Chapter 52(1/4)

Just as the beginning of winter was approaching, Liu Anan was staying in Yuanchen Hall and refused to go out.

When I was searching for Nanjun, there seemed to be no difference between indoors and outdoors in winter. Even if the charcoal basin is placed, the indoor temperature cannot be raised. What's more, the adopted mother told me that the children's room should not be frequently used. The charcoal fire would be poisonous if the charcoal fire was not ventilated. If her maid and her mother were not well taken care of, she would be harmed in vain.

So I lit a charcoal pot during the day and barely spent the winter by relying on soup at night.

In winter, when you are indoors, you are covered with thick cotton coats. Try not to go out if you can go out. In the room, you also close the surroundings and wrap them in a quilt to read books.

Unexpectedly, the climate in the capital was very different.

Not only were there blast furnaces burned with charcoal fires in the hall, but there were also heating objects that she could not tell.

A few ventilations were left in the side window, and the rest were closed. The huge hall could actually heat up. There was no need to wrap thick clothes and wear a thin skirt.

But outside the three thick curtains, I opened the hall door and walked out, and when I stepped out, I could feel the cold outside that was so cold that it was so cold that I felt the coldness in my heart.

Who dares to go out?

The palace maids in the hall also changed their clothes. When they came in and out, they wore a long fluffy cloak. They took them off as soon as they entered the hall door, so as not to bring the cold outside the hall to Liu An'an.

"Beauty, I have gone to find it. The jade carving master who once worked in the palace is two old palace ladies, and they were all sent out of the palace last year. Now the one who can make jade carvings in the Sigong Bureau is Li Sizhen."

Jun Qing took off his cloak when he entered the hall, warmed his body beside the charcoal pot, and then came to Liu An'an with a tray.

A long table was filled with various jade carved hairpins.

Liu Anan supported his cheek with one hand, playing with the already-formed jade hairpins in his hand.

Jun Qing put down his hands one by one, looking at different kinds of different kinds of jade hairpins.

"These are all obtained by my servants from Li Sizhen, and all of them were made by her own hands. Please check it out."

Liu Anan picked up his jade hairpin and looked at it.

The whole body is made of jade, with carved hairpin head and three plums, with pink jade on it, and the core of the flower stamen is topaz. Pinch it in your hand and turn it around, and the petals on the hairpin head appear vividly.

It looks a bit good.

But no matter how you look at it, this delicate and excessive method is always not suitable for tyrants.

If she simply made it for the concubines in the palace, she would still have good skills. She would even like it, but she would have a little less suitable for men.

"The skill is good." Liu Anan looked through a jade-carved hairpin again. It was indeed the gentleness full of powdery atmosphere. The carving technique was exquisite. He was considered a master, but it still couldn't.

"Apart from Li Sizhen, no one else is good at jade carving?"

Jun Qing was embarrassed: "Reporting to the beauty, when His Majesty ascended the throne, a large number of palace servants were sent out in the palace. Those who were once good at jade carving were all left with only the female officials of Sigong Bureau. In addition, there were very few female officials in the palace who needed jade carving, so there were also few female officials who learned jade carving. Since the female officials of Sigong Bureau have learned art, there have been less than ten years of experience. They may not be able to reach the level that the beauty wants."

"If the beauty looks down on Li Sizhen, it may be a bit difficult."

This is not possible. Liu Anan was also in a little trouble.

She thought Li Sizhen's craftsmanship was good, but she didn't realize that she could make a jade hairpin that satisfies the tyrant.

But there was no one else in the palace except her.

what to do?

It’s already winter now. If she wants to use this jade hairpin as a gift to His Majesty when she leaves before her birthday, wouldn’t it be too late?

"The beauty doesn't have to be looked for in the palace."

The maid Linglong came back from the tea room and put it on the long table with a steaming teacup. She glanced at the jade hairpin on the table and said to Liu Anan with a smile: "I heard that there are a lot of jade carvings outside the palace, and Sister Junqing also said that there were some jade carvings released from the palace last year. Why wouldn't the beauty try to look out of the palace?"

"This is feasible!" Liu Anan just agreed, but Jun Qing stopped him, "This method is probably not appropriate. The beauty may not know that the palace servants must not leave the palace. Even the little palace maids below cannot walk to the palace gate at will."

"Beauties are different from others, so why not ask Your Majesty if you can give them a palace sign to travel freely?"

The maid's question made Jun Qing hesitate a little.

"Although it's not impossible, the beauty is the concubine in the palace. If she travels casually, it's probably inappropriate."

It turns out that you can really go out at will!

Liu Anan's eyes lit up, and he stared at Jun Qing: "What's going on with that free travel palace card? Tell me quickly."

I think she had too shallow knowledge. I remember that when she was in the palace, she never went out freely. Only a few times, when the whole family was traveling, her adoptive father took her to a place where no one was, allowing her to have a good time.

Just a few times, she has been obsessed with for many years.

