The sun shines on Li Can's little face, and her pink and jade-carved face seems to be even better than the color of snow, with picturesque eyebrows, black eyes and pink lips, and small gourd earrings of gold and jade swaying gently under her earlobes.
She added a bit of the coquettishness of her daughter's new growth.
Li Can accidentally caught a glimpse of a figure not far away, and she quickly looked up.
Zhao Zong withdrew his gaze the moment she raised her head and looked up at the sky in the distance.
"Brother Zeyu, you are back." Li Can dropped the shovel in his hand and ran towards him.
She didn't pay attention, her feet slipped, she screamed and rushed forward.
"Slow down." Zhao Zhi, with quick eyes and quick hands, took a step forward to meet him.
Li Can was throwing herself into his arms, raising her little face and smiling at him.
"How old you are, you are still not stable." Zhao Zhen let go of her.
Li Can laughed playfully, and suddenly raised his two small hands, which were red from the cold, and placed them on his neck.
However, Zhao Ji did not avoid it as she expected.
She couldn't help being surprised, took her hand away, looked at it, and asked him, "Isn't it cold?"
"Stop playing, you're going to get frostbite." Zhao Zong put her hands together and covered her.
Her small hands were placed between his, cold but still soft and soft, like a handful of snow that would melt into his palms at any time.
"I'm not cold." Li Can held his hand and said, "Brother Zeyu, please help me build a snowman. I can't make it pretty."
As she spoke, she pulled him to the crookedly piled snowman.
Zhao Ye looked at the strange snowman and was speechless for a moment.
Tang Qiu and the others hid behind their hands and snickered while covering their mouths.
"Brother Zeyu, please help me correct it." Li Can leaned over and took the small shovel and handed it to him politely.
"It can't be changed." Zhao Zhen took the shovel and looked at the snowman who couldn't say anything: "Shovel it and pile it up again."
Li Can was naturally obedient now and was helping obediently. She would do whatever Zhao Zong asked her to do.
What makes her feel amazing is that no matter what she does, as long as Zhao Zong is by her side to teach her, she can always do it well.
Soon, the two of them built a chubby snowman.
"Brother Zeyu made the pile very well, you are so awesome." Li Can looked at the snowman, and the more he looked at it, the more he fell in love with it.
She took off her cloak, put it on the snowman, tied it in a knot, and couldn't help laughing after taking a look at it: "Brother Zeyu, do you think this looks like me?"
Zhao Ye lifted up the crane cloak, pulled her in and held her in his arms: "It's time to have lunch."
"Tell me, does the snowman look like me?" Li Can raised her little face and looked at him.
"It's not like that." Zhao Zhi's hand held her slim waist tightly: "You are too thin. Eat more later."
"Okay." Li Can responded with a smile.
After lunch, the two took a nap.
"I'm going to the study to handle official business." Zhao Zong arranged Li Can's clothes and asked her in a low voice: "Are you going?"
Li Can hesitated and asked, "Do you want me to do my homework?"
"It's up to you." Zhao Zhe tied the cloak for her.
Li Can was worried and asked him again: "Is it okay if I just read the book?"
"Yes." Zhao Ye took her and walked out of the dormitory together.
In the study room of the inner hall.
Zhao Ye was handling official business in front of the desk, while Li Can was leaning on the soft couch by the west window, flipping through a book leisurely.
Wu Zai walked in and saw this scene and couldn't help but smile: "Your Highness, Miss Xia is here, looking for a girl."
"Sister Ah Yao is here?" Li Can closed the book and looked over.
"Yes." Wu Zai bowed his head and replied.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Zong asked.
"I said I asked the girl to accompany me to Yanhe Garden to enjoy the snow together," Wu Zai replied.
Li Can immediately sat up straight and looked at Zhao Hao.
Zhao Ye did not raise his head and kept writing.
Li Can stood up and walked over to him: "Brother Zeyu."
"Yeah." Zhao Ye responded lightly.
"I want to go." Li Can hugged his arm: "Can you let me go?"
Zhao Ye stopped writing and never raised his head.
