That day, it snowed very heavily.

Although I no longer feel anything around me, I still remember the suffocating feeling of walking back step by step from outside Pei Yuanzhen’s house that day. The heavy snow in the sky seemed to be pouring down like crazy, almost burying the entire earth.

There is only a piece of white left, without any edge, as if you can’t reach the end no matter how far you go.

And I was in such snow, one foot deep and one foot shallow, almost falling several times, but I kept walking.

When I walked back to Jingren Palace, I saw that my room had already been packed up, and Shui Xiu had been following me. Only then did he come forward and said, "My lord, the emperor said yesterday that he will move to Yihua today."

of the palace."

I turned around in a daze amid the falling snow.

My heart is as empty as this room.

After a while, I saw Mother Wu and several other young eunuchs who had received the news running over to pick me up holding umbrellas. They didn't pay much attention when they were far away. As soon as they walked in, they saw that I was as pale as a dead person.

Mother Wu was startled by her face: "What's going on?"

He bent down and grabbed my hand and squeezed it: "It's so cold!"

Shuixiu muttered: "Sir, you came back from - from outside."

"That's okay!"

Aunt Wu glanced at me again, then hurriedly escorted me out.

I have no idea how I got to Yihua Palace. I just remember that I was pushed into the room like a puppet. The stove was burning brightly and the room was warm, melting all the snow foam I brought with me.

, but I stood in the middle of the room and still felt that I was alone and very cold.

Aunt Wu found hot water to warm my hands and feet, and asked someone to make some ginger soup. She was so busy that she didn't forget to scold Shui Xiu: "I asked you to follow me, how did you follow me? Your Excellency is frozen."

Are you just watching from the side like this? I think your little hooves are getting worse and worse!"

Shuixiu had been squatting next to me. At this time, she carefully wiped my hands, raised her head and looked at me, and opened her mouth silently.

"Tell me, aren't you usually very smart?"

"I think it would be a little easier for you, sir, to come back like this."

"..."

Aunt Wu was stunned for a moment, then raised her head to look at me.

I sat on the edge of the bed, breathless, and let them fiddle with me without making a sound. Aunt Wu stopped talking and carefully warmed me up, then pushed me to the bed to rest and covered me with a thick blanket.

Thick brocade quilt.

I curled up and fell asleep alone in this somewhat unfamiliar palace.

I was sleeping in a daze, and I could feel that someone was watching over me. My heart was almost boiling, and I felt like my body was going to burst. But no matter what, I couldn't find anyone to talk to, and they also knew that I

My heart was burning with panic, and I didn’t say a word. After all, I burst into tears.

In the dream, I was shaking with pain.

When I felt being held by someone, I no longer knew the ups and downs in the nightmare, as if I was suffocating by drowning, and then I heard a deep voice calling me softly in my ear: "Qingying..."

When I opened my eyes, I felt that my eyes were very dry, as if I had been crying for too long. I was still looking at the curtain hanging on the bed in a daze. The grass embroidered with water-colored silk thread looked like I was still in a dream.

The voice said in my ear again: "Are you awake?"

"..."

I slowly turned around and saw Pei Yuanhao.

My vision was a little blurry. The first thing I saw was his thick fur coat hanging on the wooden frame beside the bed. I don’t know how long it had been since he came. The snow on the clothes had probably melted long ago, leaving only a few sporadic drops of water on the ground.

Dizzy; he was sleeping on the bed wearing only his underwear, his hands tightly around me, and his body temperature was like water that burst a dam and spread endlessly.

I didn't say anything, I just looked at him blankly.

There was no smile on his face, but his eyes were still very gentle. He slowly took his hand out of the quilt and rubbed my chin. His rough thumb moved and touched my lips.

I immediately shrank in pain.

"Does it hurt?"

"..."

"It will pass."

I still didn't move after listening to it, and just looked at him like this. Maybe because of his cold temperament, his face lacked expression all year round, and his lines looked colder than when he was a prince, but when he smiled, that kind of

The unexpected tenderness is enough to make many people drown in it.

My vision became a little blurry, and so did the smile on my face. I just looked at him lazily and smiled: "Yeah."

"..."

"This will pass."

When I was in the most difficult time, I told myself that everything would pass, and it was the same at this time.

