Bai Jiujiu hurriedly explained: "Royal Grandma, this is a birthday gift that my daughter-in-law and His Highness have specially found for you. They are called fireworks. Although they only bloom for a moment, they are wonderful enough, and their preciousness is precisely because of their brevity."

The Queen Mother agreed with Bai Jiujiu's statement: "Yes, life is like these fireworks. Although it is short, as long as it blooms to the fullest without leaving any regrets.

You two are so thoughtful, this birthday gift is the most beautiful and favorite birthday gift that the Ai family has ever received in this life."

"Royal grandmother, you still have a long life to live! My granddaughter-in-law will find a more beautiful birthday gift for you in the future." Bai Jiujiu said sweetly.

The Queen Mother smiled happily: "Okay." But there was a touch of sadness in her eyes. If you can see such a beautiful thing with the person you love most, then you will be truly happy. Unfortunately, the late emperor is no longer here, and you can't watch this prosperous age with him.

Fireworks.

Everyone praised the thoughtfulness of the birthday gifts prepared by Prince Duan and his wife.

Bai Jiujiu used to be the laughing stock in everyone's eyes, but tonight she stole the show, and she was proud of her original owner.

On the carriage back to Prince Duan's palace, Bai Jiujiu looked at the man with a smile on his face and asked: "Your Majesty, I did a good job tonight, didn't I? That thousand taels of gold, hey, when can I give it to you?" The performance was perfect.

At the end, he couldn't wait to ask for his reward.

Xuanyuan Jin's deep cold eyes flashed with deep displeasure, and his voice was as cold as ice cracking: "Princess, who is good at making decisions, dares to ask for a thousand gold from me in exchange for the birthday gift I gave to the emperor's grandmother?"

Bai Jiujiu was unhappy after hearing this: "But the Queen Mother likes the birthday gift prepared by my concubine better."

"Did you know that you need to report in advance to light a fire? If there is a fire, can you be responsible for the consequences?" This little woman is too bold.

Fortunately, nothing happened. If something happened, the entire Duan Palace would be buried with him.

The reason why my father didn't pursue the case was because he was now responsible for the fire administration inside and outside the capital. The palace's fire administration was supervised by the imperial guards. Perhaps he thought he had greeted the imperial guards in the palace, but in fact he didn't know this at all.

thing.

Bai Jiujiu didn't know much when he first arrived, so he asked people to bring things to the palace, saying that they were birthday gifts prepared by Prince Duan's Mansion for the Queen Mother, and then he came in smoothly.

But what the man said makes sense. In ancient times, houses were made of wood. Once a fire broke out, the consequences would be disastrous. You must be more careful when doing things in the future, otherwise you could easily lose your life.

"So the prince is not going to give it to me? I also need money for those fireworks." Bai Jiujiu felt as if he had lost his wife and lost his army.

"A pair of Wannian Ruyi white jade cups are not enough to pay for those fireworks and a thousand gold coins?" The man did not intend to default on the debt. Only by letting her exchange what she cared about most for a lesson could she have a long memory.

Bai Jiujiu hesitated. Although one thousand gold would give her enough funds to start a business, the mutton-fat white jade cup was really rare.

As the saying goes, gold is valuable but jade is priceless. She believed that with her ability, she would be able to earn a thousand gold quickly, but she might not be able to buy such good jade.

In the end, Bai Jiujiu chose the White Jade Cup, no longer asking for a thousand gold, and he didn't suffer any loss anyway;

In the next few days, Bai Jiujiu renovated his residence to prepare for a rainy day.

She checked the calendar of this time and space and found that this year's winter solstice falls on November 28th. As the saying goes: Winter is at the head, sell the quilt to buy cattle, winter is in the middle, and nine of the ten cattle pens are empty. Winter is in the middle.

At the end of the day, it will freeze to death. From this, we can judge that this winter will be a cold winter.

In ancient times, when there was no heating and air conditioning to keep out the cold, it was necessary to prepare in advance to keep out the cold.

After finishing his busy work, Bai Jiujiu is ready to leave the house and find a partner to start his business.

As a result, the guards in front of the mansion told them that the female family members of the mansion were not allowed to leave the mansion without the prince's order.

