It was the first snow of this year in the Jin City on December thirteenth. It was not a big one and only covered a thin layer of the ground. Yun Shang stood in the corridor and reached out to receive a piece of snow on her palm. The snow was thin and small that it quickly melted into a little drop of water.
Qin Yi hurriedly reminded her, "Your Majesty, you'd better not stand here. Although the snow is not heavy, it's still a little cold. Be careful not to catch a cold. If you catch a cold, I'm afraid that all the people in the Weiyang Palace will have to kneel in the snow today to apologize to his majesty."
Yun Shang turned to look at Qin Yi and snorted, "You've become more and more glib like Qian Zhuo. It seems that I should send Qian Zhuo to her former majesty. I don't want her to mislead the other people in the Weiyang Palace. "
Qian Zhuo heard Yun Shang's words in the room, so she raised her head and argued, "Your majesty, don't slander me."
Yun Shang and Qin Yi looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. Looking at the falling snowflakes, the smile at the corners of Yun Shang's mouth gradually faded. "These snowflakes make me think of the State of Ning. As soon as the winter came, the snow sprinkled on the ground in the State of Ning, with a thick layer of snow, which could be stepped on and creaked, and we could also make snowmen and fight with snow."
Hearing Yun Shang's words, Qin Yi also smiled, "Yes, in terms of snowy days, the State of Ning is better."
When they two were talking, they saw Pei Lan rushing in from outside the palace, drenched in snow, with plum blossoms in her arms. Pei Lan ran to the corridor, bowed to Yun Shang, and then exclaimed, "It's so cold."
Qin Yi looked at Pei Lan with doubt, "Didn't I tell you to go to the Shangyi Bureau to get new clothes? Where are the clothes? "
Pei Lan stuck out her tongue and said, "The steward of the Shangyi Bureau said that the clothes are not ready yet. He asked me to come back first and later they will send someone to bring them to us when they are ready." Then she looked at the plum blossoms still stuck with snow in her arms, and smiled innocently. "I just passed by the Imperial Garden and saw them blooming very well. I thought you would like them. As it is cold, your majesty cannot go out to enjoy them. So I picked some and put them in the vase."
Yun Shang smiled and nodded, "Good. Thank you."
"Your majesty, we've been standing here for quite a while. Let's go back to the room," Qin Yi persuaded softly.
Yun Shang nodded and smiled, "I feel as if my freedom is restricted. I can't do this or that. His majesty must be too careful about me. Anyway, I'm a martial artist, right? " Although she was still persistent, she turned around and walked towards the inner hall.
After entering the inner hall, Yun Shang took off her cloak and handed it to Qin Yi. Qin Yi hung it up and turned to Chen Ke, "Go and make a pot of tea for her majesty. Her majesty has been standing outside for so long, and she needs a pot of hot tea to warm her body."
Chen Ke n
be trained to be iron hearted by the arrows in the palace. If the woman didn't resist herself, she might only be trampled on by others.
Qin Yi walked up to Yun Shang and gently tied up Yun Shang's clothes. Yun Shang paused and said, "when you left Lady Liu that year, did she give birth to the seventh Prince?"
"Yes. When I left the Biyu Palace, the seventh Prince was more than three months old," Yu Qin replied softly.
Yun Shang had already put on her clothes. She walked to the bronze mirror and looked into it. The dress was in the color of rouge, which looked very beautiful. Although it was filled with a lot of cotton, it didn't look heavy. Yun Shang nodded. The Shangyi Bureau was good at making clothes. Yun Shang walked around and lay down on the couch. She took a sip of tea and continued, "Tell me what happened when Lady Liu gave birth."
Hearing this, Yu Qin was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent.
Yun Shang was not in a hurry. She drank a cup of tea leisurely and asked Yu Qin to make another cup. Then, Yu Qin said softly, "Maybe you won't believe me. Although I was Lady Liu's closest maid at that time, I really didn't know what happened on the day of Lady Liu's childbirth. No, it should be said that no one in the Biyu Palace knew about it. "
Yun Shang frowned and asked in surprise, "No one knew? Why? "
Yu Qin frowned, with a blank look in her eyes, as if she was recalling what had happened in the past. After a long time, she said, "Lady Liu had a few miscarriages before, and it was not easy for her to be pregnant for a full month. She must be very careful. She suspected that someone in the palace had hurt her, so she asked the Emperor to find a midwife outside the palace to help her deliver. The Emperor agreed. After Lady Liu's amniotic fluid broke, the Emperor sent guards to drive all the servants out of the Biyu Palace. I remember that the guard said that Lady Liu had ordered that no one was allowed to stay in the palace when she gave birth. Then the guards surrounded the whole Biyu Palace. "
