In the falling heavy snow, Li Yuhua was busy preparing various New Year items, including those for his own use in the mansion, those given to Zhaode Palace and Ci'en Palace, as well as the New Year's goods for Mu Anzhi at the Xingbu Yamen. Li Yuhua prepared them all.
It's ready.
During breakfast, I talked to Mu Anzhi about some affairs in the house, and Mu Anzhi responded a few times, "Okay, that's it."
Li Yuhua picked two plum and spring ginger slices from the cold dish in front of him and put them into Mu Anzhi's bowl. Mu Anzhi ate them without even looking at them. Li Yuhua's eyelashes flashed, and there was a trace of calmness in his eyes. Mu Anzhi ate.
Pick your mouth, onions, ginger, garlic, etc. are put into the dishes for seasoning. You have to pick them cleanly afterwards and don't let him eat them.
Li Yuhua was not in a hurry to ask what was going on. After breakfast, he still took care of Mu Anzhi to go to the palace for the morning court. Li Yuhua made arrangements to send out several new year gifts to people close to him, such as Mu Anzhi's teacher Tang Xueshifu
, Yong'an Marquis Mansion and Lu Marquis Mansion, with whom Li Yuhua had good friendships, asked Du Chang, Shi Hua, Chang Shi and the others to pay annual rites to these houses. The second prince's palace asked Mu Anzhi to come forward in person.
After Mu Anzhi went out, Li Yuhua called Xiaofan and asked, "Is there anything going on in the house that I don't know about these days?"
Xiao Yi, who has been following Mu Anzhi, is the chief steward. Xiaofan is able to curry favor with Li Yuhua, and he is also considered a useful member of the chamberlain. Li Yuhua arranges for him to be the second steward. Because Xiaofan usually goes out with Mu Anzhi, Xiaofan is
The second general manager was more in charge of the affairs of the house. Xiaofan did not answer immediately. He quickly went through the events of the past few days in his mind, and then respectfully reported, "Although there are many things in the past few days, as long as there are things,
, I have reported everything to my empress, I have just thought about it again and again, and there is nothing in the house that I have not reported to my empress."
Li Yuhua said, "Go to the Chief Secretary and tell him that no matter which chief official arrives, let him come and see me." Nowadays, there are many affairs in the mansion and few affairs in the yamen. Mu Anzhi usually only has one chief minister with him, and the other one is with him.
The chief minister, Shi Si, is responsible for the affairs of the government.
Xiaofan immediately responded respectfully.
This was not the first time that Hua Changshi came to the palace, but it was the first time that he was summoned by the prince and his wife. Even though he was an immortal and had the temperament of Xianyun Yehe, Hua Changshi was a little more respectful, and the snowflakes fell silently.
On the oil-paper umbrella, it either continues to fall into dust along the surface of the umbrella, or lightly accumulates on the edge of the umbrella, as if it has painted a soft white edge on the pale yellow umbrella surface. Walking on the green brick road, Hua Changshi also
He couldn't help but wonder what orders the prince and concubine had given him.
He had limited opportunities to meet the prince's concubine. Although he had heard some legends about the prince's concubine, he only had one official meeting. On the second day of his errand at the prince's residence, Chang Shi paid homage to His Highness the Third Highness, who took the prince's concubine with him.
We received the ceremony together at Yin'an Hall.
The wind and snow got tighter, and the early wind blew up the snowflakes and hit him in the face. Hua Changshi's hand holding the handle of the umbrella was slightly harder, and the snow on the umbrella surface rose up, swirling and flying away again.
Hua Changshi stopped in front of the black door of a majestic courtyard. This should be the courtyard where His Majesty the Queen lives. He had been waiting outside for the first time. He saw the gatekeeper's wife coming out holding an umbrella and smiling, "The Queen has given orders,
Please go to the study to talk, Chief Minister."
The flowers and trees in the courtyard were covered with frost and snow, and the few roads leading directly to the corridor were swept clean, with only a few scattered snow flakes. Hua Changshi followed the woman directly to the corridor of the house in the west of the main house, without even stopping outside.
The maid came out and asked Hua Changshi to come in and talk.
Hua Changshi became even more cautious. Why was it so important that the empress summoned her urgently?
Except for the glazed flowered window opposite, there are study rooms on three sides. Li Yuhua is sitting in the bearskin Taishi chair behind Mu Anzhi's rarely used writing desk. When Hua Changshi comes to greet him, Li Yuhua says, "Changshi, please sit down."
Hua Changshi noticed that the maid next to Li Yuhua brought tea and then left. Hua Changshi quickly said, "I forgive you, I am a foreign minister. It is not good for me to sit alone with you."
Li Yuhua ordered, "Yunque, then you can stay."
The skylark then stood by the side.
Hua Changshi bowed slightly, and Li Yuhua said, "I have something to ask you. How has it been going well for Your Highness in the Yamen these days?"
"Nothing goes wrong." After the Cienhui case and the Zhu case, the court's criticism of His Highness the Third Highness has been much restrained. In the Hao murder case that has just been concluded, although His Highness's temperament is as unique as ever, Hua Changshi believes that justice
People have begun to recognize the talents of His Highness the Third Highness. It should be said that the current situation of the Third Highness is very good. Even with His unique temperament, in the long run, the advantages to the Third Highness outweigh the disadvantages.
