As soon as the two of them stood still in the yard, Lin Qingtang had already started to build a snowman. Judging from the outline, it looked like he was going to build a tiger.
Ye Jinyun stood in the yard and watched her build a snowman for a while, then felt a little cold in the wind, so she simply started to build a snowman as well. Moving around would help her warm up.
Yu Wan'er felt bored, so she pulled Xiaotao to play snowballs. After playing for a while, she ran over to see if they had finished building the snowballs.
"Hahaha, Sister Lin, your little cat snowman is uglier than my rabbit, hahaha..."
Lin Qingtang's face was filled with black lines. What was that look in her eyes? He was clearly a tiger, not a cat.
She glanced at the rabbit snowman she had just built nearby. Tsk, it was so skinny, how could it be better than hers.
Ignoring her words, Lin Qingtang continued to groom his tiger with his head down.
"Oh, Sister Ye, what is this pile of yours? It looks so strange," Yu Wan'er shouted in surprise again.
Ye Jinyun continued with his actions while answering her:
"This one, I named it Hello Kitty. It's not ready yet. Come back and see it later."
After saying that, she whispered a few more words in Qing'er's ear. Qing'er stopped helping her trim the snowman, got up and went back to the room, and came out again after a while.
I saw that she was holding a lot of things in her hands, including rouge, some small pieces of charcoal, some thin branches, and a small piece of pink cloth.
Yu Wan'er looked at these things curiously, wondering if she was going to use them to decorate a snowman?
At this time, Ye Jinyun had already finished the shape of Hello Kitty. He first took the charcoal from Qing'er's hand, picked out two relatively round ones of similar size, and pressed them on Hello Kitty's two eyes. Suddenly, the snowman came to life.
Then he took some thin branches, broke them into small pieces of different lengths, and stuck three of them on one side of his face. These became his beard.
She took the rouge box again, opened it, put some on her hand, first drew Hello Kitty's mouth, and then smudged two light blushes on her face.
Finally, I took the remaining piece of cloth, folded it into a bow, and placed it on the right ear. An ancient version of Hello Kitty snowman was formed.
Ye Jinyun looked at the Hello Kitty snowman and nodded with satisfaction.
Under these environmental conditions, it looks pretty good. Unlike in the previous life when we had eyeshadow palettes that could color these parts, we don’t have such conditions now. But the result is still pretty cute.
Yu Wan'er happily came over and looked at the novel snowman: "Wow, Sister Ye, this Hello Kitty snowman is so cute. After you decorated it like this, mine and Sister Lin's snowman are completely incomparable."
At this time, Lin Qingtang's tiger was also finished. She was feeling a little embarrassed. Her tiger did look a bit like a cat, and it was a big fat cat. It was really unbearable to look at.
Seeing her like this, Ye Jinyun turned to look at her tiger and burst out laughing. Lin Qingtang's face even turned slightly red.
It was rare for Ye Jinyun to see this expression on her face, and she couldn't stop laughing. Seeing that she refused to stop laughing, Lin Qingtang had no choice but to grab a piece of snow on the ground, roll it into a ball and throw it at her.
The snowball hit Ye Jinyun's arm. Not to be outdone, she rolled up a snowball and threw it back. The two of them started a snowball fight.
Later, Yu Wan'er also joined in. Not satisfied yet, she asked the palace maids to join in. Some palace maids with more lively personalities joined in immediately. A group of people staged a snowball fight in the yard with laughter and joy.
…
After playing for more than half an hour, everyone was finally exhausted and stopped playing. The three of them returned to the house panting, while the palace servants stayed in the yard and began to clean up their "masterpiece".
The three of them returned to their room and sat on the soft stools to rest. Lin Qingtang took a sip of milk tea, paused for a moment, frowned, and said:
"I don't know how the emperor's illness is progressing. He has been recuperating for more than two months, and there is no news of improvement. It's almost the end of the year, so don't let anything happen if we delay any longer.
My second brother sent me a message yesterday, saying that my father and my eldest brother would be stationed in the northern border and would not be returning to Beijing for the New Year. He also hinted at asking me about the emperor's condition, but how could I know? The Chengqian Palace is very tight-lipped, and I really can't figure it out. Right now, there's a lot of chaos outside the palace, which makes me very worried."
Ye Jinyun also nodded. She often heard Lin Qingtang talking about things outside recently. It was true that after the emperor fell ill, there seemed to be some turmoil in the court.
Some ministers wrote letters to the Queen Mother, requesting her to make early plans and adopt Prince An's son as the Crown Prince, so as to avoid the throne being left without a successor if something happened to the Emperor.
After hearing these memorials, the empress dowager became very angry and punished many ministers for being disrespectful to the emperor. For a time, the atmosphere in the court became tense and strange.
"I hope the emperor can recover soon, otherwise our future will not be easy."
The three of them nodded, and Yu Wan'er seemed to have thought of a suggestion:
"Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. Let's go to the plum garden to pray for the emperor. When I was at home, my mother would hang amulets on the plum branches every year on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month to pray for the safety of her family. Let's go and try it too."
Ye Jinyun and Lin Qingtang thought about it for a while and agreed to her proposal.
