Empress Zhou's short words resounded in the empty hall, "Dan'er." ”

When the person guarding the door heard the sound, he pushed open the door with Da Huan'er and walked quickly to bow down to Queen Zhou: "What does Niangniang command?" ”

"Go get that coat."

But after a while, Dan'er walked out with a brand-new gentleman's orchid-patterned robe in her hand and personally delivered it to Queen Zhou, and Concubine Min looked puzzled.

Seeing her, she stretched out her hand and stroked: "This is sewn with the Nanshan snow fox fur rewarded by the emperor last year, and the drawings in the style of flowers are all drawn by the palace himself." Junzilan means auspicious and wealthy, and there is more 'gentleman humble, gentle and courteous, talented but not arrogant, ambitious but not arrogant, and living in the valley but not humble. This means that this palace thinks it is very compatible with you. ”

She waved her hand kindly, and Dan'er turned around and sent the coat to Da Huan'er's hand: "Every stitch and thread on the top is personally supervised by the palace, and I am still thinking about whether to give you a gift on Chinese New Year's Eve or wait for the spring of the next year, and the little prince gave birth to you with the intention of auspiciousness, but I didn't expect that now God expected a good time." ”

Concubine Min's face was full of surprise, and she reached out to stroke the robe.

This is not a gorgeous and noble, but the embroidery on the outside is not flawless, and the fur on the inside is soft, and the hand is dense where it touches, which is enough to see that it is really made of good fur.

She quickly withdrew her hand and knelt down with joy, grateful for Queen Zhou's intentions: "How can the concubine be so favored by the mother?" ”

"Okay, Da Huan'er, help your master up."

Empress Zhou smiled, "This is a blessing for your hard work to give birth to the second prince, and it must not be denied, only if the palace gave you a moon gift in advance." When the prince is full moon, the palace will prepare another big gift, and now you go back to rest, you don't have to go to Kunning Palace, and the palace will go to Zhongcui Palace to visit you. ”

These words implied that she listened to Concubine Min's words, and she would be lifted from her grounding in a short time, so good.

She bowed deeply again, and left Kunning Palace amid Empress Zhou's words of concern.

That day was even deeper, and Queen Zhou lost sleep again.

The incense and charcoal were burned in the house, and the smell was fragrant and pleasant, but she felt very stuffy, so she got up and lit the candle.

"Mother?" Dan'er outside the door heard the sound, and looked at the sudden fire in the room, and immediately woke up a lot in a drowsiness, "But do you have any orders?" ”

There was a sound in the room: "No, it's just that I can't sleep in this palace, and if I light the candle, I may be sleepy." ”

After a while, I heard the window "creaking", which was the sound of being opened.

She was a little curious and turned her head to look. Behind the lattice, under the candlelight, there were ethereal figures Zhuo Yue, it was Queen Zhou standing under the open window, wearing only a thin coat as if she was looking out.

Jumping along the burning of the candle, Queen Zhou's lone shadow also shook very much, Dan'er looked at her and stood silently for a while, thinking about whether to go up and persuade her.

But after thinking about it, she still forgot it, and she honestly stood there without speaking.

Empress Zhou didn't know how long she had been standing, her head was dizzy, and her hands and feet were blown cold by the cold wind, but she felt that it was more reassuring than the inside of the house.

Today, the moon was round and bright, so much so that she could see snowflakes floating in the sky. Since the first snowfall in the capital, it has fallen two or three times one after another, but this is the biggest one this year so far.

She was a little happy, and stretched out her cold hand wrapped in a thin coat out of the window, and sure enough, a few snowflakes fell on her palm, and her already cold hand felt even colder.

The snowflakes were especially dazzling in the moonlight, which inexplicably made her feel pleasing to the eye. The snow does not melt quickly, and the air is numerous and dense. Thinking about it, although I can't step on a deep footprint on the road early tomorrow morning, I will at least lay a thin layer, so that the people who see it this year will be happy.

She thought of the fur that she gave to Concubine Min today, and she didn't know if it was because God actually snowed at the right time in order to cater to her.

Dan'er, who was about to doze off outside the door, shivered when the snowflakes fell on his head, and immediately woke up. Seeing that it was snow, she was overjoyed, and when she turned around and saw that Queen Zhou was still standing and wondered if she saw it, she heard Queen Zhou say, "Dan'er? Did you see it snowing? ”

"Huh!" Dan'er replied, "The slave and maid are also watching!" ”

Empress Zhou's face showed a heartfelt smile, and she thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow, I will help the palace prepare the ingredients, and the palace will cook some rice balls for the emperor." ”

Dan'er was stunned for a long time before saying, "Yes!" This voice was so short, but it was deeply surprised.

However, after a long time, Queen Zhou finally got tired, but she opened the window wide and put out the candle flame before falling asleep.

Early the next morning, the ground was covered with shallow snow, and the light snow in the air did not stop. The palace people who got up early saw it, and they were all pleasantly surprised, they all thought that there was no snow this year, how could they have thought that it would snow at this time? According to this trend, there is also the possibility of heavy snowfall on Chinese New Year's Eve.

It's just that everyone is happy, and Yuanji is also in a good mood. He has been influenced by Su Youyi since he was a child, not because he likes a restrained atmosphere, but because everyone can make him happier with him.

He sat in the Qianqing Palace, and ordered Xiao Jizi to open the nearest window, preferably to be able to see the snow scene outside, so that the correction can have a different flavor.

Originally, the latter was worried that he would catch the wind and cold, but Yuanzhi said that the hall was burning incense and burning a hot stove, but it was stuffy and tight.

It was at that time that Xiao Jizi led Dan'er in, and Yuanji's eyes immediately lit up.

A few days ago, Queen Zhou was unhappy, and she sent ordinary palace maids to deliver meals, she had a good time with Dan'er since she was a child, does Dan'er come to send it means that she is in a much better mood? Is this an initiative to show goodwill?

He wanted to cheer, but in order to maintain the dignity of the emperor, his face sank again.

Fortunately, the palace maid on Dan'er's side was cautious, and without his orders, she buried her head in her chest from time to time, and walked to Yuanzhi in front of Yuan Zhi in light steps to salute: "Slave maid, please be safe to the emperor." ”

Yuan Zhi pretended to be very stable and said: "Well, no courtesy." What's the matter? ”

Dan'er got up slowly, handed the food box in her hand to Xiao Jizi and took it, and spoke in her mouth.

"Niangniang saw that it was snowing heavily yesterday, so she felt that she should eat some hot ginger five-color rice balls at this time. So I got up early in the morning, and every rice ball in it was made by her, and I didn't have to let others interfere when cooking, and it took a long time to order the slave to send it. ”

Yuan Zhi saw that Xiao Kiko took it out, each bowl was still steaming, and the rice balls were also crystal clear. Xiao Jizi took a saucer, scooped out a few rice balls, and gently dug down with a golden spoon, and the black sesame paste in it flowed out. The rest also have red bean paste, pumpkin trap, purple potato filling, and so on.

Since the last time Kunning Palace said goodbye, let alone meeting, even the sweet soup sent was broken, so goodbye to Queen Zhou's craftsmanship, Yuan Zhi's heart was still very excited.