There are so many rules in a small prince's palace. It's not possible to forcefully break through the rules, so I have to come and beg for a man.

According to the man's distaste for her, it was unlikely that she would be allowed to tell her directly, so she had to find another way.

In Zhaoyang Courtyard, Xuanyuan Jin stood in the courtyard wearing a large black cloak. There was not a single streak of color on the black fox fur collar. The fur collar was smooth and shiny, making the man with an already excellent temperament even more dignified and steady.

Nangong You was dressed in white and wore a spotless white cloak, looking elegant and elegant.

Black and white are in sharp contrast. They are both handsome and handsome, but they have two completely different temperaments.

"Qin Tianjian predicted that this year might be a cold winter, but the emperor and officials did not pay much attention to it. They thought that winters in the past were also called cold winters and they could be passed smoothly. There is no need to create panic this year. They are really afraid that what happened during the Wenli period of the previous dynasty will happen again.

"Nangong You, as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, cannot help but worry about the world's worries first.

If the cold freeze damages the wheat, it will also directly affect the next year's harvest.

"It is now November, and the weather is not as cold as last year. My father and the court officials feel that there is a discrepancy in the Qin Tianjian's prediction, so they do not pay attention to it. Once the cold wave really hits, everything will be too late. I am only responsible for the capital now.

The internal and external fire administration has no right to interfere with this matter.

If you are worried, you can continue to report, hoping to attract my father's attention."

Since he returned to Beijing to recuperate due to a serious illness, and after the military power was handed over, he did not have many rights.

There are some things that ministers can report to the court. If the prince interferes too much, he will be suspected.

"Okay, I'll tell you tomorrow morning." Nangong You knew his helplessness. We had known each other for many years and really felt aggrieved for him.

He is the most capable among the princes, but because he is too capable, he is not only jealous and ostracized by other princes, but also guarded and jealous by the emperor. It is really not easy along the way.

"Hi! Your Majesty." Bai Jiujiu poked his little head out of the door to inquire about the situation in the courtyard. The man happened to be facing her, and he caught sight of her at a glance. She had no choice but to wave and greet him, and walked in openly.

He came to a stop in front of the man, looked at him with clear black eyes, and asked seriously: "Your Majesty, have you looked in the mirror these days?"

The man was puzzled by her nonsensical words and ignored her.

Bai Jiujiu did not feel embarrassed, and continued: "Your Majesty, it is best not to look in the mirror. I am worried that Your Majesty will fall in love with her. It has only been a few days since I last saw you, and Your Majesty is much more handsome than before."

When Nangong You heard this, he couldn't help but laughed.

Only then did Bai Jiujiu notice the person standing beside him. His pupils suddenly dilated in disbelief. After being stunned for a few seconds, he said in surprise: "Idol." He quickly ran to Nangong You, grabbed his arm and asked, "Nangong Chen

, it’s really you, you’re really Nangong Chen, I’m your fan, I really like you, I’ve watched all the dramas you’ve acted in, and I’m preparing to act for you! I’ve successfully entered the crew now

I have become a special effects makeup artist, and the next step is to prepare to be an actor, getting closer to you little by little.

I didn’t expect to meet you here, what a fate! Can you sign your autograph for me?”

Nangong You was frightened, and pulled back his arm with an awkward smile, because he could already feel the cold air coming from his side, and quickly explained: "Princess, you have recognized the wrong person."

"Impossible, I have liked you for so many years, how could I recognize the wrong person?" Bai Jiujiu said firmly.

Xuanyuan Jin couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled her over and scolded her coldly: "Bai Jiujiu, are you deliberately embarrassing me?"

She actually confessed her feelings to other men in front of him, treating him like he was dead.

"Your Highness, how long has the princess been like this? I think it's better to find someone to do something for the princess! If we delay it any longer, I'm afraid she will go crazy." Nangong You approached Xuanyuan Jin and whispered.

"Your Majesty, he is really my idol. Can you let him sign his name for me? Just sign it on this dress. I will treasure it well." Bai Jiujiu's big eyes were full of expectation, as if a man could only refuse if he dared to refuse.
