Chapter 462
I had a happy New Year holiday. The queen regained the power of the palace. Of course, the four concubines and the imperial concubines separated the power, and everyone was evenly matched.
From this we can also see that the emperor is actually a person with a strong desire to control and has reserved his trust in the person beside him. Jingfu often talks about this issue with Li Wenhao, borrowing the matter from the harem to remind him that it is better not to be overwhelmed, peace is a blessing.
We still have to attend the New Year banquet, but it was very painful. It was very cold in the hall. Fortunately, I didn’t bring Sister Yu, otherwise I would have to be frozen and sick.
This year it was particularly cold and it was snowing heavily. A lot of stoves were placed in the hall, but because the hall was indeed too empty, those stoves were useless at all.
After the banquet, everyone hurriedly said a few words and hurried out of the palace. When they returned to the carriage, Brother Qi was so cold that he stamped his feet.
"I'm frozen to death, mom, I'm so painful to do this every year."
Brother Qi raised his hand and roasted the fire on the small stove. Jingfu quickly carried the kettle and poured a bowl of mutton soup for them each.
The kettle contains mutton soup, and the small stove is of specialty. You can bake pancakes on the side. Jingfu has arranged it in advance. You can immediately eat some hot soup when you leave the palace, and it is frozen inside.
"Hurry, drink some soup Nuannuan. Brother Yi, you can drink some too, you must not get cold."
Jingfu took them a bowl in turn.
"Mom, I'll do it, you drink it first."
Brother Yi took the kettle and poured a small bowl for his father.
"It's really cold this year. I don't know how it's going on in the countryside. The snow is getting heavier and heavier."
Li Wenhao also muttered worriedly.
"Who is in charge of this Beijing affairs?"
Jingfu drank the hot soup in a sip, held the bowl in her hand and felt the warmth brought to herself by the heat, and breathed comfortably.
"Li Wenjin, who else can it be? He is in charge of the Ministry of Works."
Li Wenhao drank a sip of the soup, broke the cakes and put them in the soup and soaked them. He didn't eat anything at all at the banquet. He just drank and couldn't eat them. It was too cold. It was all white flowers, and the vegetarian dishes were frozen into a layer of ice flowers, which made him even colder after eating. However, the wine was warmed by a wine warmer, which was barely hot.
"I don't know if he had asked someone to encourage the public to sweep the snow together, otherwise the snow would have been so heavy that it would have collapsed the roof. Some of the houses of poor families are thatched huts, and the tiles may not be very strong."
Jingfu muttered.
"Oh no, I forgot this."
Li Wenhao slapped his forehead and said that if something really happens, no one can escape and be scolded. It would be unlucky to have this happen during the Chinese New Year.
"I'll go block him and ask me if I'll explain it, otherwise something will happen. Have you done it with the porridge?"
"I've done it. It's been almost two months since I've done it. There is a place in front of our village. I even asked someone to make bone soup and add windproof medicinal herbs. You can drink a bowl of it. Don't worry about this. I specifically explained it in advance this year. I will continue to go until after April."
Jingfu smiled and had expected it to be so hot that it would be in summer.
"You are still experienced, I'll go and have a look."
Li Wenhao finished drinking the hot soup in one sip and prepared to get off the car and go to find Li Wenjin.
It happened that Li Wenjin knocked on the carriage and came to find him.
"I'm going to talk to you."
"Sister-in-law, I'll give me a bowl of whatever I eat. It's too cold."
Li Wenjin was also so cold that her hands were red.
"Uncle, will you give it to you? "
Brother Qi was obedient and immediately served a bowl of soup for Li Wenjin and handed over a cake.
"I have something to ask you for trouble. It's so snowy. I want to ask you for help. Go to the countryside to sweep the snow and check the house. Don't have any trouble. It's too cold. It's not enough to rely on women to give up porridge and get medicine. I want you to talk to the emperor about this."
Li Wenhao glanced at him, "Why don't you go and say it?"
"I have this face and don't need you to help me. If something happens, I will be scolded."
Li Wenjin smiled and slowly drank the hot soup, then she felt that she had come back to life and was almost frozen to death.
"Where is your wife, let's take a sip of hot soup."
Jingfu asked.
"I'm leaving, she has it in the carriage. Don't worry, it's too cold, I'll let her go back first."
Li Wenjin shook her head.
"Brother Hao, please help him, otherwise where will the people go in the middle of winter? It will be too miserable."
Jingfu was considering that once the houses of ordinary people were crushed, they could only sleep in the open air during the cold weather, especially during the Chinese New Year.
"Okay, let's go to the emperor now. To use the army, he must have his consent."
Li Wenhao became more cautious in his actions. Now, he was no longer as good as when his father was emperor, so he naturally had to ask for instructions in everything.
"I'm so annoying. Let's go. How could my father be so troublesome when he was alive?"
Li Wenjin also sighed. He knew everything in his heart. Now he is much more sensible and calm than before. He seems to have changed his own people. There is no way, is the situation better than others?
"Stop talking, good days are too much, right? I don't have a door-to-door."
Li Wenhao glared at him unhappily, and Li Wenjin snorted and said nothing.
"Dad, do you want me to go with you?"
Li Wenhao paused for a moment and thought, "This is the case, you come with Brother Qi and run errands with your uncles and see the sufferings of the people."
"Okay."
Brother Yi and Brother Qi also had almost the same food. Jingfu took advantage of their time to talk to re-install the hand heater. There were extra items on the carriage, and one of them stuffed in each hand.
"Hold Nuannuan and don't freeze."
"Thank you sister-in-law, then we'll go first, this matter cannot be delayed."
Li Wenjin thanked politely.
"Go, your attitude is better. Hundreds of people with family members are counting on you."
Jingfu reminded me without leaving any trace, don’t be tampered with a temper.
"Why."
Li Wenjin paused for a moment and still focused on the key points. She could listen to the advice more than before, and she grew up a lot, like a man.
"You go back first, don't wait for us. We can just take another carriage back later."
Li Wenhao told the coachman to take Jingfu back quickly and what to do if there is freezing disease.
"Okay, I get it."
Only then did Li Wenhao take Li Wenjin and his son back to the palace and go to discuss matters with the emperor.
Jingfu looked at it and said, "Qingdai, come and help me put the charcoal fire in the stove into the carriage, and the soup will also leave them warm, otherwise it will be frozen thoroughly when we go home, and it doesn't matter if there is no charcoal fire. The coachman can watch the fire in the carriage and warm it up."
"yes."
The coachman and Qingdai moved a carriage to keep it for Li Wenhao and the others. I don’t know when it will come out, and I’m afraid there will be not enough charcoal.
Jingfu then left with the carriage. Fortunately, the carriage was specially made. In winter, the outer layer was covered with wool felt, so it would be slightly better if it was not airtight.
When they arrived home, the eldest nanny and others quickly helped Jingfu take off the fox fur cloak and brought her hot water to warm her up.
"It's frozen. I have someone burned hot water. Hurry up and take a bath and soak for a while. The prince and the young master have not come back."
"I went to the palace to ask the emperor to discuss matters. It was so snowing so hard that Li Wenjin was afraid of crushing the people's houses. He was causing trouble and asked the emperor for help."