Hua Changshi wondered why Li Yuhua asked this.
Li Yuhua continued, "What happened to Chang Shisi recently?"
Hua Changshi said, "There are twenty or thirty things, big and small, every day. Posts and replies are all instructions from the Empress or His Highness in the report, and official documents from the Changshi Division are replied to. There are no other things..."
Hua Changshi's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Yesterday there was a letter sent from the Ministry of War Posthouse...
Li Yuhua's eyebrows moved, his eyes caught Hua Changshi's hesitation, and he immediately asked, "What on earth is going on?"
Hua Changshi didn't know whether he should say it or not. After all, the Chief of Staff was serving His Highness, and His Highness must be the main one. If His Highness didn't want the Queen to know, wouldn't it go against His Highness's will if he said so. Li Yuhua glanced at Hua Changshi's old face and said, "
No matter how close a couple is to each other, if you don't tell me, be careful and I will blow my pillow."
Hua Changshi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mother, you are threatening me."
"Yes, when Third Brother pursues you, just say that I was the one who threatened you."
Hua Changshi understood that when Li Yuhua became suspicious, he could no longer conceal the matter. "Yesterday, there was a letter sent from the Post Office of the Ministry of War. The clay seal on it was from Northern Xinjiang."
Li Yuhua thought for a moment. Sister Muxiang didn't know that she was married to Mu Anzhi, so she probably wouldn't have written to her from Northern Xinjiang. Then the letter must be from Pei Zhuangyuan. Li Yuhua said to Hua Changshi with a pleasant look, "I have a long history of labor.
I see."
After sending Hua Changshi away, Li Yuhua thought for a while and asked someone to prepare a mutton pot that Mu Anzhi always liked, and put it in a food box for him at noon. The meals in the evening were also particularly elaborate, and the whole table was full of things Mu Anzhi liked.
vegetable.
Mu Anzhi was thoughtful and smiled, "It's so rich, but what happy event is it?"
"Can't we be rich without happy events? It's the New Year soon, and we don't have to put all the good things before eating them." Li Yuhua thoughtfully poured wine for Mu Anzhi, "It's cold, drink some wine to activate your blood."
Mu Anzhi caught a glimpse of Li Yuhua's concerned look and drank some wine.
When the two of them were studying in the evening, Li Yuhua asked Mu Anzhi, "Did something happen to Pei Zhuangyuan?"
The shock flashed across Mu Anzhi's face, and he slowly closed the book in his hand, "It's nothing. Didn't you listen to Uncle Jiu that Ruyu is doing well in Northern Xinjiang?"
"I was even more worried after hearing Uncle Jiu say that you were out of sorts this morning. What did Pei Zhuangyuan write in his letter?"
Mu Anzhi said calmly, "It's nothing."
"What is nothing?" Li Yuhua asked.
Mu Anzhi ordered Xiao Yi to get the letter box, opened it himself, and handed the letter to Li Yuhua. Li Yuhua was surprised that Mu Anzhi gave the letter to her personally and did not pick it up for a while. Mu Anzhi put it in Li Yuhua's hand and motioned for her to read it by herself.
Li Yuhua read it hastily and found that there was actually nothing written in the letter. It basically meant that everything was well and that he wished Mu An was safe. Li Yuhua pinched the letter in puzzlement and asked, "What's wrong with this letter?"
"There's no problem." Mu Anzhi took the letter back, folded it in half and put it back on the envelope, and said calmly, "Except that this letter was not written by Ruyu, there is no problem at all."
"Isn't this a letter from Pei Zhuangyuan?" Li Yuhua's eyes almost fell.
"The words on the cover of the letter are, but the letterhead is not. The words on the letterhead are imitations." Mu Anzhi's eyes filled with coldness, and he locked the letter back into the mailbox, "This letter is meant to give me a warning."
"Warning for what?"
There was a touch of disdain on the corner of Mu Anzhi's lips, "It depends on what you think, if you are so narrow-minded that you will be depressed to death. I have never heard the story of the frightened bird. A wounded lone goose, panicking when hearing the sound of an arrow.
You may be so frightened that you may fall to the ground and become someone else's prey. This letter is like the sound of an arrow."
"Then the person who plotted against us has made a mistake. Third brother, you have me, and I have you. We are not alone!" Li Yuhua held Mu An's hand tightly with a serious look on his face, holding it very tightly, trying to pass through himself
The hand passed to the third brother his own encouragement and strength.
Mu Anzhi felt like there was a small fire in his heart. In this cold night, as long as he saw this light, his whole person would feel warm from the bottom of his heart.
The coldness in his eyes melted away like ice melted by spring water. Mu Anzhi nodded with a smile, held Li Yuhua's hand and said, "Yes. I still have you."
"I will be with you, third brother, all my life. No matter when, we will advance and retreat together. If there are difficulties, we will think of solutions together. If there are bad people, we will deal with them together. Life can't just be like this. There will definitely be twists and turns.
After crossing a mountain, there will be another mountain; after swimming across a river, there will still be another river! As long as you live, you have to cross it!"
Li Yuhua looked energetic, with a fierce fighting spirit between his brows, like a strong pine and cypress in the wind and snow. It is difficult to be invaded by wind and snow, and is undefeated by frost. "I also like those who are difficult to deal with and can be knocked down in one hit. Victory
There’s no sense of accomplishment!”
