Chapter 239 First Snow

In a blink of an eye, the first snow arrived, and the prosperous Kyoto was covered in white. The golden tiles on the red walls were covered with silver, making the palace walls look even more magnificent.

Inside Xiwu Palace, the aroma of wine lingered in the air, singing and dancing filled the air, and the imperial court's First Snow Banquet was held in great style.

Pei Luoshu sat quietly in front of the low couch, holding the wine glass with his slender white fingers, and watching the lively conversation in front of him calmly.

"Master Pei seems to be worried?"

Long Muchuan walked up to Pei Luoshu and clinked glasses with him.

Pei Luo smiled faintly.

"Uncle Nine."

"I heard that Lord Pei is from Fangling County, so you must know Prime Minister Wen."

Pei Luoshu said seriously.

"Let alone a big county, even in a town, we may not know each other. Uncle Ninth Prince doesn't know everyone in Kyoto."

Long Muchuan curled his lips.

"May I ask what is the name of Lord Pei's mother?"

Pei Luoshu's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Uncle Ninth Prince is so caring towards me that he even ignored etiquette and asked about my mother's name. This seems very inappropriate."

Long Muchuan felt that he seemed a little radical and rash, and spoke with a slightly apologetic tone.

"I'm sorry, it's just that your handsome appearance reminds me of my handsome eldest brother."

Pei Luoshu looked normal.

"There are so many people in the world, so naturally there are many who are similar. But Uncle Ninth Prince, please don't make fun of me."

Long Muchuan nodded slightly and left.

Pei Luoshu looked at his leaving figure, his eyes were deep, and then they became warm again.

Opposite them, Wen Zhiheng, who was sitting crookedly, glanced at them and then put down the wine glass in his hand.

He raised his eyes and saw the emperor sitting in the main seat. His face looked neither happy nor sad. When his eyes brushed past Pei Luoshu, the smile in his eyes faded away.

I remember that when he first met Pei Luoshu, he looked extremely flustered, but after a moment, his expression became warm and cheerful again.

The emperor always concealed his emotions very well, but this time, he panicked.

Wen Zhiheng was very curious. What secret was hidden in this?

The banquet lasted until the afternoon. Pei Luoshu had a hint of drunkenness on his face. Snow was still falling outside, and the world was vaguely visible, covered in silver.

I was escorted to the palace gate by a eunuch holding an umbrella. Through the snow curtain that was like a waterfall, I saw a black carriage parked not far away on the opposite side. A little man in a red robe, with a heavy black cloak on his arm and a sky-blue umbrella, just stood there quietly, watching himself leave the palace, with a very sweet smile on his face.

He felt a sweet feeling in his heart, and he lost his composure and ran towards her in a hurry.

"Why are you here? It's so cold and you're afraid of the cold."

Chen Shiyi handed the umbrella in his hand to Bai Ling and took out the outer robe from his arm to put it on him.

He was tall, and when he saw that Chen Shiyi couldn't reach him, he squatted down a little.

Chen Shiyi smiled and tied his cloak slowly.

Looking at the red flower on his official hat, he took it off casually.

"Junyi Zanhualang, this county lord is in a good mood and will take you somewhere."

Pei Luoshu put his arm around her shoulders.

"Where are you going?"

"You'll know when you get there."

"So mysterious?"

"Of course, if you tell me in advance, there won't be any surprises."

Outside the palace gate, Long Muchuan looked at Wen Zhiheng standing aside, then looked at the carriage that had already left, and smiled eerily.

"My Lord, look how loving these two are. It's really enviable!"

Wen Zhiheng's eyes were dark, and he looked at Long Muchuan with extremely calm eyes.

"Uncle Nine drank two more cups and talked a lot when he was drunk."

After saying this, he stood up, and the green pine tree behind him tied a cloak around him. He opened an umbrella and went out into the wind and rain.

The carriage drove slowly on the road for a long time before it arrived at the gate of a villa. The door opened and the carriage moved forward again.

Pei Luoshu got off the carriage and helped Chen Shiyi down. Turning around, he saw cloud-like red mist floating in the air, holding up the pure white snowflakes and spreading to the sky. At the tip of his nose, he could smell the faint fragrance of plum blossoms, which spread wantonly and permeated this colorful and beautiful first snow.

Pei Luoshu looked at the endless plum forest in amazement, then slowly stepped in. His slender white hand touched a cool bright red flower, and his eyes instantly became moist.

"A Luo, do you like it?"

He swallowed the bitterness and surprise in his heart, turned his head and looked at Chen Shiyi, only to see her eyes sparkling, as if she was anxiously waiting for his recognition and praise.

He held her tightly in his arms and kissed her warm forehead with his cool lips.

"Thank you, Eleven. I am very happy."

Chen Shiyi nestled in his warm arms, rubbed his face against his clothes, and spoke softly.

"I happened to hear you say you liked red plums before, and then I found this place in Kyoto, which was dozens of miles away. I asked people everywhere to sell it to me, but it cost me a lot of money. Ah Luo, how are you going to thank me?"

Pei Luoshu laughed softly.

"How can I thank you? I have already given myself to you, what can I do? Tell me how can I repay you?"

Chen Shiyi said with a smile.

"I want to have a baby with you."

Pei Luoshu's eyes rippled slightly and he sighed softly.

"Okay, you and I will work harder and we will definitely have a child."

Chen Shiyi cut a few beautiful branches of plum blossoms and put them in a green-lipped and white-glazed vase. On the low table next to him, Pei Luoshu was painting.

The room was lit with charcoal fire, and it was warm like spring. Chen Shiyi took off his outer robe and knelt beside Pei Luoshu, watching him quietly as he painted red plum blossoms.

The window in the house is made of a whole piece of expensive colored glaze. Outside, the snow is falling heavily and clusters of red plum blossoms are blooming, creating a unique and beautiful scenery.

Chen Shiyi held his chin and sighed.

"You are not only good at cooking, but also good at painting."

Pei Luoshu stopped writing and stared at her blankly.

"I can also unbutton your shirt with my bare hands and gently stroke your slender waist."

Chen Shiyi looked at him quietly.

"How can you say such shameless words with a straight face?"

Pei Luoshu continued.

"Don't you know whether I should be ashamed or not?"

After hearing this, Chen Shiyi turned around and crawled to the side.

Pei Luoshu raised his hand and grabbed her ankle, bit his lip and said with a smile.

"See where you run to."

After saying this, his whole body pressed forward.

Chen Shiyi really wanted a child, but she and Pei Luoshu had been together for a long time, but there was no movement in her belly, which made her very frustrated.

Lao Qin has been staying at Lingyu Villa in Yanzhou to take care of his herbs. In winter, he is even busier and no one knows when he will be able to come over.

How about going to find him yourself?

After all, she didn't want to wait any longer because of the child.

She is getting older now.

When Pei Luoshu heard that she was going to Yanzhou, he immediately stopped her.

"It's snowy and the roads are slippery now. You are very afraid of the cold. Wait until the weather is a little warmer before going. Take the medicine Lao Qin prescribed for a while."
