talk about other things."
Queen Mother Lan asked, "How to calm people's hearts?"
A layer of fine beads of sweat slowly formed on Li Yuhua's forehead. How should she answer this? Queen Mother Lan was not too solemn. Her eyes were still as loving and gentle as before, and she even picked up the tea and took a sip slowly. Li Yuhua
But it was like being weighted down by a thousand-foot mountain on my shoulders, and I was speechless for a moment.
"You are still young, so you may not be able to understand." Queen Mother Lan said softly.
Li Yuhua was suddenly alerted. This seemingly caring and considerate words caused her to have a huge crisis in an instant. This was not just a simple word from an elder to express sympathy for the younger generation, but also an important signal that the superior wanted to exclude you from the decision-making process.
If Li Yuhua wants to withdraw from the decision-making power in the Taiping Nunnery matter, as long as she shows her lack of ability, Empress Dowager Lan will not force her to do so. If the Taiping Nunnery matter has little to do with the third prince, Li Yuhua will withdraw immediately.
However, Taiping An was copied under the order of Mu An. Now Taiping An's sisters-in-law are being detained in the Ministry of Justice and Mu Anzhi is under trial. Now Mu Anzhi is inseparable from the Taiping An case. Withdrawing now is tantamount to destroying Taiping An.
The decision-making power of the matter was surrendered.
But if he doesn't quit, Li Yuhua will definitely come up with a plan for Queen Mother Lan's reference.
Li Yuhua never wanted to suffer a loss, but at this moment, her heart moved and she immediately had an idea, "Yesterday, third brother told me something that was recorded in the history books."
A faint smile appeared on Queen Mother Lan's lips, "You two love to read together. What books are you reading?"
"What I was reading was about Cao Mengde's great defeat of Yuan Shao during the Three Kingdoms period. He copied countless letters from Yuan Shao between Cao General and Yuan Shao, and Cao Mengde burned them all," Li Yuhua said.
Queen Mother Lan raised her head and sighed lightly, "I'm afraid A Shen will suffer some injustice."
Li Yuhua was startled. She didn't know much about the affairs of the court, but she knew everything about business. If some of the store clerks found out the secrets of most of the shopkeepers, as the owner, she couldn't immediately fire or investigate these shopkeepers.
Yes, after all, stabilizing the business is the most important thing. So, if she were the boss, how would she deal with this guy?
Li Yuhua's heart suddenly sank deeper, her face turned pale, and her eyebrows knitted tighter. This was simply thankless. She was focused on Mu Anzhi's future situation, and did not pay attention to the flash in Queen Mother Lan's eyes.
appreciate.
Empress Dowager Lan admired Li Yuhua's alertness and keenness. If Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's words were taught by Mu Anzhi, the reaction just now was definitely Li Yuhua's own reaction. She really found a treasure. Even the princess was not necessarily better than Li Yuhua when facing the situation in front of her.
Think faster.
Queen Mother Lan looked at Li Yuhua quietly. The corners of Li Yuhua's mouth tightened into a hard lip line, and the entire lower jaw became cold and hard. Her gaze towards the ground was full of worry. For a long time, Li Yuhua squeezed out a sentence from her throat, "If you are the imperial court,
, any kind of grievance, third brother is willing to do it."
As she spoke, her tears fell.
Li Yuhua cried a lot at Queen Mother Lan. She really felt that her third brother was wronged. The case of Princess Yunzhang was not investigated by her third brother on her own initiative. Emperor Mu Xuan asked her third brother to investigate.
Brother tried his best to find out about this big shithole called Taiping Temple, but now that he is covered in shit, the future of the third brother will be affected.
Li Yuhua couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when she thought of her third brother's busy schedule of getting up early and going to bed late every day, but ended up with such a result.
Of course, she would not admit that there was some element of playing tricks in front of Empress Dowager Lan. Anyway, Li Yuhua couldn't help but feel sad when she thought of Mu Anzhi's just-improving situation being lost.
Queen Mother Lan persuaded Li Yuhua for a long time and then let her go back.
Queen Mother Lan first invited Emperor Mu Xuan to Ci'en Palace to discuss the matter of Taiping Nunnery. Emperor Mu Xuan said, "It seems that the third daughter-in-law has entered the palace, and so has the third son. He tells his wife everything."
"Ashen's wife is very nice and sensible. If she has no idea, she has to tell me." Queen Mother Lan asked, "What exactly do you think?"
Emperor Mu Xuan said coldly, "It has been peaceful these past few years since the rebellion was suppressed in Northern Xinjiang. It seems that some people can't help but want to cause trouble."
"How to investigate this case?"
"The Taiping'an case was taken over by Lao San. Even if someone else takes over now, he will not be too happy in the future. Besides, these matters are not in the hands of the ministers, so let Lao San continue the investigation."
"That's all we have to do now."
Empress Dowager Lan sighed softly, then with a stern look in her eyes, she clasped her palm on the openwork phoenix on the armrest of the phoenix couch, her voice was like gold and jade clashing, "I wonder who has such ulterior motives and has such wild and rebellious thoughts!"
