Hearing Yehenara's words, Xueying smiled and said, "I was worried that no one would appreciate this beautiful scenery, and I was a little disappointed. I didn't expect that you, my sister, also like white snow and red plum blossoms."
Yehenara smiled upon hearing this, "Since Your Majesty is also in such a mood, let's enjoy the plum blossoms together."
“That’s excellent,” Xueying nodded and said.
After several conversations, the two found that their interests and personalities were quite similar.
From then on, Consort Yu and Consort Shu frequently visited Yikun Palace, while Mingyu was accompanied by Lady Gao, Lady Fucha, and Consort Chen. Consort Jia, having a son, no longer relied on the Empress, Lady Gilbert did not associate with anyone, and Consort Wan was cold-hearted and also did not associate with anyone.
On this day, Yonglian secretly slipped out of Xiefang Palace and went to Yikun Palace.
"Your Highness Consort Xian, the Second Prince requests an audience," Xueying heard the palace maid outside the hall announce.
Upon hearing the palace maid's words, Xueying quickly said, "Hurry up and let him in, don't let him get cold."
The snow had been falling non-stop for the past few days, and Xueying was worried that Yonglian might catch a chill from being outside for so long. Although Yonglian's health had improved considerably since he learned the art of riding and archery, Xueying was still concerned that he might fall ill.
"Greetings to Your Highness, the Virtuous Consort. May Your Highness enjoy boundless blessings and peace."
Xueying walked to Yonglian's side, helped him up, patted the snowflakes off him, and asked, "Get up, why are you here?"
Upon hearing Xueying's words, Yonglian pondered for a moment, rolled his round eyes, and then said, "I am following..."
Seeing the hesitation on Yonglian's face and his cunning eyes, Xueying knew exactly what he was going to say. So, before Yonglian could finish speaking, she shook her head and teased with a smile, "This time, that little kitten didn't run out of Yikun Palace. It stayed in the palace the whole time."
Upon hearing Xueying's words, Yonglian pouted, "Because it snowed, I couldn't go to the riding and archery class, so the governess let me read books in the Xiefang Palace. But I finished reading all those books, so I came out."
As she spoke, she looked around and her eyes lit up when she saw the kitten curled up in the corner. She smiled and said, "I want to see the kitten."
"Next time, wait until Xueting comes before you come. Don't get sick." With that, Xueying reached out and pinched Yonglian's cheek, then turned to the palace maid beside her and said, "Go and get a hand warmer for the Second Prince."
"yes."
"Go to the kitchen and prepare some tea and snacks that the Second Prince likes."
Upon hearing this, Yonglian quickly said, "Your Highness Consort Xian, I don't want to eat those tea snacks, I want to eat..."
Before Yonglian could finish speaking, Xueying said with a smile, "Roasted sweet potatoes, right?"
"Mmm." Yonglian's eyes lit up.
"I've already prepared it for you." Ever since Xueying learned that Yonglian liked roasted sweet potatoes, she has always had people in the palace prepare them so that he could have a taste if he came.
Upon hearing Xueying's words, Yonglian smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are so kind to Lian'er. Lian'er likes you very much. Your palace is much more interesting."
When Xueying heard Yonglian say "I like her," her heart warmed, and she was deeply moved.
However, she still cautioned Yonglian, "You can't run away like this again. The governess will worry, and Her Majesty the Empress will worry."
Upon hearing Xueying's words, Yonglian immediately deflated and said somewhat dejectedly, "My mother forces me to study, it's so boring."
