Chapter 143: Get wet in the snow together and grow old together

Over the past few days, the old lady felt that she could accept anything.

However, she was still worried that her granddaughter would be scolded. After dinner, when she returned to the palace where she lived, she told the maid around her not to tell anyone, for fear that Love would be scolded.

But she was just mending things in the back and couldn't stand Murong Jin working hard in the front.

The next day, he really wanted to take Love to court.

Luo Fu agreed straightforwardly yesterday, but when the time came, she backed off and grabbed Murong Jin's sleeve and said, "Chang Jin, can I go tomorrow?"

Murong Jin held her little hand and said, "I'm right beside you, what are you afraid of?"

Love was a little scared, but more nervous.

After all, it was the imperial court. She was afraid that she would make mistakes and cause trouble for Chang Jin.

Her thoughts were easy to guess. Murong Jin held her hand and walked out slowly. "You are so kind, what could go wrong? It's a blessing for those people that you are in the court. Let's go outside and take a look at those people. Once you see them a few more times, you will know that they are all beasts. Don't make any mistakes in front of beasts. Just be careful of them biting you."

Love: …………

After he said that, I wasn't so nervous anymore.

The ministers had already arrived at the court.

When Luo Fu, holding Murong Jin's hand, climbed up to the high position, the noise below immediately started.

Luo Fu sat down on the dragon throne with Murong Jin.

She could clearly see the expressions of every court official below.

Miraculously, she didn't seem nervous anymore, only a little worried.

She was worried that these court officials would fight to the death with Chang Jin because of her.

Chang Jin has a bad temper and might kill someone.

If she advised him, she was afraid that Chang Jin would have no place to vent his anger, which would cause him a headache, which would be bad.

If you don't persuade her, she will feel bad because someone died.

Fortunately, what she worried about did not happen.

The court officials knew Murong Jin's temper better than she did.

He has killed people in the court, so there is nothing wrong with bringing the concubine to court.

Everyone knows how much Murong Jin dotes on the imperial concubine.

Everyone knows that if anyone steps out and says something, their life will be in danger.

No one wants to die peacefully.

Just let her attend to government affairs. A concubine with little power can't cause any waves.

The two cabinet chief ministers, Gao Wei and Zhang Hong, had previously harmed their family heirs because of the Luo Fu incident. No matter what they were thinking in their hearts, they would not say much on the surface.

Then, the court officials went about their daily business as if they hadn't seen Love.

Love listened carefully, trying to remember the title, name and appearance of every official who appeared.

Murong Jin was paying attention to her the whole time. He saw that she looked serious with her dark eyebrows slightly wrinkled. She looked completely different from her usual self, a bit like a little crocodile trying hard to learn how to hunt.

A smile unconsciously appeared in his eyes. He simply leaned to one side, resting his arms on the handles of the dragon throne, and just looked at Love.

The two ministers who were arguing fiercely below looked up:

The two men choked, swallowed the "Your Majesty" that was about to come out of their mouths, and turned back to continue arguing.

Love was stunned looking at it.

When the court was dismissed, snowflakes began to fall outside.

"It's snowing! It's snowing!"

The court officials shouted excitedly and praised Murong Jin as he left: "Your Majesty's benevolence and virtue move heaven. Those who slandered you should open their eyes and see!"

"Master Chen, what do you say? Today's auspicious snowfall is sufficient proof of Your Majesty's benevolence. Those who slandered Your Majesty deserve death. Do you still want to plead for them?"

"Lord Zhao, please stop defaming them! I never asked for their lives. I simply felt the punishment was too severe and implicated too many people. I requested Your Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation and pardon the innocent. Yet, Lord Zhao has repeatedly misrepresented my intentions and attempted to put me to death. Fortunately, Your Majesty was wise enough not to listen to your instigation. Otherwise, you would have truly triumphed!"

………………

The two men quarreled from the court to outside the court.

The noise drifted to Luo Fu and Murong Jin.

Murong Jin turned a deaf ear to him and looked at the snow outside. "This is the first snow of this winter. I remember someone said that if you bathe with your loved one during the first snow, you will grow old together. I wonder if it's true or not."

Luo Fu was still thinking about the affairs in the court, but she turned her thoughts back to him and looked out at the falling snow with him: "To be able to walk in the snow together, it must mean that we are connected and will naturally grow old together."

Murong Jin immediately said: "Then let's go out for a walk."

He took the hand warmer from the maid, put Love's hand in it, put the heater in her arms for her to hold, and then put his arm around her waist and was about to walk out.

