Outside the palace gate, Yu Wuhen had been waiting here early.
"Brother Prince." After Yu Xiaoxiao greeted him, he rubbed his hands and stood on tiptoes to look at the road ahead.
Yu Wuhen casually took off his big robe and put it on Yu Xiaoxiao's body.
"It's such a freezing cold day. Xiaoxiao is just feeling well. She's just waiting in the palace. If she catches a cold and her old illness relapses, the Queen Mother will definitely be blamed again."
Yu Xiaoxiao hurriedly put her hands, which were red from the cold, into her sleeves.
"Brother Prince only knows how to talk about Xiaoxiao. Brother Prince is also the same. If you don't know, you may think that there is a wife-watching stone outside the palace gate at some time."
The carriage from the Prime Minister's Palace came slowly and finally stopped not far from the palace gate.
"I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess." Luo Zhiyan was about to salute when he was helped up by Yu Wuhen.
"Prime Minister, there is no need to be polite."
"Brother Luo Ran." Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the carriage behind him and opened the curtain. As soon as Luo Ran stuck his head out, a few flakes of flying snow happened to fall on his hair and cheeks.
How beautiful it would be if time could stay at that moment, as if the snow fell just for him.
"Your Highness the Princess." Luo Ran bowed respectfully and returned his gaze to the carriage.
"It's snowing, Xiaojiu, be careful!" Luo Ran was still worried, and Luo Limao fumbled and picked him up from the carriage.
"Brother, let me down quickly. Look how beautiful the snow is!" Luo Li jumped out of Luo Ran's arms and went to play in the snow.
"Your Highness, please don't blame me. It's all my fault that the old minister's incompetent teaching made His Highness laugh." Luo Zhiyan gave Tao Yao and Zhu Cui a look to tell Tao Yao and Zhu Cui to keep an eye on them. The inner courtyard of the palace is not as good as the one in the Prime Minister's Mansion, nor is it Luo Li's.
A place where you can indulge as much as you want.
"Master, please slow down, the snowy road is too slippery, be careful of falling!" The snow gradually became heavier, Tao Yao and Zhu Cui entered the palace for the first time, and they were left behind by Luo Li after not long running.
Luo Zhiyan and Yu Wuhen had just arrived at the main hall when a servant came to report. Luo Zhiyan's face was as ugly as it could be.
"Master Prime Minister, what's going on? But what happened to Li'er?" Even if Luo Zhiyan didn't say anything, Yu Wuhen had a rough guess. He should have sent guards to follow her all the way, but he couldn't bear to defeat her.
The joy of playing in the snow.
Seeing that the civil and military ministers had almost arrived, Her Majesty the Queen would be arriving soon. It would be inappropriate for Luo Zhiyan to leave at this moment.
"Her Majesty the Queen has arrived!" Luo Zhiyan couldn't leave this time even if he wanted to.
"Long live Her Majesty the Queen!" After a tsunami of kneel-downs, Yu Qingli turned around and waved her sleeves to sit on the dragon throne.
"My dearest ministers, please be safe." Yu Qingli motioned to all the ministers to take their seats.
When Luo Zhiyan regained his composure, Luo Ran had quietly left the table, and Prince Yu Wuhen was also missing.
"Where is the prince?" Yu Qingli's face was a little unhappy. It was just something wrong for Yu Wuhen to be indulgent on weekdays. She shouldn't have acted recklessly at the New Year's Eve banquet.
The people in the East Palace hesitated and knelt on the ground. Luo Zhiyan stepped forward to explain. Thinking that Luo Li had not been heard from yet, he was afraid that he could not explain it.
"That's all, come and see why the Fourth Prince Luolai and Young Master Liancheng haven't arrived yet?"
Luo Li broke off a plum blossom branch somewhere, and saw that all the petals on it were destroyed by her ruthless hands, and then she was willing to throw the branch on the ground.
"Boring, it would be great if the master was here!"
"Why, it's only been half a month, and the city lord misses your master already. The relationship between the city lord and the master is really enviable to others." Bi Jiuluo searched for plum blossoms all the way. He thought it would be interesting to look for plum blossoms in the snow, so then
I found a little rabbit that was lost in the snow and was waiting to be found.