Seeing my smile, he was slightly shocked. His hands hugged me tightly under the quilt, holding my slender body tightly in his arms. He put his chin on my shoulder and pressed his hand

Some of the hot cheeks rubbed my neck and face, and I breathed out an unspeakable lingering feeling: "Qingying..."

I didn't say anything, but I felt his hands slowly move along my waist to my shoulders, arms, and then covered my hands. Their fingers were intertwined with each other, with a hint of lingering, and he chuckled: "Look,

You, when you say you are a child, you are really sick. How can I let you take care of Nian Shen?"

My heart trembled when I heard it.

Just when I was about to turn around and say something to him, I heard him say softly: "I'll keep you sick for a while longer. Before I get up, you can help me get better."

"..."

"I will leave this son to you."

Later I found out that I was sick for two days at Yihua Palace.

Of course, the news that the emperor came to visit in person could not be hidden from anyone. I did not leave my room for a whole day. Although it was hard for people to say anything on the surface, it was enough to become a talking point for many people to make random guesses. Everyone was even more interested in me, the Zixian Zhengzi.

Look sideways, no matter how many rumors there were before, after all, at this time, I have not been officially canonized.

I don’t know whether it was intentional or not, but Qinghan and I haven’t seen each other since that day.

No matter how sick I was, or the emperor ordered him to accompany the injured eldest princess to study in the palace, he did not come to visit me, and I did not go to give him a meaningful congratulations like other courtiers.

The individual suddenly seemed to be placed in two completely different worlds. He couldn't see me, and I couldn't touch him.

In this way, the snow never stopped, and soon it was time to celebrate the New Year.

Compared with the past, my illness this time was really not a serious illness, but as soon as I sat in front of the mirror, I realized that I had lost a lot of weight, and the little flesh that I had gained on my chin had disappeared. Aunt Wu stood behind her, and she also

Sighing: "Everyone puts on weight in autumn and winter. Sir, look at you——"

I smiled lazily.

After a while, I finished washing up, put on my thick fur clothes, and went out to Jingren Palace. Now it was just a few steps away from the past. Yihua Palace was still some distance away from Chang Qing. Shuixiu and the others carefully helped me go there, and they were just at the door.

Through the call, Chang Qing's voice was heard: "Qingying? Come in quickly."

As soon as I walked in, the first thing I saw was the pearl that greeted me.

As soon as she saw me, she immediately leaned over to salute, and looked at me with very focused eyes. I just waved my hand gently and walked in. I saw Chang Qing sitting on the couch, so I went over to salute, and was caught by her.

He stretched out his hand to help him up: "Are you feeling better?"

I nodded.

A warm smile appeared on her face, but after looking at me carefully, she was still a little worried: "I have lost so much weight."

I couldn't help but reach out and touch my cheek, and also smiled: "Tomorrow's New Year's banquet, I will eat more."

Chang Qing raised her head.

When she mentioned the New Year's Eve banquet, her eyes seemed to twinkle.

At this time, she raised her hand and pointed to the other end of the soft couch. I had just recovered from a serious illness and couldn't breathe well after standing for a long time, so I apologized, walked over and sat carefully on the edge of the couch.

Kuan'er and the others were also smart. Even Mingzhu, who had just arrived at Jingren Palace a few days ago, was very discerning. They turned around and walked out. The room was quiet as if only the green smoke from the incense burner was slowly steaming up.

Chang Qing said softly: "I'm afraid she will use her tricks at the annual banquet tomorrow."

I smiled.

Nangong Lizhu had suffered such a big loss here before, not because after the annual banquet, Yan Wuyu said that there should be no large-scale celebrations and sacrifices in the palace. In addition, Chang Qing had previously "entrusted" the second prince to

The power to co-administer the Sixth Palace that she mentioned when she was speaking, and the position of concubine that she had long regarded as her own, will all fall into her hands.

Although Chang Qing still looks very calm and indifferent now, I also know that there are some things that she cannot really care about at all.

Even, I can faintly see some wrinkles between her eyebrows, which are the signs of people who often frown.

I smiled softly and said: "Queen, don't worry too much, now -" I lowered my head and looked at her still flat belly, and said softly: "It's better to take more care of it."

Seeing that I was really calm, as if there was still water without a ripple, the wrinkles between Chang Qing's eyebrows became deeper. She pondered for a long time, and then slowly said: "Qingying, I also know what you are capable of, but you must