Luo Fu followed him for two steps, then suddenly stopped, handed the heating pad and stove to the maid, and then reached out to hold Murong Jin's cold hand: "I think this is the right way."

Murong Jin looked at her holding his little hand, which was like a small heater, warming him from hand to internal organs.

Luo Fu held his hand and warned him, "But you can't stay outside for too long. You can't catch a cold."

Murong Jin held her hand tightly: "I will listen to your Majesty."

He asked the eunuchs and maids around him to stay where they were, and he took Love into the snow curtain and slowly walked towards the imperial study.

The palace covered in snow has a different look.

Luo Fu looked at the blurry palace in the distance, and thinking of Murong Jin's words, she asked curiously, "Bathing together in the first snow will allow us to grow old together. What a beautiful message! Who said that?"

Murong Jin was originally in a happy mood, but his face darkened when he heard the words.

He curled his lips and said, "A crazy woman."

Crazy woman?

Love turned to look at him.

He never mentioned anyone in front of her, let alone women.

I don't know who he is talking about.

Murong Jin didn't say much, but changed the subject: "How did you feel in the court just now? Are you still scared and nervous?"

When he mentioned what happened in the court, Luo Fu couldn't help but frown slightly: "Those two people seem to be using this as an excuse to attack each other."

Murong Jin pinched her cheek and said, "My concubine is really smart."

Knowing that she was right, Luo Fu moved her body awkwardly, but couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

Murong Jin looked at her little appearance and laughed: "Then does the Imperial Concubine know what to do with her?"

"This..." Luo Fu thought for a moment and said, "I don't think they dislike each other. Perhaps someone is plotting against them. If we can understand their relationship with other people in the court, it will be easier to deal with them."

Murong Jin laughed heartily.

Luo Fu was startled, and his smile made her doubt herself: "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Murong Jin smiled and shook his head: "You said it very well."

Love breathed a sigh of relief and puffed up her cheeks: "Then why are you laughing at me!"

Murong Jin stopped and pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her red lips, rubbing his nose against hers. "I'm smiling because my concubine is very talented. She will definitely not be bullied by those wild dogs in the future."

Love's cheeks were hot, but fortunately no one saw it.

She placed her hand on his chest: "You are so smart and powerful, how could I be bullied?"

The dependence in her words made Murong Jin extremely happy.

But there was something else mixed in with the joy.

The issue of offspring made him start to take his body seriously.

He was really afraid that he wouldn't live to see the day he grew old with her...

But it doesn't matter.

If that day really comes, he will clear the thorns for her before he dies. With her talent, she will be able to spend the rest of her life in peace.

Luo Fu didn't know what Murong Jin was thinking, but she keenly noticed that something was wrong with him.

She stood on tiptoe and put her cheek against his forehead: "Are you feeling a little uncomfortable?"

His forehead was also cold.

Luo Fu was afraid that the cold air would enter his body and cause him to have a headache again, so she held his hand and walked towards the palace next door: "It's cold outside, let's take shelter over there."

Murong Jin let her hold his hand and walk to the nearby palace.

There were also eunuchs serving in the palace.

Recognizing Murong Jin, he quickly knelt down to pay his respects.

Luo Fu looked at Murong Jin and saw that he just stared at her without saying anything, so she had no choice but to say, "Get up. Is there a stove in the hall?"

The eunuch stood up, but dared not raise his head. "Your Highness, there is no heater in Wenyuan Pavilion, nor is the fire wall repaired. Your Highness, please go into the hall and sit for a while. I will go get the heater and brazier."

Luo Fu nodded and asked him to get the things while she and Murong Jin went in.

“So many books.”

Inside the Wenyuan Pavilion, there is only a throne in the center, and on both sides are numerous bookshelves.

The bookshelf is tall and long, with heavy books neatly stacked inside, which is very spectacular.

Seeing it for the first time, Luo Fu couldn't help but say, "No wonder there's no fire wall and no stove or brazier. What if a spark jumps out and it starts a fire?"

She thought for a moment and asked someone to move the central throne to the door for Murong Jin to sit on. "This way we can avoid the wind and we won't be afraid of fire."

For some reason, Murong Jin became quiet and just held her in his arms silently.

Love could sense that he was not feeling unwell, but was in a bad mood. She didn't understand why he was suddenly in a bad mood, so she could only let him hold her.

The eunuchs quickly brought all the necessary heating items.

All the maids and eunuchs who were left behind also came over.

