Chapter 73 Snowing
Xiu Niang had met Wen Zhaoyi and her aunt, and Wen Zhaoyi looked very much like her aunt.
After Xiu Niang saw Wen Zhaoyi's appearance, she could find out the relationship between Wen Zhaoyi and her aunt just by asking around. It is not difficult to understand her hatred and revenge on Wen Zhaoyi's aunt.
It’s just that Wen Zhaoyi hates it!
She slapped the letter in her hand on the table and said angrily: "Since you have already reached that point, why didn't you just get rid of the brother and sister to avoid future troubles, instead of leaving them to harm me?"
That's all, this time too, everyone knew that Xiu Niang had made her fall out of favor, and they didn't bother to torture Xiu Niang and her brother to vent her anger, but instead let people run away again.
Wen Zhaoyi was sulky for a while and ignored her request for a reply. After burning the letter, she asked Han Lu to dress her up.
The weather was nice today, so she would go for a walk in the imperial garden to see if she would be lucky enough to meet the emperor.
Maybe everyone has the same idea as Wen Zhaoyi, but the Imperial Garden is particularly lively today.
Wen Zhaoyi first met Cui Jieyu, then she met Weng Jieyu after walking a few steps, and then she met Xu Jieyu after walking a few steps.
When Xu Jieyu saw Wen Zhaoyi, the corner of her mouth curled up and she said mockingly: "Hey, isn't this Wen Zhaoyi? Why are you thinking about meeting the emperor by chance? I advise you not to think about it. The emperor will probably think of you when he sees you now.
You can't even dance well."
Wen Zhaoyi's face did not show the angry look Xu Jieyu wanted to see. Instead, she asked without answering: "Could it be that my sister came to the Royal Garden just to meet the emperor by chance, so she judged others by herself and thought I was the same?"
"I am again..."
"Jieyu, didn't you say you wanted to fold two plum blossoms and put them in a vase? What do you think of those two?"
Before Xu Jieyu could finish her choked words, she was interrupted by a voice from a palace maid behind her.
Although everyone chose to come to the Royal Garden with the intention of meeting the emperor by chance, it is fine for everyone to understand this kind of thing in their hearts, but it is not appropriate to say it out loud.
Wen Zhaoyi couldn't help but take a second look at the palace maid who was speaking, and found that this palace maid was very familiar, and was not one of the two palace maids Lucai and Zhusha that Xu Jieyu often brought with her.
Xu Jieyu was reminded by the palace maid behind her and she also reacted. She almost fell into Wen Zhaoyi's way again.
Xu Jieyu rolled her eyes at Wen Zhaoyi and cursed: "What a villain."
Then he stopped talking to Wen Zhaoyi and said to the palace maid behind him: "Let's go and break plum blossoms."
Wen Zhaoyi looked at the master and servant walking away and asked Han Lu behind her: "Who is the maid next to Xu Jieyu? When did she come to serve Xu Jieyu?"
Because Han Lu had been staring at Xu Jieyu and Xu Jieyu in the palace, she naturally knew about the change of the eldest palace maid next to Xu Jieyu.
Han Lu said: "Back to Zhaoyi, the maid next to Xu Jieyu is named Huang Xiang. Didn't the palace release a group of palace maids who have reached age some time ago? The palace maid named Zhusha who was next to Xu Jieyu is older.
They were let out, and this one named Huang Xiang was just brought up from the second-class palace maid."
Wen Zhaoyi nodded and said: "It's a pity."
This person named Huang Xiang is actually a smart person. It is a pity to be with Xu Jieyu. Moreover, with her by her side, Xu Jieyu has also grown a brain.
Wen Zhaoyi walked around the imperial garden for most of the day, but did not see the emperor's shadow.
Not only Xu Jieyu, but Feiping who went to visit the Imperial Garden today did not see the emperor. The emperor stayed in Jianzhang Palace all day today to deal with political affairs and did not have time to visit the Imperial Garden.
Lu Wanning went to Zhaoyang Palace that day and resumed her previous life. She would stay in Linglong Pavilion every day after paying her respects.
When the sun was nice, she also thought about going for a walk in the Imperial Garden, but she heard that the Imperial Garden was particularly lively during this period, so she gave up the idea.
On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the sky seemed to be clear in the morning, but just after noon, the sun was covered by dark clouds, and the weather became gloomy.
During dinner, Zhou Man went to the dining room and when he came back, he said he was freezing.
Lu Wanning gave each of them a portion of the Laba porridge he brought from the dining room.
After dinner, Lu Wanning sat on the couch, listening to the whistling wind outside the window, and watched Qingzhi, Qingdai and Zhou Man roasting peanuts around the fire pot.
Zhou Man’s technique is the best, and the roasted peanuts are always cooked at just the right temperature. Although Qingzhi is not always roasted just right, it can roast the peanuts most of the time. Only Qingdai either burns the peanuts or burns them.
The peanuts were not roasted and were still raw when eaten.
In the end, Qingzhi couldn't stand it anymore and gave some of her roasted peanuts to Qingdai. Only then did Qingdai eat normal roasted peanuts tonight.
Lu Wanning also roasted a few by herself. Although two were burnt, the rest were roasted just right. I don't know if it was because she roasted them by herself. Lu Wanning felt that the peanuts tonight were particularly fragrant.
There was a cold wind outside the window, but it was peaceful and quiet inside the house.
At that time, seeing that Lu Wanning was sleepy, Qingzhi and Qingdai dispersed. After Qingzhi helped Lu Wanning wash up, Lu Wanning lay down on the quilt stuffed with Tang Pozi and fell asleep comfortably.
Lu Wanning slept until the next morning without waking up once. When she opened her eyes and looked through the curtain, she saw that it was already bright outside. This made Lu Wanning a little confused about what night it was.
She sat up with the quilt in her arms and asked Qingzhi who heard the noise and came to help her get up: "What time is it? Why is it so bright outside?"
Qingzhi put the warm clothes that were baked on the smoker on Lu Wanning's body, and handed Lu Wanning a glass of warm water, and replied: "Master, it's just nine o'clock, it's snowing outside, so it's very bright."
"Is it snowing?" Lu Wanning asked in surprise.
This is the first snow this year, no wonder it was so cold yesterday.
Qingzhi smiled and said, "Yes, it started raining at midnight yesterday. It rained for half the night, and it hasn't stopped yet. A thick layer has already fallen outside."
Lu Wanning got out of bed and put on her clothes. She walked to the window and opened it to take a look outside. Snowflakes were flying in the air, and the sky and earth were covered in silver, as if all the dirt in the world was covered.
.
This kind of weather is suitable for staying indoors, making tea by the stove, burning incense and reading. It is really not suitable for going out in the wind and snow.
I don’t know if the queen will skip the greetings today?
