C226

At the beginning of October, the first heavy snow fell on the capital. The capital was covered in silver overnight, and Ye Jinsu's winter robe had grown thicker by a few layers. When she woke up, she opened the window and saw another snow-white world. Her mood brightened up a lot.

Ye Jinsu stood at the door wrapped in a robe, wondering when those two plum trees would blossom. She was lost in thought. She leaned against the doorframe of the door, looking at the snow. Ning Yunyin leaned against the window, looking at her.

As if she had been standing there for a while, her shoulders were covered in snow. Ye Jinxiu was slightly surprised. "Why didn't you come in?"

Only then did Ning Yunxiao move a few steps. He brushed the snow off his shoulders and said, "I thought you were still blaming me. I thought you might not want to see me."

Ye Jinsu was dumbfounded. She was just about to say that regardless of whether she was willing or not, you still appeared, didn't you? However, Ye Jinsu opened his mouth and only said in the end, "Come in, it's cold outside."

The north wind was blowing furiously. The wind was filled with ice dregs, and Ye Jinsu saw that some of them had already landed on his neck.

There was charcoal in the house, and it was very warm. Once Ning Yun entered, the snow on her shoulders melted and turned into water droplets that dripped down her hair. Ning Yun looked at Ye Jinsu and said before she could open her mouth, "I won't force you."

Ye Jinsu looked at him with her mouth wide open. When she saw that he was about to continue speaking, she said, "If you don't want to, I won't force you. So don't worry, no one will force you."

Ning Yunyin's voice was calm, giving people a sense of security in the warm room. Ye Jinsu knew that he was serious.

"As for the Yu family, you don't have to worry. They won't be a threat to you." Ning Yunyin asked. He definitely wouldn't allow such a thing to happen. He wanted to grant Ye Jinsu's wish to live a peaceful life.

His retreat was firm, and Ye Jinsu was slightly surprised.

After a long silence, Ye Jinsu finally understood that the reason he came here today was to discuss these things with her. Ye Jinxiu lowered her eyes and clutched the thermos tightly. She couldn't help but speak, "Then …"

"Why?" Ning Yunyin asked.

Ye Jinsu's gaze fell on the ground and her lips moved a few times. In the end, she only smiled and shook her head, "It's nothing."

She wanted to ask if Ning Yunyin had agreed to the Grand Princess' arrangement to marry Yu Yao'er. However, Ye Jinsu thought that this might be the best way, and Yu Yao'er might be able to help him.

Therefore, in the end, Ye Jinxiu didn't ask any further questions and just sat down in silence.

Meng Lan walked in from outside. She didn't know that she had broken the awkward atmosphere in the room, "Miss, it's really cold out here. I won't be long before I see the Plum Blossom …"

Seeing Ning Yunyin in the room, Meng Lan's voice suddenly stopped.

Ye Jinsu lowered her head and gave a light cough. Meng Lan quickly took a step back, but was stopped by Ning Yunyin.

Ning Yunyin's voice was somewhat cold, as if she was issuing a final order, "Protect her well. Only you can ask her any questions, do you understand?"

Meng Lan quickly nodded in response. When she raised her head, she saw that Ning Yunyin had already turned around and left.

From the beginning to the end, he had only come here to pass on a message to Ye Jinxiu, telling her not to worry about him anymore. Ye Jinsu looked at Ning Yunyin's back. She suddenly stood up and ran to the window, just in time for her to walk out.

Ye Jinsu looked at the row of footprints on the snow and suddenly felt that her eyes were a bit dry.

The blizzard in October was so blinding that Ye Jinsu's vision became blurry and clear. The teardrop in her eyes did not fall down.

Meng Lan looked at Ye Jinsu's back and felt that her entire body was filled with sadness. She couldn't help but take a step forward, "Miss …"

"What did the prince say to you …"

"Nothing." Ye Jinxiu spoke with a calm voice, not revealing anything out of the ordinary.

It wasn't a big deal, she was just a little disappointed. All of this was what she wanted, and also what she weighed well. This was the best ending, and it wasn't something worth being sad about.

Ye Jinsu looked outside at the snowstorm. The footprints in the snow would soon be covered by the new snow, and they would never disappear again.

Nothing was eternal.

So was affection.

Ye Jinsu tightened his clothes and said, "Take a walk in the yard with me.

"I remember that there was a pot of sweet and sour fragrance in the courtyard. I heard it was a pot of ten-year old wine. The scenery today is so beautiful. I'll take it to the pavilion to warm it up."

Stepping into the pavilion, Ye Jinsu walked into it. Wind blew from all directions, blowing the curtain in all directions, causing people's hearts to flutter. The flames in the small stove danced happily. Xiao Hong brought out some pastries and ate them. It looked at Ye Jinsu with a worried expression.

"Why does Miss want to drink today?" Normally, Ye Jinxiu would not have a good time like this.

Hearing that, Meng Lan quickly gave a look to the side. Before Xiao Hong could understand what was going on, Ye Jinsu had already spoken up, "I drank a little at the banquet that day and felt that what the scholars said was true. The wine is indeed a good thing."

Little Red Menglan looked at each other, clearly not believing Ye Jinsu's words. That day, Ye Jinsu drank sake wine and fruit wine. This was ten years old, how could it be the same?

Pushing some of the pastries forward, Xiao Hong tried to save the country by saying, "Since Miss wants to drink, then you should eat something first to fill your stomach. It's not good for your body to have an empty stomach."

Ye Jinsu smiled. She pretended not to hear him and poured herself a cup of warm wine.

Xiao Hong wanted to stop her, but unfortunately, it was unable to do so.

As the cup of wine entered her stomach, Ye Jinxiu began to cough violently. The wine cup in her hand failed to hold firmly and fell to the ground. Ye Jinxiu quickly asked Little Red to pour her a cup of tea. Too spicy, Ye Jinsu never expected it to be this spicy. It went from the tip of his tongue all the way to his throat and his stomach.

Ye Jinshu held his throat and coughed until tears began to appear in the corners of his eyes.

"Miss, stop drinking." Xiao Hong could not bear to watch any longer and spoke choked with sobs.

Ye JinSu leaned against the pillar and rested for a moment. Suddenly, she closed her eyes and laughed. She covered her eyes with her arm and spoke with a smile, "Don't think that I, your lady, am so useless. It's just a cup of wine. It's not a big deal …"

As she spoke, she took another cup.

Ye Jinxiu coughed out once again. Her knuckles that were pinching the wine cup turned slightly pale. Ye Jinxiu wiped the corner of her mouth and said, "Again."

Meng Lan held the wine jug, but refused to pour it.

Ye Jinsu looked at her and simply snatched it away. The spout of the pot was pointed at her and began to pour its contents directly into her mouth. After taking big gulps of wine, Ye Jin coughed continuously from the spiciness as he continued pouring.

Xiao Hong was kneeling at the side. No matter how she stretched out her hand, she could not stop him. With red eyes, she could only beg, "Miss, I beg of you, please stop drinking!"

"You'll lose your body if you drink like this!"

Ye Jinsu turned a deaf ear.

He poured most of the wine into Ye Jinsu's stomach and poured most of it onto her body. Ye Jinshu loosened his grip and the wine jug fell to the ground, rolling twice.

Ye Jinsu looked at the pot of wine on the ground, and laughed with a hoarse voice that had been burned by the strong alcohol. "It's only so-so."

Drunk.

After ten years, the fragrance of the wine was so sweet that it could make one's dreams run wild.
