"The aftertaste is sweet. This is indeed a good wine." Chu Miao'er figured it out and filled another glass for herself. "I will ask Miss Yang San to ask someone to bring you some more from Xiling. I have seen you in Xiling.
Many Dongjue merchants should be able to bring me a few pots. By the way..." She thought for a moment and then added, "The vendor who provided flowers to the second prince's house also often met Dongjue.
There are people coming and going, I will help you ask the second princess tomorrow."
This wine is very similar to Al Yunduo. It smells warm and bold, but is actually sweet and delicate.
"Okay!" Al Yunduo sat up happily, then slowly sat back down in frustration, shaking his head and saying, "It's better not to go find Yang Jinxi. She is probably too busy taking care of herself right now. How can she have time to help me find wine...
...I think it’s better not to bother her.”
Seeing her eyes gradually dimming, Chu Miaoer suddenly felt inexplicably uneasy. However, when he thought about it, Yang Jinxi had no personal contact with her. Al Yunduo stayed in the palace all day and could only hear a little bit of information from the emperor's mouth.
, and where can I get the news about Yang Jinxi?
The more Chu Miaoer thought about it, the more scared she became. She quickly put down the wine glass in her hand and asked nervously: "Could something have happened to her?"
"It's not that something happened to Yang Jinxi, but that the entire south of Xiling has suffered from a sudden heavy snowfall that has made it difficult for officials to travel. The people are now short of food and clothing, and the people sent to provide relief are blocked by the snow and can't get in. This is also
I went to Qiankun Palace and overheard what the emperor and the prince said when they were arguing," Al Yunduo sighed slightly, "but the father and son were very unhappy because of this. It seems that the emperor wanted to build a palace but the prince refused.
....."
After hearing what she said, Chu Miaoer understood why Fu Yunqi always looked sad when he returned home during this period. It seemed that it was also for this reason. "Always thinking about the suffering of the people and always cultivating the virtues of government" is what a wise king should do.
Fu Deyou has obviously lost his qualifications, but is it too early for Fu Lilian to argue so hard? After all, the veterans in the court are still waiting to see.
"This year the snow seems to have fallen much earlier than in previous years..."
Chu Miao'er returned to her house restlessly. When she saw Fu Yunqi sitting in front of the desk, her anxious heart suddenly calmed down.
"Back?" Fu Yunchi raised his head and looked down, then lowered his head and wrote something seriously.
Seeing him so entranced, Chu Miao'er smiled and took off her cloak to Baitao, and curiously leaned over to take a look, but she didn't see what he was painting. It wasn't until Fu Yunchi made the last stroke that she could vaguely see it.
This is a picture of a group of people trying to survive in the ice and snow.
"The Queen didn't even let you have dinner?" Fu Yunchi stood up and took her, but was startled by the warmth of her fingertips. He quickly brought her to the stove, covering her hand while muttering, "What's wrong with your hand?"
Is it so cold? Didn’t you hold a hand stove when you went out?..."
Seeing the nervous look on his face, Chu Miaoer couldn't help but laugh.
"The heavy snowfall is coming this year. The farmers must have suffered heavy losses, right?" She asked straight to the point, "How is Xiling?"
Fu Yunqi shook his head unusually calmly. He seemed not surprised at all that she would ask this question. He looked at her with a chuckle: "Did you go to see Al Yunduo before leaving the palace?" Although it sounded like a question, listen carefully.
But he said it very firmly.
Seeing that Chu Miao'er was very serious, he also put away his smile and replied seriously, "So far, there shouldn't be any big problems. The disaster relief food from the court has been arriving outside Xiling City one after another. It's just that the road was blocked by heavy snow.
, it just takes some time for them to go in, Yang Mansion can handle it."
"Have you sent someone in to take a look?" Chu Miao'er also said in a very confident tone.
"I knew you would be worried about Miss Yang San, so I sent someone to check it out a long time ago," Fu Yunchi put his arm around her shoulders in a funny way, and put his chin on the top of her head affectionately, and said with a smile, "She is now personally taking the servants of the house.
When we are rescuing the victims in Xiling, with Yang Mansion supporting us from the front, even if the court is delayed by ten days and a half, people will not die of hunger, so you can rest assured."
There was a hint of admiration in his tone. Chu Miaoer rarely saw this expression from Fu Yunqi. This was appreciation and approval from the bottom of his heart. Yang Jinxi always talked about business and money.
Although he was talking about it, he was still willing to stand up and support the people of Xiling when he was surrounded by enemies on all sides. They all did not misunderstand Yang Jinxi.
"You were so worried the past few days. If this matter hadn't been properly resolved, how could the fourth prince be so leisurely and elegant painting at home?" Chu Miao'er said jokingly, "I think you're like this
The idle prince is not as comfortable as your brother. Now that he has a beautiful woman in his arms and listens to his whispers, and a prince below his knees to worry about state affairs, he is very happy now. Except for the prince and you who make him unhappy, there should be no one to face him.
Did you do it right?”
Fu Yunqi smiled and shook his head, unable to comment. He knew she was joking, but he still reminded him softly: "You'd better not get too close to that Al Yunduo in private. Now you're talking as eloquently as her."