"Brother Zeyu, are you okay?" Li Can coquettishly said: "I am obedient, I don't get into trouble, and I don't eat randomly."
Zhao Ye paused and said, "Go ahead."
"Brother Zeyu is so kind." Li Can leaned over, kissed him loudly on the cheek, and ran out with a smile.
"Walk well." Zhao Zhen said from behind.
Li Can slowed down his pace and walked out in an orderly manner, with a smile that couldn't be concealed on his face.
Wu Zao looked at His Highness's cold face and red ears, lowered his head and smiled secretly.
＊
Xia Jieyao was wearing a plain white cloak and was waiting outside the inner hall with a dignified manner. Her face was flushed by the north wind, but she still observed etiquette and was meticulous.
"Sister Can, you have figured it out."
Seeing Li Can, she greeted him with a smile.
"Sister Ah Yao." Li Can let her hold her hand and asked her with a smile: "Why don't you wait until now to enjoy the snow? You should go at sunrise in the morning."
Xia Jieyao looked around and lowered her voice: "It was the Ninth Princess and Wei Che who asked me to pick you up. They are waiting in Yanhe Garden."
When Li Can heard this, his eyes widened in surprise. He looked back and stopped: "Brother Zeyu will be angry."
They finally reconciled, and she didn't want to have trouble with Zhao Zong again.
"I'm just having tea, admiring the snow, and nothing else." Xia Jieyao led her forward and whispered: "Do you only have His Highness the Crown Prince in your eyes, and you don't have friends like us?"
"No." Li Can explained: "You also know that he has always been strict in disciplining me."
"Don't worry, we are all here, why don't you trust me?" Xia Jieyao looked at her with a smile.
"Of course, don't worry. Sister Ah Yao's rules are the best." Li Can followed her and got into the carriage.
"Didn't you say before that you won't have to come to the East Palace to be disciplined in the future?"
After sitting down, Xia Jieyao asked her with a smile.
"I entered the palace yesterday." Li Can explained: "Your Majesty said that if you are afraid that I will be naughty and cause trouble, you still have to discipline me, and you will wait until I am old enough."
"That's it." Xia Jieyao nodded and asked her softly: "Then I can't play with you in the future?"
"Why?" Li Can was puzzled.
"You are in the East Palace, how can I come to you all the time?" Xia Jieyao lowered his head and lowered his eyes: "This is not a place I can come to at any time."
"It doesn't matter, just come and find me." Li Can held her hand: "They will let you in."
"Seriously?" Xia Jieyao looked at her, her eyes lit up.
"Of course." Li Can nodded.
"Sister Can, thank you." Xia Jieyao was very touched: "I have been away for three years and I have no friends in the Imperial City.
Wei Che is a boy, and the Ninth Princess is always in the palace, so I can only look for you.
If you ignore me, I don't know who to turn to."
As she spoke, she was about to cry.
"How could I ignore you? Sister Ah Yao is my savior." Li Can quickly comforted her: "Stop thinking so wildly."
When we arrived at Yanhe Garden, Zhao Minghui and Zhao Yinhuan were indeed there, as were Kong Wenru.
Xia Jieyao poked her head out of the carriage and called out: "Wei Che, come and help sister Can."
"No, just sugar balls." Li Can said from behind.
Zhao Minghui came forward anyway, and Zhao Yinhuan and Kong Wenru stood on the edge of the pavilion and looked at this place.
"Is it cold?" Zhao Minghui held Li Can's wrist through his sleeves and helped her out of the carriage. His gleaming peach blossom eyes were full of smiles: "I've got tea, let's have some."
"I can't have tea yet." Li Can looked into the pavilion and called to Kong Wenru: "Wenru is here too."
"Yes." Kong Wenru lowered his head and replied to her.
"Don't I know you can't have tea?" Zhao Minghui smiled.
"Try the honey cheese he ordered for you." Zhao Yinhuan pulled Li Can into the pavilion.
Three sides of this five-corner pavilion were sealed with brocade, leaving only the sunny side on the west side, where a charcoal basin was burning, making it warm.
