"I guess I missed her." Zhao Yunzhu didn't expect Qin Zongzhi to go to Yong'an Marquis's mansion to pick her up. "Send someone to find the prince and tell him that I've returned home."
"yes."
After everything was explained, Zhao Yunzhu simply went back to rest.
But just as she sat down, Prince An came back.
"I heard that a lot of things happened in Yong'an Marquis Mansion today."
Prince An sat beside her and asked, "How about you? Are you okay?"
Although he didn't know the details yet, he was only concerned about Zhao Yunzhu, worrying about whether he was safe and whether he had been wronged.
Zhao Yunzhu pulled the corners of her lips, smiled and said, "I'm fine."
Then he told Qin Zongzhi everything that happened in Yong'an Marquis Mansion today.
Prince An frowned upon hearing this.
After a while of fear, he said, "In the future, if you don't have me by your side at Yong'an Marquis Mansion, you'd better not go there."
"I didn't expect that this girl from the Liu family is so extraordinary."
The young general of the Liu family has such a character, but I didn’t expect that Miss Liu San would be like this.
"She survived a near-death experience and went through so many tragedies, so naturally she's changed a lot."
Zhao Yunzhu has her own opinion on this point. If Miss Liu San had experienced such a huge change, survived a near-death experience, and been betrayed by everyone, she would still be a simple-minded and naive lady from a noble family.
I'm afraid I've died countless times in my husband's family.
"After all, if I'm not with you, don't go to Yong'an Marquis Mansion again. Remember that."
There was a hint of worry in Qin Zongzhi's serious tone.
Zhao Yunzhu smiled bitterly, not wanting to make him worry. "Okay, I'll do as you say."
…
It hasn't snowed in Chang'an since winter began this year.
When Zhao Yunzhu woke up one morning, she looked out the window and saw a blinding white expanse outside. "Is it snowing outside?"
She was sitting at the dressing table while Linglong was doing her makeup. "It snowed all night last night. This morning, Aunt Hua had everyone sweep all the snow from the yard together. The sun is brighter today, so I think the snow will be mostly melted by tomorrow."
"It's the first snow of the year, so let's just go with the flow. Tell Aunt Hua to give the order and have barbecue today."
Zhao Yunzhu suddenly had an idea. She had been feeling tired and sleepy these days.
My appetite is not very good either. I heard it was snowing today.
Linglong was naturally delighted when she suddenly felt hungry. "Okay, I'll tell Madam Hua right away. I'm sure Madam Hua will be very happy to hear that the young lady finally has an appetite."
After Linglong helped Zhao Yunzhu to dress up, she added some silver charcoal to the charcoal basin in the room, and then went out to look for Nanny Hua, humming a little tune.
When Aunt Hua heard that the eldest lady finally had something she wanted to eat, she was happy about it the previous second, but the next second, her eyes suddenly dimmed.
Walk quickly towards the main house.
When he reached the door, he paused, raised his hand to brush off the cold dust on his body, then he lifted the thick curtain and entered the room.
She bowed to Zhao Yunzhu at the door, rubbed her hands, and walked towards the charcoal fire.
After the chill on her body was dispelled by the heat, she walked to the low couch by the window and said, "Miss, although eating barbecue is appropriate in winter, this charcoal fire is greasy and fiery. I'm afraid your body can't handle it now..."
"Mammy, I'll just try it to satisfy my craving. I won't eat too much. After I've had a couple of bites, we can set up the stove and eat some hot pot. That's perfect."
Zhao Yunzhu's eyes were so earnest that Nanny Hua couldn't bear to refuse.
After all, he sighed helplessly and finally agreed.
…
Because she didn't want Zhao Yunzhu to move around too much, Nanny Hua ordered people to clean up the west wing and lay a thick blanket on the floor.
He also ordered three pots of charcoal fire to be placed in the room, and the room was kept spotless.
Even the dust hidden in the carved windows was swept away.
After everything was ready, Aunt Hua went to report to Zhao Yunzhu.
Zhao Yunzhu was wearing a thick cloak, with her hands covered in gauntlets, and holding a hand warmer in her hands.
Almost wrapped tightly.
She originally wanted to go out for a walk, but the people in the house were so cautious and advised her against it, which made her unwilling to embarrass the people in the house anymore.
I saw a pile of snow outside that had been swept away and piled up in one place.
Although it was cold, it was very pleasing to watch.
The snow on the eaves melted under the sun and turned into drops of transparent water.
Tiny water droplets pattered onto the ground.
"Miss, let's go quickly. It's cold outside."
Zhao Yunzhu had only watched for a short while when Aunt Hua began to urge her worriedly.
"Okay." Zhao Yunzhu felt amused and helpless. Ultimately, she didn't want to make them worry.
Surrounded by maids and servants, she walked towards the west wing.
The maid opened the curtain and Zhao Yunzhu was standing at the door, a wave of heat hitting her face.
It was a chilly winter outside, but it felt like a scorching summer inside.
As soon as she entered the house, Linglong came forward to untie her cloak. Various meats were already roasting on the charcoal fire.
The aroma of meat filled the house.
"good."
Zhao Yunzhu sighed and glanced at the clean and spotless room. Even the various ornaments on the black lacquered treasure rack were wiped especially clean.
"Thank you for your trouble."
"Miss, this is what we should do. Please sit down and eat."
Aunt Hua helped Zhao Yunzhu sit down and eat.
While they were eating, a maid suddenly opened the curtain outside and said anxiously, "Concubine Yun."
Zhao Yunzhu put down her chopsticks and looked suspiciously at the maid standing at the door. "What's wrong?"
The maid bowed again, then spoke awkwardly, "Replying to Concubine Yun, the palace eunuchs have brought a young lady to our residence. They are waiting in the flower hall."
Zhao Yunzhu frowned when she heard this. "Do you know if she's the young lady from Chang'an?"
What else could be sent from the palace except a woman for Prince An?
But this news had not been leaked at all before, and now the person was suddenly sent directly to her, so she was unable to react for a while.
The maid shook her head and said, "I don't know Concubine Yun. She doesn't look like a young lady from any family in Chang'an."
"oh?"
Zhao Yunzhu stood up, Linglong tied the cloak back on the young lady, and everyone followed Concubine Yun to the flower hall.
Along the way, Zhao Yunzhu was secretly wondering in her heart what kind of woman was coming today.
I just waited until I got to the flower hall and saw the girl in the purple dress standing in the middle of the flower hall, although it was only her back.
Zhao Yunzhu recognized the person at a glance. The person was none other than Miss Wang Min from the Wang family.
"Concubine Yun."
The eunuch saw her coming and greeted her respectfully with a smile. Wang Min turned around when she heard her voice and bowed respectfully, "Concubine Yun."
Zhao Yunzhu said "hmm".
He just looked at the eunuch and asked, "Sir, what does this mean?"
The eunuch smiled and said cautiously, "Replying to Concubine Yun, this is the daughter of Lord Wang. The Queen Mother heard that Miss Wang knew you, so she asked Concubine Yun to take good care of Miss Wang for some time."