Obscuring."
The two of them were laughing and chatting, and it wasn't until they were lying on the bed and watching the waning moon creeping up the branches quietly outside the window that Chu Miaoer remembered that she was so busy playing around with Fu Yunchi that she forgot to go find Wan Niang, and she immediately felt a little annoyed.
"Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow." She mumbled twice as she was heavily sleepy, turned over and nestled into Fu Yunchi's arms.
Perhaps because he felt a lot more relaxed, Fu Yunqi slept particularly deeply this time. For the first time, he and Chu Miaoer slept together until dawn. Chu Miaoer was planning today's schedule when Baitao ran in to talk about the palace.
There are people inside, please invite them two to enter the palace. In an instant, all the plans were ruined. It turns out that plans can change quickly.
But this was the first time she had been invited to the palace by Xu Ning in such a long time. Except for Xu Ning's first entrance to the palace and a few meetings during her wedding, it seemed that they had never had any other interactions. At this time, it was announced that she had entered the palace.
Why?
Fortunately, there was someone waiting at the door, so Chu Miaer was not at a loss.
"The Fourth Prince, the Fourth Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess are already waiting inside. Please follow me in." He smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed to slits, and he looked particularly happy.
Chu Miaoer remembered him as Xiao Lizi, Fu Lilian's personal eunuch. It was said that when Fu Lilian and Chu Xianxue were deeply in love, he did a lot of work and sent countless love letters.
"Eunuch Li, please lead the way." Chu Miao'er nodded and responded politely. Little Lizi didn't expect that the fourth princess actually knew her name, and she felt arrogant when she walked. She inadvertently glanced in front of her.
Xiao Lizi, who was smiling from ear to ear, suddenly felt happy. He was such an interesting person. It was hard for Fu Lilian to be in a bad mood when he saw him every day.
"Uncle Huang," Fu Lilian saw them coming in, quickly stood up to greet them, and called with a smile, "Aunt Huang."
We haven’t seen each other for a long time. Xu Ning’s already thin body looks a lot thinner, and there is a hint of weariness in her smile. It must be difficult to manage the affairs of the harem, even for a woman with such an exquisite mind.
You can take over it over time.
"Uncle Emperor, let's go to the front hall to talk. Li Lian has some things he wants to discuss with you." After a few words of greeting, Fu Li Lian suddenly said.
Probably guessing that Fu Lilian had some state affairs that he wanted to discuss with Fu Yunchi, Xu Ning immediately smiled and smoothed things over: "Yes, the concubines in the harem are not allowed to listen to the government affairs of the previous dynasty. You go and talk about your country's important affairs. Let's talk about my daughter's family."
Little things at home don't interfere with each other, don't you think so, Auntie Huang?"
As the daughter of the Minister of Justice, Xu Ning has been strict since she was a child. When she first got married, in order to secure Fu Lilian's position as the crown prince, she had to understand the direction of the court. Now it is unreasonable to interfere in the previous government affairs. But it seems that Fu Lilian should be able to return to the palace.
He would not deliberately mention anything about the court to her. The two of them, one responsible for the outside world and the other for the internal affairs, each guarding their own side, are a perfect match.
"The relationship between the emperor's aunt and the emperor's uncle is still so good, so my conscience is more stable." Xu Ning and Chu Miao'er walked side by side to the pavilion in the backyard. She pointed inside and said, "Let's go there, it's warmer.
.”
In order to isolate the wind and snow, a transparent curtain has been surrounding the pavilion. It is freezing and snowy outside, but inside there is chatting and laughing and drinking hot tea, which is a different feeling.
Chu Miaoer followed her in and found out that there was a small heater thoughtfully prepared in the middle of the pavilion, with melons, fruits and hot tea available. Everything was prepared properly. It can be seen that Xu Ning is really a thorough and meticulous person.
woman.
"To tell you the truth," Xu Ning seemed a little embarrassed to say, "I met Miss Qin once in Xiangfu Palace when she first entered the palace. Later, she often came to the East Palace to chat with me. I felt sorry for her when I saw her alone.
Treat each other sincerely. But if I had known that the imperial grandmother had such intentions at that time, I would not have talked to her about you and the imperial uncle, so now I still feel ashamed..."
It turned out that she and Qin Luoge had known each other for a long time... No wonder Qin Luoge was so popular with the Queen Mother in the palace.
"Why are you talking about her now that everything is over? Could it be that you forced her to enter the palace? Or did you force her to marry the Fourth Prince?" Chu Miaoer looked at her stunned expression and covered her mouth.
He chuckled and said, "It has nothing to do with you, so why bother with it."
Xu Ning looked at her intently for a while and then smiled. It turned out that the words "Princess Sister" on the left and "Princess Sister" on the right mentioned by Concubine Yun were really not a lie. No wonder even a perverse and domineering person like Al Yunduo could learn from it.
convergence.
"On the contrary, the Crown Princess..."
"Ning'er," Xu Ning said with a smile, "Auntie Huang can just call me by my name in private without using the honorific, otherwise I will look unfamiliar."
Chu Miao paused for a moment and followed her intention and called "Ning'er". Although it was just an insignificant title, it did make their relationship closer unknowingly.
