"Do you like it?" asked the Fourteenth Prince.
Jiang Ranli nodded. The hand was beautiful, delicate, and very warm. Naturally, she liked it.
Hearing her say that she liked it, Fourteenth Prince smiled, and then said nothing more. He picked up a drama book beside Jiang Ranli and started reading.
Looking at the two people, one concentrating on eating roasted sweet potatoes and the other concentrating on reading, Jiang Ranli couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, "Didn't you go into the palace with Jiu Ye? Why hasn't Jiu Ye come back?"
Hearing this, the Tenth Prince raised his head from the sweet and soft sweet potato and said, "Ninth Brother has gone to Dong E's place."
Dong E?
When Jiang Ranli heard the Tenth Prince mention her, she understood.
Now that the New Year is approaching, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Yi in the palace have both inquired about Dong E's affairs, so her house arrest should be lifted.
"Li'er, don't worry. You don't have to be afraid even if Dong E comes out. I'm here to protect you." Seeing that Jiang Ranli didn't speak for a while, the Tenth Prince began to comfort her.
Looking at him eating the roasted sweet potatoes so sweetly, Jiang Ranli couldn't help laughing, "Master Shi, please eat the sweet potatoes well and be careful not to choke. Sidai, bring him some more water."
The Fourteenth Prince put down the play in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he didn't understand why Jiang Ranli always held such a play to read.
"Dong E has been under house arrest for the past few months, so I think her temperament should have calmed down. Don't worry," said the Fourteenth Prince, his eyes falling on Jiang Ranli's cheek, which had returned to normal without any visible scars.
Hearing him and the Tenth Prince say such things, Jiang Ranli felt a little helpless. Did she look so afraid of Dong E? Stop teasing me, okay?
Jiang Ranli doesn't like the twists and turns in the backyard, but she's not afraid of it either.
As the three were talking, the thick door curtain was lifted again, and then Yinzhen walked in with a gust of wind and snow.
Seeing him, Jiang Ranli quickly stood up and brushed off the light snow on his body.
"The snow is cold, don't freeze your hands," Yinzhen said as he held Jiang Ranli's hand with his big hand, and warmth immediately spread throughout his body through the holding hands.
"Do you have a little stove on your body? It's so windy and snowy outside, why are your hands so hot?" Feeling the warmth of Yin'er's big hands, Jiang Ranli asked him curiously.
The wind and snow outside were particularly strong today. The north wind was whistling like a knife, causing pain on people's faces. In such bad weather, Yinzhen could still keep himself warm, which was really beyond Jiang Ranli's expectation. When the Tenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince came in just now, their hands were frozen red.
"Ninth brother's hands were as cold as ours, but as soon as he entered the mansion, he found a hand warmer to warm his hands, saying that you were afraid of the cold, so he wanted to warm himself up for you... This sweet potato is really delicious," Tenth Prince spoke before Yinzhen, but Yinzhen glared at him and he quickly changed the subject.
Although the Tenth Prince had not finished speaking, he had already said most of what he wanted to say. Looking at the handsome Yinzhen beside him, Jiang Ranli felt a warmth in her heart.
The Tenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince did not leave until late at night. Jiang Ranli and Yin'er sat opposite each other on the couch, each busy with their own work.
Of course, Jiang Ranli's job is to eat, play, and read some books. Since she returned to Beijing from Jinan, her life has been in this leisurely state.
Yinzhen was different from her. Ever since the incident of the crown prince being deposed, he was still valued by Emperor Kangxi, and he often worked until midnight to finish his affairs.