"Why is it you?" Despite the wind and snow, Luo Li recognized it at a glance. It was none other than the young master of Liancheng, Bi Jiuluo.
"Why, it's me, young master. Isn't the city lord very disappointed?" Bi Jiuluo stepped forward to help Luo Li up, and casually took out a white jade bottle from his waist.
"What are you going to do, young master?" Luo Li subconsciously wanted to pull her hand away, but Bi Jiuluo's grip tightened.
"This is master, no, this is the best medicine for treating frostbite in the Valley of Miracle Doctors. If I were the Lord of the City, I would obediently apply the medicine to avoid..." Bi Jiuluo suddenly paused.
"Thank you, young master." Luo Li instinctively felt that although she didn't know the purpose of the young master of Liancheng approaching her again and again, he probably had no ill intentions towards her.
"Master." If Luo Ran hadn't been there, Luo Li might not have been found, and Tao Yao and Zhu Cui were missing somewhere.
"Brother, Xiao Jiu won't dare anymore." Luo Li pouted and pulled Luo Ran's sleeves with a sense of grievance and pity.
"What's wrong with Xiaojiu's hand?" Luo Ran saw Luo Li's cold and red hand at a glance, and he couldn't bear to blame it.
Luo Li took out her hands and shook them in front of Luo Ran.
"Everything is fine. If you don't believe me, brother, look, the young master has already helped me with the medicine."
"It turns out to be Young Master Liancheng, thank you..." Before Luo Ran could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Bi Jiuluo.
"Thank you so much, I'm afraid I'll miss the New Year's Eve banquet, and Her Majesty the Queen will be blamed again."
I have long heard that Young Master Liancheng does not adhere to vulgar etiquette, but is a gentleman of glorious scenery, and it turned out to be so when I saw him today.
Luo Ran made a gesture of invitation and held Luo Li in his arms, hoping not to let her get lost again.
Until a group of people disappeared, and a man in blue brocade leaned down to pick up the abandoned plum branch.
"Fourth Prince, it's time for us to go to the banquet!"
"Okay!" Wen Shu just twisted the plum branch a few times in his hands and threw it into the snow.
"If the fourth prince likes it, after the palace banquet is over, my subordinates will send someone to break a few more branches and bring them back to the palace."
"Ahem, no need."
"Jiuluo pays homage to Her Majesty the Queen!"
Luo Ran originally thought about quietly bringing Luo Li back to his seat, but now it seems that he may not be able to do so.
"I was still thinking that Jiu Luo was the one who cherished time and observed etiquette the most. Something must have delayed him, but I didn't expect that it was this girl Luo Li." Yu Qingli casually motioned to the palace attendants to arrange for Bi Jiu Luo to sit down, but her eyes remained fixed.
It fell on Luo Li.
"Reporting to Her Majesty the Queen, Jiuluo and Miss Luo Li also met by chance. It's all because Jiuluo saw such a beautiful wind and snow for the first time. In a moment of greed, he pestered Miss Luo Li and missed the time. It's all Jiuluo's fault.
"Bi Jiuluo took all the blame on him alone. In the eyes of others, it was a good story, but in Yu Qingli's heart, it was a different story.
Not long after, the fourth prince of Brunei, Wen Shu, and the prince, Yu Wuhen, arrived one after another. At this point, all the ministers attending the banquet had arrived, and the New Year's Eve dinner officially began.
"Where did sister Li'er go just now? Do you know that the Prime Minister and I are really anxious?"
Luo Li only had eyes for the delicacies on the jade plate, and she didn't care what Yu Wuhen was talking about at the side.
"It'll be good if sister Li'er returns safely." Yu Wuhen picked up a chicken leg and placed it in Luo Li's bowl.
Luo Li's mouth was so stuffed that she finally squeezed out two words.
"Thanks!"
Yu Wuhen's ears must have heard correctly, since Li'er said thank you to him instead of "get out".
Yu Wuhen only felt a ball of fire burning in his heart. He couldn't hide it even if he wanted to, so he had to bravely move towards Luo Li.
"After today, I will be eighteen years old."
"Oh!" Although the prince was nagging a little, the chicken drumstick was innocent after all, and Luo Li just took a big bite.
"I can marry you as a royal concubine!" This chapter has been completed!