But seeing the looks of the emperor and the imperial concubine, he did not dare to advise them. He just quietly placed the brazier and then quietly stepped aside.

Soon, the snow gradually stopped, and then an eunuch came over and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Duan has arrived."

Murong Jin didn't say anything and still held Luo Fu tightly.

Luo Fu knew Prince Duan.

On weekdays, he would come to the palace to find Murong Jin from time to time.

Murong Jin rarely saw him.

It seemed that he was summoned specifically this time.

She looked at him sideways: "What do you want to do with His Royal Highness Prince Duan?"

In the past, she wouldn't ask too many questions, but today Chang Jin was obviously not right, and she wanted to know what happened to him.

Murong Jin hummed, "Ask him to do something. I've raised him for so long, he has to do something to repay me."

Love: …………

I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Duan is very simple and he probably can't do anything.

Besides, no matter what, he is the son of the late emperor and his elder brother. He just lives a peaceful life with his princess, and he is charged interest for every meal he eats.

This is too pitiful.

However, the familiar feeling of Chang Jin returned, and Luo Fu felt relieved. She decided to let His Royal Highness Prince Duan suffer.

Murong Jin nuzzled Luo Fu's neck before letting her go and standing up. "My Lady, please return to Cuiwei Palace. I'll have the memorial delivered. Take a look at it first. If you don't understand anything, put it aside and I'll explain it to you when I get back."

Love nodded, and imitating his previous behavior, she put his hands, which had been cooled by her warmth, into her warm pockets, and stuffed a heater into his arms. Then she waved to him and got into the sedan chair surrounded by a group of maids.

Murong Jin watched her walk away, gathered his warm blanket, and then went to the front hall.

Prince Duan had arrived long ago and had been waiting for a long time. He was now fast asleep on the table.

The eunuchs kept pushing and shouting until he finally woke up, rubbing his eyes. Reminding him that His Majesty had arrived, he quickly stood up and bowed towards the main seat, saying, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

Murong Jin said: "I'm behind you."

Prince Duan was startled and turned around quickly, seeing the emperor holding a heating pad and a stove, looking at him.

He hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Murong Jin looked at him and walked forward: "Get up."

Prince Duan immediately straightened up, looked at Murong Jin after he sat down, and said cheerfully, "Your Majesty, what is the matter that you called me here for?"

Murong Jin said, "I'm here to settle accounts with you."

"Settle accounts?" Prince Duan was stunned. "What accounts?"

Murong Jin asked, "Does the emperor have many sons?"

Prince Duan was even more stunned: "A lot, quite a lot..."

Murong Jin asked, "Except for me, how many are left now?"

Prince Duan thought about it carefully. There was also a Prince of Jin, but he seemed to be dead. He hadn't heard from him for a long time.

Then he's the only one left.

Prince Duan immediately answered loudly: "One! I am the only one left!"

Murong Jin nodded: "Why are you the only one left?"

"I know! I know!" Prince Duan clutched the corner of his clothes and said awkwardly, "That's because His Majesty loves me!"

Murong Jin was very satisfied: "I love you so much, shouldn't you repay me?"

Prince Duan: "Yes!"

It was rare for Murong Jin to talk to him so much, and he asked one question after another. Prince Duan felt as if he was back in school, when he was being questioned by the Grand Tutor and was only focused on answering the questions.

After answering, he realized what was happening and scratched his head, saying, "But Your Majesty, how can I repay you? When I was in school, my brothers and sisters all said that I was stupid and stupid. I couldn't do anything. I couldn't study well, and I couldn't shoot arrows or ride a horse. My father didn't like me either..."

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I remember what I can do. I can eat. I can help you taste all the delicacies in the world and choose the one that suits your taste best!"

"…………" Murong Jin, "If you want to eat, go eat by yourself, don't bother me!"

Seeing that he was unhappy, Prince Duan mumbled "oh" but couldn't think of what else he could do.

Murong Jin was a little impatient: "Don't you have a princess? Give me some children."

Prince Duan was stunned for a moment, then slowly widened his eyes: "Your Majesty, don't you have a concubine? Why do you want to sleep with my wife?"

………………

Even Murong Jin was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed angrily. He stared at the cups on the table, wanting to hit this idiot on the head and open them to see if there were pig intestines inside!

But he still restrained himself.

He also needs this pretentious person to give birth to more children for him and the imperial concubine.

Murong Jin closed his eyes and said calmly, "I'm saying, you and your wife, give me a few more children!"