Li Can entered the pavilion and took off his cloak.
Zhao Minghui naturally stretched out his hand to take it and put it aside.
Zhao Yinhuan pulled Li Can: "Sit next to me."
"Here, give it a try." Zhao Minghui handed the cup to Li Can's hand.
Li Can took it and smelled the aroma of milk. She sniffed it gently: "It smells so good."
Zhao Minghui looked at her with a smile.
She lowered her head and took a sip, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she nodded with a smile: "Sweet, delicious."
"As long as you like it." Zhao Minghui put the teapot in front of her: "Here's more."
"Aren't you going to drink?" Li Can looked at them.
"You go ahead and drink it." Xia Jieyao smiled and said, "This is what Wei Che specially prepared for you."
"Thank you." Li Can smiled sweetly at Zhao Minghui.
Zhao Minghui felt that her smile was like candy melting in his heart, and he couldn't help but reach out and cover his chest, trying to calm his heartbeat.
The few of them were familiar with each other, and they talked and laughed very naturally. Only Kong Wenru remained silent.
Both Li Can and Xia Jieyao were interested in talking to her, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"Master, everything is ready." Shouzhen ran over.
"Let's go, I'll take you skiing." Zhao Minghui stood up and greeted them.
"Skiing?" Li Can was puzzled: "What kind of snow are you skiing on?"
"It's like Bingxi, but easier than that." Zhao Yinhuan explained.
Zhao Minghui looked back at her: "You'll know later."
"look."
When they arrived at the place, Zhao Yinhuan stretched out his finger to show it to Li Can.
This place was originally a large piece of flat grassland. Now, Zhao Minghui's people piled a lot of snow together to form a sloped snow path.
"Look at me."
Zhao Minghui took a skateboard, went up to the highest end of the snow path, threw the skateboard on the ground, and jumped on.
Then he slid down, he was tall and handsome, his clothes fluttered as he slid, he was very handsome and eye-catching.
Kong Wenru's face turned red.
"I can do it too, look at me." Zhao Yinhuan also went up.
"Come on, sister Can." Zhao Minghui greeted Li Can.
"I can't." Li Can shook his head enviously.
She has never played with this before and will definitely fall off.
"You sit down and skate, I'll teach you." Zhao Minghui waved, and Shouzhen immediately handed over the board.
"This way, hold on tight." Zhao Minghui squatted down and taught her carefully: "When you slide down later, you will rely on this to control the direction. You can't pull hard, it will turn over."
"I can definitely sit down." Li Can was ready to move.
"Then try." Zhao Minghui let go of his hand.
Little did he know that watching others skate and skating on his own were completely different things. Despite Zhao Minghui's repeated warnings, Li Can still fell halfway.
Zhao Minghui saw her rolling all over the floor like a puppy, laughing so hard that she could hardly stand upright.
"Come again." Li Can was unyielding and returned to the high place to start again.
After a few rounds, she got the hang of it and stopped doing it a few more times.
"Okay, it's getting dark, we should go back."
After playing for a long time, Zhao Minghui looked at the sky.
"Okay." Zhao Yinhuan responded: "If I don't go back, my mother will notice."
"You guys are here, I have a few words with Sister Can." Zhao Minghui explained and pulled Li Can aside: "This coat is wet. Remember to change it when you get on the carriage."
"I know." Li Can nodded and looked at him curiously: "Why is it so mysterious?"
"Open your mouth and give you something good." Zhao Minghui smiled and straightened her messy hair.
"What is it?" Li Can lowered his eyes and looked at his hands.
"Here." Zhao Minghui spread his palms.
"Milk Ball Lion Candy." Li Can's eyes lit up.
"Eat one, keep one." Zhao Minghui smiled and fed her one candy, and put the remaining one in her hand.
Li Can tilted her head to look at him, and Zhao Minghui's smiling eyes were surprisingly bright.
When Zhao Gong came, he saw this scene. He had just finished handling the official business at hand and came to take Li Can back for dinner.
