Ningbao was overjoyed that the cold-dispelling talisman worked. She went back to her room and had a good night's sleep. The next morning, she gave up her heavy cotton-padded clothes and put on her beautiful summer clothes.
Despite Leng Xue and Leng Wu's repeated attempts to persuade her, she remained unmoved, declaring that she wanted to be the most beautiful child in the snow.
Unfortunately, she forgot a saying:
Your mother thinks you're cold!
Although Su Jingshu knew that Ningbao had a cold-repelling talisman and wouldn't be able to freeze, a mother's heart always felt that she should wear more clothes on a snowy day.
Seeing Ningbao go to eat breakfast in just a thin shirt, Su Jingshu quickly waved to Granny Su.
"Granny helped me find the new rabbit fur coat, fox fur cloak, and little leather boots that Ningbao was made for."
Not long after, Ningbao, dressed in chubby clothes, was carried away by Zhou Mingcheng.
Zhou Mingcheng didn't return until almost dawn. Su Jingshu had originally told him to go back to his room and rest, but he immediately perked up when he saw Ningbao.
"Come on, let your brother take you skiing!"
Today the snow has stopped, which is a rare treat – perfect time for skiing.
Ningbao's eyes lit up when she heard about skiing.
"Brother Mingcheng? What is skiing?"
Is it still possible to ski on the snow?
Zhou Mingcheng nodded.
"Of course you can ski on the snow, it's a lot of fun."
Although the north is cold, it boasts scenery unlike anywhere else.
Ning Bao looked at the snowflakes still dancing in the sky and sighed. The snow was beautiful, but it wouldn't be beautiful if it kept falling like this.
"Brother Mingcheng, do we have enough food in Mocheng?"
grain?
Zhou Mingcheng was taken aback. Weren't they just talking about skiing?
Why are we suddenly talking about food again? But Zhou Mingcheng isn't stupid; on the contrary, he's very clever. Ning Bao only asked one question and he already figured it out…
Is Ningbao worried that if the snow continues to fall, it will cause a snow disaster?
Ning Bao nodded.
“Well, Ningbao has never experienced a snow disaster before, so she doesn’t know what it will be like. Brother Mingcheng can do more preventative work.”
Zhou Mingcheng sighed softly.
"Snow disasters are different from other disasters. Some disasters can be predicted in advance and we can prepare accordingly. For example, we can store more water during droughts and dig more ditches to drain water during floods."
But they didn't know what to do about the snow disaster. An old man who could read the stars had already said that this year's snow would be heavy.
So several months ago, the king instructed the people of the north to store more firewood and grain and reinforce their houses to prepare for the cold winter. The royal palace also bought a lot of salt and herbs for treating colds from the surrounding cities.
We've done everything we could; now we just have to wait.
Ningbao was relieved to hear that everything that needed to be prepared had been done.
"Okay, brother, let's go skiing."
"Ningbao, what are you and your older brother planning to do in secret?"
As Zhou Mingxin walked towards them, he saw Ning Bao and his older brother dressed like they were about to go out and couldn't help but ask.
Ningbao pointed to the snow, which was deeper than her legs.
"Brother Mingcheng said he's taking Ningbao skiing. Does Brother Mingxin want to come along? And Senior Brother too."
Hearing about skiing, Shiraaki was also very interested.
"OK."
"Ningbao, come to me if you want to go skiing. Your older brother isn't as good as me."
Zhou Mingcheng raised an eyebrow and looked at his younger brother, who shared the same mother.
"Mingxin, you haven't been to Mocheng for two years. Are you sure you can ski better than me now?"
"Have you forgotten that we, the Zhenbei Army, are all expert skiers, and I'm now a member of the Zhenbei Army?"
