The lanterns come on.
The Ruixue, which had been falling for a day, gradually subsided.
Under the light of the red lanterns, three or five crystal clear snowflakes were falling in the sky.
Qi Yun stood under the corridor with a dignified manner, smiling sweetly and retracting her beautiful eyes staring at the dark sky.
"Phew, this heavy snow has finally stopped."
Qi Yun murmured to herself, pulled the light yellow cloak on her body, and hurried towards the study in the inner courtyard with light steps.
Qi Yun walked all the way to the outside of the study, looked at the shadowy and flickering candlelight in the study, and gently knocked on the door a few times.
"Who is it?"
As soon as there was a knock on the door, Young Master Liu's questioning voice came from the study.
"My husband is my concubine."
"Yun'er, it's cold outside, come in with some."
"Yes, I know."
Qi Yun responded softly, gently opened the door, and walked into the study with light steps.
Liu Mingzhi raised his head and glanced at Qi Yun, then chuckled and put down the ink pen in his hand.
"Yun'er, is it time for dinner?"
Qi Yun closed the door, walked to the desk with a smile, and sat down on the chair next to her elegantly.
"Yes, my sister had already ordered the kitchen to prepare dinner half an hour ago.
Husband, are you having dinner at home, or are you going to have dinner with Sister Jie'er and Sister He Shu?"
Liu Mingzhi pondered for a moment, then reached out to pick up the cooled tea on the side. Just as he was about to bring it to his mouth, he was stopped by Qi Yun.
Qi Yun Jiaoyan reluctantly took the tea cup from her husband's hand, stood up and walked towards the stove next to her.
"Husband, this tea is already cold, so you don't have to worry about drinking it and ruining your stomach.
Wait a moment, I will give you a drink before you drink."
Liu Mingzhi stood up, stretched out, and walked happily towards Qi Yun.
"Yun'er, how's the weather outside?"
"Before I came to the study, all the lanterns in the house had been lit. In about half an hour, it will be completely dark."
Qi Yun answered sweetly while passing the pleasant tea in front of her husband.
Young Master Liu smiled lightly and took the tea cup, turning sideways and looking out the half-opened window.
"How is the snowstorm? Has it stopped?"
"Scattered snowflakes fall from time to time, but it has stopped."
Liu Mingzhi blew the tea in the cup, and his face suddenly showed a sense of relief.
"Just stop it, just stop it."
Qi Yun leaned her waist and picked up an empty teacup, lifted the teapot and poured herself a cup of freshly brewed fragrant tea.
"Husband, you haven't answered me yet."
Liu Mingzhi sipped the tea leaves at the corner of his mouth and looked at the beauty with surprised eyes.
"Huh? What?"
When Qi Yun saw her husband's confused look, she rolled her eyes angrily.
"Are you too busy? I asked you just now whether you would like to stay at home for dinner or go to Sister Jie'er and Sister He Shu for dinner."
Liu Mingzhi frowned and thought to himself, then pointed in the direction of the prince's old residence.
"Yun'er, when our family was in the East Palace during the day, my husband had already told Jie'er and Shu'er that he was going to their place for dinner.
If I don't go as my husband, I will make the two sisters wait in vain."
Qi Yun chuckled and nodded, and said softly: "That's true, but what about the reception banquet here for father and mother?
Husband, as the head of the family, it seems a bit inappropriate not to be here, right?"
"Yun'er, the old man, my mother, my father-in-law and my mother-in-law, they are all exhausted from traveling and traveling all the way. They are probably exhausted both physically and mentally.
In this case, what they need is to rest early.
Believe it or not, no matter how sumptuous our feast is, they can't eat much."
Qi Yun took a sip of tea and glanced towards the west garden of the inner courtyard with a smile through the door and window of the study.
"That's true. After they get home, if they have a good rest for an afternoon, their spirits will be full.
Unfortunately, before they had time to take a good rest, something happened again about Jingyao girl giving birth."
Liu Mingzhi placed the bottomed tea cup on the table, chewed the tea leaves in his mouth, returned to the desk and sat down again.
"When you are having dinner later, just tell the old man, father-in-law and the others, that you can go to the sisters Jie'er and Shu'er for me."
"Okay, I know what to do.
Husband, haven’t you finished your work yet?”
Qi Yun held the tea cup in her hand and walked towards the desk with smooth steps.
Liu Mingzhi fiddled with the candle next to him with scissors, and picked up the paperwork on the table with a complicated expression.
"Most of the documents have been approved, but there is still a situation on one document, and I can't make up my mind for a long time.
Before Yun'er rushed to the study, I had been thinking about the contents of this document for a long time."
Seeing her husband's frown, Qi Yun put down the teacup in her hand and reached out to take the document from Young Master Liu's hand.
"Come, let me take a look at what kind of situation is reported in the document. It actually makes you, husband, so embarrassed."
Liu Mingzhi leaned happily on the chair, put his arms around the beautiful lady's waist, held her in his arms and sat down.
"Aren't you afraid that others will say that you, the master of the harem, are interfering in politics without authorization?"
Qi Yun raised her head and smiled brightly at Young Master Liu, and then held up the documents in her hands grandly.
"As long as you don't care, husband, I won't bother to pay attention to what others say behind my back!
Besides, haven’t you asked me to help you with paperwork a few times in the past?”
Liu Mingzhi curled up the beauty's hair scattered around her earlobe with his fingers, brought it to the tip of his nose with a smile and took a deep breath.
"Well, Yun'er, your hair still smells as good as before."
"Come on, it's been a long time since you went to my concubine's place to rest."
"Yun'er, my husband was resting at your place ten days ago, okay?"
"You also said that you went four days ago.
Not seeing each other for one day is like three autumns. Do you understand?"
Young Master Liu's face froze, and he sighed with a twitching corner of his mouth.
"Oh, I don't know if it's a blessing or a disaster for me to marry a bunch of monsters like you sisters."
"Virtue, typical of being good when you get an advantage."
Qi Yun glanced at Young Master Liu with a charming expression, and silently moved her gaze to the document in her hand.
Seeing this, Liu Mingzhi said nothing more and gently rested his chin on the beauty's shoulder, silently smelling the fragrant fragrance of Qi Yun's body.
Soon.
Qi Yun'e frowned slightly and closed the document in her hand, looking sideways at her husband.
"Husband, this..."
"How about it, after reading the contents of the document, is there any way to help my husband solve his problems?"
When Qi Yun heard her husband's question, she shook her head silently.
"The situation is too complicated, and I can't think of any good solution at the moment."
