Chapter 80 I didn't expect you to hide one
When Xiyue heard the words "Zhaochun Palace", she almost bit her tongue.
In previous years, these two items were exclusively for the Empress, not even the Queen, but this time they were given to Concubine Zhao!
But she didn't dare to ask Wang Decai, because Concubine Zhao was pregnant with a baby.
She could only snort coldly and turned away.
"My lady, those two items have been sent to Zhaochun Palace."
Jin Weige was drawing her eyebrows. Upon hearing this, she broke the Xingzidai in her hand and laughed in anger, "Well, it used to belong to me, but this year it's in someone else's hands. What a Concubine Zhao!"
She raised her hand, and Xiyue immediately picked up the handkerchief to clean it.
"The Queen Mother's birthday banquet will be held in a few days. There will be many people and I don't believe she can hide away! Have you done what I asked you to do?"
"Of course, your Majesty, don't worry."
Jin Weige put on her armor and said, "That's good. This time I want to see her bleed to death!"
Bai Wutong, who was embroidering, felt her ears getting hot. As the saying goes, someone was thinking of her.
But I don’t know whether the person who misses her is good or bad.
She put down her needlework and said, "Yingchun."
"I'm here." Yingchun walked in quickly, holding dried apricots in her hand and placed them next to Bai Wutong.
"How many days are left until the Queen Mother's birthday banquet?"
Yingchun said without hesitation, "Six more days."
Six days...
That is, early January.
By then the baby in her belly would be three months old.
Before I knew it, time had passed so quickly.
It seems that this birthday party is going to be lively. I wonder how many people will be staring at her belly.
Bai Wutong washed his hands and continued to instruct, "You and Chan'er should eat more and drink less water before the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. Stay by my side. No matter who wants to lead you away, don't listen. Act carefully and pay attention to safety."
Yingchun nodded seriously. She also knew that the day of the birthday banquet was the best time to take action against Zhaopin.
It was getting dark, and the Emperor showed no sign of coming.
Bai Wutong told the palace servants not to wait and closed the palace door directly.
A good night's sleep.
…
"Empress, it's snowing!" Chan'er's surprised voice echoed throughout Zhaochun Palace.
Bai Wutong put on a cloak and stepped out of the palace.
All you see is snow-white, with flying eaves and roofs everywhere.
It was still snowing outside, and a thin layer of snow covered the ground. The thin branches nearby could not bear the weight and broke with crisp sounds.
Snowflakes, carried by the wind, fell into Bai Wutong's palm, making it feel cold.
"My lady, look at how beautiful the snow is. I heard that the heavier the first snow, the better the harvest will be next year. What does the book say?"
Yingchun took over the conversation, "Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest."
"Yes, that's the word!"
Bai Wutong looked up, and snowflakes were still falling.
She felt sad and couldn't help but recall the scene when she was a child, pretending to hide in the snow, waiting for her parents to find her.
At that time she had snow-white hair and no human body.
Snow is her favorite thing.
Xiao Ningzi brought people in and prepared to clean up.
Bai Wutong stopped him, "No need to clean it, just leave it like this, just clear a small path for two people to pass through."
"My lady, if you don't clean it up in time, the floor will be slippery."
"It's just the first snow, it's nothing serious." Bai Wutong walked on the snow, leaving a small footprint, "We can clean it up tomorrow. Chan'er, you and Yingchun don't have to work today, come and build a snowman with me."
Chan'er was excited, but she was still concerned about Bai Wutong's health. "My lady, the snow is very cold. You'd better not touch it, or you will catch a cold."
"It's okay, I like it. It's just a touch for a while, it's no big deal." Bai Wutong grabbed a handful of snow.
Touching with human skin is very different from before.
Unfortunately, things have changed and everything is over.
In the midst of all white, a slender figure in bright yellow stood with his hands behind his back.
Zhang Chengyan quietly watched Bai Wutong playing in the snow, and his originally restless heart became somewhat peaceful.
Yunxiang saw him first and hurriedly bowed, "Your Majesty."
Bai Wutong turned her head. Her headdress was simple with only two strands of hair falling on her shoulders. Her moonlit cloak was covered with a circle of rabbit fur, surrounding her red, frozen little face. However, her eyes were exceptionally clear, just like the first snow that had just fallen.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?"
"On the first snow day, I came to see you."
He strode forward and held Bai Wutong's cold little hand, "Bring the hot water bottle."
Yunxiang had already prepared it and handed it to Zhang Chengyan, "Your Majesty, the queen is lively and cheerful. She was very happy to see the first snow today, so she came forward to play for a while, and it took less than a quarter of an hour in total."
Bai Wutong glanced at her. Yunxiang was a talkative person who knew how to help her make amends.
She was pregnant, so she shouldn't have touched such a cold object.
Bai Wutong held the hot water bottle and looked up at Zhang Chengyan, "Your Majesty, I don't want to play anymore."
"It's okay to just play for a while." Zhang Chengyan took her back to the hall.
Wang Decai brought people to bring charcoal basins and placed them in every corner of the hall. In a short while, hot steam rose and soon filled the entire room.
Bai Wutong took off her cloak, revealing her short coat with a cross collar and a gold-woven skirt.
"I ordered people to come and repair the underground heating, so that it won't be cold even in the deep winter."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bai Wutong took out a small snowman from his sleeve and molded it into the shape of a raccoon. Although it had no eyebrows or eyes and its appearance was simple, it was very similar to the spirit. "This is for Your Majesty."
"I didn't expect you to hide one." Zhang Chengyan took it and looked at it carefully. "Wang Decai, take it outside the palace."
Otherwise it will turn into a puddle of water in a short while.
Wang Decai took it carefully, quickly left the palace, put it on a tray, and told the eunuch, "Remember, this cannot be melted, understand?"
"Yes, I'll remember that." The young eunuch held the tray, stood in the cold wind, and stared without blinking.
Suddenly, I seemed to see a cat.
It was not until the cat was at his feet that he woke up from his dream, "Fubao, why are you here?"
Fubao ignored him, with his tail raised high and his eyes looking towards Zhaochun Palace.
Zhang Chengyan's deep voice could be faintly heard from inside.
"The Queen Mother's birthday banquet will be held in a few days. I have ordered someone to make you a set of crown and clothes. They will be delivered to you by the Ministry of Internal Affairs soon. Please try them to see if they fit you well."