After entering the palace, the tyrant took her out so once. As a result, she encountered that kind of thing, which was a bit unsatisfactory to remember...unsatisfactory.

It turns out that I can’t go out after entering the palace, and I can still travel freely!

There is such a good thing?!

"This..." Jun Qing couldn't resist Liu An'an and could only tell her in detail, "It's just because the female relatives in the palace sometimes want to interact with their parents' homes and would give them a palace card. Generally speaking, they were given to the concubine's parents' family. As long as they wanted to enter the palace, they would hand over the sign."

"If the beauty's family is in the middle of the capital, it will be much easier. Let Linglong go back and give a few instructions, and the beauty's family will naturally do things for the beauty."

Jun Qing's sentence reminded Liu An'an.

If she is from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, the royal family in the capital can be regarded as a relative, wouldn't it be...

"Although the beauty can't go out, I can," Linglong said to Jun Qing with a smile, "If our palace maids leave the palace, it is not as troublesome as the beauty leaves the palace. Why not get the brand? I will go out of the palace for the beauty to find a jade carver?"

"If this is the case, it is better than the beauty who leaves the palace in person."

But Liu Anan still wanted to go out by himself.

"What if I still want to go out?"

"If the concubine of the palace wants to leave the palace, it is not as simple as getting a brand. The free travel that Linglong said actually does not exist. It is just allowing the concubine of the palace to do things cheaply. If there are such things, it is okay to leave the palace once or twice occasionally."

"However, if the beauty really leaves the palace alone, there will probably be a lot of trouble in the future." Jun Qing replied.

Liu Anan heard a lot and could probably understand Jun Qing’s meaning.

Simply put, the palace card can indeed be released from the palace, but it is best for her not to use it.

If you can, you won’t go out because there will be troubles.

Wouldn't it mean that even if you have that palace card, it would be the same as nothing?

It would be fine if Liu Anan didn’t know about it. Since he knew that there was this existence, how could he be willing to do it if he didn’t try it?

"I still want this palace card."

Jun Qing couldn't help but said helplessly: "Since that's the case, the beauty can mention a little to Your Majesty. But I don't know whether Your Majesty will agree."

"It's definitely true!" Liu Anan raised his chest, "I'll try to please His Majesty more. Just a palace card, you can get it right."

Liu Anan disliked the cold weather and didn't want to go out, so he directly sent Junqing to Qinzheng Hall to ask for a palace card.

Jun Qing went back sooner. When she took off her cloak, Liu Anan couldn't help but run out of the inner hall, wearing a thin light-colored shirt and skirt, and came barefoot.

With his hand stretched out, she hurriedly urged: "Pretty card palace card!"

Jun Qing was afraid that Liu An'an would be frozen, so he took two steps back, then folded his hands on his chest and bent his knees to salute: "Reply to the beauty, palace sign--no."

"Why?"

Liu Anan was puzzled.

A palace card, don’t the tyrant really plan to give it to her?

"Your Majesty said..." Jun Qing was only halfway through his speech, and the second half was a little choked.

"What did Your Majesty say?" Liu Anan asked. She swept over Jun Qing's hands unwillingly, and she could not find a palace card no matter how hard she stared at it.

Jun Qing closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he tried not to look at Liu An'an, and he imitated the tone of the tyrant with a stern face: "I want a palace card? Tell her - I think beautifully."

Liu Anan was stupid.

Think beautifully?

Think beautifully?

It's just a small, not a lot of troublesome palace card. The tyrant actually said that she thought beautifully!

Jun Qing hurried to comfort her: "Beauty, the palace card is not as simple as the beauty thinks. At least I know that since the late emperor, no palace concubine has ever received this palace card."

"I don't know where Linglong knew." Jun Qing said, looking at Linglong who was serving Linglong on the side with complicated eyes.

Linglong's tone was innocent: "I heard someone mention it when I was chatting with my sisters in the palace."

Liu Anan was nervous. She suddenly thought that the maid was given to her by her righteous brother. Eighty-mostly she knew more than her. Then it was normal for her to know a little. But Jun Qing didn't know. What if she asked her what to do if she was exposed.

"It should be so. Linglong loves to joke with others, but she knows it." Liu Anan changed the topic without any trace, "If you go to Qinzheng Palace, your Majesty will tell you, saying that I think beautifully, but I have said, how can I allow me to give the palace card?"

"Reporting to the beauty, Your Majesty did not say such a thing. Why don't this palace beauty be forgotten? You can tell Your Majesty that you can send your ministers to find a jade carver, why bother to go out of the palace to find it?"

"That won't work."

Liu Anan shook his head and counted the days by counting his fingers.

Her birthday was on the day of the winter solstice. Now it’s just winter, and it’s only less than two months in between.

If you can't find a good jade carver now, then there will be less time left for the jade carver to carve. If you can't keep improving, how can you give the best tyrant?

No, absolutely not! She must get this palace card and find a good jade carver herself!

But what should we do with the tyrant?

He actually refused.
