The first snow came when no one was aware of it. It covered the whole world in silver overnight. It was very beautiful, but it was also very cold.
Before Duan Yunfei could wake up from her sleep, she heard the cheers of the palace maids and eunuchs outside the room. After being woken up, Duan Yunfei decided to not sleep at all.
"Xiao Ya." Duan Yunfei called out Xiao Ya's name. Xiao Ya, who was enjoying the snow scenery with the other palace maids outside, heard Duan Yunfei's call and spoke to the palace maid beside her before stepping into Duan Yunfei's chamber.
"Princess, you're awake?" Xiao Ya brought the mouthwash bowl in front of Duan Yunfei, helping him to wash up.
Duan Yunfei was not completely awake yet, so she answered with a groggy "En".
Since the last month, Xiao Yang had completely handed over the service of Duan Yunfei to Xiao Ya.
thought that Xiao Yang would always follow him to the Prince Mu's Mansion, but it didn't seem right for him to just bring Xiao Yang.
Xiao Ya's loyalty to Duan Yunfei was in Duan Yunfei's eyes, and he was able to leave the matters of the Red Luan Palace to Xiao Ya. Similarly, Xiao Ya did not disappoint Duan Yunfei's expectations.
The matter of washing his face and rinsing his mouth was not a big deal, and he had to leave this matter to Xiao Ya to handle. Firstly, he could give Xiao Ya a chance to train, and allow her to be even closer to Duan Yunfei. Secondly, all the large and small affairs of Red Luan Palace started to accumulate. Xiao Yang taking care of them by himself was truly tiring, and Duan Yunfei could not bear to see Xiao Yang working so hard, so Xiao Ya had to shoulder the burden for him.
Although Duan Yunfei wasn't a person who liked to be bedridden, getting out of bed had its own rules. Xiao Ya, who had been inside the Red Luan Palace for the past half year, had understood Duan Yunfei's rhythm. It was just that this wasn't the time for Duan Yunfei to wake up yet, so Xiao Ya had yet to order the imperial kitchen to prepare Duan Yunfei's brunch.
"Princess, why are you up so early today?" Xiao Ya was puzzled, but suddenly thought that the reason she was quarreling with the palace maids outside the house, might have been because she woke Duan Yunfei up.
"Princess, was it because the servants were too noisy before, disturbing your rest?"
Seeing Xiao Ya's terrified look, Duan Yunfei felt that she was very cute. The little girl in front of him, often didn't need anyone to remind her of her master's intentions, but she could guess their master's intentions.
"I don't know why I woke up so early today. It has nothing to do with you. You … you don't have to be so scared. I won't punish you for these things."
"Princess, how nice of you." The worry on Xiao Ya's face disappeared and was replaced with a smile.
"However, I am a little curious. The few of you are usually the most quiet, so why are you all laughing and talking so merrily this morning? "
Duan Yunfei could not help but be curious, if she had to talk about the other palace maids, they would usually talk a lot, and get together would always be noisy, Duan Yunfei was very clear about that.
However, Duan Yunfei had never said anything about them, because in Duan Yunfei's eyes, this was what women at that age should look like.
However, Xiao Ya was different from them. In her free time, Xiao Ya was either sewing or watering flowers and cutting leaves. Ever since Duan Yunfei had taught her how to read books, she would occasionally hold a book and read them. Whenever she ran into something she did not understand, she would even find an opportunity to ask Duan Yunfei for guidance. Today was abnormal, causing Duan Yunfei to be curious about what was happening outside.
Xiao Ya couldn't help but want to share her joy with Duan Yunfei when she thought of the Red Luan Palace dressed in silver outside the house.
Xiao Ya helped Duan Yunfei put on her clothes as she explained the reason to him.
"Princess, it was snowing all night last night. It's beautiful outside now."
Duan Yunfei finally understood that this girl in front of him was a girl who liked snow. This was exactly the same as Xiao Yang.
Back then, when Xiao Yang saw the first snowfall in the palace, he practically jumped in front of Duan Yunfei. His face was filled with joy and excitement as he said to Duan Yunfei, "Princess, there was such a big snowfall outside our house. Princess, can this servant go out and play? "
It just so happened that on that day, Mu Chuyang, Zuo Yuan and Wu Shan went to the palace to look for Duan Yunfei. But seeing Xiao Yang's joyful look, everyone finally decided to play in Red Luan Palace.
When Xiao Yang used the snowball to smash someone, even Duan Yunfei was smashed into a pulp by Xiao Yang, let alone the person in front of him. In the end, everyone was tired from playing, so they just lay down on the snowy ground, thinking about how they would breathe out the air and watch their breath come out.
Thinking back to what happened that year, Duan Yunfei was somewhat sorrowful. So in a flash, it had already been so many years.
If it was now, Duan Yunfei might not do those things that she had done when she was young.
All these years, Xiao Yang's love for Xue Xie didn't seem to be as strong as before.
"Xiao Ya," Duan Yunfei suddenly called out to Xiao Ya, who was dressing herself. Xiao Ya was shocked, almost buttoning Duan Yunfei's shirt incorrectly.
"What is it, Princess?" Xiao Ya looked at Duan Yunfei with a puzzled expression. She undid the buttons that almost went wrong, but the movements in her hands didn't stop.
"Do you want to play with the snow in the yard?"
Before Xiao Ya came to Red Luan Palace in the future, she had also seen snow from the palace. It was just that at that time, her master did not allow palace maids like her to play with snow.
At that time, Xiao Ya only dared to write her name in the snow when her master wasn't paying attention. In order to prevent others from discovering her, she immediately grabbed a handful of snow and buried it.
"Princess, can this servant do this?"
Duan Yunfei also didn't know what she was thinking. Perhaps it was because she thought of what happened that year, and she didn't do the "silly thing" that he wouldn't do again. Being able to do it while Xiao Ya was still young seemed to be his wish before marriage.
"Have I ever lied to you?" Duan Yunfei extended his hand and hooked Xiao Ya's nose, pretending to be fierce, but Duan Yunfei's act did not seem like it, instead, it made Xiao Ya happy.
"Princess, Xiao Ya likes you the most." Xiao Ya was already a little impatient, it had to be known that this was the first time she could openly play with snow in the palace, and this, was only because her master was Duan Yunfei. Xiao Ya was once again incomparably glad that she had met such a good master like Duan Yunfei.
"However, after a snowstorm, the weather became even colder. Before you play with them in the snow, you must put on some clothes so that you won't catch a cold.
"Your servant obeys."
After giving Duan Yunfei a simple comb, Xiao Ya told this good news to the palace maids and eunuchs of Red Luan Palace, but she did not forget her important matter.
Before playing with the snow, Xiao Ya had already instructed Duan Yunfei's brunch to go down.
